It'll Come Naturally

On the drive to the Ke Mansion, Rain was organizing his thoughts for the coming confrontation. The drive was painfully dull. In order to save Tiana, Rain decided he needed to come back to the wretched place which he had vowed never to step on in his entire life.

Moreover, he had to face the disgusting "family members" of Tiana and him.

When he first came about the news that his little sister had been taken back to the Ke mansion by her family, he stayed up late to think hard for a reasonable excuse to help her out, but even he failed. It was only with the unexpected help of the Mayfly did he obtain the damning evidence he needed. This was his smoking gun. So here he was in front of the Ke's, waiting to pull the trigger.

"Hmph! It's you, Rain." Vance said his name in his most venomous tone. "If I remember correctly, didn't you vow never to step into our house ever again? So why the hell are you here again? What brought you here, huh? And in case you still don't know, that spot you're standing on right now belongs to the Ke's. It's our place, not yours," Vance scoffed at Rain as soon as he saw him. It annoyed Vance greatly that no matter when and where they met, Rain always had the aura of a real prince, whose noble features and elegance were so strong that they radiated around him, and anybody would always look twice.

"Oh! You think I'm willing to stand in your house? If it weren't for Tiana, I would never have allowed myself to be in such a filthy place," Rain replied calmly but scornfully. He was no longer so easily irritated by these unimportant people and their lies. As he looked up around the huge living room, he realized the Ke's place had changed drastically over the years. The wallpapers had changed, and even the floorboards weren't as polished as they used to be. One thing that had never changed, though, was that the people who called this place home were still and always would be disgusting to him.

"Well, well, well. It seems that Tiana's effort finally paid off. I'd never have expected your highness to come here and be with us common people in such a filthy place," Eugenia said in a sarcastic tone. Her words were thinly veiled insults that hurled at Rain.

"I'm not here to listen to your bullshit. Where's Tiana? I want to see her now," Rain replied coldly, completely ignoring Eugenia's mockery. He wouldn't even look at her if he could help it.

"She's my daughter, remember? Why should I listen to your requests? We're not all at your beck and call, your highness," Sheena smirked and asked, eyeing him with utter contempt. Every time she saw Rain, she saw his mother - Fiona. He was almost a perfect replica of her, which was evident in his chiseled features. As Sheena remembered how beautiful Fiona had been, all she could feel was resentment to her, and to her even more brilliant son.

"It's well within your rights to refuse my request, this is your house after all. Though, I have something here that you should really be interested in," Rain answered calmly. His face a mask of indifference. In a swift motion, he took out a recording pen from his pocket. As he pressed the play button, the recording pen immediately played a conversation between a man and a woman. Their voices reverberated across the hall.

"If you can kill the woman for us while making it look like an accident, then this ten million dollar cheque is yours," a woman's voice said from the recording pen. It was obvious to everyone in the room that the voice belonged to Sheena. Even though Rain hadn't been there at the time of the recording, he could picture in his head how vicious Sheena had been when those words left her mouth.

"Yes, Mrs. Ke. I'll take care of it. You can count on me. But I just have one more request. If something happens to me while doing this job, would you please take care of my family for me?" a man's scruffled voice could be heard. Judging from the quality of his voice, it wasn't hard to tell that he was in his late forties. But it wasn't determined yet whether he was the driver who had been killed in the car accident the other day.

"Yes, yes. You don't have to worry about anything! As long as you finish the job perfectly, both you and your family will be set for life. I'm sure you'll get all that you deserve," Sheena's chilling voice came again. Ordering someone's death like that could always rock the listener to the core. As soon as Sheena's voice from the recording pen finished her words, Rain pressed the stop button and in a swift motion, tucked it in the secret pocket of his suit jacket. He did so quickly that Sheena, who already pounced on him in rage, had no chance to take it from his hands.

"Impossible! You little bastard, where did you synthesize the voices? Who did you ask to help you edit this? The woman from the recording pen is definitely not me!" Sheena cursed madly, her tone frantic. Her voice was raised to the point that it broke. But deep inside, past the rage and fury, she was panicked and felt anxious on how Rain obtained that recording. She could only mask the fear with her anger for now. She delivered a flurry of blows at Rain like a rabid animal, in futile hopes of taking the recording pen. However, Rain dodged expertly without even breaking a swear, his face a mask of calm.

"You said this wasn't you, but why are you so defensive and nervous?" Rain asked casually with a menacing smile on his face. He had got her. He was so sure of it. No matter how hard and how clever she hid the truth, there would always be a sliver of evidence left behind. This allowed him to track her and catch her by the tail eventually.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"What the hell are you talking about? I'm not nervous at all, you little bastard. If you think you can threaten me with one stupid recording, that's where you're wrong!" Sheena denied quickly, her voice quivering. All her body language betrayed her true feelings though. Her erratic movements became more and more apparent. She was sweating like a pig by now. All her strikes on him were in vain so far, so she felt the urge to act more ferociously. She flailed at Rain and attacked crazily with increased intensity.

"Stop! You stand down if you don't want the police involved! I will not hesitate for even a second to send you to the precinct if you continue to be violent," Rain's voice boomed. The command echoed around the chamber. He was losing patience because he got hit a few times. Seeing that Sheena was becoming more and more unreasonable, he got mad too.000000000000
