I met with Daisuke since my father had been 'generous' enough to give me back my freedom without having any escorts and such, his 'gift' since I'd be leaving the country soon. However, I had just come from seeing Leonard.
As I waited for Daisuke in his office at the bar, I couldn't help but think back to my conversation with Leonard. Our bittersweet goodbye...
~
"(Y/N) I heard about your father sending you to Europe and our wedding date. I wanted to ask you what you've thought of my proposal." He kindly spoke to me.
It hurts alright, throughout all this time I've realized he's developed some kind of affection for me. Even so, my feels are strong and sure. I love Dabi and I can't see myself marrying someone that isn't him. I gradually tell Leonard I can't accept his offer.
"I know you mean well to help me but it's not fair for you." I started telling him. "You deserve someone that loves you as much as you love them."
He smiled though his eyes wavered with sadness, "I assume your heart has an owner already?"
I bashfully nodded. "It's not just that but, I can't tie you to a family like mine."
"Why say that? Are the rumors really true?" he asked piquing my interest.
"What rumors?"
"Tell me first, what do you mean by a family like yours?"
"My father as you know is an abusive man, not a good hero as his image in public portrays him to be. He's not worth mixing in with your family who are good heroes and have a great reputation." I explained.
"I see..." he looked pensive.
My eyebrows furrowed, "That's what I meant.... but you didn't huh. Why don't you tell me what rumors you're speaking about?"
He took a deep breath after sipping his tea. "I'm really sorry to be the one to say this."
"No need for apologies, just be honest with me." I told him.
He nodded, "Very well, well those things said about your father they were only to be rumors I didn't want to believe however, now that you tell me he's not the hero people think he is, I have my doubts. Those rumors may be true to some extent." He sighed again. "Rumor has it your father and grandfather belong in a shady line of business."
"Hold on... what?"
"Please hear me out, according to some business folks it's been rumored that your father has other businesses... He's been spotted in different warehouses located all over Japan with other businessmen with a not-so good reputation."
I sighed crossing my arms. "Is that so... Honestly I didn't know any of that. But do you think he might be smuggling something? Or could it..."
"Could it what?"
I shook my head, no I doubt it's drugs. It can't be drugs..."I'm sorry, it's just a little hard to process but it's undeniable true that he's not a good person. My father is a monster. I wouldn't be surprised if he did illicit transactions."
"I'm sorry (Y/N), I really am. I wish I could do something to help you. But that's all I know. I don't really listen much to rumors. It's in bad taste." He continued to speak.
Just then I got an idea. I looked into his eyes with a serious expression, I realized what I needed to do, what I could do in order to escape my dad's overcontrolling claws he has on me.
