Prologue

Ranka's pov

It was only a one night stand... Only a one night stand. I will never even see the woman again. No. My wife doesn't have to know... she doesn't ever have to find out. I don't have to tell her. It was nothing. Just a random girl that I brought home from a bar one night. Sure, we may have had sex but it didn't mean anything. I love my wife more than anything in the world. That woman, no, that entire night was a mistake... a disaster. It will never happen again, so I don't really have to tell her do I..?. No of course not... it would kill her. I don't want to hurt her; she is my wife after all. And I do love her dearly. It won't happen again. Never. Plus... it happened about 4 months ago... there is no point bringing it up now, right?

I was broken out of my rambling thoughts by the doorbell. When I answered it I saw none other than my one-time mistress. Well I guess its true what they say, speak of the devil and she shall appear.

"What do you want?" I snapped.

"I just want to talk, just for a second. Please, it's important." I watched her. She seemed upset, so I let her in. She slipped past me and I noticed that she had gained a little weight.

"So, what do you want?" I snapped again, closing the door behind her.

"I just thought you needed to know, that you would like to know, or at least that you should know-"

"-Know what?" I interrupted. I was quickly becoming impatient and agitated.

"I'm pregnant... I want to keep it." I was shocked. I felt my jaw drop open and my eyes almost burst from my sockets.

"W-what?" She couldn't be pregnant. I didn't want her to be pregnant. Even if she was I didn't want her to keep it.

"I. Am. Pregnant... and don't worry I don't expect you to help, or be around but... i just thought you would want to know."

"Good, because I am not going to be around. It was a mistake, a stupid one-night stand that shouldn't have happened. I don't want anything to do with it." With that said she stood up and made her way out of the apartment. I sat bolt straight, still in complete shock.

What am I going to do?

15 months later

Mistress's pov (I didn't feel the need to name her)

I stared down at my beautiful 10-month-old baby girl and smiled. I couldn't help but smile looking at her, she was just so cute. She had pale skin and pink lips, making her look more English than Japanese. Thick brown hair and captivating eyes that I swear change colour. Sometimes they are brown; others hazel, and sometimes they are a beautiful emerald green. Clearly she took after me far more than her father. Eyes like that are extremely rare in Japan, but I guess she got her eyes from me... although my eyes are brown, my mother, who is English, has bright green eyes. Actually, hers change colour too. I remember when I was a little girl, I used to admire my mother's eyes... sometimes they were yellow, sometimes green and rarely they were a dull grey colour.

I suddenly got the feeling that someone was watching me. I tore me eyes from my baby's beautiful face and looked around only to lock eyes with... her father. I saw him look from me to the baby a few times before frowning and walking away in the opposite direction.

I didn't really care about what he thought. After all... he did say that he wanted nothing to do with her. Besides, she was mine. No-one else's. She was my baby and I loved her more than anything in the world.

5 years later

Sora's pov (the baby)

My name is Sora Minami. My mum is Aiko Minami. My step-dad is Ren Minami. I live with my mummy and my step-dad, but my step-dad is more of my daddy than my real daddy was. I never knew my real daddy and he never knew me.

I was in the park playing on the slide. My mummy was sitting on the bench near the park. I looked around and spotted a strange man staring at her from across the park. I started to get scared so I ran over to my mummy.

"Mummy, that strange man is scaring me. He keeps looking over and staring at you."

"It's ok sweetie. Come on. We will go and talk to him. Tell him to leave us alone ok?"

I nodded and held my mummy's hand as we walked over to the man. He looked from me to mummy and back to me again. I started getting scared again so I walked closer to mummy and she squeezed my hand. We walked over and mummy and the man started arguing. I was only 5 and couldn't keep up with a lot, but I did understand a little bit.

"You are scaring my daughter."

"She is my daughter also."

At that I decided to stop listening altogether. This man was my real daddy? I stood and watched as my mummy and the man argued. I refused to think of this man as my daddy. Ren is my daddy.

Suddenly they stopped arguing and I looked up to see the man staring at me.

"Mummy... I want to go home." I whispered, uncomfortable under the man's stare.

She nodded and pulled me away... we went home and I never saw my 'real daddy' again.
