Chapter 120: First and Only Love

Los AngelesEdward Faber, known simply as Ned to most, withdrew the cell phone from his ear and set it down beside him on the leather sofa. He leaned back against the seat as he stared long and hard at the painting before him.The masterpiece was one of his earlier works. He had started it when he had still been an art student, twenty-seven years ago.Ned smiled sadly, trying damned hard to prevent those stupid tears from brewing in his eyes. Nonetheless, the things still managed to appear, blurring his vision of the beauty within the painting that had captured his interest all those years ago.She was wearing a pale pink and white kimono of swirls and flowers. Her black hair was formed loosely into a chignon on top of her head, with a pretty floral headpiece on the side. Her skin was petal white and her lips ruby red. Posing there like some Japanese goddess, she was enchanting.Indeed, she had enchanted him, for she was Ned’s first and only love. She was his everything. Yet, she had

Chapter 121: Princeton Air – Part 1

At five thirty in the morning, Sakura nearly fell off her Jimmy Choo pumps the moment she stepped out of the limo and sighted the plane before them. She had known they’d be traveling to Hawaii on a private jet. But this? This was beyond her expectations. The plane was the size of an Airbus that could hold several hundred people. From what Conrad had told her the night before, she had thought the aircraft would be a small one that would hold about fifteen to twenty people at most. Not to mention the fact that there was an array of staff involved. There were at least six air hostesses alone, all dressed in an immaculate uniform of a light blue formal shirt, a darker shade of blue pencil skirt, and black heels.Though the plane was unexpectedly on the larger side, which meant less claustrophobia for her, Sakura still felt more than a little unsettled. She had never liked flying, and instantly the thought brought forward a feeling of nausea. She was still staring at the plane and the beau

Chapter 122: Princeton Air – Part 2

Sakura had never liked flying. The very thought itself caused her to break into a cold sweat. If she had the choice, she’d rather not travel by plane. But of course, her hands were tied, as the saying went, in this case, since she had no choice in the matter. Either travel to Hawaii and do the photo shoot, or pay the price for Mr. Tachibana’s one-of-a-kind gown. To be honest, her condition wasn’t that bad. It had been just the anxiety of being high up in the air and the possibilities of certain things that might go wrong that really affected her. Not many people knew about her phobia, except for Daddy James, Mom Brenda, and Mary.Sakura glanced over to the other side and noted Daddy James watching her. He signaled to her with a nod of his head to join him. Sakura sighed with relief.“Sorry, Conrad, I need to speak with Daddy James,” she said.The words Daddy James drew Marissa’s attention. She stopped talking to Logan and glanced at Sakura.“Huh? Now? Can’t it wait?” Conrad queried, o

Chapter 123: Sun, Sea, and Sakura – Part 1

Even at six in the evening, it was still extremely hot and humid in Hawaii. Sakura, in her flimsy, floral maxi dress, even with the cool breeze brushing nicely against her skin as the convertible sped along, felt stuffy and out of sorts. Of course, it was made worse by being squeezed in the back between Akira and Conrad, her two very strict bodyguards.She sighed, wondering how much longer until they’d get to Princeton Hotel and Resort here in Honolulu. After all, she was exhausted, as was everyone else, from the eleven-hour flight from New York.Beside her, Akira groaned as the woman continued to flutter a magazine about her, generating some sort of manmade fan to further help relieve herself of the intense heat.“It’s so hot,” she groaned tiredly. “I don’t know how much longer I can take this.” She flopped her head back and closed her eyes, the wind fluttering her short hair about her face.Jane, who was sitting in the front seat beside Sosuke, the driver, agreed with a nod of her h

Chapter 124: Sun, Sea, and Sakura – Part 2

After she had finished putting her things away into the drawers, Sakura wandered out onto the veranda to have a look at the view. She smiled as she gazed at the spectacular scenery before her, of an exquisite white sandy beach and deep blue sea that stretched beyond the horizon.“It’s beautiful,” she said softly, her heart glowing with delight at the sight she beheld. She decided she’d have a wonderful time here, relaxing and simply enjoying herself. It was her holiday, after all. Well, except, of course, for the photo shoot that was going to take place the day after tomorrow, which was never far from her mind.She dreaded it because she had never done anything like this before. Furthermore, she wasn’t even a model, and she didn’t even know how to do it right—the posing, the expressions, and everything else that made a photo turn out good. She was so afraid of ruining it for Mr. Tachibana and everyone else, wasting their time and effort. Besides the fact that she’d embarrass herself,

