I stood in front of the building that Akashi family owns, the company of one of the most influential groups not just in Japan but around the world. Standing here now reminded me again that I got married to the chairman of this company.

My heart was bursting in nervousness. I called Naomi-chan, she wanted to come with me but she was at the airport, going to Korea for a business meeting.

I entered the building, and I could feel the security guards looking at me, suspicious eyes piercing from them. I went to the front desk, where two women greeted me, one smiled, but one just blankly looked at me

"Uhm, I am here to give some important documents for Akashi Seijurou-san, can you let him know about it?"

"Do you have appointment with him?" The woman on the left asked

"No, I was only told to give him this morning."

"Then we'll give it to him instead"

"Sorry, but I was told to personally give it to him" I humbly objected but their face became darker and they started to look at me suspiciously

"What's your name?"

"(F-f/n), Akashi (f/n)" I told them and they looked at each other.

"Please wait for a while"

One started calling someone, but the other one started using her computer. Minutes passed after, both of them looked at each other, then shook their heads

"I apologize but the person closed to the chairman said there's no such person exists in the family"

"Your name also didn't show up in the data base"

"But if you tell him that Akashi (f/n) is here, he'll immediately know" I sounded so desperate telling them

"Akashi (f/n)?" I turned around and it's her, the adopted cousin, Akashi Nano!

"Yes"

"Never heard of you. Who are you trying to deceive here?" She crossed her arms, and there's necktie on her hand. She's going to Seijurou again and change it

"I am not trying to deceive anyone. I am just here to deliver important documents" I honestly answered but I could see her sharp gaze towards me

"I am Seijurou's secretary, hand it to me. I'll give it to him"

"I apologize, but as I said, I was told by Masaomi-san to personally give it to his son" I was careful with my words, as much as I wanted to tell to this person that I need to give it to my husband, I did my best to stay calm still. Plus, if I tell them, they would surely think that I am 100% trying to deceive them

She raised her arms, and immediately two security guards showed up behind me.

"I won't make a big deal of it so get out of this building. We always have people like you pretending to know Seijurou, but only trying to have connection with him. Escort her out and don't let her in again"

She's getting on my nerves. Why do Seijurou have this kind of secretary? I know that she's his cousin, but still, isn't she too much? I am kindly asking them, and just one call to Seijurou, they would know but they refused to do so. I guess because calling him for such matter isn't as important for when someone from other company is looking for him?

I smiled at her and just gave up "I'll leave this building, but I'll make sure you will regret it" I turned around and left the building, the security guards following me.

I stood outside and sighed, getting my phone out of my pocket to at least call Seijurou.

I rang once, twice, three times, but no response. He might be in a meeting then. I sighed and looked at the envelope on my hand

"Now, what should I do? Father said Seijurou needs the documents this afternoon" I mumbled then turned around, but my eyes widened seeing the person I am looking for.

He arrived at the main floor, walking towards the front desk. I didn't know what they were talking about, but one thing, after talking to the women at the front desk, that Nano girl again hold his necktie, removing it. Ah, she's insisting. Even though Seijurou didn't want to. Of course, he didn't like it since I was the one who put it on-

Ah...
He sighed and complied to her, like what he did yesterday. Just where is his almighty and emperor aura of not letting others order him?

This is bad, I am getting more irritated, personally seeing this, I just wanted to tease them.

I am fully conscious, but my body just moved on its own, ignoring the warning from the security guards, but when they touched me, I glared at them and mildy told them

"I was told to give this to Akashi Seijurou, he's there, so I must give it to him. And if you don't let me in, I don't know what will happen to you if Akashi Masaomi-sama hears about it!" The two moved back, but still followed me as I approached Seijurou

"You are back again!" Nano angrily shouted but my eyes were just fixated towards Seijurou

"(F/n)? Why are you here?"

"Seijurou, you know this person?"

"I know I was thrown out of this building and was told not to return ever again, but I am here to deliver this to Akashi-sama since Masaomi-sama asked me when I saw him this morning" I handed the envelope and had a fake smile. I turned to Nano and smiled at her "you sure are close. By the way, Akashi Nano-san, about the necktie"

"Huh?"

