Loud music and laughter echoed through the luxurious hall, but to you, none of that mattered. His eyes were fixed on Itoshi Sae, who was on the other side of the party, his presence unmistakable. Your heart skipped a beat when you saw him there, and a feeling of panic and desire washed over you.

You turned away from your husband, disguising your nervousness with a forced smile, and crossed the room, dodging guests and waiters. When he reached Itoshi, he didn't hesitate. He took him by the arm and pulled him into a dark corridor, away from prying eyes. The door closed behind you with a soft click.

He looked at her in surprise, his intense gaze reflected in the dim light. “What are you doing here?!”, you demanded, your voice shaking a little, mixing shock with a hint of indignation.

Itoshi remained silent for a moment, his eyes still locked on yours. He looked just as confused as you. “I could ask the same thing,” he replied, his voice low and controlled.
