Not Once

"She's dead! She's dead!" muttering the words, his hands began to tremble. His wife is dead. His abandoned wife is dead. Whose fault was this? His? Definitely!

Since they both knew each other, never once did he look at her with love. The truth was, he never love her. Not once. Their marriage was, like any other rich families heir, arranged by their elders. And he could not escaped even though he was the second heir after his brother, Ichiro.

This was all because Ichiro have already married during his study. even though his marriage did not gain approval from their elders at first, Ichiro and his wife managed to meet their requirement when they announced the wife's pregnancy. Thus, the engagement was put on Hiro's head as the second heir.

Since he cannot escaped the engagement, he simply put the blame on Yuki as the girl did not break the engagement once she knew the groom was switched by their elders. He grew hatred towards Yuki. From days to weeks to months, his hatred blinded him from accepting Yuki's kindness. All he could see was a girl with a greed for his family's wealth.

He abandoned her starting from their first day as husband and wife. He mistreated her in any way he wants. And he never regret his decision until today. Until he saw her lying breathlessly in their bed. Until then he got to realized his true feelings towards her. His true feeling was that he truly loves her, from deep down in his cruel heart. He loves her!

But, she was no longer alive to received his love. He hates her to death when she's alive and ready to give all her heart. And now, he loves her when she is no longer breathing!

Life is cruel. Reality is harsh!
