Chapter 15- Cohabitation! (Part 2)

The bathroom was quite big, taking no less than 40% of the room's total area. It had a huge bathtub, a normal toilet, a shower, and a big sink with a massive mirror stuck to the wall on top of it. Everything was marble with a slightly darker color to accentuate the calm, serene atmosphere of the place.

Kai gave the place one single glance before he took off his clothes and walked inside the shower. His body wasn't dirty but he had an urge to wash himself. Touching his targets was something Kai tries to generally avoid.

It wasn't out of disgust but more because every time he kills someone, a weird feeling would linger in his heart. That feeling wasn't pleasant by any means and would only intensify if the dead target touched him.

So, for the most part, he either finishes his targets quickly or uses a gun to do the job.

A few minutes later, Kai came out of the shower. His body was steamy and water droplets of water trickled down his extremely toned body.

Walking to the mirror, he stopped in front of it and stared at the reflection in the mirror. His black hair that usually covers his forehead and a little bit of his eyes was now pushed back, revealing an extremely handsome face.

He had a sharp jaw, sharp purple eyes, and an extremely defined nose. To put it into perspective, if Kai was to walk out with his face revealed, he won't be merely garnering looks. Although he didn't particularly like his face, he knew that others didn't think the same way, and that caused him a lot of trouble in the past.

Even when he was still in primary school, his female teachers tried countless times to do inappropriate things to him under the disguise of 'Tutoring' or 'Tasks'. However, Kai made each one of them leave the school. That didn't mean that he wasn't affected by this behavior at all.

He instinctively became wary of the opposite sex simply because he knew he was extremely charming in their eyes.

Then, his eyes shifted to look at his chest and abdomen. Other than his lean yet compact muscles, what catches the eye was the horrifying number of scars he had covering his body. Sword slashes, bullet scars, and even a huge, burn mark crossing his chest. n.-OVelbIn

As his eyes traced each and every scar, a memory related to that injury came rushing back to his head and made him frown slightly. Especially the burn mark which was the one Kai hated the most. It was related to the most unpleasant memory he had.

After that, Kai turned around and walked out of the bathroom to find some clothes. However, at that moment, the door to his room opened and Eva walked inside.

"Kai, it's time for dinner. Should I bring the food he-" As her eyes fell on Kai, her whole existence froze in place.

The two stared at each other silently for a good 20 seconds. That's when Eva finally woke up from her trance and her face blushed profusely and she quickly averted her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry... I-I knocked on the door a few times but you didn't reply so I thought you left." She said with a low tone. Her whole body fidgeted anxiously as she kept her eyes down.

"No need to bring it here. I will be there in a moment." Kai said, unbothered by Eva's reaction.

"Uh, r-right. T-Then... P-Please take your time!!" After saying that, she ran outside and closed the door shut.

"Hm?" Kai looked at the door for a few moments before he turned around and started drying his hair.

Outside, Eva walked a few meters before she rested her back against the wall. Her face was flushed red and her breathing was erratic as if she just came out of a marathon.

'I-I saw Kia naked. Oh no! This is bad! I feel like my heart will explode!! This is the first time I saw his naked body! Uh~ It looks so perfect... Beyond perfect. No! It should be put in a museum with how perfect it is! Right!' As she thought to herself, she bit her lower lip instinctively as she looked at the image of his body that she engraved in her mind.

A weird feeling welled up in her core as she kept reminiscing about it. Something odd was happening to her.

'I really want to touch it! Trace my hand across his chest and abdomen. Touch his shoulders. I want to discover every single part of his body... Oh no! Wait, what am I even thinking?! Get yourself together, Eva!' Slapping her cheeks a few times to wake up from her daze, Eva took a deep breath and then walked away.

However, even then, her mind was still occupied by Kai's looks. She had seen his face before and to this day, it was still the most handsome face she has ever seen. Mind you, Eva had met many handsome men throughout her life, celebrities, models, singers, and many more prominent men that were the best of the best looks-wise.

But, all of them pale in comparison to Kai's face. His soft yet sharp features mix extremely well together. His hypnotic purple eyes that draw her in every single time with ease and even his thin, perfect lips that she would do anything to taste. They were all so captivating to look at. Like a piece of art made by the best of artists.

'Uh, I think I'm falling deeper in love. How is that even possible? I thought I can't love him any more than this.'

After getting ready and wearing his clothes, Kai walked out of the room and went down to the dining room only to find Eva sitting there, waiting for him. Beside her chair, she put another chair. Presumably for her beloved. However, the distance between the two chairs was basically non-existent.

"Oh, you're finally here!"

Kai nodded his head and sat down on the chair. Eva looked at her beloved before she leaned forward and said.

"I didn't know what kind of food you like. So I made every possible dish my chefs could think of. Enjoy."

"... Garlic breadsticks."

"Hm?"

"My favorite food is garlic breadsticks," Kai repeated his words as he looked at the long table filled with all kinds of food with a blank expression.

"That's good to know! I will make sure to learn how to make them so I can surprise you one day!" Eva said as she beamed happily. "Anyway, let's dig in."

However, at that moment, Kai's face turned serious as he looked up at the ceiling out of nowhere.

His brows knitted together as he stood up.

"Hm? Is everything ok?" Eva, who didn't notice anything yet, asked confusedly.

"Shhh." Kai rudely shushed her as he walked away from the table while looking up at the ceiling.

"Someone is coming... and they don't seem to be friendly," Kai said coldly.

***

Sometime before that, back at the apartment complex where Kai lived. Kaya had finally returned from her trip to Divinity HQ and was quite conflicted. During the trip back, she thought of a million ways how to deal with Eva.

Most of them included killing her brutally. But, even with her strength, Kaya knew that she can't simply kill Eva even if she wanted to. The Lavine family had some connections with Divinity and killing Eva would mean severing those connections which ultimately hurts Divinity.

So, she can't be impulsive. However, on the other hand, the mere idea of Kai being fawned on and courted by another woman, an excellent one at that made Kaya angry. Kai was hers and hers alone, no other bitch has the right to approach him.

She even kept an eye on him in school in case any one of them would dare to try and get closer to him. Luckily for Kaya, Kai seemed to be very introverted and so he didn't have friends or acquaintances he was close to.

"Hm?" When she reached the building, she noticed some police cars standing there. Her face immediately frowned as she thought of the worst case possible. Immediately, she ran inside as fast as possible.

Much to her horror, she saw the policemen standing in front of Kai's apartment. Her face immediately paled.

"Kai!!" Running up the stairs, she reached her beloved's room in a moment.

"Hm? Who are you, lad-"

"Get the fuck out of the way!" Pushing the officer to the side, Kaya barged into the room, looking for Kai.

However, she couldn't see nor sense his presence inside the apartment. So, she turned around and grabbed one of the officers by the collar before asking.

"Where is Kai?! Did something happen to him? Hurry up and speak!!" Her aura leaked a little bit as she lost control of her emotions. This made the officer's face pale as he looked at the beauty with a terrified expression. In his eyes, she looked nothing short of a god of death at the moment.

"W-We don't know, Miss. T-The landlord reported a robbery and we came here to check. A-Apparently, the owner of the apartment didn't come back here yet."

'Didn't come back?' Kaya asked herself confusedly. 'If he didn't come back... Then, where did Kai go?'
