Andrew had wanted to go to Aruba or Key West for their vacation, but Grace insisted on going to her absolute favorite city in the world: Manhattan.

Mr. Izuna also informs Andrew that Mrs. Tanaka and her Husband, Ryu, the leaders of this branch of the Yakuza want to meet him personally.

Grace goes into the bathroom, she stares at her reflection in the mirror.

She sighs at the deep, purple unsightly bruise that now adorned her otherwise flawless skin.

Andrew and Grace have been married for six and a half years, everything in their relationship was fine until Andrew got involved with these Yakuza people.

Opening the medicine cabinet, Grace finds her concealer. She grabs it without hesitation and begins applying it to her face.

'Why do I always accept this? Am I not worth true, genuine love and affection?' Grace thought to herself.

The sound of Andrew knocking on the bathroom door brings Grace out of her thoughts.

"Grace, are you alright in there?"

Fear gripped Grace like a vice, she didn't want to keep her Husband waiting so she quickly applied the concealer and exited the bathroom.

They packed some clothes in their luggage and flew to New York City, once they reached the Big Apple, Grace and Andrew went to the Stardust Hotel, where Andrew's meeting with the Yakuza was to take place.

While Andrew prepared for his meeting, Grace decided to go for a swim in the hotel's public pool.
