"Played by Faith" Chapter 6

Why the Faith is Played

"What?! There must have been a mistake! They couldn't do it, could they? I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Li Wei Xiang's voice echoes through his office's wall. His right hand is gripping the phone tightly. Anger rising in his body.

"Damn! They ruin our plan. So, what should we do next? What? Really? Are you sure this time? Well… yeah, I have to discuss it with my son first… don't worry, he'll obey me. Ok then, bye."

'Damn! Why did the American Company cancel their deal with Fujitaka? It ruined my entire well built plan. I must tell Syaoran now. We have to make another plan.' Li Wei Xiang thinks to himself.

Li Wei Xiang takes the phone and dials his son's number. He waits several minutes until his son's voice fills the air.

Syaoran

Li Syaoran is hugging his wife tightly when suddenly his cell phone rings. He moves his hand slightly from Sakura's waist and takes the cell phone from the bed table. He notices that his father's number is glowing on the screen.

"What's up dad?" He asks lazily. Sure he still wants to be sleeping with Sakura in his embrace.

"Where are you? Come to my office right now, we have something important to talk about. I'm sure you'll be glad to hear it." Li Wei Xiang replies.

"God, I'm still sleepy. Can't I just go there by noon?"

"Xiao Lang! What do you think you're doing? Come here at once!"

Then, Li Wei Xiang shut off his phone. He can't understand just what his son doing at the moment. It's already 8 o'clock in the morning, and Syaoran hasn't got up from his bed. That's a very rare condition. Except if he was ill, Li Syaoran has never been late for work.

Syaoran gets up from the bed slowly. But then, someone grabs his hand and pulls him into the bed again.

"Just where do you think you're going?" Sakura's angelic voice fills the air. She awoke because she had heard Syaoran's voice talking to someone. And then, she felt Syaoran's body heat leaving hers.

"Wow, I didn't think you awoke Sakura." Syaoran chuckles lightly. He enjoys seeing her annoyed like that. Especially because he was going to leave her.

"Mou... I'm not that lazy cow. Come on; tell me where you're going… please…" Sakura begs.

"Please, Sakura. You know I can't stand seeing you that way. Okay, my father called me and he wanted me to be in his office right away. Now, can I go take a shower and then go to my dad's office?"

"What if I say no?" Sakura teases him.

"Well, I have to choose between to be fired from my dad's company and go broke for the rest of my life or my wife pissed at me for the rest of my life too. God, that's hard…" Syaoran pretends to look like he's suffering.

Sakura giggles a little. "Well, since I'm a very generous person, I will allow my husband to go to my father in law's office and finish his business there…"

Syaoran smiles brightly. But then Sakura continues her words.

"Unless…"

"Unless what honey?" Syaoran asks curiously.

"Unless he promises to go home as soon as he can and accompany his wife afterwards!"

"Well, yeah… I think I can handle that." Syaoran says as he pretends to be thinking real hard.

Both of them laugh at each other. But then, they return to what they've been doing all night, embrace each other. It's been a month since their wedding day. And their feelings towards each other seem to increase each day. Especially because they have the same destiny, growing without a mother. Syaoran lost his mother in an accident when he was 4 years old. He was the only child back then. So, his father always protects him because he knows that he will become the ruler of their huge Company.

Sakura herself has lost her mother when she was six years old. After that, she only has her father and brother. But now, she has her husband. Even though at first their marriage was only for business purposes but they later realized that they had feelings towards each other. And with her old boyfriend Yukito, he never contacted her anymore.

Li Wei Xiang

"Now son, listen to me. This is really important. I received news this morning that the American Company cancelled their deal with Kinomoto Company."

"So?" Syaoran asks calmly.

"SO? That's all you have to say? God! Wake up son! This is not what we've been planning! Now you know what? That American Company decided to make a new deal with Daidouji Company… now, I see a new plan son…" Li Wei Xiang says. He changes from being very pissed to be a little calmer.

Syaoran on the other hand has never thought about the plan for a whole month. He almost forgot about it. He doesn't care if marrying Sakura doesn't give any material profit. Because for him, she's worth more than any sum of money.

"You know what son? I have a new idea… and this is gonna be great! We'll be twice richer!" Li Wei Xiang says brightly.

"What this plan about? I'm not going to get involved with your dirty work dad."

"Now son, listen. I know that Daidouji Sonomi, the head of Daidouji Company has a fair daughter named Tomoyo. You know, if you can make a move on her, we can persuade them to share the deal with us."

