Waiting For Your Confession

Chapter 1 [The Girl Who Has Been In His Heart All The Time, Is Me!?]

After raining for half a month, today finally ushered in some good weather. Sana looked up towards the sky and saw a clear blue, as if it had been thoroughly washed clean. The wind was refreshing, and the sun beautiful; it looks like any word that described good weather could be used today.

It was a fine day, totally different from when they got married. She remembered that when she had married Chou Tzuyu, a great thunderstorm had been raging outside. The thunderous lightning was loud and booming, and it made her feel like the apocalypse was close at hand. It was her most profound memory of the day.
　　
"Sister-in-law, I really think you should be the one to put it in." Yoo Jeongyeon, Chou Tzuyu's best friend, pushed the funerary casket towards her.
(Note: funerary casket as in like an urn of ashes. Not the caskets that contain the entire body. The caskets used here are like ornamental boxes.)

Sana looked at the 'casket' Jeongyeon held. It was supposed to be her former husband Chou Tzuyu's casket. But Sana knew that the ashes it contained weren't Chou Tzuyu's because he died in a plane crash. His plane exploded while flying through the Pacific Ocean, and its pieces crashed down into the water's depths. Three months have already passed, but a single piece of wreckage had yet to be recovered.

"That...what's inside it?" Sana's voice was raspy and small.

"It has the things Tzuyu treasured the most. Did you want to see?" Jeongyeon ruefully smiled then placed the box in her hands, "Maybe you'll find a few of them familiar."

Sana didn't understand what Jeongyeon was trying to imply. She raised her head to look at him in puzzlement, but Jeongyeon had already turned and left. In the end, Sana had to bring the box to the back of the tombstone herself. Behind the tombstone was a small square hole for the ashes to be buried. On each side of the small opening were staff members in charge of the burial, their faces cold, as if they would immediately fill in the hole as soon as Sana put the box down.

Sana crouched down, her palm stroking the dark grey casket. It was a simple design, with no extra ornamentation. It was just like the man called Chou Tzuyu Just like their five-year marriage.

Before marrying Chou Tzuyu, Sana didn't have much of an image of him. She knew that Chou Tzuyu was a child the Chou family brought in from the outside. Some people speculated that he was the illegitimate son of Chou Yi Tian, and was brought in only due to the fact that there were no male sons to inherit the family business. It was also said that Chou Yi Tian was deeply in love with a girl during his college days. They married and had Chou Tzuyu, but were eventually forced by his Father, Grandpa Chou to split up.

For Sana, these rumors were nothing but idle gossip, so she never considered them seriously. Other than that, the only interaction she had with Tzuyu before their marriage was an occasional polite nod when they happened to cross each other in a reception or a party.

Sana was the only daughter of the Minatozaki family. Because of her delicate and weakened body, Mrs. Minatozaki could no longer get pregnant after she had given birth to Sana. But the Minatozaki husband and wife pair had always been quite loving. Even when they could no longer have a son, their feelings towards each other never diminished. They would also never make their sole daughter unhappy. Sana never liked to do business, so anyone in the whole city that marrying Minatozaki Sana would equal to essentially getting the entire Minatozaki Group.

The Minatozaki couple had always joked that they would have to sift through millions of willing bachelors when the time came for Sana to marry, but they never could have imagined that one day, they would have no choice but to marry off Sana to Chou Tzuyu.

Almost six years ago, Minatozaki Father invested in Taiwan's investment project. But due to a sudden change in Taiwan's policies that restricted foreign trade and investment, Father Minatozaki's investment immediately lost value with billions of funds going down the drain. The Minatozaki Group's stock sharply dropped, the company's capital chain broke, and the bank continuously pressured them for their rising debts. Just when Father Minatozaki was about to declare bankruptcy, Chou Tzuyu suddenly came to their home.
