shock to you, so you can understand how surprised I was to learn just recently that I had an identical twin.”
Monica, hearing what Kiyomi said, had already silently surmised which caused her to place her hand over her mouth again as a single tear slid down her cheek. “We are not trying to upset you, but we do need your help. I just found out three months ago that I have a twin sister. We were separated at birth. When we were born and our mother realized that she was dying and did not want our father, who at that time was not the most honorable man, to get custody of us. Our mother made a pact with her two best friends and they both agreed to take one of us but they were sworn to secrecy. If our father knew that he had twins , he would’ve taken both of us. My father threatened my adoptive mother with jail time for knowingly and fraudulently signing adoption documents. He threatened to sue her personally and do bodily harm if she did not turn over his daughter to him. Once the adoption was final, my sister’s adoptive mother immediately moved away . I am not sure how it is that my father never knew I had a twin. We stumbled upon the information just a few weeks ago.”
Kiyomi turned to look at Takeo giving him a slight smile. She redirected her attention back to Monica. “In a perfect world, Ms. Thomas, I would have contacted my sister and flown to the states for a happy reunion. But I don’t live in a perfect world. Ms. Thomas, may I call you Monica?” Monica sat in the chair numb from everything that was going on but she could not take her eyes off of the woman who owned the same face as her best friend.
“Uhh, yes, please call me Monica.”
“Monica, as you are aware, I am the Vice President of International Affairs for this company. My father, who is a silent partner, owns the majority of the shares only second to his business partner and lifelong friend, Yoshi Yamada. My father has been diagnosed with cancer and does not have long to live. We received information,” she said as she turned to Takeo. “Once my father passes, that Mr. Yamada plans to gain full control over this company, at all cost. Both my father and Mr. Yamada are powerful dangerous men and their relationship has been strained over the last several years. I believe if I tell my father and he confirms my suspicions, he will have Mr. Yamada and anyone involved killed. I also believe, if Mr. Yamada finds out that we know of his plan, he may feel cornered into killing not only my father but my half sister and me as well. My sister has been very sheltered throughout her life and while she works for the company, she is not aware of our family’s dealings and just how powerful and dangerous our father is and would not understand how this situation could become volatile.” Kiyomi stood and walked over to the window then continued. “If an all-out war is started between my father and Mr. Yamada it will be detrimental to the stability of our company. We need to handle this situation as delicately as possible and we need your help to do that.”
Monica heard every word but was confused as to how she could help, she didn’t know anyone involved in the situation. “I’m confused. How can I help?” Monica asked as she continued to stare at Kiyomi. “My father’s will states that when he dies, all of his company shares are to be distributed equally among his heirs but if at the time of his death, if he has no heirs, the stock will revert back to Mr. Yamada. I’m afraid if it is known that there is another heir that she may also be in danger. This is where your help is needed. You see, Monica, we just found out that we are expecting.” She looked over at Takeo and smiled again. “While my father is very sick, he’s still a very powerful man and may take issue to me having an affair and getting pregnant out of