Syaoran remembers Tomoyo Daidouji. She's his assistant's girlfriend. Yeah, she's Eriol's long time girlfriend. He can't make a move on her. After all, he has Sakura. And he loves her too much to even think about cheating on her.

"No can do, dad. I'm out of this. Tomoyo Daidouji is Eriol's girlfriend. After all, I have my wife and I love her."

"What are you thinking son? You can divorce that Kinomoto and make a move on Daidouji. About Eriol, he'll find another girl. Or maybe, we can give him one. Anyone, except Daidouji, cause she's suppose to be yours." Li Wei Xiang answers lightly. He doesn't even care about anyone elses feelings.

"God, dad! Don't you have a heart there in your chest? People DO have feelings. We're not robots." Now, Syaoran feels so pissed off by his father. He can't understand how his father can behave that way. Did he ever love his mother?

"What's that suppose to mean?" Li Wei Xiang looks straight into his son's eyes. He doesn't like when people disagree with him. He's always right for himself. He has the power to rule.

"That means I refuse to be involved in your stupid plan." Syaoran answers straightly.

"You know the consequences, son. You know me."

"You wouldn't dare to hurt me or my wife."

"So… that's what you think, son. I'm not that predictable." Li Wei Xiang smirkes evilly.

"If you ever dare try hurt my wife, I won't hesitate to make revenge."

"Just go and try. I move fast, son."

Syaoran gets up from his chair and gives his father a sharp look before he gets out of the room. He makes his way to Eriol's office. He has to tell him about the plan. Eriol has to tell Tomoyo to be aware of Li Wei Xiang.

"Eriol! I need to talk! Oops… I'm sorry." Syaoran was opening Eriol's office door and was ready to blurt out his words when he sees that Eriol was hugging Tomoyo.

"Hey, Syaoran. What's up? You already know my girlfriend right?" Eriol says as he loosens the hug.

"Yeah, hello Ms. Daidouji."

"Good afternoon Mr. Li." Tomoyo smiles kindly to Syaoran.

"Listen Eriol, we need to talk. I think you should hear it too Ms. Daidouji."

"What's happened Syaoran? It seems very important." Eriol adjusts his glasses uncomfortably.

"Yeah. You know about my dad's plan right? The one with Kinomoto Company?"

Eriol nods.

"The American Company cancelled their deal with Kinomoto and made a new contract with your company, Ms. Daidouji."

Eriol seems surprised. He looks at Tomoyo with a questioning face.

"I think I know this deal, Eriol, Mr. Li. My mother seems very interested with this new contract." Tomoyo replies.

"So, you know my dad, Eriol. He'll have what he wants. And he wanted me to divorce Sakura and make a move to your girlfriend. That's insane!" Syaoran says furiously.

Eriol clenches his fists. He can't believe that Li Wei Xiang could do that. He was his son's best friend after all. And he's one of the best employers in the company. The closest employer to the Li's.

Tomoyo grabs Eriol's hand tightly. She doesn't expect that Li Wei Xiang would have that crazy idea. Then, she feels Eriol's arm on her shoulder. Somehow, she feels very safe.

"So, what are you going to do Syaoran?" Eriol asks.

"I don't have any idea yet. But my father has already threatened me. You know he's always serious when he threatens people. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. And I suggest you, and you too Ms. Daidouji to be extra careful." Syaoran answers. He's already calmed down.

"Yeah, you're right. Well, just look after your wife carefully because I think she will be the one your father's after." Eriol says.

Syaoran nods. "Guess I better leave right now. I don't want to leave my wife alone from now on."

Syaoran walks towards the door and disappears behind it. Tomoyo still shrugs uncomfortably on Eriol's arm.

"Tomoyo, what's wrong? Nothing is gonna happen. I'll protect you. After all, Mr. Li won't hurt you because I'm sure he doesn't want to ruin the relationship between him and your mother. He'll lose a very big chance."

"No, Eriol. I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about you. Maybe he'll come after you. Because you're one of the reasons Li Syaoran refused to make a move on me. Because I'm your girlfriend." Tomoyo sighs.

"I can protect myself. I'm okay. If he really wants to get me, I would've been fired by now."

"Maybe he has another plan…"

"Now, Tomoyo. Don't be that paranoid. I'll be fine okay? So, what do you want for lunch?" Eriol says as he kisses Tomoyo lightly.

The next day….

