Chapter 1

The Meaning of Home

Erina Nakiri, Totsuki's current Chairwoman and Queen of the Nakiri culinary empire, currently lounged in her mansion's balcony enjoying her rest day from – a – long – tiring week with all her packed schedules, reading articles of her business and Academy, only to find showbiz gossip of her regarding her recent divorce to one of the highest culinary icon who had been named the best and greatest chef in the world, owning multiple restaurants all over the globe awarded with Michelin stars.

Reading few articles about it she just shrugged it off knowing she has nothing to do with that man anymore after his constant abandonment whenever she needs him, with his repeated reasons of his work and overseas traveling business.

"Erina-sama" Hisako her long time bestfriend and secretary called for her, "You will have a meeting with the Sistina Winery on Monday, Lady Siluca, Sir Theo's wife will meet you" she informed.

"Just add it on the memo, and inform me where we should meet" she nodded in confirmation.

Hisako noticed the article where her bestfriend's ex-husband is appearing on her computer, "Erina, as a friend are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

"What do you mean?" Erina confused.

"I know you love Soma-kun so much, but why didn't you give him a chance? He was begging for you" she told.

"He's a huge asshole and an idiot, didn't he know I needed him the most? I don't care about his business and his achievements, I care for him, whenever he goes home he's sick and I needed to care for him, we don't have time to be with each other, and whenever he's better as if his crew knew he's fine and would call for emergency! I have my needs for him as well, not as wife but as Erina, he knows it" she looked saddened by the thought.

"I just don't care if he's sick anymore" she growled and shut her computer off, "Besides, he might have found a new woman already, he has all the money in the world to level mine" and she walked out.

Erina that Monday went to meet Mrs. Cornaro, surprisingly she is young, same age as her, she revealed that she and her husband met in his Vineyards saving her from hooligans at that time, she did not need his help but he did it anyways, they bonded as friends, they became close as bestfriends and later on he harbored feelings and asked her for marriage, later she knew that he is the young Italian Lord who owns the Vineyards and farms that she is to be married to, "At first I was against it, I mean arrange marriage, I was sent to Italy to meet my future husband and despised the place because of the fact I was sent there against my will, however upon meeting Theo, he became my friend, I never nor he knows that we are betrothed, after getting to know him without thinking he's my future husband, his home became my home, I started loving him" the blonde smiled and bit her lip.

Erina watched her so in-love with her man which made her jealous, thinking about her own if she gave him a chance, "Now, after moving away from our home in Italy since his friend had asked him join for the silly show here in Japan, he agreed without telling me. So obviously we fought until to the point we almost got divorced until he asked me, what is home for me, at that time he asked me while we were in the court house during mediation" she giggled at the thought.

"I told him, home is where I know I can go back to, and he asked me, so where is home" she then pulled out her golden locket with her husband and he's tiny portrait, "Home is where he is, and he said he thinks the same, I'm his home, no matter where we move, as long as we had each other even far from each other we have that intention to go back to our home. There I realized that he thinks of me more than just a wife, but as his home" she smiled.

Erina felt a pang in her heart, for her she loved her ex so much that it hurts her, but realizing even far away Soma calls her constantly and reminds her he loves her, even when he was busy with his schedule he would sneak out and call her, even when he cooks at his restaurant kitchen he would video call her, he would never forget her birthday and would not fail to send her something she loves, but thinking he forgot their anniversary she was frustrated and it all triggered there, she wasn't thinking about the times he sent her something for her special days, but she blamed him for forgetting one, she felt bad for what she did.

After the meeting, the Cornaros became her supplier for her wine, their world class wines are number one on the winery market and demandable to all restaurants and liquor shops around the globe, Erina was lucky to have a hold of them, Erina took hold of her friendship with Siluca and would love to have tea with her sometime and talk more, but considering she's a busy woman she needs to tend to her students by the afternoon since she's one of the instructor of her Academy.

After her class she was in her office, while typing some things for her documents she paused a bit and sighed remembering what Lady Siluca had said, "Home" she mouthed, "If I had known what is a real home, I might have not ruined our lives" she thought, "I hope he's not sick… I hope he is fine" she thought, shaking her head to get the worried and sad thoughts, she opened her social media only to be bombarded by a raging news tagged by her dear cousin.

Reading the article, "World renowned Chef: Soma Yukihira, was later admitted to the hospital for an unknown reason after collapsing after his guest appearance from the show 'Bridge Rock of .LME' but after a week sources revealed that he is diagnosed with (A.L.L) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, for almost three months, this has been confirmed after the award winning Chef after his fun and iconic channel and cooking contest show confirmed his situation after his collapse. Media and other sources does not have any news or information what stage he is or he is taking the treatments, fans and his patrons play for his recovery after the news broke out" she read, her eyes in tears after she just wished he was well but it seemed that her supposed home will soon be gone.

Erina's heart sank eyes read from falling tears after seeing an image of her former muscular husband; his former toned and perfectly sculpted define body which she love to palm, touch and embrace, now skinny, pale matching his pale white lips and dark circular bags under his eyes, his eyes which used to be full of life, love and mischief now lifeless.

After having her talk with Lady Siluca earlier she couldn't deny that she still loved the idiotic man making her regret her sudden decision, now she fels like she's being stripped of her life, she loved the man and yet she abandoned him.

She was in full blown crying, Hisako rushed to her side and hugged her, "He did not abandon me, I was the one who did the abandoning" she sobbed, "Whenever he's away he never fails to let me know I'm his home, yet I never did the same, Hisako… I… I…" she sobbed harder.

"What do you want, Erina? If you wanted something you had to get it yourself, this is the point I can't help you, throw away your pride for once and you might reclaim the one you want" she told.

"I will…" she continued to cry, "But I will lose him soon" her embrace got tighter.

"Then waste no time, I'll handle your schedule, here is his address" she winked and gave her a piece of information.

"I'll find my way back home, I promise" she thought.
