"Get everything out of here and move it to the villa," Kyosuke ordered people around and instructed them what to do until the apartment was emptied.
Kotori carried a few things herself to the mover truck.
"I can't believe that he actually agreed."
She put the last bit of her belongings then climbed into the vehicle with Kyosuke.
"Thank you, Mr. Nakamaru I'm forever indebted to you I appreciate it so much." She says with gratitude.
He chucked slightly and said," Don't worry about it."
The ride there was the slightest longer than expected. As they approached a tall gate it opened.
Her eyes sparkled at the building in her sight.
When they walked out of the car the servants greeted them." Welcome home, Madam and Young Master."
"Uh hello miss." She looked at them and addressed all of them individually.
Kyosuke interrupted and took her hand," You don't need to speak to them."
"But why? —I was taught to respect those around me." She questioned.
When he was about to give her an answer she took off.
He watched her explore the villa and found her expression adorable. —It took seven years to build. The owner went above and beyond in designing the place. It's filled with futuristic technology that can control the lighting, music, and temperature. And there's an artificial stream in the kitchen, four bedrooms, one master room, a study, and a break room for servants.
"This place is massive—I can raise my children then their children and their children after that" Her eyes lit up like fireworks. She's amazed at the size of this building and the fancy furniture. Despite everything, deep down she was homesick.
'This is my home and I can't wait to move in brother—He deserves this place as much as me'
She unpacked her belongings in one of the bedrooms.
"Someday, we will meet again." She put the picture frame on her family on the dresser.
It's the day for her brother's release. She was given a ride to the hospital to share the news with him
She spoke nervously," I haven't been completely honest about my living situation."
"Who are these people behind you, Kotori?" Hideaki questioned.
She took a deep breath," Well… I got married and this man will provide a better life for us. It's a temporary solution to erase the debt." She confessed and whispered into his ear as she pushed the wheelchair – She didn't want to draw any attention or let the public hear the conversation by any chance.
" You sure this decision will make you happy not marrying for love?" He asked then his eyes widen when the two pulled up to the villa." Never mind, scratch that!"
That question bothered her for some reason. She helped her brother out of her car and into the wheelchair then a man approach both.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm the son from the Nakamaru group." Kyosuke introduce himself and wanted the guest to feel welcomed." Kotori told me so much about you… I'm sorry to hear that you were in an accident, do you remember the person's face that did this to you?"
"No, but it's a miracle that I survived whoever left me to die…" Hideaki took a breath to calm himself down and try not to feel defeated." I'm just grateful to live another day even though it left me paralyzed from the waist down—I will make something out of this life of mine."
"Let me show you around." She insisted and the two explore the building together. She applied to be her brother's care provider and around-the-clock nurse. To feed, bathe and clothe him.
Hideaki raised his arms up as Kotori helped put on his pajamas," Does it bother you that you must take care of me? I wish I didn't cross that stupid street
" I never gave it a second thought—I'm glad that you're around." She used all her strength to put him in the bed then fixed his legs as she covered his chest with the sheets." I even bought you a gift."
He unravels the box of a brand-new tablet and the newest phone," How could you afford this! --- I approve of this husband of yours."
She waited a long time for the two to be reunited like this. It reminded her of when they were younger.
" I should tell him that it's from working all those long hours but what's the harm in a white lie when he's this happy." She thought.
"Isn't he the best?" She says cheerfully and didn't want her brother to know the sole reason for the marriage was to pay for the hospital bills." I'm off to bed, okay—Goodnight."
" Night sis… and thank you."

In the study
Kyosuke called his assistant and prop his feet on the desk while reading through the document," He doesn't remember a thing."
