“You’re fired!” He angrily screamed at me as I looked at him in shock.

He yelled at me to leave, while his mistress was smirking at me with an evil look in her eyes.

“Dear\~ That’s enough....don’t waste your presious time on her\~” She said seductively

She was 24 and he was 52 with a wife and a child, normally I would feel bad for his child and wife, and once I did but when I met them, it changed.

His wife knew about his affair but didn’t care as long as he provided her with money.

His son, who was 25 had hooked up with his father’s mistress behind his back and had tried to do that to me as well, but I rejected resulting in him calling me a useless doll and then pushed me aside and went on to his on his fathers secretary, who happily obliged.

I sighed as I walked home with the box that carried all my stuff.

[Suzuki Jabami] was written on it, it’s my name, I’m 22 years old and on the verge of homelessness.

I walked home shamelessly while looking around, the city life has always been my dream, I loved the view at night, it was simply beautiful. I hoped that I could one day get enough money to buy an apartment that would overlook the city, but as years passed and I continuously got fired, I’m starting to give up on that dream.

I sighed again as I unlocked the door to my plain apartment and stepped indside.

I put my stuff down on a small table I had in my living room

I sat down on my sofa and started crying.

..."Why?”...

...“Why is it always me?”...

I whispered to myself as I let my heart out, the city life was expensive, the rent, groceries, clothes, furniture and so much more.

I looked down on my ring finger.

...The Red String Of Fate...

Was it called, it connects two or more people together, it’s rare to have more than one ‘soulmate’ as they call it. I only had one, and I was thankful for that.

The string is attached to your ring finger as there’s a vein that leads directly to your heart.

I always wonder how he’s doing, I hope he’s doing better than me.

3rd POV

“Boss!” A male yelled as he ran towards his bosses office. He opened the door in pure panic and fear as he was about to face the man that Japan, China, Korea, Thailand and many other countries in Asia feared the most, and he brang horrible news with him into the office.

Kaname Tetsurou

Was a name that all big shots knew and feared, he had a total 4 powerful powers, having one powerful power was rare enough, but this male had 4

1: Manipulation

He can manipulate all objects and livings (trees, humans, animals etc), to his will, he controls them just as he pleases.

2: Superhuman strength and endurance/immunity

He is stronger than most people of the world population, while having an incredible endurance, meaning, a bullet wouldn’t be able to wound him in anyway, he can endure hot and cold temperatures that could kill others, the same goes for poison and venom as he has incredible immunity.

3: ???

This thing has no name, but it’s alive and totally under his control, it doesn’t talk and only takes his orders, unless he allows others to order it to do something, the thing chose him, so it also protects him, it wasn’t passed down from generation to generation, it’s most common form is tentacles, but it can form into everything. It has the color black with a purple highlight, but the highlight will turn red if either angered or he(Kaname) or someone he cares about is wounded, it can bring people back to life.

4: Creation

This ability allows him to create anything, he can’t create livings, but plants.

“Boss!” “I bring horrible news!” The male yelled with a fear struck face expression, the male at the other end of the room, was siting down with a white, expensive tuxedo with a black shirt underneath it and no tie.

His eyes flickered to the fear stricken male. Piecing eyes bored into the scared male.

“What is it?” The intimidating male said with a deep voice, he had no bad temper, but was known for being cold, calculated, calm and dangerous....among other things.

“Ms. Quin demands to see you, immediately.....”

Ms. Quin, is from the Quin family, a powerful one, but not powerful enough to make Kaname care about it.

She is like all the other women who throw themselves at the male, but she feels special since she is from a wealthy and powerful family, and have slept with him a couple of times, she often claims that she’s his girlfriend, despite him saying that she isn’t his soulmate and because of that, would never date her.

But she often claims that they are soulmates.

“And what does she want?” Kaname said, with no expression.

Perhaps the news aren’t as horrible as we thought they were.