"Nothing, I just remembered my husband about the necktie. Actually his necktie had been changing since Monday. Then, I just started learning about it and also put one yesterday, but he returned home with a different one. I wonder if he doesn't like it and just changing on his own. But I feel anxious"

"Huh? I don't know what you are saying, nor I don't even care"

"Oh my bad, I wanted to ask you about your taste on neckties. But well then, about the necktie, are you going to throw it like what you did from the necktie yesterday?" I asked but she looked at me, her eyes widening in surprised "ah, I was actually having a video call with Naomi-chan yesterday. I saw how close you are, and you threw one, right? I actually asked Naomi-chan to have the necktie you threw yesterday, and let my husband wear it today. But he might change it again, so can I have it? It looks very similar with the one I gave to my husband. Oh but I should ask Akashi-sama, if it's okay with him? But his necktie looks good now anyways, so that necktie is no use anymore, right?"

"What are you even saying?" Nano sighed and handed the necktie to me "she can have it, right Seijurou? It's hideous like what you wore yesterday. And you, why are you pretending to be an Akashi?!" She hissed pointing at me but I smiled and tilted my head

"Pretending? I am Akashi (f/n), I am sure Akashi-sama knows my husband"

Nano crossed her arms and mentioned names I didn't even know. She was thinking who from the Akashi family I got married to

"Just what kind of farce is this?" Seijurou sighed, but I could see that seems his getting the situation he is in.

"Farce? Not at all. Just seeing the two of you together, you really are close. Then, seeing her putting the necktie on you just made me this crazy thoughts about my husband, that perhaps, he is letting another woman touched him, changing his necktie or something like that. Sorry, I might be paranoid though" I dryly chuckled then bowed down "well then, I'll take my leave, and sorry that even though I was forced to leave this building and told not to return, I came back. Oh but I needed to give the documents after all, so you might not see me here anymore."

Seijurou crossed his arm then turned to the security guards and front desk "she will surely return here again, and if she comes back make sure to let her in without any question." He told them but asked why and who on earth am I. "She's-"

"Please refrain from telling who am I. Grandfather's order" I reminded him then turned around "well then, I need to meet with my wedding coordinator. I should ask her to change the colour theme from white to black, so it will be dark red and black" I jokingly told them in which the others were at lost, Seijurou was looking at me, him finally realizing the whole situation. "Well then" I bowed down and left, gripping my hands.

Calm down, it's not Seijurou's fault, not that woman. It's me, since I didn't talk to him. I should get mad at myself, I shouldn't act like that. But it was irritating, seeing that woman touching him and him okay with it, complying to what she wanted.

~Akashi~

As (f/n) left, Akashi sighed as he fully understand the situation he was in. He finally understood her actions. He found it adorable though that he was able to see a new side of her, but felt worse for himself since he made her feel that.

"Nano" Akashi called her and the woman looked at him delightfully "you threw the necktie yesterday?"

"Well yes, it was hideous after all. But Naomi-chan got it and I was surprised that she gave it to that woman. So it means Naomi-chan also knows that woman- wait, Seijurou what are you doing?!" Nano and the women from the front desk were taken aback when they saw Akashi removing the necktie given to him

"From now on, you don't need to worry about what I wear. Just do your work" Akashi glared at her then took the necktie off and to everyone's surprise, he threw it away.

Akashi was about to get his phone, but he remembered that he left it in his bag. He hurriedly returned to his office, and got his phone out.

He saw the missed calls and felt guilty for making her experience such thing. He called her back and he felt relief when she answered, and he knew that it was on speaker, she was driving already

"Can you return here? I need to talk to you-"

"We can talk later tonight. But I might return home late. I'll be meeting my high school friends after meeting Rina-san"

"You aren't going to change the theme, right?" Akashi worriedly asked but received a laugh from her

"Of course not! I was just joking! I was just irritated a while ago. Sorry about that"

"No, don't apologize. It should be me. I really wanted to talk to you-"

"Akashi-sama the call conference will start in five minutes" One of his staffs knocked and informed him

Akashi didn't response as he really wanted to talk to (f/n), but

"Go, we have time to talk. It's just a small matter. I am really sorry that it comes to this point. I'll talk to you later then, good luck on your meeting"

"(F/n)"

"Hmmmm?"

"Thank you, and I rarely say it but I really do love you."

(F/n) chuckled and also responded "I know, and you also know that I do love you. Now, go to your meeting."

