All Chapters of Until Then: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Will you marry me?” The question that every woman had hoped to hear. Alice stood in the center of an empty restaurant, her boyfriend, Ken, whom she has been dating for 3 years, kneeled in front of her with a ring asking for her hand. Speechless, tears started welling in her eyes. She slowly nodded her head and offered her hand to Ken. With a nervous chuckle, Ken took her hand and placed the ring on her finger. “I love you.” Ken spoke as he stood up and kissed Alice. “Thank you for making me the happiest man alive.” The memory rang in Alice’s head as she stood by the doorway of their bedroom. Her eyes were stuck to the two bodies asleep in each other’s arms. Clothes scattered all around the bedroom floor. She dropped her bag onto the floor creating a loud bang, waking up the two. When he had come to, Ken saw his fiancée crying by the doorway. He looked at the sleeping woman next to him and realized what had happened. “Alice… It’s not what you think.” He said while desperately tryin

The day of the gala had finally arrived. After spending the whole morning finalizing everything for the event, Ayane finally settled down for Rei to gussy her up. Ayane was strongly against wearing makeup but Rei insisted."Don't go overboard, okay?" Ayane wanted reassurance from Rei but Rei only smiled at her. She started with Ayane's hair which she planned to curl and do a half-up half-down hairstyle. Afterwards, Rei moved on to Ayane's makeup. She considered Ayane's opinion on makeup and used as little as possible. She opted for an elegant but subtle look that matched her gown. A few hours of prepping and Ayane was finally done."Be sure to have fun but don't drink any alcohol. You know your alcohol tolerance is extremely low." Rei warned her while helping her put on her high heels. Ayane nodded and went to stand in front of the mirror. She didn't look like her usual self and it was kind of a refreshing sight. Rei helped her to the car and she drove to the Ritz-Carl

Ayane told Rei about the party and she picked a gown for Ayane to wear. While Ayane and Rei were preparing the outfit, the twins barged in on them. They were playing tag with each other that they didn't see how busy their mother was. Ayane looked at the both of them and laughed. She caught Kotaro in her arms as he ran away from Kayda."I got you!" Ayane said while planting kisses on Kotaro's cheeks. Kayda stopped and clung to her mother's leg. Ayane looked at her and she looked like she wanted to join in. Ayane picked her up and planted kisses on her as well. The twins were having fun with their mother which made them happy. They always spend every second together whenever their mother is around. Ayane also tried to be involved with the twins as much as possible but it was difficult for her at times since she has a company to run."Mommy, do we have… a daddy?" Kotaro asked out of the blue which caught Ayane off guard. She carried them to the bed and put them dow

Ryuji pulled up in front of the Kamenaga house. It was the day of their flight to Tokyo. He promised to pick up Ayane and here he was, waiting outside for her. He walked up to the front door and was about to ring the doorbell when the door flew open, revealing a panting Ayane. 

The next morning, Ayane, Ryuji and the twins were supposed to go back to Osaka. Ayane called Rei to send over the private jet for a faster flight. She needed to get back to Osaka since she’s been gone for a few days. Rei had been filling in for her at the company but there were some matters that needed her attention. The twins woke up bright and early; waking up their parents who were still fast asleep.
