CHAPTER 15
10 WAYS TO KILL MY HUSBAND
TOTAL WORD COUNT: 3326
Chanyeol's childhood was worse than hell.Â
He did not feel loved.Â
He did not feel appreciated.Â
He did not feel like a child.Â
He did not understand the wide range of emotions he had been going through since he had memory.Â
He only understood hate, rage, the desire of vengeance over his enemies. If he showed any kind of emotion that belonged to the spectrum of love, a whip came straight to his back until the flesh ripped from bone.Â
He was taught not to feel, to hide his doubts under layers of abuse and pain from his own parents.
His days passed by learning martial arts, being beaten up once and again to learn how to kill, mastering every weapon until his parents decided he was old enough to kill for the first time.Â
He was only seven when he killed his first man. He is never going to forget how the man screamed for his life, tied on the floor and even held down by his father's men. He sliced his neck, looking straight into his eyes as he watched the men choke on blood, life escaping from his eyes until they were empty.Â
Chanyeol did not sleep for days.Â
Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the man begging, bleeding to death because of what he did.Â
His father found out why he was not training as hard as he was before, why he was not the Chanyeol he was training him to be.Â
Whips, blood and screams.Â
Chanyeol spent a whole week tidied up to a wall, no water or food for him but a lot of time to think about his own survival.Â
He was left there, his back bleeding, naked, in complete dark. He knew this was his father's worst punishment but also a test.
He did not want to be the man begging for his life. He did not want to die tied up and his throat open. He did not want to die. He wanted to kill those who tried to get in his way. He wanted to live in expensive houses and drive luxury cars; he wanted to have the best life. He wanted freedom. And for that, he needed to be a demon. He needed to kill without regrets. He needed to be the most powerful man on Earth.Â
And only then, he would kill his father.Â
That was what freedom meant.Â
Park Chanyeol came out of that zulo with a purpose, determined to do what he was told to achieve his goal.Â
There were dozens of lives taken and cero regrets.Â
He even found it comforting to kill someone. He outlived one more person, he was a kill closer to murder his father, and he was achieving his goal with each person he killed. He was mastering on the art of murder, getting ready for his last victim.Â
He found out his father had more tests prepared for him and his loyalty and Chanyeol was delighted to do them. Earning his father's trust would make everything easier.Â
Then he met Kyungsoo.Â
He was ten years old at that time. His father's men had beaten him up badly, he was sure he had his ribs broken, and left on the streets with the only premise of coming back home with the hand of a dead man. He could not even remember seeing them disappear before falling unconscious on the middle of a dark alley. Â
When he woke up two days later, he stood up and looked for a weapon he could use to kill a man but his body ached to the point it was painful to breath.Â
He was lucky he found a boy sleeping not far from where he was. He did not want to kill a boy but it he needed to. He needed to go back and keep training to achieve his goal. He raised his hand, a thick rock on his hand to help himself to knock him out and break his head but the boy suddenly opened his eyes.Â
Chanyeol saw the same scared eyes of the first man he killed.
He stepped back and dropped the rock, falling on his butt as he felt his body giving up.Â
Kyungsoo was the first person to show him kindness.Â
Kyungsoo was as broken as he was in his own ways but he was still kind, he still had hope in humankind when Chanyeol had lost it. Kyungsoo had close to nothing but he still shared it with him. After taking some hours of rest, water and some disgusting food he had probably found in the trash, Chanyeol decided to leave and look for another pray.Â
He appeared back at home a day later, with the hand of a homeless man he found already dead on an alley. No one needed to know he did not kill him himself.Â
He could feel how proud his father was that he survived. He was so proud he granted him a wish for his hard work.Â
Kyungsoo.Â
He told his dad he wanted to have his personal house cleaner and he knew exactly whom he wanted.Â
Kyungsoo was the connection he needed with real world not to lose his mind in this nightmare.Â
For once in his life, his father did something food for him.Â
---
"You are free to go now. You are free to live your own life"
Kyungsoo had laughed at those words the moment Chanyeol said them.Â
"You would not be able to survive without me, gangster"Â
That was true. Â
For the past eight years, Kyungsoo had been Chanyeol's best friend. No. He was more than that. The cook was the stability the gangster needed in order not to go Berserker.Â
He saw how humankind could be kind, could be humble, innocent and selfless. Kyungsoo was the person he needed to remind himself how the Park Chanyeol everyone knows was only temporary until he killed his own father.
