Chapter 1 – The Other Woman

It was all over the news, the headlines, magazines, talk shows and even the internet.

The engagement of the heir and soon to be CEO of the Taisho Insurance Company Sesshoumarou Taisho to his girlfriend of almost seven years, Kagura Uchiha.

Kagura, who is the niece of the CEO of the Uchiha Finances; Fugaku Uchiha.

Everything was arranged since they were little.

Everyone was gossiping about it ever since the news broke out.

And of course, everyone was thinking how it would be beneficial for both multinational companies. They were already fussing about it, some are guessing the date of their wedding, the motif and how it would be saddening to not see Sesshoumaru in the pages of Konaha's Hottest Bachelors anymore.

Indeed, it was a Glorious day for everyone.

A glorious day like this one should be celebrated with a party, which they did.

It was a big party, with guests from all walks of life like celebrities, business partners, relatives and friends. Differences were set apart to celebrate it. The venue was in a grand and beautiful garden filled with guests either sitting in their tables of just hanging out to talk to the newly engaged couple. With Sesshoumaru in his exquisite white tuxedo, and his silver hair tied loosely at his back any man would stand no chance next to him. Especially if the woman next to him is simply gorgeous, who was adorned with a figure hugging scarlet gown and her hair were tied loosely to show off its lovely curls.

With all the laughs and cheers they were doing, they were oblivious to the looming dark figure outside the gates of said venue who was clutching the newspaper that has its front page headline all about the said engagement.

It was all over for her.

She was supposed to be that girl!

She was supposed to marry him!

She was supposed to have her happy ending not her!

With the newspaper still clutched in her hands, she silently walked away from the happy place but without a last glance at the soon to be groom, Sesshoumaru.

Despite the busy atmosphere of the streets, to her it felt like she was all alone walking aimlessly. She didn't care about the people beside, behind or even in front of her.

The night skies seems to have mourned with her as it poured its rain with everything it's got, shielding her from the prying eyes of the people around her. As everyone started to run for shelter and open their umbrellas she was still walking aimlessly.

Looking up to the dark cloudy sky, she can't help but ask and blame it for what's happening in her life right now.

Her dull eyes glanced at the street in front of her, once again walking not knowing what lies in front of her. Her mind was full of memories of him.

Looking at the couple sharing and hugging inside the small umbrella, it made her smile a bit. Even though he wasn't as sweet as the usual couple, he had his own way of showing his love to her with simple gestures of picking her up after her work, taking her out to dinner, or even something as simple as holding her hand. To her, it felt like she was the luckiest person alive. He was different from other guys, because he usually keeps to himself and would only be persuaded by her. They were about to hit the five year mark when things started to get hazy. It started after Sesshoumaru's 25th birthday party, it was also the time when his father decided to hand over their company to him. Things became hectic then, and they rarely see each other or do stuff together.

They were already having a hard time seeing each other because of their situation. Things didn't need to get worse for her.

Because of their social standing, they had to hide their relationship from everyone. Everyone as in his father, step-mother, step-brother and even from his own mother who he knew would oppose to it greatly if she found out about it.

And then he told her about his father's condition; the one that says that he should marry Kagura in order to gain full control of their company.

Her heart was shattered into a million pieces.

She thought that as long as they have each other, they wouldn't care about what other people say or what their social standings are. They have been together for such a long time, she was confident that Sesshoumaru would fight for her. That he would stand up to his family for her like what she usually sees in movies. It was about time he stood up for her after years of hiding right?

But the moment she saw the hesitation and sadness in his eyes she knew.

She knew that it was time to end it.

She knew that he has made his choice.

And so she left, even though it hurts her more than anything else.

A few months later, she saw him again. At a restaurant they used to go on dates, and surprisingly he was alone.

As usual he did everything so smoothly, with the way he ordered and talked to the waiters. Everything was just as how she remembered him to be.

"As long as my father is alive, I can't break up with Kagura but we can still see each other secretly like we used to and-"

"Stop," she then stood up.

"All I'm asking is for you to wait for me. Or if not then we can still see each other behind-"

Upon hearing those words she snapped.

Unconsciously gripping the table cloth she hissed as she said, "No Sesshoumaru. I've already endured five years of hiding from Kagura and everyone else so-"

"Would a few more years be any different?"

"Of course it would!"

She paused, "I've had enough of fooling around Sesshoumaru, I don't want to be the other woman anymore."

"And it will happen, after I've gotten hold of my father's com-"

"No, you can only choose one. It's me or you company, but…" she stopped, remembering the look on his eyes that day.

He just looked at her waiting for her to go one.

"…when I saw the look in your eyes that day, I already knew."

There was a long pause.

"I'm finished here," she finally said, breaking the awkward silence.

But he grabbed her wrist, looked her in the eye and asked. "Do you still love me?"

She looked at him with cold eyes and answered his question with confidence and a smirk. "What a stupid question,"

"Just answer it," he insisted.

"No I don't love you anymore."

Knowing that it would finally end things between them, she said it. She said it, the biggest lie of her life.

Snatching her wrist back, she walked out of the glass door of the restaurant with confidence. Neither did she spare a glance at his ex-lover.

Of course, she knew in her heart that they are not compatible. Nothing would come out of their relationship she knew. He was not willing to let go of either her or his company so in the end and for everyone's sake she chose to let go.

But deep inside, she one again looked up at the sky, wishing that somehow things will turn out differently and all her sufferings will come to and end.

Her once glowing sapphire eyes now turned dull and lifeless as it looked further into oblivion.

She was so entranced by it that she didn't see the blinding white light that was coming her way.

Perhaps her prayers were answered in a way.
