Chapter-7
"Oh Kay are you sure you can carry me?"
"I'm already doing that am I not?"
"You are a sweetheart Kay."
Those words coming out of a familiar voice got the attention of Zero Kiryu, who, was sitting by one of the open aired café by the beach when his eyes once more picked up the sight of Kaname carrying that jet black haired female on his back. More like giving her what is usually given to little girls…a piggy back ride! The scene actually reflected the reality of the situation; the girl did indeed sit up on Kaname's back. Zero did not even have the heart to tell Yuki about this and not even in horror he could imagine what Aiyora must be going through. The poor soul she loves him so much and what is he giving her back in return…?
A pretty good stab on the back!
Zero continued to stare at them with utter disgust pilling up in the pit of his stomach. And finally the dark haired male noticed him. He quickly put down the girl from his back and ushered her to go and wait for him in the hotel and promised to meet her in an hour and the girl left but before leaving pulled the brunette in for a quite deep kiss which he returned with the equal amount of passion. Oh how much Zero wished Yuki was here, so that he could see her reaction upon his her 'idol picture of a husband' eating up another woman's mouth.
Sending his lady friend away Kaname then approached towards Zero's table and sat down on the opposite end without an invitation and ordered rose tea for himself calling over the nearby waitress.
Zero paid no attention to the male and instead continued to watch the football on the TV screen of the café. Then again what was even left to ask? Everything is clear. One would have to be blind not to notice this. But what made no sense to Zero was to why bring your mistress into the same vacation where you have your wife? Why rub salt on the wound? His mind could not help but wonder what wrong has Aiyora ever done to deserve something like this?
"How is your morning going?" Kaname asked sipping into his tea.
"Great." Zero asked without taking his eyes off the screen.
"Where is Yuki-chan?"
"Sleeping!" Zero hoped his voice sounded disinterred enough to show him that he was in no mood to converse with a cheating bastard.
A pause fell between them and it stretched for a while till Kaname once more decided to break it.
"It's not what it looks like?"
"Sorry what!?" Zero decided to play dumb.
"She is just a friend." The brunette clarified looking straight into his lavender eyes.
"I did not ask for an explanation."
Kaname would have talked more but his phone rang and he went ahead and took the call leaving Zero all to himself.
…
Zero had to knock on the door for several time for it to be finally answered. Aiyora opened the door in quite a dishevelled form. The sigh of her sort of shocked Zero, his lavender eyes were used to seeing her in her usual glamorous form but this however was a different story.
"Oh Zero…how can I help you?" She was shocked to find him at her doorstep but invited him anyways.
She led Zero to the living area of their suite and offers him a seat.
"What would you like to have?" She politely asked. "I can call room service."
"I came to check on you Aiyora. After all we haven't actually seen you for some time." Zero replied while with his hand stopping her to take any hassle of calling for room services. Then he finally asked taking in a deep breath. "Is everything alright with you?"
"I am alive…so everything is just fine." Her voice so sarcastic nor did she put any effort to hide it.
He took notice of how red and puffy her eyes were, as if she has been crying for day. Not to mention the bag under her eyes, her hollow cheek bones, her fake smile that she was having difficulty to hold onto and most importantly that sad distant look of her beautiful green eyes. Zero secretly loved those green eyes of her; even not too long ago they were so vibrant and lovely and now as bad as dead.
Aiyora talked to him trying her best to sound as normal as possible but Zero already knew it was nothing but her desperate attempt to fake that everything was alright.
A night later giving into Yuki's demand Zero decided to take her clubbing. While waiting for the cab in the lobby Yuki suddenly picked up the sight of Kaname Kuran walking into the lobby while taking on his phone. However upon seeing Yuki and Zero the brunette immediately hung up and proceeded towards them.
"Kaname -San," Yuki right away scooted far and offered the empty space beside her to that man.
"So where are you both heading to?" Kaname asked sitting down beside Yuki.
"To the club." Yuki responded right away and offered. "Why don't you join with us!?"
The brunette male chuckled a little her request earning a glare from her silver haired husband which he totally ignored.
"Actually we are heading to the club too. Why don't you both join us." Kaname offered this time meeting Zero in the eyes and entertaining himself to the suspicious look the silver headed male was providing.
"Who do you mean by we?" Zero finally opened his mouth.