Then he could be whoever he wanted to be.Â
He never expected in his whole life to become the dad of two teenagers. Kim Jongin and Byun Baekhyun came into his life unexpectedly. He admired how brave Baekhyun was to defend his own brother, how he did not hesitate to put himself in front of the gun and almost press the trigger.Â
The two kids reminded him of Kyungsoo when he met him and his heart broke a little. They were stealing to eat, to survive. He understood what survival means and he was not going to punish them.Â
The gangster took the two kids home, like he took Kyungsoo almost ten years ago and he offered them a life. A life of murder and illegal jobs but a better than their own death. He did not trust his father's men after everything that had happened during his own life so he took Baekhyun as his second hand. The teenager was willing to do anything he was asked to, he was loyal and strong; his mind could easily pull out a good plan or business.Â
Sooner than he expected, he had the siblings living under his roof, bringing light into his house. He started experiencing different feelings of what he was used to. His home was full of laughter, of jokes, of love.Â
Chanyeol found himself admiring the people he lived with, he knew he would give his life for any of them if needed.Â
What shocked him the most was the relationship between Jongin and Kyungsoo. He saw them falling in love. He noticed their smiles, their knowing looks, their cuddles and their kisses. He wondered how love was like.Â
He knew sex. He started having sex when his father hired a hooker for him for his sixteen birthday. He was not even that interested in sex, it was pure need of release stress but he was fascinated by the way they felt.Â
Would he be able to feel love? Would he be able to feel more than his desire of vengeance?
Probably not.Â
And then, he saw Akiko.Â
Well, he saw the unknown girl.Â
He was fascinated by the black-haired girl who was fighting with five guys as big as himself. He was not paying attention to the meeting, his eyes were fixed on the way she moved, on how she fought expertly and knocked them over like the men were not huge.Â
"Who is she?" he asked.Â
"No one"Â
His eyes were still fixed on the girl when she looked up at him. Did she see him staring? He could not get himself to look away, not even when the she through a knife right into his direction but got stuck on the window. She glared. She glared at him hard before she left into the woods and disappeared. Chanyeol wanted to follow her, ask her who she was but he had to stay locked on that office.Â
He did not managed to see her again that day, his eyes scanning every corner of the house as he left but she was nowhere in sight.
If it was not for Mr. Nakamura reaction to his words, he would have thought he had imagined her.Â
---
“Do you know who that girl living with the Nakamura is?”Â
Chanyeol could not stop thinking about her.Â
She appeared on his dreams, fighting against him, pinning him down on the floor and then smiling at him. Would her smile look as beautiful in real life as it would be on his dreams? It has been a couple of years since he saw her, but his dreams only got recurrent. He tried to brush it off, keep his thought for himself but he was starting to get crazy. Chanyeol tried looking for information about the girl but there was none. Anyone knew about her existence. If it was no for Mr. Nakamura’s face that day, he would have thought he was insane.Â
“Kind of”Â
He felt his heart beating at his ears with his words. The Chinese Butcher had become one of his best friends. They were around the same age, with parents who abused them and they shared the same liking to ending lives. Their friendship grew closer with their deals and missions together so it was not strange to see them together more than what they should. They shared the desire of vengeance and they were going to help each other to achieve it.Â
“There are many yakuza leaders disappearing lately and I think it has to do with the Nakamura” The Chinese explains as he looks at his poker cards. “The only thing people know about her is that she is a very young woman. The Kunoichi they call her”Â
Chanyeol threw the cards on the table, his mind out of the game since the beginning of the round. He was sure the girl was the Kunoichi. He has seen her fight, he has seen her eyes and stare and he was sure only a girl like that would be able to end the lives of the Yakuza that easily.Â
“What’s with that?”Â
“I know her, I’ve seen her” Chanyeol finally confess, sipping from his whiskey. “It was long ago in Japan but I would recognize her”
“I have a picture” Kris smirks, looking for something on his jacket. “I actually got it for you since you have always been so interested on her”Â
“What are you talking about?” Chanyeol asked, his brows in a thin line as he watched the Chinese look for the picture inside his jacket.Â
“Do you think I am stupid or what?” he asked but Chanyeol decided not to answer.Â
She is even more beautiful that what he remembered. The picture was taken as she was sitting on a huge black and red motorbike. Her milky thighs were exposed, hugging the vehicle beautiful as she was talking with someone next to her. She was wearing a leather jacket, her black locks falling everywhere but her face. Chanyeol was breathless for a second, touching the picture softly as he traced her legs. He was sure there was no creature as beautiful as she was. Her red plump lips, her fierce eyes, the way she looked dangerous even doing nothing.
“I guess by your expression that the girl you saw that day and the Kunoichi are the same person”
“Can I keep this?”
"As I said earlier, this is for you" Yifan drank from his whiskey, trying to hide his smile. "So you can feed your crush"
Beautiful…
Stunning…
A goddess...
“So this is the famous picture”Â
Chanyeol jumps from his chair, scared about the sudden voice behind him. He will never get used to the way his wife manages to sneak around without him noticing. The picture soon disappears from his hands before he can hide it on his drawer but he decides it is better not to fight against her now. He decides to pull her wife on top of him, to make her sit on his lap to at least have her closer to him.Â
“If I knew you had a crush on me I would have had so much fun teasing you” Chanyeol chuckles, hiding his face on her neck to leave a trail of kisses down to her shoulders.Â
“Teasing me?” he asks. “You would have fallen for me eventually. We are connected to each other, we are soulmates"
"You are getting so damn cheesy" Chanyeol chuckles against her neck but she pulls away, back on her feet as she walks to the balcony. He decides to follow, watching from there how she jumps to the garden to resume her training with Zitian.Â
His eyes cannot leave her frame as she moves.
