As I lay in bed I stare up at the ceiling while letting my mind wander, thinking about the day.

(Flashback)

After Kadachi walks out of the room Kaito tosses me an envelope and I casually pick it up to examine it.

"This will be your first mission, are you sure you are ready?"

I smile and nod feeling happy about finally being accepted.

"Of course I'm ready."

Kaito frowns.

"When are you planning on telling him?"

I sigh while sticking the envelope into a hidden pocket in my dress.

"I...I don't know if I should Kaito..."

I clench my fists and Kaito chuckles.

"Do you remember what my master said?"

I thought back about it and nodded remembering the scene in my head.

(It was soon after I was released...Kaito came over with his master when Kadachi was away.)

    (Two Days before the event)As I clean up after breakfast I hear Kadachi walk in while talking on the phone."No, I haven't gotten any updates on my end what about yours?" (Sure seems like business is booming for him lately-)*Ding Dong*"Hmm?"I quickly dry my hands off and walk to the front door to open it.(Kadachi didn't say anyone would be coming over today I wonder who it could be this early in the morning.)As I open the door my heart sinks as I see two men in black suits standing there with badges showing."Hello, Miss. Kairi Sheng we're Federal agents here to speak with you and your Fiancee-"Just then I feel a presence behind me and I look over my shoulder to find Kadachi already behind me."What does the FAI want this time, huh Todo Shi?"Just then another man with a black long coat walks out from behind the other two men, he has slick black hair and slender dark green eyes, as he spits out his half-burned cigarette onto the ground and scratches his scruffy-looking face

    A few hours go by of me silently thinking in my room as Kadachi went about his daily business, I flip through the file the detective had left scanning over every little detail. (The evidence they collected was little to nothing it seems. The only DNA they have is some skin cells from under my nails and even just that theirs so little of it they can only test it once, I'm sure they'd save it but...) The deep green eyes flash through my mind as I tighten my grip around the papers. (Someone I know with green eyes such as those, it's a chilling feeling to think that someone I'm close to might have done this...) I sigh and lay the folder onto the desk. (A baby huh...) I lay my hand over my scar while still in thought. (I wonder what life we could be having right now if you weren't savagely ripped away from me.) (A few days later.) A few days goes by and during that time Kadachi willingly Invited me to the event I needed to go to which made it easier to focus on my plan. (First I h

  • The Icy Prominent CEO and His Brave Wife   My Life

    For the past 17 years of my life, I have seen everything but at the same time nothing. As I think about those deep dark thoughts I could hear the soft sounds of my mother and father's voice behind my door discussing something I hadn't cared to listen in on. Curled up under my blanket with nothing to do other than think, my mind always went back on all of the painful memories of my life. I tried to think about the good times but there were no good times to think about. I sigh and lay my arm over my eyes, the shackles on my arms and legs clink together as I move around but it was a noise I was well used to. (I wonder if it's day or night out, maybe father and mother will tell me this time, Maybe I should ask if I can see the sky if it's day out that would be nice.) That thought made me happy for a moment until the door swings open. I sit up to see mother and father standing in the doorway looking a bit uneasy. "Maybe we should just take the offer, there's no wa

    After everyone left the banquet Mr. and Mrs. Sheng bid their farewells as well. They hand me a sheet of paper with their address and phone numbers on it. Mrs. Sheng smiles softly before speaking. "Your father says you do not have a cell phone yet, Take this and you can reach us wherever you need anything, In a few days you can move in and meet Kadachi!" I nod with a slight smile. "Thank you, Mrs. Sheng, You guys have a good night." With that said they take their leave and i'm led back to my bedroom where my parents and younger sister are waiting for me. My sister Rin wore a disgusted face upon seeing me enter the room. Her mid-short blond hair was straight and her golden eyes went well with her top-brand Louis dress that is black. Rin rolls her eyes and points directly at me. "So what now? Who am I supposed to marry I thought you said I would marry before this trash!" Our mother sighs and gives Rin a sympathetic look. "The Shengs said they would only allow the eldest dau

    Upon stepping out of the car im awed by the sight in front of me that had a huge white stone villa with surrounding gardens and walkways that looked like they led in various directions. The entire place was closed off by a large black fence and everything was stunning. Kota grabs my luggage and leads me inside where Mr. and Mrs. Sheng we're waiting. Mrs. Sheng instantly gave me a warm hug. "Oh, I am so very happy that we got you out of that house my poor child!" Dumbstruck by what she had said I immediately stuttered as I spoke. "I...Um...I-What are you..." Mrs. Sheng pulls away a bit but still holds onto me. She smiles as she speaks and her tone was soft and kind. "I know you probably do no recognize me but I was your biological mother's best friend! You were so young when we met I don't blame you if you can't remember. Anyways back to the point. We all know what was happening behind those doors, I made a promise long ago that when you came of age we would bring you here by

