Changes

Chapter 3

The drive to the mansion was relatively quiet as Amelia looked out the window in awe pointing at the many different sights. When they arrived, Asami got out of the car first before helping Amelia out. She looked around in pure awe and happiness. She took his hand once more as he led her inside.

"This is your new home." He said crouching down to her level. "You'll be staying in the guest room for now but tomorrow you can pick out different decorations and toys."

"Ok papa." She says giving him another smile. He smiled back at her. He could get use to having Amelia around.

"What the hell is this?!" A voiced yelled. He knew he had forgotten something.

Asami turned around to see Chihori descending the stairs a look of anger on her face. The twins followed her looking a mix of confused and mad. Amelia did not appear scared, however, and continued to look around her new home.

"This is Amelia. My daughter." Asami said addressing the sneering Chihori.

"Oh really?" She snapped "I don't remember giving birth to her, so she can't be yours."

"Well, you're not her mother." Asami said with a straight face while taking the abuse.

"No SHIT!" She screams and points at Amelia "Which whore's child is she? And why is she in my house?"

"You mean lady." Amelia says pointing at Chihori.

"Don't call my mom names, runt." Kazu said shoving Amelia to the floor. She picked herself back up and dusted her dress off.

"Why you call me runt?"

"Cause I'm bigger." He said with a sneer. A look of understanding overcame her face and she ran over to Asami. She put her hands up clearly wanting to be picked up. He took her into his arms holding her on his hip. She looked down at Kazu with a big smile.

"Now I bigger." She stated matter of factly. Asami smirked while Kirishima tried to hold back his laughter.

"I will not have this thing living in my house." Chihori stated.

"She is not a thing she is a child." Asami said with a glare holding Amelia closer, "And this is my house, not yours. She stays and if you don't like it then live somewhere else." He begins to walk up the stairs, Kirishima following closely behind.

"I'll tell my grandfather about this!" She yelled at him.

"Go ahead." He said back before disappearing from her sight.

He brought Amelia over to her new bedroom and left her to settle in. He and Kirishima went to his office. Sitting at his desk, he lit a cigarette and took a long drag. He just sat there thinking for a few moments before addressing Kirishima.

"I want you and Suoh to work out a guard for Amelia. Someone who will be with her at all times." He said causing Kirishima to nod and pull out his cell phone shooting off multiple texts, "Also, enroll her in preschool. The same one the twins went to should work. I am sure Amelia will do much better."

"Hai, Asami-sama." He said before bowing and leaving.

For the next few weeks, Asami made an effort to come home early to spend time with his newly founded daughter. He would be sure to arrive home in time for "family" dinner which seemed to keep Chihori and the twins away from Amelia. One night he had had a late "meeting" with some punk at the warehouse. He had called his chef to make sure Amelia ate that night, he knew Chihori would try to deny her dinner without him there. When he arrived home at one in the morning, he found Amelia lying at the bottom of the stairs.

Rushing her to the hospital, it was discovered she had a concussion, a fracture in her radius, and damage to her carpals(wrist). She had told him that Sui had tripped her but it was denied by the ten-year-old. A few days later Amelia's newly completed bedroom was trashed and all of her new books and toys destroyed.

"It must have been her." Chihori said with a glare at Amelia, "She is just an ungrateful little brat who is using you for your money."

"You make it sound like she's a whore." Asami said in a cold voice.

"Like mother, like daughter."

Through all the abuse, however, it seemed like Amelia was happy. When he asked her why she was so happy she told him: "I just love my papa". He smiled for hours after that. Neither of the twins had ever said they love him and while Chihori said it to him it just didn't feel right. He told her that to he puts more weight in actions so he may not always say he loves her as well she should know he does. She didn't seem to fully get it but it was a start.

A week or so later, the "family" was to attend a party and they went out together to get new outfits. The men were first getting fitted for suits then they were going to a boutique to get the dresses. They had just finished the fittings when Amelia walked up to Asami pulling on his pant leg to get attention.

"Me want too." She said pointing at the man holding the measuring tape.

"You will be measured when we get your dress." He said ruffling her hair "Just wait."

"No. Me want too." She said again now pulling on his suit.

"You want a suit?" A nod was his response.

She was fitted while Asami looked on with a small smile. On the day of the party, Asami could be seen wearing a three-piece, black Armani suit with a simple red tie. Holding his hand was Amelia wearing a miniature version of Asami's suit with a more feminine cut and slightly larger left sleeve, in order to accommodate for her cast. Her long black hair was pulled back into a simple french braid, Asami still didn't know how his secretary knew how to do that. She looked like an Asami and greeted everyone with a smile but changed her attitude with the changes in her papa.

It had been two months since she had arrived and her cast had just been taken off. She had been up in her room when Asami called her down for dinner. She was at the top of the stairs when Kazu tripped her sending her tumbling down once again. Unfortunately, Asami had been there this time seeing it happen in real time. Her injuries were similar to last time but this was a tipping point for Asami. He wouldn't leave his child in these conditions. He moved himself and Amelia to the penthouse in one of the buildings he owned close to Sion.

"You can't do this!" Chihori yelled at him as he was leaving "You're abandoning your wife and children. My grandfather won't let you get away with this."

"I already talked to your grandfather." He said with a calm voice.

"What?!" She reeled back as if she had been slapped.

"We agreed that, because of all your spoiling, Kazu and Sui will never be able to take over for either of our organizations. So I'll be raising Amelia to be my heir and when your grandfather dies I will inherit his organization which I will then pass down to Amelia. Also, after your grandfather's death, we will be divorcing as I will have no reason to keep you around."

"You can't do this! I won't let you!" She screamed grabbing onto his arm.

"It's already done." He said pulling away. He walked towards the door but before he left he called back. "You can keep Kazu and Sui."

He arrived back at his new penthouse to find Amelia sitting at the table eating dinner while the chef watched over her. He had decided to leave their chef in charge of Amelia while he was away because he knew the older woman had raised three of her own children. Their new life at the penthouse was perfect until Amelia got sick.

I know a lot of people want to see Akihito join the story and he will either join in the next chapter or the one after. It depends on how I write the next chapter. These first chapters are for me to set up the story. Anyway, let me know what you thought. : )
