Prologue
Aoko was standing in front of the mirror putting the last touches on her hair before walking out of the room greeting Kazuha their Caretaker who was helping Aoko's brother to get ready
"Good morning mademoiselle " Aoko greeting, She usually calls her Mademoiselle as Kazuha lived in France when she was young
"Good morning" Kazuha greeted back
"Good morning sister" Mitsuhiko said
"Tidy up the room Mitsuhiko, your PJ's are on the floor " Aoko told him
"Come on" Kazuha said pointing at the room so he can go and tidy it
"I will do it after breakfast" Mitsuhiko said walking out of the room smiling before Kazuha stopped him by grabbing his arm
"No! Right now" Kazuha said and he huffed before going to his room which he shared with his sister since he was a kid
Now he is in middle school and she is in high school
Aoko went downstairs to the second floor seeing if anyone was there
"Ayako don't forget to water the flowers" Aoko heard Ayako's mom Chizu Saburu one of the maid yelling
"Okay" she heard Ayako answer who was one of the maids as well
When she made sure no one was on the second floor of the Mansion she went downstairs and saw Ayako
"I have watered the ones in my room" Aoko said
"Thank you" Ayako said smiling and went upstairs
Aoko opened the door which leads to the stairs of the ground floor where all the maids and the butler are who she also consider them as a family
"She keeps forgetting her duties even if I write them down" Chizu said to her husband who was cooking the Omelets and Aoko entered the kitchen smiling at them
"Good morning" She greeted cheerfully and they greeted her as well with Masato the butler pointing his finger at his cheek
Aoko walked to him and kissed him on the cheek, she considered him as her second father
"You are like a delight to me sugar" Masato said and she laughed and then when she was turning around to walk out of the kitchen she was about to bump into Midori another one of the maids
"Slowly" Midori said laughing and Aoko chuckled
"Don't forget the tea pot" Chizu said and Midori nodded
Aoko walked out of the kitchen and opened the back door and walked out of the Mansion to the garden of the house
She walked on the concrete floor so she won't ruin the garden to the stairs which lead to the second garden, yes their mansion was big and it was tiring to walk all this way but she loved it anyway and finally to the third garden where his father's workshop is , he likes spending time there most of the time
He was sitting making a sculpt when he turned around and saw his daughter grinning at him from outside the workshop
He covered the sculpt and invited her to come in
"Good morning dad" Aoko greeted her dad and kissed his cheek
"Good morning sweetheart" Heiji said kissing her cheek as well
"Show it to me dad please" Aoko said pleading looking at the covered sculpt
"No only after it's finished" He told her
"I want to see if it looks like me or not"
"I am doing my best but right now it looks like a skinny goat"
"Come on" Aoko chuckled, Heiji stood up and hugged his daughter and together they walked out of the workshop
"Your grandpa used to say so, remember?"
"But I don't want you to say that" Aoko whined
"Where is Mitsuhiko and mademoiselle ?" Heiji asked
"Mitsuhiko is making his bed" Aoko answered and the both walked to the garden
Mitsuhiko was making his bed when he heard the horn of a car, he ran to the balcony
"Kaito is here!" He exclaimed and Kazuha turned to him
"Kaito is here! Yes!" He said and then ran out of the room
"Mitsuhiko please calm down" Kazuha yelled after him and sighed
Kaito got out of the car taking his sunglasses off and turned around
"Hey Hakuba-kun give me the brown bag" He told Saguru
"Of course" Saguru said rolling his eyes mentally
"Kaito!" Kaito heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw Mitsuhiko running to him then jumping at him Kaito caught him and placed him on the ground
"My boy, how are you?" Kaito asked
"I am fine you?" Mitsuhiko answered
"I am fantastic" Kaito answered while messing with the teenager's hair
"You were supposed to come last week"
Kaito took the brown bag from Saguru and turned to Mitsuhiko
"A nice lady begged me not to go and I couldn't come so I extended my holiday" Kaito said grinning
"Was she that beautiful?" Mitsuhiko asked grinning
"Yes"
"What does she look like?an actress?" Mitsuhiko asked and Kaito laughed before he saw Kazuha standing smiling at them so he shut up
"Shhh Mitsuhiko Shame on you" Kaito said and then took Kazuha's hand and kissed it "Mademoiselle, comment allez-vous?" Kaito asked in perfect French
"Welcome home Kuroba-kun"
"I told you many times you can call me Kaito only, anyway It is nice to be here I have a lot of things to tell you" Kaito started "Paris was great, as always"
"I can imagine" Kazuha said
"Welcome home Kuroba-san" Ayako said as she was going downstairs after watering the plants
"How are you Saburu-chan?" Kaito answered and she answered him with a 'Fine'
"Are they in the garden?" Kaito asked
"Yes, Let's surpruise them" Mitsuhiko answered and took Kaito's hand
"Come on then" Kaito said and they walked out of the mansion
"Good morning Hakuba-kun" Mademoiselle said as she saw Saguru walking into the house with suitcases and walked away
"Here let me help you" Ayako said and went to take one of the bags "Oi, oi it is so heavy"
"Leave them I can handle them alone" saguru said
"Look who is here Look" Mitsuhiko said running into his father and sister, they turned around and saw Kaito waving at them
"Ohh Kaito" Heiji said and stood up
"Uncle" Kaito said and hugged his uncle
"I almost gave up on you, you switched your phone off and I was worried about you" Heiji said
"You should have called "
"You are right"
"If you didn't have a phone you should have used public phones or something " Aoko said rolling her eyes
Kaito walked to her and kissed her on the cheek
"Get away! Don't kiss me" Aoko said moving away
"Cranky " Kaito said smirking
"Mademoiselle please sit next to me" Aoko told Kazuha
"Come on don't start right away" Heiji said
"She is jealous because I was on a holiday" Kaito said
"You shouldn't say holiday because you are already on a holiday all year" Aoko said rolling her eyes
"Aoko" Her father warned
"He should stop calling me cranky"
"I call you cranky because you behave like a little child, Little cranky and spoilt "
"Come on sit down" Kazuha said
"presents first" Kaito said
"Did you get me what I wanted?" Mitsuhiko asked
"of course!"
