Chapter 16- Lover Vs Lover
Kaya fell into deep thought as she held her chin. Although she was worried sick about Kai, his not being present inside the destroyed apartment meant that he was either abducted or he ran away.
She was confident that she could find him. But, that will take time, something she doesn't have at the moment considering the potential urgency of the situation.
So, Kaya had to cut down the area of search as much sa she could.
'Kai is a very smart boy. He won't stay here if he found his apartment destroyed. Where would he go? Hmm…' At that moment, Kaya realized something and then she quickly ran outside the apartement.
After going downstairs, she went toward the landlord's house and knocked on it.
"Oh, dear, Kaya? What is it?" The middle-aged woman opened the door and asked.
"Did Kai call you any time this evening?" She asked.
"Oh? Yes, he did. He told me that he will pay for the restoration of the apartment and that he will be staying with a friend for a while."
Kaya immediately breathed out a sigh of relief. Kai was safe which was the most important thing to her. However, her face turned sour a second later.
'A friend? Since when did Kai have fri…ends?' That's when it hit Kaya and her face paled completely.
"Don't tell me!" Turning around, she dashed away at top speed. At the same time, she dialed a number in her phone.
"Elu, give me the address of that Lavine girl."
"Good evening, Kaya!" The landlord said with a smile as she closed the door.

"Someone is coming? Who?" Eva asked as she also stood up.
"This aura… It's Kaya." Kai said as he squinted his eyes.
'How did she find out I'm here?' Kai thought to himself. However, that matter wasn't important now. He had to actually think of a way on how to deal with the angry woman.
'If she meets Eva, it's going to be annoying.' His eyes shifted to Eva as he stared at her silently for a second.
"I don't think she discovered your secret. However, I doubt she will believe anything you say. So, here is the plan."

A few minutes later, Kaya reached her destination which was Eva's villa. Her face only grew more and more bitter the more she looked at the house.
'Tsk, a rich bitch is after my Kai! If she thinks money is enough to entice him, then she's wrong!!' Saying that, Kaya jumped over the gates and landed in the front yard.
"Kai! Kai, where are you?!" She shouted.
A few seconds later, the door opened and Eva walked outside with a serious expression.
"You… are you Eva Lavine?" Kaya asked with a threatening tone as she unleashed a little bit of her aura, just to pressure Eva.
"Yes, and who are you?" Eva asked back.
"It doesn't matter who am I. Where is Kai?"
"Kai? Hm, what do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean. Where is Kai? I know he's here."
Eva stared at the woman for a few seconds in silence before she sighed and stepped forward.
"So, you barged into my house and threatened me just because my friend is staying here with me? How insensitive are you, lady?" Eva asked with a smirk.
"You…" Kaya clenched her teeth in frustration as she fought the urge to instantly shred the girl in front of her to pieces."
"Me and Kai are very very close and so when he needed my help, I obviously would help him. Hmm, now that I think about it, why are you this concerned about him? Are you his mom?" Eva asked.
'Ok, that's it, I'm going to kill her!!'
"Oh wait, I know your face. Hmm, where did I see you before?" Making a fake thinking expression, Eva touched her chin before she beamed. "Oh, right! Aren't you that one gravure idol?"
"Huh?" Instantly, Kaya's face turned extremely cold as she unleashed her full aura. Her anger reached a level that couldn't be comprehended. She didn't care about the consequences anymore. The girl in front of her is going to die and that's the end of the story.
However, at that exact moment, Kai walked out of the house.
"Kaya, is that you? Why are you here?" He asked casually as if he didn't notice her killing intent that was basically oozing out of every part of her existence. A normal person would've instantly fainted if they were exposed to that crushing pressure.
Immediately, Kaya's angry expression vanished and instead, a relieved smile appeared in its place as she quickly ran to Kai.
"Kai! You little brat, I was worried to death!" She said as she hugged him, shoving his face into her huge breasts.
"Who did that to your apartment? Tell me the details."
"It's fine. A burglar barged into the building and decided to rob my apartment." He said without breaking eye contact.
"A burglar?" Kaya raised an eyebrow in confusion at his excuse.
But, it immediately clicked.
'That bitch… She must've faked a burglar attack just so that she can make him live with her.' Glaring at Eva who was smiling proudly as if she won the game, Kaya clenched her fists.
"It will take a few days but I will be back there soon. Thanks for your concern." Kai said blandly as he gave Eva a secret glance.
"Hm, but, wouldn't staying here cause trouble to that bi- Miss over there? You can stay over at my house instead~ I can take good care of you." Kaya mused as she touched Kai's chin with her finger seductively.
Seeing that interaction, Eva's face darkened.
If it wasn't for the fact that Kai had made sure that she had to follow exactly what he said, she would've started a fight with this woman.
Archangel or not, Eva wasn't weak at all. In fact, she was confident she can beat Kaya in a direct fight.
'Kai said he will deal with the matter peacefully. I should restrain myself. I will just touch him all over to get rid of her dirty hands.' Thinking so, Eva kept her cool to a certain extent.
"It's fine. I will be back in a few days. Eva was kind enough to let me stay here. I don't want to spit at her kindness." Kai said with a small smile.
'This should be enough to persuade her.' In his head, though, he kept his calm.
As a hitman, acting was a part of his skills that he must have. Missions that included persuading someone into believing that he is an ally happened quite often.
Making a small smile wasn't that big of a deal even for someone as stoic as him.
However, even that small, insignificant smile made both girls gasp. Their eyes widened and their faces blushed profusely.
'Kai smiling… I-It's unfair… Why is it this mesmerizing?' The two thought as they averted their eyes.
"Is that fine?" Kai delivered the last blow.
"... Huh? Uh, Y-Yes! But, it's just because Kai wishes for it. I will make sure the apartment is fixed by tomorrow morning."
Kaya had already called for a group of her subordinates to come and start working on the apartment before coming here.
"tsk! This whore…" Eva clicked her tongue.
"I will leave you for today. But, remember, Kai. You are still too young for anything… Ehem, anything inappropriate. Besides, that girl. She is suspicious. Don't trust her."
"What did you sa-" Eva was about to lash out at Kaya for accusing her of being a liar. But, Kai was the first to speak.
"She isn't an enemy, don't worry."
"Kai…" Eva felt touched by his words as she looked at her beloved with a dreamy look.
"Tsk…"
Kaya couldn't say anything else and turned around to leave. As she walked past Eva, she whispered something in her ear.
"I know what you want to do. But, since Kai trusts you, I will give you a warning. Don't you dare approach Kai. He is mine and mine alone. If I ever see you try to get close to him again. I will make sure your whole family is erased from existence."
Her threat was bone-chilling to say the least. However, Eva didn't show any reaction as gave Kaya a cold side glance.
"If you want war… Then that's what you will get. Kai isn't yours and will never be and I will make sure of that."
