*I'd really appreciate if you tell me the truth than I get to hear it from someone else."
~•~
Adria and Min arrived at his place, they entered inside and sat down. Adria was impatient and frustrated, today was just so strange and stressful too so she asked Min "Now can you tell me what you wanted to."
"Yh I will of course but I'll have to warn you no matter what you hear now it would be of importance to control your emotions." Min said still feeling a bit jealous he didn't want to do this, he just wanted to tease that crazy guy a bit but after he saw the importance Adria placed on him he just can't control his tongue right now. They have shared a lot of romantic stuff together and they ain't no way he's letting another person take her from him.
"What do you mean?." Adria was confused as she stared at him blankly.
"Promise." Min used the same word Asachi had used on her.
"No I won't." Adria said.
"Fine fine just control your emotions." Min was upset by her answer but he'll just have to control himself.
"Say it already your making me scared and curious." Adria said.
"Fine it's about your lousy friend what his name again….umm." He tried to recall his name but failed to
"Asachi?." Adria said as she frowned
"Yes that guy." He replied.
"Alright what did he do." She asked.
"Few years ago." *he paused and then resumed with a warning "Adria I don't think is advisable to hang out with that guy."
"What guy." Adria asked curiously right now her head was on a spin making it difficult to understand things.
"Asachi." Min replied.
"Why." She asked.
"I don't know if I should be saying this or if he has told you before but That guy used to be involved in a bad gang, he carried out bad task and even had to kill some people you know he might appear very innocent but he is actually a dangerous guy and to rephrase myself Asachi is involved in a criminal activity." Min said studying every expression on Adria's face.
Adria paused for a minute and then frowned she shook off the doubt and looked up to Min, She asked "What what are you saying?."
"He isn't who he appears to be Adria he has been doing dis-speakable things since his secondary school days, he has hurt alot of people, good people. He committed lots of fraud and even had to go to prison it was broadcasted in the news later the charges were dropped bu-." Min said with distaint but got interrupted.
"That's enough Min what are you say, are you seriously going to stand right in front of me and say all this rubbish to get at him cause you dislike each other?." Adria said in disgust
"I-." Min was immediately interrupted by Adria. "Do you know how much Asachi has done for me, why would you make up such stories." She said as she stared at him with disappointment.
"Adria I know this is hard to take in but it's the truth." Min said as he tried to approached her.
"Leave." Adria said not minding the fact that it was his house.
"Ad-."
"Please leave." Adria stressed the word out of her mouth.
Min stared at her for a while and left the place, he went straight to his control room, he didn't want to do this earlier but he just felt irritated and jealous when she spoke to him on the phone and the way she rushed to get her phone to talk to that asshole when he threw it to the back.
He didn't even know when he pulled her and kissed her, he didn't want to do that but what shocks him the most is he really liked it he stared at Adria from the cctv camera and said maybe he shouldn't have said this he shouldn't have let his jealousy get the best of him, now he has said all this about Asachi, if Asachi eventually tells her the truth he would also be in trouble "shit." he didn't think of that earlier, he just fucked up.
Adria laid on her bed as she tried to process what she just heard Asachi? kill people? Good people? no way he couldn't even hurt a fly that can't be true she strongly doubt, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down she won't conclude till she hears from Asachi.
She felt really uneasy so she stood up and went out of the room, she approached one of Min's guys "Where's Min."
"His-." Before the guard could reply Min spoke.
"I'm here Adria." Min said softly as he walked towards her.
She turned to him and said "I'll like to leave now."
"But it's late Adria." Min said feeling unhappy about her decision.
"I know I'll drive back, so I'll be safe." She assured him.
"Why are you over reacting Adria, I only told you about Asachi so you could be careful that's all no ill intentions." Min said.
"I know, I understand, your concern about me but it was just too much to take in and I need to be alone, I need to clear my head and by the way my sis doesn't even like me staying over at people's place." Adria said.
"What do you mean, where's your sister, call her up I'll talk to her." He insisted.
