Mira couldn't think of anything properly that's why she returned to her room to have some alone time.
Something big was revealed today...no, calling it just big would be an understatement.
Her son, the same Minoru she and her husband adopted all those years ago...was not a human.
She would have discarded those words if she had only heard them from Minoru or anyone else. However, that transformation...it was real. There was no prop and she wasn't watching it in a movie to call it computer graphics.
She saw it with her own eyes. Minoru wasn't a human.
'He was an incubus...no wonder how I got seduced so easily...' she still remembers the day when she masturbated while thinking about Minoru for the first time
Then there was the car trip when she touched him...and crossed a line that a mother never should. He was using his demonic powers to influence her. Yes, that's it!
"Mom, we need to talk." Suddenly, Shiori burst into the room without warning and sat on the bed across from her.
"Shiori...did he...with you as well?" She asked with her brows knitted in a frown.
Since he had a relationship with Kosuke and even seduced Mira...Shiori must have been an easy target for him.
"What are you thinking, Mom? That he used his powers to enchant us and we went against our morals to sleep with him?" Shiori asked bluntly with her eyes turned slightly narrow.
"Isn't it the truth? He even accepted that he seduced us." Mira argued, her tone suggesting aggression since right now all she could feel was frustration and anger.
She was made to question her morals by that boy who was not a human and used his demonic skills to make her and her husband cheat on each other.
"Seriously, Mom? You are blaming Minoru now...just because he revealed his truth by trusting us?" Shiori asked, her voice containing clear disappointment.
"You don't understand Shiori! He was using us to just fulfill his desires. I know he must have many partners outside too!" She got up from the bed and spoke in a loud enough tone that Kosuke, who was just outside the room, to hear.
He also stepped inside the room and Mira glanced at him once.
The man decided to remain silent, keeping his thoughts to himself.
Shiori's shoulders slumped, as she asked, "Did you know...about a few weeks ago...I was getting constantly tormented by bullies?"
Mira's expression faltered and so did Kosuke's.
Bullied? Shiori? When did this happen?
"Mom...you knew I broke up with Shiro but you never knew why I did so. You knew I was hurt, so you brought me shopping, but it wasn't you who gave me the courage to step out of my room. You never noticed the bruises and wounds I hid, physical or not. It was him...Minoru did, Mom. And he was the one who got rid of the bullies for me. He was the one who showed me the real face of Shiro. And he was the one who prevented me from breaking down!"
Her voice turned hoarse, eyes moist.
The previous aggressive look from Mira's eyes slowly faded as she looked at her daughter.
Shiori shook her head as she said, "He didn't come to seduce me...I gave myself to him. He even rejected me once but I had already realized by that time that the only man I could allow myself to be with was him."
Looking at her mother, she said, "You say he used us...I say we used him, Mom."
Getting up, she turned towards her father and said, "Your senior had all the plans to keep you miles away from promotion and only continue to increase your workload. The one who dealt with him was Minoru. The reason why we have a normal lifestyle right now is him!"
Turning back to her mother she said in a crisp voice, "And you mother...how do you think your yoga classes are still working despite having the facility of online classes these days? Why all of a sudden you started to receive so many new customers? Do you want to know who made it possible with his so called evil powers?"
Mira bit her lip, her fists clenched.
Neither she nor Kosuke could deny that their life had changed drastically in these few weeks. They were barely surviving with their income...and then, they received a sudden boost out of nowhere.
In a heavy voice, Mira asked, "...then why did he try to seduce me?"
"Again? That word?!" Shiori was genuinely angry at the moment.
She drew closer to her mother and asked in a low tone, "I am going to put a mirror on your face, Mom. Minoru can see the desire of every single being in this world. He knew Dad craved boys as his partner so he presented himself to him. And he knew that you wanted to have a relationship with a younger boy, so he came to you. "
Crossing her arms and looking at both of them alternatively, she asked, "Tell me if I am wrong. Tell me if you were forced to see him that way."
Mira and Kosuke shared a look...both of them were unaware that their partner had such desires.
And the fact is...they both gave in when they were tempted.
Shiori scoffed, "You should be thankful to Minoru that he at least prevented you from cheating with a stranger. You were able to love each other again rather than filing a divorce. He saved our family."
Shiori couldn't have uttered those words to her parents normally. It was the anger that made her say it.
Hearing his mother constantly blaming Minoru for everything just pushed her off the edge.
Mira and Kosuke lowered their heads, their minds riddled with thoughts.
In the end, Mira just sat down and Kosuke left the room.
They have to think about this more carefully.
A/N:- I re-wrote this chapter since the previous version ...just disappeared. And if you are an author you must know how much that hurts. Anyway, thanks for reading.
