The following day, I went to collect my items from the house. I did not have enough money to rent a hotel, as a result, I had to stay over at my friend's apartment. End up telling her everything that happened. She just told me, take my time until I get enough money to buy myself an apartment.
(Seto)
I was in the house about a week since the issue. I lay on the sofa in the living room, watching some television program. I flip the channel when Noah walks in. "Well, is this what we have gotten too?" I looked at him, notice he was holding a suitcase.
"What do you want?"
"I have to admit this whole story was one hell of a ride."
I looked at the television. "I quit."
"What?" Noah says confuse.
"I can't find love. You win." I looked at him.
"Wow, you look, one in your whole life, unsuccessful. You did trick me for a while with Serenity until she has gotten into that horrible car accident." Noah looks to the side. "It wasn't for you and that stupid contract, Serenity wouldn't have gotten hurt."
'I know it was my fault,' with a defeated look as I look down.
"You feel guilty, you just wanted the company from me. You hurt Serenity and no one else did." I couldn't talk to him, knowing damn well. I have lost everything, even Serenity since we haven't talked in days. "I know what makes you feel better. I am willing to give it to you." He opens the case and shows me the document. "Just sign it before I regret it."
I saw the company that I always wanted in front of me. I grab the pen that was next to the contract. I looked at Noah, saying to him. "Is this what you truly want?"
"It will only show that you are always met to be alone and nothing more, not even Serenity could have saved you from this one." I signed it without hesitation this what I always wanted, right? Yet, he makes me feel bad about Serenity instead of being alone. "Good, now from this day. You are the boss of the company." He stands up as he puts it away. "I will give it to you when you recover until then no one knows as it yet."
It was the afternoon when I called Serenity. She answered. "Seto."
"Serenity, I know I should be seeing you in person, but this is the end of us. Do me a favor and find someone that would be your real boyfriend. I will be sending half of the money tomorrow."
"Why..."
"It's not you. It's me. Goodbye Serenity." I hang up on Serenity. Somehow it hurt me. 'Everything we went through for this company.'
(December)
A month later, we went to court to go against Serenity's mother. I saw her for the first time. Serenity looks very upset, seeing her cry pains me even more. 'I'm sorry, Serenity, that you went through so much pain because of me.' I looked away to look at Lucky speaking about her past up to know.
(July)
Two years later, I was doing just fine on my own when someone enters the office. "Kaiba-boy."
"Pegasus, what are you doing here?"
"I happened to be around. So, I wanted to deliver an invitation. You know, for a party." He has it in his left hand as he walks up to me leaving the letter on my desk. "I hope you are able to come. Trust me, I don't want a party without you."
I grab the letter. "Fine, I'll go."
Pegasus smiles. "I am glad. See you in a week."
A week past, Noah and I got ready to go. Mokuba left for a night study with some friends. I went to his party with Noah. "What will Pegasus's party, be about this time? I swear he never tells anyone until he shows us at the party."
I still remember when Serenity and I shared our kiss at one of his parties. I wonder how she is, it's been a long while. I bet she won't show up. After all, I bet she doesn't want to see me. I play with my lips.
It's been fourteen minutes into the party, nothing new has happened. A woman with blonde hair and blue eyes walks up to me. "Is this seat taken?"
"No." I would care less about her, but something about her was off. She smiles and says. "I want to dance for a while. How about it?"
"Find someone else?"
"What is there to lose?" She stands up and grabs my hands as she pulls me to the dance floor. I had no choice, but to dance with her. She giggles as she holds onto me in a slow dance. "You know, what would be better with this dance?"
"What is that?"
She pulls away and kisses my lower lip, pulls away and started to run when I chased her. I chased her all the way down to a bench near a lake. "There's nowhere to run. Tell me who are you?"
She turns around and says. "It's been too long without you." Her expression changes. "I know that you don't remember me, Seto."
"Serenity?" Serenity went to hug me, "I miss you. I couldn't move on. I know I am in the wrong, right now and this isn't the time nor the place, I couldn't help it." Serenity looks up to me. "I love you. I don't know when I would get the other chance to say it to you."
Without thinking, I have kissed her right on the spot. I pulled away to find her blushing. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I hurt you."
