THE COST YOU PAY
CHAPTER7
What He Thinks...
Sesshoumaru sighed as he closed his phone. He'd already called Miss Anderson and made sure that Kagome already chose everything.
"Yes. Your wife has already picked the best gown that I've ever made in all my life!! She sure has your taste, Mr. Hamoto," Jill had said on the phone.
Your taste. My taste. Sesshoumaru grinned evilly inside his mind. That's mean that the girl was already trying to adapt herself with Sesshoumaru. Good. Yes. She was a good actress. There was no doubt about it.
But, there was something different about those big honey brown eyes, something that even Sesshoumaru himself couldn't explain it. She was an extraordinary girl and a silly one too. She was doing all of this just for Inuyasha.
Suddenly a little anger overwhelmed him when he thought about Kagome being in love with his half brother. He didn't like the thought. Didn't know why.
Shit! What happened to him?! He was never angry! He'd always been calm and had firm control of his emotions. The best maybe. But
Those things were useless when that silly girl got near him.
She was dangerous! A woman who could make him lose control was dangerous. Same as his mother. Uh. Maybe he shouldn't marry this girl. Maybe he'd be better off finding another woman, who's single, glamorous, lived in an elite house, wore designer clothes, had a catwalk model body, wore jewelry, and the most important, they were his 'usual' type of woman.
The type of woman who liked to beg him for expensive things, hung their lives to him. Yeah, a good 'one-night' date. No more, no less.
Not this one!
Not Ms. Kagome Higurashi who had a big brown bunny eyes, using 'flea market' clothes, didn't wear make-up, lived in the most terrible area that he'd ever know, and didn't wear any jewelry. More over, she had a nice body, and he hated her for that. She wasn't skinny like those models. She was more around one hundred twenty pounds. Not too tall but she was a standard. She was so usual, meaning that nothing about her made her stand out in a crowd. She was beautiful. Okay. He must admit that when he saw her in her gown the first time. But not when she walked in his office door, looking at him nervously and sat in front of him. Not then. She looked more like a mess then.
But, despite those things, she was beautiful. Okay. That's it. He'd said that twice already.
Feeling annoyed, Sesshoumaru signed the papers in front of him perfunctorily. He hated it. And he had to marry that woman in another 5 days. Sesshoumaru sighed as he remembered that inheritance. Yeah. A son, a child. Actually, it'd never crossed his mind even once to have a child of his own. Didn't mean that he hated children but, having children would make his life more complicated. His childhood's 'not-too-happy' experience made him promised himself not to have any children when he grew up.
His father went to another woman. Yes that bitch, Inuyasha's mother. And he hated his father for hurting his mother so much. Sesshoumaru never even tried to understand the explanations his father gave him. Sesshoumaru hated his father. Later, when Inuyasha was born, his father spent more of his time with Inuyasha than with Sesshoumaru. It was a reality. His father loved Inuyasha more than him. And that made Sesshoumaru grow more and more jealous of his half brother.
Heh. Luckily, at that time, his uncle—little brother from his father—, was willing to adopt Sesshoumaru to be his heir for all of his richness. His uncle was ten times richer than Sesshoumaru's father and of course, Mr. Yasha Hamoto—that's the name of his uncle— choose Sesshoumaru because Sesshoumaru was his brother's first and legal son by law. Anyway Sesshoumaru was a really calm, genius, and cold hearted boy. Sesshoumaru knew what action he was supposed to take, or what he had to do to solve this problem since he was only six, maybe.
And that was why his uncle took him to be the next president director of Yasha.Inc. Yasha had already prepared him to do all of those things since he was taken as Yasha's adopted son. In his heart, Sesshoumaru trusted that his uncle—more like a father to him— really love Sesshoumaru as his real son. Yasha never had any heir. He trusted all of his life, his company, and all of his hard work to Sesshoumaru's hands when Sesshoumaru'd graduated from Harvard University in the U.S.
And that was the only thing that made Sesshoumaru want to fulfill his uncle's will. Even though Yasha was already in heaven—or hell, wherever he was, Sesshoumaru still didn't want to disappoint him.
And that old tricky man loved to play games to make Sesshoumaru frown or angry because his games— which were sometimes not funny at all.-- Yasha always thought that his silly games were a part of his genius. And, he succeeded to annoy Sesshoumaru with his last game. Yes, that silly requisite for his last three hundred million dollars— or more. The lawyer had said there was more than three hundreds million left that Yasha wanted to give him. It included Yasha's favorite hotel in Australia, diamond mines in South Africa, and others. That meant more than five hundreds million dollars, the buildings included.
Geez. Even though 'Yasha.Inc' was not in hard finance condition, but with that big sum of money...
Sesshoumaru could expand this enterprise faster than planned. Sesshoumaru never wasted his money for unnecessary things. All his personal paychecks went to the company, so it was no wonder why 'Yasha.Inc' was getting bigger and bigger every time.
And for all that sum of money, all he had to do just pick a woman, marry her, pay her to bear a son, then...voila, you can get everything— even the great wall of China if you want.
But that tricky old bastard knew that Sesshoumaru would have a problem with his requisite. From the old time, Yasha knew that Sesshoumaru hated what they always called 'bound'. Especially 'marriage bound'. Yasha could see that Sesshoumaru was growing up like him. Didn't like being bound, being tied or beinganything, to the creature called 'woman'.
Sesshoumaru would probably rather climb every mountain and ford every sea than marry a woman. Same as Yasha.
And Sesshoumaru didn't get any choice so...what else could he do than this fake marriage?
Suddenly the phone was ringing, snapping Sesshoumaru back from his thoughts. Sighing, he took the phone.
"Yes?" Was all he said. If his phone was ringing, that meant there was an emergency situation that his guys couldn't handle or something private. Maybe it was his mother or...
Kagome.
"Mr.Hamoto?" he heard that soft voice inside his ear. He started getting used to her voice—since they would be married for a year. "This is Kagome Higurashi."
Sesshoumaru let out a sigh, closing his eyes."Yes, I know, Kagome. What is it?" He spoke softly.
What? What had he done?! Spoke softly?! Maybe he needed a psychiatrist.
"Erm, I just wanted to ask, where should I sleep tonight? I mean, I've moved all of my things to your house," Kagome's voice sounded like she'd had one of the most tiring day in her life.
Is she this tired just from choosing things for her marriage? Sesshoumaru thought. Why didn't she just choose the most expensive thing in every store? She knows I can afford it and I don't mind at all.
Sesshoumaru looked at his Rolex watch. Oh yeah. She was right; it was already eight thirty. And the sky was dark too. Well, he had passed his work time. For sure, he was a real workaholic.
"My house," he answered simply. "You know the place?"
"No."
"Where are you?"
"In my friend's apartment. I still have my apartment key just in case." Kagome answered.
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Okay. Tell me where the place is. I'll pick you up."
"But, Sir" Kagome tried to argued.
"Rule number one, don't ever argue with me. Rule number two, don't call me 'Sir' or 'Mister' and others or my plan will be ruined. Do you understand it perfectly, Kagome?" he said it coldly, full of authority.
"Yes, Si— I mean, Sesshoumaru," Kagome changed it hurriedly. Sesshoumaru smirked, satisfied with her meekness.
"Good. You are a really obedient one. It seems that our marriage will not be that hard, eh?" He spoke with a really evil voice. "Okay, Kagome. Now tell me the address."
