[COMPLETED] Born as the Yuasa family's illegitimate child, Yuasa Shouko was grateful for having a loving half-sister and caring aunt. Yet, she was utterly dismayed when her evil father and stepmother wanted to sell her off to a violent young master. But, why did she suddenly wake up to five years in the future? And, since when did she get married to Kashino Kyoya, the young master of the Kashino family? Wasn't he supposed to marry her half-sister? Shouko lost all the memories of the prior years. Despite that, Kyoya's gentle and respectful treatment put her at ease as she scoured the waters of her lost memories. She also gained a more supportive family at the same time. Yet... As time passed, Shouko realized Kyoya and everyone were hiding a dark secret from her. What made him so scared? What led to her loss of memories? ********** Yuasa Shouko: "You know, I am jealous of my past self because she experienced the love you gave her. I want to remember my feelings but... it's only void in my mind. What should I do?" Kashino Kyoya: "No matter who you are, the past you or the one with me right now, I love every part of you. So, don't be afraid. I won't ever make you question your trust in me." ------------ Discord: hansora#1507 Instagram: hansora_author AI-generated cover
Kyoya spent the night at Aunt Masako's apartment rather than going back to Rosy Mansion. The husband and wife cooked together and cuddled on the couch before going to bed, something they hadn't done much in the last three months.
For the first time in a while, Shouko felt peace while having him as her company instead of being haunted by her guilt.
Before, aside from feeling guilty whenever she thought of her failure to protect Little Riceball, a part of her guilt was due to her feeling sorry for Kyoya. Despite his reassurance time and again, Shouko couldn't help but berate herself for allowing such tragedy to fall onto their family.
That was one of the reasons she was reluctant to face Kyoya since the death of their son.
But, now, she had thought things through. She had to recollect herself and start swimming away from the dark abyss that was threatening to swallow her in its entirety.
The next morning.
