Chapter 23: Trapped!

July 19th

Recap

"Syaoron…." Kiyoko started. She looked at him and told him how she felt about his decision.

"I love you!"

Keisuke eyes widened with Syaoron…

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

"Kiyoko…"Syaoron started

"NO Syaoron…I really do…I cared for you ever since you woke up in February because I loved you!" Kiyoko cried as she buried her face into his arms.

"I…'

"I'll be on my way" Keisuke said uncomfortably and left the room.

"Syaoron…" Kiyoko said tearfully and he sighed.

"Kiyoko…I'm very thankful you did that for me but…I still Love her…even if she remarried" Syaoron said softly

"So you're saying you don't feel the same? But What if you die! What if she planned this the whole time and she was trying to kill you!"

"NEVER!" Syaoron said loudly, "She would never try to kill me for money! I know her Kiyoko!"

Kiyoko continued to cry holding him. "Couldn't you at least try to love me if you knew she was truly happy?"

Syaoron thought for a moment. If he did go back now he would ruin the life she had created…

With a sigh he turned away and thought about his options…If he did reappear there was a chance he'd be a target as Kiyoko said and if he did just settle with Kiyoko everything would be fins and life would move on right?

"Syao…" Kiyoko whispered, "Please don't…"

"Look…" Syaoron said looking at her, "I'll try…for you I'll try…but just once more I want to see her…"

Kiyoko looked at him in sadness, "you'll still love her…"

"But if I do this…then maybe…WE can move on…" Syaoron said and Kiyoko searched his face for lies.

She smiled and hugged him tightly, "Thank you Syaoron…"

Syaoron nodded and held her close. He brushed off Sakura's face and looked at Kiyoko. Slowly he lowered his head to hers and he noted how cute Kiyoko could be as well. With a faint smile he kissed her softly and let his instinct take over, it wasn't quite the flame he had with Sakura…but close enough…

Sakura tucked her kids into bed and couldn't believe once December was here they'd be four.

"Ma'am…"

Sakura turned to see one of the maids who had stayed on after Syaoron's death.

"Yes?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"You're Mother-in-law is here to see you"

"Bring her up!" Sakura said and tried to pastes a smile on her Ce for Yelen. Her life was miserable and she wanted…desperately needed a way to get out of this life but she was trapped…

"Sakura/" Yelen voice cut through her thoughts and she glanced up.

"Hi" Sakura said with a smile and stood to bow to her.

Yelen smiled softly and looked at her two grandchildren asleep.

"Touya called me yesterday and told me that he was worried about you…what is it Dear?"

Sakura almost cried and told her the whole story. The only thing that held her back was the threat Chen Xin had over her head. He threatened to kill her babies and if anything that was the only thing she couldn't afford to lose…not Syaoron and her babies…

"I…" Sakura started and collapsed in tears, "God…give me Syaoron back…"

Yelen eyes widened and she looked at the stricken girl crying he heart out next to her. Yelen reached out and laid a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Sakura…fate works in weird ways…and if you don't move on…you'll, never see it…"

"But…" Sakura started thinking about her life since Syaoron's died.

"I'm miserable! I hate my life and I can't se anything beyond that would require me!"

"You have your children…your husband…"

"No…I don't want to do this anymore!' Sakura said and collapsed in another fit of tears.

"Sakura…Ying's out"

Sakura ceased her wails ad looked at Yelen tearfully, "What?"

"Ying's out of Prison…seems like her parents are making money again and has freed her. She's under probation but I fear for the kids and you"

' Ying…" Sakura whispered. That one name had killed her whole life two times over…

"My babies…" Sakura whispered. She would never let Ying harm her angels!

"Xaio and I've decided to place guards around our houses…it isn't safe these days and I'd like you and the kids to stay inside as much as possible."

"Okay…" Sakura obeyed. Her thoughts were on other things…it's best Yelen plan it by herself…she wanted no dalliance in guards and safety.

"…it really is too bad Chen Xin is working so hard on the company and never comes home much…"

Sakura gritted her teeth at the mention of her "loving" husband. "It's best that way!" Sakura said rather blandly.

"I suppose so" Yelen said, "Xaio's worried my dear…why aren't you pregnant yet? It's been three years?"

"We haven't had time to get around to it lately" Sakura lied without batting an eye. She turned to focus on her children and closed her eyes. Thank God she was taking the pill this whole time…she didn't want to be the mother of a would-be Chen Xin.

