Third POV:

"Young Master!" screamed Juliet. "Facing them upfront would be so dangerous!"

As quick as a thunder, William Arima hugged her but he was definitely more surprised to feel the old him in that hug that she eventually called him in the name he tried to eradicate. "Kousei..."

"I wanted to prove to my grandfather that I am different from my old self already but I can't. I can never change if you keep hanging on me so, trust me, Juliet."

"Kou... sei..." cried Kaori.

William hugged her more and told her, "Please, do trust me. This is the only way. If they don't have me, they will kill me. They want me to face them that is why they haven't yet sent an assassin to kill me."

"BUT...."

When they already entered Chairman Nakiri Ryuu's domain, he was very surprised to see him seating relaxed and happy. "Finally, you've entered my mansion, my dear nephew."

William Arima just stood there while his secretaries and bodyguards stood behind him. Of course, he was surprised to be called a nephew by an uncle whom he never knew until now and so, he felt uncomfortable in his presence.

Nakiri Ryuu is a noble man with black hair and small eyes. Most of all, he's very stylish in his business clothes. The inside of the room is truly magnificent but he is actually sitting on a smaller white couch in front of them while there are other white couches side by side so that everyone who was there will be able to sit.

In front of him is another smaller, white couch where William Arima could sit. Behind Nakiri Ryuu is his loyal secretary who told them to comfortably sit down while they were given red wine.

"How old are you now, Kou... sei?" he asked him.

Calling him with that name made him angrier and so, he drank the wine painfully.

He doesn't know how he knew that name. "Are you surprised that I called you with that name?" asked Nakiri Ryuu.

He stared at him sharply and told him, "You do know my business here. I don't need to tell you whatever it is."

"Ahhh... the long time feud that affected your parents? My sister and your father? Don't worry about it, the revenge for it has long been finished. Your job is to enter my premises and join forces with us," he snickered at him.

"How can I believe that? My life has been full of lies," he told him.

"The secretary behind me, do you know who he is, Ms. Juliet? You don't need to hide behind your black glasses, Kaori. I know the truth that you're still alive," he told her that surprised William.

Juliet took off his black glasses and stared at the man behind him. She was definitely surprised. The man behind him is Nakiri Ono. Her uncle is present in that meeting.

"Why don't you tell your boyfriend that you're a Nakiri? No... you aren't true Nakiris anyway. Is that why you're keeping it yourself? Most of all, do you think your uncle is actually loyal to his mother so much? Most of all, do you think I would hurt my only nephew and kill him like the other Arimas believe?" he told her.

He stood up and faced William more closely and told them, "I am not the enemy. Why do you think your mother told you in that book she gave you not to trust anyone but yourself? The reason? Businessmen are crocodiles. More on, politicians are sharks pretending to be humans but luckily, I am not one of them nor your immediate family. It was our plan to stop the senseless feud eventually at their time but my parents learned too fast about their relationship and separated them."

The current atmosphere went really heavy. Thomas couldn't say anything while Kaori was surprised to see William smiling and asked him, "Do you think I'll believe you?"

Ryuu snickered and laughed a bit, "You don't trust me. That is what Arima Aina instilled on you, am I right?" he sighed. "Takahiko and your grandfather already knows the truth. They know the identity of the real person who wants you killed."

"What do you mean?" asked William.

"If you die, who do you think would benefit the most? Me? No. I took vengeance against those that made my sister unhappy. Your father doesn't even know the reason of the feud. No. The descendants of Arima Shuusuke never knew the reason since it was kept as a secret. Our ancestors created a joint company long before but Arima Shuusuke, the Chairman, decided to separate the two companies that started the long time feud. That is also why we were angry, us, their descendants who wanted to end it as it is already useless but it seems until now, one of the Arimas cannot accept your existence at all," Nakiri Ryuu told them.

"Sir... do you think we'll easily believe you?" Thomas told him.

"Ahhh... Thomas... I know you. You're my sister's spy, am I right?" he asked him. "I don't need to be the one to reveal the truth to him that his mother survived!"

"Enough! We're leaving!" shouted William. He quickly stood up but he was stopped by Ono.

"The moment you try not to believe me, you're as good as dead and my revenge for your parents goes for nothing. You know you're the key. You are also the heir of the joint company.  Your grandpa and I joined forces already," Ryuu told him.

"Do they really know?" he asked him.

"Why don't you ask Thomas?" Ryuu answered him.

Thomas flinched beside Kaori.

Kaori took off her glasses and stared at him. "It's time for you to choose. Us or Arima Aina?"

"Of course. I am a secret agent of Mrs. Park Tae Hee or Mrs. Arima Saki but I am also an agent of Arima Takahiko to protect William 'Kousei' Arima. Last of all, I am never an agent of Arima Aina but through William's orders to secretly look after the agents of Arima Aina, I learned a shocking truth," he told all of them.

Of course, Watari is very much stunned to be in a dangerous world and that's when he realized why Kousei hid his existence and faked his death. Tears fell down his eyes bitterly. He is with them through Aina's orders and he couldn't believe what kind of situation Kousei has already. He is too stunned and hurt to see his old friend in a very difficult position.

Thomas stared at him and he slowly told them a more painful truth that could endanger his life as long as he keep staying beside Kousei. "It could have been bad if I didn't find you there, Ryota. No... It had been really bad that you are with us. I have chosen to always stay beside the Nakiris and Arimas until the key opens the new door. Choose. Us. or her?"

William couldn't listen anymore and so, he took off his suit and told Ryuu, "That's enough. I believe you now."