Although Yuki gave him a confused stare but Kaname on the other hand knew exactly what Zero was referring to.
"Kiryu -kun...I'm an honourable man and an honourable man only prefers to stay within the company of his wife."
The frown on Zero's face deepened at the mockingly smug reply of Kaname's, whereas Yuki on the other hand had the totally opposite effect, her respect towards the brunette grew. Since she was unable to see into Kaname's sarcasm.
Over ten minutes passed since Kaname joined them, yet there was no sign of Aiyora coming down.
"I apologize but Aiyora sometimes do tend to take longer times to get ready."
"Oh that's totally fine... we don't mind waiting." Yuki stated shyly smiling.
"In that case why don't we go on our way." Zero hoped this was his best way to get away from this vile excuse of a man who was engaged in quite an intense conversation with his wife.
"No need for that..." The third voice interrupted them.
The trio looked behind to see Aiyora walking down the stairs, stepping into the lobby looking her best, probably the most glorious in the midnight blue laced dress that ended few inches above her knees. Yuki and Kaname watched the approaching female in awe while Zero had more of a shocked look on his face. A part of him refused to believe this is the same broken woman whom he encountered in the suite.
To say that she was glowing would probably be an understatement. More like she enlightened the whole lobby with each step she took. Everything in her was perfectly done, starting from her deep smoked out eyes to matted red lip, to her countered face to her highlighted cheekbones and her hair that sat in perfect voluminous waves. But beating all these what stood out the most was her lavender eyes. Well you see Aiyora naturally has deep green eyes, however for tonight she decided to conceal those green ones by wearing light lavender contact lenses making her eyes matching with the same hues of Zero Kiryu.
Next thing Zero noted was how shamelessly Kaname walked towards his wife and engulfed her into his arms.
"Yuki, Zero-kun please go on without us..." The brunette declared. "My mind changed I would rather be in our bedroom than elsewhere."
Yuki blushed at his indecent hints while Aiyora just herself out of his arms and approached the other awaiting couple.
"I have no desire to be in bed with that man," Aiyora nearly spat making strong eye contact with Zero. "I might as well spend my night with you both."
And Kaname was suddenly behind the light brown haired female grabbing her by the waist and whispered biting into her earlobe.
"In that case you leave me with no other choice to follow." With that said left couple of open mouthed kisses on her neck, showering her with all the love and affection! Yuki watched the other couples intimacy while Zero only saw how annoyed Aiyora was by the way she was rolling her eyes at his closeness. Then again could anyone blame the poor girl? No…hell no.
At the club even among all those other woman who barely wore anything and looking all dolled up Zero eyes always found its way back to Aiyora. She was sitting by the bar beside her husband who was practically fawning all over her. Kaname even pulled her off her stool and placed her on his lap.
"What are you doing?" Aiyora hissed, turning her head back at him but he responded by removing her hair to one side and burring his face at the crook of her neck. She was trying her best to fight him off but in his drunken estate Kaname probably did not understand that.
Both Kaname and Yuki did quite a lot of shots. Despite Zero's protest she took Kaname's offer to do shots…and what did that result in? You guessed it right…someone who is not used to the concept of drinking too much of alcohol she started to throw up in the middle of the dance floor while dancing her mind off. Zero had to carry her in and out of the washroom. And once he returned carrying his unconscious wife he noticed the Kaname and Aiyora had actually gotten into a fight. Due to loud music he could not hear but their body language clearly stated that they were screaming and his suspicions were soon confirmed because Aiyora slapped her husband across the face. This time Kaname however acted quite aggressively. His response to her slap was to pull her in for a forced kiss where he was almost tearing off her lower lips with his teeth. Aiyora was trying with all her might to push him aside but surely their strength could not be matched. From his postion all Zero could do was watch with hatred reflecting in his eyes as Kaname threw Aiyora over his shoulders and walked up the stairs to what looked more like a private lounging areas for the VIPs.
Holding Yuki tightly in his arms Zero tried to follow but after a certain extent the security stopped. Zero would have fought with the security if Yuki was not with him because what his eyes saw happening at behind the large glass window was beyond cruel…that bastard Kaname was holding Aiyora by the throat with her few feet above the floor and placed her against the wall while he mercilessly continued to thrust inside of her. Aiyora was not only crying but screaming, she was screaming out loud but alas no one heard her because the loud music in the club only muted her.
