Hello peoples!!! God, I'm really sorry the update took this long. It's because I was having my mid semester exam and it finished yesterday. I hate physics!! I got three for my exam, how shameful! xP

By the way, I want to say huge thanks for all who have reviewed this story. I really really really appreciate it. It boosts my energy to write this chapter. I can't mention all the names of the reviewers, but I have to give special thanks to those who add this story as their favorite, and they are:

You guys rock! Give a huge hug to everyone

Well, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter as much as I did. And I'm sorry if this chapter is not as long as you want. Since I'm still occupied with my scores and marks, so my feelings are still up and down. I hope you won't be too disappointed.

And for Yukito's character. I'm sorry once again, but I need a foe for this story. But, you can tell me if I have to change his name. o

So now, please just enjoy everyone!

Disclaimer: If I'm the owner of CCS characters, I won't write this story. I will be at my huge house and buy all the stuff I want. Unfortunately, I don't own them. So, I'm sitting in my little bedroom with a laptop in front of me and typing a fanfic about CCS. So, don't sue me. I don't have money to pay an attorney.

Torn Heart

"So, this is your penthouse Mrs. Li." Eriol opens the large wooden double doors.

Sakura peers inside and sees the most luxurious penthouse ever. Even more luxurious than the Hilton Hotel. The driver takes all of Sakura's suitcases and walks towards the room Eriol points to.

"Do you want to take a small tour?" Eriol asks nicely.

Sakura suddenly snaps out from her own world. "Hmm… I suppose so."

She follows Eriol around the penthouse and they finally reach the last room. There are 5 rooms total in the penthouse.

"This last room is Mr. Li's office and library."

Eriol opens the door and Sakura sees a room filled with bookshelves and a large desk on the centre. The room color is dark green. 'Maybe it's his favorite color.' Sakura thinks. She enters the room with no hesitance. The room fills with Syaoran's aura. It feels like she's surrounded by him.

"I think I have to go now, Mrs. Li. I suppose Mr. Li will be home in no time." Eriol breaks the silence.

"Ow… yes, Mr. Hiiragizawa, I'm so sorry. By the way, thank you for your kindness. You helped me a lot today." Sakura smiles.

"My pleasure Mrs. Li. You can call me Eriol if you don't mind. I'm a good friend of Mr. Li after all."

"Well then you can call me Sakura, Eriol."

"Okay, I guess I'm gonna be late to pick my girlfriend up. See you later, Sakura." Eriol says as he walks out of the room and waves goodbye to Sakura.

"Bye, take care."

Sakura looks around the room again. And when she lays her eyes on Syaoran's desk. She finds a photo frame. There are Li Wei Xiang, Syaoran and an older woman.

'Maybe it's Syaoran's mother. God, she's pretty.'

Syaoran

Syaoran takes his car key and heads outside his office.

'Eriol must have picked Sakura up and dropped her to the penthouse… hmmm… All day I have been wondering about how I acted this morning to her. Maybe I was too rude. God, if only she knew why I did that. Am I… Jealous? Why? Is it because of the fact that she refused to kiss me last night? Damn! I know she still loves her boyfriend, Yukito. And, after all, I… I haven't fallen in love with her right?' Syaoran thinks to himself as he walks to where his car is parked.

He presses the button on his car key and opens the back door. He throws his leather bag and files to the seat. Then, he moves to the front and positions himself on the driver's seat. He buckles up the seatbelt, turns the ignition on and drives his way to the Royal Tomoeda Condominium.

'Maybe I should make it up to her. It's not her fault that she refused to kiss me… I just can't force her…'

Sakura

Sakura is gazing deeply into the framed picture on her hand when suddenly her cell phone rings. She picks it up and flips it open.

"Moshi-moshi."

"Hi dear."

Sakura recognizes Yukito's voice. But strangely, she doesn't feel as much pressure like before. After all, she loves him.

"Hi Yukito. What are you doing?"

"I've just finished typing some work. So how are you sweetie? Where are you right now?"

"I'm in this new penthouse. God, it's so huge Yukito! And I'm fine." Sakura reaches for Syaoran's chair and sit herself.

Sakura can hear Yukito chuckle. "Hmm… You sound very exciting cherry blossom. Love to hear that."

