NEON CITY — YUKIRO
Yukiro’s fingers trembled as he hit the call button again.
Calling…
Calling…
No response.
Mekisa… pick up—
He tried again.
And again.
Still nothing.
His frustration exploded.
Why is she not answering!?
SUNSHINE ORPHANAGE — NIGHT
The kids were half-asleep in the living room, cuddled around Kei.
Kei noticed Mekisa staring blankly at her buzzing phone.
Before she could reject the call again, Kei gently took the phone from her hand and pressed it into her palm.
Nee-chan… someone keeps calling.
It sounds serious.
He looked into her eyes — worried, protective
Then he turned to the other kids.
Alright everyone, bed time!
Let’s give Mekisa-nee some space.
The kids followed him obediently.
Mekisa finally answered the call.
Hello.
THE CALL
Yukiro’s voice burst through — sharp, panicked.
Mekisa! Why did you sign the contract!?
How could you!?
Her heart stung… but her voice stayed cold.
It was my decision.
You don’t even know what you agreed to!
I know enough.
Their words struck like knives to yukiro— anger, fear, betrayal colliding.
Mekisa, do you realise what you’ve done!?” Yukiro snapped.
I did what I had to.she replied.
THE INTERVIEW BEGINS
live podcast start
Both of them fell silent.
Lady Shizuka appeared on screen — elegant, confident, smiling like a queen.
Reporters fought for space.
Tonight… I must share something important.
Every camera locked onto her.
My eldest daughter…
Mekisa Kevi,
has agreed to return to the Kevi family and join our company.
The world froze.
Mekisa’s breath heavy and heart feels heavy
This family name i running from 10 years,but now this name brand me in front of millions of eyes .
Lady Shizuka continued smoothly.
She has been living quietly in a small orphanage for emotional recovery after her father’s tragic accident.
Gasps filled the studio.
Social media exploded.
Kevi family’s hidden successor is revealed!
Who is Mekisa!?
Why was she returning now?
And then Shizuka dropped the second bomb.
Sunshine Orphanage, run by my daughter, will now officially come under the Kevi family’s protection.
Mekisa’s blood ran cold but she has idea about this announcement.
Yukiro’s voice shook with anger.
Now do you understand?
Mekisa, that contract—
You traded Sunshine Orphanage for 1%... plus the 4% you inherited from your father.
Don't you see? She needed your signature to merge the shares and control the voting bloc you now legally own.
…makes you one of the biggest shareholders.
Silence.
Mekisa whispered:
…So that’s why she wanted me…
…that’s why she pretended to little nice to me…
Yukiro didn’t soften.
“Mekisa, this isn’t strength.
This is exactly what she wanted from you.
Mekisa’s voice turned icy ,she wants silence only and not trust yukiro due to his secret connect with lady Shizuka
You’re wrong.
I want to grow.
I want to become strong.
And with that—
She cut the call.
NEON CITY — YUKIRO
Seconds later, a message flashed on Yukiro’s phone.
“Yukiro Keito,
you are hereby appointed as
Assistant to Lady Mekisa Kevi.
Report to Kevi HQ at 9 AM.”
He stared at the screen, stunned.
…Lady Shizuka… what are you planning now?
