By the time Zaki and Hinari stepped out of the bathroom, they were both surprised by the presence of a certain man waiting for them, sitting like a boss that he was, his gaze piercing through the open window.
"Sei…" Zaki called out and the man turned to them. He glanced at Hinari and looked at Zaki again as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Are you two ready?" he asked and Zaki blinked before rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. Well, it looked like he had completely forgotten about their plan because of their steamy sessions.
"Err… I… I haven't told her yet." Zaki replied and Sei's brows creased before he sighed.
"Mr. Zuzuki is waiting in the other room. I already spoke with him. I'm going back to country C now." Sei said as he stood up and Zaki quickly followed him.
"O-okay… leave the rest to me, big bro." Zaki stated as he went and opened the door for him, like a gentleman. Sei then looked at Zaki, patted his shoulder before turning towards Hinari.
"Hinari, I'll leave him to you. Make sure to watch him." He said and Hinari nodded like a rattle.
"Yes. Please don't worry. I will." She replied and Sei looked satisfied.
"Good, settle everything here and come home as soon as possible, Zaki."
"Yes, yes. Go already."
…
As soon as Sei left, Zaki immediately explained everything that he, with the help of Sei's influence, did. Hinari watched the news and even she was stunned. These brothers were indeed monsters. How could they manipulate things so easily like that?! And where and how did they get all that evidence in a short amount of time?
But Hinari was quite satisfied. She could imagine her father, who loved his position and status more than anything and anyone else, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was indeed the kind of punishment he deserved. He must realize that his possessions would not be able to save him; his money, his fame and every material thing he possessed and acquired in his lifetime were not permanent and would easily disappear in a blink of an eye.
As for her stepmother and sister, when Hinari watched the footage of the duo kneeling before her father, begging him not to believe the accusations, while her father just heartlessly left them like they were strangers to him, another forced smile carved on her face. What Zaki did was indeed the best revenge she could ask for, she never wanted them dead. She wanted them to reap the fruits of what they sowed. They finally experienced how it felt to be abandoned and most of all, they finally realized that karma is the bitchiest of all bitches.
After seeing all this, Hinari suddenly embraced Zaki from behind as she whispered in his ear. "You are indeed my beauty… what you did is exactly what I wanted to happen." She said and she nibbled his ear.
"My prince, stop seducing me, or else, I will really not hold back and pin you down, right now."
"Hmm? My princess knight, did you forget that I pleasured you just minutes ago?"
"It's still not enough. And I badly want to return the favor. But we still need to go and meet your grandpa."
"Sigh… my beauty… you're becoming a real pervert now."
"Mm. It's all because of you. I will never get enough of you."
"Well, me too… don't worry my love, when we get home, I have a 'naughty' surprise for you."
"Mm. I look forward to it."
That day, after speaking with old man Zuzuki, the Zuzuki Corporation held an emergency conference. The chairman appeared with Zaki and Hinari.
Old man Zuzuki announced that the Zuzuki Corporation was now under Red Empire, punishing his own son to the extreme for his selfishness and foolishness. The news shook the nation once again but the most shocking news that blasted like a bang, was the announcement of Zuzuki's heir and The Red Empire's president's upcoming marriage.
The media also revealed that the future wife of the controversial new president was actually the same Hinari, who was a famous, renowned author.
And thus, just like that, the gorgeous couple became the talk of the nation, while a certain duo who looked like they had just stepped out of a zombie apocalypse, could only watch the TV in a daze, with eyes like of a dead fish.
