"Sir, I think it's better if we follow them, they seem to have found evidence."
"This is not good! At this rate, Y/N is going to be taken away from me!"
Mark bangs his fist on the wall making Y/n flinch behind the wooden furniture while she held tightly onto Pouf.
"Tell the others we're following Kai's men, I will not let him get away this time! Go!"
He shouts while the big muscular men quickly dash offs without a sound.
Mark slowly approaches the drawers that were closely shut and takes out a file, he then glances around before making his way out.
Y/N POV
I hold my breath to the best of my ability and peek at Pouf making sure he doesn't make any noise.
Thanks to Pouf I was somehow able to quickly fix the mess I created and camouflaged myself to the corner of the room, where the big ash green locker kept me hidden alongside Pouf.
I start getting cramps as I waited for Mark to leave the room, painful as it was I couldn't move an inch because the slightest of the noise could alert Mark that there was someone other than him in the room.
I hear him fumble between the papers praying that he doesn't notice the order in which everything was, after all, I couldn't have put them in the exact place right after mixing it up.
CLICK
I hear the door being opened. Is he finally leaving?
I felt cold sweat dripping down my forehead when the noise stopped, why is he not leaving?
"Sir everything is ready!"
The voice of the men from earlier could be heard from the distance as the sound of the door closing came right after.
"Pouf we're following after them."
I Lift Pouf, positioning him on the ground as I carefully walked to the front.
OUTSIDE THE MANSION
"Where are they now?"
"They're near the cliff where Mrs Y/N mother died."
"Hurry up then we can't let them find this place!"
"Y...yes, sir!"
INSIDE THE MANSION
I quickly wear my shoes as I wait for them to leave.
"Pouf follow Mark's scent."
TIME SKIP-15 MINUTES LATER
"Hey there Jay didn't expect to see you here with Kai."
"Mark! Where's Y/N?!"
"Hmm? I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Don't play dumb Mark! I know about your past with Y/N!"
"I have no idea what you're saying Jay and you're trespassing my property so I advise you to leave!"
"You still going to act nonchalant! I wanna see you keep that stupid face of yours in place when I tell everyone in here of your real personality!"
"Leave Jay, I have no business with you!"
"You're a damned psycho! You grew up with Y/N but because she left this place after her mom died you started showing you're true colours. You followed her every move and struck for the perfect opportunity to butt in her life and act like you're her saviour! But then you kept her caged for years from her friends and family! You think you're doing her a favour! Do you..."
"Shut up Jay! I had enough of you! This is the last time I'm telling you to leave, next time I will make sure you will never be able to leave!"
"You're threatening tone won't save you this time Mark, I already accomplished what I wanted. Y/N you can come out, I know you've been hiding behind the jip for a while now."
"Y/...N!"
I stagger as I felt my numb body somehow moving towards them.
"M...Mark. Was that true?"
Of course, it was true! After everything I saw on the file how can I still act like it's just me being too aware...I know it's all true even without him saying anything.
"Mark I asked you something!"
"Y/N...I... I also have something to say, I know I have no right to talk to you but please listen to me just once."
I look back at the men next to Jay, my memory is still very hazy, I just recall some things that happened in the past and none of them were good memories with Kai.
"If you're going to say sorry then don't bother, I will never forgive you and I don't even want to see you right now."
"Y/N listen to..."
"No Kai you listen, after all these years don't act like you love me or that you suddenly realized you had feelings for me after I left. That's not how it works! You don't love me, understand! You just felt guilty about how you treated me after I left... it's not loving, stop lying to yourself for fuck sake!"
I try to keep my face from frowning, I can't cry now! I can't show them an opening again! Not now not ever!
"Mark, this is the last time I'm asking you, tell me truthfully why you did this...please!"
I wonder why I'm asking this silly question again even though I already know the truth...maybe deep down I still wished he will tell me that's a lie and everything will back to normal...
"Y/N I'm...sorry. Please believe me I cared for you since you were born I always stayed with you! We were always together and even promised to spend the rest of our life like so yet...one day your mom had an accident in this place when our family was out and due to the shock you forgot about me, this place, Pouf and everything related to us. That's why your dad decided to move far away and hence we never met after that! You don't know how much I looked for you everywhere, every second I could only think of you and finally the day when you got married to Kai one of my men found your whereabouts..."
"And then you decided to play the hero and come to my rescue...just suddenly infiltrating my life. You could have told me everything and maybe we could have worked something together but no, you just came and made it even worse! Does my life seem like a game to everyone! How come every time I start feeling attached to something it turns out to be fake! Why!"
"Y/N! It's not fake! I truly love you! I always loved you since the day I saw you and even now, please believe me Y/..."
"That's enough Mark you don't have to try so hard. I understand and thank you for trying so hard for me but it seems you still don't get it. You don't love me either, what you feel for me is an obsession! You don't see me as a human but as your property."
"No I..." (Mark)
"Y/n..." (Kai)
"Please stop! I beg both of you just stop! I had enough of this I can't bear living in shackles all my life! I'm not strong enough to forgive you for all you have done and continue on with my life! I can't anymore I want to forget everything for real this time so please listen to my last request. Let me be free."
"Y/N listen to me, don't do anything reckless we can talk okay..."
"Jay please...it's my last wish...so please just..."
"Y/N no! Listen!"
I could see Mark's panicked face trying to run towards me as Jay grabbed onto him from behind, crying with his red face while looking at me. Kai on the other hand just remained in his place looking down with his eyes shut tightly.
I walk to the edge of the cliff and face them while wondering if mom also fell from here.
"Thanks, Jay at least you never let me down..."
I say before leaning back.
The wind feels so strong against my body yet I'm not cold. My mind feels so calm as I watch the sky going farther and farther away from me...
...I can finally see you mom.
THE END
