One night. The one night she wasn't supposed to be there. She got into a one on one arguement with Mr Xavier, The CEO of a Milton billionaire industry, X&O. In an attempt to get revenge he forcefully hires her as his Pa. But things didn't go as he wished, and they both have to stick together to fight new obtsacles. Now the question to fate is that will they survive without tearing each other apart first. "I want his head." I grin evily, watching him from the window. Even without doing anything, he still annoys me.

「ガー ガー」
鋭く響く声で、時に低く喉を鳴らすような音も混じる。リズムは不規則で、短く切れ目なく連なる場合もあれば、間を置いて一声だけ響くこともある。どこか金属的で、荒々しくも力強い、ただひとつわかることは。この子は多分「起きろ!」と言っている。
カラスが今日も私を起こしに来た。
「おはよう、カー子。今日もありがと」
ジリリリリリリリリ
カラスに少し遅れて目覚まし時計が鳴る。
カチ
「今日はカー子の勝ちだったねえ」
「ガー!」
コチ、コチ、コチ、コチと秒針を進める目覚まし時計がなんとなく悔しそうにしてるように見える。
あたりは夕焼けに染まり人々の一日が終わろうとする中で私の一日が始まる。私は雀荘の遅番。夜に始まり朝終わる。そんな仕事をしている女だ。女性では珍しいことだが、いないわけではない。そんな人間だってこの世界には存在しているのだと知って欲しい。
そのことを、知って欲しくて毎日少しだけ、書き物をしてる。
時は遡って、私がメンバーの真似事をし始めた頃の話から読んでくれますか? ここから先、めくるページは、そう……私の書いたちょっと不思議な自伝の物語――
◆◇◆◇
その1
第一話 私のアミューズメントパーク
私は雀荘に対してマイナスのイメージを持ってない。大人が遊ぶ娯楽施設。アミューズメントパークとかの括りだと思ってるから。だって、そでしょ? 好きな遊びをやる。そこに使用料を払う。フツーのことじゃない? なんでこれがアンダーグラウンドな括りにされてしまうのか理解できない。時代は平成ですからね?
そんな風に私と同じ思いをしてる人はこの世界のどこかにいるはずだ。と思いながらこの熱い想いを当時働いてた雀荘の店長に伝えると。
「まあ、ミズサキの言い分はわからなくもない。わからないわけでもないが、まずは高校を卒業しろ? 年齢隠して深夜の雀荘でバイトみたいな事してる女子なんてのは世界広しと言えどもさすがにミズサキ1人だけだろうからさ。
うちはテキトーだし郊外でポツンとある店だからそれも可能とは言え、とんでもないことしてるのは間違いないからな?」
「う、わかりました……。それはそうか」
この店『麻雀こじま』はド田舎の商店街の端っこ。それも少し商店街から離れた位置にある一応商店街に参加してるよというだけの店。みんなからは『離れ小島』なんて言われてる。お客さんはいつも同じだし、警察の見回りなんて来たことない。そんな離れ小島で私の雀荘生活はスタートしました。
別に、両親が亡くなったとか、海外にいるとか、そんなわけじゃないんだけど。私はここにいた。
親はたしかに健在だけど私は親と仲良くなかった。そう、私は家出少女だったんだ。
Xavier's pov (literally the end.) Soft sobs. No matter how sleepy I am I can't seem to ignore. I push myself up, moving to the edge of the bed where she is curled up in a ball,sniffing not so quitely. I pick her up placing her on my lap. "Hey. Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you feel pain anywhere?" I ask scanning her teary face. "Do you want to see doctor Charles." "No. Am okay." She sniffs rubbing off her tears with the back of her palm. "It's just my normal mood swings and I feel a little bit hungry." Hungry? "What do you want to eat." I run my fingers through her hair softly helping her calm down. "Chinese food." She replies with a pout. Chinese food. Chinese food? Last time it was Korea(Ramen.) So I got the fridge stock up with tons of them. It's already almost twelve mid ni
Pari's pov (continuation.)I push pass the metal door,regret sipping through my form when my eyes fall on the glass wall separating me from her.Remind me again why am I here? Wait....it's all because of someone whose name starts with you know who.Taking a sit on the iron chair provided which is the only thing in the empty room. I pick up the phone staring right at her.She looks just the same as the last time I saw her the only difference that she isn't holding a gun at me this time."You came. What a surprise." Her lips curve into a small smile."I had to. Letting you rot in jail isn't really good for my conscience." I reply sincerely. "You are still my big sis after all." 
Pari's Pov (continuation.)"Pari." She screetch running towards me with the speed of light, her beautiful, long gown tugging along behind her.How can she even run with so much weight?"I am so happy you came." She wraps her as around me, suffocating me with a thick wedding material."Well I can't miss my favorite wedding planner's wedding, can I?" I chuckle and she joins me."Mr Xavier came too?" Kiera looks shocked when her eyes catches Xavier chatting with a group of guys.The groom included.Huh...I literally had to drag him with me."I couldn't come wi
Pari's Pov (continuation.) I wake up to the sound of continuous beeping, the strong of detergent enough to remind me of where and why I am here. He is still hooked up to the machine, looking a little less alive. I have never seen him like this, not even when he sleeps, he'd always have that sly smirk curved on his face. Resting my head on our interweaved hand I let out the frustration. He said he'd be okay. It's been hours already. God am so sorry Xavier. It's all my fault you are in so much pain. "It's sure is." A voice replies from above. Probably my conscience. "I know and am....." Wait my conscience can't speak out loud, can it? "Do you always cry like this or is i
Pari's Pov(continuation.)It should be me....no...no...this can't be happening.I fall to the ground, resting his head on my thigh."Xavier.....Xavier." My hands shakily moves to his wound which is gushing out blood but he stops it Midway."I am fine." He says with a small smile,trying to get up. "It's okay."A small sob escapes my lip as I look around. Freya is no where to be found.Help....I need help....God what should I do?...oh... GodCall. I should call Shelley or Jordan or maybe dad.No, it will be too late."Xavier you brought a car right?" I ask taking in a deep breath."What do you think? I walked here?" He replies his vo
Pari's Pov (continuation.)"Freya." I gasp in shock.She laughs sadistically. "Well hello Pari.""What are you....why are you here?" I stand still, my eyes never leaving here. " Am supposed to be meeting....."Xavier.... shit."You sent that text,didn't you?" I realise with a low groan.I was so interested in the stupid romantic date that i didn't even had the time to think.So dumb, the evil side voice snorts.I totally agree, the good side supports.Those snitches."Guess you just figured out." She smile fully, twirling the gun in her hand.Does she even knows how to use that? Okay I shouldn't be underestimating her right now.If I can get a little bit closer I might be able to kick the gun out of her hand."Don't even bother." She advise, probably reading my thou
