Falling for Sakura Chapter 158: Sakura’s Confession – Part 4
James rested his body against the leather seat. “I am. And to answer your question, Conrad, yes. Tara knows about her mother, according to Erick’s report.”“Since when?” Sebastian asked with narrowed eyes.“Since she was a teenager.”That got the brothers staring wide-eyed in shocked surprise.“What?” Tristan expressed in astonishment.“Since she was a teenager?” Logan asked. “Like fifteen?”James nodded. “During her high school years in New York in the private academy.”“Which you paid for,” Darcy said.James chuckled.Nicolas said, “Dad, that academy wasn’t cheap.”“At least she kept Alaina company,” James admitted.Darcy said darkly, “And helped fuck up her brain, too.”James became sober instantly. “Yes, that, too. And I blame myself for what happened. I’m her father, yet I didn’t see the danger and allowed those two to become close.”Tristan said, “Dad, it’s not your fault. Tara is a very good manipulator. We’ve experienced it firsthand.”Logan nodded in agreement. “She’s good at

“Take care,” Sakura said, hugging Jane tightly as they stood in front of the house at dawn. Meanwhile, Luke, Mr. Tachibana, and Ms. Ruka were busy putting their luggage into the trunk of the taxi.“You, too, Sakura,” Jane said. “Take care and have fun on the rest of your vacation. When I see you again in New York, I expect you to be refreshed.”Sakura chuckled. “Yes.”A few moments later, after a series of farewells, take cares, and good-byes from Sakura and James, the four people hopped into the taxi and disappeared from view.Beside her, Daddy James pulled Sakura into his arms and then kissed her forehead. “Did you have a good sleep last night?”Sakura nodded. “Yes, I did. I didn’t know I was that tired.”“It was a full-on two days for you.” He looked at her, noting her pale face and the dark circles under her eyes. “Hmm. You should go back to bed to get some more sleep,” he suggested.Sakura shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m wide awake now anyway. Besides, I still haven’t packed, and

When Sakura next woke, it was to Akira calling her name. “Hey, sleepyhead,” she said, chuckling with amusement. “It’s time to get up. It’s nearly lunch.”Sakura yawned and stretched her body. “Is it that late already?”Akira nodded. “Have you packed yet?”Sakura shook her head.“Want me to help?”Again, Sakura shook her head. “I’ll be fine.” She sat up and then slid out of bed. “I’ll just go and shower first.”Akira nodded. Before Sakura disappeared into the bathroom, her friend said, “By the way, Sebastian came to see you last night.”At this, Sakura raised her brows. “Sebastian?”Had he wanted to see her because he intended to tell her of his decision regarding her confession, or was it about what Daddy James had told her this morning? She assumed it was the latter since it was very unlikely that he and Darcy had already made up their minds about her proposal.Just to be sure, however, she asked, “Did he tell you what he wanted to talk to me about by any chance?”Akira shook her hea
Falling for Sakura Chapter 161: St. Thomas Island – Part 1
It was three hours later when the group arrived at their destination, St. Thomas Island, a forty-acre tropical retreat privately owned by the Princeton family.As they docked, Sakura marveled at the crystal-clear water, palms, and native flora spread out across the island and the shore where a white sandy beach stretched beautifully and invitingly. Sitting on a gentle sloping hill was the great house, designed in the Balinese style with open windows, which allowed three-sixty-degree views of the specular ocean beyond. Then there were the tennis courts as well as the beach house, pool, and not to mention the outdoor bar area.“Wow!” Sakura exclaimed as they were leaving the yacht, her eyes wide as she gazed around her with amazement. “The island is beautiful.”Behind her, Conrad said, “It’s your first time here, isn’t it? The view is the best, and of course, we have tons of places we can explore on the island, as well as numerous water sports we can do.”Sakura chuckled. “Water sports,

A few minutes later, she got up and began exploring her room. Apart from the obvious, she noted another door, which she assumed must lead to the bathroom. When she opened it, she found she was spot on. The bathroom was exotic, designed in the Asian style just like the rest of the house. There was a large window that had a great view of the beach, too.When she came back out, she started unpacking and hanging her clothes in the closet provided. Once she finished some twenty minutes later, she thought about exploring the place a bit more.Outside in the hallway, she noted the other doors and couldn’t help but wonder who resided in those bedrooms. Of course, she had the feeling it must be the Princetons and wasn’t surprised she was put up in a room in close proximity to them, for safety reason she was sure. Although, she must admit there was no point in such precaution since they were on St. Thomas Island, a privately owned estate. The retreat was completely isolated, and security, she w

The evening meal was delicious and the atmosphere light and fun. As usual, it was loud and cheerful, with Tristan and Logan entertaining everyone. There was an endless supply of scrumptious food as well, various sorts of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Apart from Beth attending as the housekeeper, there were the maids working to ensure the Princeton family and their guests were comfortable and enjoying themselves.Sakura thoroughly relished in the hearty feast and found that by the end of the banquet, she was stuffed and felt as though she couldn’t move an inch. Of course, the wine Tristan constantly poured into her glass didn’t help either. After three glasses of champagne, her head was spinning, and she kept wanting to lie down and go to sleep. Then by the time she’d finished devouring the delicious dessert of chocolate cake baked by Beth, she felt as though she’d had enough and simply wanted to switch off.Beside her, Akira asked over the loud noise of laughter and chatte

