New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 751 - The End

Chapter 751 - The End

Kyle couldn't help but give Sayuri a kiss then.

Not just any kiss, but a mind-blowing French kiss as he plundered her mouth while holding her tight to him. When he finally broke the kiss, he said in a hoarse voice, "Just what am I going to do with you? I am falling deeper and deeper in love with you."

"Just love me more and more then," Sayuri replied, kissing him back.

After what seemed like ages, they finally got back to the task at hand. Still holding onto Sayuri's waist, he looked at the broken Sarah that was on the ground, too injured and in pain to even move.

"So what now?" he asked, indicating Sarah with a jerk of his chin.

Sayuri extracted herself from Kyle's hold then mercilessly stomped on Sarah's knees, breaking the kneecap.

Sarah screamed in pain, her voice raw and hoarse by then.

Sayuri then took out her knife, and made several slashes all over Sarah. As she looked at Sarah, she then slashed Sarah's wrist, causing the blood to flow freely and stain the ground with blood.

"We'll leave her to the forest," Sayuri said, wiping the blade on Sarah's pants.

There weren't any dangerous animals around, so the smell of blood wouldn't attract anything and Sarah wouldn't be mauled to death. Sayuri didn't believe in that sort of an end.

After all, Sarah had kicked her and left her to die while bleeding, not that she had a dog attack her or something. So, the end would be the same for Sarah. Just a bit more painful since Sarah's injuries were far more severe and Sarah wasn't unconscious like she had been.

"Okay," Kyle replied, taking Sayuri's hand, "I'll get the clean-up crew here tomorrow."

Sayuri nodded and patted Kyle's cheek, "Come on. I miss the babies."

"No! Please! Don't leave me here!" Sarah cried out weakly.

She watched in dismay as the couple continued walking away, hardly turning around to look at her.

As she lay there, her body utterly broken and bleeding to death … clarity finally graced Sarah's mind.

They say that your life flashes before you die. In Sarah's case, it didn't really flash but as she lay there, the scenes of her life did go through her mind. For the first time, she saw them from a third persons' perspective and she was appalled.

Just when did it begin?

Just why did she become so obsessed with Kyle that she was blind to everything - and everyone?

When she thought of what she had done to Sayuri, and her act of trying to kill the baby … Sarah felt intense regret and shame. No wonder Kyle hated her. No wonder Sayuri had beaten her to a pulp.

As the life ebbed out of her, Sarah cried silent tears.

She had such a bright future but she destroyed it with her own hands. At least, she had failed in destroying another family.

As she thought of Kyle and Sayuri, and their children, a slight smile passed her lips as she breathed her final breath.

At least, she failed there. Her final thoughts were, 'Be happy.'

As Kyle drove them back, Sayuri was lost in thought.

"Regrets?" he asked softly.

"Of course not," Sayuri replied, "I was just thinking how pitiful she was."

"Umm," Kyle agreed.

He often wondered if there was anything he could have done in the past, that would have avoided this. However, no matter how many times he thought about it, he didn't see anything that he would have done differently.

He hadn't encouraged her, nor had he given her any false hopes. The most he had done, was to treat her as a friend and even then, not any different than how he treated Beatrice. In fact, he treated Beatrice far better (in his opinion).

At the end of the day, it was Sarah herself that caused her own downfall.

It's like the saying 'you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink'. Though it actually meant that you can provide a person with great opportunity, but you can't force them to take it if they don't want to, it still applied here.

After all, he had dropped so many hints and even staged that 'I don't like you' act with Sayuri to let her know that there couldn't be anything between them. Yet, she never gave up.

"Wait, where are we going?" Sayuri asked suddenly.

Kyle smiled mysteriously, and said, "I'm kidnapping you for a while. We haven't had a date for ages."

"Oh," Sayuri replied, nodding.

Kyle brought her to a restaurant by the beach, and they sat at the patio that overlooked it. There was only a single table, and the entire patio was full of her favourite flowers placed strategically all around.

He had actually booked the entire patio, so they were alone while curious onlookers from inside were looking out in envy.

When Sayuri saw the entire set-up, she raised an eyebrow, and looked at him quizzingly, "It's not our birthday or anniversary, is it? What are we celebrating?"

He simply took her hand and led her to their table, pulling out a chair and telling her, "It's my first with my wife. Of course, it has to be special."

Sayuri smiled, understanding.

This was truly their first time out as a couple since her discharge. She didn't ask more and they enjoyed a quiet, romantic lunch together. They talked, they smiled, they laughed and most of all, they simply enjoyed time together.

Just as dessert was being served, a group of four people carrying string instruments followed behind the waiter that was bringing it. Sayuri's eyebrows went up as the four people then sat at one corner, sat down and started playing some music.

Soon, the air was filled with a beautiful, romantic melody comprising of the two violins, a viola, and a cello. As the waiter put down the dessert, Sayuri saw that there was some sort of drawing on the chocolate mousse.

She peered closely, seeing that it was two hands intertwined, inside a heart. She looked up to Kyle, only to see that he was now on one knee beside her.

"Sayuri Hinata," Kyle said solemnly, his eyes serious and full of love, "You are the perfect half of my heart. I love you, and I will love you until the day I die and if I am fortunate enough to live again, I want to be yours again. Only this time, I hope to realise it sooner so that I can love you longer."

Sayuri sat there, her hands on her mouth while her eyes glistened with tears.

Kyle opened up the ring box, to reveal a beautiful heart-shaped blue diamond and asked, "Sayuri, will you stay by my side, as my best friend and lover till the end of time?"

"Silly Kyle," Sayuri said sniffling.

"I'm your silly Kyle," he replied.

She nodded and he placed the Heart of Eternity ring on her finger, causing everyone around to shout out happily.

They kissed, oblivious to everyone, the ring glistening brightly.
