Ahio stared as if Darius was an idiot. "Five."
It was true, Darius' fingers in front of Ahio's face amounted to what Ahio is answer.
"Hehehe. Thank you for holding on. You're strong."
"Usually I like be praise, when it comes from you it feels like poison."
Ahio looked at the window, the beam of light peeking through merged to form a perpendicular beam.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Full day."
Ahio turned to look at Darius' bandaged arm. "Is your arm okay?"
"A little. It's, not so bad."
"I'm surprised you don't have any scars." Ahio commented briefly.
"I performed a minor operation. This small portion of flesh and muscle is not mine."
Seriously, for now, Ahio refuses to think. Dismisses all the recapitulation of Darius's way of doing dirty things.
Ahio stared flatly. "Whatever. Please take my cell phone."
Darius complied. "Tsk, for a moment you throw yourself into the circle of conglomerate people, there are already lots of dirty rats and rodents waiting to make holes in your body, they are act as if going to have a big party."
Ahio stared at her cellphone cell phone's many notifications.
"Bullshit. I've never received as many notifications as I do now. This is the miracle of Ahio Isme's life..."
Ahio was silent for a moment. "Ahio Isme Hanserheart."
Ahio's doubts were covered by the impression being clumsy, only be considering by Darius to be a means of entertainment. He wasn't angry or annoyed.
"Fathur will visit here."
"You hacked my phone? You replied to all their messages?"
"What do you expect? It's my right to stop the wild disturbances that are targeting my mate."
Ahio nodded, Darius' emotions were always a big question mark that was difficult for anyone's nervous system to digest. Sometimes he was confused, sometimes he was bipolar, and sometimes he had many personalities.
'I don't want him to explode. Just keep quiet and quench that high ego's thirst, Ahio.'

"It was a limited opportunity for me to meet you, Ahio. But here I am, under Darius' supervision. I am thankful."
Fathur roared with laughter, reminding Ahio of a gift-giving Santacluse riding a flying reindeer.
'Saint Fathur's large sack contained a corpse. Ridiculous, in fact, he is not a rude person.'
There is a way of looking at Ahio's playful sneer at Fathur, remembering the before glow-up form of Darius' adopted brother is the main reason Ahio is still playing around.
'He may hold a grudge but I can't stop teasing.'
"Be Eat."
Fathur pushed a beautiful chocolate parcel.
Ahio saw a beautiful flower pot blooming full of thorns, once felt the pain of being scratched roughly, causing the blood to come out. There, there are surveillance cameras.
Not just one but three scattered in secret places.
Ahio's smile was as soft as velvet, at the same time, containing poisonous snake venom. A row of neat, brilliant white teeth peeked out.
"Who sent this, is my Mom?"
Darius joined, he came in putting down the tray, there were three glasses of orange juice, real fresh fruit perched on the edge of the glass, steamy dew forming droplets of water rolling down following gravity.
The second tray was then delivered by Darius' favorite maid carrying luxurious royal-style desserts.
Ahio smiled meaningfully, Darius tasted the chocolate cake first even though he didn't like to eat sweet food, it was not a match for Ahio who was a maniac idiot.
Darius sat beside Ahio. Reaching out with luxurious chocolate in front of her tiny, half-open mouth, he stuffed Ahio with her favorite food.
Ahio shifted to smile to welcome Darius' other extra service.
'Ever since I realized he always spoiled me.'
Before moving away, Ahio glanced mischievously at licking Darius' fingers in her mouth creating subtle sexual tension full of emotion. A sexual aura radiated all around.
"Ahem."
Ahio turned her head, experimentally chewing the chocolate, enjoying the sweet taste that invaded her tongue, sighed in satisfaction, slowly removed Darius' fingers.
"You're a fucking stamp, Darius."
"Hahaha, then you are a devil, big brother."
"Cough."
Ahio failed, collapsing for, dignity held as high as Mount Everest is completely destroyed.
"Here, clean your mouth."
Ahio glared at Darius's half-joking tone that had a hint of poison. A clean handkerchief was held out right in front of Ahio's eyes.
'He's still the annoying toxic guy.'
"Oh, you look healthier. Shareholders meeting, don't be absent again or I'll kick you." Fathur interrupted.
"Do it, I'm not afraid."
Ahio stomped Darius' foot under the table, fed up with his stubborn attitude of not wanting to be tied to, even the tip of a fingernail, with his family.
"Oh okay."
Fathur radiated burning pheromones mixed with Darius' heavy heat as if they were ready for war.
'Ugh, my nose is getting sensitive. It's funny that I turned into an omega, because, it's too much to be in the middle of Enigma Prime.'
Ahio looked at Darius in annoyance. 'Out of the four people, Darius has the most potential to make me most vulnerable.'
Ahio looked away, stood up straight on two short but sturdy legs. "Excuse me, I need to pee."
***
As the days passed, adequate rest and food managed to increase Ahio's energy and strength levels. Every day she visited the gym, she ended up breathing roughly, salt water flowing down a tight sports t-shirt covering Ahio's slender body from the constant use of a corset.
"Shit!"
Pranghh!
Ahio turned to see a cell phone lying smashed to pieces hitting one of the sports equipment, the sound of heavy sloping made the liquid brain resulting from ear contractions receive nonsensical sound waves.
"You okay?"
"Don't talk to me."
'Damn tsundere, I have to urge this idiot.'
Ahio took a mineral bottle and sat on the edge of a worn chair, traces of steamy sweat everywhere, silent evidence that told how two ambitious people trained themselves to strengthen their bodies.
Tughhh.
A dark threatening aura emanated from Darius's toned body full of muscles from routine training. Honestly, Ahio was jealous.