Chapter 125: Party and Barbeque – Part 1

Sakura, Sebastian, and Michael returned to the holiday house some ten minutes later, and by then the sun had already set. In the foyer, the trio was greeted by Tristan and Logan, who had been waiting for them.“What makes you so damned arrogant as to steal Sakura away for such a long time, Seb?” Tristan demanded the moment the trio stepped over the threshold of the holiday house. “It’s not like Sakura has already chosen you over us.” He turned to Sakura and asked, “Isn’t that right, darling?”Logan shook his head as he tsked in disapproval. “And to be out until dark, too. Who knows what naughty things you did to Sakura behind our backs, just so you can have an advantage over us? You certainly need to be disciplined by your elder, Seb.”Sebastian ignored his brothers’ teasing and asked instead, “I’m starving. When’s dinner?”Sakura said, “Just so you know, your brother didn’t do anything naughty, Logan. You need to have some trust in Sebastian.” She cocked her head to one side and smil

Chapter 126: Party and Barbeque – Part 2

The moment Sakura stepped across the threshold of the large, modern kitchen, loud chattering voices greeted her. To be sure, the atmosphere was indeed lively and busy. There was Beth along with the two maids, as well as Akira, Jane, and Ms. Ruka, busying themselves with preparing the evening meal. Sakura thought they looked like a bunch of housewives.As she headed toward Jane and Akira, she noted large platters of raw seafood as well as expensive cuts of red and white meat, sausages, and an assortment of vegetables for the barbeque. Already, her mouth was watering at the sight of such a delicious feast, and her tummy growled knowingly.“Hi, everyone,” she said, as she came to stand between Akira and Jane, who were preparing the vegetables.Akira was chopping red bell peppers into bite-sized pieces, while Jane did the button mushrooms. On the other side of the bench, Ms. Ruka was skewering the chopped peppers, button mushrooms, and onions, while one of the maids was marinating the chi

Chapter 127: Party and Barbeque – Part 3

Once they arrived at the barbeque house, Sakura did not miss the fact that it was indeed a state-of-the-art design. The equipment was top notch—gas barbeque, stove, oven, and marble benchtop. There was even a large sink for washing as well. Talk about convenient. Indeed, this was a man’s territory. Daddy James’s territory.Sakura and Akira were placing the platters of seafood onto the benchtop when Michael rushed up to them.“Whoa! Looks awesome,” he said, grinning from ear to ear, eyeing the platters. Turning to Akira, he told her, “I love barbeque because there’s lots of meat.”Akira chuckled. “I love barbeque, too, Michael.”Meanwhile, Sakura said to Daddy James, “We’ll go and get some more food.”Daddy James eyed the platters and said, “Thanks, girls. Now we can start cooking. I’m sure everyone is starving. Right, Michael?” He chuckled.Michael agreed by nodding.“You want to be my kitchen hand?” Daddy James asked the boy. Again, Michael nodded, this time enthusiastically.“How ab

Chapter 128: A Kiss in the Dark – Part 1

It had been a long day, and by the time Sakura was full from the delicious meal, she felt rather tired and light-headed. Of course, the constant flow of wine Tristan and Logan insistently poured into her glass undoubtedly added to those feelings. She must admit…the two brothers were rather good at their jobs as the hosts of the party, ensuring everyone was having a good time.At the moment, Tristan was reciting a tale of a particular adventure during the brothers’ teenage years, back when they used to live on St. Joseph Island, when Sakura had been living with them, but wasn’t really one of them. This particular one was about the brothers’ camping trip with their father on St. Joseph Island. There was something about a storm that night, and the boys had to sleep in a cave.Logan said, “It was awesome.” He chuckled. “I remember Conrad was so freaked out by the storm that he clung to Tristan.”Tristan nodded, a teasing grin on his lips. “That’s right. Conrad was shaking all over like a

Chapter 129: A Kiss in the Dark – Part 2

Sakura felt her body land softly on top of Darcy’s as he deepened the kiss and urged her lips to part for him. When she finally surrendered and did as he entreated, he plunged his tongue into her mouth, exploring and stroking her.Sakura groaned, and her whole body shook with undisguised pleasure as Darcy stroked his tongue deeply, kissing her so wildly and passionately that she became mindless and clung to him for dear life.By the time Darcy decided to pull back and terminate the kiss, Sakura was dazed and her body hot and shaky from the experience.Under the moonlight, Darcy stared long and hard at the woman he loved. She was so alluring, like a goddess under the moonlight, enticing and seducing him. He couldn’t help but swear under his breath. “Shit!”Sakura blinked, wondering why he was swearing, but of course, she did not know just how exotic she was at that moment, with her eyes bright and passionate, her cheeks flushing hot, and her lips blood red from the kiss.“Darcy?” she a
