Chapter 17：Alone

Even though not everything was 100% in our lives we still made it.

I own my own bakery, a second shop opening soon, a client base of over 9000 people, my heart still is still broken.

I…

Over the years it's been hard, I refused help from my family, I only asked my twin to father my children and he has been doing a great job but I feel sorry for him.

He is working so hard like now today my children are turning 18 soon and he is still working.

I never asked him is it too much on him but I can see it, he really is working hard.

His boyfriend and I worry about him and coming to Yoshino is just an excuse, I want my brother to rest because he hasn't done anything for himself for over 18 years because of me.

(Sigh)

But that is not really an excuse, Yoshino has been suffering over the years and I know, he was horrible to me but you won't be able to understand how he is unless you've been with him.

I've made it out to be that he is weak and all but that is not true.

But I don't want you to hear about that so let's stick to my story for now.

----

Like I said my children and I have are well off, not rich, not poor, we have lived through hardships that I mentioned and others that I did not mention.

My business grew and we grew also.

After the mess that happened with the coach, Yoshino decided to stop playing sport and started helping others with maths and went into accounting in high school and is working part-time at my twins company.

Yoshiro, loves problem solving and is working at a programming company part-time, after school, he will be studying programming and will become a programmer.

Yoshiyuki takes after me, after splitting with her group of friends, she started helping around with the baking and now she is my right-hand man.

A few years ago, three to be exact I dreamt that I'd be alone, my children would be grown and leave me behind, so I schemed with Misaki.