"He probably borrowed it from one of the girls he met" Aoko said and they all laughed
"Here you go" Kaito said giving him a collection of books, Mystery book, science books, even novels
"Yes!" Mitsuhiko said and placed the books on the small table
"Uncle, that's for you" Kaito said giving his uncle a book about Sculpts
"Thank you Kaito" Heiji said taking the book
"Mademoiselle, I brought you these" Kaito said giving her some seeds of flowers "You can plant them here"
"That's very kind of you Kuroba-kun" Kazuha said
"I was planning to bring you some soil from France as well but I couldn't" Kaito said joking
"And last but not least, Cranky this is for you" Kaito said handing Aoko a doll and they laughed except her
"You are doing that on purpose!" Aoko said angrily
"You didn't like it?" Kaito asked jokingly and she sighed
"I am just kidding here I bought you some perfume " He said handing her the perfume and she pushed his hands away
"I don't want anything from you"
'You are breaking my heart" Kaito teased
Saguru walked to the Kitchen
"Come on I am sure you haven't eaten breakfast yet" Chizu said
"Here have it with us, would you like an Omelet?"Masato said
"Don't worry I will find something to eat" Saguru said smiling
"I will take care of it dad" Ayako said
"why didn't he come with a taxi?" Chizu asked
"He was broke again" Saguru shrugged "we even stopped at the florist's and I paid for the flowers"
"where did he send them?" Chizu asked
"To the Kudo's Mansion " Saguru answered
Azami the maid of the house went to open the door when she heard the bell ringing
"These are for Ran Kudo " the delivery man said
"Okay, thank you" Azami said and closed the door, she went upstairs to Ran's room
Ran was looking at her wedding dress daydreaming, today she is going to get married, to the love of her life
She heard a knock on the door
"come in" She said and Azami opened the door
"These flowers are for you " She said and placed them on the table
"Okay" Ran said shifting uncomfortably because she knew too damn well who sent them
She walked to the flowers and took the card to see who sent it
She rolled her eyes, of course it was him Kaito
Flashback
"I have read in the papers that you are going to get married " Kaito said
"yes I am" Ran answered coldly
"With that guy" Kaito said
"with Eisuke, yes, I am in a hurry so bye" Ran said and turned around
Kaito grabbed her hands "That marriage won't help you forget me" He whispered
"You are a history now"
"We will see about it, you will be all over me whenever you want" Kaito said smirking
End of flashback
"Jerk!" Ran said tearing the card into pieces and throwing them on the floor
"I missed Tokyo" Kaito said
"Tokyo or the beautiful girls in here?" Mitsuhiko asked
"Shhh"
"Come on Mitsuhiko-kun time for Piano practice " Kazuha said
"Can't we forget about it today? Please Kaito is here"
"What did we agree on? Everyday during the summer come on" Mitushiko huffed but obyed her anyway and together they walked to the Piano practice room
"Did you go the address I told you about?" Aoko asked
"Actually he moved to South France years ago" Kaito answered
"You are lying"
"I swear I checked he left and didn't leave any address "
"Why doesn't he call his daughter what kind of men is he?" Aoko asked her dad
"Don't say that in front of her" Heiji said
"I won't, she doesn't know I took the address anyway"
"Anyway are we going to the wedding?" Kaito asked
"You are going too?" Aoko asked
"I don't think it is a good idea" Heiji said
"Me too" Aoko agreed
"Come on I broke up with her…" Kaito said trying to remember
"6 months ago" Heiji finished his sentence
"Anyway who will accompany Aoko there?" Kaito asked
"Dad would"
"Are you coming?" Heiji asked his daughter
"I don't want, I don't like crowded places"
"Okay then" Heiji said and stood up
"where are you going?" Aoko asked
"I have got some work I will see you later darling" Heiji said and kissed his daughter's forehead before walking away
"You broke his heart" Kaito said
"why?"
"It has been a long time since he went out can't you see he is anxious? You shouldn't leave him alone "
"Okay fine I will get ready" Aoko said quietly before standing up and walking to the Mansion
"Is Ran ready yet?" Chris vineyard or should I say Chris Kudo asked Azami
"She is resting now" She answered
"I can't believe her " Chris said and went upstairs to her step-daughter
"you are still resting till now" Chris said as she walked into the room
"Yes It is not a problem" Ran answered
"Anyway Is the hairdresser coming here?"
