Author's note: I'm terribly sorry for the late update. I have lots of school assignments and most of all, I have to write two Chinese compositions composing 800 words for the contests in China and Taiwan. And typing them in the computer is an eyesore!!

Mai was confined in the hospital for only three day. The baby was doing fine and the doctor prescribed her medicines to ensure their health. Yasuhara insisted on driving Mai back home thought the brunette said he doesn't have to do it. It was already afternoon when they reached the Davis manor as servants lineup at the doorway to welcome Mai.
"Thank you, Yasuhara," she bowed to him gratefully. "I owe a lot from you. I don't know hoe to pay you back."
"Anything for you. I want you to always call me for help. I want to be always the first person to come to your aid," he smiled cheerfully. "You know how much I love you."
Mai's expression saddened upon hearing his last sentence. "Please don't say that. The more you help me, the more I feel guilty. I know I'm hurting you so much, but I can't return your feeling for me…"
"I'll wait… forever…" he smiled again. "By the way, I have a gift for you."
"I'm the one who's in debt with you and then, you're giving me gift. That's…"
"I really wanted to give this to you ever since," he glanced at the servants telling Mai that he wanted to be alone with her. Mai got his message and signaled them to go inside which they obediently followed.
"So what is it?"
"Can you close your eyes?"
"Alright!" she agreed and did what he told so as Yasuhara slowly leaned towards the brunette giving Mai as quick peck on her cheek. Mai flinched as her reaction. She had no idea what to say and there was silence.
"See you next time… bye…" he then stepped back to his car and drove off. unknown to the two was a pair of dark blue colored eyes witnessed the whole thing as the narcissist clasp his fist in anger. He was mentally cursing his college friend.
--ooo000ooo--
Mai languidly entered their room still wearing a shocked face. She was gently caressing the cheek Yasuhara kissed and was still spacing out.
"Are you satisfied now?" she then woke u from her trance. The brunette didn't even notice that Naru was there standing by their veranda.
"Satisfied? Of what?" she asked blankly.
"Are you not satisfied when I kiss you that you need other to kiss you as well?" jealousy was definitely behind his voice.
Mai then figured out what he meant. He should have seen Yasuhara kissed her, but it wasn't malicious or anything bad for Mai. "Hey! Don't think like that! It's not-"
"Mai!" he shouted angrily. He hurriedly walked towards his wife, pinned her on the wall and kissed her roughly. That was not like Naru at all! He was becoming aggressive that it started to hurt Mai physically. His grip of her was so tight that it created red marks on her wrists; Mai was weak to resist, but she tried her very best to push him away. With all Naru's strength, not letting go of his lips' contact with Mai's, he belligerently threw Mai to the bed in such a way he was on top of her. Mai silently cried and she had long stopped resisting. It was useless. If she becomes careless, the baby might get in danger. After a few minutes, Naru ceased and looked at Mai ruefully. He had gone very far like he lost control of himself. Speechless Naru just exited their room without any word while Mai wailed non-stop. She wasn't sobbing for what Naru has just done to her, but for their relationship. Why are there so many hindrances before they can all be happy?
--ooo000ooo--
That night, the couple didn't talk and they just pass each other in silence. The maids were also getting negative vibes from them and made the manor's atmosphere cold and eerie. The next morning, life went on just how it usually does. President Davis came back from his trip in Germany and summoned his son to his office. Their sales were horribly decreasing and more importantly, the rumor he has been hearing about his daughter-in-law and Naru. When he arrived, his assistant, Ishida confirmed this to him and they were all over the newspaper and the Internet.
"Explain yourself," he commanded softly placing the newspaper on the table to let him see it.
"Father, I believe this is something I have to discuss with Mai in lieu."
"I don't know what's going in your head, but put your wife's feeling into a kind consideration," the older man said. "The kind of world we have lived is completely different from her. Don't expect Mai to understand everything about you…"
"I know that…" he calmly replied.
"I hope you're really paying attention with what I'm telling to you.Sometimes... you let me wonder if I ever did choose the right decision to pass on the company to you…" Naru scowled upon hearing this. He had never disappointed someone in his life. "Are you aware of the distrust the stock holders giving you? Because of these…" he sighed dejectedly.
"I'll fix these myself,' he then excused himself. Naru knew his full potential than anyone else in the world.
"I believe in you, my son," he smiled.
"Thank you, father…" Suddenly, the president was having difficulty to breathe and was gasping hard for air. There was a severe pain from his chest. Oh my, the president was suffering from a heart attack! "FATHER!!"
--ooo000ooo--
Mai came rushing to the hospital as soon as she heard what happened to her kind father-in-law, she found Naru sitting beside the president and two bodyguards standing at the room's door.
She breathed heavily for more air. Her doctor will scold her for running especially with her delicate condition. "How's father?" Mai asked worriedly.
"I still don't know," Naru shrugged and soon their family doctor entered together with the medical results. "What's his condition, doc?"
"I'm afraid the President is not doing fine," she frowned. "He had and heart attack and now, he's in a coma."
"What will happen after this? What can we do?" Mai gazed at Naru and back to the doctor.
"All we can do now is to pray and wait for the president to wake up if he ever will. Don't loose hope," she sympathized with them. "Oh wait! Mai you can't stay in the hospital for long. It'll be detrimental for the baby," and she left them.
Silence wrapped the two. Maybe, it was about time to clarify things between them; Mai was the one who started to talk. "I'm sorry. I wasn't able to tell you this, but you're going to be a father… I just knew it last week…" she proclaimed with a soft voice. Naru, not wasting any second, hugged Mai securely in his arms. He never felt delighted like this before!
"Mai…" he whispered her name with such passion in his voice.
--ooo000ooo--
The couple decided to go and talk at the hospital's garden. Nobody can describe the happiness Naru was feeling inside. "Mai…" he repeated her name as the narcissist hold the brunette's warm hand.
Mai knew that Naru, being the Naru he is, would never apologize and say sorry directly. "Things have been passing so fast lately, right?" He nodded and remained silent for a while. He just stared directly at Mai's big chocolate eyes.
She lightly embraced Naru and kissed him softly. The raven-haired man was frozen by his wife's unexpected action. "Let's start all over again…" she smiled gleefully and hugged him. Naru embraced Mai back as tears flow from the brunette's eyes.
"I love you," he murmured right through her ears.
