Chapter 60: Tragedy – Part 1

Sakura woke up late the next day since she didn’t get to sleep until about five in the morning. She came down for brunch feeling a bit out of sorts and also noticed that the house was still as quiet as ever. Perhaps everyone was also still in bed because they hadn’t returned home until very early this morning from their night out. “My, my,” Beth commented. “You do look horrible.” Sakura chuckled. “I couldn’t sleep last night.” “Yeah, I can understand that. You’ve seen your best friend getting married and settling down, and now you want that for yourself, too.” Sakura wanted to tell her that wasn’t it. The reason she couldn’t sleep was because of that secret kiss last night in the garden by— No, don’t think about it, Sakura. She stood up and said, “I’m going out for a walk along St. Helena Beach. Won’t be back till much later.” “I see you’re planning to skip lunch yet again?” Beth asked, her brows nearly up to her gray hairline. Sakura just laughed and walked to the door, ignori

Chapter 61: Tragedy – Part 2

When Sakura managed to gain control of her body again, she looked up to see Kate taking a Swiss Army knife out of her belt. Sakura gritted her teeth and pushed herself up, ignoring the pain that was coursing through her body. She tried to get up but found that her body was too weak and the pain was too unbearable. Suddenly Kate was on top of her, kneeing her to the ground. Sakura watched in horror as Kate brought the Swiss Army knife down toward her. She screamed, and instantly, before the knife could cut her flesh, Sakura’s hand shot out and held Kate’s wrist, stopping her in time. “Why are you doing this?” she panted out lowly, her face pale. “To get rid of you. You’ve destroyed too many lives. You’ve destroyed Tara’s life. You’ve destroyed Alaina’s life. They’re my best friends. Now you’ve also destroyed my life. You took my Darcy away from me. You’ve ruined my life, you bitch.” Kate applied more force, her face red as she brought the knife closer to Sakura’s throat, ready to s

Chapter 62: Confession

Sakura slowly opened her eyes. Why was she so sore? She groaned in pain as she brought her hand up to touch her forehead. Oh, God, her head was aching something sorely. Suddenly, she realized there were long lines of IV tubes connected to her arm. Where am I? She tried to sit up but found she couldn’t. “Don’t move,” she heard someone say to her softly. Sakura turned to see Sebastian moving toward her from where he sat. He touched his warm hand to her cheek, cupping her face. “Lie back,” he said. She obeyed him. Sebastian pulled the blanket up to her chin as he watched her. “Where am I?” she asked weakly. “In the hospital,” he said. “Oh,” she voiced, staring up at the ceiling. Then she closed her eyes again, trying to think what had happened. Her head hurt. Why was it so painful? Then slowly everything came back to her. The storm. Kate. Conrad. Her falling from the cliff. The last thing she remembered was her flying down, hitting the water, and then drowning. She had thought t

Chapter 63: Sayonara, My Beautiful Family

Sakura lay there, watching the moon rising high above in the night sky. It was beautiful, and it reminded her of that night in the garden after she’d returned from Mary and Peter’s wedding. It reminded her of the man who had secretly kissed her. Darce. My dear Darce, she thought. At least he was saved. She closed her eyes, thinking about him, thinking of their childhood together, of the fun they’d had under that sakura tree in the woods. She thought of her stroking his dark hair as he lay there on her lap and stared up at the bright blue sky. It had been a beautiful childhood even though it had only been for a very short while. That was until the world and everyone had turned against her. Now, however, she was resolved not to think about those horrid experiences. Now she wanted to put everything in the past. She wanted to move forward. She wanted to make her own path and forge her own future. And even though she knew she’d break many hearts doing so, she knew also that it was the onl

Chapter 64: Hearts Broken

Hand in hand, James and Brenda walked up the stairs to their bedroom on the first floor. As they came into the room, they immediately saw the little card sitting on the large king-size bed. James knew immediately who it was from and nearly broke down. However, he managed to control himself and picked up the card. I love you, Daddy James and Mom Brenda. I will always be your daughter Sakura, no matter who I am or where I am. Brenda came to read the card by her husband and gasped out in anguish, tears rolling down her cheeks. James took her into his arms as tears, too, rolled down his cheeks. *** Nicolas came into his bedroom as he checked his e-mail on his tablet. Once he’d finished replying to the various messages that needed his attention pronto, he put down the tablet and finally noticed the pretty card that sat in the middle of his bed. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, wondering whom it was from. He picked up the card. It had a pretty hand-painted picture of ch

