"Yuto so you're saying my son- he agreed?" Edwards asked a little baffled.
"That's right, he's not only taking my best subordinate from me but also my daughter." Yuto replied nonchalantly as he massages his temples.
Lighting a cigar taking a puff, he crossed his leg over his knee and thought seriously for a moment. "So after the contract has gone its full term then-"
"I'll suggest my daughter divorces your son."
"But.."Edward clenched his hand looking at Yuto nervously with a little frustration. "My son to your daughter-"
"I don't care about your son." He replied bluntly with a sneer. "I've already told you, your son is only acting as a drug helping my daughter to recollect her memories. Your wife will be present to help stabilise my daughters illness."
"Illness?" He swallowed drily, sighing in exasperation. "My son is still in love with your daughter!"
"You should understand well the implications of what that incident would have done to my daughter." He said coldly, his piercing grey eyes bore into him. Making him hold his breath.
"I doubt she even remembers him." He thought aloud, making Edwards eyes widen in realisation.
'She has amnesia?, did she forget? But why did she behave so strangely at the restaurant?'
"I'll reiterate what I want from you, after your men sort out the issue with the russians I want the details behind the supplier." He said simply.
Looking at him perplexed , "Is that all?"
A little smug he said "You'll see how easy it'll be."

At that moment Yuki was at a stalemate with Nico, simply because Alex didn't trust her enough to drive him anywhere. Especially pissing her off the way Nico was eyeing up her baby with sparkling eyes.
It was an all matte black lotus car, that had been specifically modified to her requirements. From the interior to the software and Ai system, which she had recoded personally herself. Although she had expended her friend Louis's contacts- it was still her car.
"Are you really going to fight over a car?" Alex said a little impatiently as he glanced at his watch.
'I've worked more than 9 months on this baby' Yuki lamented.
Promising if Nico so much as farted in her car, she would stab him to death.
Noticing Z's sullen behaviour as he reluctantly passed over the keys, he chuckled softly trying to coax him, "You're just a kid! What are you trying to drive a big mans car when you don't even have a driving licence?"
Buckled in stiffly beside Alex she then explained the basics of the car, explaining to Nico how to drive safely. Withholding the special features that she was in no way in hell going to tell them about, in fear of them trying to steal it from her.
"Hah?"
When she heard this she couldn't help but want to spit blood, as she twitched her mouth irritably. Slouching back on the passenger seat she messed up her hair, slapping her forehead with disdain.
Releasing a little of her lackadaisical personality as she relaxed a little in her seat, she gave a carefree smile. "How old do you think I am?"
Nico who had been fascinated by the car, wanting to see the inner workings looked at the rear- view mirror. "Aren't you 17 or 18? You mustn't have been that young when you started."
Coldly she looked on as they zoomed the empty streets, replying quietly. "I'm 21."
Her expression blank and posture distant, not wanting to talk about it. Listening to the gentle growling of the car in silence, she felt she could still hear the sounds of young girls and men screaming in her ears.
'Why do they keep asking about that?'
"Oh So you're an adult?- We should go out for a drink sometime." Nico said wanting to teach the kid a lesson.
".."
Her small changes were easily picked up by Alex who had been silently observing her, trying to figure out a way to poach him.
'Is he hiding something?... Should I test him?'
Alex had realised that for majority of the journey he'd felt completely comfortable, noticing the quality leather and auto adjusting mood lighting. Stroking a stream of navy blue light on the arm rest, pondering the cost of the car associating it with his mysterious bodyguard.
Eyeing the silk pillow behind his head and the gleam of Yuki's black diamond Rolex, that he could see peaking under her sleeve.
Resting a hand on his face he asked casually, "Whats your relationship with the Nakamuras?"
"Subordinate."
"I don't think so." His blue eyes narrowing as he mused. "Are you an illegitimate child or something?" His perfectly groomed hair tinted a dark blue.
"No." Replying coldly, "Why do you think that?"
"Mmm." With a devious look on his face, "Expensive car, Expensive suit, slick black hair- grey eyes" He said picking up a lock of black hair wanting to play with it.
Clicking her teeth she swatted the hair out of his hand, feeling a little depressed with regret having come to visit her father.
'Your suit is custom- don't even think about it!' Clenching her jaw as she rolled her eyes, thinking there was no way this guy couldn't afford a car like hers.
Glancing at the black diamond ring sitting proudly on one of his veiny hands. She nodded her head, appreciating how easy it would be to insert a cannula* (plastic tube used to insert drugs) on him.