Once the call ended, Akashi sighed then looked at his phone "Should I cancel the meeting? I really want to see and talk to her"

But then he thought that she has prior plans as well. He crossed his arms, closed his eyes, remembering what happened that week. He clicked his tongue and got annoyed to himself for being oblivious. He also realized and understood Naomi's words from yesterday.

As he was repenting from his actions, the door of his office opened widely and there Nano, frantically entering his office with another necktie on her hand

"Goodness Seijurou! Just what do you think you are doing?! Now, wear this one before the conference call meeting! Don't be stubborn and just wear it"

"Didn't I tell you, don't bother anymore." Akashi retorted then opened his eyes "why didn't I notice it early?" He sighed then got the envelope (f/n) gave "do your job as secretary, and don't bother on my personal matters again!" Akashi ordered since Nano was insisting

She was at lost to what's with the sudden change of attitude. She was thinking "Did he got influenced by (f/n)'s words?"

"But why?"

~

Though Akashi was restless after what happened, he was able to finish his work without any problem.

He hurriedly went home but found out that (f/n) was still not home. He wanted to go and pick her up, but he received a message from her that her phone would be out of battery so she won't be able to message or call him back. She told him that her friend from high school picked her up from her parents house, and will be sending her home after.

Again, Akashi was being restless. He ate dinner, but then after changing his clothes, he started to walk back and forth near the front door.

"Seijurou-sama, calm down. (F/n)-sama is surely fine" his butlers and maids told him, but he couldn't help it.

He wanted to talk to her, but she wasn't home still, furthermore he couldn't even contact her.

"I'll go pick her up after all!" Akashi grabbed his jacket, as his servants tried to stop him. "It's almost 12 and she's still not here!"

"She's already an adult, so just wait patiently! You also don't know where she is"

And as they said that, the front door opened, resulting for (f/n) to blink fast, then tilted her head in confusion

"Why are you all here in the entrance hall?"

The servants composed themselves, moved back and they were hesitant to answer

She removed her jacket and hang it on the side cabinet.

"W-welcome back, (f/n)-sama"

"I am back, also I said not to call me that." She responded then turned her gaze towards her husband, who was standing still and not saying anything "are you heading somewhere?" She asked noticing that he had his jacket

But Akashi didn't response and to her surprise, he threw his jacket off, then hurriedly carried her back to their room.

~(f/n)'s pov~

"Uhm... S-Seijurou?" I was caught off guard when suddenly he carried me to our room, then lay me down in our bed. His red eyes piercing me down as he's on top of me "can I take a shower? I was in Izakaya..." I knew well why he was doing this, but I thought he was already asleep so somehow I wasn't prepared

"I was so restless today. I wanted to talk with you so badly, but you had plans then I wasn't able to contact you, I didn't even know when you are coming home. Why it happened today when I wanted to talk to you, to hug you-?"

I touched his cheeks with both of my hands, stopping him "are you drunk? It seems you are more drunk than I am"

"You drink?"

"No, I didn't." I immediately responded then smiled at him, and somehow I felt calm "I also wanted to talk to you. But I realized that this matter is really small. I just making big deal out of it."

"But still we need to talk about it. I am at fault, sorry"

"We'll talk, but let me take a shower first, please." I pleaded and he's having a devilish smile "...don't tell me...?"

~

I knew it!

Not just shower, but we were on the tub. We ended up taking one together, he said he hadn't had one.

I sighed as I leaned my back to him, then I felt his hands curling on my waist

"Honestly, it's just myself being paranoid." I started "I just noticed it last Monday. I thought I was imagining things. I wanted to talk to you about it, but I was thinking that it was just my imagination. Then that happened last Tuesday. I just kept on thinking that it was you, who was changing it. I asked Kise-kun and Kuroko-kun for help." I sighed and cuddled to him more "but then, my instinct was right. Someone was changing it, even doing it for you. Seeing through the video call, even personally, I just couldn't help but felt irritated."

"Sorry"

I moved back then shook my head "Don't be. As I said, it's just me being paranoid. Chiba-san was right. You had no idea about it, she doesn't know anything as well, I should've talked to you about it."

"But even still, I made you worry. I wasn't being careful. Chiba-san?"

