Tears started to falling from her eyes as if the whole world has betrayed her. She looked at me as if she couldn't believe my words. She looked at me as if I am a lier.
"Why? Why are you telling me such a obvious lie? Why are you destroying my life? What did I do to you?" she asked me with eyes full of tears.
"I am telling you that because I couldn't leave you alone. Every person around you has threw you away. But only I couldn't. I thought at first that I should threw you away too. But I couldn't bring myself to abandon you. No matter what you did to me. I loved you after all. That time I was alone, now I have got everything, a happy family, a beautiful person whom I love but I still couldn't see you suffering." I said emotionally.
She was crying silently.
"You might be thinking that I am telling lies. Your family will never sell you. But they did. That's the truth. If you want the see the proves I will provide it to you. Rei-nee, are you there?" I called Rei-nee to the room. Actually, she was watching the whole thing in a room beside it. There is a hidden camera in this room.
"I am coming in." saying that Rei-nee entered the room.
Yukino was still sitting on the floor. Rei-nee passed her and come in front of me. After that, she looked at Yukino and said,
"What happened? Why is she still sitting on there? Why didn't you just put the slave collar in her neck?" Rei-nee asked me with an angry face.
"No. Rei-nee, I was just telling her everything." I answered Rei-nee.
"What do want to talk with her? Do you have any idea how much she costs? I have to waste the money just to buy her. What's so good about her that you want to save her so much? You can just let her see the truth by her own eyes. I have been listening everything. That girl is just blaming you. She has to realize that she doesn't have any rights to talk." Rei-nee said with a angry voice.
Yukino started to get scared of her. She does know who Rei-nee is. If Rei-nee decided to abandon her, she would have to die from hunger.
"Hey, girl. What's were your name again? Oh, Yukino. Do you think he called you here with a beautiful car just to listen your complain? I told him that we should bring you here by wearing the slave collar in front of everyone. But he begged me saying, he doesn't want to see you in pain and here you are blaming him for your bad luck. Listen if you have any more complain just ask your dad about it. Not him. If it wasn't for him buying you, you would have been viral at this moment. Your secret lover make the video and gifted a copy of it to every tv studio. You should be thankful to him. If he hadn't begged me to save you, your videos would have been published at the moment." Rei-nee told her that with a heavy tone.
Well, there are some lies mixed in it. Rishab never took any kind of video about her. It was Rei-nee, who somehow get this secret video. It seems most of the hotel has one or two secret camera.
Rei-nee was trying to be harsh on her. She was just acting, so that Yukino think that I really begged Rei-nee to save her. But that never really happened in real life.
Rei-nee threw a phone to her and said,
"Now, call you father and ask what really happened. I don't want to hear your crap. Just took the phone." Rei-nee told her.
Yukino was trying to took the phone. But for some reason, her hands were shaking like crazy.
"Hurry up. I don't have all the time." Rei-nee shouted.
She hurriedly took the phone and dialed her father's number.
*Peropero *Peropero
*Gacha
"H-hello, Papa." Yukino called her father.
"Yukino it's you. Why did you called me? I think our relationship has already ended." Her father said.
Tears began to fall from her eyes. She has already cried a lot today.
"Papa, I am sorry. I beg you. I only have you guys. Please don't abandon me." She said while crying.
"After what you have done I had no other way but to abandon you for the sake of my family. If I hadn't sold you to them, all the media would have destroyed our family. It was thanks to Silverstorm-sama's kindness and influences that I was able to save the family. But if I had you in our family after that, I would cause problems with our reputation. I don't want to risk that. So, I thought selling you would be the right choice. I know at this age slavery would sounds crazy. But believe me, if I hadn't sold you to them, only low class prostitution would have brought you and that would have been bad for you. Your naked body will be sell to every person, be it good or bad. You would become just like a hole to bury nasty things. I know it's inappropriate for a father to say these things to his daughter. But believe me, you are not a daughter anymore." saying that her father cut the line.
She looked like she has lost the will to live. It was really bad for her heart. Just one hours ago, she was living her life to the fullest. But now she has betrayed by everything. I can see his helpless face now. It's as if our position swapped from that day. I was exactly opposite position that day.
So, that's how Yukino feels when she saw me. Not a bad feeling, I guess.
"So, now girl. You have heard him right? You have been sold by your family. That means you are a slave from now on. You can't live a life of a slave with this attitude. Now, wear the collar." saying that Rei-nee threw the collar toward her.
Yukino didn't touched it.
"What happened now wear it, otherwise we will kill you and sell your body parts to the organ selling corporation. I don't want an unobedient slave." Rei-nee shouted.
"I am sorry. I am just.... I don't know what to do now.... Please, let me make up my mind." she said while crying.
I went toward her and placed my hand on her shoulder and said,
"Yukino, look me in the eyes."
She slowly looked at me.
"You see, I have suffered much more painful things. You just crying because you were betrayed by everyone. You are thinking that you don't have anyone by your side now. You're alone, right?" I asked.
"Umm."
"But you see, I was alone from the moment I was born. Alone in the darkness. When I was in the peak of the darkness, at that time I meet you. You encouraged me. You said that I can do it. So, I tried to change my destiny. I thought I can become more powerful, you will hug me and say that 'good boy, you did great'. But that never happened. You just thought me creepy and I keep thinking that you were just tasting me. Hey Yukino, you never hold my hands. Why? You see, you were the only light for me that time and the moment you kissed him in front of me, that light vanished. I just lost my will to live. So, I have been through a lot worser than you." I said emotionally.
"I know what's it's like to live in a world alone. Without anyone by your side. It much more darker and hopeless than you could ever imagine. That's why, even though you hated me. Even though, you never hold my hand. Even though, you never really cared about me. Even though, you didn't became the light of my life. I will become. I will help you. If no one wants to took your hand, I will. I will definitely make you happy. I will never let you see the true horror. I will be your light. I will save you. After all, I loved you. My way of doing might be a little bit different from others, but I will definitely be in your side. For the rest of my life, I will never let you down." I said romantically.
I gave her support the moment she really need it. Her eyes were finally began to change.
"Seiren." She looked at me with moist eyes.