"Yep, and Yukito, I'm sorry about this morning… I shouldn't have been so rude to you." Sakura's other hand plays with a pen on the desk.

"No hard feelings honey, and I'm sorry too… I was very rude."

Sakura smiles and realizes how stupid it was to even feel talking to him as a burden.

Syaoran

Syaoran turns off his engine and gets out of the car. He opens the back door to pick his bag and files. The basement looks empty for him. But, even though it's empty, it fills with expensive cars. Just like Syaoran's black convertible BMW. Syaoran walks to the elevator and pushes the up button. He waits several minutes when finally the elevator opens up. He walks in and presses fifth floor. The elevator goes up and stops at the fifth floor. He walks out of the elevator to a large wooden double door with 504 sign beside it. He swipes the door card and pushes the door slowly. He looks around to see that Sakura isn't around.

'Please don't tell me that she's going out.' Syaoran murmurs.

But then, he sees that his office's door is open. So, he walks to it and hears Sakura's voice. 'So, she's inside, I wonder what she's doing.' Syaoran peers inside to see that Sakura is talking on her cell phone. 'It must be Yukito.' He listens carefully from behind the door.

"Ow, Yukito, that's a very sweet of you… you shouldn't have to." Sakura chuckles lightly.

"No, I mean it. I have betrayed you. I married another man, and yet, you still said that." Sakura's voice becomes serious.

"Please Yukito… I'm so flattered… you're so nice… that's why I always liked you."

Syaoran has heard enough. He walks slowly to the living room and throws his bag to the floor. 'God! What's happening to me? Why am I so mad?' He sits on the couch and buries his face in his hands.

Sakura

"Please Yukito… I'm so flattered… you're so nice… that's why I always liked you."

"Please don't say that Sakura… you only make me love you even more." Yukito's voice weakens.

Sakura had made her decision. She can't live her life this way, not with a torn heart. She has to choose, Yukito, her boyfriend for like 3 years or Syaoran, her real husband.

"Listen, Yukito… I really love you, you know I always do… but, it's just…"

"Just what Sakura?"

"It's just… not right… I have a husband… I'm not supposed to do this… I have sworn to God to be faithful to my husband…" Sakura closes her eyes.

"No… please don't say that… anything but that… you can insult me Sakura, but please don't say that…I'm your real lover…" Yukito's voice weakens in every word.

"I know, I'm very sorry Yukito… you know that I'm hurt too… I'm sorry; I really am… will you forgive me?"

"Sakura… I love you… so much… you can't leave me this way… look, you're married now but we can still communicate."

Tears falling down slowly on Sakura's cheeks. "But we can't do this for the rest of our lives. You'll find someone who loves you more than I do out there, Yukito. You deserve better."

"You're the most perfect person for me, Sakura. But, if that's what you really want then, I have no other choice… God, it feels like I'm being rejected by a girl." Yukito's voice becomes desperate.

"No Yukito, a beautiful person like you deserves a beautiful lady with the kindest heart out there. And, I want to say thank you very much for everything. You have made my life more beautiful."

"You're welcome… God, I still love you Sakura… please… as soon as you change your mind, you can call me anytime."

"Thank you, but you have to move on and get yourself a fair lady. Well, I have to go Yukito, Syaoran will be home in no time." Sakura wipes her tears away with the back of her hand.

"Okay then, I love you Sakura. I'll always do."

"Bye."

Sakura closes her cell phone. It's hard to say goodbye to someone you loved. But, she has Syaoran, and he's the one she has to love and care for. Sakura gets up from the chair and walks outside the room. She'll await Syaoran in the living room. But when she reaches the living room, she sees that Syaoran is sitting on one of the couches. He looks tired.

"Syaoran, you're home already. Have you eaten dinner?"

Syaoran looks up and see Sakura. 'She looks beautiful.' He thinks. But then he remembers that she was just talking with her boyfriend, maybe that's why she looks like she's glowing.

"Syaoran?" Sakura asks worriedly. Syaoran seems to not be concentrating and she wonders what happened.

Syaoran snaps back to reality and realizes that she was talking to him.

"Hmm… well, I… no, I haven't." He shrugs.

"So why didn't you say so? I'll make something to eat. You better change your clothes and take a nice shower." Sakura smiles.

