Hey guys!

I've decided to continue the story You're Mine because I love it so much and I've been working on it the past months along with The Alpha King. But I'm currently using my Mac and I saw that the chat stories are not available in the mangatoon website but only on the app. So I made the choice to transfer the story into a novel. I also changed the title but the content will still be the same.

And since I couldn't open the chat story on my Mac, I'll be retyping everything that's been uploaded on the chat story so the first episodes will be uploaded slowly.

Mitsuki Tomaru's POV

"Miss Mitsuki? Miss Mitsuki where are you? Your mother is going to get mad again if you don't show up right now!" called repeatedly by our maid, Baba as she frantically looked for me.

"Baba-sama is really fun to annoy! Her frantic voice is just like music to my ears!" I giggled as I tried to hold my laugh and be silent.

I'm just thirteen years old and I really like escaping from this mansion and go wonder around!

It's been countless times that I got lost but that served as my lesson to familiarize the places around the town and learn about the secret passages I used to escape from this mansion.

My dad and mom gave me too much freedom. Or more like they're just too busy to give a care about what I do.

Well it's not like I hold grudges against them. I love my carefree parents a lot. And who else would I get my attitude from?

My mom is a housewife who likes to organize everything at home. Well, most of what she does is the flower arranging and socializing with other rich women in the society.

While my dad, is always out of the country. Working non-stop for weeks, meeting directors and many more which is beyond my comprehension. 

But honestly, I adored him for that.

My dad took me once when I was six years old at his work place. My memory is vague but I remembered how everything there feels like fairy tail with all the glitters and shimmers. And also papers, lots of papers.

Everyone's so busy and I found that really fascinating. But dad stopped taking me there when we migrated, he said that he was too busy now.

I admit, I'm a little upset because he didn't have much time for us now. He spends too much of his time now at work.

Nevertheless, I still really want to become like him one day, a successful business woman!

But now that I am restricted to go in my dad's office, I decided that I will just find my own journey now!

Until it was the time that I first met him...

It was a sunny day, yet the breeze was blowing hard that it cools dry my damp skin.

I could never forget that day.

I was on my way to escape the mansion when suddenly I bumped into a guy.

[Insert pic]

I don't know if it was just the brightness of the sun or there's a problem with my eyes but I really saw him shining before my eyes!

He has a fair white skin and he also has slightly sharp eyes that made him look strict, he's taller than me and it seems that he's older too.

And the way he's looking at me, I feel like I'm going to melt any minute now.

"I'm sorry"

He said with his maturing voice. It seems that he didn't really notice me based on how shocked he is at the impact. But he quickly recovered and just stared at me.

"It's fine" I replied as I feel my cheeks starting to heat up.

Gosh! He looks so hot!

It's rare to see guys like him here but my journey is far more important so I left him then and there.

But who is that guy? And how did he get inside of our estate?

Oh whatever, it's not like I really care.

Or so I thought...

I headed straight to the forest that is still part of the territory of Tomaru estate. That's the route I have to take in escaping without any guards noticing me.

A few more mintues of walking, I kept taking left and right turns to avoid some bushes until I reached the giant wall fence.

I prepared a ladder before time so it's not a problem anymore.

This wall is the end of hundreds of hectares of the Tomaru Estate. And behind this, is the highway that leads to the city.

But the thrill starts only from here! One ride from the bus and you'll see a market stalls which you can find anything, from different things like house wares to different kinds of food which is sold by the kind people from nearby town. This market is also connected to many restaurants and mini shops. There are a lot of stalls which stretches a few meters away that is full of people buying.

"Oh Suki! Are you alone again today?" The ice cream vendor asked.

"Yeah!"

"You're still very young but already independent! Here's your favorite."

"Thanks!" I said as I handed her the payment.

A cheap price for a very delicious treat!

After I strolled around the place, I went to my favorite convenience store where everything is already there.

The smoothies, junk foods, and books! In front of the store was a playground where a lot of kids are biking and some are doing skateboard exhibitions. There is also a basketball court where there a guys playing which is very entertaining to watch!

And all of these were the major reasons why I choose to escape the estate everytime. But I would comeback immediately after I've satisfied myself. I love the atmosphere outside our giant walls but I know that I'm still a teenager and I can't afford to put myself in danger if something happens.

But that was the last time that I went there happily because when I came back at the estate...

"Oh no! I took so long wondering at the park that I lost track of time. Mom is going to get mad at me if she sees me coming home just now." I said worriedly as I tried to hide on one of the pillars of our house.

"But why is no one around? Oh my! What if they knew that I've been gone all day and my mom sent them to look for me? I don't want to get grounded!"

I went immediately to the master's bedroom where my mom is probably at to say sorry. But before I could even open the door, I heard someone crying.

And I'm very sure that it was my mom. I went inside and saw her crying on the floor.

"Mom what happened?"

"Suki, sweetie.."

She stopped speaking as she starts crying hard again. I have never seen her cry like this. My mom is a very strong woman who never shows her tears. This is what she taught me before as well. A woman needs to be strong for her husband and her children.

But now.. I don't understand what's happening. And it's hurting me seeing her like this.

"What's wrong mom?"

My tears start dripping too.

She caressed my hair as she continues to cry. Then she told me something that made my world crumble...

"Suki, you father is dead."

