"Davi Darling come over."

The mesmerizing words travelled from Sei's mouth to caress Davi's ears and she froze in place. Somewhere in her foggy and dazed consciousness, she heard the words echoing in her mind. 'Darling darling darling'

She stared at Sei's general direction, her eyes unseeing, her instincts still wary of the dangerous animalistic aura coming from his general direction. But the voice that was like a sweet song was like a strong irresistibly sweet scent luring her.

"Davi Darling come over," Sei said again, deliberately saying the words like a hypnotist trying to send his client to sleep.

Involuntarily, Davi took a step towards Sei. Hinari, Ryou, Zaki and Sei all held their breath as they watched Davi take that step. Sei was relieved that he seemed to be making progress so he inched forward, slowly but surely.

The dangerous aura that surrounded Sei was unleashed from him the moment he saw his beloved Davi in this state. His need to protect his woman caused this dangerous aura to blaze out, which Davi instinctively felt in her dazed condition. It was meant to deter everyone else in the vicinity from getting close to Davi but he realized at this moment that this was also stopping Davi from getting closer to him. Thus, as soon as he saw Davi move toward him, he suppressed his raging aura and tried giving off a feeling of safety and warmth.

Sei then smiled trying to make her feel his longing to hold her. And after a moment, Davi seemed to finally felt his intimidating aura fading slowly and she relaxed a little, even though she seemed like she's still very much alert to any surrounding dangers.

Davi continued moving towards Sei like a hypnotized beast. The way she moved that moment was like a movie in slow motion.

Her journey towards him was heart stopping, it was a scene where no one dared make a move for fear that she would run away once startled.

Sei had planned to capture her once she lowered her guard against him but he didn't expect that Davi would voluntarily walk toward him. Because of that he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. His heart was beating wildly with excitement and gladness that his dear wife would always submit herself to him even when she was not fully conscious.

Sei that moment felt his heart turned into marshmallows and his complexion drastically brightened as if he was about to capture a star in heaven.

When Davi eventually reached him, Sei immediately yanked her into his embrace and like a beast who suddenly turned into an obedient puppy, Davi's dangerous aura dissipated as if she was exorcised and the evil spirit possessing her disappeared from existence at his touch.

She felt his warmth and all she wanted was to fall into a deep slumber.

She drastically weakened in Sei's embrace as if the man turned off a button, causing Davi to close her eyes.

At that moment, Hinari walked closer to them on unstable legs, trembling with fear. She knew that Sei might really not forgive her this time for putting Davi into danger. She didn't even know if she could forgive herself. She knew that even if this was never her intention, she couldn't change the fact that Davi was nearly harmed and became like this because she had brought her here.

Hinari was bitting her lip hard. She didn't walk to seek help from Zaki, either. It was because Hinari was well aware that there was no one more important to Zaki than Sei. She knew that there was no way Zaki could protect her this time when it was against his brother. After all, she was just Zaki's fiance by name and nothing more. She was no one important and so this is on her and she would endure this punishment on her own.

With trembling lips, Hinari walked passed Zaki and walked straight towards Sei, who still held Davi in his embrace.

"I-I'm so sorry. Th-this is my fault. I'm sorry. I will accept any punishment you give me but please, don't feed me to crocodiles. You can just throw me into the river if you want." She pleaded as her hands clenched her shirt. She was obviously so scared and Sei who was caressing Davi raised his eyes to look at her.

"P-please, don't feed me to crocodiles." She again pleaded as soon as Sei looked at her.

However, before Sei could speak, Davi seemed to be startled awake as she heard Hinari's words and immediately opened her eyes. She turned and when she saw Hinari, she suddenly moved towards her and hugged her as if she wanted to protect her dear friend.

"Who dares to want to feed my Hinari to crocodiles? Tell me and I will hit them and feed them to the crocodiles instead!" she asked with a vicious look in her eyes and Sei was stunned.

Sei: ""

Hinari: ""

Hinari was experiencing a mixture of emotions and she didn't know whether she should celebrate or not. Here was her friend, someone she could count on through thick and thin, defending her fiercely even though this situation happened because of her in the first place. She was so touched that tears started to form in the corner of her eyes.

However, in the end, Hinari, still feeling emotional, calculated and thought of the least destructive outcome from this current situation. What would happen to her if she said to Davi that it was Sei that was threatening to feed her to the crocodiles? She would be crazy to do that, right?

Deeply anxious about the situation, Hinari looked at Davi and when she noticed that she wasn't in that monstrous state anymore, she quietly breathed in relief.

"Tell me, who is it?!" Davi asked again, her drunken self was getting out of control that she suddenly held Hinari's chin as she asked, causing Hinari to jolt because she felt a sudden surge of deadly coldness from the man behind Davi.

So in the end, because of her fear, a lie slip out of her lips uncontrollably.

"I-it's Zaki," she said and Davi's gaze turned towards Zaki instantly.

Zaki: ""