"Min!." Adria was trying her best not to do or say anything that could make matters worse than it already is.
"Alright fine but I'm joining you." Min has no choice but to give in.
"No." Adria said as she grabbed her car keys.
"Please Adria your making me sad, I'm not the person who disappointed you." Min tried to get the key back from her but she refused.
"I know." Adria said as she picked up her bag and jacket.
"Alright fine lodge in a hotel at least, here is really far from your home."
"Yes I will." Adria said as she left.
Min called his guys and ordered them to ensure her safety in secret.
Adria drove to a close by hotel where she met haru.
"Why are you here?." She asked.
"The shadow guard had something to take care of for your sister, so I was assigned to watch you." Haru said calmly.
"Hmm." she nodded as she went into the hotel, she stood at the balcony of her room, as she kept thinking. She wasn't mad at Asachi, she trust him and he still accepted her when he found out the dangerous life she was involved in but she doesn't know why she just feels hurt.
She turned to Haru. "Get me informations on Asachi and what he has to do with any death at all."
"Yes ma'am." Haru was a bit stunned but suppressed his amusement.
"When you do, keep it to yourself till I ask for it." she said as she was going to give Asachi a chance to come clean with her.
When she was done giving orders and Haru had left she went straight to her bed and laid there staring at the ceiling.

Lee arrived home to his own personal house, the new of his return to Asia has been broadcasted and it was the talk of the town every elite in the society had plans to introduce their daughter to him and as well attend their function.
Lee came to his own house as he needed to be alone, arriving at home he saw his staffs all in a hurry.
"What's going on here." he asked.
"Umm sir miss Lisa just moved in this morning." One of the maiden's said.
Lee stayed silent and walked upstairs to his room, he already expected this from this pest of a woman. He opened the door and entered his room, he took off his tie and toss it on the bed when he heard a knock on the door. He stood there silently as he was already aware of who it was, he unlocked the door and came back to the mirror which he was staring at earlier.
"Hey babe." Lisa said excitedly as she pushed the door open.
"Hey Lisa." he said as he took off his suit.
"I saw the news about you tho , it was all nice." Lisa commented.
"Mhm." He replied.
Lisa frowned at his reply but continued anyways "But what got my attention was the fact they called you a bachelor, when we are together well I don't blame them if only they knew." She said but Lee remained quiet so she continued. "When are you going to make us official babe we have come this far don't you think it's time now."
Lee avoided her question and said "Lisa who asked you to move into my house."
Lisa spouts her lips "What do you mean, lee I've been calling you for day now but you don't reply and you don't return my calls either whenever I come around your not here, what did you expect me to do." She asked.
"Lisa you know how much I prioritize my personal space and now you are all up in my space." He said as he turned to her and took a step forward.
Lisa stepped back in fear so she quickly said "I know but the hotel payments was due." she lied to save herself, she came here cause she has been feeling worried since she saw that news and all the tweets ladies were making of how they would look there best and end up with Lee, so she had to come to him, he has to engage her sooner than later.
"But I gave you my card?." Lee replied, he wasn't no fool he knew Lisa like the palm of his hands.
"Lee! Why are you acting like this, I'm your girlfriend ." Lisa said sadly.
"We signed a contract Lisa,in which you have broken a lot of rules you know and I keep sparing you." Lee said calmly but in a cold manner.
Lisa looked down acting like she was gonna tear up "I know, I know but I care about you a lot that's why I'm doing all this."
Lee didn't want to see her cry so he approached her and held her close to him "That's enough Lisa, You could stay." He said.
"Really?." she said as she cleaned her tears.
"Yes but not for long tho and don't invade my space, don't forget we are on a contract relationship learn to follow the rules now leave." He said as turned back to his mirror as a sign of he was done talking.
"Ok." she said as she went to her room, she sat on her bed and smirked "Your gonna marry me lee, I will be the last woman in your life no matter what it takes."
she said to herself.
She felt triumphant that her tears still affected him. Let's see how long he could resist her.
