Gouenji's P.O.V:

It's been a month since she left us. I think by now her shoulder injury is completely healed. I was really shocked when Hannah wanted me to leave. She was always a kind and lovely person. She often treated me like her own son. She was what my so called mother was not in many ways. She was especially fond of me and that had nothing to do with my money. Her parents are also like her in some ways. They don't know me, I mean to say the wealth I have or they don't care.

Company is going on very well and the hotel we undertook for construction is going well too. We never dealt with hotels before, this is first time but things are looking positive, interior designing, location and all came together very well. I am sure if Astrea was here work would have been quick and she would suggest even more awesome designs. She never considers herself as much but she is very intelligent and hard working. Her work during the start of the company was very crucial. Not only in technical terms but she is the support for my company, an emotional pillar to me, my family and my company. And this hotel can also be considered a little personal since that is for Destiny. Little gift as an apology.

This month without her was personally a hell to me. Company which was previously very busy and hectic with life full on busy now seems very bland and lifeless to me. Everything seems waste and lifeless, I don't have the drive to work nor to do anything. May be this is what they call love sickness. I never thought a female hater like me will experience love sickness. Funny how life unfolds.

I kept tabs on her and I know what she is doing each and every minute. Her shoulder seems fine now and she is moving around. I was on the verge of barging into her home and bring her back, I would have done that if not for Dannon. He was the one who took it hard amongst us. That little life couldn't understand what was going on and wanted her so much. I thought that was the only reason but turns out it is not the only one. I still can't believe he had to endure such things at such a young age. I am sure Astrea would have my head when she knows what happened to him.

She returned to Boston with her parents and is rehabilitating. I gave some time in order to let her parents cool down and I think it is more than enough. It's already been a month. Now I don't care whether they cooled down or not. Astrea is mine and no one can keep her away from me, neither her parents nor she herself. She is mine and that is it. End of discussion.

In the eyes of public she is my fiancee. Yeah, the statement I made that day still is circulating. I want everyone to know that she is mine. She is very precious to me and I am not ready to lose her. Someone like her is very rare to find these days, a genuine person that she is and the only one I love. I would rather die than let her go. She is the first I ever wanted and I am not letting her go. They made several articles regarding our closeness and also that Dannon could be our son in secret. Astrea's absence for about a month raised various questions but I never allowed them to print any unnecessary things. I made them think that she is recovering from ill health due to over exertion. Damn it! She is too good for her own safety

She let Steven go without any sort of punishment though he shot her. Because he apparently changed is now a fucking angel. Even the previous guy who tried to rape her, just thinking about him makes me want to go and punch him senseless and destroy him which I would have done with no regret life but no! Astrea wants to let him go too! Her explanation is that he just wanted to scare her and wouldn't have raped her in truth.He was just humiliated and frustrated and made these plans with Olivia. Like hell it is! I just want to throw them both in jail. Each and every time she gets injured but always lets the others off the hook easily. Does she think of herself as an angel? Damn it! She'll give me heart attack one of these days.

"Are you ready?" G asked me and Lillian's head appeared at the door of my room. Oh yeah! I am going to Boston today to drag Astrea back with me and our gang insists that they follow me. Honestly I want to ditch them all and go there alone and kiss the hell out of her when I reach there. But alas they are very stubborn and insist on coming with me despite my death glares. It's not that my death glare lost it's power, in fact it is even deadlier than ever since it is related to Astrea. But just like me they are eager to see Astrea and hanging on, cowering there despite my death glares. Seeing their courage and longing to see Astrea I can't find it in me to leave them and hence we are all going there together. Aram and Robert couldn't make it today and I assured them that we will return with her no matter what.

"Coming." I grunted shooting them another death glare making them shiver in fear. I said I will tolerate their presence and let them come with me but it doesn't mean I have to like it. If they really want to come and meet her then they would have to endure my irritation and death glares.

^A few hours later in Boston^

"Where is she?" Lillian asked very excitedly. I shot her yet another death glare making her shut up instantly.

"Why is he so pissed off?" She murmured under her breathe though we could all hear it.

"Come on Lily. Give the lover boy some space. He didn't see her all over the month. It is difficult for him."

"But we didn't see her too." G whined.

"It's different for him and us. He loves her." This time Kidou replied. Since when it is clear to them that I love her? Though I am not going to say anything against it. "We also love her but it is different. She is her one and only love. His life."

"He never declared that he loves her." Lillian pouted. Seriously females are very annoying! Of course except my Astrea. Like her name she is pure innocent and I love her. She just drives me crazy.

"We know it." Kidou and Fidio replied in sync.

"He announced that she is her fiancee to the media." Kidou said.

"He makes sure that no nonsense spreads regarding her absence this month and ensured that public thinks he is still engaged to Destiny." Fido said again.

"He keeps tabs on her." Kidou replied.

