Chapter 2
Speechless…
I felt completely speechless when I saw the one that wanted to adopt me and I had to fight the urge to gasp, yet better the urge to laugh.
There was an old man in his middle sixtieth. He was short with a strange grey spiky hair, but he had a hat on it that reminds you of cow boys and his eyes were pure amethyst that I felt my eyes froze when I saw them. His eye color was so unique and extremely beautiful what gave me an idea that this old man was really good looking in his youth. He was wearing black pants and a sweater.
The old man gave me a warm smile that made me freeze in my spot while the stupid Mrs. Mouri came to my side and placed her disgusting, big and harsh hands on my shoulders what made my jaw tighten in aggravation.
"This is Anzu Mazaki, and Anzu this is Mr. Sugoroku Mutou the man that wants to adopt you." She said happily before leaning to whisper in my ear. "He's a filthy rich man and he owns half Japan, so you better know how lucky you are and don't waste this opportunity."
I almost puked at the way she wanted to get rid of me but I let it go to think of what I've learned. So this man is that rich? So why does he want to adopt me? I know that I've never been lucky in my life like this, so why? Mrs. Mouri loves that bitch Leen so why didn't she give her this big chance to finally achieve her dreams and be adopted by a rich man? There must be a catch, but where is it?
The man smiled warmly again what gave me a strange relieving feeling. "We're going to have a great time together, Anzu." He told me.
I raised my eyebrow before realization hit me. What does he mean by his phrase? Could it be that he wants to marry and have sex with me? The idea itself made me shiver and I found myself, for the first time, wanting to stay in this damn orphanage.
The releasing forms and those stupid issues didn't take long to be done and I found myself after an hour ready to go with this old man Sugoroku. He told me not to bring anything from the orphanage with me because he'll get me new stuff, and as a matter of fact I didn't have anything else of clothes but the dirty pjs that I was wearing and another dress only, so I didn't really have that much of things to bring with me.
It was dark and chilly outside when I got out the orphanage for the first time in my life since I came here. The sky looked so big and wide while the stars were so scattered as the moon embraced them all and stood in the centre of the sky. I gasped at the beauty of the sky; this was the first time I see the sky fully and I was so amazed. I noticed Mr. Mutou smile from the corner of my eyes and my amazed expression fell. I was getting scared again.
Suddenly, someone showed up in front of us and bowed to Sukoroku then bowed to me. My face lit up; this was the first time someone bows to me. I felt like I was a celebrity or something.
"Edward, please bring the car." Sugoroku said with his deep voice and the guy with black hair and beautiful brown eyes named Edward gave a strange whistle. Just then a long car was pulling over next to us. This time I gave the biggest gasp; the car was a black limo followed by two Audi and BMW cars. I stood speechless in my place while Edward opened the door of the limo for me.
I stared at Edward and at the car for a minute. Am I supposed to get in this fancy car? I felt eyes on me and I saw old man Sugoroku, Edward and what seemed like body guards in the Audi and the BMW all staring at me and I felt awkward this time.
"Anzu, don't you like the car?" Mr. Mutou asked me and I blinked, really awed by the question. Of course I like this car, hell I've never ridden anything like this before!
I smiled in response and got in the car and Mr. Mutou followed me straight. The ride was silent and all I could think of was the great streets of Japan. I've never known that our country was this breathtakingly beautiful. Mr. Mutou didn't say anything throughout the ride which gave me some kind of a comforting feeling. I was really scared and suspicious about this man. I had the strange feeling that he wanted me for his sex needs and that made me really frightened.
It was like half hour when the car stopped at a big gate. I was examining the place but that didn't work with me since it was really dark outside and I couldn't see anything but tall trees on both sides of the road the car was going through. The car stopped again next to a fountain shaped like cupid and I smiled at the beauty of the statue. I felt the car being opened and I got out the car along with Mr. Mutou.
I gasped hard when I looked at the house of the old man. It was a big mansion with lots of balconies and windows. Man, this mansion is enough to fill all the people in my orphanage.
"This is your new house, Anzu. I hope you liked it." Sugoroku mouth spread into a friendly smile and I only nodded answering his question. The body guards divided around the mansion while Edward opened the front door and bowed to me again.
I can't tell you guys how organized and beautiful the house was from the inside; the colors of the floor and the walls and the elegance of the rooms. I was amazed in every room that Mr. Mutou showed me. The house was large and I was amazed at how an old man like him could live alone here.