Lithely jumping out of the car she slammed the car door and opened up the passenger seat for Alex, standing to the side. Several steps behind him.
The sounds of gyrating and vibrations of music tingled in Yuki's ears, thankful she slipped in an earpiece. Which blocked out most of the sound in her sensitive ears.
Noticing Nico unbuckling himself, Alex paused with a smirk.
"You stay here!"
"But boss-"
"I'll test him, let's see how he does." Alex said gesturing for Yuki to follow behind him.
Removing her mask slowly, placing it into her blazer pocket as to not arouse suspicion. She casually checked her surroundings,as if she were a normal club goer slightly humming a long to the music.
Leaning an ear out discreetly as Alex led her into the VIP section, where booths of white leather sofas and silk curtains stood. The place encompassed by a tacky, highlighter pink glow.
She leaned against a pillar, lighting a cigarette as Alex spoke to one of his clients "Michael." A middle aged, pot bellied man who was slightly balding. His sausage fingers snaked around the slender waist of a scantily dressed woman, who was sneakily eyeing her up as if assessing how much money she could get out of her.
Since entering there had been several eyes curiously gazing at her, which she had completely ignored enjoying the bitter taste of tobacco. Unbeknownst to her, her handsome face and inky tresses gave her an appeal of a mysterious and seductive demon. As if smelling the scent of blood dripping from her dark clothes, no one dared approach.
Especially with those silver eyes that burned with intensity, that could cause a woman's heart to beat rapidly and a man to question his sexuality. But that was way before she managed to get a word in.
"Alex, how about a drink?" Michael asked confidently, his face looking concerningly greasy.
"Sure. Why not?" Alex said with a smile, tugging on his tie comfortably.
'That guy is up to no good~~~' Yuki hummed to herself with a smile, making the woman a little flustered.
Michaels attempts to dominate in front of his bitch made Yuki smirk, hiding her hooked lips behind a gloved hand. As he ordered two glasses of Hennessy from a waiter nearby, guiding Alex to there table fawningly.
Almost tripping up a waiter holding an ashtray, she grabbed his elbow to stabilise him. Pulling out two fifty dollar bills as she enjoyed the remnants of her cigarette.
Ordering a bottle of Hennessy with two crystal glasses, to be sent over to the same table. Giving a polite smile, making the young waiter blush.
Alex who had seen him chat with the waiter felt a bit confused as to why Z wasn't paying much attention to him. Feeling a little confused, furrowing his brows as he watched her talk with the waiter happily.
Especially when she'd walked far away from him to their table, speechless when she approached the bar front. Where a bunch of rich girls sat, seemingly there to want to chat them up.
Unconsciously taking a look at him from the corner of his eye, as he listened absentmindedly at Michaels ramblings.

