~~Start~~

Kiyotaka: Yes. I indeed asked for your hand, Suzune. Evrsince that time when you bumped into me at the hotel, but your father rejected me. I accepted that, Suzune, and did my advances on my own. That's what happened to us.

Suzune: So you are not the reason for our company's downfall...?

Kiyotaka: Suzune, I am the reason. However, it's not me who started it.

Kiyotaka's eyes became deadly, and so did the air around him.

Kiyotaka: Your father was too prideful to admit his mistake. He was too arrogant and tried to frame me. I let him live because of you. Only because of you. But, everyone knew of what he did. It was not my fault that no one wanted to get to my bad side, and so... The consequences got to him.

Suzune was now linking everything up.

Suzune: And that's when the company started falling down... I- You.. just... how much power do you have...?

Kiyotaka: More than what you can imagine, darling. I know you are putting every piece together, so let me continue. Your father could not let the company fall down. That's when Ishigami offered a marriage proposal in exchange for a hundred million dollars, and of course, fame. Your father agreed.

Suzune: But... why would he accept Ishigami's proposal and not yours? If you are much more powerful than him...?

Kiyotaka: Because I did not offer anything in return. I simply asked for your hand, and that's it. If he would not allow me, then I would do it on my own without buying you. You are worth everything, and a few million dollars is nothing compared to you.

Suzune placed all the pieces of the puzzle, and she could not believe it. She had been nothing but a pawn in this game. Kiyotaka flicked his hand once more, and videos started playing on the massive tv. It only served more despair on Suzune. Despair, you may ask?

She went closer to her father with balled fists. She almost hated Kiyotaka for being the cause of her dilemma, but as it turns out. Everything was just her father and Ishigami's plan.

Suzune: Was I just an object to you? Did you ever treat me like your own daughter? Why? I did everything! Every single one of your commands, wishes, everything! I stopped having friends because I focused on school! I did martial arts even when I could not handle the training! I entered ANHS! I agreed to date people who I did not even know! I set my life aside just for you, and you do not even love me one bit!? Is it so hard to love me?

Mr. Horikita: You do not scream at me like that, you little!

Even before her father's hand hit her. Kiyotaka shielded her and in just a blink. Guns were pointed at both Ishigami and her father, while Ishigami's bodyguards pointed their guns at them.

Kiyotaka: You are not putting your dirty hands at her.

Both of them were about to retaliate but stopped. Even Ishigami's bodyguards put their guns down because if looks could kill, then they would all have been dead already. Kiyotaka was standing and holding the arm of her father. His eyes were dark. Almost black, like the abyss that would pull you in if you made a wrong move. Kiyotaka threw her father's arm, and he stumbled backward.

Kiyotaka: Suzune. Back down. You will not get involved in this.

Suzune was confused but obliged. He went back to his seat and went to spread his legs like his pose earlier. The bartender handed him liquor, and a bodyguard handed him a gun. He turned to look at the duo in front.
