Chapter 3 - The meeting

After the meeting with my parents, it was decided I will meet Kaito Azula on a Saturday evening at Sylvia's Sky restaurant. An elegant Italian restaurant situated on the open balcony of a skyscraper. I can applaud my parents for learning how to enjoy life as part of the upper class so quickly once I amassed my wealth and shared it with them. Now they have more money than needed for their lives so they have returned to pushing me around it seems.

I went over to my golden mirror and vanity set as I sorted through my dozens of rose gold makeup brushes, finding the perfect set for tonight. I made sure to look stunning even if I'm being blackmailed into this marriage. I powdered my face and then I settled on light red lips with light pastel purple and black eyeliner to highlight my emerald green eyes. I styled my hair with a blue ribbon down my back, elegantly tied keeping just enough down for a sexy look.

I got up and moved across my expansive bedroom over to my closet. I tapped on the side computer panel to allow the doors to open for me as I reached towards my left side where I hung up all of my dresses and pulled out a flattering dark blue with hints of violet. It was form-fitting and matched perfectly with my black diamond heels. With a final look in the mirror, I nodded as I called my driver to take me to the restaurant. I rarely use the driver anymore because I need the exercise on my way to work usually or else I won't do it, but a ride is a necessity for glamor.

As I stepped outside I was greeted by my driver Ren. He stepped out of my black luxury sports car and opened the back door for me. I walked towards the car and saw him put on his best service smile. I could see worry in his eyes as I remembered he has a family to feed and he is always somewhat anxious about them. He knows I pay higher than the average driver. I could see his worry lines with his chestnut brown hair slightly unkempt as he smoothed out his face to be more professional. I smiled at him and sat silently in the car.

While on the way to the restaurant, I stared out into the city as I pondered to myself his name. A soft "Kaito~" escaped my lips as I thought about what kind of person he would be. I do not know how I ended up with parents who would put me in such an uncomfortable situation as I sighed to myself. I will make it clear to this person tonight that our future marriage will not be one of love but of some sort of mutual benefit. However, no matter how hard I tried to my mind around it, why would this person marry me when he doesn't truly know me? He must have known me from magazines but even then, if he is already successful it cannot be for money.

We finally arrived in front of the restaurant and the car pulled to a soft stop. Driver Ren stepped out and opened the door for me as I felt the chill of the evening air against my skin. I looked up at the beautiful glimmering blue building and went inside towards the elevator that took me up directly to the VIP lounge. The carpet was a deep red color with many beautiful paintings of Italy hand-painted on the walls. The soft Italian music and the smell of pasta filled the air. It was deeply romantic as I made my way across the room, seeing a few glances and whispers of those who recognized me.

As I walked on I saw a smug face I knew was Kaito Azula. He dressed in a nice suit, perfectly tailored to his tall and lean body. His eyes were hazel while his skin was slightly tan to perfection. His hair was perfectly styled with a hint of dark waves. He was no doubt handsome, but the smugness of his face made me question his motives for me further than before. He stood up and motioned me to sit across from him, pulling out a chair for me. I sat down silently and avoided his gaze.

"Nice you meet you, Dr. Kira, my fiance," he said with a smooth voice as I felt myself blush at his boldness.
