"How could you?" Téa yelled at the figure, whose back was facing her. He turned and simply smiled at her, amused by the pain on her face.

"Don't be so sad. It was all business." He replied with a smile before he began to walk away.

"You can't do this!" Téa yelled, running behind the figure. She quickly grabbed his hand and shook her head.

"I love you." She sobbed, burying her face in her arm. He looked down at her with a look of disgust on his face.

"I don't love you." He shook his hand, trying to pull it from her grasp.

"Please, don't do this." Téa sobbed, shaking her head. However, he paid her no mind and turned away as she fell to her knees.

"Have a good life." He called over his shoulder before he disappeared into the darkness.

"Wait!" Téa yelled, getting to her feet. She ran towards his retreating figure, but made no progress. Instead, it seemed as though she was moving further and further away from him rather than closer.

"Don't leave me!" However, he had already disappeared into the darkness.

"No! Come back!" She yelled. She fell to her knees, sobbing.

"Téa." A voice called. She looked up and heard the voice again.

"Father." She breathed as an elderly man stepped out of the shadows.

"I'm sorry." She sobbed, running towards the man. He smiled and shook his head.

"It's fine, child. Be happy. Smile always." He said as he began to melt in front of her eyes.

"Father!" Téa screamed as the man began to groan and become a liquid.

"Be happy always." He smiled as he melted to mush.

"Father!" Téa screamed as a puddle formed at her feet.

Téa gasped and jolted up from her bed. She took several small ragged breaths, trying to regulate her breathing.

"Just a dream." She sighed, wiping the sweat that had formed on her forehead. However, she could feel the tears that had somehow managed to escape her eyes.

"It's just a nightmare." She repeated to herself. However, she couldn't stop her body from shaking with fear as a sinister and ominous feeling filled her.

She let out a sigh and pushed her damp hair from her face. Standing, she reached out and pulled her black silk robe over herself. Sighing, she walked towards her balcony and pushed open the doors. The cool night air blew against her, passing through her robe.

However, she paid the cold winter air no attention as she gazed at the stars, her attention elsewhere. She closed her eyes as the wind lifted her hair.

It had been years since that event had happened. Yet, it still seemed so vivid and clear in her mind, almost as though it had happened at the moment, that second. She opened her eyes and shook her head.

No, there was no way it would happen again. That was her past. She had left that all behind her. She wouldn't have to face that anytime ever again. Suddenly filled with tiredness, she yawned and turned, heading back into her room. She closed the door to her balcony before heading over to her bed.

She pulled back her comforters and crawled into her king sized shell-shaped bed. Yawning, she glanced over at the clock beside her bed.

The red-lit 2:30 am looked back at her. She yawned again and pressed her head against her pillow. She had about 5 hours left to sleep. Yawning, she turned on her bed, trying to find a comfortable position for herself.

"Did you sleep last night?" Téa looked up from her breakfast as her cousin entered the room.

"No. Did you?" Téa grumbled, poking at her egg. Her older cousin turned to face her before chuckling.

"Someone's a grouch." Téa scoffed at her cousin's remark and returned her attention towards her egg.

"Not everyone can be all preppy and happy like you in the morning." She replied as she put some into her mouth and slowly chewed.

"Well, sorry for being so happy." Her older cousin, Ishizu, smiled at her as she sat beside her. Téa looked at her cousin and scowled. The black haired girl beside her was dressed in a green polka dotted sundress. On her head was a light green sun hat that matched her dress. Téa took one look at her before bursting into laughter.

"Well, I see my outfit made you laugh." Her cousin scoffed, giving Téa a slight glare before turning away.

"You can't blame me. You look ridiculous. It's like 15 degrees out and you're dressed in summer clothing." Téa answered, shaking her head and grabbing a piece of toast.

"I know what the weather is like." Ishizu scoffed as she began to butter a piece of toast.

"Do you now?" Téa smirked in an attempt to further provoke her cousin. However, Ishizu merely nodded, ignoring Téa's attempt to annoy her.