"yes"
"There would be another team at the hotel you will need them till the end of the night" Chris said and Ran nodded smiling
"why isn't Eisuke anywhere? I haven't seen him at the hotel as well, call him please okay? Good" Chris said and walked out of the room
Eisuke was sitting with his parents looking at the piece of paper in front of him
"How could you let someone like Chris fool you to marry her daughter?" Ethan asked
"Father please "
Eisuke's phone rang "Please father just be quiet now Ran is calling" Eisuke told his father
"Tell her you won't get married till she sign this prenuptial agreement" Ethan told his son who ignored him and answered the phone
"Love where are you? "Ran asked as soon as Eisuke answered the phone
"I have been busy with wedding stuff"
'You haven't been to the hotel as well "
"Love, Is it okay If I call you later? Or I will just drop by later"
"Okay?" Ran answered confused
"I love you"
"I love you too" Ran answered smiling before hanging up
"Make her sign this paper or I will disown you!" Ethan said
"If we can't have a normal conversation I am leaving" Eisuke said and walked away to be stopped by his sister
"Eisuke wait, Dad stop please" Rena said before walking to her brother
"Look you know I have nothing against her and that I like her" Rena said
"But I don't! they fooled my son" Ethan said standing up "She fooled you by getting pregnant "
Eisuke walked to the table and grabbed the piece of paper
"Will you be okay if she signs this? Will you make it to the wedding?" Eisuke asked
"Make her sign and we will see about it" Ethan said and Eisuke walked away angrily storming off the house
Azami gave the phone to Chris who was taking a long warm bath before the wedding
"Your designer Kudo-san" Chris took the phone from her
"Hello? Yes of course I liked the dress everyone would be talking about it oh and by the way I will pay you by the end of the month, thanks a lot see ya" Chris said then hanged up
"Take the phone and don't disturb me for another 30 minutes" Chris told Azami
"As you wish " Azami bowed
"Is Shinichi in his room?"
"No he left in the morning "Azami answered and Chris nodded
"Fine you can go" Chris said and Azami walked out of the bathroom
Shinichi was placing flowers on his dad and mom's grave while Heiji who was visiting his wife's grave observed him, he often saw Shinichi there and he liked to admire him from far
He sees him almost everyday from the day of the Funeral of Shinichi's father
He was in deep thoughts that he didn't realize that Shinichi was looking at him with a smile on his face, they walked to each other and greeted each other
"Hello Kudo-kun" Heiji said
"Hello Hattori-san, but please don't call me Kudo-kun I think Shinichi is enough I don't like honorifics " Shinichi said smiling
"Well I will call you Shinichi only if you call me Heiji" Heiji told him grinning and Shinichi chuckled
"Deal, you come here everyday ha?"
"Maybe not everyday " Heiji answered
"I still can't get used to my father's death, first mom and now dad" Shinichi said smiling brokenly
"The beloved one will always remain in our memories , you will get used to it, it's still soon" Heiji said
"28 days" Shinichi said
"Way too soon" Heiji told him smiling
Saguru walked into the kitchen carrying some stuff, he placed them on the ground smiling at Aoko who was there as well
"Kuroba-kun is sleeping right now" Midori said
"And so?" Ayako asked
"He wants to look good for the wedding" Midori said grinning , As they all love to gossip
"What are you wearing to the wedding?" Ayako asked Aoko
"I don't know"
"You should wear red " Ayako said
"Why don't you go shopping with the mademoiselle, you don't have a fancy dress" Chizu said
"I don't want to go the wedding anyway" Aoko shrugged
"Then don't and we will have dinner in the garden together, we can have a barbecue party" Saguru said
"Of course we can, and we will invite the mademoiselle as well" Masato said
"I don't want to leave my dad alone" Aoko said
"Then go, It is the first time he is going to a wedding after your mom's death" Midori said and they all looked at her with warning looks
"Yeah,First time, after my mom's death" Aoko said looking at the ground
"then go and bring some materials for us to gossip about or should I say for Chizu to gossip about" Masato said looking at his fire and she rolled her eyes
"They shouldn't have a wedding anyway, Kudo Yusaku-san just died a short time ago, he couldn't stand his wife ambitions, she is evil she is the one who killed him I am sure" Chizu said
"Shh, Don't talk like that" Aoko said
"This is the truth and everybody knows that, They even say worse than that" Chizu said
"Chziu Behave" Masato said "How could you talk like that in front of a child ?"
"Aoko is not a child, she is a teenager now" Saguru said, he calls her by her first name as they were childhood best friends
"Thanks Saguru" Aoko said grinning and Ayako huffed in annoyance
"Anyway I think you shouldn't let your father go" Chizu said
"Why?"
"I think this woman who is called Chris is after your father"
"Chizu" Masato warned
"No! My dad is not interested in any kind of women or men or anyone, he still loves my mother and he won't hurt me" Aoko said
"Of course he wouldn't " Masato said
"I..I should go to the Piano room before mademoiselle calls me" Aoko said and walked away quickly without waiting for their answers
"I can't believe you, you upset her" Masato said
"She should know the truth if she wants to protect her father" Chizu said
Azami opened the door for Eisuke who smiled at her before walking into the house, Chris saw him as she was sitting in the dinning room next to the door talking about the wedding organization with some people
"Finally you are here, should I have sent you an invitation?" Chris asked
"Is Ran upstairs?" He asked ignoring her
"She is in her room" Azami answered and he went upstairs to his soon to be wife
He knocked on the door then opened it
"Ran?"
"I am having a massage Love give me a second" Ran told him and he nodded
"Who sent those flowers?" Eisuke asked and Ran froze
"They came from the gallery " She said was too quickly before telling the woman massaging her to leave
"Hey Love" Ran said walking to Eisuke pecking his lips
"I can't wait to see you in the wedding dress tonight" He said kissing her one more time
"I am so nervous" Ran said worried but grinning as well "Are your parents coming?" She asked and Eisuke sighed
"Don't tell me they are not coming! Eisuke mom would be so mad" She knew Chris wasn't her real mom but she liked to call her mom instead of step-mother
"I am ashamed to tell you this" Eisuke said running his fingers along her cheek
"What?"