I smiled at him as I touched his cheeks "Naomi-chan's friend. Set that aside, you see, it made me realized that it's not just because you didn't know it, but because you didn't care about other woman so you didn't notice what she was doing. All you care about was me"

"Yeah, sorry that I was oblivious with other woman because all I could see is you."

"That's more than enough" I initiated a kiss and it was really warm.

As I moved back, I immediately hugged him

"(F/n)?"

"It was just a small matter. I know there will be times that we won't understand each other, we'll fight and worry. But I will persevere and stay with you. I will be with you. We will work things out, right?"

Seijurou chuckled and he hugged me back "yeah, we'll stay together. Like your parents, and like what your father said, I'll love you more than yesterday. I'll love you more and more"

I moved back and smiled as I agreed to him "yeah, me too. I'll love you more than yesterday."

And once again we kissed, he initiated this time.

~

I was sitting at the end of the bed, combing my hair. I felt tired since we did it in the tub. Seriously, he surely finds time where and when to do it.

"(F/n)" I turned to Seijurou, who was wearing his bathrobe, approaching me

"What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you ask your friends if they have charger, or power bank with them? You could message me if you asked them"

"Ah, I have my charger and even power bank. But recently, my phone is acting weird. Well, I already back-up my datas and contacts. I was able to send you the message, but when I charged it, my phone's screen became half" I explained as I got my phone from my bag, showing him that only half of the screen could be seen "I am planning to bring it for repair tomorrow"

"No need, let's buy a new one. Let's go and buy a new one after my work tomorrow"

"But I need to prepare foods for Hina-chan. She'll come back tomorrow"

"Didn't they tell you? They will be back on Saturday instead. I didn't hear more about the details but seems like they will be extending one more day"

"I didn't hear about it" I exclaimed as I let my languish out, "and here I am hoping that I can be with Hina-chan again. I miss her so much"

Seijurou chuckled and it was then he suddenly carried me and gently lay me down on the bed "I also miss Hina-chan. But then this is the best opportunity for us to be alone"

"Just to interrupt you, I am dead tired already, so I hope you aren't thinking doing it again. Plus, you have work tomorrow as well"

"Don't worry, even though it's not enough, I won't do it. But I want to hug you while we sleep"

As if I could say no to that.

~Next morning~

Though still sleepy, I did my best to wake up. 

I smile at him as tie one of the neckties I bought. But actually this one, Kise-kun just jokingly told me to let Seijurou wear it; a blue necktie with sushi patterns. I could see that he didn't like it, but somehow, in this moment, I could feel the superiority. 

"If you don't like it, you can change it. I am sure your cousin will go hysterical if she sees this so she will insist to change it"

"This one is fine. I'll wear it. And don't worry, I won't let her. Do you have any plans for today? Except for our plan later?"

"Miho will be here with one of my high school friends that I met yesterday. They will help me designing the papers for the thank you letters."

"If ever you need help, just ask the maids, okay?" I nodded and somehow my body just moved on it's own and I kissed him on the lips

"Itterashai" I shyly told him but I was surprised when he kissed me back

"I think I'll be looking forward for that one from now on, also when I get home" he is now teasing me.

Once he left, I flinched when suddenly two of the maids giggled behind me

"What's wrong?" I curiously asked and they grinned at me

"We're glad that the person he got married to is you, (f/n)-sama"

"What do you mean? Also, as I said, you can casually call me"

"We can't do that. You are now the young lady of this household." The two answered at the same time

"But.."

"Anyways, young master is totally different now. We couldn't even imagine the changes." The maid on the right giggled,

"Right! He was so cold before bringing Mina-san and Hina-sama here. We couldn't even see him smile." Agreed by then one on the left "then, he slightly changed. He would smile a bit, but still his cold expressions remain"

"But when you arrived here, we could see more of his expressions. When we left for vacation, we were able to see more of his expressions. But right now,"

"He's totally different! The way he felt restless, the way he looks at you with loving eyes, they are so refreshing!"

"That's why we are looking forward when young master has his own son. It would be a picturesque!"

The two looked at me and genuinely smiled

"We were on doubt and at question why would a babysitter be Young master's wife, but then we realized that you give him a warm feeling of a family, and surely you will give more from now on"

"We're looking forward seeing more side of young master when he's with you"

The two were really enjoying telling me about the changes from Seijurou. But they are right. Seijurou was totally different when we first met. He showed more of his different sides now if I'm with him.

