BXBX NOVEL Chapter 67 - 67: Acting & Brazen
Takeshiba Aika:" Wait, Eric, if you aren't the one blackmailing me, then can you please help me?"
At this moment she seemed to have forgotten all her pride as Takeshiba's little princess and was pleading for help from the person she considered trash.
Hearing those words so soon, stunned even Erik who thought that she would just stick to her stubborn attitude until the last day.
This was too surprising for him, but he recollected himself and turned around while concentrating on the only thing that always told the truth, her heartbeat.
Looking at her right in the eyes, he said with a surprised and confused voice,
Eric:" Huh? Why should I!? After all, I am just poor trash that should stay far away from you, lest it contaminates you, no?"
Hearing that Takeshiba Aika had a frozen look on her face for a moment, it was true, she had said those words to him at the moment, but right now she really needed his help.
Not to mention that after that news that spread in the newspapers a few days ago, her father had punished her, and even reduced her monthly allowance.
There didn't seem to be any possible way for her to be able to secure that sum of money the guy blackmailing her was asking if Eric didn't help her.
So she had no other choice but to swallow her pride and plead forgiveness for the first time in her life while thinking that she would just make him pay later.
That's right, whatever she was about to say, and the act was clearly fake, it was only because she was in such a situation that she had to plead for help.
As soon as she passed this troublesome situation she was mingled with, she was going to make him regret whatever he did to her, even this act of hers.
On the outside, though she seemed to have a genuine look of feeling bad, as she said with a low and regretful voice,
Takeshiba Aika:" Please Eric, forget about everything that I said that day, and help me. I have nobody else but you!"
At the end of her words, she even seemed to be underlying some meaning. Her eyes were close to crying. She had a hurt and sorry look on her face that would make any man believe it's true.
Too bad that her heart was betraying all her acting skills. This just made Eric snicker inside, this woman seemed to never learn.
However Eric's acting skills weren't worse than hers, as he looked really troubled, and as if it was in an internal fight with his logic.
Then with a long sigh, he said with a defeated voice,
Eric:" Sigh~! Fine, tell me how can I help you?"
Hearing those words, Takeshiba Aika's mood brightened all of a sudden and she showed a dazzling smile on her face, as she suddenly hugged him and said,
Takeshiba Aika:" Thank you, Eric, you are my knight in shining armor!"
Eric was caught unprepared by her hug, but this didn't mean he didn't like it, especially when her small soft pillows crashed on his chest.
And before he could come out of his faked stupor and hug her back, she released him, as she said,
Takeshiba Aika:" I am sorry, I was too happy, and went a bit too far."
Eric seemed like he had lost his safe heaven as he said with a clearly sad and lost voice,
Eric:" So tell me, how can I help you?"
Takeshiba Aika:" I need money!" said immediately Takeshiba Aika, as if afraid that he would take his words back.
Expecting such a request Eric immediately continued,
Eric:" How much?"
At this moment Takeshiba Aika seemed to be a bit in deep thought, as she said with an insecure and stammering voice,
Takeshiba Aika:" 5!"
Eric seemed to not understand, or hear her well, as he said with a confused voice,
Eric:" 5.000, or 50.000$!"
As if releasing all her worries and problems in one breath, Takeshiba Aika said with a defeated voice,
Takeshiba Aika:" 500.000$!"
Hearing that sum Eric was flabbergasted, the fook was she trying to do and say right now? Not only was she trying to benefit from his benevolence, but she was doing it so damn brazenly.
For a moment he seemed to be out of breath, and out of this world. He was stunned by the figure he just heard.
It seemed like he still had underestimated this girl's shamelessness and dark character. It seemed like he had to deal with her in a proper way.
His face though showed none of his inner thoughts, as he still seemed like he was stunned by that sum of money.
Playing the victim once again, Takeshiba Aika said in a worried and lost voice,
Takeshiba Aika:" It's too much isn't it?"
As if being awakened from her words Erik said with a voice that seemed to give her hope,
Eric:" Well it is a really huge sum, but don't worry I will find the money, I swear!"
