Okay, guys. I have a confession to make. I had a really hard time writing this chapter. It must be because of Tsukushi's sudden change in character, so if you don't like this chapter, I apologize!

Three weeks had passed ever since the unfortunate event. Tsukasa would constantly try to call her, text her, and visit her in her own home, but he was rejected each time. Tsukasa was even more shocked to find out that Tsukushi and her family moved out of the large house Tsukasa had bought them. He told his secretary to check where they moved and he found out that the Tsukushi moved to another house. Tsukasa made a quick conclusion that they moved into a crappy old apartment, but he was stunned to find out that Tsukushi had saved enough money to buy her own house. Her house wasn't a regular, common house. It was just as big as their past home, and it was just as extravagant. Tsukushi bought a condominium for her family in the fishing village they requested to stay in. Tsukasa was surprised on how much money Tsukushi had saved over the years.

Tsukushi, on the other hand, found herself in a sticky situation. She didn't want to get back with Tsukasa after what she had seen. She found herself in an awkward position because whenever she tried to hang out with Sakurako, Shigeru, or Yuki, Tsukasa would be there because of the F4 members. She decided to avoid hanging out with them at all unless it didn't involve any of the members of the F4. Tsukushi was on her laptop frantically filing papers for her current case. She was defending a woman who wanted to have a divorce with her husband. The woman first caught her husband cheating on her, and she shunned the situation. In no time, he was physically abusing her. Tsukushi put herself into her position. What if she got married to Tsukasa and she caught him cheating on her? Next thing she knew, Tsukasa was abusing her. She shook the thoughts away from her mind and continued to file the important papers that were filled with vital information. Her phone rang, and she was glad that it wasn't Tsukasa. Hanazawa Rui. That was what it read. She picked up her phone and greeted him politely. He quickly ordered that she open the door so he could get in the house. Tsukushi had second thoughts. What if Tsukasa was with him? Rui would never do that. Rui was her best guy friend, and she trusted him to not make her angry. Rui smiled as she opened the door.

"Hello, Tsukushi. I haven't seen you in three weeks," Rui greeted.

"Well, sorry about that. I was really busy with work and with the sudden move," Tsukushi laughed nervously.

"Hm," he mumbled.

"How'd you figure out where I lived? I bet Shigeru told you, huh?" Tsukushi got off topic.

"Nope. I'm a rich man. I can get any information I want in a flash," he reminded her.

Tsukushi forgot how much power each of the F4 members had. They got whatever they wanted without any questions or complaints. They were the four luckiest guys in the world. They never had to experience hard, manual labor. They never had to worry if they were going to make the deadline for the rent payment. They never had their electricity cut off. They never cold water showers. They never experienced the hard lifestyle.

"Isn't that convenient? The F4 members get whatever they want," Tsukushi said coldly.

"What are you talking about?" Rui asked quietly.

"I know why you're here. You're here because you want me to get back with Tsukasa. I know that you four are so used to having so whatever you guys want in a snap, but I'm not one of those things. I'm not a toy that Tsukasa could play with, throw out, and want back. I'm a woman with values and ambition. If you're here to talk to me about Tsukasa or anything related to that curly headed ass, I suggest that you just leave," Tsukushi said slowly.

"Maybe that's why he always loved you," Rui laughed.

"What are you talking about?"

"Tsukasa doesn't think of you as his girl toy. If he wanted someone to play around with, he would have done so in high school and he currently wouldn't be a virgin. In other words, I believe that he didn't cheat on you on his own freewill. I'm not saying it because I'm his friend, but because that is what I believe," Rui lectured.

"Hanazawa Rui! What are you talking about? You're not making any sense!" Tsukushi accused.

"Listen to me! Isn't it a little weird that Tsukasa was on the floor that afternoon doing nothing? He hardly had the ability to talk!"

"That's it! He didn't do anything! I told him that if she ever tried making a move on him, he should push her away. He's obviously stronger than her! How could a tiny woman like her overpower him? It's obvious that he enjoyed it and he allowed her to kiss him. I'm done with him," Tsukushi promised.

"Do you still love him? After seeing what you saw three weeks ago, do you still love him?" Rui asked.

"Hanazawa Rui, please don't ask me that question. I really don't need this right now," Tsukushi pleaded.

"I need to know your answer! I'm your friend, and just because I'm not Shigeru, Sakurako, or Yuki, it doesn't mean that you should trust me any less! I know you, and you still love Tsukasa. You loved him so much that you agreed to get married to him! What kind of woman would agree to get married to a man she didn't love? Speak the truth!" Rui told her.

"Fine, I still do love him! I love him so much that I care about him more than I care about myself! I love him so much that I get angry at myself everyday for not being as affectionate with him as I would want to. I love him so much that I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than be with a man other than him," Tsukushi confessed as she fell to her knees.

Tsukushi felt vulnerable. Her knees and her hands were shaking. She felt like she was going crazy. She never understood how Rui could do this to her, but she was secretly grateful that he had this ability. He knew how to make her spill the beans, even if she refused to. Tears began falling off her cheeks. She never understood how one simple man could make her cry a river. She covered her eyes with her hands trying to avoid the embarrassment. Rui bended down and hugged her.

"I know you'll do the right thing. I just need you to work it out with Tsukasa. He's turned to the beast we all feared from the very beginning. He goes to work and then locks himself in his room the whole day. I heard from the house maids that he would only eat about one meal a day. And don't worry, Umi ran away right after what happened," Rui informed her as he pulled Tsukushi up.

As Rui pulled Tsukushi up, Soujiro came banging on Tsukushi's front door. Tsukushi answered the door quickly to find Soujiro and Akira with worried expressions. Just their facial expressions agonized Tsukushi. She knew that something was wrong and it was involving Tsukasa. If it wasn't involving Tsukasa, they wouldn't have bothered to go to Tsukushi for help.

"Tsukasa's missing!" Akira cried.

"What?" Tsukushi asked.

"We can't find him! He snapped when Akira mentioned you and he stormed out by foot!" Soujiro added in.

Tsukushi's phone then vibrated. This signaled her that her phone had just received a new message. She saw that Akira and Soujiro were giving Rui all the details, so she decided to read the text while she still had the privacy.

Tsukushi. I can't take it anymore. My life without you is worthless. If you won't take me back, there really is no point in living anymore. I want to say my goodbyes to you. I love you.

Tsukushi automatically made a small gasp. He was planning on killing himself! The rest of the F4 just stared at her after her frightened gasp.

"I need to go!" Tsukushi cried.

"Where are you going? Tsukasa's missing. Do you not care about him?" Akira yelled.

"Don't worry. She's probably making the right decision," Rui assured Akira as Tsukushi ran to her car and drove off into the distance.

Tsukushi knew exactly where Tsukasa was. If he was planning on killing himself, she knew where he would do it. He always said that he wanted to know how it felt to fall from heaven. Tsukushi knew by instinct that he was in the old bridge nearby his mansion. Tsukushi screamed in frustration as she tightened her grip on the steering wheel and stepped on the gas pedal. She felt as if it was all her fault. It's her fault if he gets hurt or if he takes his own life. If he gets hurt, Tsukushi would never forgive herself.

Well, guys! Sorry for the cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers when I'm the reader, but now that I'm the author, I understand why cliffhangers are there! Haha, sorry. I feel so evil for leaving it here.

The Engagement is ending soon! It was so fun writing it, but good things must come to an end. I really need to work on Fated and some other stories I had in my mind for a few months already! Thank you for reading this chapter!
