Other Chapters: Eisuke’s Jealousy (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
“Ugh fine, sorry darling I think we will need to have this conversation later.” Natalie said as she stood up and walked to the door. As soon as she had left silence took over the whole suit, leaving only the resonating sound of the door closing. No one wanted to say anything. Gently, you moved your left hand, bringing it towards your sight. You glanced at the ring Eisuke had given you the night before. The ring that had promised a better future. Eisuke seeing the confusion in your eyes decided to break the silence in a slow calm voice,
“Sweetheart, “ now coming closer to you, “Let me explain, she is just-”
“a coworker, a friend, a business partner, a women, a stranger. I know, I got it.” You said still looking at your ring.
“_________, no, I don’t think you do. Listen to me, Will You!” He said exasperated, it was his reaction to how calm and carefree you were.
“I don’t want to argue Eisuke, I’m tired and frankly I don’t want to touch the subject.” You said with exhaustion in your eyes. You then grabbed your purse and headed to the door.
“______, we are not done talking.” You closed the door but still could hear him say. “Dam it, I’m talking to you.” This was the first time you had ever ignore Eisuke or walked out on him. 6 months before, you would of been so frightened to ever do that, but now you could not give two cents. Walking out of the entrance of the hotel you pulled out the phone from your purse and without thinking you dialed François.
“________……I’m about to go to the meeting, what’s up?”
“I need some one who I can trust, someone who won’t play with my emotions like they were trash.” You voice cracked at the last word.
“Wait for me at the cafe near there, remember, the one I showed you the other time. ”
“Ok wait for me there I’ll try to get out of here somehow. mmh just wait for me there ok.” Saying yes you hung up and took a deep breath, you were so tired of this women by now, and so used to this, you calmly walked to your destination.
You some how mange to order something with a lot of efforts, and sat down. You no longer cared about Eisuke, all you care was that you were warm cozy in that Autumn day. You though of the differences that between the two men while you looked at the two rings your hand, one in your left and the other one in your right. You had so much hope for the future just the night before.
As you took sips of your latte, you observed the orange leaves falling to the ground. You were in your zen, yet you knew that you could break down crying at any point. “Hey, I came as soon as I could. Is everything alright?” François said as he sat down next to you.
“Ooh hi, I just wanted to get away and be with you” You followed François’s glance as he took a look at your right hand to see if you still had on the ring he had giving you. However you notice a faint frown as he saw that you had on Eisuke’s ring as well.
“_________, tell me what happened, did he do anything. I mean you had just accepted to marry him last night” he said with annoyance.
“Did you stop to think about how this could of affected me”
“….I didn’t have the time to think”
“can you let me explain to you!” everybody was now watching your fight as you raised your voice.
“I’m sorry _______. I’m just jealous and mad that you accepted his proposal. How about we continue this conversation at my place?” He said almost whispering. You nodded since you knew you had made a scene. However, it wasn’t to your knowledge that Eisuke had chased after you and had seen you and François walking towards a car. He was gasping for air as he had ran to look after you, fear and jealousy were consuming him as he saw you leave in François’s car.
Both of you were silent on the ride to his Mansion. However as soon as you guys steeped through the gates he mumble, “Alright, now yell at me all you want but that was a stupid decision you made yesterday, and you know it.”
“Can you not! I came here because I wanted to get away from it!”
“Well that is fair!” He said sarcastically. “I thought you had made your decision yesterday ______.”
“I thought I did…A women named Natalie came today…”
“Well..” he chuckle as he bit his lip, “that is how she is, she steals from people.”
“We are working together in your Fiancé’s Hotel.”
“Don’t call him that right now.” you rolled your eyes at the thought of what had happened that morning.
“She is very attractive I have to admit. Any men would be down on his knees for her. That is, every men who doesn’t know her cruelty of corse.” He looked distantly at the sky.
“Can we just…just forget François. I’m here, with you.” With a gentle movement he directed his soft gaze at you. Now walking towards you and with a hopeless tone he responded,
“Spending time with you is like being in heaven, it doesn’t matter if we are fighting. It stills feels like a fresh freeze to me ______.” Instantly his words numbed your sadness. “Lets go inside, it’s getting cold out here. Would you want something to drink, anything?” looking at his watch he continued, “well its past 12, how about we have something to eat.”
Dinner was delicious, and François like always, a total gentlemen. After dinner you both went for a walk around the neighborhood. You guys talked about new projects François was getting, deciding which one would be better to do then others. You loved how he included in the decisions he took. “Where do you want to do now ______?”
“I have no idea,” you giggle.
“Weee could go and make a perfume for you, that is always fun.”
“You mean make a perfume exclusively for me?
“Haha, yes just for you” he cupped your jaw line. “ask me for anything and you’ll have it.”
“I…” your emotions betrayed you as you reached to hug him, resting your head on his chest.
François took a moment before you felt his strong arms embrace you. “Lets go back to my place, there is a surprise for you…actually its not a surprise anymore.”
“You had already called someone to come to make me a fragrance?”
