Chapter 1
Mikan Sakura- 23 years old
Natsume Hyuuga- 25 years old
It was been a year since Natsume and I are married and it has been the best thing has ever happened to me. He keeps me happy and makes sure I have everything that I needed to happy and I do the same for him. Today I had woken up early and found myself alone on the bed. He was gone without kissing me good morning like he usually does. I know that he has been stressing out lately about some certain deal; he even had to go overseas for two weeks in order to get it. I hope his effort pays off. I can't wait for this deal to be sealed and over so he and I came spend some time together because I truly miss him, a lot. I felt so distant but I know that it is for a good cause.
Before Natsume and I had meet he used to be a playboy because a certain girl that broke his heart. Who you may ask? It was the one and only Luna Kozomi. (N/A: Sorry guys I don't know how to spell her last name. comment in the review to let me know if I did it right or wrong.) She broke his heart by cheating on him with someone else. When Natsume and I had met he was rude and harsh to me all the time but as time went by he became soft and mischievous and handsome as ever. I am so glad he is not the playboy he used to me, his family are all so supportive or him and his friends. Soon his friends and family warmed up to me and couldn't have asked for a better life.
Right now I am heading to Anna's bakery to get a 'happy anniversary' cake. Anna and I have been friends since high school and she is the sweetest girl I have known. She is now engaged to Kitsuneme, who works for Natsume and his company. They both meet here at the bakery, which a long story but they are good for each other. I enter the bakery and greet Anna,
"Hello Anna." I say and turn her head with a smile and greet me back. Another thing you should now about Anna is that she is an amazing baker.
"Is my cake ready." I ask her.
"Yes, just the way you wanted it. By the way happy anniversary." She congrats me and I thank her. I looked at the cake and it was gorgeous, just the way I had imaged it.
"So, how are you and Kitsuneme?" I question her with grin and see her blush deep red. I mentally laugh.
"He's is really sweet and caring, sometimes and idiot but good but lately I feel that he is hiding something from me." She says the last part sadly. I motion for her to go on.
"He comes home late at night sometimes and I get worried. I understand that he has office works but I know that it is something else that has been bothering him. I confronted but change the topic. I getting scared Mikan." She confesses to me indirectly. I can see what she means. You see Kitsuneme is her second relationship; her first one was bad because of her boyfriend, Akio. She walked in on him on day and found him cheating on her with some other girl. That broke her heart immensely and had a hard time recovering. She got over with a little help from her cousin Nonoko and through her she meet Kitsuneme.
"Everything will be alright Anna. Ask him when he is not tired and he will tell you." I tell her and say goodbye to her and leave. I drive all the way home to surprise Natsume. Thankfully it wasn't nighttime yet only midday, which leaves me a lot of time to plan a party for us.
When I got home, and I entered quietly so no one would be able to hear me. I went to the kitchen and place the cake in the fridge. Then all of the sudden I hear voices down the hall. I walk quietly and realize they were coming from Natsume's cabin, and the closer I got I recognized who they belong to; Hotaru, Koko, Ruka and Natsume. I thought he said that he wasn't going to be home in a while. I was listening and not making a sound so I could hear what they were talking about. Maybe it is a surprise gift that Natsume is planning to give me today. I listen…
"Natsume, when are you going to stop this?" I hear Hotaru question Natsume angrily. Why is she so angry?
"There is nothing to stop when I haven't started anything." He grumpily replies back. What were they talking about?
"Are you kidding me right now?" Koko says mad. Why are they so angry at him? What is going on? I was about to open the door until I heard…
"How long are planning on hiding it from Mikan-sama? More importantly how long are we suppose to keep it from her?" I heard Kitsuneme ask him aggressively. Huh? Natsume was hiding something from me? What are they all hiding from me? I continue to listen.
"Kitsuneme you better shut up soon." Natsume growls back at her.
"No Natsume. He is right. When are going to stop seeing her?" Ruka says. Her. Natsume was seeing someone. A girl. I feel betrayed. Tears were threating to come. Natsume was not saying anything
"Hyuuga when are you going to stop seeing Luna!?" Hotaru shouted and my world stopped. He was seeing Luna, his ex-girlfriend, all this time? How long where they doing this? it couldn't bare it anymore so I opened the door and looked at their shocked faces. All eyes were on me, but my eyes were on Natsume.
"Mikan." I heard Hotaru say, but didn't dare look at her. I trusted her since we were diaper kids and now, I have no words for her. I walk up to Natsume's desk, and I see something that catches my eyes. I look to see photos of Natsume and Luna together, hugging, talking, and one picture of him kissing her, in bed. I grab the kissing one and hold it up. I know this is from the two weeks business trip and now I know what business he was doing for the two weeks. He has been cheating on me the longest time ever. I put the picture down at face, and go around his desk so now I am standing in front of him.