When I reached my room, I was more than speechless. There was the color pink all over the room. There was a king-sized bed, a big bathroom, a large balcony and a large closet. I stared at the closet with a sad smile. My clothes don't need a large closet like this. Mr. Mutou noticed me staring at the closet and chuckled.
"Why are you looking at the closet so sadly like this? Go check it out." He told me and I snickered in response. I went to open the closet and a big gasp escaped my lips. There, in the closet were like dozens of clothes from all colors and shapes, from pants and shorts to sweaters and shirts to bags and glasses and shoes and even under wears.
"This is all for me?" I asked doubtfully earning a warm smile from the old man.
"Well, I'm sure I don't wear something like this myself." The old man chuckled.
"I…." I trailed of, unable to think of a response.
"Don't say anything now, Anzu. You are tired now so I suggest you have a shower and go to sleep." I didn't have the time to say no since three maids were in front of me and after bowing to Mr. Mutou, they dragged me to the bathroom in my new bedroom.
After I was given the best bath I've ever had in my life and after the maids used the whole collection of Bath and Body Works on me, I was taken to the room again. I stared at the closet again at the pjs section that had like twenty four pairs of pjs and I decided to wear a blue one.
"Do you want anything else, Miss Anzu?" Jenny, a beautiful blond maid asked me after I was alone with her in the room.
"No, thanks." I answered shyly. I wasn't used to this treatment before and I didn't know what to say to her. The girl bowed to me and was about to leave when I called her again.
"Wait!"
Jenny turned to look at me giving me a sweet smile. "Anything else, Miss?"
"Does Mr. Mutou live alone in this big mansion?" Jenny's mouth drooped from her normal smile and her features turned sad.
"He didn't use to be like this, but for a few years he's been all alone." Jenny's answer was short and brief that I was puzzled. Jenny just bowed and went out my room leaving me to think of all the things that happened so far. I was adopted by the richest man in Japan; I just couldn't get over what happened.
I just smiled and tried to let go. I'm adopted and that what really mattered to me in the mean time. I smirked as I looked at the king-sized bed and quickly went to jump on it. The bed was so soft and puffed and the pillow was all from feather. I felt my cheeks warming when I hugged the pillow. This will be the best sleep I'll have in all my life.
"Don't go Anzu!"
The voice of Ai awakened me from my daydream and my smile fell. How could I forget Ai and how she cried when I left?
Flashback
I was walking to our room to gather my things when I saw my friends all asleep. I stared at them all still not believing that this will be the last time I see them. Man, I was just sleeping there and listening to the girls chat about their prince charming an hour ago, and now I'm leaving them.
My eyes travelled to where Ai was sleeping and I walked slowly to her to give her a goodbye kiss. When I lifted the blanket I was surprised to see Ai's face filled with tears.
"Are you leaving Anzu?" I felt my heart skip a beat at her question, not believing how she knew. "I heard what you guys said at Mouri's office." Ai explained and her eyes held tears again."Are you leaving me Anzu?" She asked me again and then she launched herself in my arms and started to cry. I closed my eyes, blowing out a breath. I can't leave her in this orphanage alone. Who knows what the bitch Leen will do to her. Ai isn't just my little sister, she was more like a daughter to me and I couldn't leave her alone. But I can't let this opportunity slip away from my hand. Who knows when another person will come to adopt me? I'm already about eighteen and I can't stand being in this place any longer. What should I do?
"Please don't leave me alone in here, Anzu." Ai begged again and I hugged her tight to comfort her.
"Don't worry honey. I promise that I'll come back to get you out of here as soon as I get out myself." I promised, although I wasn't sure of this. And this promise reminded me of Seto's promise long ago. He didn't come back to get me and most likely I won't come back to get Ai out either. I sighed, thinking of this while Ai held to me tighter.
"No! I want to go with you now." She retorted angrily.
"I can't take you with me now!" I shot back, glaring at her. I thought she might be mad at me for yelling at her and let me go, but she hugged me tighter and her cries became louder.
"Please take me with you Anzu." She begged again but I had to go. I knew she'd be mad at me but she'd understand in the end. I kissed her head and let go of her, walking away towards the door.
"Don't go Anzu!" Ai yelled again but I kept walking. I opened the door knob and was about to walk out when…
"Mommy, please don't leave me!"
I froze in my spot and my heart stopped. I felt butterflies bumping around in my stomach while fresh tears travelled up to my eyes. I couldn't believe she called me "mommy". I couldn't.
I walked a step forward but then, hearing her cries, I couldn't keep walking away. I turned around and hurried to her, drawing her to my arms. We both cried so much for a long time before Saki came in. She watched us for some time with teary eyes before she called me.