Once Michael was gone, Sakura shut the door and headed over to the bathroom to draw herself a nice cool bath. She even put in a good amount of aromatherapy oil. Gosh, it smelled nice, and she smiled delightedly, finding she couldn’t wait to get in.While the bath was being filled, she headed back into the bedroom to find her sleepwear. Because it was hot, she decided on a pair of shorts and a tank top. Heading back to the bathroom, she brushed her teeth, and by the time she was done, the bath was ready. Stripping herself naked, she eagerly hopped into the cool, aromatic water.“Ahh…” She sighed with pleasure. “That feels good.”She lay there enjoying the moment as her body relaxed. Of course, she consciously tuned out the sound of the storm echoing outside by occupying her mind with the thoughts of Sebastian and Darcy.Tomorrow evening at the beach house, she’d be meeting with the two men. Her stomach flipped at the prospect as her heart skipped a few beats.What will their answers be

The storm tonight was loud and angry. It wasn’t the usual type of storm that passed through mildly without leaving chaos. This one, Darcy could tell, would leave a trail of destruction in its path. Yet again, lightning flashed, and he watched the island and sea under the bright light for a flick of a second. He thought at that moment that it was both beautiful and frightening.“That was a nasty one,” Sebastian said.Darcy agreed, wondering how much cleaning up they’d have to do tomorrow morning when all this raging wind and lightning disappeared, providing them another calm, beautiful day here on St. Thomas Island.Once the noise of the thunder had died down, the room was once again rowdy with chatter and laughter. At the moment, the Princeton brothers and their friends were gathered in the living area, scattered around, sitting on the sofas and armchairs, having a fine time talking and drinking coffee. Meanwhile, the brothers’ parents, James and Brenda, were enjoying their coffee and

Six Months LaterWhen Sakura woke up, it was to the sound of birds chirping and morning light shining in through the windows. She blinked a couple times to get used to the brightness as she lay there feeling exhausted, as if she had just finished running a race. Once she’d gotten used to the light, she searched about her surroundings, wondering where she was. Because this certainly wasn’t her room.Her eyes lingered on the beautiful chandelier dangling in the center, the crystals exuding an array of rainbow colors about the space. A moment later, her gaze shifted to the king-size bed that she was currently in.She sat up, her mind still reeling over what had happened last night. When she moved, she realized she was naked under the sheet. She frowned for a moment, and then everything came flooding back.Instantly, she blushed and clutched the sheet against her.“Oh God,” she whispered softly. “I’ve done it again, haven’t I? With Sebastian and Darcy?”She licked her lips as she pulled t

The moment her hands were removed, the two men stared, marveling at the sight. Sure, they had seen many women’s breasts before, and in fact, to them, they were just part of the female anatomy. Nothing more. But with Sakura, her pair of exquisite beauties, the perfect-size mounds of pale, smooth flesh topped with cute pink nipples perking at just the right angle—they were something marvelous.Sebastian tittered with excitement, which drew Sakura’s attention to him. She gazed at him, wondering why he had such a passionate look in his eyes as he stared at her breasts. When he flicked his gaze to hers and their eyes met, Sakura swallowed hard at the raw passion she noted radiating from him.“Wow,” Darcy said, his voice deep and hoarse, which sent a delicious shiver down her spine. “Just wow.”Sebastian nodded. He couldn’t find words to describe how happy he was.Suddenly, Darcy cupped her breasts, one in each hand. Sakura gasped at the intimate contact as her body squirmed in his embrace.
Falling for Sakura Chapter 181: Sakura, My Love – Part 1
Sakura grabbed Sebastian’s hands that were about to cup her breasts, stopping him. She looked from one man to the other, her mind reeling at what was going on. She licked her lips nervously and then finally managed to ask, “What are you two doing? Aren’t you going to order room service?”Sebastian’s eyes glinted with that mischievousness that Sakura found both vexing and endearing at the same time.He said, with a hint of a laughter in his deep timbre, “Oh, but you are our room service.”Sakura wasn’t accepting it. She knew they both were toying around with her. She demanded, “The dessert?”Darcy said, his voice sensual and deep, “You are our dessert. That’s why it’s the best kind, one we’ll remember for the longest time.”It was only then that she understood what they meant. She. Was. Their. Dessert. As in they were going to make love to her?That pushed her into a panic attack, and she struggled in Sebastian’s arms, desperately wanting to break free. The damn handsome man, however,

