~ Two months later~

It had been a month since the six-month mark of their relationship and everything seemed to be perfect. He felt himself becoming happier and better at managing to keep people working at the company without having to totally scaring them even though he still had his moments.

He was still biding his time until Caylee was ready to tell him about her past, though he was slowly gleaming more and more things about it, like she had been a younger sibling to an older brother that had always been protective to her, but he had died with her parents as well.

Though he still wished to know why she had come to be on the streets, she wasn't ready to say.

But that wasn't what his headache was about at the moment.

Seto was groaning in annoyance and resentment. The 'Cadronez Gaming' company, one of the company's many rivals, was beginning to cause a lot of trouble, with their CEO Chris Rider leading the charge.

The man was ruthless, much like that of Gozaburo and would do anything to get more money and more power, even trying to buy most of Kaiba Corps shares but Seto had refused and it had made Rider mad.

Seto's headache was getting worse as the day wore on.

A beep pierced his thoughts as his intercom beeped at him.

"Yes?" he asked his secretary.

"Sir Miss Caylee is here to see you," the secretary stated.

He smiled, knowing that a visit from Caylee would help lift his mood.

"Send her in," he stated.

Not moments later Caylee walked into the room, proudly wearing the symbolic card locket around her neck, one that he had given her when they had been together for six months. A smile was present on her face as she slowly made her way around the desk and onto his lap. Embracing her, he kissed her lovingly on the lips.

"Someone's happy to see me," she said, snuggling against his shoulder.

"You have no idea how happy," he stated, kissing the top of her head.

She looked up and placed a hand on his cheek, he leaned into the touch, loving how it seemed to warm him from the inside. He could never get enough of her loving caresses.

"Bad day?" she asked, tilting her head.

He sighed, "Yeah, the idiot CEO of Cadronez Gaming is causing a lot of trouble. I really want to take him down a few notches,"

She chuckled, "Knowing you, you will just in spite of the man,"

He grinned, "You know me too well,"

"I'm glad I do," she whispered, leaning her forehead against his.

"Not that I don't mind you being here, to what do I owe this visit?" he asked, placing a kiss on her nose.

"I needed to see the doctor today, I haven't been feeling very well so I thought I would drop in before my appointment," she explained.

He looked at her in surprise and worry, "Why didn't you tell me?"

She sighed, "You've been really stressed lately and I didn't want to cause anymore with you having to worry about me. Not to mention you are fiercely over-protective,"

Caylee leapt up from his lap and pecked him on the cheek, "I hope your day gets better love,"

He grabbed her hand and brought up to his lips, kissing it affectionately, "Seeing you has improved it dramatically,"

She chuckled and kissed him on the forehead, before waving as she left the office. Seto sighed and took the phone in his hand, dialling a well-known number.

"Hello, this is Liana Smith, how may I help you?" the woman said.

"Liana, its Kaiba, I need to talk to you about Cadronez Gaming," Seto started.

Seto paced as he awaited Liana to arrive at the mansion. It was stressful, as he needed to key ideas to take down his rival company but without knowing any weaknesses of the ruthless CEO of Cadronez Gaming. His associate Liana Smith was a lawyer for the company and would help as long as he would take down Rider.

The doorbell rang and he stopped in mid pace, some of the stress seemed to melt away as he opened the door to let Liana walk in.

Liana Smith was a woman in her mid-thirties who had dark brown hair and one of the brightest of purple eyes that he had only seen on the likes of Yugi. She was dressed in a smart business suit with her badge stating her name and profession as a lawyer for Cadronez Gaming.

"Liana, thanks for coming on such short notice," Seto said, shaking her hand.

"Your welcome Kaiba, I assume because of the short notice that you need my help greatly," Liana stated.

Seto nodded and indicated for her to sit down.

"Rider has been causing my company a lot of trouble lately and I need something that will take him down a few notches or something that will help me be able to buy the company right out from him," Seto explained.

Liana sighed, "Even if you did try and buy the company out, you wouldn't get full power of the company,"

He tilted his head in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

"Chris Rider may be the CEO of the company but the rights of the company are not fully his," Liana explained, "Full power and rights only belong to the Cadronez Family. Rider has overtaken the company since their deaths six years ago,"

Seto sat back in his chair, "What really happened? I've only heard rumours about their deaths,"

"Six years ago, Mr and Mrs Cadronez and their oldest child Seth were killed in a hit and run car 'accident'," Liana said menacingly.

Seto raised an eyebrow at the tone she used at the word 'accident', she had said in such a way that he knew that she was in disbelief.

"Do you not believe it was an accident?" he asked.

Liana scoffed, "No. Rider is a money grabbing sleaze ball with the gall to pull of something like this to gain more money from their deaths but unfortunately I have no real proof to back this claim or any other way to take the power away from him. The only way for him to lose power would be for the real heir to the company were to be found,"

He looked at her in confusion, "But I thought their son died in the accident,"

"They also had a daughter but she disappeared two days after their death. I had left her in a hotel as the Cadronez family mansion is only known by certain people and it would have been easier to keep her in the city where I could take care of her as was her legal guardian at the time," Liana sighed, "She would have turned 19 this year,"

Seto pondered her words and then looked at the lawyer.