She shook her head. "It wasn't your fault." She hugs me again and this time I hug her tightly.
"Let's talk about this tomorrow."
"I want to go with you right now if that's okay with you." She says.
I smirk. "Why is that?"
She blushes and looks to the side. "Gosh, you seem like I am into you right now.'
I had to tease, "but you are."
"Whatever. Let's go now." She holds my hands.
"Fine even if it means that I have to leave Noah behind."
"Who cares, he is the one that made this all happen in the first place. Come on, now. We need time for ourselves." I grin as we headed back to the car.
…
Once back at the house, we were in the living room and the whole house to ourselves. She took off her wig and eye contact. "Thanks for allowing me to come."
"I did have another option, you preferred this." I said with a smirk.
"You have never changed," She grabs her purse. "Remember this." She pulls out envelop as she gave it to me. I opened it and it was the money that I gave her, two years ago. I looked up to see her with a smile on her lips. "I haven't used it. In fact, I wanted to return it. I might admit that I did the whole contract for the money until I have gotten to see the real side of you that's why I am here with you now. I love you, Seto. I love the real you, not for the money nor the company. I guess you changed my mind." I looked to the side thinking about the whole story between us. Serenity grabs my face that force me look at her. "You are so hard headed, Seto. Don't ever think that I am still in for the money. I have really have fallen in love with you." Serenity kisses my forehead making me blush.
Serenity took a seat by my side. "Didn't I told you to get a real boyfriend?"
"You got me mad and upset when you said that to me, I should get a real boyfriend, but I was waiting for you to ask me for too long, I'm still waiting for you." She looks down with a sad look.
Serenity managed to get me to smile a little. "Waiting for me to tell you?" I laughed at what she just said.
"Come on, Seto. Be serious."
I smiled for the first time saying, "I am serious. I think it's cute that you were waiting for me."
She blushes as she looks away. I grab her chin, forcing her to look at me. "Don't be shy." I kissed her lips. She kissed me back this time. I pulled away. "What should we say to my family and to your brother?"
Serenity smiles. "Let's be for real this time around, Seto."
I kissed her forehead as I pulled her into a hug. "Come on, I'll take you home."
"Thank you, Seto."
I have been dating Serenity behind the back from everyone for 10 months. Serenity made Joey come over to my house and the family over for dinner.
When things calm down, Serenity and I publish our relationship to them.
Joey stands up. "Where is the contract?"
"What contract, Joey?" Serenity grabs my hand. "Yes, I admitt it was for the money in the beginning, but as the story goes, I found the good side of Seto that I would have missed without the whole contract because of that contract and the whole thing about the company. I finally realize that I have fallen in love with him for him and the money in that contract, I return it back to him. It took almost 2 years, but finally did it. I enjoy my time and life with Seto. It's fun and strange, but we can make this relationship work." Serenity holds my other hand. "I would never change my life or anything in the past because it took me to find you. You found me."
I smiled in front of Noah, Mokuba, and Joey for the first time because of what Serenity has said, it's like looking at the rain in front of my office as the last rain drops and until the rain stops when the clouds pass to reveal a sun smiling back at us, so we won't be blinded anymore in what is in front of us. "Serenity, I got another announcement to make." I had this announcement for a long while in the back of my mind and not only that for all this past month being with her. I let go of her hands as I kneel down to get out a box and propose to her. "Serenity, I love you and I want to be with you for a long time. Would you be my wife?"
Serenity jumps as she says, "Yes, of course, I'll be your wife."
"EH!" Everyone was just shocked and confused. I gave her the ring as I stand up, putting my arm around her shoulder. "I won't leave Serenity for anyone. I love her with all my heart."
NOTE: 5/17/2019 I hope everyone likes it. It's okay if you did not. This is the end of this story. To be honest, when I wrote this, I had no clue what was the next chapter and it took me months to write to put this together. I felt more like the reader than the writer. When I put Lucky, I was like, 'why Serenity hates her for?' I did not add much drama of Serenity's father and her whole side of the story because it was mainly Seto's point of view which I tried my hardest to put and besides the main events is Seto getting the company.
Another NOTE: (1.30.2020 I have changed the whole story line just a little, so anyone wants to read it again. I have changed the end as well.)
