[Has.h.i.+moto Chisa and Kamiyama Kiyohira are engaged . ]

Her stepfather will take any chance to fix her marriage with Kiyohira, the eldest son of the Kamiyama family . Kiyohira's grandmother seems desperate too .

"Rie hasn't appeared in T city yet . " Miwako hangs up the phone and tells her, "Where did she hide this time?"

"Kiyohira knows where she is . We will find her soon . " Chisa looks at her perfectly manicured nails . "Miwako, if my chosen prey wants to take away my toy and my toy is luring my chosen prey away, how should I punish them both?"

Miwako sits down on the floor and ma.s.sages her feet . "Take away your toy from your chosen prey and give a lesson to your toy for luring your chosen prey without your permission . "

"You are smart . That's why I like you, Miwako . " Chisa tosses her credit card at Miwako .

"Thank you, Chisa . You are too kind . " Miwako's eyes gleam with happiness when she sees the black credit card . If Rie comes back to Chisa, she is sure that Chisa's mood will become better . "When are we taking your toy back?"

"Little one, why do you not believe me?" Dr . Umezaki scowls at her . "He's my student . "

"He looks like an evil man who escaped prison . " Rie is still using Ren as her s.h.i.+eld to block Kiyohira's view . "He is looking at me like he wants to kill me . "

Yuhara Kozue, who is peeking from the door at the woman, glances at Kiyohira . Kiyohira's penetrating gaze is fixed on Rie . Yuhara Kozue flinches and hides behind the door . He agrees with the woman .

"Kiyos.h.i.+, can you stop staring at Rie chan?" Ren asks Kiyohira awkwardly . Even he is getting gooseb.u.mps in his body because of Kiyohira's intense stare .

Kiyohira closes his eyes and leans back . If this makes her comfortable, he will stay like this .

"See, he's not an evil man . An evil man won't close their eyes to make other people comfortable . " Dr . Umezaki grins at her . "Little one, what were you doing before you fainted?"

Rie peers at Kiyohira . He looks better when his eyes are closed . She doesn't let go of Ren's arm . She still doesn't trust that Kiyohira is a good man . Evil people are expert at pretending to be good .

"I was traveling on a train . "

Umezaki blinks at her . "Train? Where were you going?"

"I didn't have any destination . I only wanted to disappear . "

Kiyohira wants to look at her, but he keeps his eyes closed . She told him before that she was going to disappear . Why that wish?

"How you were going to disappear?" Umezaki prods her a bit .

"I don't know . " She sounds sad . "How do I erase my existence? I wanted to die, but I promised Ren that I wouldn't do something like that . So, I decided to find a place where n.o.body knew my name or past . I didn't want to be found . "

It's progress, Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro thinks . She is speaking about her wishes . But, how much she remembers? Not being able to recognize Kiyohira means that she is still afraid . She is extremely scared of someone . That person must be linked to Kamiyama Kiyohira in some way . "Little one, who was the person that wants you back?"

Her breathing becomes erratic . She squeezes her eyes and shakes violently . "It's no one . I lied . No one is bullying me . I am not hurt by anyone . It was me who likes to bully them . I did it . I stole the question papers from the teacher's office . Those drugs are mine . I hid them in their bags . I was the one who wanted to **** that boy in the storeroom . The prost.i.tution rumors are true . I did it to earn cash . "

She pushes Ren away and laughs hysterically . "I did it . I did it . "

"Rie chan, calm down . It's not a school . We already dropped out of school, remember?" Ren strokes her back . "See, I am here . That's Dr . Umezaki, my uncle . "

Her breathing calms down as her eyes become clear . She stares at Kiyohira . "Who is that?"

"This guy is Ichihara Kiyos.h.i.+ . He is also my uncle's student . " Ren holds her to keep her steady on her feet .

Kiyohira gets up abruptly and walks out of the room . He can't watch it anymore . He punches the wall that scares away Yuhara Kozue . He is the source of her deteriorating condition . After a minute, Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro comes out .

"It's not good . Tell me how did you become her trigger . She is extremely afraid of you . "

He lets out a breath . "Is it because I forced her to come with me?"

"I don't think that she turned out like this because of that . " Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro guides him to his study room . "She isn't afraid of seeing you . Rather, she is afraid of going back with you . So, there must be something that is linked to the place where you are taking her . "

Kiyohira thinks hard . She has told him repet.i.tively that she doesn't want to go back with him . She even kneeled . . . He doesn't want to remember that .

"Who did she meet before she pa.s.sed out at your home?"

The servant pours tea for both of them . Kiyohira recalls her expression when she saw Chisa that day .

"Has.h.i.+moto Chisa . "

But, they don't know each other . Rie also told him that she didn't know Chisa . She must have lied .

"I have checked Chisa's records . She never went to Rie's school . "

A few years ago, Chisa's father wanted Chisa to marry Kiyohira . Back then, he had read all of her information about her because his father wanted to know whether he was interested to marry Has.h.i.+moto Chisa . Her record was clean . Her background was good . She went to elite schools before she moved to T city after her mother remarried her stepfather . She was fine for a marriage of convenience . But, Kamiyama Hitomi strongly opposed the marriage . His father also changed his mind . So, he let it go .

"Before Chisa's mother remarried, she was living in M city . She went to an elite school there . Chisa didn't step into T city before her mother married her stepfather . "

Umezaki Yus.h.i.+ro scratches his chin . "We can't be sure if it was Chisa who triggered her . It can be a situation that reminded of her past or Chisa's clothes or her name or her appearance . Chisa might look like someone Rie knows . "

He has to find Takeuchi Miwako first to confirm things .