"Mikan, listen I…" he is cut off when…
SLAP!
I slap him across his face hard. Everyone was in shock by now and no sound was heard, only the slap.
"How long?" I ask him, trying to keep my voice as hard as possible. He turns face to look at me. There is anger and guilt written on his face but nothing is going to stop me from getting answers right now. He didn't say anything.
"I am going to ask again Natsume, how long?" I repeat, harshly.
"Four mouths." He says lowly and I couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears were flowing down like water and I feel like I could break down any minute. I close my eyes and exhale through my nose. I look at him with coldly
"Divorce me." And with that everyone gasps, even Nats—er Hyuuga. I look at him coldly last time and head out the door. I heard his voice but I ignored him and went to get my things. I grabbed my phone, purse and car keys to head out the door only to be blocked by Hyuuga.
"Listen to me Mikan, I…" I cut him off.
"Don't say my name that disgusting mouth of yours Hyuuga." I say icily at him and he is taken back by my tone. I walked around him now to be stopped by Hota— Imai now.
"Mikan please, don't do this. Trust me. I…" I icily laugh at her statement just now. I look at her and say, "Trust you Imai, is most impossible thing for me to do right now. You hid something from me. Something big that was affecting my life."
She looked at me apologetically but bypassed that. "I trusted you, but know I see that it was one of the mistakes of my life." I quickly walked her and looked at back at all of them "Tomorrow I will have the divorce papers by my layer in the morning." and ahead out the door so there would be no more blocking in my way. I got in my car and headed to my home.
I kept knocking at the door until my mom opened it. She looked at me worried and quickly took me in. We sat on the sofa, and I cried my heart out in her chest and she kept 'shhing' me and asking me what happened.
"What happened sweetie?" she asked softly.
"Natsume cheated on me." And as soon as those words left my mouth my mom hugged me tighter towards her and whispered smoothing things to her. Once my cried and down and I stopped hiccupping I explained everything to her and she was surprised and horrified, especially with Hotaru.
It was night now and I got dressed in my pajamas. I was sitting on the sofa drinking hot chocolate, and watching whatever was on T.V. My mom and I lived together for the longest time I can remember. My dad left us, when I was eight years old because he had found someone else. My mother was heartbroken; she managed to stay strong for me as I did with her. She called Hikari, our lawyer and told her to file the divorce papers by morning, but luckily Hikari said that she had a client earlier with the same case and had an extra copy so instead of tomorrow morning she would be here soon.
Next thing you know, the doorbell rang. Mom went and opened the door and in came Hikari. She sat down next to my mom and explained the process to us.
"Well Mikan I have the papers and all I need you to do is sign here on the papers and your part of the process is complete. Then Mr. Hyuuga can sign tomorrow and it would not be necessary your presence, unless you wish." She explains and I nod, but deny going to face my hus—ex-husband. I signed the papers without a second thought.
"Do you want anything shares or money from Mr. Hyuuga?" she questions but I say no. I don't want that bastard's money he can spend it all on his girlfriend for all I care.
Soon Hikari left which left mom and me to talk about our next steps. It was night-time now and we both were in deep thoughts. Mainly me. I needed a job to support myself; I can't rely on her money all the time. My mother is a well-business woman, with the help of her elder brother Shiku who lives in California, my mum and had settled quickly.
"If you want Mikan, I can ask your uncle Shiku to help you out. He called me couple days ago saying he was looking for a P.A and will pay well. Do want me to ask him if the place is still available?" she questions and I think about it. I do need a job and working for my uncle could be a good start. That way, I can get good pay and stay in touch with my mom, and wouldn't feel so lonely. I accept the offer and my mom phones her brother.
"Good news Mikan, the job is available and he would love to meet you." She says happily and I smile.
"Ok mom, but where will I live?" I question her and she asks uncle. A smile forms on her face meaning she has good news.
"He says he has am apartment he can give but you will have a roommate and a little boy to settle with." She says and I accept the offer. I didn't mind having some one around to talk to in the house and I love kids. So it would be no problem, I hope. My mother books me a flight, and I request the earliest, which is at 8:00 in the morning. I begin packing my bags and realized that something was on my hand.
It was my wedding ring. I remember the day when Natsume and I got married and it was the happiest the of my life, but now I look at it, it was nothing but dust. Fake, dirty, and washed away with salty water. I take off my finger and place it on the dresser. I write a note and put it inside the envelope and place the ring inside it.
Soon I hit the bed and let sleep take over me.
