Previously...

Sakura watched the door close.

So he knew.

He knew she wanted to escape.

Maybe he was right. They were more alike than the other thought.

"Have you been alright?"

Sakura turned around, startled.

She was currently sitting at the balcony of her hospital room, with her legs dangling outside. It was only 6 A.M in the morning, but she had awoken early to see the sun rise.

"Evan? Who-why- what are you doing here?" She was speechless.

The man sat down next to her. "If this mission is to rough for you..."

She felt like she was dreaming. Her insides felt torn apart.

"No!" Sakura said. "I can handle it."

Evan looked down at her and she felt herself glowing with anger.

"You don't believe me?" She spat. "You never believed in me. Well, I'm not my mother. I'm not foolish enough to be blinded with love. I know that stuff doesn't exist!"

"No...You don't know what really happened Sakura. You don't understand....." He got up and looked out into the sky with the colors of orange and pink swirling together. Then he turned towards the glass balcony door. "I loved your mother..." he whispered with his back turned.

"Then why'd you kill her?" She whispered to his retreating back. He didn't hear.

Or did he?

--

"Hey boss." A guy said, walking down the hallway.

"Not now."

Evan entered his room and closed the door with a click. He peeled the shirt off his back and sunk into his bed.

He dug deep into the covers. His body felt numb all over.

He breathed in and out deeply when all of a sudden his body rocketed with tears.

He clutched himself and breathed roughly. "I can't. I can't."

Flashback

"Lily, where have you been?" Evan said, opening the door to the front door. Lily bounced up the steps, looking as beautiful as she always looked. Her fair brown hair gleamed even in the dark and rose with each breath she took.

"Karla's been calling for you, baby."

Lily answered Evan's with a kiss on his cheek, before she entered the house.

"Mommy!" A little brown haired girl screamed, as she ran happily towards the lady.

"Oh, sweetie." Lily whispered, picking up her daughter. "How's daddy been treating you?" She asked, playfully.

"Great," Karla answered, beaming at Evan. "He bought me a Barbie!! I named her umm... Barbie."

Lily laughed, and placed a kiss on the little girl's forehead. "Good now. What time is it?"

"It's almost 10," Evan said, watching his wife and daughter with happy eyes.

"Alright then, you know what this means Karla. Bed time." Karla's dreadful eyes told she didn't want to go to bed that early, but she was a good kid.

"Oka," she said, yawning, putting a kiss on Lily's cheek. Then, when Lily placed her down on the floor, she placed a kiss on Evan's cheek too.

"I'll tuck you in, in a few minutes, okay? Daddy and I need to talk."

"Come on," Lily said to him, her face scrunched with seriousness.

She led him into the living room and sat him down. "I want a divorce..."

"Wh-whaa?" This he didn't expect. It wasn't. It couldn't be why she wasn't home lately.

"I'm sorry Evan," she said, tears trailing down her face. "I don't even understand how, but I fell in love with your cousin. I fell in love with Leo."

End of flashback

(remember Leo? He's the guy Evan kills in Chapter 7) Clarification: Lily's been cheating on Evan with Evan's cousin, Leo. Lily is Evan's first wife and Karla is Evan's first daughter.

"Why?" Evan moaned, rolling on his back. He pulled open his drawer and took out a picture of Lily and two year old Karla. His beautiful wife who was dead now and his beautiful first born who he had no clue was.

Another Flasback

Gunshots fired and the figure fell.

Evan picked up the body that was one of Leo's gang men.

"Where's Evan. Tell me now." He picked the person up and tore down her black mask that covered her face.

Suddenly he gave a loud scream. "L-lily? Oh, my gosh. Lily."

Lily stared up at her with a bloody back. "I'm sorry. You didn't know Evan. Leo doesn't know too. I snuck out because he never lets me do anything."

Evan held Lily close to her. "I'm so sorry, Lily. I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you."

"I'm sorry too." She whispered, before her body started to loosen up.

"Lily. Lily! Don't go. I don't know why you left me. I still love you. LILY!!" He screamed.

Her body was motionless. She was dead.

"No.. Lily," he sobbed, as he sunk down onto the floor.

Flashback Ends

Clarification: This flashback takes place after Lily and Evan are divorced. She's gone to be with Leo, but after a while she feels worthless because Leo gives her special treatment. So here Lily sneaks out at a gang battle between Evan's gang and Leo's. Coincidentally Evan kills Lily, not knowing it was her.

A week later

(Just so you don't get confused. This isn't Evan's flashback. It's just a random one.)

Flashback

"Daddy! Daddy!" The little girl's scream was muffled, as she was pushed into a white van.

Evan was sleeping upstairs at his house peacefully, with music blasting from his radio. He couldn't think. He missed Lily so much... Little did he know, he was losing the only other thing that could bring back the joy in his life.

The guys pushed Karla into a dark room, where a guy was sitting on a chair. "Come over here," he said.

The little kid slowly walked over. "I want my daddy," she said.

The guy ignored her and picked her up onto his lap.

He twirled her hair with his finger and looked into her eyes.

"Lily's little baby," he whispered. "You look so much like Lily."

"I want daddy." Karla continued to say.

The guy shook his head. "No you don't." He opened up his drawer and pulled out a piece of candy. (Bribery!!) "My name's Leo. I'm your daddy now, okay?"

Karla took the candy from the man and timidly ate it. "But my daddy's sleeping at home."

"No, hush Lily. I'm your daddy now."

If Leo would have listened, he would have heard the little whisper. "But my name's Karla."

Ends Flashback

(Clarification: Leo kidnapped Karla because she looks exactly like Lily)

Evan flipped the picture over so the white side showed and dug it deep under his drawer. His hand shook as he took out another picture.

He smiled as he looked at this one. It was him with Nadeshiko and a little brown haired Sakura.

They were sitting under a cherry blossom tree with Sakura right between them, glowing with happiness.

He'd loved Nadeshiko so much. He was still grieving over Lily and Karla when she came into her life. She showed him how to love again and taught him to be happy once more. She brought life into him and gave him another beautiful little girl. A little girl, he promised himself and Nadeshiko, he would love until the end and show her with love until the end...

He gripped the bed sheets with his fist until they turned clear white.

He had broken his promise.
