Hitman x Wives

Chapter 8- Kaya Bladeheart (Part 2)

A few minutes before the message, Eva, who returned to her house, was laying on the bed looking at the ceiling with a dreamy expression. Her head was completely occupied by what happened a few hours ago.

'Uh, Kai's hand rested on my mouth and he pushed me against the wall~' She thought as her fingers went to touch her rosy lips instinctively.

Then, her face blushed and she started tossing and turning in the bed fighting her own pillow. After a few minutes, she stopped and murmured to herself.

"I can't believe that I finally found Kai. Even though it took a few years, I'm happy that I could finally be by his side again. But, that bitch from Divinity didn't allow for us to spend time together. Unforgivable! I will kill her! No, I will torture her to death! Tsk, wait…" Suddenly, the girl realized something. "Is she in his house now?"

Kai had said that Kaya would be in his room an hour later which coincided with when Eva came back home.

Just the mere image of that woman sitting with Kai, touching him, and even trying to be intimate with him sent a shiver down Eva's spine.

"I will kill her! I will definitely do that!!" She said as she punched her pillow. "That bitch is trying to steal my man and thinks it would be an easy thing! It's a life or death battle, whore!" Saying that, she picked her phone up and looked at Kai's number.

"Should I send him a message? No, he said that it would be troublesome. I don't want to trouble Kai." Murmuring so, Eva was about to close the phone. But, then, for some odd reason, her mind told her something.

'Why not type what you would want to say to Kai directly and then delete it?' Her evil side snickered.

"Uh… It won't hurt. I will just type it and then delete it." Then, with a blushing look, she opened the phone again and typed something in the chat.

'I love you so much, Kai. I want to spend the rest of my life by your side. I want to hug you, feel your warmth, and your strong arms around me. I want you to touch me as much as I want to touch you.' She typed and then she chuckled.

"Fufufufuf! Like hell, I would send th-"

*DING*

Her finger which was supporting the phone slipped to the sending button and tapped it without her noticing.

"...!!!!!" Eva's face paled as she quickly tried to delete the message. But, it was over. The message was sent.

"I screwed up!!" She said as she threw the phone away. "Oh no! How did I make this mistake?! Kai is going to be pissed!"

Even though Eva loves Kai madly, she wasn't crazy enough to get on his bad side which 99% of the time means death.

'Hehehe, don't worry, Eva. You just stopped any potential intimacy between them. That bitch can't do anything now even if she wants to.'

"I see… That's true. Besides, Kai won't do anything to me. He said that himself." Then, with a smile, Eva sat on her bed. It was time for dinner.

"Hmm, are you going to do something inappropriate, Kai?" Kaya asked with a mischievous smile on her face.

"I doubt it's legal for an underage high schooler to get into an intimate relationship with a functioning adult in society. Am I wrong? You can get punished by the law." The boy replied coldly.

"Hmm, no, that's right. But…" Kaya then pulled Kai's face closer to hers where their lips were barely a few inches away from each other. "Is anyone watching now?"

"..." The two stared at each other silently for a few seconds before Kai sighed and then pulled himself away from her.

"I was simply trying to tease you." He said in a tone that didn't sound humorous in any way.

"Bad luck~ I was anticipating something fun."

"You shouldn't aim for 'fun' with a high schooler. You will end up in jail faster than you could think."

"Don't worry~ I will only accept Kai in my bed," Kaya said flirtily.

The latter shook his head and picked up his phone before he swiftly deleted the message before Kaya could notice. Luckily, Eva didn't send any more messages which was the optimal situation.

"Anyway, should we play some console gam-"

*DING* *DING*

Suddenly, another ringing sound echoed in the room. But, this time, it wasn't from Kai's phone but instead from Kaya's which made the boy squint his eyes slightly.

"Tsk, not now," Kaya murmured to herself with an annoyed expression before she returned to normal as she stood up.

"Or not. Job is calling. Being a nurse is a hassle."

"I can see that," Kai replied in a mysterious tone.

"Well, I should leave now."

After saying that, Kaya walked out of the door before she bid Kai farewell with a warm smile. When the door closed, her face completely changed. From a mischievous, flirty, and seductive to a coldness that could barely be distinguished from that of a bestial predator.

"What?" She said as she picked up the phone. A voice then spoke something on the phone.

"I see. I will be there. Also, I have a request. I want you to hack a certain mobile phone for me. I will give you the information later."

Then, she hung up the phone.

'Tsk, to think that my Kai would be targeted by a pest. Who dares to go after him? And he even tried to hide it from me. Is she perhaps more than just his schoolmate?' Many thoughts rushed to Kaya's mind which made her clench her fist slightly.

*CRACK*

The phone couldn't handle the pressure and started cracking loudly.

"I guess another person is added to the list of people I should eliminate for my future with my darling~"

***

Kai sat down on the bed and then tapped on his phone a few times. A few seconds later, the sound of someone picking up the phone along with a hesitant 'Hello' reached his ear.

"Are you that eager to die?" Kai asked without bothering to acknowledge the greeting.

"H-Huh? What do you mean? I-I don't understand what you're talking about, Kai?" Eva replied with a clear nervous tone.

"I said don't try and mess with an Archangel and yet you did exactly the opposite of that. If you wish to end your own life, I can help you with that. No need for a troublesome conflict with an Archangel."

"I-I'm sorry, Kai. I didn't mean to send it… My finger slipped…" Eva replied with a low tone. She sounded like a small child being scolded by their parents.

Rubbing his temple, Kai replied.

"Sigh, I don't like to repeat my words twice. It's a waste of energy and time. If you want to have a peaceful time living here then listen to me. There are way more dangers lurking in this city than you could think."

"I understand… *Sniff* I'm really sorry…" Sniffling back a tear, Eva replied.

'For one of the best Hitmen in the guild to be this clumsy. Is idiocy that contagious?' Kai thought as he said. "Anyway, I will hang up the phone."

"No, wait!"

"Hm? What?"

"D-Did you read the message that I sent?" Eva asked with an anxious tone.

"No, I deleted it."

"..."

"What did you send?"

"No, it's nothing. Just gibberish. Good night, Kai. I love you."

*Click*

The boy cut off the call without replying and then put the phone away and then rested his head on the pillow.

This day was especially hectic for him. Too many events happened that required him to exert more energy than he usually does.

'Is it really that hard to run away from the past?' He asked himself as he covered his eyes. Pieces of memory from a distant past came rushing back to his head.

None of them were pleasant memories that Kai would want to remember now. The past 5 years were by far the most blissful time he ever had in his 17 years of life.

Anything before that was pure hell. He hated every single moment of those years and would gladly erase them from his memories if he could. Kai was, in a sense, a perfectionist who would only be satisfied with a perfect job in any task he does.

However, he considered the first 12 years of his life to be a huge, unfixable mistake. None of it was redeemable.

"I should sleep." Shaking his head, Kai closed his eyes and in less than a minute, he drifted to the dreamworld.

However, what he didn't know was that it was only the beginning. The wheel of fate was halted for a few years and on that day, it resumed its movement, carrying along with it years of Kai's life that he left behind.