“You guessed it, he always does mines and I tend to find it really fun to do.” He smile down at you as you were still in his arms.
Just as François had said, there was a guy with a bunch of suit cases there. You guys talked and waited for him to get set up. After a long fun time of smelling fragrances and coffee beans, you guys arrived at one that you liked. “Yes, oh my god, this one! it smells so good!” excitement escaping from your voice box.
“Let me take a look at that, “ he said, grabbing the sample you were holding, “this is just so you, this defines your personality darling” He smiled at you handing you back the sample. This was the first time he ever called you something else other then Ms. Ichinomiya or _______. His action had taken you by surprise making you blank out for a second.
“Of course you can! that one and much more!”
It was now almost 6pm, and you did not want to go back to the hotel, you knew that just stepping over the reception would be like steeping into the gates of hell. “_______, its getting a bit late and I’m sure Eisuke will be asking for you. I would love for you to stay here with me forever. However I know that right now you can’t. I also know that staying here might make your life miserable with Eisuke. You have two options, we start heading back to the hotel and continue this….frankly stupid thing that we are doing right now, or you stay with me and I’ll deal with Eisuke and the rest, you choose darling”
“You know that this is difficult, give me time,” you said as you got a hold of his right hand. “It is best for I to go today back to the hotel. I have yet many things to think and go through.” You knew that François was trying his best to be comprehensive to your situation, and you felt frustrated with yourself that you couldn’t make up your mind.
You guys arrived back at the hotel around 7pm, and you sure knew that Eisuke was going to be fuming. As soon as you got out of the car you saw Ryosuke outside the hotel, he was making a call. Not putting to much attention to him, you walked in with François.
“Well I’ll be going now, night, if anything bad happens, don’t be afraid to call me. ok?”
“Alright, will do.” He then gave you a kiss on the back of your hand and left. As you headed to the elevator you saw eisuke coming down.
“There you are honey.” He was approaching you, and you knew that you were dead. “I have something incredible to show you up stairs” he said smiling.
“Uuum actually, I…I, How about we go out to eat something. Yeah lets dine out” you said softly trying to avoid being alone with him. You could see that he was annoyed as he answered with an un-genuine tone,
“Anything for you.” he then dialed someone, “Close the restaurant for me….. yes I’ll leave it up to the chef. Anything goes to my tab” Your eyes opened up and the only thing you could think was, “Mother of god, I’m dead, he closed it. I knew he wasn’t going to let this one slide. Gosh this didn’t go as planned! Of course not, he is Eisuke, why am I so stupid.”
The ride was silent, you could hear a pin drop. Eisuke to your surprise didn’t attempted anything. He just sat there, probably planning something. At the restaurant it was a whole different thing.
“She is a coworker who got me richer then I was before, happy”
“I want to do both, eat and talk to you. I don’t think there is a problem with that” coldly he looked at you as he finished his sentence. You could sense that there was something he was hiding, perhaps something he knew. What you did not know was that he had seen you and François together and was beginning to suspect of both of you.
“H-How was your day,” your voice echoed through the room, the restaurant was empty, it was only you and Eisuke alone.
“I’ll let you take a guess at that ‘honey’.” He said emphasizing the word honey and making it sound sarcastic.
“Your jealousy attacks ruined my day. If that is what you want to know.” His cold tone made the temperature of your body drop, you could now feel that your feet where getting cold. You have never walked out on him before. “Have anything to add?” he snapped.
“I-I….I didn’t want to…to talk about it at that moment.”
“…and you thought that immature action would be the solution? Seems like I overestimated you.” He said as looked at you up and down. Your flesh burning under his gaze. “You don’t seem talkative today,______?” he scoffed.
“What can I say when you are looking at me in such way…” you thumped the glass of red wine you had in hand with your fingers, looking away from Eisuke as to avoid his eyes.
“What did you do today,” now inquiring he took a bite of the stake that was seating in front of him. You had tried to avoid this at all cost, and you were not about to give up now.
“Paris, just walking and thinking.”
“I hope that for your own good, you are not telling any lies _____.” he stated taking another bite
“There is no need to make any threats Eisuke” you sipped down the smooth wine, you needed some boost to get you throughout the night.
“Nervous, why be ______? There are no photographers here. You can relax honey.” He gave you a friendly smile. “This stake…its good, you should try it.” Eisuke took his fork and offered a pice of his meat to you. Not daring to do or say anything that would get him mad you took the fork and ate the meat.
“…Hhm…yeah I guess its good. The food is delicious every where you take me Eisuke” smiling you gave him back his fork.
“The guys asked were you were, they wanted to see you.” Wiping his lips he continued, “You know in what position that put me in _____?”
“The guys!” you gasped, bringing your hands to your cover your lips.
“Oh! Now you remember, to late baby, the punishment is already thought and planed.” He snapped.
“I will limit your credit cards. You are not allowed to go out anywhere, except with people I approve of.” You were relieve it was only that. “and I don’t approve of François. You got it.
“What do you mean I can’t go out?” you raised your tone, the liquor had done its job. “Don’t you think I’m old enough to make my own decisions? You have got to be kidding me right?”