Chanyeol remembers the second time he saw her in person.Â
A little bit over four years had passed since the first time he landed his eyes on her. The glow up was obvious. The black dress hugged her curves beautifully, revealing how toned her legs were, her black hair long to his hips, her lips red and eyes shining brightly in anticipation.Â
When the offer of marrying the Kunoichi in exchanged of protection came, he almost shouted in happiness but he managed not to look desperate as he agreed.Â
Having her on his arms the first night, fighting with her, kissing her felt like a dream. He wanted to think it was lust but no.Â
He was falling, falling really hard for Akiko.Â
Chanyeol feels complete now. The Kunoichi is everything he has ever wanted but he did not know.Â
He would leave everything behind for her.Â
He would give his life for her.Â
Akiko is his everything.Â
---
"Why are we here?" I groan in annoyance, looking out of the window to the streets I already know by heart.Â
"Because I have a surprise waiting for you"Â
When Chanyeol told me we were flying to Japan I completely disliked the idea. I still manage some of my own business from Korea but coming back after what happened with Father has been difficult. I no longer feel like I am at home, I feel out of place here but Chanyeol insisted in coming or he would take my weapons away. Just like a little kid with no other options, I had to accept.Â
I am afraid he is taking me back to talk with Father because I am not ready to see him even after almost six months since what happened. I am not ready to see how he has probably aged another decade in the past months since the Park's New Year's party.Â
However, the car is not following the route to my old house but taking just the opposite direction. The car stops in front of large iron doors that start to open slowly. I know this is an exclusive area in which luxury villas are located for people too rich to live with the rest of the world. Who are we seeing?
The doors open slowly, revealing a huge traditional Japanese house at the end of the way. I step out of the car before it starts moving again, looking everywhere as I am stunned by the property.Â
"Akiko" Chanyeol calls for my name as he lets the car go to the front of the house. "This is for you"Â
"What?"Â
I try to digest the views around me. It is beautiful. Everything is green around us: pond full of koi fish on our right and a cute place to have tea on the other side of the garden under the shadow of a huge tree. I walk to the main house slowly, taking the sight around me before I open the main door.Â
"This is ours, baby girl" Chanyeol whispers, his arms around my waist as he rests his head on my shoulders. "Happy anniversary"Â
"Is this really for us?" I ask, looking everywhere in the house.Â
"Yeah, every time we come here we will have our home" Chanyeol explains, following me around the property. "You are Japanese after all and this is your home too"Â
"This is just amazing, babe"Â
The house combines Japanese traditional style with all the modern facilities of today. From the living to our bedroom, everything is perfect. I would have not done it better but Chanyeol always knows exactly what to do.Â
"I… my present for you is so lame compared to this" I whisper, pushing him down on the bed and crawling on top of him.Â
"What present?" He asks, his brows on a thin line.Â
I take my top off, revealing a black lace bra that makes him bite his lower lip but I guide his hand to my ribs. His fingers brush my skin softly, noticing the slight bump on the skin before he looks closer. Chanyeol gasps in surprise when he sees the tattoo, a shocked expression on his face.Â
"Baby?" He asks but I only smile at him.Â
"I did not know what I could give to someone who has everything with just a snap of his fingers so I thought it would be a good idea to give you a proof of my feelings since I know I am a bitch sometimes" I explain, too embarrassed to look at him right now. "But this only makes sense if you get a matching one"Â
"Did you get it done this morning before coming?" He asks as I nod slowly. "I would get mine once we come back"Â
"Really?" Chanyeol nods, a beautiful smile on his face as I feel relieved with his reaction.Â
The tattoo is small, his name in Korean tattooed on my ribs. It is simple but cute, the perfect demonstration of my commitment to him. Chanyeol leans in closer until he gives a small peck to the skin that is still bruised.Â
"What should I get then?" He asks, unbuttoning his shirt slowly. "Something like this?"Â
My jaw falls open when I see the tattoo on his bicep.
That is me.Â
I can recognize myself on his skin.Â
It is my side profile, wearing a flower-pattern yukata with a katana right in front of my face, aligned with my lips and nose. The hair is falling everywhere, cherry flower petals around me and the Kunoichi symbol on the handle of the katana.Â
"Why do you have to be so…?" He chuckles, stroking my thighs slowly. "I did nothing compared to what you did for me…"
"Don't compare, baby" he whispers, giving kisses along my shoulders. "You wrote my own name on your skin forever"Â
"I know but you have my face on you!" He chuckles again, making me look right into his eyes.Â
"Who says it is you?" He teases. "Shut up and enjoy our first anniversary"Â
"After this, you cannot do a damn thing for like five years" Chanyeol throws me into the bed, almost knocking me over with the headboard.Â
"Let me fuck your cute little ass and we are even"
