Grandmother Kamyama is relieved to find out that Chisa's father hasn't found out about Kiyohira's sudden marriage. The news is not out yet. But, she knows that she has to tell them. As politely as she could, she cancels the engagement saying that her grandson has different opinions. Chisa's father is miffed. Grandmother Kamiyama apologizes genuinely.
"What did you say?" Chisa slams the teacup on the table. "Kamiyama family did what?"
"They canceled the engagement." Her father tells her bitterly, "It's not a surprise. It's been two years. He didn't make a single move toward you. You failed to seduce him."
Chisa clenches her jaw. She gets up and walks away from her fuming father. Her mind is full of thoughts. Why did they cancel the engagement suddenly? That old woman has been worried about her grandson's love for Rie who is already dead. It's true that Chisa didn't try to seduce Kiyohira. That's because Kiyohira isn't the type of man who would get seduced by her. She has been trying to make him fall for her. Since he fell in love with her toy, it's only natural that she would also want his love. Nothing less!
She receives a call from Morikawa.
Morikawa: "I found out who she is."
Chisa: "I don't have time to know about a clown."
Morikawa: "Hashimoto San, Takeuchi Rie didn't die two years ago."
Chisa: "What did you say?"
Morikawa: "The gamer is Rie. Two years ago, she lost her memories. They faked her death. She came back to T city after receiving the invitation to play. I think that Kamiyama Kiyohira was the one who faked her death. That's why he asked us to leave right away yesterday. I heard that she lost consciousness in his office. I went to the hospital. She is already released. I have sent the rest of the information in the mail."
Chisa: "She doesn't have memories. That must be the reason why she didn't recognize me. Kiyohira doesn't know about me and her yet?"
Morikawa: "He tried to dig everywhere. He didn't find anything. It's been taken care of. If Umezaki Rie doesn't recover her memories and speak, we wouldn't have any problem."
Chisa: "She won't say my name if she remembers. Even if she says it, there is no evidence that it's me. I will silence her forever. This time, I will wait until her tenacious heart stops."
That broken toy of her should have died that night. How dare she keeps breathing? For two years, Chisa has been in dark.
That must be the reason why Kiyohira didn't take a glance at her once. Then, why did he break the engagement now?
***
Kiyohira eyes his brother and his wife darkly. They are joking and laughing while playing the damn game. She has never laughed like that with him. How come his brother is better than him?
He pulls the wire. The screen turns black. They look at him with sour faces.
Takeshi: "Why did you do that?"
Rie: "You ruined the game."
Takeshi: "He doesn't know how to play. Sister-in-law, you married a wrong man."
Rie: "I will just divorce him if he does it one more time."
Takeshi: "You should do that. I will introduce to better men after you get the divorce."
They only got married his morning. This woman is already talking about divorce. His younger brother is supporting it and even telling her that he will introduce her to better men. Kiyohira gnashes his teeth and breaks the gaming console.
Both Rie's and Takeshi's hearts are broken when they hear that sound.
Rie holds her head dramatically. "I regret it. I want a divorce."
Kiyohira feels like it's been kicked whenever she utters 'divorce'.
Takeshi rolls his eyes at his jealous brother. "You are an idiot, bro. It hasn't been 24 hours since you got married. She's already asking for a divorce."
He walks out casually to leave the newly-wed have their first fight.
"Woman, am I a refrigerator that you can return anytime?" Kiyohira asks her quietly. "It's just a gaming console. Takeshi has too many."
She fists her hand and glares at him. He gives in. She's the wife.
"Fine." He puts away the broken gaming console. "I will behave. But, don't play with that fox again."
She crosses her arms. "Why can't I play with him?"
"Play with me instead."
"Why would I play with a noob?"
"You were also a noob once."
"No, I was born a genius," She tells him proudly.
Kiyohira pecks her lips. "Yes, you are a genius."
Surprised, she takes ten steps backward. "What the hell! You told me that you won't do it with me unless I also love you."
"I did say that." He smirks at her. "I won't do 'it', but I never said that I won't do other things."
She opens her mouth, but no words would come out. Her bewildered expression is cute.
"You must be hungry." He puts his hand on her back and pushes her out of the room with him. "It's time for lunch."
"This is..."
Grandmother Kamiyama can't believe what she is seeing. The scent of food wafts into her nose. She blushes when her stomach grumble. At her age, it is not suitable. Even Takeshi and the servants aren't spared. There are 40 palatable dishes on the table - the most popular dish from each country. Each dish looks like it has been prepared by the top chef of the country. The dressing is detailed and perfect that one doesn't want to ruin it by picking it.