“Ooh so François sparked the anger I see”
“No!..not at all its just that I don’t find it fair. Actually why are you even bringing him up?” you sassed.
“You know why” he let out a deep breath. All you could think then was how he was been such a hypocrite. “Alright I’m done, lets go home I have a busy schedule tomorrow.” He got up and you followed him to the limo.
As you got out of the limo with Eisuke, both of you were attacked by paparazzi and reporters, apparently your engagement was the talk of the season.
“Have you guys talked about the wedding?”
“Are you guys expecting a baby?” Question after question were shot at Eisuke and you. You were surprise you even managed to get in the elevator without getting injured. Suspicious of what Eisuke had said about François got you even more nervous as you both walked to your room. At that movement Eisuke was thinking of ways to keep his cool although he had a war in his mind. He was thinking, “How could she be doing this to me. How can I be not enough for her. I give her everything she wants. I want to make her mine tonight and show her who she belongs to, but I know she is starting to suspect that I know, and I can’t let her see that. I love her enough to stop myself from doing any harm to her, but she is being so stupid for thinking I wouldn’t notice. She should of known by now that I always know everything. Oh well, I might give her another chance to tell me the truth, before I teach her a lesson. It was partially my fault, partially, lets keep that in mind Eisuke, just partially.”
“I hope you take what I said earlier as a serious matter ______. Now..” he stepped closer to you and placed a hand on your left shoulder, “That doesn’t mean you wont go out.” He placed a kiss on your forehead. “Go to sleep, I’ll be back later tonight.” He closed the door, and you thought,
“This can be my chance to scape, I seriously feel that at any movement something can explode.” However just as you finish your thought sentence the door nob turned and the door was opened.
“Get me my phone, yes the one on the desk.” He demanded. You ran towards his desk and back to him.
“Here” you said handing him his phone.
“I love you, you know.” He said as he turned around with his blushing face and walked out the door. “Why does he do that” you thought, “he makes it so difficult to decide. François also makes it difficult, dammit, why me world why me.” You did as you were told, and went to sleep. It had been a very emotionally exhausting day.
Like the usual, Eisuke was not there when you woke up. His place in the bed was not even touched. It was exactly like it was before. Not trying to think the worst, you started to get ready. Once you were done you called Eisuke, you just needed to know where he had been.
“Did..you didn’t come last night.”
“Should I have? Last time I checked I made the rules of the game.”
“Well you should of told me at least”
“Not until you tell me what you did yesterday” he snapped.
“…..are you kidding me? Again?”
“Damn it! _____! Who do you think I’m exactly” he barked. He waited for your repose but you felt silent. Seeing that you wouldn’t talk he continue, “I hope you realize you made the front page. Yes that is fucking right, you better be prepare ______ for what is coming your way, because the engagement wont be dropped and YOU will have to fix this. I’m tire of fixing your errors.” You didn’t know, but Eisuke had made a trap and you had fallen right into it. As soon as he had heard of what it was going to printed that day in the LA FEMME ACTUELLE magazine, he made plans to take this to his advantage. Jealousy had blinded him, he could of stop the publishers but he didn’t make the effort to. He no longer care about his reputation, all he wanted was for you to realize your error.
“Wha-What are you taking abou-” but he had hung up the phone. 15 minutes later Aimeé came in with a magazine, by the look she had you knew this was from bad news. “Mr. Ichinomiya order me to hand this to you personally.” It was a magazine, on the top right conner there was a picture of you and François hugging near his neighborhood.
“What!” you gasp in disbelief. You must of have been really socked since you did not realize when Aimeé left. “Is this what Eisuke was storming about?” you then felt a buzz, it was a call from François.
“________ they got us this time! Has Eisuke-”
“I need to get out of here François.” You knew that after this event you were not going to be the safe princess of Eisuke anymore. You knew that you could be put in danger.
“I will come get you tonight, he is in a meeting then, don’t pack act normal. I will pick you up at 8pm Ok ______.” He said and then hung up.
The clock’s hands intercede into one marking that it was 8 o’clock. François hadn’t called. “When is he going to call me.” You heard a knock on the door. You opened the door to a panting François, gasping for air.
“Lets go, now we have no time to waste” He grabbed you by the hand pulling you to wards the hallway and closing the door with the other hand. You guys speed walk towards the elevator. Both of you walked in the elevator and Ota, who was just coming out of it saw you.
“_____-” Ota called your named, but was cut off by the closing doors of the elevator.
“Shit we have to get out of here!” you said, “he is going to call him! I just know he is.”
The elevator seemed to take a century to get down to the lobby.
“No… we are going to go the other exit, the less crowded one.” François said taking a sharp turn towards the far end of the hotel. The fresh air felt refreshing as both of you rushed outside holding hands. You felt like you could grasp freedom with your fingers, just then however,
“________!” You heard Eisuke yelled out your name. It was obvious at that point that you could not run away anymore from Eisuke. François looked at you, giving you an encouraging look and turned around to face him.
