"uuuhhhmmm"her head ached, she slowly opened her eyes and focus on the things around her. She tried to pull her hand but it's tied up. She then remembered what happened, her chest pounded and panic started to rise, but she remained calm. She tried to pull her arms free, but then she felt weak and her head throbs every time she moves.

"You're awake I see. Now we can have our little conversation, it's been long overdue *low laugh*"

She tried to find the source of the voice; even her head is a little fuzzy. "Who are you? What do you want?" even her voice sounded hoarse.

"Oh c'mon don't tell me you didn't miss me at all*another low laugh*"

The man's voice made head ache more; she wasn't able to contain a moan.

"Nasty head ache isn't it? It will go away soon. I'm sorry if my men had been rough on you, you gave them quite a fight, men I never thought YOU of all people could throw my men like that, sorry we had to use the tranquilizer we had no choice, some little tigress you are."

Her mind is starting to clear out. She can tell now that the voice is coming from behind her. She tightly closed her eyes and gently shook her head to lesson it's throbbing. She felt the man behind her move and stop right in front of her.

"Feeling better now? Bright eyes?"

Her eyes snap wide open. She looked up "It was you…"

"Diana this is Kruger, I'm in position…Do you have the location of the target? Over."

"affirmative. I'll send it to you. Over and out."

"Miroku, report?"

"We're in position, all is set, we're waiting for your signal Kruger."

"Good, the subject's safety is our priority. Make sure that you get her out of there, leave Harper to me."

"Got that."

She can't control her self from trembling, not knowing if it's from shock or anger as she watch the man in front of her holding a voice changer on his neck to.

"You see, I had fun taunting you all those time. I had it all planned out. The heiress of the Fujino Empire's life is being threatened. It was oooohhh so perfect I had fun watching your father scamper like a rabbit when her heard about her daughter. I never thought he was that concerned. But who was I to judge *low laugh*"

"You bastard it was you all along." She can no longer stay calm after all of this she finds it hard to do so.

"Oh come now bright eyes. I love it when your eyes blaze with anger. But let me finish first, and I will answer all your questions later. As I was saying, there's a threat in your life, I know even if your father hired some body guards it won't be enough, and that's when I get into the scene, I would be your knight in shining amour and all, until you depend and trust no one else but me, but alas someone got into the way and ruined my plan." He moved closer to her and crouch in front of her.

"If it was you all along then who was that guy that was arrested and was accused as my stalker?" she needs to find a way to escape, she needs to buy time.

"Oh that? Some random punk I paid to do the job, it was a way to get your dog out of my way. I know she's got her eye on me. Where your father did got her anyway? I admit she's good, but not good enough for me. And I can't believe you chose that bitch over me." He pause, then he laughed so hard, while standing up.

This made Shizuru's brows rose.

"I can't believe *laugh* that you are one of those people who's from the other side of the bridge *another laugh*" he compose himself before he face her again. "It doesn't matter that won't get in my way. It's a good thing that bitch realized what she is." He looked closely into her eye "I was close to killing her, especially after what she did. She humiliated me." Anger raised on his voice.

"I can't blame her I would have done the same."

This ticked him off. He grab her face with his hand "getting brave are we huh Shizuru? Well that would be the last because after were married I won't let you talk to me like that ever again."

"And who said I would marry someone like you. I would rather die." She spat at him.

"Now, now, now, don't get too edgy. I know you'd feel that way so I have deposited in advance in your account." He raised his hand. "Bring him in."

Shizuru's eyes grew even wider "Father-"

Meanwhile the agents have started to move. The guards outside the warehouse were taken care of one by one. They have already positioned inside .

"Miroku, are we clear?"

"Affermative. 5 men were taken care of."

"My team got only 3. We still got 12 on the count. Were moving to the next target point. "

"Copy that."

Natsuki ended her communication and faced her team "You know what to do, move out." Each one of them moved to their own positions.

"Diana my team is moving in."

"Be careful."

"What have you done with him?" Shizuru exclaimed.

Randolph smiled "Oh nothing , we treated him like royalty. Didn't we Mr. Fujino?" he tap the man's shoulder while Mr. Fujino brush his hand off. Randolph just laugh at him.

"Leave my daughter alone Randolph she's got nothing to do with this"

"How many times do I have to tell you that she's always been a part of it." He smiled and face Shizuru. "You wanna know something sweetheart. You wanna know what really happened two years before?"

"Keep your rotten mouth shut Johnson."

"Now that just made my heart ache, sir" he turned and gave the man a smug smile "since were all here it's time your puppet here knows the truth…"

This got Shizuru all ears "the truth about what?" her gaze is directly towards her father.

"Don't listen to her child he-" before Mr. Fujino could finish Randolph cut him off.

"You just made me mad sir, your lucky I still call you that. " he taps Mr. Fujino's cheeks "you see bright eyes. What happened before was not just my father's doing or should I say my father and mine. Your daddy here was all part of our little party back then, we had fun didn't we sir? *laugh*"

Shizuru fell silent, she's not sure if she's hearing it all right.

"He signed all the necessary papers so we could have those projects. If you're going to think of it, we didn't actually steal those design, he gave it to us. It was going smoothly at the start, until you discovered something, your daddy here got all worried and made a plan to put all the blame unto us."

"Liar! I never wanted to sign those papers, you made me do it!" Mr. Fujino exclaimed.