He was looking towards her with a gentle look like he would destroy the whole world to help and protect her.
Seeing this Takeshiba Aika seemed to be touched on the outside but inside she had a weird mix of the desire to grin and vomit.
Then as if reminded of something, Eric said in a fearful and strange voice,
Eric:" But what if you treat me the same way after I help you? I can't support that, I love you Aika!"
His words took Takeshiba Aika unprepared, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Why the hell did he have to remember this thing right now?
But deciding to play the game for the sake of money, she had a surprised look on her face, and then a happy one mixed with a bit of pain, as she said,
Takeshiba Aika:" I love you too Eric, is just that my family will never accept our relationship. That was why I was trying to keep you away from me, to protect you!"
Even she herself couldn't believe how she could think of such words at the moment, but those words seemed to work, and dispel Eric's doubts.
As he approached her closely, looking her directly in the eyes, and their lips brushed against one another, to end with a kiss.
This was Takeshiba Aika's first kiss lip to lip, but when she was seeing in those deep eyes a moment ago, she didn't seem able to move at all.
Feeling her lips brush with Eric's lips, her thoughts were thrown in disarray, and she was lost for a moment. Then recomposing herself, she pushed him and shouted,
Takeshiba Aika:" What do you think you are doing?"
Seeing her act like that, Eric seemed to be confused and said,
Eric:" But you said you loved me!"
Caught in her own trap, Takeshiba Aika didn't know how to act at first and then said with a wronged expression,
Takeshiba Aika:" Does that mean that you have the right to take advantage of me?"
She seemed to be rightfully angry at him, while Eric's thoughts seemed to be thrown in disarray. Turning around where he was, he continued to walk without turning his head back.
Seeing him leave like that, Takeshiba Aika started to feel regret for the way she acted, if he was truly angered by her conduct and didn't give her the money, she would lose such a great opportunity.
It was at that time that she was remembered something and she suddenly understood that she had another way to take that money.
Taking out her Smartphone that was beside her, she immediately started writing a simple text, and sent it, waiting for a response from the other side.
And after that she finally called an ambulance for the trash guards that were knocked out on the ground, she was truly pissed at their uselessness.
Even trash like Eric had been able to knock them out, and give them a good beating. Of course, she was furious, that trash had taken her first kiss.
On the other hand, far away from her, Eric was still walking calmly, and carefree as if all that happened was just a beautiful acting part.
It wasn't like he lost anything until now, while it was a bit regretful that he didn't get to enjoy her blueberry lips a bit more, and as he wanted, he still got a big relief.
All this time he still felt a bit bad about his plan on how to deal with her, but after what happened that burden seemed to have disappeared.
Takeshiba Aika deserved everything he had in mind for her to do, and even more than that. He didn't have to hold back in the least.
That b*tch thought that she could not only benefit from his fake benevolence and weak heart, but she was also doing it in such an outrageous way.
She needed to be taught a good lesson that her parents failed to do, and he was the right person to do it. He couldn't wait for that time to come.
With these thoughts in mind, Eric slowly arrived at Akira's apartment. The situation inside seemed like usual, Tina was watching TV, while Akira seemed to be in her room.
This morning he had forgotten to leave some potion bottles to her so that her body impurities were cleaned and she started training.
But since he had some free time right now he could do that while he personally watched over her, and what actually happened during that time.
Akira was lying on the bed, thinking deeply, and she didn't seem to even sense Eric's arrival, who was looking at her beautiful face deep in thoughts.
It was then, that he took her in his arms, startling her, and took her towards the bathroom without saying anything, as pleasure moans started to be heard all through the house.
Hearing those moans, Tina's secret garden was flooding, but she wouldn't accept it and go there herself, whenever she did it with Eric, was only because he forced her too.
This was what she was saying to herself right now. Eric didn't care what she thought in the least, he had a nice time with Akira in the shower, and now was watching her sleep.
Then taking his Smartphone he changed the SIM card, and decided to play a bit more with Takeshiba Aika, but seeing and the message he got, he started to show a devilish calm grin…
