New Life : A Second Chance

Sayuri gave him a quick peck on the lips and leaned back, "It was satisfying to know that she was watching. That girl is really a hard nut to crack. If telling her you're mine wasn't enough, then I've got to show her how much you are mine."

After Sayuri finished pumping, they took a quick bath then dressed up in their camouflage ninja outfit. 

As they went out of the bedroom, the dead body and bloodstains were all cleaned out.

"He's efficient," Sayuri said in admiration, nodding at the 'dead' man standing at the side.

"Of course," Kyle replied, handing him the bottles of milk, "Only the best is in my Team."

Ed, or Edward, grinned at the compliment and took the bottles like they were treasures. He would need to place them in the fridge and once cold, would be put in the thermal container for the others to bring back home. 

Edward was so glad the whole thing was over.

All the suffering he had to endure at having to be nice to Sarah had really taken a toll on him. Each time, before entering the dungeons, he had to get mentally prepared and psyche himself up.

The woman in there had tried to kill Sir's wife and his children.

It was unforgivable.

Yet, he was tasked in gaining her trust, then manipulating her to 'entice' him and set her free. It had been his really bad luck with this.

For this particular mission, they needed someone that looked innocent and naive … which was him. Edward felt Akira would have been the better fit as he was such a flirt but it was a unanimous decision amongst them.

Well, other than him, of course.

What they needed was a person who was pleasant to the eye yet gave the feeling of warmth and protection. Akira was too much of a playboy to give any sort of 'innocent' vibe. 

Edward sighed.

If only he was as cold and stoic like Zero. With his face, any girl would fall for him but he would not have been able to restrain himself from killing Sarah in a day.

Whatever it was, the one month ordeal is now finally over.

Edward watched with a smile as Sir and Madam left the house. The backpack had a tracking device sewn into it, so there was no way that they would not be able to find Sarah easily.

Plus, in the event that she was stupid enough to actually ditch the bag, the button on the clothes she wore was also a tracking device. They weren't going to leave things to chance.

Edward turned and headed towards the kitchen to keep the bottles of milk. Then, he headed towards the master bedroom to clean it. Upon entering, he stood still for a while, his face flushed red.

From the musky smell to the messy bed and ripped clothes, even if he had not known what they had been planning for Sarah, the evidence within the room was quite obvious as to what had happened. 

Luckily, the master bedroom had been soundproof a month ago. Ms. Kay had been insistent on that, saying that it would save them some nightmares. She should have warned them not to enter the bedroom until much later as well.

Edward went to open the windows. 

Maybe he should start finding a girlfriend.

Sarah ran.

She didn't know where she was going or how far she had run, but she didn't care. All she wanted to do was create a distance between her, and the building.

This place was really in the middle of nowhere, she thought.

Right after leaving, there was nothing but trees and tress, and more trees. She had thought of following the road but ditched that thought immediately. That would make it too easy for Sayuri to find her.

Hiding amongst the trees would give her a better chance of surviving, even though it was harder.

The image of the dead Ed kept playing in her mind.

Immense guilt filled her up.

He had been the one light in the dark moments since her capture, and she had caused his death. Tears came down again and she hastily wiped them away.

She was still reeling from the emotional turmoil of having to see such an X-rated movie in HD Definition, and now, she was running for her life. She stumbled for the umpteenth time, falling onto the slightly damp ground.

Where did it all go wrong?

She sobbed, her heart being twisted in such intense pain that she was even having difficulty breathing.

The worst thing was … during the 'break' between sex, Kyle and Sayuri would talk. Talk about the past, present, and future.

Talks about their current love for each other and their children together, talks about their future kids and growing old together … and talks about Kyle's past girlfriends.

Her name did come up, but not as an 'ex girlfriend'. More like, an annoyance that he wished he had gotten rid of so much earlier. If he had been more decisive then, then Sayuri wouldn't have gotten hurt.

The thought that Kyle had never placed her in his mind as someone special broke her heart. 

She didn't think her heart could break in so many ways.

The only person who had truly liked her, and taken care of her, was now dead.

Sarah heard some noises from behind and she looked, panicked, but didn't see anything. Quickly getting up, she brushed the grit from her knees and started her journey again. 

This time, she walked.

She was far enough now, so she was sure she could take it slightly slower. 

She was tired, sleepy, and mentally exhausted. 

Sarah then started looking for a good place to set up camp. She hadn't even checked the backpack yet and this would be a good time to do so. 

Sayuri watched, biding her time.
