CHAPTER 3
In the country house
Misaki was alone in the room that had once belonged to her when she was a child. This house had belonged to them ever since she was three. It was her mother's house. Her father never really cared for it. It still looked the same as the last time she left it.
She had so many good memories with her mother here. Her mother had fell in love with this country house the first moment she saw it and Misaki was with her on that day.
It was the day when her mother and father had had a long argument and her mother had left the house. Misaki followed her then, and her mother took her along as they drove off to a far off distance, until her mother saw this house and stopped driving.
Her father hardly spent time with her mother and her. He was in the huge mansion in the city doing his job. She felt that her mother didn't like that mansion for she always felt cold and lonely. She didn't blame her mother. Though she loved the spaces the mansion offered her as a child, she also didn't like the cold and empty rooms and the stone like servants walking around.
So she spent most of her childhood in this house with her mother, until she reached the age of eight. They had returned to the city and to the big mansion to bring her back for the start of school. She had left that day to school, but when it was time to return, her mother never came to pick her up.
Later on, her father had told her that her mother had been in a hurry and slipped off the huge marble stairs, which the maid had washed that day. The doctor only confirmed later on that she died from a broken neck.
She cried so hard when her mother passed away that now she had no more tears to shed for her father's sudden departure. She never understood her father much, for he never gave her any warmth. It was always pity, and sorrow, and anger that she felt for him. Perhaps, that was one of the reasons why she could not shed any tears for him.
Now that she was alone in this world, without her mother and her father, she wonder where she would go. All her grandparents had deceased, and her aunts and uncles? Did she have any aunts and uncles that she didn't know of?
She couldn't return to school. She had no money, and she only learned now that she was responsible for a $7 million debt her father had left her.
A loud noise down in the living room woke her up from her thoughts and she quickly went out of the room to see who had came to visit her.
。。。。。AWARMHEART 。。。。。
Takumi came into the house impatiently, wanting to get the meeting over. He looked around the small room unimpressed. Mr. Jaglick followed behind him calmly as Takumi looked angrily around, angry at everything he saw. This place was no better than his maids's room, he thought unkindly, and he had to waste his time coming here to meet a girl who probably was no better than many of his fortune-hunter girlfriends, who would be very happy to know that she was included in the wills of the billionaire Yuu Walker.
The stairs to the right creaked and he turned to look at it. To his shocked the girl, no, woman he saw there surprised him.
She was dressed in a plain black blouse and skirt. Her hair was let down loose and she was beautiful and young, but the look on her eyes surprised him the most. She glared at him hatefully, as if he had no right to be here, in this plain house that he couldn't imagine living in.
She slowly came down the stairs and turned her attention to Mr. Jaglick. To Takumi's surprise again, she gave Mr. Jaglick the same look she gave him and when she reached the bottom of the stairs, she walked straight up to his lawyer, as if he, the son of the billionaire Yuu Walker, was unimportant.
"Are you Mr. Walker?" she asked Mr. Jaglick, startling them both.
Mr. Jaglick gave out a light laugh and shook his head, as Takumi looked annoyingly to them, annoyed that she didn't know who he was.
"I am Mr. Walker," Takumi remarked rather rudely.
She turned to eye him in suspicion.
"I was told that Mr. Yuu Walker would meet me," she replied.
Takumi's eyebrows raised and he turned away and laughed cynically, surprised that she didn't know his father nor him.
Mr. Jaglick spoke then. "Mr. Yuu Walker unfortunately passed away a year ago, Miss Ayuzawa."
Misaki looked in shock and confusion.
Takumi turned to look at her again, this time with insulting eyes. "I am Mr. Yuu Walker's son, Takumi Walker."
A/N: At first I was thinking of putting Edward Walker as the father but then I realized that Takumi doesn't looked like him so I'm putting Yuu instead. Like the manga stating, Takumi got his look from his father(?) except for the hair. And yes, since this story is AU and characters are OOC, I'm naming him Yuu Walker instead of his real last name.