"My dad insists on a prenuptial agreement "
Ran took the paper from him reading it before Chris opened the door walking into the room
"How many guests are coming?" Chris asked
"I already gave you the list earlier" Eisuke answered as Ran was looking for a pen
"Something wrong?" Chris asked her step-daughter
"Nothing, Eisuke do you have a pen?" Ran asked
"What is this?" Chris asked grabbing the paper from Ran
"Mother!"
"What the hell is this? On a wedding day? " Chris asked angrily
"My father is the one who…" Eisuke said but Chris interrupted him
"Tell your father I take that as an insult " she started "If this is their condition for the marriage to happen, then forget about this marriage" Chris said and Ran looked at her in disbelief before Chris walked out of the room slamming the door and Ran broke into tears
"I am sorry , I am really sorry" Eisuke kissed her forehead "I shouldn't have brought this here I should have teared it into pieces " He said hugging Ran who still had tears in her eyes
"Azami! Isn't Shinichi her yet?" Chris asked
"Not yet"
"Just go and bring me my phone " Azami nodded and went to bring the phone
Shinichi smiled at Heiji who insisted that his driver would drive him to his Mansion, They both were sitting on the backseats now
"Thank you Heiji really" Shinichi said smiling
"It's nothing, you accompanied me" Heiji said
"In fact you are the one who accompanied me I feel so much better now " Shinichi said, Heiji was about to answer when Shinichi's phone rang
"Excuse me" He said taking his phone out of his pocket to see who Is calling
"It's my step-mother"
"You must be busy with the marriage"
"I am not interested in it. Are you coming?"
"Of course I am coming, you guys were kind enough to come to my house and invite me "
"See you then" Shinichi said getting out of the car and walking to the gate of his house
He waved at Heiji before opening the gate and answering Chris finally
"Yes?" Shinichi asked
"where are you?" Chris asked
"In front of the door, Hattori Heiji was here he gave me a lift" As soon as Chris heard than she ran to open the door to be met with Shinichi
"Where is he?"
"He left"
"Why didn't you invite him in?"
"It never occurred to me that I should have " Shinichi shrugged walking into the house with Chris following him
Shinichi saw his sister coming downstairs crying and walking to the backyard of the house
"What happened?" He asked concerned
"She just needs some fresh air" Eisuke said and Shinichi went after his sister
"Let's talk in private please"Chris told Eisuke and they walked to the dining room
She closed the door before sitting on one of the chairs
"I don't care if they disown me I am still marrying Ran I don't care about the money I told her that"
"So that's how they are threating you" Chris said crossing her arms
"Well I have solution for you, it won't make both of us happy but it is a midway "Chris said
"what is it?"
"If they see this marriage as a commercial thing then I have protect my daughter as well, and We won't sign anything before trusting the other team now will we?" Chris asked
"How much do you want?" Eisuke asked standing up and Chris smirked
"She ruined my best day" Ran said crying
"That's how she is, don't cry, don't make her happier" Shinichi said
"She wasn't like that in the past"
"She was the same we were just too stupid to notice " Shinichi said crossing his arms and Ran looked at him confused
"I don't know why but she has a grunge against us maybe because she became a mother when she married our dad and because of you she will become a grandmother and a mother-in-law maybe not by blood but she will she is worried she will become older" Shinichi explained and Ran nodded in agreement
"I hate her" Shinichi said quietly to himself as he remembered what she did
Flashback
Shinichi was sitting with his Dad in the car when they saw Chris's car
"Oi, My mom is also here " Shinichi said, there was a time when he called her mom
"I didn't know that" Yusaku said
"Did you tell her we are going to the farm house?" Shinichi asked and Yusaku spotted another car hidden next to the house
"Dad something wrong?" Shinichi asked as he saw his father confused and little pale
"Wait for me here" Yusaku said and he got out of the car running to the house
Shinichi got out of the car as well and then he spotted the other car and when he looked at the house, he saw someone walking out of the house quickly to this car and driving it away and Shinichi walked to the house
End of flashback
Shinichi closed his eyes as he didn't want to remember the rest
"I will never forgive her" He said gritting his teeth
Kaito stood out of the room waiting for Aoko to finish her Piano practice and when she did he walked into the room clapping
"Good job, I am stunned, perfect" And Aoko smiled
"I was talking to mademoiselle" Kaito said and Aoko rolled her eyes
"I am just kidding, can I borrow you for a second?" Kaito asked
"I have work" Aoko said
"Just a second"
"If it turns to be another Joke…"
"It's not I promise " and they both walked out of the room
"You want something from me right?" Aoko asked
"Hang on" Kaito said as Aoko waited raising one of her eyebrows
"How much do I owe you?" Kaito asked
"You are going to pay me back? I can't believe you " Aoko said sarcastically
"If you lend me some more I will pay it all back I promise" Aoko chuckled at him before taking her purse out
"How much do you want?"