"Anzu, Mrs. Mouri is calling for you." I stared at Ai's soft features that were begging me not to go. I really wanted to stay with her, but at the same time I needed to have a new life. I gave Ai a small smile and wiped the tears away from her small angelic face.
"It's alright baby, I'll be here again soon to get you out. I promise you with that." Ai eyed me for a minute still debating. "I promise that we'll be together again soon. Just trust me with that. Within a few days we'll be together." Ai still didn't believe me. I brushed a few strands of her long, silky hair away from her cheek and kissed her forehead. "Ai, you're my everything, and I love you so very much, so trust me, please!"
"Mommy Anzu!" Ai just smiled and gave me a very strong hug and kiss. "I love you so much mommy."
I hugged Ai for the last time and told her to take care of herself. Then I grabbed my things and walked with Saki. Ai ran after me and kept crying, but I had to ignore her and leave.
End Of Flashback…
Remembering Ai calling me, I sighed heavily and closed my eyes. I wish I can tell Mr. Mutou to adopt her too. He's rich anyway and he can take care of both of us. Oh, I don't even know why this old man adopted me and how he's going to treat me, so how could I think of telling him to adopt Ai? I felt my eyes close; I was really tired. I'll think of something tomorrow, I told myself before I closed my eyes and drifted into a deep slumber.
~...~
The morning rays shone through the creamy curtains annoying me. As I woke up, a smile of satisfy colored my features. I had to admit that this was the best night I had in my whole life and I enjoyed sleeping for the first time in my life.
I went to the bathroom to have a sweet warm bath and I enjoyed every minute of it. I almost finished all the shampoos and conditioners on my hair while I was picking which one smelled better, and they all smelled awesomely by the way.
After finishing the great bath, I went to choose something to wear. I was really confused since this was the first time that I had all these clothes and not only one pair that I always wore. Finally, I put on a pair of jeans with a tight blue long sleeved top. I was fixing my hair when someone knocked on the door.
"Are you up Miss Anzu?" I recognized the voice as Jenny's and smiled.
"Yes Jenny, come in."
Jenny came and saw my fixing my hair. "OMG! Miss Anzu why didn't you call for me to help you." I smiled to her not really knowing what she would help me with.
"It's alright, I can shower and get dressed by myself."
"Of course you can. However, Mr. Mutou asked me to never let you do anything by yourself."
I was really confused, that old man is treating me like a princess, I just wish to know why. He is alone so does that mean he wants to marry me maybe?
"Come on Miss, breakfast is ready and Mr. Mutou is waiting for you at the dinning room." By the mentioning of the old man and the picture that was in my head, I got really scared to be with him. I just wish he doesn't try to lay his hands on me.
Jenny dragged me to the dinning room in this huge house and I was wonderstruck when I saw it. It was decorated with gold and nothing but gold. The table was made of crystal and the curves and legs were made of gold. The chandeliers were also golden and the rugs were golden too while there were statues round the room and they seemed like they worth a fortune.
"Good Morning Anzu." Mr. Mutou extracted me from my thoughts and I turned my head to him. He was giving me a sweet smile but it didn't make me relax one bit. I had a feeling that he wanted me for sex and that idea made fear creep into my mind.
One of the servants took my chair out and I sat then felt him push the chair while someone came and placed a handchkif on my lap. The table was full of all kinds of food that was enough to feed all the children in the orphanage. The picture of Ai came across my mind and I sighed heavily.
"Are you alright, Anzu?" Mr. Mutou asked but I didn't answer. I just didn't feel ease when I was around that man. "Do you need anything honey?"
I clenched my fist at the word "honey". I knew that this mad needed me for those kind of things. I rose an angry gaze to him, eyeing him from head to toe.
"Listen to me old man," I saw the servants around us along with Jenny gasping hard when I called him old man, "if you think that you'll have me in your bed, then you're so damn wrong! You should be ashamed to think this way since I'm like your grandchildren. But I bet you don't have grandchildren because no girl will accept to marry a pervert like you!"
I felt really satisfied that I gave him a piece of my mind while all the servants were staring at me with wide eyes. Mr. Mutou stared at me for a second, not the least affected by what I said. And then...
He laughed...
I tilted my head to the side, this time really surprised. Mr. Mutou shook his head. "I didn't bring you here for this, Anzu. I don't know how you had that idea in your mind!"
He laughed again. "What do you mean?" I asked him.
"First of all, I had a wife but she died long time ago and I do have grandchildren and yeah you're the same age as them!"