After that, he firmly looked at Watari and continued talking. "Watari Ryota, you may be an old friend of mine but we're not high schoolers anymore. Most of all, if you dare send a resignation letter in my office in my first day in my grandpa's corporation due to an information leaked at you, I'll just tear it all up. You don't need to choose," he stood up and yelled at him, "You'll always stay beside me and Juliet! Wakarimasu ka???"

"This world... I know you'll need to stay beside someone who can be your eyes and ears. If you want me to be your appendages, I will be but the body should always stay strong. I'll choose a friend no matter what than someone who just asked me out without telling me who I'll be working with. Most of all, I should stay with them as your undercover agent. It seems, she doesn't know that Kousei and you are one and the same person. Will you trust me with this?" he told him as he dry his tears.

"I can't trust you with that. My official guardian is enough to track her down and find out if Nakiri Ryuu is telling the truth," he answered.

Ryuu grinned and laughed, "I wonder when you'll call me uncle."

"Ryuu-san, I can't accept you as family yet until I see mom," he told him.

"Your mom thinks the same as Arima Aina. She wants to attack me as revenge for her pitiful past," he answered him. After that, he stood up and called Ono. "Call Park Tae Hee. Tell her to come to my mansion."

Of course, Nakiri Ono followed. Arima Saki was so surprised to know that Nakiri Ono is also Nakiri Ryuu's man. "What are you doing? I told you I'll be at the sidelines!" she told him.

"Forgive me. Nakiri Ryuu knew that I'm meeting with you. More so, we learned a devastating truth. Ryuu isn't the enemy," he answered her.

President Park stared at his wife diligently and hugged her from behind. "Tae Hee, it's time for you to show up in front of your own child. I'd let you meet him."

"But..."

"Do not fear. I'll back you up."

"What about my old husband?" cried Saki.

"You'll remain as my Tae Hee no matter what."

"Showing up means bringing confusion to myself!"

"Don't hide anymore," he told him.

"I understand," over the phone, she answered Ono, "To our ancestors' mansion am I right?"

Ono smiled. "Yes."

Arima Kousei patiently waited for his mother to come. After an hour, he finally saw his mother with another man behind her.

His tears quickly came by after seeing her again. She had always been in a wheelchair in his memories but here she is in front of him, alive and healthy.

"Okaasan..." he quickly muttered.

If he had quickly recognized his own mother, Saki couldn't even remember who is Kousei between Watari and William.

"Who's...?" she asked.

Ryuu stood up from his seat and told her, "You'd had amnesia as an after effect of surviving your sickness. You couldn't even remember who among the two young men is your child."

She stared at Ryuu and told him, "I just can't remember."

Kousei was shocked to hear that from her. 

"Doshite? Okaasan... Watashi wa Arima Kousei desu!!! Watashi no namae wa William Arima desu! Okaasan... okaasan... aishiteru desu... Watashi wa anata no musuko-san!" he screamed at her.

Tears fell down his eyes and hugged her quick.

Her tears fell down too after having seen her own child. "I'm happy. "

"Okay. Stop the drama. I'm too fed up. Will you join us, Park Tae Hee and William Arima?" Ryuu asked.

"Yes," answered William.

If he had said yes, everyone was shocked when Arima Saki told them, "I can't. Takahiko must not know I am still alive."

She looked pitifully at her own son and asked for forgiveness, "I can't be with you, yet. Takahiko must know me as Park Tae Hee. Forgive me."

"I understand. It's enough that I've seen you," he told her.

"Your dreams have been fulfilled. What more do you want?" her brother asked.

"Just... Take care of him. That's all I want. Most of all, keep me as a secret to Takahiko. I don't want him to live unjustly because of me," cried Park Tae Hee.

"Wakarimasen... demo ne... Demo ne! Yamete kudasai. Anata ga Nihonjin desu! Anata wa Kankokujin deshou!" cried Ryuu.

"RYUU! Gomenasai, onii-san. Gomen," she looked straight at him with tears in her eyes until President Park came in, "This is enough. We're leaving."

"Okaasama... sayonara... eien ni."

Everyone was shocked to hear that from William, most especially, Thomas and Ono.

With the way he spoke to her, it seems, they knew for sure that William had already buried her in his heart due to disappointment and sadness.

Silence went in as the couple walked away and it continued after a few minutes. William's tears fell down silently.

"I have to leave too. I want to go back home," William announced after President Park and Arima Saki left.

After that, he walked away.

"Kousei! Kousei! Wait for us!" Miyazono Kaori told him.

All of Ryuu's guests went outside to follow Kousei who was obviously in deep pain right now after meeting with his own mother.

It was of course, Kaori who went beside him outside the mansion and asked, "Kousei... dai... jobu desu ka?"

"Leave! Leave me alone!" he told her while holding on a nearby tree while his tears are falling down. "Most of all, forget the name Kousei."

"Kousei! No matter what, you are Arima Kousei!" cried Kaori.

"Kaori, you're free now not to use the name Juliet, but I? I can never go back to become Kousei once again since my mom chose to forever die and lie to my father. She's a coward. No. She decided to forget us. I am William. Don't ever use that name to me again, I'm begging you," he told her.

Watari suddenly punched him and told him, "Aren't you being a coward just like her? You're hiding from your old friends!"

"Do you want Tsubaki to get involved in my life?" he asked him.

Watari, of course went silent. He was hiding for the sake of other's safety.

"I'll go back home with Mr. Thomas. Watari, as I believe, Arima Aina had already discharged all of them from duty after our meeting here. Even you're a friend of mine, I can't trust you fully since I went to my uncle and heard the truth. Go and cut your ties with her," he told him.

Watari obeyed and bowed. "I'll come back soon. Let's go, Kaori."

Tears painfully went down her eyes. "We'll meet again. Goodbye for now."
