Chapter 1021 My Beautiful Monster Part 122

LUCIFER


It hurts knowing that Terashima is that important to her, but it's not new. 'I have had time to come to terms with her feelings for another man, even if I'm not happy with it.' It's not her fault, it's the curse, it's that woman's fault. But, it's also his. He should have noticed the signs. Before Norah, he fooled around with plenty of women. He should have realized.


'I should have told her. No, I should have brought Norah with me to the meetings. If I did that, perhaps that woman wouldn't have entertained any odd thoughts about them being together.'


He was a fool, and made so many mistakes.


"What do you think of the situation with Toh?" Lucifer wondered.


A complicated look flashed through Jacks face. "Honestly, that one is a problem."


"You think she likes-" Lucifer struggled to say the words.


"Like him? Very much. Even with limited memories, the way she treats him? The way she is naturally comforted being in his presence?"


Lucifer exhales deeply. "I can't lose her to other men. Not now. Especially knowing that her soul, Norah's soul lives on."


Jacks nodded. "I understand what you're trying to say Lucifer. But, while I think you stand a good chance at winning her over.?You shouldn't underestimate Terash-, no. Mashima Toh, especially. I think there is a really good chance for him to sway her over."


'I hate to admit it, but Jacks is right. Toh is the only one Sumire remembered. She didn't recall Narasaki or even Nagawa. Also, it took her some time to remember Terashima too.'


"Call Toh over, tell him what's happening."


Jacks blinked. "Are you sure-?"


Lucifer nodded. "It's better he knows."


Something tells him that if he doesn't let Toh know. Toh will give him another punch.

TOH


Meanwhile, unknown to Lucifer, Toh was facing a huge dilemma. He was staring at the piece of paper with trembling hands. 'I thought so, when I saw all that blood around her. I already knew, but-'


"Akane was a few weeks pregnant." Sano confirmed snapping him out of his thoughts.


".."


Sano's gaze dimmed. "I can't fucking believe you. I understand having a fling, a distraction. Since hell, I've been doing the same since Lucifer took Sumire. However, I have been careful with each woman I touched. What the hell is this? Didn't you use protection? Or make her take the pill?"


"You know as a doctor it can come off, and the pill doesn't always work." Toh paused.


But, it's true there have been occasions where he has been careless with her. He didn't think it would come to this.


A few days ago, Akane didn't show up to a live show. 'I dropped by the studio, because I wanted to watch her and we had plans to have dinner together afterwards only to discover she wasn't there.' Nagawa Evans was also in the studio that day, and he explained Akane's situation to him more.


'She has always been the less favoured child. Not too long ago she contacted me with key information that could send our grandmother in jail for harming Ibuki.'


After hearing that he immediately called Nagawa Sano, who explained how all the siblings had been called back for a family dinner. Even before they entered the building, Toh already understood that something was wrong. The sight he saw was terrifying. Akane being beat up by her own fucking mother, and sister. Akane clenching her stomach and the blood, there was so much blood.


Nagawa Mira was unfortunately not there. But, he knew it was under her command that Akane got hurt.


Sano exhaled deeply. "I know, and that's why I never risked it with Sumire."


Toh rolled his eyes at that comment. "Don't act innocent, she told me about the other things that you did to her."


"Did she blush? How did she react?"


'I really want to punch him. No matter how many times I see Nagawa Sano, I still get these urges.'


"She was fucking terrified."


Sano turned silent and Toh sighs deeply. "I'm not here to argue with you. I came because I wanted to visit your sister since you said she woke up."


Sano nodded. "She should have finished her tests by now. I'll take you to her."


Toh shakes his head and stands up. "No need, you'll just get overprotective again big brother."


He hears Sano muttering curse words but Toh didn't spare him a second glance. He made sure to take the document with the results with him. Most people would say that revealing the truth on the day she woke up is harsh, even her brother said so. However, Toh wanted to get this out of the way. His relationship with Akane has been fairly simple from the very beginning. He knew she wouldn't appreciate him hiding the truth.


Moreover, it goes against his own morals and beliefs.


A child.


He has never thought of having children before. If he ever entertained the thought, well it would be with the woman he loves. It would be with Sumire.


To think it happened with Akane. It shouldn't be a surprise. There is always a risk. A risk he never wanted to take after falling in love with Ibuki Sumire. That's why no matter how lonely he was, he was very careful with the woman he touched after their break up.


His thoughts break off hearing voices come out of Akane's room.


Akane's manager was there shaking her head. "You're so pale, you can't work like this."


Akane laughs. "Are you worried about me Jia? I'm strong you know this."


Jia sobbed. "Oh, I was so careless! I knew it. I knew it was a trap. I should have come with you, or made up an excuse so you couldn't go. Your sister has openly declared war on you."


Toh paused. He has been too busy recently with taking care of Sumire's children. Knowing that Sumire would return soon, he decided to take the kids back in. At first it was awkward taking care of them without Sumire around. However, it didn't take long for him to grow attached to them. Especially Satomi, he has always been fond of the young boy from the moment Sumire came to live with him.