"I don't know as much as you can lend me" Kaito shrugged and Aoko some money from her purse
"Here you go" She said lending him some "You really act like a child sometimes" She said more to herself
Heiji walked into the house to be greeted by Kaito and Midori
"Well hello uncle "
"Welcome Hattori-san"
"Hello you too " Heiji answered smiling
"Your suit is ready hattori-san and it is being ironed right now" Midori said
"Thanks" Heiji thanked her as she bowed and walked away
"Everyone is excited by you going out today " Kaito said grinning
"Seems so, Let's have a small talk, We didn't have the chance since you arrived " And Kaito's grin dropped
"Sure"
They both went upstairs and walked to the office and each one of them sat on a chair
"How was your holiday?" Heiji asked
"It was good, I met my friends in Paris I went to some workshops then we went to London for the weekend I had some friends there as well"
"Carol ,Spencer, Victoria " Heiji counted them smiling and Kaito laughed
"You are young you should enjoy your life but what are your plans? Don't you think you should start working?" Heiji asked
"Well, yeah sure but I don't want to get distracted, collage will start in two weeks and I want to graduate"
"Sure and this year will pass as they years before right?" Heiji asked chuckling
"No I am determined uncle don't worry" Kaito said laughing then his phone rang
"Excuse me"
"You can take it here I am going anyway" Heiji said standing up and walking out of the office and Kaito answered his phone
"Hello"
"Where are you? You were supposed to come this morning" Akako said
"Umm well..there was a delay"
"When are you coming? I had an interview and I cancelled it for you"
"Okay fine I will change and come bye"
"Goodbye Love" She said and hanged up
Aoko was playing the Piano trying to distract herself but she couldn't
"Why is he going to the wedding? He doesn't like parties he will get bored "
"Why are you asking this now? He will come if he gets bored Aoko-chan,Go on please" Kazuha said
"What if they are right? Why now?why is he going to this wedding? A lot of people invited him and he didn't agree then why now? This woman is just after my father I know" Aoko said playing the Piano
"Aoko-chan concentrate" Kazuha said
"I don't want him to go" Aoko played the piano faster
"Aoko"
"I don't want him to go!"
"Aoko slower what are you doing?" Aoko didn't listen she just kept slamming her hand on the piano faster
"Stop! You are going to pass out again!" And she did, Aoko passed out
"Someone Help!" Kazuha yelled
Saguru and Heiji rushed into the room
"She fainted again!" Kazuha said
Saguru went and carried her a bridal style and walked out of the room quickly and Kaito saw them
"Bring me some water" Heiji said as he saw Ayako standing on the stairs
"There is some in her room" Ayako answered
Saguru walked carrying Aoko to her room, heiji opened the door and Saguru placed Aoko in the bed slowly
"Aoko wake up" Heiji said and took the glass of water from the nightstand
"Here drink some water" Heiji said as he saw his daughter opening her eyes slowly
"What happened? Did I faint again?" Aoko asked
"Yes as always" Kaito answered
"Shut up" Aoko hissed
"See? She is fine now Kaito goes" Kaito said and walked out of the room
"I am fine don't worry Saguru" Aoko said and Saguru sighed in relief
"Okay now, she is okay, you can go and finish your work" Kazuha said smiling and Saguru nodded smiling as well and walked away
"Are you okay darling?" Heiji asked
"I am not" Aoko said frowning
"Something wrong?"
"Dad…don't go tonight " Aoko said "Stay with me please" she pleaded
"Aoko-chan you'd better stay here today but let your father go please" Kazuha said
"But…" Aoko started but Kazuha gave her a "don't" look
"Fine you can go dad, Anyway I will have a barbecue party with Saguru, mademoiselle,Mitsuhiko and the rest so I won't be alone" Aoko said smiling
"Okay sweetheart, if anything happens call me promise?" Heiji asked his daughter smiling
"Promise" Aoko answered smiling and Heiji kissed her forehead before walking out of the room with Kazuha
Shinichi, Chris and Ran were all in Ran's room,Ran wearing her wedding dress kept walking back and forth nervous and Chris telling her to calm down while Shinichi sat by the window looking outside and he noticed Eisuke coming with a small boat
"Your saver is here" He told Ran
"Have a drink it will help you relax" Chris said
"I am pregnant!" Ran rolled her eyes
"Yes, unfortunately" Chris said shrugging and sighing
"Shinichi what are you wearing? You look plain! Is this even a wedding outfit?" Chris said as she saw what Shinichi was wearing, He was wearing a buttoned black dress vest that hugged his body, a white t-shirt underneath it with folded sleeves till his elbow and a black jeans not even a dress pants only black jeans
"Not interested " Shinichi said
"Okay if you like it then" Chris said rolling her eyes
"Hondo- san is here " Azami said and Chris nodded following her
"You look so beautiful today" Shinichi said closing the door and walking to his sister
"Your turn will come soon" Ran said kissing his cheek
"Yeah right" He said chuckling
"I am afraid mom would cause another trouble " Ran said worried
"Don't worry I won't let her I will go and check on them" Shinichi said
"Thanks Shin-chan" Ran said and Shinichi smiled then walked out of the room going downstairs to his step-mother and Eisuke , but when he reached the dining room he saw the door closed and he heard them talking and what he heard shocked him
"No one will know about this transaction" He heard Chris saying "Especially Ran" He then opened the door
"Ran was right, You did it again" He looked at her with disgust
"I hope you won't tell anyone either otherwise Ran would be very upset" Chris said and Shinichi glared at her and Eisuke
"Please Shinichi-kun" Eisuke pleaded
"Don't look at me like that, that's for her own good, his parents made me do this "She explained and Shinichi looked at her shaking his head in disbelief before slamming the door behind him
"Now let's have a drink to celebrate we still have time" Chris said smiling
"My father doesn't know I paid you" Eisuke said
"Your problem" Chris said smirking before walking away
Kaito and Akako were lying on bed was a blanket covering their body
"I am going out of the town for a photoshoot again why don't you come with me?" Akako asked
"I have just got back, Uncle would get mad" Kaito told her going through his phone
"Tell me a better lie than that " She said and Kaito chuckled but his laughter died down when he saw the time
"Oh God I am late " Kaito said standing up quickly
"Where are you going?"Aoko asked confused
"There is a wedding tonight I need to get dressed "
"Are you going to your ex-girlfriend wedding?" Akako asked in disbelief and annoyance
"Yes, but I am not marrying her" Kaito teased then wore his clothes quickly so he can go back to the Mansion
"You look very handsome" Mitsuhiko said as he saw his father wearing his black tuxedo and he chuckled
"Thank you, Aoko?"
