The Billionaire Mafia
End of Love Story

Sunlight peeked out from behind the slit of the window that was left open. The light that entered was blinding the eyes of a person who was still closed, so slowly his eyelids separated.

Darren touches the sun's rays that interfere with his sleep. He repeatedly blinked his eyes, and then sat up with occasional grimacing touching his heavy terrace head. Once fully conscious, he was stunned for a moment because he was currently in his room. The man tried to dig out his vague memories appearing.

"Damn!" And when he remembered what happened last night, he hurriedly got out of bed, then ran to the bathroom to clean himself first.

It took only a few minutes, Darren came out with a towel wrapped around his waist, before walking to walk in closet to put on his clothes. After getting dressed, he immediately came out of the room down, coinciding with Mommy Millie who had just stepped out of the kitchen.

"You awake, baby?" Mommy Millie greeted the son with a faint smile.

"Hm, where's Keiko, Mom?"

Mommy Millie's footwork stops for a moment when Darren searches for Keiko's whereabouts. Though he knew full well that since yesterday his son had avoided Keiko and his family, more precisely avoiding talking about their matchmaking.

"Keiko and her parents are in the yard with Uncle Brian. What are you looking for Keiko?"

Darren did not reply, he only scratched his head which did not itch. "Hm, I'm just asking. Because after breakfast I want to talk to them."

"Are you sure of your decision?" Mommy Millie just made sure, she would support whatever her eldest son's decision was.

"Yes, I don't want to do something forced. From the beginning I had refused, but they insisted on forcing, so don't blame me for breaking their daughter's heart once again."

Hearing Darren's words, Mommy Millie just nodded. He knows well his son who does not like to be forced and all must be in accordance with his wishes.

After talking to Mommy Millie, Darren steps toward the courtyard connected to the pool. There was a faint sound of conversation between Uncle Brian and Ojisan Hiroki. Inaudible to Daddy Jack's voice, Darren can already guess if his Daddy prefers in the workspace rather than having to accompany them even though just chatting.

Keiko, the beautiful woman caught her attention on Darren who stepped towards them. For a moment their gaze met, before Keiko finally lowered her head in. He crumpled all his fingers, felt trembling, because he remembered the incident last night when accidentally passed by Darren who looked very drunk.

Get out of my sight or I'll kill you right now!

A warning that certainly haunts him so he can not be closed. It's just that the already deep sense made him not heed the warning.

"Der, sit here." Uncle Brian, who was aware of Darren's whereabouts, told his nephew to sit by his side.

Without making a sound, Darren immediately buried his body in the chair, right next to Uncle Brian.

"It just so happens that there's Darren, we want to talk about the continuation of your relationship." Michiko smiled kindly, looking so enthusiastic to see his future daughter-in-law willing to approach them, considering since yesterday the man tried to avoid.

"Right, we can't stay here too long. I still have to attend the meeting for the next few days." Hiroki chimed in on the words of the wife. He should have returned to Japan, considering he is a politician who served as prime minister.

Darren did not respond, he clearly knew what position the middle-aged man was holding before him. Even so he remains uninterested, all this time he has lived with treasure and is very fulfilled. And the woman's problem, she didn't think too much about it and they arbitrarily arranged an arranged marriage for her. Big No's. His life can only decide for itself.

"I'm sorry for not being able to accept this match." What Darren just said made Uncle Brian, Hiroki, Michiko and especially Keiko surprised, even the eyes of the woman seemed to condense.

"What do you mean?" Hiroki who felt that he did not accept demanded an explanation.

"Why talk like that? Can't you see Keiko's seriousness? Our daughter is a good and very beautiful woman. Why can't you accept your matchmaking?" Michiko also felt unaccepted. He wants to convince Darren to accept their match. There was no shortage of her daughter. Keiko Oda is the most beautiful woman in their city, Yokohama City.

"From the beginning I rejected this match. Isn't that right, Uncle?" Darren emphasized his words, looking for justification against his Uncle who had clearly known better what he thought from the start.

Feeling cornered Uncle Brian could only smile knot. He had said so, but Hiroki his friend still wanted to try it by starting the approach first.

"Hm, Uncle said it, but..." Uncle Brian hung up his sentence, he looked at Hiroki as the answer.

Hiroki only sighed harshly, turning to his daughter blankly. Surely his daughter was disappointed and he could feel the disappointment of his only daughter.

"As a father I just want to see my daughter happy with her choice" he said in a raucous voice.

"I'm sorry, but my decision was like the beginning. Keiko, Bibi's daughter is a beautiful and also kind woman, therefore she deserves a better man than me." Darren replied softly, he did not want to break the hearts of the two old men. Like her parents who also did their best for her, Keiko's parents wanted kindness for their daughter. But the name of the heart cannot be forced. As pretty as anything, Keiko's face didn't interest her, let alone shake.

