Chapter 747 - Who was he? (1/2)

Sarah screamed soundlessly into the towel as she watched Kyle shoot Ed.

She couldn't see what happened but she heard the muffled shot then a thud as something fell onto the ground. When Kyle stepped back, she could see the legs of someone, lying flat on the ground.

Sayuri let go of Sarah then, while Sarah ran to the figure. Kyle caught her just as she was about to pass, effectively chocking her as he held on to the back of her shirt.

She saw Ed's lifeless body, his eyes open and staring blankly at the ceiling while his c.h.e.s.t had this red patch and blood was pooled on the floor.

”Serves him right for trying to help you escape,” Kyle hissed and flung Sarah back into the room.

He closed the door and wiped his hand on the bathrobe in disgust, as if touching her was horrible. The sight of Kyle doing so caused her more pain.

Sarah fell hard onto the floor, her legs weak and her heart in turmoil. She couldn't think straight anymore.

Too many things happened, one shocking thing after another.

She looked at the cold Kyle with new eyes.

This was not the Kyle she knew.

The Kyle she knew was kind, sweet, and loving. This one was an indifferent, cold-blooded murderer. Who was he? What happened to him? How could this be?

Her eyes landed on Sayuri, who was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, looking at her in a rather bored manner. Worst of all, she was dressed in Kyle's shirt, which only reached mid-t.h.i.g.h.

”Kyle …” Sarah started to say, her eyes glistening with tears again.

”You, shut up,” Sayuri said, looking at her in disdain with her chin tilted slightly to the side.

From Sarah's perspective, it looked like Sayuri was the Queen, looking down on her subjects as they were being addressed. Sarah didn't like the feeling, but she couldn't help but cower in the face of that domineering aura that Sayuri was giving out.

”You tried to kill me,” Sayuri began, ”And my babies. For that, you deserve to die.”

Sarah shivered, hearing the coldness and finality in Sayuri's voice.

At one time, she felt Sayuri wasn't a threat. Well, other than being the woman that had tricked Kyle - but overall, just a normal person. She didn't think Sayuri was capable of anything other than being a useless and mindless person at home.

Yet, right now, that thought wasn't in her mind at all.

The person sitting there did not seem normal.

There was a slight regret in Sarah's heart at that moment.

Regret for not making sure Sayuri was dead. She should have plunged a knife into her heart or something. Trying to make it look like an accident had only turned around to bite her back.

”But, I'm not like you,” Sayuri said, ”Sneaking up on a helpless person, literally kicking them when they are down.”

Sarah didn't dare look up, though hope started in her heart. Perhaps Sayuri wasn't as cold as she thought. She really was a wimp then.

”I'm more of the 'in-your-face' sort of person,” Sayuri continued, ”I will give you one chance. Just one chance to redeem yourself.”

Sarah gulped and looked up.

”Redeem?” she whispered, asking.