Syaoran grabs his bag and walks towards the bedroom. He doesn't even take a glance at Sakura. He's very confused. She seems very nice. 'Is that the effect of talking with her Yukito? Why do I even care?' He thinks.

Sakura

'Syaoran seems different tonight. Something is bothering him. I wonder what it is.'

Sakura opens the refrigerator door and finds nothing.

'God! There's nothing here. What should I do? Maybe I should just order it. I have to go shopping tomorrow.'

Sakura dials an Oriental restaurant and orders some foods. She also asks if they have champagnes, and luckily they have, so she orders it too. Then, she goes to the dining room to prepare the table. She takes out plates and glasses. From now on, she'll become the best wife for Syaoran. Somehow, she doesn't understand why pleasing him seems so important for her. She then hears a click sound and when she turns around; she sees Syaoran has changed his clothes. He's wearing a grey T-shirt, khaki short pants and black sandals. His wet bangs hanging on his forehead. He looks appealing for Sakura, but she quickly wipes the thoughts away.

"Syaoran, I'm sorry but there was nothing in the fridge, so I have ordered something. Are you okay with waiting?"

"No big deal." Then, Syaoran takes out a dining chair and sit himself. His eyes are staring blankly forward.

"Syaoran, can I talk to you?" Sakura sits herself besides Syaoran. Her eyes are staring, focused into Syaoran's deep amber eyes.

"About what?" He asks coldly.

"Well, I think that you're acting very different today." Sakura asks carefully. She doesn't want him to be offended.

"What do you know about me?" Syaoran gives her a very icy look.

"I… I know, I know nothing much about you… but, I can say that you're different than usual. And, that's why I… I have made my decision to know you even better… you're my husband after all… I want a happy marriage." Sakura looks down to her lap. She doesn't dare to look him in the eyes.

Syaoran is very surprised by her words. 'She… she doesn't mean that…'

"What do you mean you have made your decision? What decision?"

"I… I have told Yukito to find himself his true love. Because I know that I'm not the one for him. I'm destined to live with you, and that's why I have to know you better." Sakura's voice weakens.

"God, I'm… I… well; I don't know what to say… I thought that we would live this way… with you communicating with him secretly." Syaoran feels like he loses his words.

"You… you know about my conversation? Well, I can't be mad at you, you're my husband."

"Well, I guess I'm happy now, no, I'm relieved. I mean, Sakura I… I… maybe I have feelings for you." Syaoran's face becomes red. He feels very awkward, but he has to tell her.

"I… Syaoran I… maybe I have too… well, we only have to grow it, right?" Now, Sakura feels braver to look in his eyes. And yet, he's staring at her also.

They're both staring at each other for several seconds. Suddenly, their heads move forwards and they're only several inches away. Sakura closes her eyes and then she feels Syaoran's lips touching hers. It feels so great that she even doesn't mind it. They keep kissing each other when suddenly the door bell rings. They immediately pull their heads and smile to each other. Syaoran's hand touches Sakura's cheek.

"Well, I guess I have to take the meals. You just wait here." Sakura says brightly. Syaoran nods. Sakura then leaves to get the meals.

'I kissed her… she kissed me… she didn't even resist… does she…' Syaoran's thinking to himself when suddenly Sakura appears with bags of meals in her hands.

"Syaoran…"

"Hmmm… yes?" Syaoran snaps back to reality. When he sees Sakura with bags in her hands, he hurriedly gets off the chair and helps her.

"Gosh, you ordered meals for how many people? It's too much Sakura…"

"It's for both of us, and since I'm very hungry." Sakura replies shyly.

"You can eat me later…" Syaoran teases her. He kisses her head lightly.

"I believe I can save my stomach for it Mr. Li." Sakura giggles.

Syaoran takes her waist and pulls her closer to his body.

"Syaoran, you made my clothes dirty with the sauce." Sakura pretends to scold him.

"That's my intention." He smirks naughtily.

"Why you naughty boy!" Sakura pulls his head and kisses him slowly. They lose their selves in each other's embraces. They don't know that somewhere out there, a heart was broken. Sakura is no longer having her heart torn. She has chosen which path she has to walk in. And that path is with Syaoran, her husband.