Hiroki exhaled a long breath. He was afraid to beg someone, so he tried to understand. His hand tried to grasp the back of Keiko's hand, making the beautiful woman lift her face to meet her father.

"Pa.." - She softly shuddered with quivering lips.

Unlike Hiroki who seemed calm, Michiko could not accept what Darren said.

"What's my daughter's lack? There's a lot of people out there who want my daughter, but she just wants to be with you!" There was a flash of anger trying to get stuck. But still he could not accept if another man rejected his favorite daughter just like that.

"Nothing, Aunt's daughter has no shortage of it. It's just that from the beginning I wasn't interested in a relationship with anyone." Once again, Darren replied firmly. For him to refuse to lick or try to exalt himself and at this time he is not interested in a relationship with a woman.

"You...."

"Hm, sorry before Madam. This is what my son is like, if he says no, he will always say no." I don't know since when Mommy Millie was there, because she heard their conversation from the beginning. Mommy Millie immediately dropped herself on the single seat. "Before we were really sorry, not that we didn't appreciate the Oda Family, but we accepted Darren's decision. You respectable families will understand that a forced relationship will never work." The firmness seems obvious in both eyes of Mommy Millie, if all this time Darren knows the softness of his Mommy, then he was not surprised again with the firmness of his Mommy.

"What my wife says is true, we value the Oda Family." Daddy Jack walked over, he immediately sat himself on the armrest of the chair occupied by his wife. "Therefore do not regard our refusal as the beginning of hostilities. Oda and the Young Shogun are allies, because it's not good if this affects your clan" he said wisely. Come on, he just does not want personal affairs related to other things, such as the family relationship between Shogun Young and Oda.

"Alright, I understand what you're saying. Nor will I force it, for there is nothing in the dictionary of the Oda Family of beggars on anyone. And you take it easy, I'm not a narrow-minded guy, so anyway me and Brian were good friends a long time ago." Hiroki tried to understand, although furious he could not do anything. It's just that he was really disappointed the hope of the princess had to be dashed just like that. His gaze fell on his good friend Brian, who was greeted by Brian by shrugging both shoulders.

I've tried to help as much as I can. If they refuse, what can I do?

Such was the response captured by Hiroki to the meaning of Brian's gaze. He was a prime minister, dropping his dignity was not his style.

"Then today we will return to Japan." Hiroki said flatly, still tucked away in his disappointment. Although not comparable to the disappointment of the princess who now only bowed in listening to the decision of the family of the man she loved. As for Michiko, he held back his regret, he should not agree and support his daughter's wishes if in the end only rejection was received by his daughter.

***

After confirming what he should have confirmed since yesterday, Darren is now alone with Keiko. Asian women are milky-white, beautiful with not-so-large eye folds, and light brown eyeball color. It was just that he was not interested as pretty as any woman before him.

"Do you understand now?" Darren's voice that opened the conversation was caught clearly in Keiko's ear, until the woman looked at Darren.

"I...." I don't know, Keiko's lips are really moody. There was a wound in his heart that felt sore, but he could not force one's heart either. "I'm sorry for looking like I wanted to force you. I was in too much of a hurry to convey my wishes to Papa and Mama that they decided quickly." Keiko's soft voice was lascivious, soft and so soothing. It's just that it's not enough to attract Darren's attention that it's hard to fall in love.

"It's good that you understand. I hope in the future don't make decisions based on your wishes." It was heartbreaking and Darren didn't care whether his words hurt Keiko or not. He just wants to express his opinion.

Keiko smiled wryly hearing that. Now he knows a little more about the figure of the man he loved in that short time. Not a quiet man like his shadow, it was like he was harboring a deadly poison.

"Is your wrist okay?" Not the form of attention Darren asked. He felt a little guilty because what he did last night really hurt that woman. Moreover, he remembered if he had threatened Keiko.

Keiko reflex touched her slightly bruised wrist due to Darren's grip. He was wrong because last night accidentally held the man's step when he wanted to go to the kitchen and it ended up the man getting angry at him and almost strangling him if he did not move backwards. Until the end of his wrist that was firmly blocked.

"My wrist is fine." Keiko smiled to prove that she was okay. The wound on his hand could not compare to the wound on his heart.

Darren nodded. It's good that he's okay, so he doesn't have to feel guilty much longer. "Then I'll go first. If you and your parents want to go back to Japan, be careful." After saying that, he immediately stood up, and stepped away leaving Keiko who was still silent in her place.

The woman's gaze was silent and did not move from Darren's steady back, until slowly the man's figure vanished from his sight. This is the end of his love story, which must be let go before it begins.
