Chapter 1
Boston, USA
Carter Townhouse
"There you are Lily, have you just woken up?" asked Mr. Carter.
"Good morning, daddy. Yeah, I've just woken up. It was so tiring in the office yesterday," Lily answered.
"You are the one who insisted on doing overtime, Lily," Mr. Carter replied. "Today, I've a meeting with the Domyouji corporation,"
The Domyouji name struck Lily, but she didn't remember when and where she heard that name. "That's the biggest corporation in Japan, right?" she asked instead.
"Yes, the biggest corporation in your mother's country. The vice-president of the Domyouji Corporation is the one whom I'm going to meet. She didn't speak a word of English," Mr. Carter answered. "I'd like you to be my interpreter,"
"Me, daddy? But, you spoke perfect Japanese,"
Mrs. Carter heard the conversation between her daughter and her husband.
"I want to make her think that I don't understand Japanese, Lily," answered Mr. Carter.
"Go ahead, Lily," Mrs. Carter spoke. "You are just being an interpreter, it's not that hard,"
"Yeah somehow," Lily answered. "Ok, daddy. I'll be your interpreter,"
Mr. Carter nodded. He gazed into his wife's eyes. He knew his wife do not want Lily to meet Domyouji Kaede, yet. But it has been four long years.

Japan...
The F4, Shigeru, Sakuroko, Shizuka, Yuuki and Kazuya met each other at the Ming Temple. Its the anniversary of Tsukushi's death.
"We hope you rest in peace," they said to Tsukushi's smiling face in the framed photograph.
"It's been four long years since you left us," Rui whispered.
"It's been four long years since you left me," Tsukasa whispered.
~~After the ceremony~~~
"Well, I've to go to work," Tsukasa broke the silence. "My mother's calling me to go to New York,"
"A new business deal, Tsukasa?" asked Soujiro.
Tsukasa nodded. "My mother's having a meeting with Carter Corporation. She wanted me to accompany her,"
Tsukasa left after that.
"You know... at this moment, I missed Tsukushi the most," Shigeru said. "I really missed her,"
"We all do, Shigeru," Soujiro admitted.
"Yeah, we all missed the weed," Akira seconded.
"Domyouji-san is tough, he didn't show that he missed Tsukushi that much," Yuuki said.
They all nodded.
"But he's the one who missed her the most," Rui spoke. 'Same like me,' he thought.

Boston, USA
Carter Corporation...
"Good Morning, Mr. Carter, Miss Carter," greeted the receptionist, as both Mr. Carter and Lily walked towards the lift.
"Good morning," Lily greeted all of them. The lift brought them straight to the Presidential office. The secretary, Jennifer, greeted both of them.
"Good morning, Mr. Carter, Miss Carter," Jennifer greeted.
"Jennifer, what time is the meeting with the Domyouji Corporation?" asked Mr. Carter.
"Mr. Carter. The Vice-President of the Domyouji Corporation cancelled the meeting today," answered Jennifer.
Mr. Carter sighed.
"Well, if that's the case. I'm going to the Marketing Department. I want to work today, daddy," Lily spoke. Mr. Carter nodded. Lily went to the marketing department, while he entered his office.
The phone rang. Mr. Carter picked it up.
"Hello," he greeted.
"Has she met Domyouji yet?" asked the person on the line.
"No. Kaede Domyouji cancelled the meeting today. Haruko, don't worry. I don't think Kaede Domyouji will recognise her," answered Mr. Carter.
"Nick, Domyouji Kaede's the reason why she can't remember anything. Domyouji Kaede's the reason why I lost my son," Mrs. Carter replied.
"Don't worry about it. Okay, Haruko, I think she's entering my office," Mr. Carter said.
Mrs. Carter hung up the phone.

New York,
Domyouji Corporation
The next day...
Domyouji Tsukasa arrived in New York. He didn't know why his mother need his company to clinch the deal with Carter Corporation.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion...
"You are late by a day," Domyouji Kaede told her son.
"We were remembering Tsukushi that day. I couldn't go that day," Tsukasa defended himself.
"You still remember the girl. She's dead, Tsukasa. There's no point in remembering her," Domyouji Kaede told.
"Why do you ask me to accompany you to meet the president of Carter Corporation?" asked Tsukasa instead.
"Why, to let you meet the heiress of the Carter Corporation of course," Domyouji Kaede answered. "He has a daughter. She is half-Japanese, here, read her bio yourself,"
Her personal secretary handed over the biodata of the heiress' to Tsukasa.
"No photographs of her, mother?" Tsukasa asked.
"Carter protects her too well. Even the SPs cannot get a photograph of her. She's always indoors, and the Carter Townhouse is hard to approach, and has a lot of security," answered Domyouji Kaede.
"Lily Carter" Tsukasa said to himself.