"It's for the photo shoot." Ishizu replied, watching as Téa groaned and shook her head.

"I swear to God! Hokuto has gone insane!" Téa sighed, taking a bite of her toast.

"Not this again." Ishizu mumbled as she poured herself some orange juice.

"I'm serious! Who in their right mind would make you wear summer clothing when it's winter?" Téa asked.

"Apparently, Hokuto." She smiled as Téa rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. The man's a cracked nut. I don't care what you say. I'm glad I agreed to do Sango's photo shoot. She's incredible and her outfits are amazing!"

"Really?" Ishizu asked as Téa took a sip of her coffee.

"Are you sure you're doing it because of the outfits or because of a certain someone?" Ishizu asked, raising her eyebrow. She watched as Téa paused before she swallowed her coffee.

"What are you talking about?" Téa asked, avoiding her cousin's eyes. Ishizu smiled and cleared her throat.

"Apparently, Duke Devlin agreed to do her photo shoot as well." Her older cousin didn't miss a single detail nor was she ever in the dark about anything.

"How do you know that?" Téa gasped, setting her coffee down and staring at her cousin.

"I have my sources. Besides, you can't keep anything from me." Ishizu smiled, taking a sip of her orange juice.

"But, it was only finalized yesterday." Téa said, shaking her head. However, she gasped and quickly put her hand over her mouth. But, it was too late and Ishizu turned towards her, a triumphant smile on her lips.

"Oh. Now I know why you were in such a hurry to accept her offer." She winked at Téa, who flushed.

"No, that's not it!" Téa turned away, trying to hide her blush.

"If you say so." Her older cousin smiled before standing and grabbing her purse, which also matched her outfit.

"I'll see you after the shoot. We can have lunch at that new diner." She smiled. Téa groaned and shook her head.

"Can't. I have a meeting with Mr. Wayne about that new makeup line." Her cousin nodded and began to walk towards the door.

"How about dinner? We can eat at that new restaurant they opened like 10 minutes from the agency." She called over her shoulder. Once again, Téa sighed and shook her head again.

"Can't. I have a date with Duke." Instantly, she gasped and closed her mouth. However, she knew that Ishizu had already heard as her face broke out into a large smile.

"I didn't mean date. I meant appointment!" Téa yelled, shaking her head although she knew her cousin would never believe her. Surely enough, Ishizu brushed the comment aside with a wave of her hand.

"Don't lie. That, my dear, was a Freudian slip. I took psychology, remember? Besides, we both know he likes you. He practically screamed yes when he heard you were one of the models Sango was considering. And, don't forget that Duke is like the hottest model at the moment. Every agency and girl wants a piece of him, but he's interested in you." Ishizu winked at her again. Téa, however, groaned and lowered her head onto the table.

"By the way, I'm taking the green car, darling!" Ishizu said as she grabbed the keys next to the door.

"I'll take the black. It'll match with my outfit." Téa replied, finishing up her coffee.

"Oh, you're wearing that sexy black dress? Excellent choice!" Ishizu said before she left the kitchen. Téa groaned as she heard the door open.

"Have fun on your date!" Ishizu yelled before closing the door.

"It's not a date!" Téa yelled back, knowing her cousin probably didn't hear her. Téa groaned and sank her head into the table once again. Leave it to her cousin to look for a hidden meaning in anything she said.

Sometimes, she wished Ishizu would act like an adult instead of a child. However, she smiled as she realized that she actually loved her cousin just how she was. Although her cousin was childish, she was loving and was an older sister to Téa.

She was the only family Téa had and Téa loved her cousin dearly. Ishizu had stayed besides her, always at her side through everything that she had to endure in the past. She was always ready to comfort Téa, always prepared to sacrifice anything for her.

Téa quickly ran into her room and picked up her iPhone, smiling as she read the text she had just received.

Have fun on your 'date'. - Love, Ish

Tea chuckled and texted her back.

It's not a date! -_-

A few moments later, she got a reply.