"Do you have a picture of the daughter? I may have associates that could track her down," he asked.

Liana pulled a picture and handed it to him. She pointed out the daughter in the family picture, "That's their daughter,"

Seto's eyes widened and his hands shook.

Before him was an easily recognisable picture of Caylee at a young age. Brilliant shining emerald eyes that she inherited from her father but she looked so much like her mother, she could have passed as a sister. And just to make matters worse, the silver rose that he knew hung around the mother's neck – the exact same.

Thoughts and accusations began to whirl around his head as he realised the truth.

Caylee was the heir to the Cadronez Gaming Company, his rival company!

Anger flared inside him as the truth burned his mind.

"Kaiba?" Liana asked.

Before he could answer, Caylee appeared at the door to the living room with a smile spread across her face.

"Seto I have the best news . . . Oh sorry Seto, I didn't know you had a . . . guest," Caylee started to say before dragging it out in shock at seeing Liana.

"Caylee? Caylee Cadronez? Where have you been all these years?" Liana started to ask as many questions bounced around the air.

Before Caylee could even comprehend to answer, Seto spoke.

"Liana, please leave," he states, tone of voice sounds like suppressed anger.

Neither woman questioned his command and the woman in question as she left in a great hurry.

Caylee seemed to shake in fear of him. He had never been this angry and terrifying except for this moment.

He could feel himself trembling with anger before he shoved the picture he had been holding in her hands.

"EXPLAIN THIS!" he exclaimed.

She jumped at his shout and then looked down at the picture in her hands, she began to shake and tremble, tears fell down her face before she looked up at him with tears cascading from her emerald eyes, fear and sadness were present within the emerald gems.

"I-I-I" she stuttered.

Darkness seemed cloud his mind and judgement as he pushed her away from him, making her stumble before she caught herself. Caylee looked up at him and he just snapped.

"GET OUT! YOU HAVE PLAYED WITH MY HEART YOU FUCKING HEARTLESS BITCH! YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN TEA! GET THE FUCK OUT AND NEVER COME BACK!" he shouted.

Caylee sobbed as she ran from his sight.

He roared in anger, smashing anything he could find against the floor or a wall. His anger soon spent itself as he sank to his knees and cried into his hands.

Only one thought came to his mind about Caylee.

She had played with his heart, the heart that he had held such a tight grip on since Gozaburo had killed himself.

And now that heart was torn in pieces.

Caylee cried as she ran, never caring where she ran as long as it was far away from Kaiba as possible.

Things had changed between them so swiftly, it was like his feelings and love for her had been blown away as swiftly as leaves on the winds. And it was tearing her apart.

All because she a fucking heir to his fucking rival company!

He hadn't even given her a chance to speak; she had never been so frightened of Kaiba in her life.

The only other time that she had been so frightened of someone was when Rider has tried to rape and kill her just to get her inheritance from the company. Everything seemed to be falling to hell as everything was forever being taken away from her.

First her family, then her home and freedom. What little freedom she gained since going into hiding on the streets and becoming Nephthys had been torn away by Kaiba, those little things had protected her heart and what little happiness that had given her was now gone as well.

She soon found herself panting and sobbing against a tree, tears obscured her view as she looked down at her feet and noticed that her card locket was still around her neck.

Even though she had the urge to throw the locket away, she couldn't bear to as it was only reminder of the good times she had had with the Kaiba family and their friends.

'I knew it. I knew I shouldn't have stayed with them, especially after the gang incident. For once in the past six years, I was truly happy and loved. Now its gone, and all because Kaiba destroyed it. Let's hope Karma shoves the stick that up his ass so far up that he will feel it for the rest of lonely and miserable life,' she thought.

Darkness seemed to swirl around her hands as her eyes turned black.

Mistress, go. Find the one who brought you all this pain and bring him to justice, the shadows spoke as she finally acknowledged the suppressed Shadow Magic within her.

A small shield was placed around her body, protecting the growing life she held. She sighed at the comfortable feeling as the shadows comforted her in her time of need.

We will help you, go and find the retribution that you have been denied, the shadows pushed.

Caylee laughed as she pulled the phone from her pocket and dialled a number she had never thought she knew. Yes, she would get her retribution and finally be free from fear.

As the person on the other side picked up, she smirked.

"Liana, I need your help," Caylee stated.

CLIFFIE! *mwahahah* I'm so evil.

Did anyone see that coming? Hence why I called the pairing "MoneyShipping" so conniving of me!

And this drama is just the beginning. Oh I love keeping people in suspense.

PLEASE READ & REVIEW! I really want to know how people reacted to this!

LATER!