I was really shocked. Then my mom explained that he got a heart attack while he's on his way to Peru. My mind went blank at all that happened and it's like my brain can't process everything that she's saying to me. Then my tears just bursted and I can feel my chest hurting as I repeatedly called for my dad.

I didn't leave the house for how many weeks after that day. I didn't want to leave the house knowing that my mom will be alone with the maids and guards. I know she's very lonely and grieving from our loss. I just don't wanna leave her on that condition. We try so hard to move on but it's hard...

Mitsuki Tomaru's POV

Months had passed since we mourned from our loss. Mom started to do flower arranging again. But I can still see her looking at dad's picture everyday.

While me... after many months of staying in our house I decided to finally go out again. I visited the same market, and as usual it's packed with lots of people making buzzling noises.

But I feel like something is different, is this place really like this? Why is it before, everytime I come here all of my problems and worries vanish? Before, I get so giddy whenever I hear the buzzling noises coming from the people, it makes me feel free.

Why doesn't it make me feel that way now? I still can remember the pain of losing my dad.

I wanna see him one more time...

In the middle of the market where there are lots of people passing by, I sat on the floor crying.

Someone went to me and asked me if I'm lost, where my parents are. But I didn't answer anyone, I just continued to cry.

When I'm done from my usual escape. I went home and what waits for me was the start of this story.

The interlude of my hell.

As I came back, there were four black cars in front of our mansion. I went inside to know what is happening.

I went inside and I saw my father's bodyguards, they were the exact faces I saw before with their sunglasses on.

But why are they here?

"Oh Suki dear, finally you're here."

"I'm sorry for coming late mom." I said with politeness.

I am still a daughter of a conglomerate after all, even if I'm like this.

"Sit down, sweetie."

I sat down across her. Still wondering what could be the reason her father's bodyguards were all here.

"Suki, pay attention here."

She said as she saw me looking at the bodyguards. I can't help but to stare at them.

I mean, they look like walls surrounding us.

"What's the meaning of this mom?"

"I'll go straight to the point. You're going to marry the man who will succeed the Tomaru Empire."

Huh? What did she just say?

"Come again mom.. MARRY?!"

"Are you becoming senile? Yes, I said marry."

"Wait! Before that, succeed the Tomaru Empire? I thought I will be the one who will succeed it?" I raised my voice angrily.

"Yes, once you're both married. And don't you raise your voice at me Mitsuki Tomaru."

I stood up.

"I'm sorry mom but I think your decision is just way too absurd."

"Oh really?"

She looked at me with her sarcastic look.

Well that's my mom.

"Yes and you can't force me!" I shouted and tried to runaway.

But before I could even get to the door...

"This was your dad's last wish."

I stopped but I didn't bother to look back, I started to run again.

What kind of shit is this? You just died and now you want me to be married to a total stranger?

I was not looking at my way because I'm too lost with my thoughts when I bumped into someone.

"Sorry."

I looked at the person who said that, and to my surprise it's him again. The hot guy I saw days ago.

Wait I don't have time to fantasize someone right now.

"Miss, are you okay?"

He asked me after seeing my face that is drenched with tears.

My tears just keeps on flowing. I'm so pathetic!

He then lead me outside to the garden. He stayed with me until I'm alright. Well, all I did was burst all my thoughts and resentment to him. I told a lot of things about the guy they want to me to marry, about mom, and my dad... I felt bad saying this but...

While him, he just listened at everything I said and when I stopped taking, that's when he opened his mouth and told me some advice.

The entire time we were together he made me feel so at ease. I don't know but, he's giving me a different feeling that I cannot explain.

Anyway, I still don't know what his name is and more importantly what is he doing inside our estate? Again?

Oh my! What if he's a burglar?! A handsome burglar?!

I looked at him and he just stared back at me. Then I finally asked him...

"Are you a burglar?"

His facial expression was priceless! He was so shocked at what I asked. His mouth hanged open.

Then he snorted.

Am I wrong? Damn! This is embarrassing!

"Did I guess it wrong?"

He just gave me a slight smile.

"Maybe."

What a mysterious guy.

But before he can explain himself further, the bodyguards spotted us. I planned to run away from them but he held my hand.

At first, I thought that he was going to take me away from here like a Prince Charming...

Well, I was wrong. Because he pushed me towards the bodyguards!

What the...?!

The guards then got a hold of me... and I looked back at him to know if he was seriously handing me to the guards. And as I looked at him... he's grining maniacly!

My fantasies for him didn't last long because of that. Instead, I kept thinking why he did that and who the hell is he really!

I was so worried about a petty thing that time, that I didn't thought of the greater problem that lies before me.

I was thirteen and I met him, my great nemesis.

"Oh my, Takumi! Where did you run off to the other day? I thought you can finally meet my daughter yesterday. Don't tell me you were influenced by just observing her."

There's no mistake, that's my mom.

I am at the staircase when I heard my mom and a guy talking.

"Aunt Kyoko, don't be like that. You know that she just likes to explore a lot. Knowing how curious teenagers can be at that age."

Said by a guy whose voice is so familiar.

I'm sure of it. It's that guy!

I ran downstairs to see if I guessed right.

Thus I saw him...

A guy with a handsome face who was about 3 years older than me. The guy who comforted me yet gave me away to my bodyguards.

My fiancé, the one who will succeed my dad and the thief who took everything from me...