It is totally a date! Driving. TTYL! XOXO -Ish

Téa smiled and set the phone down. She stretched before heading over to her closet to pick out her outfit for the office. She pulled out a black tank top and pair of black sweatpants and laid them out on her bed. She knew she should dress better, but she didn't care. She was tired and too lazy to find a perfect outfit. At least, she would be matching.

She knew that Ishizu would have a fit if she saw her in that outfit. Yawning, she turned and headed towards the bathroom for her morning shower. It was going to be a long day. She could feel it.

"Good morning, ma'am." The receptionist instantly greeted her as she walked into her building.

"Good morning, Mary." Téa smiled at the elderly woman before heading towards her elevator. The door was opened and she stepped in. The minute she stepped in, her elevator man reached out and closed the door.

"Good morning, ma'am." William greeted her as he pressed the button for the 22nd floor.

"Good morning, William." Téa returned the smile. "How's the family?"

"They're fine. My son is supposed to return from England this weekend." He said.

"That's great. And your daughter? Did she get the job?"

"Oh, yes! My daughter got the job as Maxwell's secretary all thanks to you." He smiled, grateful to Téa.

"That's great." Téa said, happy to hear the good news.

"I'll see you later, Will." She said as she stepped out of the elevator.

Instantly, a woman appeared besides her as she began to walk towards her office. The woman was wearing a navy skirt suit with her blond hair tied back in a bun. In her hand was a clipboard overflowing with papers.

"Good morning, ma'am." Andrea, her personal secretary, greeted her as she headed towards her office.

"Good morning, Andrea. What's my schedule for today?" Téa yawned, pushing her shoulder length dark brown hair out of her face. She pulled at the scrunchy on her hand and tied her hair back, allowing a few strands to fall in front of her right eye.

"At eleven, Mr. Wayne invited you to have lunch with him to discuss your new makeup line. Your meeting with Mr. Salls about your new perfume launch is at 1. Molly also called and asked if you could make the photo shoot today at 4. After that, you're supposed to have dinner with Duke at 7." The woman stopped to take a breath before going into details about other events planned for the day.

Téa sighed and turned to the woman. She had recently hired her and Andrea had been trying her hardest. She was always overflowing with energy and was always flighty and nervous.

"Andrea, calm down and take a deep breath." Téa said, cutting the woman off. The twenty year old woman stopped and took a deep breath before turning to look at Téa, who merely smiled.

"How about you get me a cup of coffee and then send the details about everything I have to do today to my office?" Téa asked, as she stopped outside her office.

"Of course, ma'am." Andrea smiled before she turned to get the coffee. Téa watched the woman leave before walking into her office.

"I'm so tired." She yawned aloud to no one in particular. However, she nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard an answer.

"That's what happens when you have to run a company." Téa's yawn stopped halfway and a squeak escaped her throat. She looked at the figure leaning against her desk before reaching up and wiping her eyes.

After she practically wiped her eyes of of their sockets, she removed her hands to look at the figure standing in front of her.

"Please tell me I'm dreaming." She mumbled to herself before blinking several times.

"You're not. Trust me." The figure replied, a smug smirk on his face and a superior gleam in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Téa asked, sounding harsher than she intended to.

"Is that how you greet me after years?" The man asked, false hurt in his voice.

"You're lucky I don't have security throw you out of here." She snapped, heading towards her desk.

"Wait, how did you get in here?" She turned around to face him, her eyes wide in surprise.

"I walked in and told them I had a meeting with you. Not many people say no to Seto Kaiba." He gave her his trademark smirk, causing her to scowl at him.

"As if I would ever have a meeting with you." She replied, turning her back towards him.

"Still angry about the past, I see." At his words, Téa spun around, her eyes blazing with anger.

"Of course I'm still angry about the past! Who wouldn't be?" She yelled before clearing her throat and assuming a cool demeanor.

"But, enough about that. I'm just curious about why you returned and, more importantly, why you choose to come and meet me. Did you think you'd be welcome here?" She folded her arms across her chest and regarded him with a cold look.

