The next day

Breaking News

"We just received word that one of the Tachibana branches was declared to be shutting down for some particular reason," The anchorwoman said drastically looking towards the camera.

"We have no leads on how or why he was shutting down. Could it be that the company is going bankrupt? Or is this more to this?" The anchorman next to his fellow partner questions.

"The moment we have any leads on this, star news network will keep you posted. In other news.."

"Damn Misaki," kou states turning off the television in her office. "You shut down one of their branches, now that's amazing," He adds clapping his hands.

Misaki sighs hearing his comment. "It all begins here. The Tachibana family will be at our necks too."

Kou nodded understanding that there was more to come. "But they had it coming. They must be just as bad as the Walker family, they're hurting innocent families just for power."

"Naruse Ibara, Haruto Kurosawa and Ayumu Narumi. They all used to do deals with Walker Inc but things weren't adding up on their side. They knew Walker Inc wasn't holding up their sides of the deals and so they all cancelled there deals," Misaki explains standing up from her chair and hands Kou some files. "Naruse and Ayumu have already become business associates to Gold partners, I need you to go get Haruto on our side."

"Yes ma'am," Kou answers looking into the files. He takes a glance towards Misaki and sees her working away behind her desk. She did this every time this day came around. "Misaki, please just go home."

Misaki looked up from her paperwork after hearing Kou's request. "Why should I do that?"

Kou gave her a look that said are-you-kidding-me. "You know what I mean."

Misaki ran her right hand through her raven locks and sighed."I'm fine, I really am," She answers but Kou didn't believe her.

"Misak-"

"Listen I'm fine, now leave or do I need another assistants!?" Misaki yells snapping at Kou. She really didn't mean that and he knew she didn't. Maybe he should let her cool off since he knew why she was acting this way.

"I'll be at my desk if you need me," He bows and leaves the room.

Misaki watched as he left her alone. She really wanted to apologise for speaking to him that way but she just didn't know how in the moment. This day was a day with much meaning to her. It was filled with sorrow for her because of the past.

She stares at her pile of work. Misaki picks up another document and begins to read through it. This is how she always spent this one day just to take her mind off of what was killing her deep inside about this date.

She prayed deep inside to be able to forget about it and hoped the day was just pass quickly. And as she had prayed for, the day when on like this, with Misaki stuck in her office at work and her employee's worrying about her.

Night time

Takumi's apartment

Aiko had somehow managed to bribe a guard to let her into Takumi's apartment because it was an emergency. But in truth, she just wanted to surprise him when he came from work and she wanted to have a chat with him about this Misaki chick. Her family knew it was her that had something to do with the closer of one of their branches. They were most definitely going to help Walker Inc get rid of her.

She rested her gucci bag on his couch and began to inspect the apartment of her future husband. There really wasn't much furniture to look at in his apartment. At long last she made it to his bedroom and opened the door to be welcomed by an almost unfurnished Bedroom.

"Why doesn't he have anything in his apartment?" She wondered to herself.

She notices a small box on his nightstand and goes to take a look. She realises it to be a box for an engagement ring. Aiko gets excited and rushes to open it. She was in shock by how beautiful the ring was. It had many diamonds encrusted on it but somehow it managed to look so simple.

Suddenly, there was a click sound and the bedroom door opened revealing an angry Takumi. But what made him more angry was what he saw her holding.

"Takumi! The ring is beautiful, I-"

But she didn't get to finish as Takumi lunged at her and took the ring. "Never. Touch. This. Again," He warns her with a glare that sent chills through her body.

"Why? If it's for me then…" She stops in her tracks when she realises who the rings for. "It's for her, are you kidding me?"

This Misaki girl was ruining everything.

"Did you know she closed down a branch of belonging to my family? How can you still keep that ring, she's nothing but a low life commoner whor-"

"Aiko, I'm warning you. If you don't leave now, I'll do something I won't regret."

Aiko saw the look in his eye and knew he wasn't kidding. She would leave for now but this wasn't going to be the last of this conversation but it will be the last of Misaki.

Takumi calms down once he hears his door close. He looks at the ring and rests it back into the box. Maybe one day it's true owner would wear it.

Flashback

Misaki and Takumi walk hand in hand, walking down the busy street looking around at the fancy stores. They stopped once they came across a store showing off it's engagement rings.

"Look at that one," Misaki said pointing to the one with the many diamonds. "Must have cost a lot of money to make. You rich people really have no limit."

Takumi chuckles at her statement. "Who knows, maybe that could belong to you."

Misaki stares at the ring. "It's beautiful but something like that won't ever belong to someone like me. Let's go get ice cream," She changes the subject and walks away.

Takumi looked at the ring in the display window. He had now found the perfect one for her.

Takumi smiles alone in his apartment at his old memories with her. If only she knew how much he still loved her.

Misaki's Office

Misaki was still sitting in the same position from this morning. She had not eaten nor had any rest for the whole day. For God sake it was nearing 10 pm and she was in the office since 6 am. Kou had become very concern for her. Ichigo had even called a few times just to check up on her.

Kou didn't care anymore even if she would threaten to fire him. He was going to tell her what was on his mind and it was that she needed rest.

He opened her door without knocking her and surprised her with his sudden visit because she thought he left.

"Kou, why are-"

"Misaki you need to go home dammit. I know this day is hard for you, it's also hard for those around you too. I hate seeing you like this every time this day comes around. Just please," He begged looking at her seeing now that her head was bowed.

"Sorry," She weeped. "I'm sorry!"

He knew what that sorry was for, so he walked over to hug her and pat her back. "I'll make them pay Misaki, I'll make them all pay for causing you to lose your baby."