"A little" Aoko answered shrugging
"She is just doing that to upset you dad, don't believe her"
"I am just joking you look handsome dad" Aoko said smiling
"when will I ever wear a tuxedo ?" Mitsuhiko asked
"Maybe to your sister's wedding" Heiji answered grinning
"She will become a spinster" Mitsuhiko said and Heiji laughed
"Kaito told you that right?" Aoko asked annoyed
"yes , he did" Mitsuhiko answered grinning
"Jerks" Aoko said under her breath
"Now Aoko, that's not very nice" Heiji warned his daughter
"They are annoying me!" Aoko complained
"Just ignore them, anyway I got to go no, I will see you later sweethearts" Heiji said kissing Aoko's and Mitsuhiko's forehead before walking out of the room
Shinichi smiled as he saw his sister coming down the stairs in her wedding dress before they all started to applause for her
"Ran, we need to do something first" Chris said and took Ran's hand walking to the dining room
"I thought about it, Maybe it would be better if you signed the prenuptial agreement "Chris told Ran who looked at her in disbelief and happiness as well
"I can't believe it" She told Chris
"I am not changing my mind about anything but for your happiness I am willing to accept the insult" Chris said and looked at Shinichi who looked at her with total disgust
"If you were going to let me sign it why did you make me cry?" Ran asked
"Just sign it Ran" Chris said
Ran took the pen and looked at her soon to be husband who nodded at her then she signed the paper
Applauses was heard everywhere as Ran and Eisuke who are now wife and husband kissed and Of course Chris took the chance and held Heiji's elbow who was standing next to her
"I am happy for you"Heiji said
"I hope our turn will come, we are the only single ones around" Chris said and Shinichi who was behind them rolled his eyes
Then they heard Fireworks and they all turned around to see them while Clapping and talking together that they didn't even realize that Ethan Hondo and his daughter left the wedding
It's when the music started and Ran and Eisuke started dancing that Kaito decided to show up and the first one to notice him was Chris
"Ohh welcome Kaito-kun" Chris said greeting him cheerfully she still loved Kaito even when he broke up with her step-daughter
"hello" Kaito greeted back taking her hands and kissing it while Shinichi went and stood up in a corner alone looking at the view of the sea and Heiji sat on the chair observing him
"I didn't know that you were coming" Chris said
"You know that I like surprises" Kaito said grinning
"You are late "Heiji told Kaito
"It took me a while to get dressed "Kaito said sitting on the chair next to his uncle and Shinichi turned around to see the wedding ceremony
When Kaito looked at him as well, Shinichi raised his eyebrow as to ask ' what do you want?' And Kaito just nodded his head once while grinning which made Shinichi give him a look which he could understand perfectly because he always looks at him like that it was a 'Get lost in hell' look
"Oi,Oi,Kudo-kun is freezing me with his eyes" Kaito said grinning "I know she is very fond of me"
Ran's grin faded when she saw Kaito sitting on the chair but she just ignored him
"Kaito-kun you are in my seat" Chris said as she walked to the table
"I am sorry I.." Kaito started standing up but Chris stopped him
"Don't stand up it's okay, after all you are my most important guests "
"Thank you" Heiji said smiling
"Mitsuhiko come and sit down"Aoko called her brother so he can sit on the table for dinner, they were all sitting on the garden cooking the food
"I am watching the fireworks" Mitsuhiko said
"It's over now come" Aoko said and her brother huffed before walking to them and sitting down
"Why are you wearing only light clothes? You will catch cold" Aoko said
"Me? at this time of year? Come on sister" Mitsuhiko said rolling his eyes as they started serving the food for everyone and they started eating
"Ohhh It is so delicious " Kazuha said
"Bon apetit" Masato said grinning and Kazuha laughed
"My dad will be sorry to miss this" Aoko said looking down at her food
"I am sure he will I know him, he will come back when he is bored" Masato said trying to cheer her up
"Or he will stay only for Kuroba-kun" Midori said
"Kaito won't come until he dances with every single one of those girls " Mitsuhiko said and they agreed with him laughing
"Show me how" Aoko asked him and Mitushiko stood up
"Like this, Mademoiselle, voulez-vous dancer avec moi?" Mitsuhiko said extending his hand for Kazuha
"Avec Plaisir monsieur " Kazuha said grinning and taking his hand
They started dancing in front of everyone and Saguru got up to turn on some music
"Come on saguru" Aoko said standing up and walking to Saguru taking his hands and together started dancingas well with her hand on his shoulder and his hands on her waist and Ayako watched jealous
"The food will get cold, eat first" Chizu said but no one listened
"No one is listening to me" Chizu said
"Leave them alone " Masato told his wife who smiled at the dancing pairs
Ran and Eisuke were greeting every single one of the guests till they reached Heiji's and Kaito's table
"Congratulations" Heiji said smiling at Ran and shaking hands with Eisuke
"Thank you" They both answered smiling
"Congratulations I hope all goes well" Kaito said smirking
"Thank you" Ran said whispering 'jerk' under her breath then walking away and kaito grinned
Shinichi was looking at his step-mother who was dancing with one of the guests laughing like nothing else matters in the world, he couldn't stand her, he couldn't forgive her , How could she act like that? Like she did nothing?
