Chapter 1 Michiru's point of view

As I was staring at my own reflection in the mirror I let my aqua colored hair loose I watch as it cascaded down my shoulders in beautiful waves . My hands touch the soft fabric of the crystal green dress that I would be wearing that I hope is not to much for the place I would be meeting my parents at

I smiled.

It had been a while since I had dinner together with them. They were always to busy and as much as I wanted to spend my time with them, It just wasn't possible. And at my age I was too old for whining and my parents would have disapproved of such childish actions. I try not to think about the fact that I had been eating dinner alone for the last 5 years. It was so odd when I thought about it. I have been living with my parents, under the same roof yet I rarely see them.

But today was different and I had many things that I wanted to discuss with my parents tonight . I hope they had time for me.

"Miss Kaioh, the car is ready

My eyes landed on the mirror once again. I hope everything would be okay tonight. I grabbed my purse and walked to the door. Outside the residence, I spotted the driver who stood motionless next to the car which immediately grabbed my attention, Yes the sleek black audi was defiantly hard to miss.

"I'll drive for tonight," I said to the driver who immediately handed the car key to me.

I had a feeling in my stomach that I would be vulnerable after tonight and I would rather spend my time alone in the car than having someone judging me through the rearview mirror.

As the only child of Kaioh family, I had everything. Power, money, fame... as long as I could remember anyone who heard my family's name would be afraid, intimidated, or angry. None of them were happy event though they were probably smiling .I'm so used to seeing that tight lipped fake smile, I could hardly tell the difference any more. Being a Kaioh child also meant that I had everything handed to me on a golden platter. I had it easy since I was born and everyone around me loved me... at least that was how it appeared to me.

As I arrived at the restaurant, I spotted my parents car first, I took a deep breath before exiting the car

"Good evening, Miss Kaioh." A waiter greeted me at the entrance. I wouldn't be surprised if my parents had reserved the entire restaurant for this evening. My curiosity was laid to rest when I saw that the rest of the tables were empty except the one in the middle.

Unsettling feelings emerged when I saw that both father and mother were not alone at the table. Someone was accompanying them. From where I was standing, it looked like a young man with a polished black tux on

"Father, mother." I greeted them first.

My mother looked up first, she smiled and gestured for me to sit next to her.

"Hi, darling. How are you?" My mother kissed me on the cheek like she always did since I was little. I didn't hate it.

"Wonderful." I replied knowing that if I answered differently they wouldn't bother to ask me further. I glanced to my father who just nodded at me and my mother. As if receiving a secret message thru just eye contact, my mother patted my arm.

"We invited you to this dinner tonight because your father and I wanted to discussed something with you."

It was always like this. I shouldn't be surprised but I could only smile that same tight lipped smile I hated so much. Seemed like my plan to have a simple nice dinner with my parents wasn't going to happen.

"What is it mother?"

This time my father answered, "Tonight I want to introduce you with a colleague of mine who will soon be our family business partner."

The young man with the slick black hair and neat tux suddenly grinned. I disliked him in a instant.

"My name is Ryuichiro Kohei. It's a pleasure to finally meet the gorgeous women I keep hearing about, Kaioh-san." He introduced himself. I noticed how his eyes kept concentrating on anything but my face while he said the word 'gorgeous' .

I had to remind myself to smile

"Michiru, I hope you don't mind that we didn't tell you beforehand about this meeting." My mother said. She was the only one who seemed concern about my feeling at the table.

In all Honestly, I do mind but I couldn't voice my real opinion so I went with the better choice. "It's okay, mother." I lied.

As I spent dinner in silence I never even bothered to listen to my parent and the guy's conversation. Tonight was the perfect opportunity for me to talk with my parents and now it's all ruined thanks to some random stranger.

"Michiru." My mother whispered to me. "What do you think about Ryuichiro-kun?"

I looked toward the guy and made one quick assessment, "neat."

"Just that?" She seemed surprised.

I don't know what else my mother had expected from me but that was my honest opinion. He was just like all the other rich cocky guy I met everyday.

"Yes." I confirmed.

After dinner, the guy excused himself. I wasn't sure why but Ryuichiro winked at me when he shook my hand. If his intention was to flirt I would say that it had failed miserably.

"So, Michiru... what do you think about Ryuichiro-san?" This time father asked. I didn't understand why both my parents wanted my opinion of him so bad.

"He is..." I searched for better answer than 'neat' since my father was probably looking for a more appropriate answer then the one I gave my mother. "Fine..." I continued, I mentally slapped myself wow great answer (note the sarcasim).

"That's great." He smiled. "I will arrange your next meeting with him then. You both should get used to each other."

Wait, what?

"Father, what do you mean?" I said confused.

He turned to my mother with a questioning look. My mother just shrugged while smiling and trying and failing miserably to hide her…..sadness?

"Soon, you will be 23 years old my dear..." My mother said. She patted my arm again. "Do you remember that at that age you will officially become the heiress of the Kaioh family? You" cannot escape your obligation to be the next chairman of Kaioh corporation. Your father has arranged a position for you... but ... you are a woman, your father is worried whether you can do it alone...

"I can." It was very unusual of me to cut my mother's speech off but I hate the direction this conversation was going.

"No you can't. After your graduation you rejected to work at my company because you were so busy doing music and arts which I might add is not the why to insure your future. The only reason we gave you some slack was because you were still young, but now you are an adult." My father didn't even flinch once as he continued talking. "It's time to take some responsibility for your life. And you can start by taking the next step and getting married."

NO!

As I listened and tried to understand what my parents were trying to say. They were being unreasonable!

"NO, father! I don't want to marry! If you want me to take over the company, I'll do my best! But I will not get married !"

"I have discussed this with your mother... our decision is final."

My betrayed filed eyes flew to my mother . This was absolute nonsense. How could they decide something like this without even asking how I felt about it. My mind suddenly filed with Memories from my childhood, how I have been trying to live up their expectation everyday I was filed with anger! I had work so hard to excel in everything, study, sports, music, art, attitudes, everything a Kaioh should do and have, I tried my best every day! But now I see, no matter how good I was, my parents would always expect more... never once had they asked me if I am happy if this is what I want, But this marriage was the last straw! I knew that no matter how hard I screamed or refused this time, they would never care.

A tear escaped from my eye and with a faltering smile I said.

"You know what... I'm done with this." I grabbed my purse, and rushed out of the restaurant.

When I finally reached my home, I ran directly toward my room. Luckily my parents hadn't arrived yet so I should do it quickly.

I packed everything in sight into one bag. I knew my parents were serious and I could never change their mind. So, the only option that remained.

I needed to go, run away from them. From home . From this lie .

I didn't know where , to I just wanted to run away from everything and everyone at this moment.