“Ehh, she..uhh...said that she wanted to...um...uhh..see her boyfriend...”

“Well tell her that he’s not here” “Yes boss!”

The smaller male went out of the office with a breath of relief, leaving the 6ft+ boss alone.

With Quin:

“WHAAAT!? I KNOW HE’S HERE! LET ME SEE HIM! LET ME SEE KANAME!” A squeaky voice yelled, her words shook all the people there. Kaname was normally just called ‘boss’ , ‘tetsurou’ , ‘Mr, tetsurou’ or ‘sir’ Never has anyone dared to say his name.

Back at Kaname:

“S-sir, she was talking about you, she wants to see you” the same male as before said.

“I know, but I have no interest in her, never had and never will. Get her to leave. Now”

“I have a meeting to attend” “Yes boss!”

Ms. Quin was later removed from the property and was given a warning, she wasn’t kicked out or banned from the building, well only for the day, but if she needed to continue coming there, she needed to be quiet and not cause a scene.

Suzuki’s POV

That same night I got fired, I went out, not to drink or anything but I needed groceries.

As I walked into the store, I got greeted with high prices, I wasted 30% of my salary on this, 50% on my rent and 20% for whatever I wanted, but with the money I made, it wasn’t much left.

I paid for my stuff and left, it was chilly at night and creepy and I can’t forget, dangerous.

I wanted to get home as quickly as possible, but on my way, I noticed that there was way more people here than usual, it was dense and people were rushing towards something, or rather someone.

The cameras light, lit everything up like it was still day and the screams and yells of both questions and ‘look over here for the camera!’s were tremendously loud.

As I walked but the enormous crowd, everything stopped, when I heard a specific name, or rather sentence.

“Mr. Tetsurou! Please look over here for the camera!”

Mr. Tetsurou

Tetsurou

I knew that name by heart, the Tetsurou family had always been powerful, no matter the era, the family had been filled with Kings, Queens, Princesses, princes, dukes, duchesses, earls and other powerful positions, but when they’re wasn’t any kings, queens or other powerful positions alive in the family, they still were looked at like one, they held enormous power even when there wasn’t any powerful positions involved.

It was either because of the powers that was given to them since birth, either from another family member or a new one, it has always been beneficial.

They had no problems with money and they had enough influence to turn everyone against the current ruler, so it was only wise to be on their good side as they were the real rulers.

I had worked at multiple companies, powerful or not, so it was only expected, that I knew that name. Everybody did.

He was a well known mafia man, he was such a powerful mafia man, that it ended up not mattering if society knew or not, they couldn’t do anything anyway, he was invincible if he wanted to be and he wanted to.

He was not only attractive, but also powerful, something women adored, I was attracted to him as well, but I knew that I had no chance, so I ignored it, I have only seen him from the media, but never in real life.

What shocked me even more, was that my string (which was only visible to me and my soulmate) pointed towards the crowd of people.

I had always dreamed of meeting him, I had no care in the world about his job, he could be poorer than the poorest and I would still stick to him.

Is he a photographer?

I didn’t want to throw away the opportunity to meet him, so I walked towards the crowd of people. I squeezed my way to the front, I had my eyes glued to the photographers, I knew I had no chance with the rich, so why look after one?

I looked at my red string and followed it with my eyes. It lead into the middle of it, where the photographers were taking of, or them.

My eyes widened as I looked at the 6ft+ tall male in front of me, he had the most piercing gaze I’ve ever seen. He looked me right in the eyes .

I first thought that my soulmate was behind him as he stood in front of a tall glass window, but I realized that that wasn’t the case at there were no one behind it.

I couldn’t believe it, but the way he looked at me. He had stopped right in his tracks and just stood there looking at me. To make sure, I walked to the side but his piercing gaze only followed, confirming my thoughts.

I panicked and started backing up, I wanted to leave, to run. Something was wrong, he couldn’t be my soulmate, I don’t belong with the rich and powerful.