"Then why did you bring me here? And why are you treating me like this?"
Mr. Mutou rose up from his seat opposite of me and came to me placing his hands on my shoulders making me wince. "I'm living here all alone and I wanted someone to be with me since my grandchildren left the house. Anzu, I brought you here to take care of you properly and from now on you can treat me like I was your grandpa."
"My grandpa?" I repeated vaguely. I never had a grandpa and the word made me really happy. "Are you sure?"
Mr. Mutou smiled warmly, this time making my heart jump with joy knowing that this man is not a freak. "Yes my daughter..."
I grinned at the word "daughter". Turning to my meal, I started eating but not before I babbled some thanks to him. He went to his place again and started to have his breakfast too.
~...~
"Grandpa, why did adopt me?" I asked him. I was silently asking that in my mind, why didn't he go for Leen, I bet her dreams were to be adopted by a rich man like him.
"You are a good girl and when I saw you I knew you were the one."
"Hmm…." I was thinking of his answer.
"You seem like a hero, Anzu, and I really need a hero to save my life." Grandpa Mutou looked at me and read the puzzled look in my eyes and smiled. "Anyway, I promise you my dear daughter that I'll free you when you're eighteen."
"Really?"
"Yep." He laughed. "I'll give you half my fortune and I'll give away the rest for homeless and orphanages."
I was surprised. This man is really a great person and I felt ashamed for the stupid things I said to him earlier on breakfast.
"I'm sorry for all the stupid things I said."
Grandpa chuckled. "Don't you worry. It happens." He pinched my cheek lovingly and gave me a warm smile that melted my sad heart. "Now tell me, what do you know about your family?"
I sighed. "Not so much, Miss Mouri said I was on the doorstep of the orphanage when I was a baby and they couldn't find any identifying thing with me."
I could see the sad look in grandpa's eyes, and it made me feel as if he knew another truth and was sad for me because I had this wrong idea in my head. Something like this.
"It's all because of him." He muttered.
"What?" I thought I heard wrong. But he didn't repeat.
"Nothing, my dear." He assured with a smile.
I let it go, wanting to know about him. "Tell me about your family grandpa." I was loving this word. Mr. Mutou however gasped and turned his head to the side, ignoring my question before gave a tired breath.
~...~
A week passed with me living with Mr. Mutou, the now known as my grandpa. Despite the great treatment I was given by him, but still, every day that passed made me sure that my new grandpa was a strange man.
He was mysterious, and you always have a feeling when you're around him that he hides a big secret about his life. Why did he adopt me and only me? Why doesn't he talk about his family? Why does he live here alone? Where are his grandchildren, yet alone his own children? Lots of questions were jumping up and down in my head and I had the feeling that he'll never answer them.
One day I opened his closet and saw big album full of pictures for him and what seemed to me like his grandchild. He had a strange spiky trie-colored hair and big round amethyst eyes. He looked nice and was held by Mr. Mutou and what seemed like another hand around his waist. But the owner of this hand was missing from the picture since it was torn from his side. I opened another picture and there was the same; grandpa and this kid that looked about ten and the picture was also torn from the side. I quickly turned all the pages of the album and all the pictures were torn from the side. And when I asked grandpa about it, he left the room again and refused to tell me why.
What does he hide? And why he never answers my questions? Lots of questions were in my mind and even the servants weren't there to answer when I'd ask. Something was totally wrong in this house.
~...~
"Miss Anzu!" Edward called for me. I was wearing my boots and ready to hit the mall for the first time with grandpa.
All the way, Edward kept telling grandpa that he shouldn't get out the car since he was a celebrity and appearing in such a crowded place would cause trouble, but he didn't agree saying that this was the first time I go to a mall and he should be with me like a good grandpa. I had tears in my eyes because of his nice words and ended up hugging him tightly with Edward and him smiling.
When the car was pulling off, I was looking up to the huge building in front of me and gasping in awe, when I noticed a pink car pulling over and a girl with short, tight skirt, and blue tight topless shirt along with a matching jacket hopping out of it. She had white high heels and pink sunglasses on her eyes. However, when she took off the glasses and turned around, I literally jumped out of the limo, a big gasp escaping my mouth, and I cried out loud making the whole universe look my way.
"MAIIIIIII?"
(Smiling). I know this chapter took me forever to finish, but I'm so very busy and there are some huge things going on in my country, so I didn't have that passion to write anymore. So now that I'm re-adapting to the fact that I can write, I think that I'll be updating sooner. I promise you all. :)
I love you all..
