Chapter 19

Amon instructed Dojima to take Touko and tie her up and take her to the cellar. Nagira had already sent some of his men to monitor the airport for Robin's arrival. Amon knew that Zaizen had probably instructed his men to execute Robin if anyone tries to rescue her. He was an impatient man and the waiting game was giving him a bad headache. He went down the cellar to see how his two hostages were fairing.

Amon went over to Michael first. He looked at the young boy who proclaimed to love Robin. He was contemplating on what he should do with him. He stood over Michael.

"If I let you go, will you see Robin still?"

Michael remained quiet.

"You better answer me, Dojima is not here to remind me why I shouldn't put my fist through your face."

Michael gulped down "Yes, if she wish to see me. We are friends."

Amon pulled the leg of the chair Michael was tied to and flipped it over. Michael tumbled over and made a slight sound of pain. Amon ignored it. Amon squatted down to Michael's level. Michael was laying on his side still tied up to the chair.

"When she comes back here, I plan to marry her." Amon informed Michael.

"She will never be safe with you." Michael told him quietly

"She will not be safe without me either." Amon told him

"Look as much as I hate you Michael, we share a common interest in Robin."

"Yes, you right about that Mr. Masawi. I know that Robin loves you and eventhough I wish to be more than a friend to her, she broke it off with me that night before she was kidnapped. I love Robin and I will respect her decision to want to be with you because I want to see her happy."

"Hum, so I guess I really don't have a beef with you. I will let you go but not until I get Robin back here safely because I promise her your safety."

"Dojima will release you of your restraint and your free to roam the compound with one of my men. Don't try anything because I going to instruct that they are free to put a bullet in your head.........sorry about the spill you took on the floor." Amon left Michael on the floor.

He walked over to Touko. Touko still had the handkerchief around her mouth.

"Touko, this look is very becoming." Amon gently traced the lines of her lips over the handkerchief.

"Very reminiscent of the old days when we use to tie each other up." He continued to tease her

Touko mumbled something to Amon. Amon lifted his eyebrow.

"I'm sorry Touko, I didn't quite catch that." Amon chuckled

He slipped off the handkerchief. Touko glared at Amon.

"How can you treat me like this. I don't deserve this kind of treatment." Touko spat

"I really should put you over my knees and paddle your backside, but you might just enjoyed that." Amon countered.

"All I did was fall in love with you." Touko's eyes started to water and she looked away from him.

"Touko you don't know what love is even if it hit you. Your just a snobby bitch who has nothing better to do then disrupt other people's life for fun."

"That's not true Amon, Your all I think about. I have loved you from the very first time we played tag with each other as kids."

Touko tears started rolling down her cheeks and she tried to stop herself from crying. She didn't want Amon to see her weak. She had always been a proud woman and she always kept her emotions at bay. This last assault on her had just taken it's toll. Her heart was broken. Deep down she still loved Amon no matter how awful he treated her. It wasn't possible that he can just fall in love with someone he barely knew, to a common waitress with no money. She always stuck by him even when he cheated on her constantly. She refused to comprehend that her and Amon were not meant to be.

Amon stood emotionless and cold. He didn't relish the emotional turmoil that he had just put Touko through but he also didn't cave in. He never truly loved her, at most he had a puppy love crush on her when they were teens but he grew out, it was unfortunate Touko didn't. He knew if he had to decide between Robin's life and Touko's, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet in Touko's head to save Robin. Amon left the room.

Robin and Antonio descended from the small private plane. They were back in Japan. It was morning and they were both escorted to a Limo. Robin hesitated to enter when she saw Zaizen Masaki.

"Please Ms. Sena, come in."Zaizen with icy sweetness greeted

Antonio pushed Robin in and sat right next to her. Robin jabbed him on the side of his ribs in retaliation.

Zaizen was gazing at Robin with open appreciation. Robin averted her eyes to the window. He gave her a creepy feeling.

"Robin, you have put my daughter and I in a quandary. It seems that Amon has been really taken by you."

Robin didn't reply.

"You see Robin, I can understand to some level Amon's attraction to you, afterall he is still just a man"

Robin just glanced over at him and returned her position back to the window.

"I despise your kind. Your not of noble birth and you belong to the lowest class of people. Your inferior and you will only soil the gene pool of Amon's descendents." Zaizen continued

"No your wrong, just because I grew up poor does not make me inferior to you or your bitchy daughter." Robin spoke back

Zaizen backhanded Robin. Robin head spun to the side and she hit the side of the window. She slowly straightened to her original position and refused to back down. She can taste the blood in her mouth. She looked over at Zaizen defiantly. Antonio held her back.

"Robin please just let it go. He can kill you." Antonio whispered to her.

"Mr. Masaki, I am so sorry for Robin's outburst. Please forgive her, she is only eighteen and have not developed any manners yet."

Robin shut her lip tightly and glared at Antonio. Her brother was slowly becoming someone she doesn't know anymore.

"What do you want from me. Mr. Masaki?"

"Amon had abducted my daughter. He wants to trade her life with yours." Zaizen laughed. Zaizen's hatred was very apparent when he looked over Robin.

"My daughter doesn't deserve to lose out to a commoner like you. She should be the one marrying Amon. Your only good enough to be his concubine."

Robin was about to retort back but Antonio covered her mouth and shook his head. Robin held back. He released his hold and warned her with his eyes to shut up.

Zaizen called Amon on the phone.

"Ok Amon, I have your precious little cargo, where shall we meet?"

"There is an abandon factory by the dock, We will meet there right now. My men are already following your Limo so don't try anything."

"Amon, I have to hand it to you. Your quite an excellent leader just like your father." Zaizen sneered

"Cut the bullshit and let me talk to Robin."

"Hai" Zaizen handed the phone to Robin.

"Hello" Robin spoke

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you in anyway." Amon asked

Zaizen took out his gun and aimed it on Antonio.

"Hai, I'm fine."

"I will be seeing you shortly." Amon told her gently

"Yes, we have a lot of catching up to do." She smiled into the phone

Zaizen grabbed the phone for her.

"Ok Amon, we will see you at the factory in 10 minutes."

Zaizen hung up the phone.

"You know Robin, as long as I am alive. You and your children will never be safe."

Robin, Antonio, and Zaizen remained silent the rest of the ride.