"You two, start working now" I turned behind me and there's Kanako-san. She bowed down as she stood in front of me. I haven't seen her since before they went on vacation. Seijurou said some of the servants went back to the main mansion, like Sanae-san, and some of them were in different household now. So right now, there's much less of people here.

"Kanako-san, it's been a while" I bowed down and showed how excited and relief I was seeing her. Truth to be told, aside from Sanae-san, I got close to her.

"(f/n)-sama, young master ordered me to help you in preparing for your wedding."

"Thank you so much! That will be a big help" I responded then she looked at the two maids

"Don't you have works to do?"

"Well then (f/n)-sama, we'll see you around"

Ah, I forgot to ask their names.

"Kanako-san, what are their names?" I asked but she shook her head

"You don't need to know."

"Eh...? But..."

"Don't worry about them, sooner or later, you won't see them"

I tilted my head and curious to what she said "are they going to work somewhere like the others?"

She looked at me and slightly smile "My apologies. Please forget what I said. Well then, let's go and prepare the materials you need. Your friends might arrive soon."

I went to get the materials from our room then we went to one of the guest rooms.

~

Before lunch, Miho and one of my high school friends, Ishikawa Ayaka-chan, arrived.

I went to welcome them, and I was expecting Ayaka to be surprised, since I told them I got married but never mentioned who. I never expected her to be this surprised though

"Which from Akashi family did you get married to?!" She asked in loud voice her eyes roaming around

"Seijurou, ah, but don't tell anyone yet. We'll send the invitation as soon as possible." I responded then led them towards the guest room

"That Akashi Seijurou...? To think that you got married to my boyfriend's boss"

"Eh, what do you mean?"

"He is Akashi-sama's secretary, Nakamura Shinji. He didn't tell me that Akashi-sama is already married, nor he has a girlfriend" Ayaka sighed then looked at me "since when did this happen?"

"I started as a babysitter here" I smiled then winked at her "please don't tell anyone. But to think that Seijurou is really famous. Even my siblings know him and the others"

"Akashi-sama has his own fansclub. He's one of the most influencial and the number 1 bachelor girls wanted to marry." Ayaka chuckled "and to think you grab a precious gem, congratulations!"

"Thank you"

"(F/n)-sama, would you like to eat lunch first?" One of the maids asked me. I looked at Miho and Ayaka and they looked at each other "we also prepared the dishes for Miho-sama as per Atsushi-sama and Shintarou-sama's request."

"Then let's go eat first"

~Akashi~

As for Akashi, as what (f/n) said, Nano went hysterical, trying to convince Akashi to change his necktie. But Akashi didn't let her this time.

In much the others plead as well, Akashi wore his necktie, and continue with his meetings. Only two of his secretaries understood why, Momoi Satstuki and Hidaka Yurika. They both knew after all that Akashi is already married.

However, one thing why the others were trying to convince him, Akashi had a special video interview. It's for a TV show, and it's part of the segment where they would interview the 10 most influential people in Japan, and Akashi is one of them.

That was why they wanted him to change his necktie. But Akashi stayed firmed, and went for his interview, with Momoi and Hidaka.

~

He sat down in front of cameras and the interviewer, and as expected they were all conscious of his out of place necktie.

"When are you going to broadcast this?" Akashi asked before they started the interview

"It will be on the 30th." The interviewer responded

"Perfect, but I hope that whatever private things you hear, it won't come out until my family announced it first. I will give you privilege for it to announce after as well"

The interviewer looked at him confusedly, as he didn't know what Akashi meant, but he promised that they won't release any private information until he gives them the go signal.

The interview started and they asked Akashi series of questions regarding him being the youngest chairman in Akashi family, expectations from his family, his past achievements, and more.

And to lighten up the mood, the interviewer finally asked what he really wanted to ask

"It's a bit out of context, but let's talk about Akashi-san's fashion. This is the first time we see you wearing such fashion."

"Ah, this" Akashi chuckled then touched his necktie "I made my wife mad so she let me wear it"

"W-wife? Akashi-san is already married?! Is that the private information you were talking about?"

"Yeah, we already registered, but the ceremony will be soon."

"Is it okay if we ask a little information, about your wife?"