Flashback
Shinichi walked to the house after he saw the man driving away, he didn't understand anything, who is this man? What was he doing here?
Then he heard Chris talking and walked more slowly shocked about what he heard
"I hate you I hate you I hate your voice, your looks, I hate everything about you, I never loved you, I was never happy with you , You didn't make me happy, You didn't give me anything I needed, Neither money nor happiness, I was young I married you yes but I had 2 kids to care about them even if they are not mine , you ruined my life, you enslaved me" Chris kept talking while Shinichi looked at them from the glass door with mixed feelings, Hate, disgust, betrayal, hurt
"I became slaves of your children" Chris said
"Enough" Yusaku yelled
"You stole my dreams, and you stole my youth but you won't be able to steal my life I can live the way I want" Chris yelled back
"Enough" Yusaku yelled once more
"I am supposed to be the one who question you. How am I supposed to relive those years?" Chris asked angrily
"Enough! Enough!"
"Leave me alone, I don't want you anymore, Leave me alone!" Chris said and turned around while he stood shocked in his place, and Shinichi turned around ready to walk away as well with anger filled inside of him but he heard something or someone hit the floor so he turned around again and his eyes went wide
His dad was on the floor with his eyes closed and Chris was calling his name frantically then she looked up and saw Shinichi looking at them worried
"Dad!" Shinichi called looking at his father's body on the ground
End of flashbacks
Shinichi looked at his step-mother one last time before walking away from this crowded place so he can be alone and Heiji was looking at him worried
Mitsuhiko yawned and laughed when Kazuha was looking at him chuckling
"You are sleepy, why don't you go to bed?" Aoko suggested
"I am not, Look how energetic I am" Mitsuhiko said "Dad hasn't come back yet why don't we go to the wedding?" He asked
"Don't be ridiculous"Aoko said
"We will watch from far away"
"Mitsuhiko!"
"Saguru can take us there by the boat please come on"
"it's very late now" Masato said
"Please sis I really want to go"
"I can prepare the boat in a minute"Saguru said
"Please sis " Mitsuhiko pleaded
"what do you think mademoiselle?" Aoko asked
"It won't be nice if they saw us" Kazuha said
"They won't I promise " Aoko said
"Okay fine "She agreed and mitsuhiko jumped in his place
"Why don't you guys come?" Aoko asked grinning
"No it's way too late" Masato answered
"How about Ayako?" Aoko asked and Ayako looked at her parents with hope
"you can go if you want" Chizu said and Ayako stood up to get ready and Midori looked at them as well
"You can go as well I will take care of the table" Chizu said and Midori grinned and got up as well
"Ran you look great in that gown" Kaito said smirking
"Thank you" she answered flatly and was about to walk away when Kaito stopped her
"You don't look you are pregnant in it. How old is it?" Kaito asked grinning
"2 months" Ran answered flatly again
"I am jealous of your husband, I would like you to be my bride" Kaito said teasing
"This is the day when I die!" and she walked away
They reached to the place where the wedding ceremony is held with the boat when Aoko spoke
"They won't see us here I am telling you"Aoko spoke
"Finally" Mitsuhiko said jumping
"be careful Mitsuhiko" Aoko said
"Would you like to dance with me?" Kaito asked one of the girls and she giggled
"Of course" She said and took his hands to the dance floor
While Heiji was looking between the crowds for specific person when he didn't find him he stood up and went looking for him
He looked for Shinichi for 15 minutes then he found him standing alone far away from this crowd so he walked to him, Shinichi heard footsteps so he turned around to find Heiji
"You ran away from the crowd as well didn't you?" Shinichi asked
"I have been away from the crowd for a long time " Heiji answered
"The last time I was in a crowd was in my dad's Funeral" Shinichi started "This is too much for me this wedding, this charade, how come they forgot all about that?" Shinichi asked
"Things like this may happen, I am sure your sister is having a bitter happiness I am sure she longs for her father as well "Heiji said
"but I am only glad that he didn't see what I saw"Shinichi said
"We were closer few minutes ago" Ayako said
"It's because of the current" Saguru explained
"Give me the binoculars " Aoko said taking it from him and watching from it
"I have seen the bride!" She said grinning while watching Ran dancing with Eisuke " And now I see Kaito dancing with a girl" Aoko said rolling her eyes mentally
"Let me see!" Mitsuhiko said
"Wait it's Ayako's turn" Aoko said
"Let the mademoiselle see first " Ayako said and gave the binoculars to Kazuha
She watched the whole wedding ceremony until her eyes landed on Heiji talking with Shinichi and smiling as well, She knew she shouldn't be jealous because they were both men but she is jealous because since the Funeral of Kudo Yusaku he talked about Kudo Shinichi almost everyday with such a fondness and affection in his tone
If she hadn't such feelings for him , it wouldn't matter for her if he dated guys it's his life after all but she did and it hurts
"Are you okay?" She heard Aoko ask
"Y..yeah we should go back now" Kazuha said
"But we have just arrived" Ayako whined
"It's getting cold now" Kazuha told them and they just nodded
"Okay fine Let's go" Midori said
"You are so cold let me warm you" Aoko said to her brother then she hugged him closer to her
Heiji and Shinichi sat in Silence until Shinichi broke it
"I remember your voice, I only remember what you said in the funeral" Shinichi said smiling
"Really?" Heiji asked smiling as well
"You told me to cry, Don't listen to those who tell you not to cry, there is no cure for this pain, you just need time that's what you said" Shinichi said
"That's the truth you feel sorry for yourself because of your loss for a while then you start missing "
"I miss him already" Shinichi said brokenly
"I know, I understand you believe me" Heiji said and Shinichi smiled at him before they were interrupted with Chris walking to them
