Seto put the key on the table. "Now what?" He asked, glaring at Espana.
"Now you must find the trunk." Espana said.
"You can't be serious. You said all I had to do was get the key." Seto said, angry.
"I don't make the rules; I just work here, alright?" Espana said.
"Okay, that's it." Seto said, putting the key in his pocket. He picked up the crystal ball, and ignored Espana's cries of protest as he carried it to the attic. He spotted a trunk. "That it?"
"That's it." Espana said.
Seto put her in a chair and got the key, putting it into the trunk's lock. He turned it and opened it. "Well?"
"Find the thing that must be read, or else your heart will be filled with dread." Espana said.
Seto sorted through the trunk, until he came upon a letter. He took it out and opened it.
My Dearest,
I have thought long and hard about your proposal. I know what you are risking by marrying me, and I want you to know that I will always love you, no matter what happens.
You have waited long enough for my answer. I know you await it eagerly, so I will give it to you at last. Yes, my dearest love, I will marry you. I will love you for all of time. Tonight, we shall announce to everyone that we shall be married. Tonight, nothing can separate us.
Forever Yours,
Karina Gracely
"So she didn't kill herself." Mai said, sounding relieved. "I knew it."
"She did want to marry him." Joseph said.
"Well, someone must have killed her and faked a letter." Seto said.
"Yes, well done Mr. Kaiba." Aden said. Everyone turned and stared at him. "Your more of an annoyance then I thought you'd be."
"You? You killed her?" Seto asked.
Aden glared at Mai and Joseph. "I'll deal with you both later." He said.
They both quickly disappeared. Seto stood. "Why did you kill her?"
"Because when his parents died, he was left in my care. I raised him, I sacrificed everything for him. I couldn't let him throw away everything I worked to preserve for that woman." Aden said.
"I will tell him." Seto said.
"I'm afraid that cannot happen. He will be reunited with her, and then we can all move on." Aden said.
"But that's not Karina." Seto said.
"I beg to differ." Aden said. "My master's pain must end, and it will end tonight."
Seto glared. "Where is she?"
"Getting ready for her wedding, of course." Aden said.
"But they can't get married, we are." Seto said, showing Aden his wedding ring. "Besides, he's dead and she isn't."
"Both things that can be changed, quite easily, I assure you." Aden said.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on her!" Seto said, throwing a punch. It went right through him. He turned around. "I'm going to get my wife, and we're both leaving this mansion."
"If you wanted to leave, why didn't you say so before?" Aden asked, grabbing Seto's collar. He floated up, and threw Seto out the window.
Seto grimaced as he landed on top of the greenhouse. His body slipped down and onto the ground. He lied there for a moment before slowly getting up, only to see and the shutters shutting by themselves. "No…" He said, leaning against the car.
Sebastian led Kiarra into the ballroom. "This place has waited so long for the darkness around it to be lifted. Tonight I think it shall." He looked at her. "Mrs. Kaiba…do you believe that love is about second chances and forgiveness?
Kiarra smiled. "Yes." She said. I've given Seto thousands of second chances. She thought.
"Do you not remember?" Sebastian asked, his eyes turning sad. "Don't you recognize me?" He asked, taking her hand.
"Mr. Montgomery, I think you're confused…" She said, moving away.
He stopped her. "I thought….I thought you being here would certainly make you remember…"
"Remember what?" She asked, wishing she knew where Seto was.
"Remember the ball, where you were to give me your answer." He said, holding her shoulders.
Kiarra gasped, seeing ghosts starting to dance to music that came from nowhere. "Let go of me!" She said, forcing herself away from him. She ran out of the ballroom, hearing Sebastian call after her. She ran to the bedroom and shut the door.
"She doesn't remember Aden…" Sebastian said, leaning against the wall.
"She will, sir, soon she will." Aden said. "You should get ready."
"And you're sure it's her, Aden?" Sebastian asked, looking at him.
"Positive, the gypsy woman confirms it." Aden said