"How can I explain this, my wife gives me the family that I long for. She's very warm and I can really feel that I am loved. We met with unexpected situations, but she taught me lots of things. Even though there are many people, actually even me said that I know everything, when I am with her, I realized that there are lots of things I don't know, and only her can teach me." Akashi explained and they could see and feel that his words were genuine and sincere. They could feel that Akashi loves her "My grandfather and father both accepted her because she's a rare and unique one. She is from a normal family as well, not as a daughter of our business partners, that's why as much as possible I don't want to reveal her since I wanted to enjoy our private times"

"You really do love your wife. What are some changes in your lifestyle now that you are married?"

"Hmmm, let see, receiving morning kisses, also when I leave home and return home." He answered making everyone blushed "also, I was accustomed eating without anyone talking, but ever since she became part of our family, eating meal is something I always looking forward to."

"You mentioned that you just returned this week from your vacation, were you with your wife?"

"Yes, we enjoyed our winter vacation. We celebrated Christmas and New year with our families. My everyday is filled with excitement now."

"This is really unexpected, hearing from the number 1 bachelor, girls wanted to marry. Now, I became curious but you don't need to answer. You mentioned that you made her mad. You made up already, right?"

"Yes, we already did. This necktie, it's more like she let me wear it, but also gave me the option to change it. I chose not too since this feels new and refreshing as well."

"It's also refreshing to us. Knowing now that Akashi Seijurou-san is already married. Your wife is surely lucky to have you."

"No, it's the opposite. My daughter and I are lucky to have her"

"...eh...? Daughter...?"

"Ah, I can't elaborate more about that. But yes, we have a daughter."

"This is really a surprise. But still, congratulations on your marriage and we are hoping for your warm happy family life."

"Thank you very much"

The interviewer wrapped up the interview and once again congratulated Akashi. However, Akashi was surprised to what the interviewer talked to him in private

"Actually, the station received a message, it was anonymous and we couldn't track where it came from"

"About?"

"About you having a wife from a normal family. But more to that, some of your business partners involved in embezzlement, and stuffs like that. We don't go deeper to it yet but seeing the lists, they were all connected to you"

Akashi crossed his arms and made an enigmatic smile

"Tell me more about that"

~(f/n)'s pov~

After eating lunch, we went to the guest  room and started designing the papers for the letters. They designed, and I started writing. Seijurou and I listed all the names we would be inviting, and there were only at least 50, not much, but still too much writing to do.

While doing it, we were reminiscing past stories. We were busy, but at the same time we were having fun.

And we didn't even realize that it was already night until Seijurou arrived.

"Ah welcome home" I greeted him when he entered the room

"I'm home" he greeted back and even though the two were there, he kissed me on the lips

"Wait- you!"

"Goodness, you two" Miho chuckled "been a while, Seijurou-sama"

"Yeah, Murasakibara is outside, just talking to someone" Seijurou responded then turned to Ayaka

"Ah, she's my high school friend that I mentioned, Ishikawa Ayaka-chan"

"Nice to meet you" Ayaka bowed down but we were surprised when Seijurou greeted back

"Yeah, aren't you Shinji's girlfriend?"

"You know?"

"He has your pictures on his desk, and I remembered one time before that he was anxiously asking me to give him a week off to look after his girlfriend, who got into an accident."

"Somehow, I am sorry about that. It wasn't even a serious one, but he made a big deal out of it"

"Well, he was indeed got into my nerves that time so I told him to have a month off instead. But then, I could sympathize now his actions" he responded then approached the letters "anyways, you sure had a great progress now. I'll also write my part here"

"Ah, here you are. Miho-chin, I'm here to get you."

"Thank you, Atsushi."

"(F/n)-chin, congratulation. Ahre, who is she? A friend?" Atsushi-san is really so random time to time

"Yeah, one of our High school friends. She wasn't able to attend our wedding last time because she was in a business trip" Miho introduced her as she gathered her stuffs "Ayaka, we'll drop you off as well"

"Don't you want to eat dinner first?" I asked but

"Thank you, (f/n)-chin. But, we are actually going to Miho-chin's parents' house today." Atsushi-san responded

"I also need to go home. We need to prepare since we'll go to Osaka early morning tomorrow. But next week, I'll be back with Yuriko-chan, we'll help you again. Just let us know when" Ayaka added

"By the way, Ayaka-san, right? Can you keep this one from Shinji for now? I am really not planning of inviting him, but now knowing that his girlfriend is my wife's friend, then I'll just let him know when I give the wedding invitation to him." Seijurou requested in which Ayaka complied, plus she also added

"Then don't give him the invitation. Just surprise him the day of the wedding. I'll just ask him to go with me, like introduce him to my friend, or something like that"

"Then, let's go with that."

