Mr Daichi Haruno was extremely mad when he heard about the attack on his daughter at the disco. He knew why his daughter was targeted and blamed himself. As a heiress of such a rich company, she was often made the target for ransoms. He asked Sasuke as he descended down the stairs with his secretary, "Sasuke, why did you let her go?"
"Haruno-sama, Sakura-san requested me to let her go. I accepted to go with her."
"You could have told me that she was demanded to go."
"I made a mistake. Sorry, sir."
"Ah dear, don't be sad. Its fine. Thank you for saving my daughter."
Sasuke nodded his head in respect. Daichi's secretary chimed in, "Well, Daichi-san, you don't need to worry. Sasuke is quite capable of protecting your daughter."
"Yes I know. That is reason why I entrusted my daughter in his care. Sakura is the most important person in my life after her mother passed." Daichi's eyes became glazed as he was reminiscing his past. Seeing such a look on his face, his secretary intervened, "Daichi-san, I think Sakura must remain careful now. The gang will try to take revenge once again because Sasuke killed the younger brother of the gang leader."
"Ah yes. I think so too. Sasuke, you will stay with Sakura all the time now."
Sasuke nodded in agreement.
Inside the Haruno Manor,
"Forehead, stop pacing around. It is giving me a headache."
With a huff, Sakura sat down on her bed, "Ino, I am not faking my feelings. I love him."
"Are you mad, don't be a fool, Sak. What will happen when your father knows about it?
"I am mad? What is wrong in it?
"Sakura, its wrong to play this game. Its wrong to deceive someone. It is very wrong to fall in love like this."
"I love him."
"But he doesn't love you, he loves Saki."
"Sometimes I wish I was Saki."
"The go and tell him right now. More than losing Saki, the fact that you are Saki will hurt him more. Sakura, Sasuke looks up to your father like a God."
Sakura looked at her blankly, Ino continued, "When he knows that you are Saki, he will simply hand you over to your dad. Thats why the sooner you end this game, the lesser you will be hurt."
When she saw Sakura looking at her with hurt in her eyes, she laid a hand on her shoulder and squeezed her shoulder as a way of assurance.
"And do you think he loves you."
"Love might be a strong word but I think he atleast likes me."
On the other other side of the house,
Sasuke's phone started ringing. Naruto called out his name, "Ne ne teme, your phone is ringing. Take your 'mystery girl's' address.Hahahaha."
Sasuke came rushing inside to receive his call, "Hey."
"Hi Sasuke-kun."
"So why are you calling so early in the morning?"
"I couldn't sleep last night."
"Me too."
"Sasuke-kun, I want to meet you."
The prospect of meeting Saki made Sasuke excited, "Today?"
"No, not today."
"When?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Hold on, let me confirm from Sakura-san."
Sakura put her phone down on mute and took out her laptop to pretend that she was studying when Sasuke entered her room.
"Yes Sasuke?"
"Sakura-san, do you have somewhere to go tomorrow?"
"No. Why?"
"I...umm..have to go see a doctor...for headache. But if you have some special program, I can go later."
"Its fine. You can go."
As soon as Sasuke left the room, Sasuke took out his phone and continued the call, "I got the permission. Where do you want to meet"
"Summer Park, 5 pm."
"Hn"
"And don't bring Sakura along."
"I can't even tell her. She is nice. She gave me the permission."
"Fine. Then tomorrow 5 pm." With this, Sakura ended the call.
Meanwhile, Daichi's enemies were formulating a plan through which they could take revenge on him. Their main target was his daughter, Sakura. The younger brother of the gang leader was killed during the fight at the disco so he was seeking vengeance on Mr.Haruno. They decided to carry out their plan the next day and set their plan in motion.
