Chapter 1:-

It was another peaceful night, silent, comforting and simple. The everyday routine of the corporate leader and bachelor Takumi Walker.

He was sitting in his office, engulfed by the calm darkness of the night. The only light coming from outside was softly illuminating his features as he finished all the paperwork.

He was not a regular man so he couldn't afford the leisure to be free and was always found in his office working nonstop. Many had advised him to take things easy but since he wanted to be above others, he couldn't afford to rest.

Finishing his paperwork he slumped back into his seat, rubbing his temples in a soothing manner. He didn't want anyone to disturb his peace since it was rare for things to be so silent and comforting around him.

Ringgggg...

Gods above hated him, he was sure of that because he never got the peace and quiet he wanted- it was always disturbed by someone.

Ringgggg...

Leaning back in his seat he closed his eyes and draped his hand on them, if only he would ignore the ringing it would soon stop and than he will get what he desired.

Ringgggg...

Oh how wrong he was to think in such a way, he wanted to throw the goddamned thing on the wall but refrained. If his secretary were here, she'd laugh at the absurdity of his superior childishly ignoring a phone call.

Ringgggg...

Someone please just break that thing. He thought extremely annoyed; a phone call on a perfectly beautiful night ruined everything.

Ringgggg…..

"Damn it!" He cursed and swirled his chair near the phone picking up, he heaved a deep frustrated sigh hearing the voice on the other side... "Is this how you run your company?"

For heavens sake it was 12am! Why was she calling right now? Takumi had no idea and he was not interested to find out soon.

This better be something important. He thought extremely irritated.

"Patricia Walker!" The young Walker sneered.

"Its mother for you...Takumi." His mother bit back in a cold voice.

"I don't care, state your business." Takumi retorted.

"You're my business, see me at home in an hour."Patricia said taking a deep breath, "You better hurry for your own good."

Takumi snorted and replied, "I'm not a puppet that will follow every damn command of yours."

"Well..." Patricia uttered in a bored tone, "If you don't come here in the given time then you simply lose everything."

With that the line went dead.

Takumi just glared at the phone, resisting every single urge of his to throw the phone or slam it down; anything he could do to vent his anger.

"What does that good for nothing excuse of a mother want from me this time." He muttered angrily, growing furious with every passing minute.

He looked over at the clock, 12:08am! "What a great way to start your day." He laughed.

Patricia Walker was his mother in flesh and name only; never did she care for him in any way. She only wanted to make the company rise above others and for that she did anything she could, there was not a single fragment of compassion or love in that woman. She only desired power and because of that Takumi had been left to live on his own.

Now he was the owner of Walker incorporation since his brother was no longer fit enough to run this company he had been made the actual heir. The company he had worked hard for 6 years forgetting about everything else. Always alone in the dark but he loved that feeling and never wanted someone beside him.

He was aware that his grandfather was the mastermind behind all of this and if only Gerard was not found to be infected with an incurable disease there was no way he would have all of this. From the shadows his grandfather was pulling the dirty strings in order to control him.

2 years back he had finally been able to cut all ties with that family after the death of his grandfather, Patricia was never interested in his life so she let him do whatever he wanted; only if he provided the luxuries of life.

Takumi didn't mind that as long as he got his freedom and this company, nothing else mattered….. But he forgot that fate always turned against him.

This one abrupt phone call suddenly threw him back to his past, something he wanted to forget and cut all ties with but all the Gods above hated him.

He sighed… "So the night is ruined."

Takumi gripped the phone tightly into his hands, eyes closed as he tried to overcome the silent resentment that engulfed him, tortured him. All of the sadness; anguish he had faced since he was a child came rushing back to him just because of this one damn phone call.

Unable to hold in his fury he threw the phone aimed at the wall, it fell down on the floor and broke into many pieces.

He took in a deep breath and got up, running a hand though his disheveled hair he looked down at the broken pieces of the smashed phone and smirked.

Just the way my life is... Broken and scattered without anyone who cares.

"It's about time I meet mother and put an end to everything..." He said walking towards the window and looked up at the sky, thinking how harsh life always had been towards him.

Looking down he saw many couples walking along the streets happily; hand in hand; smiling fully as they talked about very common stuff. A sad smile made its way on his lips…. Why could I never find happiness and have to suffer by the hands of fate.

Takumi snapped his gaze away from the happy couples and saw a shooting star, his lips lifted a little bit remembering his long forgotten dream.

If only I could find happiness in this life. He thought looking at the shooting star, completely unaware that maybe just for once the heavens may hear him and grant him his wish.

With a heavy sigh, he turned around to leave his office for the dreadful meeting that awaited him; after all he could never escape from his mothers all-knowing eyes until now.

But today that would change….!

This meeting really better be important... He thought as he left the office.

8:00 pm.

Slap!

Everyone present in the shop turned around to look at the scene currently playing in front of them. A girl with raven hair and amber eyes was glaring at the man sitting in front of her, her hand still in the air due to slapping him.

Sitting in front of her was Tora Igarashi, a well know business man particularly know for his playboy habits. Misaki's hand shook as she slapped him and her eyes were gleaming with unshed tears.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" She hissed.

Tora glared at her and with a smug grin plastered on his face said, "so you're a feisty one huh Misaki!"

Misaki gave him a death glare and picked up her things. "A cheap bastard like you deserves to be hit." Se furiously bit back.

Tora further narrowed his eyes and smirked, "This cheap bastard-" he said in a harsh voice, "-is the one you got to marry."

Hitting the table once again she herself smirked, "Let's see you try!" She challenged.

Tora's smirk faltered for a moment but being the confident prick he was he threated, "If you want your mother and sister safe you will shut your mouth and listen to me... Or else!"

Misaki clenched her fists and thought in annoyance. Just how full of himself can he get, this jerk.

Gritting her teeth she told him, "Or else you can go to hell and learn some manners you rich brat." She told him off and walked towards the exit.

Turning around she looked at him and spat out "You can save your threats Tora; I'll do something by myself to provide for my family and help them."

"Do you have any damn idea how much the treatment amount is to save your mother, along with your sister's fee for college?" He asked taking a sip of his wine, "just be a good girl and let me help you.'

Misaki grabbed his collar and pulled him towards her. "I swear if you don't shut that mouth of yours, I'll break it no matter what the consequences."

She threw him backwards and taking in a deep breath turned around and started walking, on her way out she waved without turning back and told him. "Goodbye! I hope to never see you again."

And with that she was out of the shop.

Tora sat there as she left, fury boiled inside of him at her insults. He ran a hand over his clothes to smother them out and drinking from his glass of wine he looked at the door she exited from and grinned.

You'll come back Misaki, and then I'll show you your place.
