Ai's Pov

I had fully changed into my maid uniform and walked out the bathroom door to find a middle-aged lady in our room.

"You must be Ai." The lady spoke. I nodded, "Yes.."

She walked closer to me keeping a stoic expression, "You are going to be Suki's personal maid. Listen to whatever she says and do what she asks. Do not disrespect her or you will face major consequences."

"Suki's maid..?" She nodded.

I can't believe this.. Why her?!

"Suki is in her bedroom right now. Go and greet her properly." I nodded with a grim expression on my face.

I walked out of my room and headed towards Suki's bedroom. The hallways were labeled, so I knew where I was going. "You have to be kidding me.." I mumbled.

I was now in front of Suki's bedroom. I knocked on the door two times. "Come in." She said.

I slowly opened the door and saw Suki. She was now much more mature. Her hairstyle was the same. She was wearing a tight black dress that went above her knees and was wearing a pearl necklace. Her makeup was neatly done with a tint of red lipstick. She was..pretty.

Our eyes made contact and I could see the fiery inside of hers. "Ai.." She said and glared at me. I shut the door behind me and walked over to her. "Suki." I said.

There was like electricity coming from our eyes. We definitely hated each other. "Care to tell me why the hell you are here?!" She spitted out some anger inside of her.

"I didn't decide to come back, it was Seijuro who made me come back."

"I can't believe this.." She laughed sarcastically.

Her head turned sharply at me, "You better not do anything to mess up this wedding, bitch!"

I gasped and held a hand on my chest acting like I had gotten hurt, "No promises." I smiled.

She glared at me again and let out a shout of anger, "You fucking bitch!" She decided to lunge at me, but I dodged it just in time. "Learn some fucking manners. You aren't all what you look that's a fact." I laughed sarcastically.

"UGH!" She stormed out of her bedroom.

"Geez, what's her problem.." I rolled my eyes and walked out of her bedroom.

I folded my arms and walked down the hall. Many maids and butlers who were working in the hallway were looking at me strangely. I shrugged it off and kept walking down the hallway.

"Ai." I heard the head maid call me out. I turned around, "Yes?"

"Since Akashi-san's maid is sick at the moment, we need someone to clean his room. Go clean his room right now." I nodded and proceeded to Akashi's bedroom.

I had finally reached Akashi's bedroom door. I was about to knock, but then I was hearing talking behind the door.

"Seijuro.. I have something to tell you.."

"What is it? I'm busy."

It sounded like Akashi and Suki's voice. What did she want to tell him?

"I-I'm pregnant.."

My eyes widened in horror.

They went that far..

There was silence in the room. "What the hell are you talking about?" Akashi's voice rose suddenly. "We never even done anything like that! Stop with your nonsense and get out of this room!"

"But Seijuro! It did happen! You were drunk.." Her voice suddenly broke down.

There was silence once again.

There was a loud slam as if someone had hit their hand on a table. "GOD DAMMIT!" Akashi yelled very loud which startled me.

I didn't know how to feel.

If Suki is pregnant and they are both getting married, I shouldn't get in their way.. I needed to move on before I get even more hurt. There was a pang of pain that hit my chest. It really hurt. I couldn't bare it any longer.

I walked away from the door blinking back my tears. I decided to go to the garden to clear my mind. My mind was so hazy at the moment.

I walked in the garden and saw all kinds of beautiful flowers. I sat on a bench outside and decided to let my tears fall.

I don't know what to do anymore...

"Mama!"

I looked up and saw Shoichi smiling at me oblivious to everything. He was wearing much fancier clothes than what he usually wears. He was with the head maid. I quickly wiped my tears away.

"Did you clean Akashi-san's room?" The head maid asked.

"I'm sorry, but no. Akashi-san was talking to someone in there at the moment, so I couldn't come in. I'll go and clean his room right now." I bowed.

"Mama, play with me!" Shoichi beamed.

I crouched down to Shoichi's level and gave him a painful smile, "Shoichi, mama can't play right now. Be a good boy to everyone, okay?" Shoichi pouted and nodded sadly. I kissed him on the cheek and said goodbye. I headed back to Akashi's bedroom.

I was once again outside his bedroom. It was dead silent inside there. As much as I didn't want to go in there, I had to.

I knocked on the door a couple of times, but there was no answer. Akashi was probably not inside the room anymore, so I opened the door.

My eyes widened, because Akashi was present looking out the grand windows inside his bedroom. I closed the door silently and it made that click sound. Akashi turned around.

"Ai.." He words were painful. They were like thorns on a rose.

"I'm here to clean your room." I said and started to clean up his room. I was cleaning his desk, but I felt his arms snake around my waist. "Ai.." His voice brushed against my ear. It hurt me so much.

I took his arms off of my waist and turned around, "Sei.. Please don't.." I said while looking to the side. I didn't dare to look at him straight in the eye.

His hand gripped my chin, making me look at him. His eyes were so pitiful. "Why, Ai?" I didn't know how to answer, so I remained silent.

"Tell me!" He demanded.

A single tear dropped from my eye and fell onto his hand which was gripping my chin. With that, he released me from his grip. "I'm so sorry... I'm so fucking sorry..." He held me in his arms. More tears fell.

I pulled myself away from his embrace and held onto his shoulders. I looked at him with tears in my eyes, "Forget about me, Seijuro. Go to her, she needs you too. I overheard your conversation with her.. Don't worry about me and just go.. Me and Shoichi will be fine.." I smiled as more tears fell.

I finally let go of him and wiped my tears away and took a deep breath. I looked at him, "Well I should go, Akashi-san. From today and on, we have no relations together. Goodbye." Without waiting for a response, I turned around and walked out the door while slamming the door shut.

Remain strong, Ai...

More tears fell washing away my pain.
