Prologue
"Let's end this." Kaede looked at her husband. Ryuutaro silently returned her glare.
"We only got married because of that one night's mistake and now we are just hurting each other." She continued.
"What about our kids? I'm not going to let you have them both." He looked at the two cribs where his son and daughter were peacefully sleeping, completely unaware of the important discussion of their parents.
"You can have Yuuki. I need a son to inherit the bussiness." Kaede replied calmly as if she didn't feel anything-
"You and your bussiness. Sometimes I wonder if there are any human feelings inside of you." Ryuutaro bitterly commented his wife's cold statement.
"Whether you believe it or not, I love my children." She gave him a very hard glare. Although their marriage was brief he could recognize a hint of pain hidden in her eyes. He sighed.
"Alright then. I agree." He gently took his baby daughter from the crib. "So this is a goodbye then. I guess we won't meet again."
"Yes." Kaede paused for a moment. "I'll let all of her things to be packed and I will send them anywhere you wish to go."
"No need. I'll take care of my daughter. Don't worry." Ryuutaro refused the offer.
"Alright then." She paused again. "Can I...?" She stretched her arms. Ryuutaro hesitated for a second but then he gave her the baby. Kaede turned away from him. She didn't want him to see the tears that appeared in the corners of her eyes.
She smelled the sweet scent of her daughter and silently whispered to her soft skin. "Goodbye, my sweet baby. I won't be able to see you growing up but I sincerely wish you'll be happy and perhaps, we'll meet again in the future. God knows I'll be praying for it."
When she turned back to her soon-to-be-ex-husband there wasn't even a slightest trace of sorrow in her face. She gave him the baby and watched him as he silently left the room without looking back.
She walked to the crib where her son was sleeping. She touched his cheek gently. "I promise that one day you'll meet your twin sister again. But until then, both of us have to be strong, my son."
