Chapter I: Enough is enough.
Botan looked around her beautiful penthouse suit. It was beautifully furnished with the most exquisite and expensive brand furniture. Each one was hand caved and polished. The wall was decorated with famous painting and photographed and pictures of her and her lover. She lay down on the settee and stared out. Her penthouse was located right by the beach, given her a priceless view of the ocean. At night she would just lie on the hammock, listening to sea singing. The sound of the wave roaring would lure her to sleep.
Upstairs, her bedroom was dominated by a huge four-poster bed. A night table at each side. On those table sat a Tiffany lamp and her phone. Facing her bed was her dresser complete with a mirror. A French door that opened to her balcony and her walk-in closet. Inside her closet, she had the most expensive clothes. Botan loved top designers clothed. Her favorite designer was Christian Dior. She bought mostly all her clothes at their retailer stores.
Her penthouse also had a kitchen that was every women dream kitchen and a living room fit for a king. Her apartment was truly a work of art but she had to leave. She didn't want to be in here anymore. Everything in there, reminded of her lover. No surprise since he was the one who brought everything in here, saying that he wanted her to be comfortable. Every time he came to see her, he would bring her a gift.
They met a year ago at a fashion show in London. Botan was one of the models at the show that night. She had immediately notice him when he sat among the audience. It was impossible not to notice someone that beautiful. After the show, the designer was throwing a party and all of the supermodels were there. She was surprised when she saw him. They had immediately engaged in conversation and later they had danced together. That night she learned so much about him. She had fallen half in love with him that night. She was sad when they said goodbye. He had kissed and she didn't offer any protests. She never thought that they ever meet again but fate had a different plan for them. A month later, she was having lunch with one of friends, Keiko when she noticed a man across the room staring at her. Being a supermodel, she was accustomed to men staring at her so she paid no attention to it. But after a few minutes, the man got up and walked toward her. She was shocked to see that he was Kurama. He invited for dinner that night at his apartment and she had accepted. After that night, he asked her out several time. She would accept and he would lavish her with expensive gifts. Later she would found out that he was the heir to his father's hotel chains, the Minamino's Empire. They became lovers after a few months later.
Kurama had always made it clear to her that he didn't want to be tied down to a woman. He said several time that he didn't want to be married and that he wasn't looking for a serious relationship. At first she was okay with his condition, until she stared falling in love with him. The more she knew about Kurama, the more she found herself draw to him. She even thought that she could make him feel something for her but she knew better now. She knew Kurama would never love her. It's only a matter of time before he gets bored with her and decides to dump her. Only a matter of time before her broke her heart. Despite the fact that she knew where their relationship was heading, she stayed with him. Still hoping that he might fall in love with her. But not anymore. Botan had decided to leave. If he couldn't love, she would find someone who can.
Botan got up from the settee and made her way to the kitchen. Kurama was coming over tonight. She was planning at cooking dinner for him when he got here and also telling him that she was leaving for good. She opened the fridge and swore under her breath when she found it empty. Botan hadn't been home for a couple of weeks. She only got here last night. She had eaten out this morning so she didn't have time to check on her food provision. She got her purse and keys. She opened the garage and got into her Ferrari 360 Spider. This was her most prized possession. She had brought this car as a birthday present for herself last month.
At the store, she got all the things she needed quickly. She was making a pasta dish and chocolate mouse for dessert. She purchased what she needed to prepare dinner. She went back home. She was dreading the moment he walked in. She knew what she had to do, but she didn't that he would be this hard. She started cooking as soon as she got home. At eight o'clock, the door bell rang. Botan finished with the last minute details before she answered. And there he was her gorgeous red-haired lover. He was dressed casually in blue jeans and white t-shirt. Even then, he still managed to look stunning.
"Hello, love." he said, silkily.
"Hi, glad you could come." She said.
"You know that I would do anything to please you." He flirted.
She rolled her eyes and pulled him inside not before he stole a quick kiss from her.
"You never changed, do you?"
He wrapped hi arms around her and followed her to the back porch where they would have they dinner.
Dinner went perfectly. They talked and laughed. Botan found herself getting a little depressed. She hated to think that she was leaving this great man but she reminded herself that she more than expensive in a relationship.
After dinner, they went for a walk by the beach. Botan was waiting for the perfect opportunity to talk to Kurama. And just like that, the moment presented itself.
"I'll be living for the states in a few days." He said.
"Oh!"
She stayed silent for a few minutes.
"I won't be here when you came back." She whispered.
"Why not? Do you have a photo shoot to do?"
"No."
"Then why won't you here."
"I decided to leave because I don't want to be in this relationship anymore."
"Why not? I gave you everything you want."
"True, you gave me all the things I want but not the things I need."
"And what is it you need?"
"Love, that's all I need. I need you to love me, Kurama."
"Oh! Come on, Botan, we already went over this."
"We did and that's why I'm leaving."
He swore.
"You know most women would kill to have what you have."
"I'm sure they will. But I need more in life than just a gorgeous lover and expensive gift. Though, it may have crossed your mind, I'm human. I need more than just the basic thing in life."
He was silent. She didn't expect him to say anything else. She went back to the penthouse. He didn't even say goodbye.
The following morning, Botan left the penthouse. She didn't take anything besides her car keys. She left everything where they were. The clothes, the jewelries, everything behind. Including her heart.