"Not to mention we are going to her now." Fidio continued.

"You forget about his irritating mood in her absence." Kidou added.

"Oh yeah! Lover boy here definitely realized that Destiny is his destiny!" Fido said laughing.

May be guys are annoying too or is it just my friends. Let them be. I don't have time for them now. I quickly took out my phone and called my detective who is keeping tabs on Astrea.

"Where is she?" I asked coming to the matter directly. I am not one to beat around the bush. It's straight to the issue with me.

"Florence, a cafe four blocks away from her home."

"Got it!" I said ending the call immediately.

"Where is she?" Others asked me eagerly.

"Florence." I replied getting in the limousine.

We reached there within ten minutes at the high speed we were going and fortunately none of the police caught up. Frankly I am ready to pay the fine, anything to reach Astrea faster.

"Oh! This cafe is a big one." G said.

"I think it is famous locally." Lillian replied.

"That would explain the numerous people here." Fidio said.

"How are we going to find her here?" Kidou asked.

Are my friends normally this dumb or is it just today?

"You guys go each in a direction. I will wait here at the entrance so that I can see her if we leaves." I gave instructions to the children around me, my so called friends.

"That's a good idea." They replied leaving me at the entrance and my eyes traveled all over the cafe searching for my love. My eyes had a mind of their own probably following my heart and I found her quickly. She sat at an empty table drinking her favorite vanilla milkshake. My heart started beating fast as usual and seeing her after one month made me feel warm and content. I never realized I missed her to this extent till now. I just want to go and hug her tightly never letting her go. I really can't live without her. I know she is going to stay with me and never leave but the question now is how? How am I going to convince her or her parents? The end of the road, I mean destination is fixed, I just need to choose which path to take.

When I looked again she wasn't there and I panicked for a second. My eyes searched for her again and I found her being approached by G and Lillian. Kidou and Fidio were just behind them but somehow I was rooted to the spot and couldn't move to her though I wanted nothing more than just run and kiss her senseless till she forgets everything except my lips.

"Destiny!" G and Lillian ran to her hugging her catching her off guard. For a second she lost her balance but managed to hold them from kissing the ground. Are they idiots? She just recovered from her shoulder injury, not to mention it is a bullet wound. Can't they be more careful? Thank god she didn't wince or else I would have personally parceled them to Antarctica.

"We missed you so much." They shouted covering her in kisses and others in the cafe looked at them weirdly but that is not what makes me worried. Something is wrong. I feel something amiss.

"Why didn't you even call us all this time?"

"Do you even know how much we were worried about you?"

"Girls let her breathe." Fidio said coming to her rescue.

"She recovered recently." Kidou supported her prying G off Astrea who was dangling onto her.

But seriously what is it that I found wrong? I am never wrong about anything.

"Oops! We are sorry! We just couldn't control ourselves seeing you after such a long time. We didn't hurt you right?"

Astrea just looked at them blankly without replying.

"Oh my god! We didn't hurt you right?" Lillian exclaimed worrying. No, no, no that's not it Lillian. Something else is wrong. What is it?

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Kidou asked getting worried because she isn't replying.

"Um.... I am alright." She said looking at them warily as if doubting their presence and intentions. "How do you know I was hurt previously?" Don't they know? Kidou was with me in the car so it is obvious that they would know. All of them looked at her in confusion along with me. "Do I know you guys?"

What???????

All of them stood there with their mouths open and looking at her in shock. This is what I found wrong. Her face doesn't show the familiar warmth and recognition. It doesn't show the usual expressions. It is plain blank void of any emotions except for the wariness and doubt she showed.

"Excuse me." Astrea said excusing herself and getting away from with with hesitant steps and looking back at them in doubt. I still find something wrong. What is it that I am missing? What am I not seeing? What is it? What is wrong?

"Excuse me Mr." Astrea's voice filled my ears and despite the condition we are in her voice still filled me with warmth. Her voice is still soothing like always, pleasant than any melody or song I ever heard. "Can you move?" She asked hesitantly as if talking to a stranger. "You are...in the way." She replied pointing her finger at me and I moved unconsciously partly shocked at her stranger treatment.

"What happened to her?" Lillian asked me.

"She didn't recognize us." Fidio said moving his hand through his hair obviously frustrated.

"Did she hit her head during that incident and forgot us? Oh my god! Is it amnesia?" G questioned. No that's not it. She perfectly recognized me and asked for Dannon too after she became conscious. What is wrong? What am I missing?

"How can she forget us? What to do now?" Kidou asked.

I know! I know now! I know what I am missing.

I removed my phone from my pant pocket and called my agent.

"Where is she now?"

"At the book store just around the corner."

"Got it!"

I got you Astrea. You can't escape from me. You just caught me off guard. You are mine. You can't escape from me. Not now not ever!
