New Life : A Second Chance

When Samantha saw the girl that was standing at the doorway, her throat constricted.

The person was beautiful indeed. There was this gentleness surrounding her, like some delicate fairy as she stood there looking at them serenely.

Kyle frowned a bit at her outfit. Mainly because Sayuri was wearing a white shirt dress, which reached slightly above her knee. The bottom hem was curved upwards, so it showed a bit of her thigh on each side - even though the shirt was paired with a long colourful cardigan that reached the knee.

When she moved, one could peek at those smooth, slim legs.

She wasn't wearing a belt and at a certain angle, one could even imagine seeing shades of her bra and underwear underneath that white shirt.

She looked both seductive and innocent at the same time.

Kyle clenched his leg muscles, thinking that he's going to be doing a lot of that for the next few years. Deep down, he feels like he's being punished by the Heavens for something, though he doesn't know what it could be.

Of course, when he finally figured it out, he had his whole life to atone for his sins. But that is a story for another day.

As for now, none of his thoughts or feelings showed on his face as he quickly got up to greet Sayuri. Sayuri tilted her head slightly to show off her cheek to him, and he understood immediately.

Giving her a soft kiss on her cheek, he said, "You're here."

"Of course I'm here," Sayuri said sweetly, grabbing him on the arm, "When Beatrice told me that you had a visitor, I had to come and meet them."

Sayuri turned to Samantha with an even sweeter smile and said, "Miss Samantha, is it? I'm afraid you can't achieve the purpose of your visit here. I suggest you take your son and leave peacefully."

Samantha snorted, the facade she had worked so hard for, broke immediately. She had been so confident of her success that the possibility of failure never entered her mind at all.

So what if Kyle had a girl beside him?

She had his son!

Samantha sat back on the sofa, crossing her legs and she looked up at them, "I always get what I want."

Kyle rolled his eyes. This part of her never changed.

Sayuri's smile did not falter at all as she replied, "Not this time."

She turned to Kyle and said, "Kyle honey, I'm thirsty."

"Okay," he replied, kissing her forehead, "I'll go get something for you. What would you like?"

She tapped her chin with her finger and said, "Sour plum apple!"

It was actually apple juice with a couple of preserved sour plums (the same ones that Kyle took when he was airsick). The taste was very refreshing and Sayuri's mouth watered just thinking about it.

Then she tapped his nose, "And I want you to make it."

"Of course," Kyle replied indulgently.

Sayuri smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips, lingering slightly longer than she initially planned.

She watched him go with a smile before sitting down. Kyle had left the door open, turned to the bodyguard and said softly, "Protect Sayuri. If anything happens to her ..."

He glared at them, his blue-eyes seemingly piercing them right into their soul, "...you're going to wish you were dead."

The bodyguards stiffened, gulped and became extremely vigilant.

Satisfied, Kyle left.

He hadn't wanted to, but Sayuri had wanted to be alone with Samantha in order to assess her better.? He knew this because she told him, by tapping morse code on his arm as they were talking.

Once Kyle was gone, Samantha studied the woman in front of her more intently, perturbed at the display of affection that had been given in front of her. The fact that she could order Kyle around and he was so indulgent.

She practically bristled at the sight. That dotingness was hers in the first place. She will get it back. Samantha was confident of this, for she had Kyle Jr.

Kay was busy in her cyberwar room, checking out all the relevant information that Kyle had been giving her. Her main task right now was to find out how the fake DNA report had come about.

Zero, Lucka, and Yume were busy digging up all the information that they could on Samantha's since they parted all those years ago. They found it strange that information about her seemed to be lacking. Almost like it had been erased.

Edward had taken a sample from the kid and was responsible to get a paternity test done. Even though they knew that he wasn't Kyle's son, they needed concrete evidence should Samantha decide to use the fake DNA report and release it to the media.

A DNA test would normally take 3 - 5 days to process, and some as long as two weeks (it was cheaper). However, with Kyle's money and connection, one discreet lab had dedicated an entire team on the matter. Thus, they would be able to obtain a result within 10 hours.

Akira was left to watch over the kid. All of the team members' hearts were pained upon seeing the kid.

They were all orphans, and they knew how it was like to want a family. To find their biological parents. From the conversations Akira had with the boy, it was clear that the boy firmly believed that Kyle was the father.

He had been devastated initially when Kyle had told him that he wasn't the father, but he recovered after staying in Kyle's office for a while. The boy figured that the truth will come to light and Kyle would accept him.

After all, Kyle had said that he wouldn't if he really was the son and Kyle Jr was confident that his mother would be able to convince his father about it.

So, he waited patiently.