"Well…." Yelen said standing, "I have to get back but expect guards…"

" I will…" Sara said softly.

"And dear," Yelen said stopping at the door, "We all miss him...but let him go…"

Sakura eyes teared, as she didn't answer her mother-in-law.

"Damn you Syaoron…what a position you've put me in!" Sakura swore softly under her breath.

August 10th

Taiwan

Syaoron stared at the ocean water spraying up to the deck of the ship they were taking to Hong Kong. They'd be they're in another 30minutes according to Keisuke.

Syaoron stared at the women who held his arm in a light grasp. He smiled slightly noticing she was so sleepy.

"Kiyoko…"

She looked up in a dazed state and Syaoron laughed, "let's go down to our cabin and get some rest…"

Kiyoko nodded and Syaoron took her hand to lead her. They'd been together for almost four weeks now and the more time Syaoron spent with her the more he found her appealing.

Brushing her black locks away from her cold face he pressed his warm one onto her cheek.

"Tired?" he questioned

She nodded and pulled him onto the bed with her as soon as the entered their cabin and shut the door.

Syaoron smiled and rolled her onto the pillows. Taking off her jacket he took of his won as well and joined her in the warm bed. She instinctively moved her head onto his shoulder and rested a hand on his chest.

He looked at her features as she rested and noticed how angelic she was. With a soft smile he pulled the blankets higher and stared at the room. His thoughts soon drifted off to Sakura and were kept there. Although he'd been in Kiyoko's bed this past three-four weeks they actually haven't went all the way. Suddenly he wondered why he couldn't just do it with her and forget…

"Sakura…" He whispered and closed his eyes. He couldn't wait to se her…

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

Sakura had noticed that "guy" was home. She needed to at least inform him of what Xaio and Yelen was doing. Starting tomorrow they'd have guard and everything set up to avoid the horribleness bitch. Sakura glanced at the clock and noticed it was close to two in the morning. Chen Xin was always like this, coming late leaving early…

'He might as well never come home at all!' Sakura thought bitterly.

Sakura started thinking about going downstairs to open the door since all the maids had headed home at eleven. Ignoring that since he had a key she went to the bathroom and grabbed her robe to wrap around herself. The footsteps up were heard and she opened the bedroom door to see him accompanied by YING!

"You…"

Chen Xin must've just now saw Sakura, "Honey!" He smiled

Sakura wasn't convinced, what was this bitch doing in her house!

Ying smiled as she saw Sakura and then Sakura noticed she was holding a little boy hand. He was about four!

"You slut!" Sakura pronounced loud and clear, don't bring you're fatherless kid into my house with you! Get Out!"

Ying Clung onto Chen Xin's arm and looked at Sakura in victory, "His daddy is right here!" She snubbed into my face as she wrapped an arm around Chen Xin and they frenched nastily in front of me!

"Damn you Chen Xin…I should've known!" Sakura bit out…"You two were behind this the whole time huh?"

"Correct" Chen Xin said and brushed past Sakura to grab some of his stuff. "I'm going to stay with a women who can give me sons…much less kids then an sterile one like you!" He sneered and started downstairs with Ying and the little boy again.

"I want a divorce!" Sakura said loudly and clearly, "I don't care anymore…I want you both out of my life!"

"Too bad!" Chen Xin said with a grin, "We're not leaving…not until you give me a son or daughter, who'll inherit the Li Empire!"

"That's all you were after bastard?" Sakura asked angrily, "Well don't count on it! My son is Syaoron's and he'll get what his father left him!"

"You'll have no choice if I kill him!" Chen Xin said angrily.

Sakura glared at him and wished she'd have the strength to kill him, "you freed your whore didn't you? With Syaoron's money huh?"

"Damn right I did!" Chen Xin said with a smirk, "It's my money now anyway…I'll do as I wish with it!"

"Goddamn you Chen Xin!" Sakura cried in anger.

"Sweetie" Chen Xin said with a grin, "you don't know the half of it! Either way you lose!"

Sakura glared only.

"Tell anyone and I wont be responsible about what happens to your precious kids!"

Sakura closed her eyes in silent defeat. She knew any step she used she could expose her child to danger. If she revealed their plot her kids would be in danger all they way…especially since she had no clue which maids were spying on her for Chen Xin….she was Trapped!