From what she knew Alex was meeting up with Michael who was a client, acting as a figure head for an impending drug transfer. What she couldn't understand, unless he knew the guy personally there wouldn't have been a reason for them to meet.
However, the man was undeniably suspicious and Yuki went with what she had. Smiling a little charming, she approached the bar front casually flirting with the women for a purpose. Asking, "if they had any of THAT nail polish", chatting with them for a while and paying for their next round.
One of the women who she was sat next to, a woman with lemony blonde hair curled down a red slinky dress, stared at her dazedly with a pink flush. Pinching her chin she looked at her dilated watery blue eyes with concentration, the woman's heart pounding at the thought of being interested in by such a man.
Sneaking a hand on her wrist as she felt a pulse, the soft leather of her gloves felt the feeling of rubber. Seeing a purple rubber wristband in the way she frowned when she noticed something.
Embossed in the rubber was the outline of a snake and the words Baishe, finding the name familiar.
Her face approached the woman's ear, her hot breath against her nape, making the woman tremble as Yuki whispered softly. "Are you intoxicated?" Making a smoking gesture with her hands.
The woman trailing her hands up her arms fluttering her whispy lashes, "intoxicated by you."
Cringing inwardly as Yuki stood up smiling politely a little distant, she approached her ear again cursing herself mentally before whispering. "I'll only do a woman when she's clear headed."
Disregarding how she'd just made the woman, a rich heiress travelling abroad fall in love with her and feel heartbroken at the same time. But that's for later...
Thinking she had enough time having particularly sensitive ears, as she listened to their conversation from a far. She tried figuring out the importance of the name, thinking about her brief clinical practice in Japan...
'The glass ampules of Propofol were made by Baishe...' Perplexed she raised an eyebrow, silently scouring the room for similar wristbands or people displaying any semblance to what she'd seen.
'A pharmaceutical company?' Swallowing drily at the thought.
Ignoring those thoughts, her throat parched she smiled languidly as she sat down on the opposite sofa ignoring their confused stares. Leaning her hand on the back of the sofa with a leg crossed over the other.
Michaels stubby fingers pointed at Yuki as she gave an innocent smile. Alex warning her, explained with a glare.
"A new recruit." Itching to slap the kid, who'd tilted his head at him feigning innocence.
Smirking she fiddled with her phone for a while, feeling Michaels disguised lecherous gaze. Drafting a text message before locking her phone, his bitch and a couple of friends returning with the drinks.
One of the women, a short haired brunette with short-shorts and a cropped top upon seeing Alex tried to seduce him wanting to sit next to him. However, sensing Alex's cold aura that sent the message that if she really wanted to die she should continue.
Making Yuki unconsciously smile, which Alex upon seeing felt his heart throb. Swallowing a little drily with anxiety.
'Begone thot.' She thought clicking her teeth.
Michaels woman obediently sat by his side as he groped her creamy thighs, some napkins unevenly distributed under the glasses which Yuki observed much to Alex's surprise. His hair not as well kept as it had been.
Watching as he distinguished between the glasses of Amber liquid, Alex saw the piercing look in her eyes making him unconsciously hold his breath. Finding his gaze on par with Mr. Nakamura.
Small beads of sweat dripped from his temples as he steadied his hand about to hand over the drink to Alex casually. Holding the glass tightly as Alex was about to take it...
Yuki replaced her cold look with an indifferent smile, standing in front of Michael she took hold of the glass and tossed it back like it was water. Leaving an unnoticeable amount in the glass.
She wiped her mouth with her hand as she watched their stunned faces. Especially the woman who even stood up and wanted to say something.
Unable to hide her smile, she scratched her head awkwardly, noticing the waiter from the corner of her eye.
"Sorry boss, I was too thirsty." She coughed awkwardly.
"You! How can you drink your Boss's drink?!" He shouted at her. Completely frustrated that his plan went to zilch because of an idiot.
Placing the glass and the bottle of Hennessy on the glass table, the waiter walked off with a slight blush noticing Yuki's smile.
Feeling a small, curved piece of glass pressed on the tip of her tongue she smiled knowingly.
Alex seemed to suspect something was wrong, wondering how could a persons expression change so suddenly. However he didn't say anything but simply gave him a cold look.
"Sorry Boss. How about I pour you another?" Clearly demonstrating to him how the bottle was fully sealed and hadn't been tampered with, so neither of them could say anything.
Twisting the cap of with ease, she elegantly poured him a glass and handed it to him. Alex looking at her with a raised brow, took the glass and took a sip probingly.
The woman pissed off that the plan didn't work out, walked provocatively towards her wanting to distract her in case her actions wasn't just a fluke.
Ignoring her she sat down and placed the almost empty glass next to her, the woman a little frustrated then sat on her lap uninvited as Yuki closed her eyes to conceal her disgust.
Alex who saw this found the whole situation uncomfortable, considering the woman was just being groped by his friend before who now didn't seem to mind. Finding himself disgusted, unknowingly wanting to tear the woman off of her.
Using her body as a cover she snuck the glass on her lap and submerged the nail of her pinky finger, which was coated black in the alcohol. Holding the woman's waist in place with one hand.
Leaning her head on her shoulder as she placed back the glass, her long locks streaming down the front of of her dress. The woman twirling it around her finger appreciating its softness.

"Hey.." Yuki said making the woman's heart skip a beat.
"What did you put in the drink.. Ketamine or GHB?" She asked indifferently, making the woman shiver as if she was covered in a bucket of ice water.
Feeling something digging in the back of her neck, as Alex and Michael continued their pointless chatter unaware of what was happening. Yuki pretended to act like a perverted man,stroking her thigh leisurely with a gloved hand.
"Are you not going to answer me?" she whispered sinisterly. "Can you not guess what's digging in the back of your neck?" Holding the trigger tight enough so she could hear the slight click.
"I'll scream." She replied shakily.
"There's a silencer." Making her flinch in pain, ruthlessly digging the gun further into her neck.
Her eyes bleeding a little red, hiding her face behind her back.
"I want you to tell me loud enough for your sugar daddy to hear-what you put into the drink and who told you to do it." Slightly flicking her ear with the barrel of the gun.

Michael feeling that Alex wasn't suspecting anything sighed with relief, thinking that Yuki was probably passed out unconscious or unable to rationalise what was happening.
Suddenly a loud Ping sound came from Alex's phone, awkwardly setting aside his drink he took out his phone. The potbellied man thinking it was a good chance to have a another go.
He'd received two text messages, one which was sent by Adam and the other by Z who was sat just opposite him.
Adam-They've betrayed us like you thought,they're dealing with the Russians. The drug transfer was compromised!
Z-They tried to drug your drink.
Alex's eyes immediately went black, his aura covered in layers of frost. Making Michael unconsciously shiver as he shifted towards his drink feigning innocence.
Before he could look, he could hear the frightened voice of Michaels woman. Her voice trembling as she forced herself to speak louder.
"It was Michael! He made me do it!" She explained quickly as she begged for her life. "He told me to put two glass vials of Ket in his drink (Ketamine an anaesthetic) in his drink!"