Kaiba chuckled and walked towards her, a smirk on his lips.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." He replied, reaching out to touch her cheeks. An unknown emotion flashed in her eyes before it instantly disappeared and she slapped his hand away.

"Don't give me that bullshit, Kaiba!" She hissed, watching as he looked down at his hand and then her, a smile on his face.

"I see we've gone back to being formal with each other." He noted, watching her eyes narrow.

"And why shouldn't we?" Téa felt herself begin to tremble with rage and clenched her fists.

"It's fine. I understand. After all, I haven't exactly been fair to you." He watched as her face became red and her anger burst through one again.

"What a gross understatement!" She yelled, moving to stand directly in front of him, her cerulean eyes glaring up at him. He felt a heat run through him at her closeness and quickly moved backward, putting some space between them.

"I know I made a mistake but must you be so difficult?" He huffed, throwing his hands into the air as he felt his own temper begin to flare.

"Me?! Difficult?!" He watched as she exploded, throwing all control to the winds. She was beside him in and instant.

"You're one to talk!" She yelled as she turned him around to face her and poked her index finger into his chest. Kaiba let out a sigh and moved away from her, knowing that it would not help if he too lost his temper.

"For now, can we not argue? We're meeting each other again after years. Can we attempt to be civilized?" He asked, hoping she wouldn't be difficult. Téa studied him for a moment before she sighed and moved towards her desk.

"Fine." She surrendered, although he knew from her tone that she would rather yell at him. No doubt she would after he finished saying what he had come to say.

"By the way, you look nice." He noted as he looked at her leaning against her desk. She was wearing a pair of black sweatpants with Pink written vertically on the left leg and a pair of black Uggs. Although she was dressed in mainly baggy clothing, she did look amazing. His eyes wandered to her dark brown hair, which she had let grow and had tied back so it hung behind her shoulder in a messy ponytail. A few strands escaped and hung over her brilliant cerulean eyes.

His eyes moved down to her full red lips, which was currently in a what looked like a scowl and scoff combined.

His eyes continued moving downwards to her black tank top, which clung to her and revealed the curves she had developed since he had last seen her.

"Can you stop checking my boobs out?" Téa asked, irritation obvious in her voice as she watched his eyes linger on her chest. Kaiba quickly cleared his throat and removed his eyes, turning slightly pink from being called out for that. He returned his attention towards her face and saw her glaring at him.

"Sorry." He coughed, causing her to roll her eyes and turn away. As she turned away, she hid the smile on her lips. She had been checking him out also. Although he still wore the same trench coat he had always worn, his physique had gotten stronger and more defined with muscles showing through the black shirt he was currently wearing.

His hair had also gotten longer, reaching his shoulder, which surprised her as he was not one to let his hair grow out. She turned to face him and saw his cobalt eyes staring back at her. However, there was an unknown emotion in them as he looked at her. Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, she turned away and cleared her throat.

"Would you like anything to drink?" She asked, moving to grab her phone to call Andrea.

"I'm fine." He quickly answered and watched as she nodded before sitting in the chair behind her desk.

"Now that that is settled," Téa paused and looked at him. He looked right at home in her office, a 6' tall, arrogant, cold, and calculating CEO.

"Sit down." She gestured to the seat in front of her and watched him take a seat.

"Now, why are you here, Kaiba?" She asked, all signs of emotions gone from her voice as she raised her mask of business. She saw shock shoot across his face before it disappeared and he smirked at her.

"I have a proposition for you." He replied after a few moments.

"Really? And what makes you think I would be interested in it?" Téa scoffed, leaning back in her chair.

"Well, I would think my fianceé would care and support me." He replied in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Fianceé? We're no longer engaged, Kaiba." Téa replied, shaking her head.

"Really? Are you sure?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. He watched as her face paled and she sat up.

"What?" She breathed, unable to believe what she was hearing. What was he saying?

"That's right, Téa. We're still engaged." He replied and saw her face pale before she gasped and fell against her chair.