Are they celebrating someone's birthday?
"Who made this?" It takes all the strength in her old body not to pick up the spoon and taste those dishes.
"Grandma, Elder brother made it for my sister-in-law," Takeshi answers her with a light voice.
Grandmother Kamiyama narrows her eyes unhappily. "Has he gone insane?"
They say that the way to win a man's heart is through his stomach. His wife should be the one cooking delicious meals to win over him and his family.
She recalls how Rie used to order takeouts when she stayed at the mansion for a short time. It means the girl can't even cook. She dislikes Rie more. They have been only married for a few hours and she's is turning her grandson into a slave.
Not matched in looks, education, background, or even temper, that girl is not right for her grandson or suitable for the role of the next madam of Kamiyama family. She caused enough troubles before she faked her death.
At least, Kamiyama Hitomi was poised, smart, and knew how to manage the household. That woman knew how to take the role of the woman and Except for her lower background and the scandal that she caused, Grandmother Kamiyama has been quite satisfied with Kamiyama Hitomi's performance. Kamiyama Hitomi knew how to charm the socialites of the high-class society and contribute to the Kamiyama family while Rie has no such talent. In her eyes, Rie is useless and inappropriate for her grandson and the Kamiyama family in every way.
On the other hand, Rie has only caused damage to Kamiyama family.
Hashimoto Chisa is better than Rie in every way. She's highly educated. She has a ladylike bearing. She has a high status among the socialites. She is quite skilled. In the last two years, she has been working as the director in Kiyohira's new gaming company while taking care of the H groups with her father. In the future, she might even inherit the H Groups. She visits her all the time. She is smart, cheerful, and matched with her grandson. A woman like her can bring out the best in Kiyohira while a woman like Rie can pull him down to her level.
The marriage isn't revealed to the public yet. She will make sure that that unruly girl leaves her grandson on her own. Only Hashimoto Chisa has what it takes to become the next madam of the Kamiyama Family.
She has been patient enough with Kiyohira. If he won't listen, then she will force the girl.
"He won't mind if I take a taste, right?" Takeshi mumbles to himself and picks up the chopsticks. He moves toward the plate of Takiyoki. At the same time, Kiyohira and Rie are climbing down the stairs. When Kiyohira sees his little brother attempting to steal the dish that he made for his Rie, his face contorts in anger.
"Takeshi." Kiyohira's voice is dangerously low and cold. Rie jolts in fear. Her shoulders tense up. It seems her body reacts naturally. She doesn't know where this fear comes from. The haunting memories return in her mind. His cold tone reminds her of Chisa. She is furious at herself for being afraid. What's she scared of? There is nothing to be scared of. It's only Kiyohira.
He notices her tremble and eases his expression instantly. He also wonders why she is afraid of him. He will ask her later.
Takeshi freezes on the spot. He feels an intense gaze on him. Should he pick it up or not? He knows how his brother gets when he is angry at him. Most of the time, his brother lets him have his way. But, there are times when Takeshi regrets pushing him far. He calculates in his mind. His brother never cooks for him or Grandma. The dishes are prepared for his sister-in-law only. But, she can't eat everything. He can eat one, right?
While he has been calculating his chances of survival, Kiyohira has walked to the table. He grabs his little brother's wrist. This time, his voice is neither angry nor gentle. "Have you forgotten your manners?"
Rie knows little about what's going on. She purses her lips when she sees the food on the table. Why make so much? Four people can't eat that much. They were not this extravagant last time she sat on this table. Is this Kiyohira showing off to her because she said that she married him for his money?
She frowns deeply. Did he really take her seriously? Does this man really love her? How can he not understand her if he loves her? She did say that she married him for his money. She didn't mean it though. She married him because she didn't want him to marry Chisa. She gets that he doesn't know her true reason. Her true reason for marrying him isn't any better than marrying him for his money. But, he doesn't have to show off his wealth.
Her mood becomes foul.
Screw him! How dare he thinks of her as a gold digger? If he loves her, he should know that she isn't one. He can't even guess that. This man doesn't love her at all. He only loves her body. He only married her because he wants to screw her. There is no way a man can fall in love with a crazy and mentally unstable woman who lived like a hikikomori.
She understands now. It's only about lust. There is nothing else.