"You are here, I thought you left home already but I am glad you weren't alone I am sure Shinichi was a good host " Chris said
"Yeah he was, I apologize but I should be going home now" Heiji said
"Really? Please stay we haven't even danced yet" Chris said
"I am sure the kids are still waiting for me at home"
"Kids first ha? When will we have time for ourselves, We should start thinking about ourselves for a change" Chris said and Shinichi rolled his eyes
"Thank you very much for coming and for your company too" Shinichi said shaking Heiji's hand
"I should be thanking you, Goodbye" Heiji said smiling
"I will walk you out" Chris offered
"Please stay, if you excuse me" Heiji said and walked away leaving Shinichi and Chris alone
Shinichi was about to walk away which Chris grabbed his arm
"Wait here, what did you tell him?" Chris asked firmly
"Why are you interested? Is he your next project?" Shinichi asked angrily
"Why not? Listen, be nice to him, I don't want you to be rude to him like you are rude to me get it? Anything might happen, we might have a relationship I know he is into me" Chris said crossing her arms
Shinichi looked at her for few seconds before whispering "I pity you" and then he walked away ignoring her
Masato and Chizu were listening to music when they heard the gate opening and they saw Saguru along with everybody coming in
"You came early" Chizu said standing up
"That's it Mitsuhiko is tired now he needs to go to bed" Aoko said and they both walked upstairs to the Mansion
"Good night" Kazuha said and then went upstairs as well while Ayako, midori and saguru walked to Masato and Chizu
"So how was it?" Chizu asked
"It was great everyone was dancing and we saw the bride" Midori said grinning
"We saw Kuroba-kun dancing with every single girl as well" Ayako said
"what happened with mademoiselle?" Masato asked
"We don't know she just wanted us to come back"
"Have a good night uncle" Kaito said
"where are you going?" Heiji asked
"I am going out with some friends I haven't seen them in a while"
"Okay then have a good night as well" Heiji said and then got out of the car and Aoko saw him so she quickly went to meet him
Heiji walked to the Piano room standing outside in the porch smelling some fresh air and Aoko went after him without him noticing
"Dad?" Aoko called and heiji turned around
"Aoko? Why are you still up till now?" Heiji asked kissing her forehead
"I was waiting for you" She answered smiling
"How was the wedding? It was bored right?" Aoko asked
"It was fine" Heiji answered
"Don't worry dad, I will never get married, I will always be here with you"
"You say that but you are going to be a bride someday"
"No! never I am staying here"
"We will see about that" Heiji said pecking her cheek and she smiled
"I Should go and sleep now Good night dad" She said and kissed his cheek as well before going to her room
Shinichi was standing in front of the mirror remembering Chris's words
'I don't want you to be rude to him like you are rude to me, anything can happen, we might have a relationship, I know he is into me'
He chuckled at her oblivion and then smirked a little to himself before going to bed
Aoko walked to her father's workshop the next morning but she didn't find him so she went to Saguru to ask him about her dad
"Where is dad? Is he still sleeping?" Aoko asked
"No he left early in the morning"
"Where did he go?" She asked confused
"I don't know" Saguru shrugged
Heiji walked to the cemetery and didn't find Shinichi in front of his parent's grave so he walked a little more and saw him standing in front of his wife's grave
Shinichi smiled at Heiji when he noticed him looking and then walked to him and Heiji grinned and walked to him as well
"I knew you'd come" Shinichi said
"Me too"
"I am only here today to see you"
Heiji chuckled before saying 'Me too' again
"I slept so peacefully last night, I felt relived after our conversation "
"I Felt alive after a long time, I mean… I was thinking about you " Heiji said nervously he was nervous about what he will say "You might say I am crossing the line but, I am in love" Heiji said and Shinichi was smiling widely
"You are smiling at my stupidity aren't you?" Heiji asked and Shinichi shook his head disagreeing "I am smiling because I am happy" Shinichi confessed
"Shinichi I am sure about my feelings and I…I want to live with you from now on,that's what I want, that's what I feel" Heiji said, he took a deep breath before finally saying
"Will you marry me Shinichi?" Heiji asked and Shinichi who is smiling at him
He was nervous, he was worried , he wasn't even sure if Shinichi liked guys , he himself didn't know that he liked guys but Shinichi made him feel things he haven't felt since his wife died so he was willing to risk it and ask him this question
His thoughts were interrupted when Shinichi held one of his hands looking at him fondly as Heiji waited anxiously for the answer
So this is a new story I am writing and it is about Kaishin don't worry Kaishin is always an OTP but they might be a thing slowly (maybe too slow)
I apologize for any mistakes or errors, And I don't know when I might update this or the other story as I said I am having my mid-year exams starting the end of this month sooo… anyway back to the point,
I watched a TV series talking about forbidden love and I just had to write it about Kaishin so this story is based on a tv- series yes
And about the characters I choose, I know they might be weird at first but believe after a lot of thinking I think the characters should be like that Heiji is old like 38 or 39 and yes his daughter is Aoko and his son is Mitsuhiko I know weird but if I made him Nakamori instead of Heiji won't it be weirder I mean seriously? Shinichi and Nakamori? I can't even imagine it
By time you guys can see why I choose those characters so please no insult or hate comments if you don't like it don't read it
Oh and Also don't hate the characters just because I made them bad or evil in this story this has nothing to do with what they are like in DCMK as I said they are probably way too OOC
Love you all ,Don't forget to smile.
