Secrets

Chapter 28

(Y/N) carried a tray of tea, glancing over outside to see her brother and Gun sparring with one another. She let out a sigh as she looked back down at the tea tray before continuing onward, tasked by her mother to deliver this to her father and a couple of business partners. She froze as she heard her name mentioned, she pressed her back against the door, tilting her head so her ear was the closest to the door as she listened in. "Who knew how easy it was to be able to have the Yakuza into your grasp." She heard one of her father's loyal followers say with a laugh.

She heard her father laugh as well, "Make a simple secret arrangement without my daughter knowing it was the key. She is head over heels with that boy." (Y/N) felt her heart stop as she stood there frozen. "Girls, so quick to fall in love when a boy treats them nicely and does the bare minimum. Works with ex-hookers too." Her brows furrowed in anger as the tray she was holding began to tremble.

"Speaking of which, where is that worthless girl with our drinks?" (Y/N) took a deep breath in and out, as she played a calm expression before hurrying in, placing the tray down on the table. "Finally!" One of his loyal men spoke, throwing his hands up before reaching out, pouring himself a cup. Her father waved his hand signaling for her to leave, she bowed before leaving the room.

(Y/N)'s calm facade immediately dropped when she left the room as she made a beeline to where her brother and Gun were sparring. She let her anger consume her as tears welled in her eyes as she stomped outside just as Damon was thrown to the ground. "Oh hey sis. Dad didn't say anything to you-" Damon was cut off as he watched his sister slap Gun across the face, the most shocking part was Gun let her. "Woah sis-" Damon scurried up to his feet.

"Shut up or you're next!" (Y/N) glared at Damon who immediately took a step back with his hands in a surrender-like fashion. She then looked over at Gun, "Was all of this a lie? Do you actually love me or is this all a joke to you!?" She questioned shoving him, which of course he didn't even budge but he stayed still watching her every move, however a confused expression was on his features.

"(Y/N), what are you talking about?" Damon questioned as he took a step towards the two of them, looking between her and Gun.

"I overheard dad mention a secret arrangement in order to get the Yakuza in his grasp." She stated as her flaming gaze hadn't left Gun's calm gaze. "So?" She questioned as Damon turned his focus to Gun as well.

Gun let out a sigh as he spoke calmly, "I truly have no clue what you are-"

"Don't lie to me." (Y/N) interrupted him as her hands clenched into fists.

Gun then looked over at her one last time before going down to his knees and bowing down to her, "I swear to you, I had no idea of this." He pushed, a hint of desperation in his voice.

(Y/N) truly didn't know if she could believe him or not as her father's words gnawed in her head. Every path she and her brother took was for the sake of their father's power to grow more and more, one of his schemes they called it. This is another one of them, with the Yakuza by his side he would be unstoppable. "I'll leave tomorrow, back to Japan." Gun suddenly spoke, still in his bowing position. "You won't have to see me for a long while, I must return regardless-"

"I'm done with you." (Y/N) spoke suddenly as she whirled around leaving Gun behind in his bowing position as her brother looked between the two of them in worry and alarm. He was going to leave soon anyway by the sounds of it, meaning he was going to abandon her and her brother in this hellhole.

But what she didn't know is that she would see Gun standing at Goo's side in the near future and her father's reign would be snuffed out.