We see the three off, and Miho won't be able to come next week to help since she would start the planning for the wedding reception designs. But Ayaka would be here, with one of our friends.

We also decided to just go on Sunday to buy new phone, since tomorrow he had work until 6, and Hina would be returning. I told him that I would meet them in my parents house so he could just go straight there after work.

After dinner, we went to the guest room, and he started writing on the thank you letters that we already finished. While writing, I was telling him what happened that day, and while we were on it, Seijurou mentioned about how everyone except Satsuki and one his secretaries insisted of changing his necktie.

I felt somehow that he was being careful with his words, like he was hiding something.

He turned to me as he noticed that I was staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... just..."

"Hmmm?"

Should I tell him? But then, if I don't speak up, it might turn out what happened before.

"Nothing just, I felt that you are so careful with your words that you are somehow hiding something behind your words." I chuckled "but, I am wrong, right?"

Seijurou chuckled then approached me. "Your instinct is really top notch. Should we end this for now, and let's go to bed?"

"So you really are hiding something"

"Well, I was planning to surprise you. But don't worry, I'll tell you in bed."

I looked at him suspiciously, but he just laughed it out.

"Tv program?" I asked as he handed a paper to me "also, a cryptic message?" I looked at him confusedly since I didn't get anything at all.

But he explained about the interview, and that he talked about me there. I didn't watch TV that much so I didn't know. But he told me that we could watch it together when they broadcast it. He also mentioned that there might be people, who would be following him and would take pictures of the people with him.

"They might take pictures of us then if I am with you. Then we need to be careful, more like, we shouldn't go out together-"

"Don't worry, it's not that they will release those right away. I am sure they will release them before the Shareholders meeting next year, it's a meeting to decide who will be the chairman, if I should stay still or a new one." He explained but then, didn't he get the position since his father gave it to him? And seems, Seijurou knew what I was thinking "they often do that every 2 years. They would see who has the highest stock shareholder, then vote after. Anyways, they are just gathering information for now. But then, thanks to the interviewer this afternoon, I got lots of information, and now are working to find out who sent the cryptic message to the TV stations." He explained but then, somehow...

"You said you got lots of information, means you already have an idea about it, right? Just, you reached a dead end on your investigation" I asked and he looked at me in surprised "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I am really impressed that you said that." He chuckled and nodded "indeed, we were in dire situation since all our investigation all reached in that end, we didn't know what to move next."

"Then, now that you got lots of information, you can continue with the investigation?"

"Yeah, I got the cryptic message after all. Seeing all the list, they were all from the company of my business partners. One thing for sure is that the person who sent this is from my family. I have list of the people who hated the fact that I am the chairman, so it's easy to go from here on."

"Why do you think that it's from your family?"

"If I didn't get the information, I won't know. All the information sent to them were before the New Year's party, but then the last message they sent was about me having a wife, and it was the day after we announced it to my family. If it was after the party with our business partners, then I would focus on them."

"It feels like you knew already that they sent messages to the TV stations? Was that the reason you accepted the interview?"

And he didn't response, but instead he laughed then he lied down, "Let's sleep."

"Wait, you didn't answer-"

"I feel like you know already. Yeah, that's the reason. Well, there are few ways on how to bring me down, and one of it is to release private information to the public. Not to get the opinions from the public, but to let the shareholders to rethink about who they should vote."

I didn't know what to say next but, I somehow feel like he's so stress about it. I held his hand and assured him

"Don't worry, you have flaws, but it won't let you down. I am sure that you will still be the chairman, because your business partners know how you work, that you work honestly."

"(F/n)"

"Hmmmm?"

"I was planning not to do it tonight," as he said that, he moved on top of me "but, I need to make love with my wife, since she's saying words that making me fall for her again and again"

"Quit it, you have work tomorrow-"

"The night is still young, when morning comes, then it comes"

And that night, he hug me again and again. He was tellibg me that when Hina comes back, there would be a chance that she would insist to sleep together with us.
