Meanwhile, the couple in the courtyard looked at each other with a confused look. Zaki kept glancing at the familiar cuff in his hand and surprise was evident in his eyes while Hinari looked like she finally remembered about her back-up plan. She was too engrossed with Zaki and his confession that everything just disappeared in her mind. Ahh!! How could I forget the existence of my special little partner who was diligently keeping on the watch until now?!

Hinari face palmed. She couldn't believe that she totally forgot that the precious little prince was waiting and watching them all this time. What if I couldn't resist myself a while ago and attacked my beauty with kisses while little Shin was watching?! Oh god, Hinari!

The big boss oozing with a dark aura accompanied by a crocodile appeared in Hinari's head and she couldn't help but shudder. Gosh! That was close! Don't worry big brother in law, the great, little Shin didn't see us when we kissed on the bench since it was dark at that spot!

While Hinari was deep in her thoughts, Zaki creased his brow. He was sure that this was the very same chain he gave to Davi many years ago so he could only deduce that this might be Davi's idea. However, he knew that Davi was very busy at the moment that she wasn't even able return home so how could she be the one behind this? Was it Sei? But Sei was with him the entire time. When did he had the time to instruct little Shin to wait for them in the courtyard with the chains ready?

As Zaki eliminated the possibilities that this was Sei's or Davi's idea, his gaze could only fall back to Hinari.

"You asked little Shin to do this?" he then asked and when Hinari pouted, Zaki could already tell that he was right.

"I was just being cautious." Hinari started explaining. "I was afraid that you might still decide to part ways with me so I thought about a plan B. I asked little bun to rescue me if anything went wrong."

As expected, Zaki thought about the same reason. He knew how pessimistic Hinari was so this move was just so her.

Sighing, Zaki raised his other hand and patted her head softly. "But when did things go wrong?"

"Err I think, little Shin misunderstood. He might have thought that something bad happened when I cried. Haha." Hinari was smiling wide as she spoke. "He didn't know that it was a cry of joy."

"Really what you did was risky. I can't imagine what Sei would do to us if you failed to behave a while ago."

"Hehe it's okay with me, though. Even if big brother in law, the great will feed us to the crocodiles, as long as I'm with you, everything is fine. Hehe."

". . ."

"And wasn't this the reason why you kept stopping my advances? You sensed someone's presence the moment you brought me here, right?"

"Well" Zaki rubbed the back of his neck with his hand as he looked around. "It's not just little Shin. I believe Sei might have sent Kaide or Ryou to spy on us."

"Ehh?!"

"Anyway, where did you get this chain?" Zaki finally returned his attention to the cuff in their hands.

"Davi gave it to me."

"How about the key?"

"I gave it to little Shin."

". . ."

Somehow, Zaki could already tell where was this going. He couldn't sense anyone's presence anymore. It was as if, everyone left the moment little Shin cuffed their hands.

Zaki looked at the door towards the living room and he started feeling his face getting hot.

"I think everyone left us alone now. Sei might have even locked all the doors outside taking the key with him before leaving with everyone." Zaki uttered a bit shyly and Hinari's eyes widened.

"Really? You think your big brother, the great did that?!"

"Well, that is something he would definitely do."

"Wahh! Really?!" What Zaki said seemed a bit too good to be real that Hinari couldn't believe it. "No way! Let me go and take a look!"

Hinari then pulled Zaki and they both hastily walked inside the house. The living room was so silent and felt suddenly deserted. Hinari then went straight to the entrance and tried opening the door and she was astounded when it was really locked.

"Beauty i-it's really locked!" she stammered. She couldn't believe that that cold looking big brother in law, the great, of hers was so damn considerate and supportive like this! This was such a shock for her. She never thought that this big boss would offer his little brother like this to her! Oh god big boss you're the best!!

Hinari felt thrilled as her heart started beating wildly. However, the man beside her seemed to have misunderstood her when she stammered.

His hand was still on his own shoulder as he gazed at the floor to ceiling glass window. "A-are you feeling uncomfortable?" he suddenly asked and Hinari turned as she looked at him with a questioning look.

"I mean this thing won't be uncuffed without the key and I don't think Sei will return and open the house tonight." He continued and Hinari raised a brow. "But don't worry. There's nothing for you to be afraid of."

While Zaki was speaking shyly, Hinari pressed her lips tight. Oh god, my innocent beauty is so seductive! Why does he still feel shy like this after all the silly things that happened between us? Did he forget that we already touched each other's most embarrassing part?! Ahh, this guy, how could he be so cute?!

Unable to hold back anymore, Hinari suddenly pulled Zaki's collar. "Hey beauty I truthfully don't understand what you are talking about. Who said I'm uncomfortable? Who said I'm afraid?" she asked in her seductive tone and Zaki blinked.

"You stammered and seemed shock so I thought-"

"Hehe well, you've got it wrong, my love. I'm stammering because of my excitement. I can finally devour you whole tonight!"

Zaki: ". . . ?!!!"
