-1st Week, Sunday Day 0-

What's the difference between Serenity and Rose? The fact that Rose was more satisfying in looks, in fashion, and in bed. Rose was the number one model throughout Japan and men wanted her. However, Duke was the one that grabbed her attention.

It's been over two years since Duke and Serenity have been dating, but there wasn't any spark. As he tried to kiss her on the lips, she would turn away. He hoped there was something between them but within the last year, Duke decided to cheat on Serenity with Rose. Every night he called Serenity, making an excuse about not coming home due to business when in reality he was out on special occasions with Rose. Duke couldn't wait for Serenity to leave the house to go to work because Rose would always come to satisfy him.

"Don't wait up for me. I may not come home tonight," Duke said as Serenity gave a sad expression.

Serenity waved bye, closed the door behind her and got her in car. Duke picked up his phone, dialed Rose's number and smirked when she answered.

The phone rang once and quickly answered, "Duke! I've been waiting for you to call! Is she gone?"

"Yes, sweetie, she is," Duke smiled over the line.

"So, when are you going to tell her? I can't believe she still hasn't figured it out. I don't know what you saw in that stupid, ugly girl," she cried out wanting Duke to throw her out of his house and take her in.

"Tomorrow, definitely," he looked around the living room and noticed she left her cell on the coffee table.

"It's about damn time," she laughed as he laughed with her.


Stopped at a red light, Serenity was about to get on the highway when she reached for her purse to grab her phone. She stuffed her right hand in and noticed that her phone wasn't in the pocket she normally keeps it in. Using her right hand, she grabbed her pockets and noticed her phone was missing.

"Maybe I left it at home?" she asked herself as she turned on the blinker to her car. Looking at the sky, she noticed it was getting cloudy. Remembering the news from last night, the weathercaster mentioned about rain for three to four weeks due to the monsoon.

She looked at the clock and noticed she was an hour early to work, so she decided to make turn around and go back home.


As Serenity drove up to the house she noticed that a red car parked in the driveway blocking her. So, she paralleled park, got out of the car and walked to the house. She unlocked the door, and noticed the TV was on but Duke was anywhere to be seen. As she walked to the stairs, she noticed noises coming from the second floor. Step by step she noticed the noises became louder. Her eyes widened when she realized the bed was squeaking and another girl was calling out Duke's name.

She crept up to the door, placed her ear on the door and heard, "DUKE!"

A tear fell from her eye as she turned around and slowly crept quietly away, as she noticed her phone was on the coffee table. Quickly grabbing her phone, she hurried to close the door, locked the door, ran to her car, turned it on and drove off.


Ten o'clock ended Serenity's shift from work and it began to drizzle outside. She sighed as she didn't want to go home, but knew she would have to put a fake face. Then, she remembered that Duke "may not" come home tonight. Her heart was broken, and she knew she had to make the second biggest step in her life. Moving out immediately was the next biggest thing in her life. However, the hardest part was where in Japan when she lived with Duke for over two years now.


Noticing the drive way empty she felt a big relieve come over her, however, she remembered that her brother, Joey and Mai were on vacation along with Yugi and the rest of the gang. Going through her contacts on her phone, she noticed she had one other person to call, but who knows how their brother would handle the situation.

She pushed the phone icon and waited a few seconds until it rang.

"Hey, Serenity! How are you doing?" Mokuba was happy to say.

"Is that Serenity? Tell her I said hi and we miss her!" Rebecca yelled in the background.

"Tell them I said hi," Serenity responded.

"So, what's up?" Mokuba asked.

"I need a place to stay," she responded.

"Wait… what? You're moving out from Duke's mansion?" Mokuba was shocked to hear.

"Did you know?" Serenity felt a tear come down.

Mokuba sighed, "Serenity… yes, we all knew about the relationship between him and Rose."

"Rose?" more tears started to traced down her cheek.

"Get your clothes and other personal items out of the Duke's mansion, and go live at the Kaiba estate. Leave your phone there If, Seto tries to stop you, he will have another thing coming," Mokuba was strict with his word to her.

"I can't believe I trusted him these two years. It didn't matter to me who hanged out as long as he was happy. Now I can see why he was always late due to his-" Serenity started to sob.

"His so-called businesses?" Mokuba answered for her.

"Yes," she responded.

"Go right now and immediately go to the Kaiba estate. I will let my brother be aware that you are on your way," Mokuba assured her.

"Thank you, Mokuba," she smiled in-between tears.

"Aww, happy to help a friend in need," Mokuba laughed.

"C'mon Mokie! Let's get in the water!" Rebecca yelled in the background.

"Have fun!"

"Drive safe and be careful," Mokuba said before he hung up.


Mokuba looked at his phone as he ended the call.

"Everything alright, Mokie?" Rebecca was concerned for her fiancé.

He sighed, "Serenity found out Duke was cheating on her," he held down the 'on' button as it was turning off.

"Weren't you going to call Seto?" Rebecca rose an eyebrow.

"I lied."

"What? Why? Is Seto still mad at you?" Rebecca was worried.

"Don't want to deal with him while I'm on vacation with my soon-to-be wife," Mokuba smiled at her.

"But what about Serenity?" Rebecca expressed sadly for her friend.

"Since she was able to put her foot down with my brother back in Battle City, I'm sure she can handle herself. She's a grown lady even though she lacks confidence, but I trust her just like everyone else here," Mokuba was proud to say about his friend.

"Tell me why she couldn't come with us again?" Rebecca sighed.

"Going on vacation doesn't pay the bills," he said understanding the meaning of it as Rebecca splashed water on him.


It was heavily pouring outside and Seto was blocking her from coming inside.

"Give me one reason why I should let you stay in the estate?" he was pissed off since he was interrupted by the door bell, and he had a lot of work to do.

"I thought Mokuba-"

"He never called me, so I have no idea what you're talking about," Seto showed her his phone where it represented recent calls.

Serenity's eyes widened, and now she had nowhere to go.

"Please, give me one month to stay and find an apartment," she pleaded as she bowed.

"Here you are begging me for help. Did you think I ever forgotten how you humiliated me back in Battle City?" he was not happy.

"You may not forgive me, but I could assure I will find an apartment within one month, and I will do what you ask me of," she kneeled down in shame.

"Oh? Anything I ask of?" he rose an eyebrow.

"Yes," she answered as wind began to pick up and hit her.

Seto realized the weather was getting worse, so he kneeled down, placed his hand under her chin making his cobalt eyes pierced into her hazel eyes.

"I'm the one in charge. When I'm in my room, don't bother me. While I'm at work, don't bother me. If we happen to cross paths, don't bother me. Do you understand?" he smirked as she was slightly confused.

"Yes… sir," she gulped as her clothes began to get soaked as her body began to shiver.

"Go upstairs and the tenth room to your left is yours. You have one month to find an apartment. You can't find one, don't be surprise to see everything you own outside in this hellish weather," he smirked as he stood up, and she quickly ran to her room.


Pardon my grammar.