He himself wasn’t the problem, in fact, he was even more handsome than in pictures. I just couldn’t do with the status.

I know I said that status didn’t matter, but that’s because I never expected for my soulmate to be the most feared man in Asia.

He needed as strong, smart, rich and powerful woman by his side, that wouldn’t ruin his reputation and allies.

I am not that woman.

I walked backwards for a couple of steps while being covered by the swam of paparazzi trying to take photos of him, before turning around and walking away.

It broke my heart to walk away from my so called ‘soulmate’ but, with my insecurities and introverted personality, I wouldn’t be able to fit in.

I could feel his stare bore into me as I walked, I was still in eyes sight as it was difficult to navigate through the swarming crowd of paparazzi.

Now he was getting questions like “Why aren’t you moving!?” “Is something wrong?!” “Did you realize something!?” “Do you regret taking this meeting!?”

And that was when I turned around, his eyes had not moved away from me, but this time he did something different. He raised his hand and snapped his two fingers, getting his ‘soldiers’ attention and then pointed his finger at me.

Then he moved again, he calmly walked into his car and drove away.

I panicked and started running, the swam of people had not seen who he pointed at but his ‘soldiers’ did.

It was easy to get out of the crowd that was now turning around and leaving as Mr. Tetsurou had also left. I blended in perfectly, but sadly not perfect enough.

When the swam of people became smaller and smaller after I left, a hand came out of nowhere and took me.

His ‘soldiers’ had kept an eye out for me.

I was scared out of my mind

I had been captured.

Suzuki’s POV

I stood there, frozen in fear as I had a hand covering my mouth. The hand was warm and so was the person behind me, I had thought about who it was, but I didn’t want to believe it.

I was spun around so I faced him.

It was indeed him, Kaname Tetsurou.

I felt so safe in his arms, despite the situation.

He looked me in the eyes and caressed my check.

I got lost In this sensation, it was like it was only the two of us in the whole world.

Then something I haven’t expected happened, he pulled me into a hug, his arms were wrapped tightly around me, engulfing me In his warmth while his hand caressed my head. My face touched his chest and I could hear his heartbeat.

He whispered something in my ear, that sent chills down my spine.

“Come with me, darling”

His voice was so deep and powerful, I couldn’t do anything but nod.

As we walked through the empty ally, I only looked at him.

His piercing red eyes, his soft looking straight black hair, his calm demeanor and his clothes.

He wore white silky pants, that looked like it was a part of a tuxedo, but he had a well done and tucked in long sleeved black shirt. And silver earrings.

(He doesn’t smoke, despite the picture - author)

At the end of the ally there was no paparazzi, only a black expensive looking car. A well dressed man in a suit opened the door for us and waited for us to enter before closing the door and taking the drivers seat.

I looked around in this luxurious car, the seats were made out of leather, a beautiful beige color.

I looked out the rear window and was amazed at how beautiful the city life looked.

Suddenly I realized the intense feeling of being watched, I knew that it had been there for sometime, most likely since I’ve entered the car.

And I knew who caused it, i nervously turned around with my eyes fixed on him. Just as I thought, his piercing eyes looked at me calmly, waiting for me to make my next move.

He had been watching me since I’ve entered the car.

We held eye contact the rest of the ride, I felt scared to even move, not because he could kill me, I knew he could but it wasn’t because of that, I was scared to move because of the way he looked at me.

He looked at me like a prey, every move I made would get his immediate attention.

Suddenly the car came to a halt, it broke our eye contact as I looked out the window. But his intense gaze didn’t flinch an inch away from me.

The door opened revealing the driver, he stepped to the side letting Kaname get out of the car.

I was still a little confused about it all and it didn’t help, when the driver closed the door after only he got out, but before I could take action, the door to my left opened revealing a very tall figure, I’m 5’10 but he was towering me.

I knew very well who that was.

