At this moment Jake's sharp eyes looked at Kaori from head to toe. Jake did not expect to meet Kaori with Kaori's appearance which looked dirty and shabby. The guards almost kicked Kaori out of the building.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kaori asked disapprovingly,
"I'm just not sure about your appearance Kao, you are like a beggar. Have you spent all of your father's property?" Jake pouted as he sipped his favorite cup of jasmine tea,
"Shut up your mouth. If I didn't need your help, I wouldn't have come to you"
"Oh! I see. So what can I do for you?"
"Destroy my father's company"
"What? You are not kidding me, right?"
"I'll tell you later. I just need you to destroy my father's company, put them in huge debt and go bankrupt."
"Then what about your other assets? You're not afraid they'll all be lost?"
"No. I've contacted my late father's lawyer. All assets in my name have been frozen. Only my father's company is still not in my name."
"Then what do I get from my hard work?"
"What do you want?"
"You"
"You mean?"
"I need someone who is purely a descendant of the Nakamura family. I don't need to explain my purpose"
"I see. I don't care about your goals"
"Fine. You will get what you want"
"Thank you. I appreciate your help"
"I'm not helping you. We're doing a mutually beneficial transaction," said Jake, who was now holding out his hand.
Kaori smiled. She returned Jake's hand. Kaori didn't know whether her choice was the right one. But for now, Kaori just wanted to make sure she was alive.
"I hope you clean up soon and change your clothes properly. I don't want my room to be polluted with dirt"
"F*ck!"
"Watch your words, beautiful lady, now you are mine. Be polite to your master" said Jake with a sly smile etched on his face.
"I know. Mr. Ryoichi Nakamura"
Kaori's words made Jake smile and left Kaori alone in his room. Kaori immediately went into the bathroom which was not far from where she was negotiating with Jake. Kaori decided to soak in the bathtub. Relieve fatigue in life. Kaori tried to close her eyes as if being hit by magic from the aromatherapy candle, Kaori was sleeping soundly.

"KAORI!!!!!" Jake shouted, calling his name over and over. Unfortunately, Kaori was reluctant to open her eyes. Kaori chose to stay inside her world.
"FUCK! Wake up Kaori!" Jake cursed who was now touching Kaori's body in the bathtub. Kaori who felt a touch on her skin immediately opened her eyes.
"Ah!!!!" Kaori shouted, causing Jake to stop his actions and immediately turn around, "What are you doing Jake? You idiot!" Kaori said while taking the towel that was on the right side of the bathtub where Kaori was soaking.
"Don't blame me, Kao, I've called your name many times"
"I was just asleep. You should be able to feel my breath, Jake" protested Kaori who was now wearing a white towel.
"I panicked. I thought you decided to kill yourself"
"I'm not that stupid. You bastard!"
Jake who couldn't stand Kaori's cursed words immediately turned around and glared at Kaori.
"I can't stand your mouth. Can you be more polite to your master?"
"I'm sorry. I'm just not used to a perverted guy"
"Excuse me? Who's the pervert you mean?"
"Of course you are. Are there any grown men besides you in this room?"
"Wow! I didn't know you would be this great. I was stuck with your innocent face. I thought you were a woman with a soft heart"
"The soft-hearted Kaori is dead"
"Then Kaori who is in front of me right now is a ghost?" Jake said teasing Kaori,
"I want to kill you" Kaori growled,
"If you kill me, then your goal won't come true"
"You're right"
"I'm always right Kaori," said Jake "You forgot one important thing today" added Jake making Kaori wrinkle her forehead,
"You mean?"
"I AM YOUR SAVIOR"
"I know, don't you remind me about it"
"You are mine, Kaori"
"GOOD JAKE, I KNOW!!"
"Good. I'm glad to hear that you've become a self-conscious person. Get out of the bathroom right away, and put on the clothes I prepared for you. Don't make me wait too long. I don't like waiting."
"Hmm. I know" Kaori replied as she walked towards the bathroom door and opened the door for Jake,
"Thank you," Jake said with a triumphant smile.
After hearing Jake's words, Kaori slammed the bathroom door as hard as she could.

Kaori and Jake sat opposite each other inside a fancy restaurant. Jake pampered Kaori with the luxury he had.
"Did you like the food I ordered?"
"Yes. Thank you" Kaori replied without looking at Jake.
To be honest, Kaori was still embarrassed by the incident that happened inside the bathroom. Kaori wanted to drown herself in the sea, but her bad intentions were forgotten. Because Kaori had other goals that were more important than just the shame Kaori felt. Kaori and Jake enjoyed their dinner quietly. Jake helped Kaori cut the steak on her plate. Basic karma is done by couples in general.
"I saw your name in the news of a single accident that happened this afternoon. Do you intend to explain that to me?"
Kaori was silent. She did not continue to enjoy her food. Kaori's eyes locked on Jake's gaze which felt like it was skinning her body.
"I know, sooner or later you will hear the news"
"I think Aunt Selina and Lara were so sad that they published your death on television"
"I think so"
"I'll put our plan into action tomorrow morning. I hope, before lunchtime, you've told me what happened"
"I know"
"I don't want any secrets between the two of us. I will protect you, Kaori"
"Thank you"
Kaori lowered her head. She wanted to cry, but the tears had run out. What Kaori wanted now was to avenge her family against the people who had destroyed Kaori's family. Since Kaori was sure, Selina and Lara wouldn't have gone this far, if they didn't have a solid foundation.