Next afternoon Yuki and Zero were relaxing by the beach when Kaname and Aiyora suddenly showed up. To Zero's surprise the couple was even holding hands though Aiyora did not even for once look at Kaname. However last night's brutality had left is mark clearly visible. Marks of his fingers around her throat were still clearly sitting there and off-course the occasional bites here and there.
Yuki asked her several times what happened but the female only successfully dodged the topic. But at one point though Zero was able to pick up few lines from their conversation where Aiyora admitted to Yuki that she is jealous of her, her happiness that Zero provides. She also mentioned that from the outside she looks happy but the reality is she is not happy in her life. Yuki inquired for details pointing out what a great guy Kaname is but at that exact moment Aiyora focused her green eyes on him and gave him a lusted longing look. Zero wanted to ignore but somehow could not evade those longing stares. It was as if she was calling out to him…calling out to him for help...like he is the only knight in shining armour who can save her from this villainous Kaname Kuran!
Next day too Yuki and Zero found Kaname and Aiyora by the beach. As usual Kaname was over the phone doing his business discussions while Aiyora remained lost in a world of her own. Yuki and Zero stayed with Aiyora since Kaname was still not done with his phone. Soon after Zero noticed Kaname's call was not actually a business call, he was actually flirting with the person on the other side. Zero looked away with disgust and focused on the females. But soon Kaname joined them.
"Yuki-chan…?" The brunette touched a portion of Yuki's face taking her off guard. "Are you wearing sunscreen?"
"Um…I…I guess." Yuki stuttered at the sudden touch of the dark haired male.
"Yes she is! Now stop touching her." Zero interfered by taking the males' hand off his wife.
Kaname just looked at the male and flashed a kind smiled then pulled his and out of his grasp.
"Yuki, the sun is harsh you might as well put on some more sunscreen…unless you want to brun your pretty face."
"Oh thank you for caring about me." Yuki said bowing with respect before rushing toward her bag only to find out that her sunscreen has gone missing. "I think I left mine in the room. Never mind the hotel is not far I will go and grab it."
Before Zero could stop her she ran and left the scene. And soon after Yuki's exist Kaname's phone once more ranged. Both Zero and Aiyora head a female voice from the other side speaking.
"I'm waiting for you…Kay!"
"I'll be there." with that said he hung up and proceeded towards his wife. He affectingly cupped her face and said "I will be back shortly."
Aiyora slapped his hand away and closed her eyes crushed close in disgust. But that seemed to have no effect on the male since he already was on his way to meet his other woman.
A soft sobbing sound made Zero look at the female that was left alone with him. His heart throbbed at the sight of Aiyora crying. She looked so helpless.
"I'm sure it's just some important business client." Zero spoke rubbing her head trying his best to console her thought he very well knew how much of a failed attempt it would really be. Getting no repose from her he removed his hand focused on the oncoming waves of tides before them. He just remained there quietly listing to her cry. Then suddenly her crying stopped, Zero tought maybe she has pulled herself together but only to turn and see that Aiyora was no longer there. His heart jumped and he looks forth to see her jumping into the water in hopes to finish her life.
Without thinking Zero to jumps; and finally after a lot of hustle and struggle finally manages to pull her out of water and place her on the beach pinning her down with his body.
"WHY DID YOU SAVE ME?" she screamed. "WHY? WHY? WHY?"
"Aiyora listen to me."
"NO YOU LISTEN TO ME…I WANTED TO DIE!" She spat. "I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE. I WANT TO DIE. I WANT TO DIE ZERO." She broke into loud cries leaving the silver haired male no choice but to pull her into his arms. At first Aiyora tried to break free of him but eventually gave away and embraced him back sobbing into his chest while he tightly held her into his arms and whispered into her ear one thing
"It will all be alright."
And little did neither of them know that this very comforting embrace looked quite sensual to the eyes of the one watching it. Another thing that both were unaware of was the very fact that their little moment was being captured in camera.
A victorious smirk curled up his lips with every clicking sound the camera made. Each photo turned out to be better than the other and only one words escaped his lips at the perfection of the pictures.
"Perfect!"
…And this despicable task was done by none other than Kaname Kuran himself!
