Hey guys! I added a few minor changes here and there. It won't change the plot much, so it's up to you to read the whole story again. Let's continue with the story.

Chapter 3

Misaki scanned through the crowd hoping that Tora would have cancelled. But there he was, sitting right in the middle of the restaurant underneath the big chandelier. He waved over to them. Chiyo smiled as usual. Usui gripped her hand tightly. Misaki didn't know whether it was for support or due to jealousy. But then she wondered why he would be jealous. She then looked around admiring the murals on the wall. The restaurant was certainly grand and elegant. Tora had requested a special table for them right in the middle. As if he wanted to grab everyone's attention. This made her look around. Is there press anywhere? Her thoughts were going faster than the speed of light.
"He won't call press here. A dinner with the wife and ex-girlfriend is not exactly favourable publicity. Just sit back and enjoy our fake date."Usui said his tone unusually serious.
But Misaki couldn't shake the thought of her head. They had to be extremely careful while dealing with someone like Tora. You never knew what to expect. Did he plan on making her lose her temper and create some sort of scandal?
They sat down quietly at the table. Tora said "I took the liberty of ordering for you. Don't worry Misaki, I took your allergies into account and made sure not to order spaghetti". He was looking at directly at Usui.
"Spaghetti?" What the hell was he talking about? Why was he looking at Usui? Did they know each other? Her mind was bombarded with questions. Usui calmly said thank you.
The dinner turned out to be awkwardly silent save for the occasional staring war that had Usui and Tora occupied. Chiyo clearly uncomfortable with the silence spoke " Ayuzawa-san, I loved your report on the history of business mergers." History of business mergers? Wasn't that her college report? How did she know about it?
Chiyo said "I am a Tokyo business school graduate too". She continued "You are kinda my inspiration. I have read all your reports and projects. I would love to head a Multinational company like you do! You somehow always get the deal! You are just amazing".
Misaki was now plain confused. Was her ex's wife complimenting her? Misaki found it hard to understand Chiyo. She seemed demure one minute and chirpy the next. Was the whole thing just an act? Was she trying to bring her down like Tora was? The evening went from silent to weird. All Misaki did was smile.
"So where did you meet?" Tora asked which made Misaki nearly choke on her seafood. Usui said "Oh,we met at my office." Well, it was partially true. If you considering crashing into his office a meeting. Misaki thought. Chiyo excited by the new topic asked "How did you two meet?" Misaki went blank. Misaki and Usui had thought of everything just in case earlier. But right now her brain has chosen to stay shut. As usual, Usui came to the rescue. "Misaki was fresh out of a break up. She was totally heartbroken. The guy she used to date was complete and absolute jerk." He stared at Tora. Then he continued " I consoled her. We then became close. I had been in love with her ever since we met. She didn't realize that she was the one who was actually healing me. The day she accepted my love was the happiest day of my life."
Misaki looked at Usui eyes. They seemed somehow realistic as if he was saying his real story. Their story. He almost got emotional. Was that how he wanted their story to become?

Chiyo immediately said "Ooh, how romantic! I wish I had a love story like that. Ours is an arranged marriage. I wanted to study more and start a company of my own, but my father thought that it would be better if I married some businessman and assist him instead. He believes I would not fare well in this cut throat world. I was initially reluctant but now I am glad I married Tora" She linked her arms with Tora's.

Misaki didn't know if Chiyo knew about her past relationship with Tora but she seemed to be pretty frank with her. Chiyo seemed naive. Did she not know how much of a womanizer Tora was? Or had Tora changed for her? Impossible. Why did Tora marry her? Was it for power? No there were more powerful families. More rich and powerful girls who would love to be the . If this girl was as innocent as she seemed then she was in deep trouble. As she continued thinking she didn't realize that dinner was over. Tora and Chiyo bowed politely and left. Usui offered to take her upstairs to her room but she declined. She needed fresh air. So she headed towards the garden.
There was a small portico that leads to the shore nearby. The ocean had always calmed her. It was one of those places where she had sweet memories. That one holiday where her parents actually spent time with her. Where they were the small family she loved. Before they became successful.
She needed to think. She knew it was none of her business, but she wanted to make sure Chiyo knew what she was getting into. Misaki was blind by love and had refused to believe that Tora had cheated on her. That he was just using her. She didn't want Chiyo to suffer the same fate. Her thoughts were rudely interrupted as a pair of hands pinned her to the wall. It was Tora! "God, Misaki you don't know how much I missed you." He said smiling deviously as he leaned in to forcibly kiss her.