Darcy said, “Sakura, remember the night you confessed to us?”Slowly, Sakura nodded.“You told us you’d either have both of us or none at all,” Sebastian said.Sakura jumped at the sound of his voice. She didn’t realize he was standing behind her, so close to her in fact that she could feel the heat of his body warming her against the coolness of the night.She nodded again. “Yes, I did say that, and I meant it. I can’t…” She sighed, her heart now racing furiously. “I can’t live with the knowledge that I picked one of you and not the other. That I’d be living with one and not the other. That I’d be showering my love on one and not the other when I love you both. It just isn’t fair.” Her body and hands were shaking now, even her voice, quivering softly under the two men’s scrutiny.“I won’t be able to handle the guilt, the pain of not having both of you in my life. I know I’m greedy. I know… It’s weird to love two men and want both in my life…living like a family like it’s nothing.” Sh

Sakura relaxed back in her seat and then put on the safety belt. A moment later, Sebastian started the engine and then they were off.It was dark, and the city lights glittered beautifully against the backdrop of the night sky, competing with the stars. It was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, and Sakura was mesmerized.“It’s beautiful here, isn’t it?” Sebastian said.Sakura nodded. “After what happened…” she said, her throat feeling a little dry. “After what happened, I appreciate what’s around me more.”Sebastian reached out his free hand and cupped her face. “Nothing like that is ever going to happen to you again. I’m here with you, and Darcy, too.” He chuckled. “In fact, all of us Princetons. We’re family.”She smiled, appreciating his comforting words. “Thanks.”It was a few more minutes when Sakura realized they were heading toward the hotel. Of course, she was a little confused as to why they were going there and was about to ask Sebastian as he parked the car when he intercepte

Darcy was discharged from the hospital five days later, and, in Princeton style, a big Welcome Home party was launched at the holiday house.The moment Darcy stepped foot out of the car, he was treated and pampered like a king by everyone, especially his brothers Tristan and Logan, who acted as his butlers. Of course, being the down-to-earth person he was, Darcy didn’t want that kind of attention and found it rather tiring. Deep down, all he wanted was for Sakura to be by his side.Damn, but he wanted to kiss her and, most of all, confess his love for her properly, along with Sebastian of course. But that was not to be as the house was almost always full of people coming and going, and not one moment had he had the chance to be with her. At least not until a day later when he and Sebastian had a good talk and made arrangements for things to start moving forward to make it official.Now sitting on the couch, drinking coffee, both Sebastian and Darcy watched Sakura as she animatedly cha

Sakura and Sebastian stayed with Darcy throughout the morning, with Sakura entertaining Darcy by telling him about her family reunion and that Ned was actually her biological father and Beth her aunt. Of course, Darcy wasn’t surprised with this outcome, as he had known how much Ned loved Sakura. The same went for Beth.It was some time later when Darcy asked the question he had wanted answered since he’d seen the news on the television early that morning. It was about Mrs. Clark, Tara, and Ray Woods, who had been taken into custody.Sebastian said, “Tara might get a lighter sentencing than Mrs. Clark and Ray Woods. She’s only an accomplice.”“And Mrs. Clark?” Sakura asked, her body tense.“Probably life in prison for first-degree murder or something along those lines,” Sebastian said.“For murdering Mrs. Taylor?” Sakura asked.At this, both Sebastian and Darcy turned to look at her, surprised. Sebastian asked, “How did you know she was one of the victims?”Sakura cast her eyes downwar

Sakura woke with a start, gasping and whimpering and her skin soaking with sweat. With her heart beating loudly in her chest, she stared up at the ceiling, her mind racing as tears welled in her eyes.Dream. It was only a dream. It wasn’t real. She hadn’t lost Darcy. She hadn’t lost Sebastian. Both men were still here with her.“Sebastian. Darcy,” she whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.Just moments ago, she had dreamed of them—she and the Princeton brothers—once again on that yacht in the middle of the ocean, the storm raging above them. Mrs. Clark, Tara, and Ray Woods had been there, too, torturing her.Sakura shut her eyes as she remembered the nightmare vividly.Mrs. Clark had shot her, only to hit Darcy instead. As Darcy lay there in her arms, dying from the gunshot wounds, Tara slayed Sebastian with her knife and then pushed him off the boat into the rampant sea.The thought of losing her beloved men made her feel sick to her stomach, and she whimpered softly. She shook he
Falling for Sakura Chapter 175: An Unexpected Reunion – Part 4
Across the distance of the sitting room, Sakura silently watched her biological mother being embraced in Ned’s arms as the woman recited her story to her first love. And Sakura had no doubt that she, too, must have played a part of that tale when she had been a baby.Once again, she still couldn’t believe the fact that she, Sakura, had been by her biological father’s side all along, since she had been seven years old in fact. Could this explain why she had always felt connected to the man deep down? Was that why she’d always felt safe and comforted when he was around? And the fact that he had always been there for her and helping her when she had needed someone like a parent the most reminded her again of how important Ned was in her life.When Haruka finally finished telling Ned her tale some fifteen minutes later, Sakura saw Ned comforting her, telling her that he didn’t blame her for what had happened and what she’d done. He told her that he understood what she’d gone through and c