Syaoran and Sakura are eating their breakfast quietly. Syaoran has told Sakura about the plan the night before. Sakura was very surprised. She couldn't believe that Mr. Li Wei Xiang was so heartless. First, he forced her to marry Syaoran because he thought that her father's company could give him lots of money. But now, he's trying to force his son to divorce her and make a move on another girl because her father's company couldn't give him any benefits and that girl could. What was he thinking? He's not God for heaven's sake!

"Sakura, are you still scared?" Syaoran asks gently. He's very afraid that his wife will be paranoid.

"No, Syaoran. I'm not scared. There's no reason for me to be scared." Sakura answers lightly.

"Do you hate me right now?" He asks again.

Sakura looks up from her meal into Syaoran's eyes. "Why do I have to hate you? I love you Syaoran. I wouldn't hate you for anything."

"I know, I love you too. But you seem very quiet this morning. What happened?"

"I'm sorry Syaoran. But I can't help myself not to hate your father. He's my father in law, but, why did he do this to me? I'm his son's wife, for God's sake! Does he even care?" Sakura starts to cry. She cries not because she's weak. She cries because of anger. Right now, she hates Li Wei Xiang very much.

Syaoran gets up from his chair and walks towards Sakura. He pulls her head to his chest and hugs her tightly. He hates to see her cry.

"I know, honey. I hate him too right now. But I promise, everything's gonna be okay. You and I will be together forever. Nothing's gonna separate us… Sakura, listen, I have an idea, why don't we go somewhere else? So that we can get away from this problem and have a new life. What do you think?"

Sakura pulls her head from Syaoran's chest and looks up to his face. "Syaoran? Are you sure? What about your father? What about your job?"

"I don't care about it anymore. I only care about your safety. After all you're the one who has to be concerned about your family… do you think they'll agree?"

Sakura thinks for a moment. Yes, she has her father and Touya here in Tomoeda. But, she knows her father very much. She's sure that they will agree with anything that will make her happy. Especially if it's about her safety.

"I think they will understand. But I guess I'll have to call them first. Will you give me a sec?" Sakura asks.

Syaoran nods his head and smiles. Sakura moves her body and makes her way to the phone. She presses her father's number and waits.

Fujitaka

He is sipping his coffee when his cell phone rang. He looks at the number and knows that it's his daughter's house.

"Ohaiyou Sakura. How are you today, dear?"

"Ohaiyou Otousan, I'm fine thank you. And what about you? Are you okay? Your blood pressure?"

Fujitaka laughs a little. This is why he misses his daughter so much, she's always full of concern.

"Easy Sakura. I'm fine. How about Syaoran? Are you okay with him? No arguments?"

"No father. He's fine. We're fine actually. I'm so much in love. By the way, I have something important to tell you."

"What is it my dear? It sounds very important." Fujitaka listens carefully.

"Yes it is. Now father, I already knew about your deal with Mr. Li Wei Xiang, and what this marriage is all about. He was trying to take advantages of you. He thought that you would have a great contract with the American Company. But then, I knew that the contract was cancelled, right?"

"Yes it was. Please continue."

"Then, Mr. Li knew that the American Company will make a new contract with Daidouji Company. So, he ordered my husband to divorce me and marry Tomoyo Daidouji, the heiress of Daidouji Company. You know why he wants that, right?"

"What? He did that? How could he? God, Sakura! Did Syaoran want to divorce you?"

"I'm glad he didn't. I'm sure that he loves me father. Now the problem is, Syaoran decided to disobey his father. And because of that, Mr. Li will try something on us. I don't know what he will do but I guess it will be safer for us if we leave this country." Sakura tries her best to be as calm as possible.

"So, now you ask for permission right? Well dear, you know that I'll agree with anything that will make you safe. If you think that leaving this country with Syaoran is the safest way, then just go my dear. But please do me a favor…"

"What is it, father?"

"Please be safe and do not forget to contact me wherever you go."

"I will. Well, thank you very much, father. Syaoran and I will prepare our belongings right away. I'll call you later again."

"Okay dear. Love you."

"Love you, father." And with that Sakura hangs up the phone. She turns to Syaoran and nods. Soon, they will be leaving Japan and go to Singapore.

Li Wei Xiang

"Yes, you know what to do right?"

The man who is sitting in front of him nods.

"And don't forget, do not harm my son. I want him back safely. I don't care about that Kinomoto girl. I only want my son back. Here's your money, I'll give you the rest when my son is back. You know what to do to that girl right? I want her to disappear." He smirks evilly.

To Be Continued

So, what will happen to Sakura and Syaoran? Well, you have to wait for the next chapter. But I promise it won't take this long. Now please give me some more reviews… good day to you all!!
