Misaki sat frozen in her place even as Usui left minutes earlier and was probably in his home by now. She could not think anything. She sat with a blank mind. It was minutes before she came in to focus and was coherent enough to blush and scream at the same time with all her anger directed at Usui Takumi.

She hung her head down and remembered how she got caught in this mess.

Usui Takumi. The heart throb of the school. The guy who was always seen turning down confessions. The guy who could be seen in the student council room with a lollipop in his mouth, just ease his boredom, regardless how many times he was told that he was banned from the room. The guy for whom girls swarmed like flies at his emerald eyes and natural blond hair and a smile to die for. (Misaki thought all of his looks were an exaggeration). The guy to find out the sekai student council presidents secret.

A family of three women ,two daughters and a mother, striving to live on their own without a father, who ran away after he failed to pay a huge debt. Because they couldn't afford a better high school Misaki had to join a recently transformed into coed, boys school, whic was 75% boys and other girls. Due to a strong sense of responsibility she felt that the girls needed to have a safer environment in Seika because of which she built herself out of scratch by training in aikido to be able to physically protect the girls. In addition to this she had to have authority to make boys obey her so she became the first girl Student council President in Seika. Because of her rough nature she established for herself an image of demon president who was feared and respected (eventually) by all in the school. . This was Misaki's life in few words. Misaki had to wait until she was of age to find a part time job to support her family along with her mother who was a nurse in a hospital nearby. At the sound of the opportunity she joined a maid cafe which was in the nearby city to avoid being seen by the school student and in addition to that not only was the pay good even the co-workers were kind and always there for her when she was in need. Just when she thought she would be able to conceal her situation until she could complete her studies... "wow! what a surprise. If it isn't the prez" these lines brought the ever avoided situation into her life. Those words spoken by Usui Takumi, the first time he saw her as a maid and made sure to keep it a secret so as not to give away his personal entertainment, altered her whole plan of a peaceful life. Even though he never spoke about it in school ,and she liked to keep it that way, she never expected him to come back again after 5 years to use that as leverage and black mail her into...marrying him! And of course she had to agree, because not only was she still working there as a permanent part timer she had to keep it a secret from her workers at the Attorneys INC, as she desperately needed money. As her pay was not enough to support her sister and her mother as well who had to be hospitalized, and required constant medication ;her extra pay at Maid latte helped pay the medication whereas the pay from the AI helped her run the house. In between all of this comes Usui out of nowhere and says, "marry me or your secret will be out". Yes! She was afraid of her secret coming out. She was afraid she would no longer get the respect for which she had to struggle to attain by her hard work. She could be shunned for being dishonest. She could picture her downfall, loss of job, loss of livelihood, etc. all at once at the utterance of a single sentence. So she chose to marry him provided he gave her a job; she chose an honourable exit rather a dishonourable one to keep her secret hidden.

And just now she saw that her life got started with that small "gesture" by him. She couldn't even blame anyone, she bought this upon herself.

"I will not lose this battle against you Usui Takumi. You just wait and watch. I will never let myself fall for your charms, you will never make me yours by using your underhand techniques. I would rather die than be yours. Bring it on punk you will know why I was called the demon prez and why I rejoiced in it" saying this out loud, Misaki burst out into a series of evil laughs...

Far away in his apartment Usui Takumi felt a shiver down his spine when he was in a skype call with his brother Gerald, the root cause of this farce of an impending marriage.

"so brother dear, when do you plan to wed Caroline Arrow? I would like it very much if you did that or at least announce an engagement before the official announcement of Project Arrow-Walker Apartments Ventures"- said Gerald walker, half brother of Usui Takumi from the other end of the call from London playing the match maker for his brother to instigate a capitalistic marriage.

Giving a creepily eerie smirk Usui brings a picture to the screen and says- "Gerald, look forward to seeing your sister –in-law as Usui Misaki nee Ayuzawa at our wedding."

A shocked Gerald did only what he could do at that moment; stare into the picture of a girl with black hair and yellow eyes with a smile not knowing that she had just invited a lot of trouble by agreeing to marry Usui at that time when he was supposed to help form alliances by political marriages not chase skirts of a commoner on the pretext of love. His lips curled at the thought of how well he knew his brother. He was not capable of loving and now he brings a girl in between them making her the target of his strikes. 'Not much of a defence' , he thought.

"wow! Brother dear a love match ! and pray tell me how this happened right after two weeks you were asked to marry Caroline?"

"who said it was a love match"-Usui grinned as his brother was shocked again "its a convenient match if you will. Lets just say she is my pawn rather a partner. Pawns can be discarded, i.e. iff you are thinking of harming her. Now now... we do not wish to paint the heir of Walkers international as a reckless playboy and risk our ties, would we?"

Grinding his teeth Gerald says-"play your cards right brother or else you run the risk of making your pawn your queen and risk her life to a tiger"

"I am a king who will make even the queen a pawn if required so you better keep your cards in check. Adieu Gerald" Usui finished with a annoying smile before he saw the screen freeze on Gerald's own sadistic curl of lips.

At that moment somewhere in the rooms of walker castle saw a man, known for sharp eyesight, and fast legs, say into his call phone-"yes Gerald-sama I will bring information about her". At the other end of the call he heard Gerald's voice saying –"don't fail me cedric I need to know everything that is to know about her. Ayuzawa Misaki"

"yes, sir"-cedric opens his mail to see the same raven haired girl in his inbox.

"you play a dangerous game Takumi, you should have know better than to mess with my plans, sayonara Takumi" saying so Gerald deleted the picture of Ayuzawa Misaki from his PC.