Kaname opened the door for me and reached his gloved hand out for me to grab, I took it and instantly felt his warmth through his gloved hand, I didn’t want to let go, in fact I wanted to hug him and feel more of this...warmth.

I heated up just thinking about it.

Kaname tightened his hold on my hand and closed his eyes for a moment, his tightened hold, it didn’t hurt.

When he opened his eyes, he was looking at me, but not for long as he soon started walking, his other gloved hand was in his pocket.

I looked around and my jaw dropped, we were ants compared to this place!

(Not mine)

The huge mansion or castle was beautiful, and I looked up at my mate, but he seemed unbothered.

Of course he’s unbothered! It’s his home! He must’ve seen it a thousand times! Baka!

As we approached the massive door to the even bigger....home? I noticed that people was coming out of it, they were maids. They all looked at him in admiration, ignoring me completely.

Well I never had an outstanding presence anyway and they looked at him like other women did, including me. He was extremely attractive after all.

He stopped in front of them and said in tha calmest demeanor ever

“This is the lady of the house, I expect you all to ****respect her”

Wait...what? The lady of the house!? A house like this!? I just arrived!

That’s when all the attention turned to me, they all looked at me in disgust and some started whispering.

“I just thought the she was like any other slut that master brings home”

“Did she manipulate him into this?”

“What a slut”

*“Is she really the new lady? She doesn’t even look like a normal woman!*”

The words were nothing new, I had always heard those words thrown at me.

I released my grip on his hand and instead moved behind his back and hid, but it only seemed to make it worse.

“Look at her, she’s hiding!”

“The lady of the Tetsurou manor is hiding!?”

“That’s not a lady!”

“We’re expected to respect her!?”

“The lady of the Tetsurou manor should be strong willed and mannered!”

“Ms. Quin fits better! She should be here! She should be the lady of the Tetsurou manor!”

Is it too late to flee?

Then it hit me, Ms. Quin...

Like Akane Quin!? She’s the second child of Mr and Madam Quin! The Quin family is powerful! With not only powerful powers but also political powers too and CEO’s running in their family!

She was also rumored to be Kaname secret girlfriend, wife, soulmate, mistress and even the mother of his unborn child!

I really wanted to go home now, i didn’t want to be in a house with people like them roaming around.

“Enough!”

A single word stopped time, his eyes were dark, his voice was deep and powerful, he had no bad temper but he sounded pissed, his dark eyes and aura held danger and anger, but his posture and facial expression was calm.

“We’ll just live in another manor if no one is willing to respect my woman”

The color from people’s faced disappeared, they had just realized that they had crossed the line. I knew that the relationship between Ms. Quin and Mr. Tetsurou was tough.

They didn’t need to compare me, a poor woman to a rich and confident woman like Ms. Quin, I had no chance.

“Master Tetsurou! Please don’t! We’re very sorry!” One of the women said in pure panic

Just then a black tentacle with a purple highlight came out of a black hole with purple highlight and slapped the woman who spoke up, across the face.

Gasps were heard, I was no expectation. The woman quickly took herself together and bowed to him saying:

“I deserved it master!”

“Yes you did” he said calmly

“But I’m not the one you should be apologizing to, and you shouldn’t be the only one” he continued on

“The punishment will be worse if one of you disrespects my woman again” he finished

Now the attention was on me yet again.

Then suddenly the maids bowed to me and yelled

“Please forgive us m’lady! We are terribly sorry! If this happens again please punish us!”

They said it in perfect union, they must’ve been trained

Or this isn’t the first time this happens

I sweat dropped at the thought

“It-it’s okay!” I said with a nervous smile

The women looked at me in pure shock

Was they not used to this or?

Kaname looked at me in an unreadable expression but nevertheless, he took my hand and guided me indside his huge home.

He looked at his maids one more time and said:

“Dismissed” before leaving them once and for all.

The maids hurried into their former positions and acted like nothing ever happened.