"Oh yes! Sorry I forgot about that little detail *low laugh*. We made you do it. You know what made him do it bright eyes?" he likes seeing the fear in the old man's eyes, it feeds his anger more. He feels like every fear this man releases gives him more power over him, and it feels so good.

Shizuru's eyes never left her father's, while the other can't even look her daughter's face. Her heart is pounding she can no longer think, frustration slowly rose inside her.

"What? Are just gonna look at him like that? C'mon ask him. I promise if he won't give you any answer I'll give it to you. C'mon now" his voice is encouraging.

"Is it true father?" she wanted to know, "is it true?" her voice raised a bit.

He doesn't know how to how to explain everything to her, he can't even look at her "I-I, I was just-"

Looking at her father's reaction confirmed it all anger consumed her, she no longer care that she was kidnapped or being held captive. The only thing that she feels right now is anger and disappointment towards her father. "Why? You worked so hard for that company? Mother's illness worsens because of what happened, in the end you were part of it? Why?!"

"Yes daddy WHY? WHY?! *hard laugh*" Randolph acted all too excited.

Mr. Fujino just kept his mouth shut, not knowing what else to say.

"Oh c'mon your no fun sir." He moved and crouch beside Shizuru "you see bright eyes your daddy here and my daddy made a deal." He looked at Mr. Fujino first before he continued "he is going to give us the new designs of the company, but we didn't take all, or else it would have been too obvious, we took only some *low laugh*, anyway your daddy here would sign the necessary papers, in return my daddy, won't tell anybody about your daddy's little secret."

Shizuru's eyes shifted to Randolph.

"Your daddy here is playing hooky, with his secretary *hard laugh*"

Disbelief mirrored is Shizuru's eyes. She turned her gaze back to her father. The anger that she felt turned into hatred.

Mr. Fujino can't stand her daughters accusing gaze. She closed his eyes tightly feeling the shame of what he did.

The tears that she's been trying to hold came out freely but she no longer care "is it true?" her voice trembled "look at me and tell me the truth is it true?"

If only the earth would swallow him whole he would welcome it with open arm, just to escape his situation right now "I-I'm sorry-" he can no longer say anything else.

Shizuru shook her head in disbelief. "H-how could you. You have been blaming me all those time, while you were the one who's been doing something behind our backs. Natsuki left because of you, my mother died believing that her husband was loyal and true, well in fact he was a load of crap! You're disgusting. You ruined my life, non of this would have happened if it weren't because of you! I hate you!" She screamed she can no longer hold her self.

"Enough of this! We have wasted enough time. Learning about the truth was fun isn't it bright eyes? You-" he pointed at the man carrying a brief case "give me the papers."

She saw him took out some papers from the case and took out a pen from his jacket pocket.

"This, right here love, is our mirage certificate, the judge has signed on this one. We'll have the ceremonies later, after you signed this." He smiled sweetly at her.

If only her hand were untied she would love to rip that smile out of his face. "How am I going to sign those? My hand are tied STUPID! And what makes you think I would sign those?"

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you. As long as you don't promise me that you'll going to sign this papers, my friend George there" he pointed to one of his man carrying a whip "is going to punish your daddy" he said it like it was just a joke.

She looked at her father, anger is still in her "after what I've learned, what makes you think I care?" she said coldly.

Randolph smiled and rub her face gently with his finger "oh baby, cause your not as hard, as I am" he stood up and moved away from her. He signaled his other man. They spread Mr. Fujino's arms and tied it's ends on the posts on both sides.

He tried to fight but this men are younger and stronger, he' now facing her daughter arms open and tied up standing. If this is what it takes for him to redeem himself then he will gladly take it.

Even fuming with anger, still she got worried when she saw what they did to her father.

"You see bright eyes, I'm a very patient man, I've waited two years I'm willing to wait a little longer."

"You can rot in there, I will never signed those papers-"

WHACK!

"AAAHHH!!!"

she nearly jump off her feet (if she's not tied up to a chair) when she heard the gush of a whip followed by her father's scream.

"Every minute that you refuse to sign this papers, one mark will be added to your father's back. That was a sample. So are we good?" he waved the papers.

"Don't listen to him Shizuru he going to-*WHACK!* AHHH!!!" a searing pain hit him again. He fell to his knees.

"Randolph this is crazy! Stop this."

"Oh but I thought you don't care, that was just two hits babe. So are you going to sign this now?

"I'd rather die!" she answered back.

"We go on then." He signaled his man.

Every minutepass another whip is given to her father, even if she's angry and she hated him, she never wished to see him like this "stop this please!" her eyes grew wide every time she see her father grimace in pain.

"We can stop this at once, if you sign this"

"I can't!"

"Then we go on!"

WHACK!

"HAAAAGGHH!

She moved swiftly looking for cover. Her team is on their way to their own post. She was about the same, when she felt a cold wind moving swiftly towards her, on instinct she duck quickly, just when she heard something hit the wooden post just above her head. When she looked up she saw a dagger still wiggling from the impact.

"Your reflexes are still good; I knew I can never get you that easy."

She doesn't need to look back just to know who that was. "And I always knew you would always come from behind, you're always a back stubbing bastard" she slowly turn around "Harper"

"Thank you for the complement. I believe we have a score to settle. But you see" he pointed to her gun "I'm unarmed you wont just shoot me would you? And don't worry I don't have anybody here with me this place is my own playground, I told them not to disturb our own private moment."

"Well, alright" she put her gun aside "Let's begin." She moved fast towards him, but as if he already knew she would do that Harper moved quickly as well.

"Let the game begin…Kruger"