    After our long talk, everyone decided to go get ready for the evening. Mrs. Sheng had sent me with Kota to choose some new clothes and necessities. Kota seemed to be in a good mood and hummed to the song that was playing over the radio while I stared out the window watching the scenery fly by. (I wonder why I can't remember some things, I never felt like I was missing any piece of my memories till today.) I kept thinking about the situation and all of the possibilities over and over in my head till the car came to a stop. Kita opens the door for me and I step out to see a big main brand store in front of me. I couldn't help but feel anxious knowing that whatever is in that store would be expensive. Kota seemed to see my off expression and pats my back. "Mrs. Sheng sent me with her card and said to practically force you to buy whatever you want in this store so when if you just look at something ill but it." Shocked by the response I gulped and scratched the back of my head nervo

    The night ended without any incident, Everyone went into their respective rooms to get some sleep, I change into my nightgown and step out onto the balcony that is connected to my room. Under the moonlight, I perch my arms on top of the railing and rest my head on them while looking up at the sky. It was a beautiful night and I took in every moment looking up at the beautiful moon and dark sky streaked with shiny stars. With the peaceful breeze rushing across my body it felt amazing to finally be free. My worries seemed to blow away whenever I stood in the fresh air, it felt so relieving. I smile to myself until I felt like someone was watching me I quickly look around but see no one. Still feeling odd about it I decide to go back in and lock the balcony doors before climbing into bed. That night I fall asleep peacefully but soon I felt uneasy, the dream I was dreaming was realistic. It was memories from over the years and it made me feel as if I was reliving them all in a

    A few hours pass and I finally finish my daily tasks. Soon it was time for lunch and Kadachi comes out of his office in big strides. He stops next to me and I look up at him awkwardly."Come eat lunch with me, I want to show you this new restaurant that just opened."I look back at my purse then back up at him. He seemed to know what I was worried about before I could even voice it."I'm covering the bill so don't worry about the cost let's go."(Kadachi seems very nice, I can't even imagine the ruthless side that everyone else has spoken about.)I nod and stand up. Just as I do I feel Kadachi's hand fall on my lower back and immediately tense up feeling uncomfortable. He had begins to lead me out(His hand is on my back...What to do...what do I say?)'Kadachi's Thoughts'(It seems she doesn't like to be physically touched. Maybe I should hold off on being to physical for right now till she can get used to me.)'Back to Kairi'I feel him take his hand away as he walks alongside me.

    The following few months go by pretty fast as I try to settle back into my normal life routine, I also picked up a class on self-defense as Kadachi begins work again, His father took back charge in the company until Kadachi was ready to return which made it easier for Kadachi to return.I smile, feeling better knowing Kadachi is ok with work and lean back into the leather chair making it squeak. The woman in front of me hands me a sheet of paper."Try these at home in your alone time when you feel at your safest and after a while when you're ready you will remember, now it's not one hundred percent guaranteed-"I interrupt her."I know, but it's a start.

    Upon waking up I notice the lights are dim and it was night outside. I sit up and notice in the corner of the room Kadachi, peacefully asleep in a chair with paperwork on his lap.I feel a sense of warmth knowing he is here and smile to myself. (He must be very busy since he's been spending his time here with me, maybe I can help him with his paperwork!)I silently walk over to him picking up the papers in his lap, as I scan over them a feeling of dread washes over me.(What is this? Why is he signing all of his rights to the company away and to who??)Just then I see movement out of the corner of my eye and look up to see Kadachi rubbing his eyes as he looks up at me looking confused."Kairi? Why are you up right now?"I nervously and awkwardly laugh."Umm well, I wanted to try to help you with your paperwork but when I went to go over it I realized it wasn't meant for me to read I'm sorry…"

Why can't I remember anything after her passing?)Just then a nurse walks in and is stunned for a second before finally smiling warmly at me."Oh how wonderful! You have woken you it's nice to see you again Mrs. Sheng!"I try to talk but my voice wouldn't come out, I place my hand over my throat."Oh dear."She sits down on the bed next to me and takes my hand into hers."Your throat was hurt but is still healing, you may not be able to speak for a while until then though. Do you remember what happened?"I stare at her innocently and shake my head."You were in a car accident."We hear a man's voice and both of us look up to see Kadachi standing in the doorway of the room, I couldn't help but s

    Once I realize it was just Kaito I nod and he releases me, by that time Kadachi had already walked off."Well, what are you doing out here spying on your soon-to-be husband?"I blush and look away from his gaze."Well, to be honest, I'm not sure why either."Kaito chuckles before placing a jacket over my shoulders."Nonetheless you shouldn't walk around outside dressed so lightly or else you will get sick."I nervously nod."Ok, I'll take my leave then...Thank you."He smirks as I turn around and leave.(That was such an uncomfortable situation!

    They both look stunned at how Kadachi was acting. There was a long pause of silence among us until Rin tugged at her father's sleeve and bowed in front of me."Father has been having bad mood swings of late sister, I'm sure you're aware of his recent prognosis of Alzheimer's. Please forgive him for his recent cruel and disrespectful words he is just not himself."(Well this is unexpected...)I look around to see people starting to turn their attention over toward all of us.(She's putting on a show, I need to turn the tables.)I force myself to tear up."He has Alzheimer's?! Why wasn't I informed of this when it was diagnosed!"Kadachi buries my head into his chest and a familiar voice rings out among the crowd. "How disrespectful can you be coming here to bring bad news on such a beautiful day? This day wasn't meant for drama it's a day to rejoice in. You all should be ashamed of yourselves!"
