Episode 6

"I've sent men to investigate her! No, it doesn't matter even if I did because you'll always believe that woman!"

Justin deserves another punch but luckily, I saved my ass off. The great thing about me is self-control.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him. I really can't decode his gesture. Sure enough, he doesn't want Mexica around. But his actions are telling me something. He even made to the extent of investigating her.

He didn't answer and look away at me.

"Fine, you investigated her. Then what did you found out?"

"A prostitute, I hate prostitutes."

That's one of the reasons why we became friends. We share the same bond and likings. So do hate. I fucking hate that kind of woman too. I don't know that a childhood friend could do this to me.

"Both of us knew that. What about the other things?"

"She's just a motherfucking bitch, you know?"

Darn, that mouth. "Do you want me to cut your tongue? Don't curse her."

"See ya' dude? You're so crazy. I don't know what did she do to you. Is it some kind of love potion during sex or something?" The fuck.

"Love potion is cliche. I better prefer dick potion."

Just by that, he ends up laughing like a retard. A smirk was plastered on my face. "But she doesn't have a dick," Justin commented and I glared at him.

He seemed irritated again that I chose Mexica over him, my best friend. Wait, is that the reason why he's acting like this?

"Seriously, what did you find out about her?" I asked in a serious manner. I didn't look at him. Just the heart monitor. It's gradually increasing.

Because I'm kind of scared.

Scared, that if I might know her dark past, I will do those things a beast can. I will crush them to the extent of killing those bastards who touched her.

I understand Mexica's situation.

She doesn't have a choice. How devastated she would feel that time when her own family sells their daughter. How scared she would feel that time, inside a room where you don't know someone, and you had to force sexual intercourse with a stranger. You wouldn't feel great, no women would feel that way.

Prostitutes were like a punching bag. They are used to pain for someone's pleasure.

"Mandemus, are you listening to me?" Justin asked and I look at him. "What did you say?" He seemed serious when he started to talk about Mexica's life.

I will finally get to know her, more.

"Her name is Valkyrie Mexica Woolbright. Age 28. She appeared in Shanghai, China late 2016 when her family sold her to a ginsaeng house. At first, her family was indebted by a mafia lord in Underworld. They don't have a choice so they barter her for the sake of her family's safety. When she was in the mansion of the mafia world. She-"

I gestured my hand to stop Justin from talking. "Stop."

"Family's safety?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yes, the mafia lord blackmailed the parents. So to escape the future wrath, they sell Mexica. She doesn't want it at first. However, the mafia lord keeps on pestering their life that's why she gave in without a choice. That bitch-"

"This is the last warning. Don't call her bitch," I cut him off.

"Fine, that woman was very stubborn inside a ginsaeng house. Every time someone tried to buy her, she caused problems for the head of the mistresses. Hence, no one had touched her at that time."

That's a relief. But my eyebrows furrowed of the thought. "That time?"

"Yes, because someone caught his attention to Mexica during his trivial visit to the ginsaeng house, someone big in Underworld."

"Who?" The only person whom I knew that could be fit to his explanation is no other than me. I am the top-notched business tycoon in Underworld. Don't tell me it's...

"Mr. Kai Wei Long." He answered.

Fuck. I knew it.

"For how many years?"

"What do you mean?"

"For how many years they've lived each other in one roof?"

"Three years, after buying Mexica in the ginsaeng house."

"What?! They live with each other for three fucking years?"

"Calm your short dick down. I'm not yet done." How did I end up with this kind of bodyguard who says my dick is short? Does he want me to undress my boxer right now?

"Continue," I told him, even though I'm pissed with his last remarks.

"Mexica, the prostitute, is stubborn as always. According to my men, she was beaten to death every time she provoked his master, Mr. K, to forced sexual intercourse. But of course, she was lucky enough to be alive after those beatings."

That damn old Chinese bastard.

I will kill him!

My first turned into balls and I get up on my bed. "Where are you going?" Justin asked but I refused to answer his question when I spotted Mexica beside the door. She was carrying a food tray but came to a halt when she saw the two of us. I wonder if she heard our conversation.

"You should knock next time." That's the only words I could say as of the moment.

"The door is wide open."

"Still, you should knock." She didn't answer me and gaze at Justin, who was now standing next to me. They lock eyes with each other. And I'm not numb to feel that they didn't like each other. If eyes could kill, then they are both dead, because right now, I could see the fire inside their eyes.

They hate each other.

"What's your name?" Mexica asked boldly to Justin. She was still carrying the food tray. "Let me get that," I said but she refused.

"No, I'm not going to give you this if he's not going to tell me his name," she said, still locking her fiery eyes to Justin.

I heard Justin's small laughter. "You're so childish. I wonder why he-"

I kicked Justin's feet due to that.

Finally, Justin answered. "Why would you ask my master what's my name?"

"Why would I still ask you if I can ask Mandemus?"

"Tch. A sarcastic bitch," Justin whispered and this time, I kick his ass off. He flinched and massaged his bottom. "Just answer her," I stated.

"Justin. Justin Croax." He bluntly introduced his name without any formalities. Wait a minute, doesn't he supposed to act as body guard? He didn't act as like a while ago until now.

"Justin... " she mumbled.

"Are you done exchanging names?" I asked in between. "What are you doing here by the way?" Mexica didn't answer my question. Instead, she glares to Justin before exiting the door without any word. Rude.

"What was that?" I asked Justin. I called him by his name if it's not a work -related topic and vice versa.

"Nothing," he answered, still looking at the pathway where Mexica left.