Chapter 65: A New Beginning

It was morning and the bright orange sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon. Sakura raised her face and breathed in the fresh air. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the Statue of Liberty and in the distance New York City. Behind her, Ned folded his arms across his chest as he watched her, a smile on his face. Toby, who was in Sakura’s arms, licked her chin. She turned her attention to him then and smiled. “Look, Toby, our new home,” she said, pointing to the city beyond. The dog barked happily, and she laughed. She was heading to her new home and her new future. At that moment, the sun rose just above her, shining down on her, which gave her an orange picturesque beauty that if anyone cared to look would have taken their breath away. Sakura felt at peace as her serene face gazed off into the distance. Now, she was no longer Sakura Princeton. From this day forward and beyond, she was Sakura Tanaka, and she so looked forward to her new future. “Sebastian,” she whisper

Chapter 66: A Mother’s Regret

A note on Japanese honorifics and family members' words used in the story starting from this point onward. Japanese Honorifics -San: Derived from sama, is the most commonplace honorific, and is a title of respect typically used between equals of any age. E.g. Sebastian-san. -Sama: Is a markedly more respectful version of san and can be used for any gender. It is used mainly to refer to people much higher in rank than oneself. E.g. Oka-sama (mother). -Kun: Is used by people of senior status in addressing or referring to those of junior status, or by anyone when addressing or referring to male children or male teenagers, or among male friends. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for a long period of time. E.g.

Chapter 67: Sakura Tanaka, Lady of Beauty – Part 1

It didn’t turn out right. It was supposed to be a dragon, but this piece of artwork looked more like a teddy bear gone seriously wrong than a dragon. Sakura Tanaka sighed with vexation as she put down the jug of hot milk. She’d just have to practice some more, she supposed. She placed the two cups of coffee onto an antique silver tray and turned to her two guests, brother and sister Luke and Jane Hamilton, who were waiting patiently for their hot drinks. “Sorry about that,” she said softly, placing the tray onto the coffee table before them. “My coffee art seems to have taken a turn for the worse recently.” “No worries,” Jane said, gladly taking a cup. “I’m not here for the art. I’m here for the coffee. It’s totally worth waiting for.” She inhaled the lovely aroma as she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her thick glasses were already fogged up from the hot steam. Jane didn’t care, however, and took a quick sip. The hot liquid burned her tongue, and she quickly swallowed.

Chapter 68: Sakura Tanaka, Lady of Beauty – Part 2

Jane thought of something rather interesting. There was something in Sakura Tanaka that reminded her of Haruka Suzuki. Perhaps it was in the way they walked, the way they talked, or even the way they did things. They were oddly similar. Then again, Jane thought that was of course stupid and brushed the very idea off her mind. “You’re being nosy, aren’t you? Well, I don’t blame you. If you happened to meet her, remember to always refer to her as a her and call her Ms. Ruka. Got it?” Sakura didn’t get it, but nodded anyway. She thought her biological mother sounded a bit weird, but then again, who was she to judge? She decided to change the subject. “What’s the inside gossip?” Jane took another sip of her coffee and sighed. “Mr. Tachibana is totally at a loss. He’s tearing his hair out trying to find eight perfect male models to cast for his new menswear collection.” Sakura cocked her head to one side. “But there are plenty of hot male models out there. Surely it wouldn’t be that ha

Chapter 69: Darcy Princeton, Knight of Darkness – Part 1

Darcy found himself once again at St. Helena Beach, surfing the big waves. But instead of surfing with his brothers, he was alone, all by himself, surfing but not surfing, and neither was he enjoying himself like he used to. There was something missing. It was as if he were a body without a soul, as if he were breathing but not really breathing, as if his heart kept beating but not really beating. In the distance, he could see a storm brewing that looked as though it were heading straight toward him. Then he saw the waves—enormous waves—looming over him and then crashing down on him. He fought the current, fought so hard, fought until he was exhausted. Once he managed to reach the surface, he looked around, alone in the vast ocean. Oh God! The ache within his heart. Why? Then the scream penetrated his mind—loud, long, and echoing with agony and death. He saw her body falling and then… Splash! “Sakura!” He found himself in the angry sea once again, fighting to get to her, fighting
