A few days go by and I finally have fully recovered, Zaki would check up on me each day and I would ignore him each day.
I also have managed to get some information from a few younger maids.
(It seems that we're back in our own country and only a few hours away from the capital city. If I were to escape, tonight would be the best opportunity.)
I begin to think of a escape plan when a knock on the door brings me back to reality, I turn around and see Zaki closing the door behind him.
"I see your up and doing well today, my master has requested to see you now."
I look away from his gaze and he approaches me.
"The servants will help you dress and fix your hair then you will be led down to the dinning room."
(This could benefit me if I could mesmerize the path. Normally dining halls are close to the front entrances.)
I nod and he chuckles.
"Good, see you soon."
I watch as be leaves the room and I smirk.
(Good, I can start my mission here.)
After getting ready and looking at myself in the mirror I gulp.
(Is...This really me?)
The dress they had put me in was beaded in the back while the front was a 'V' neck. It's color was as snow white with different gems and beads placed along the dress and in my braided hair.
"Madam you look stunning, let's get you down to master now that we are ready."
I nod and they escort me out, I take in every detail as we walk along the corridor.
(This hallway feels like it goes on for forever, I don't see a single exit here.)
Just then the maid stops in front of a door and opens it revealing the rather big dinning room. As I scanned the area the first thing I notice is Zaki standing next to a man who looked to be around Kadachi and my age. He has dark brown hair and forest green eyes. The aura surrounding him made me feel uncomfortable as he stared back at me.
"Welcome Mrs. Kairi and welcome to my home, I do hope you are feeling better?"
I nod.
"I'm fine."
The man nods in satisfaction to my response and points to a seat next to him.
"Come have some stew with us and we can get to know one another, Theirs a few things I would like to talk to you about then you can be on your way."
I suddenly look up at him.
"But how do I know you will really let me go after I tell you what you want?"
The man chuckles at my quick response and leans back into his seat.
"Well, I can see why you wouldn't trust me...But I can tell you my name and guarantee your safe return to your fiancee by calling him right now if you want?"
(This guy has had Kadachi's number this whole time!)
I sigh.
"Fine it's a deal."
He chuckles and pulls his phone out but before he hits the call button he looks up at me.
"Oh and by the way, My names Kaito Masumi."
(Did he just say...Masumi...)
As if time had stood still for a moment the only thought I had in mind was that one of the last things my mother had said to me before she passed away was a story about when she was a young girl she met a boy named Kyoto Masumi and they had become close before Mother married my father.
"Kairi?"
I look up to see all eyes on me.
"Kadachi is on the phone and wants to hear that your ok."
I nod and take the phone from Kaito.
"Kadachi?"
I hear a long sigh of relief on the other end.
"Good, I'm glad to hear that your ok, I'll be their in about 45 minutes ok?"
I smile silently feeling relief hearing his voice.
"Ok, i'm giving the phone back to...Mr. Masumi now."
I hand the phone back to him and he hands it off to Zaki who begins to talk to Kadachi as he walks away. Kaito leans back into his seat before breaking the silence.
"Their, now that that's done let's talk."
I nod.
"It seems my name has struck a cord? You seemed to space out when I said my name do you know who I am then?"
I shake my head.
"No, I don't know who you are but your last name I have heard once when I was young."
Kaito looks at me curiously.
"Oh? And what memory was that?"
I glance at the floor and recall the memory.
"When I was young I recall my mother on her death bed telling me a story about a man named Kyoto Masumi. All she said was that she and him got really close before she married my father."
Kaito smirks.
"Is that all?"
I nod innocently and he sighs before pulling out a binder from under the chair and laying it out in front of me.
"This is a binder of all the information you will need after I tell you what I'm about to tell you. Considering your fiance will be here soon we don't have a lot of time for questions so I can answer 2."
I nod in response and he continues to speak.
"Your mother is not your mother, You are my younger sister and were kidnapped soon after birth by the woman who claimed to be your mother."
Shocked by the sudden overload of emotions I was feeling I was speechless.
(How can this be true? It can't possibly be true right? She showed me so much love and she...)
As my thoughts race I notice my breath start to feel heavy and a sharp pain in my chest.
(What the-)
"Kairi are you ok you look a bit pale?"
I look up at him and nod while trying to stand up.
"Yeah, I just felt a bit sick there but...Im-"
Just as I stand up I feel a wave of dizziness hit me and black out on the spot.
