Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: The Fickleness of Fate

This was Yuu's first time handling a "four-person orbit." Between the chaos and the desire to test his limits, he had missed the window to resolve the mental blocks of the mother and eldest daughter. Now that they were in a coma-like sleep, he had to wait.

Given the massive drain on their stamina, he wasn't sure how long they would be out. His "Deep Sleep" talent helped those sleeping with him recover faster, so they likely wouldn't sleep through the whole next day. Serena and Tomoko could afford to sleep in, but if Ayako—the head of the house—didn't show up, there would be trouble.

Yuu set an alarm for 9:00 AM. That gave him about three hours of sleep, which was plenty for him. If things got messy, he'd wake Ayako up. If a maid walked in and saw the four of them naked and entangled, the scandal would be legendary.

At 9:00 AM sharp, Yuu woke up. As expected, there was a stir among the staff. Ayako was a woman of habit; early to rise was part of her beauty regimen. Late nights were anathema to her skin. Fortunately, while 9:00 was late, the maids weren't yet bold enough to break into her room.

Yuu woke Ayako and told her to make an appearance. When the maids saw the chairwoman emerging from Serena's room, they were surprised but didn't dare ask questions, assuming it was a mother-daughter bonding session. As for Yuu, the maids wouldn't gossip even if they knew he had stayed in Serena's room. They valued their high-paying jobs too much to risk them on idle talk.

After dismissing the staff and pushing her schedule for the day, Ayako returned to the room. The sharp, distinctive scent of the night's activities made her wrinkle her nose. She looked at the bed, where Yuu lay like an emperor with his favorite concubines, Tomoko and Serena tucked under each arm.

Looking at their naked bodies and the wreckage of the battlefield, Ayako's memories of the night flooded back. She touched her still-distended abdomen, worrying about pregnancy, only to find her lower half beginning to leak that fragrant, sweet fluid again.

"Nngh..." her face flushed. She was ashamed of her body's "filthy" reaction. Mentally, she regretted her impulsiveness, but her conquered body screamed for more of Yuu's presence.

"Hoshimiya-kun..." Ayako said in a low voice, looking at her sleeping daughters. "Let's pretend last night never happened."

She wasn't just talking about herself; she was trying to erase Tomoko's involvement as well. Yuu saw the look in her eyes and understood immediately. Had he forced them, he might have accepted. But now?

Yuu sat up and walked to Ayako, grabbing her smooth chin. "Auntie Ayako, you and your daughters belong to me now. You don't get to call the shots."

The dominant words made the chairwoman tremble. She almost collapsed into his arms then and there. She missed the pleasure, but Yuu was her daughter's boyfriend... she tried to summon her cold, professional aura.

"Hoshimiya-kun, please let go... mmmph!"

Halfway through her sentence, her mouth was occupied. Yuu gripped her chin firmly, silencing her. Ayako glared at him, her eyes flashing with a mix of fury and something else. Yuu studied her for a moment, then chuckled. She was a master actress, better than the professionals. If it weren't for the system panel showing her favorability was still maxed out, he might have been fooled.

Condition 2—"Filled with Love"—was still met. Ayako was deeply attached to him; she was just trying to use her authority to force him to "behave" because of their complicated relationship. Or perhaps she was simply so "full" that she thought she could afford to be defiant.

Knowing her true heart, Yuu wasn't intimidated. He didn't let go; instead, he began to strip her of the clothes she had just put on. "Auntie Ayako, I prefer the honest version of you from last night."

Since she was being dishonest, he would have to put in the work to make her "honest" again. A heart-to-heart wasn't enough; he needed a body-to-body.

Feeling the heat against her belly, Ayako's eyes widened in genuine terror. He's ready again? It's only been a few hours! Yet, she didn't notice that she instinctively swallowed. Her body was far more honest than her words. Her legs parted without resistance for "Little Yuu." Even though her "flower valley" was still slightly sore, it welcomed the returning dragon with open arms.

She kept crying out "No!" and "Stop!", but combined with her proactive, welcoming body, it only served to egg him on.

The noise eventually woke the sisters. Seeing her daughters awake made Ayako even more sensitive, and she quickly crumbled, begging for mercy. The idea of "pretending it never happened" was never mentioned again. When you're being used as a toy in front of your children, you lose the right to speak of dignity.

With the sisters awake and Ayako "tamed," Yuu took the opportunity to finalize the contracts. The sisters didn't resent their mother; Serena wanted allies, and Tomoko was a "thieving cat" herself. Once the air was cleared, Tomoko was freed from her political marriage—Ayako wouldn't force her into it now, regardless of the contract.

Thus, Tomoko's third condition was met. All major members of the Suzuki family were now contracted. In a sense, Yuu now owned the Suzuki Group. This was why he had contracted Ayako and Tomoko even though they weren't "Destiny Characters"—they were the keys to the kingdom.

Wealth and freedom had arrived in the most unexpected way. He had come to the Suzuki manor to please Serena, and he had left as the shadow ruler of Japan's greatest conglomerate. Such is the fickleness of fate.
