Fic done by: Cult_Kagome and Sesshomru

~Normal Pov~

Technically, the trophy wife and the rich aristocrat have absolutely no love lost between them. The practical minds of both parties are conjoined only by the blatant fact that their marriage is co-beneficial. The sacred vows of eternal love evolved to something superficial as words of promise became empty words that fell onto deaf ears. Fake smiles of love plastered on the 'couples' faces and the misinterpreted sparkle of everlasting love and affection brought about cheers of joys at the union of the model couple of the century. As the very last of the numerous guests is ushered out, the 'loving' couple's faces are immediately schooled back into the usual cold, calculating expression.

Ah... what a perfect scenario of the union of the materialistic couple. It would be pretty much unbelievable otherwise.

As we all know, the interference of irony can even make the impossible, possible. It would not be in the least astonishing that it could make the unbelievable, believable.

Wiping her face clean of perspiration with perfectly manicured hands, Kagome dusted imaginary lint off her sundress; her face schooled into an expression of serenity, exuding grace like no other. Her unimpeachable appearance kept her anxiety and excitement exceptionally well hidden.

Kagome's heart was thumping loudly, the sound almost resonating in her ears. It was almost 6 months since she left. She missed him to the extent that she felt like she would just die if she did not see him. Being a top model, Kagome had to travel extensively. That, was one of the prospects of being a top model she used to love. It was only after she realized she had been falling for the cold, stoic and devilishly gorgeous hunk of a businessman. And the love of her life, the object of her adoration was called Sesshomaru.

Kagome still remembered the day she married to him. Oh how she used to hate the marriage. She never did love Sesshomaru then. In fact, she used to hate him with a heated passion that could rival the burning flames of hell and make the devil cower in hear of its ferocity. She always thought him as a heartless jerk, a sadistic bastard, a man that possessed such menace that it disgusted her. She thought him as the origin of every horrible thing in life. He quenched her fiery spirit ruthlessly with threats that could shame the most malevolent and scheming man alive. He controlled her using every trick in the book, whipping her with hurtful comments almost every minute of her life. But no matter how he tried, he could not seem to break her.

Those were dark times when Kagome, one of the most empathetic, kind and pure being, cursed and swear at his existence. She did not know how she managed to fall in love with him with his cruelty and all. Though, it was most probably due to the way he treated sweet little Rin. Though his stoic façade never faded, she could see the love shining in his eyes when he looked at his little angel, see the gentleness he teemed with when talking to her, see that he did everything he could in exchange for her well-being, her future. It was then did she start to fall asleep whispering 'good nights' with love in her eyes, instead of burning hatred or absolute coldness.

It was two years since their marriage. He seemed to care for her gradually as time passed. The hurtful remarks that were now non-existent, the softening of his golden orbs and the way he relaxed around her gave her hope that maybe he did love her. Eyes brightening at the up-lifting track of thoughts, she silently unlocked the back gate and it opened without so much of a creak

She was going to surprise him today with her early arrival. Or at least she hoped he would be surprised and hopefully delighted as well. Letting out a sigh of happiness, Kagome silently made her way towards the lavish bedroom. As she neared her destination, Kagome heard a long, guttural moan. Coming to the hasty conclusion that Sesshomaru had injured herself, she violently flung open the mahogany doors.

(A/N): I know I know... this scene is way typical right? But, I always wanted to write a story about this so yeah...

~Kagome's Pov~

To think I love that bastard... to think I thought HE LOVED ME!!! How... how could he do this to me... why...?

The sight of Sesshomaru and the... the WHORE on his bed rutting like dogs in heat was enough to make her gag. Worst still, they haven't even noticed me!!!

Oh god... I must be strong... I must NOT cry... ok... take a deep breathe... and let it all out.

'WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME ARE YOU DOING SESSHOMARU!!!!'

Oh... he finally came out of his lust-induced stupor... great, just bloody brilliant. Maybe he could tell me what he is fucking thinking right now.

~Normal Pov~

Kagome's violent outburst shocked Sesshomaru and his whore out of their throws of passion.

Jerking his head around, Sesshomaru found Kagome standing there, looking decidedly enraged.

'Greetings Kagome. Have you had a pleasant trip? I thought you weren't coming back until next month? Nevertheless, if you don't mind, I'm currently very busy right now. You would do me a great favor by inviting yourself out of the room.'

The frigid tone of his voice shook Kagome to her very core.

*How could he be so heartless...? Does he not... love me at all? How... could he...*

Tears streaming in a continuous flow, Kagome tried in vain to dispel the shaky note her voice took.

'What..? Sess... Sess, why..?'

'Do not question me woman. I was prepared for this day; it really is a pity you took so long to discover Kagura here. You were just as stupid as a thought. To think you thought I love you. Do not overestimate yourself bitch. The divorce papers are in my room in the second drawer. You just need to sign your name and you can pack whatever belongings you own and get your filthy self out of here. Oh, and one more thing, I will have ten million deposited into your bank account by tomorrow morning. I trust that is more than enough.'

Shocked at how menacing, how calculating the love of her life... no wait, the once love of her life sounded, Kagome felt her heart shattering with every word he said. Not wanting to disgrace herself by engaging into an entirely fruitless argument with the arrogant son of a bitch, Kagome took one last look at the adulterous couple, her face engraved with utter grief and despair, she whispered her last words to him before fleeing the scene.

A/N: I decided not to end it with a cliffhanger though I know this may lose me some readers... but it's ok... cause I really do not like cliffhangers when I read a fic... hehe... get's me too anxious... I'll try to avoid as many cliffhangers as I can but if you all want me to write the ening with a cliffhanger, do tell!!!!
