Chapter 704 - She is Back
After that, things went by pretty fast and smoothly. A new routine and life started for Kyle (and Sayuri).
It took Derek about a week to break the news to Junior about Samantha being unwell. He didn't tell her the condition, but that his mother needed some help and was in the hospital.
Junior was agreeable to staying with Kyle and Sayuri, and the nursery was converted into his bedroom. Kyle hired an au pair for Junior since he and Sayuri were busy working. However, instead of staying with them, the au pair stayed in the apartment unit beside them. Kyle felt it was best to just have her come in the mornings and leave at night.
Junior started pre-school at the same school Lianne and Joseph goes to. Their school had all three stages: pre-school, primary, and secondary school. Kyle was glad of that, for it meant that all his kids would be in one place.
As for Samantha, she was slowly starting to heal.
Unfortunately, since she was a bit violent during the initial stage, Junior had not been allowed to meet up with her. Samantha had been angry and in denial, refusing to believe what Derek confessed at having done, and even ripped the copy of the real DNA report.
After two weeks, Samantha began being less aggressive. Partly because her doctor was patient and kept focusing on the truth each day, and partly because she missed her son badly. She wanted to see him, but she could not until she calmed down.
Once the doctor gave the green light, Junior would come to visit once every two days. One of those times, it would be Kyle who brought Junior over. Otherwise, it would be the Dian, the au pair.
Seeing Kyle was also part of her healing process. After each visit, the doctor would reiterate and reinforce the truth upon her. At first, Kyle was hesitant to show himself, but since the doctor in charge of her had deemed otherwise, Kyle wouldn't second-guess him.
Kyle would also visit home often with Sayuri and Junior.
When Kyle had first told his parents about him fostering, Delilah had been so shocked that she almost fainted. Her son was only 20 years old and was already going to have two kids?
Still, she was proud of him wanting to take up this responsibility even though none of it was his fault. Patrick pointed out that Kyle was probably like this due to her social work and how Kyle had been exposed to such broken families.
And so, the people at Smith Industries HQ were given a double-blow.
First, the memo that stated Sayuri had the same clearance as the Elite Five. She was the first 'outsider' to be given such preferential treatment. There were talks and whispered rumours about Sayuri being the Lady Boss, though everyone felt it was rather far-fetched.
After all, the CEO didn't seem to be like a person in love - he was still stone cold and domineering.
Then, the second blow was delivered when Sayuri came to HQ, obviously pregnant.
The dreams of over-ambitious girls shattered.
More so when they saw how their CEO treated Sayuri as they went back. He actually looked human.
Only one person didn't give up, however.
Even after hearing about Sayuri, even after seeing with her own eyes how gentle Kyle was towards Sayuri, and even after seeing that Sayuri was pregnant.
She hid behind the pillar, watching those two leave with malice in her eyes.
That position beside Kyle was supposed to be hers.
"Sarah! There you are," came a voice from behind her.
Sarah turned, a smile on her lips,? "I'm sorry. I was a bit distracted when the CEO suddenly showed up."
"Oh, I know how that is," the girl giggled, "Such an eye-candy, huh? Too bad he's already taken."
"But I didn't hear the CEO getting married?" Sarah queried.
"Maybe they're keeping it low key? Who knows? Come on, let me show you your office," the girl was saying and Sarah followed obediently.
She had worked hard to get to this position. It was the culmination of all her hard work. No way was she going to let yet another girl stand beside him.
She had known that he wouldn't have stayed with that girl all those years ago. Hah. She had shown off so much but where was she now? Definitely not pregnant and beside him.
Sarah had been sure then, and even more sure now, that the only person that was fated to be by Kyle's side is her. Otherwise, why hadn't all the girls he was with, stick?
Sayuri, huh?
If she had known that Sayuri would have been a love rival, she would have dealt with it then. Nevermind. What's done is done.
She is back to take back what is hers.

"You felt that, didn't you?" Sayuri asked as they entered the car.
"Of course," Kyle said, "I'll get a bodyguard for you."
"You think I can't handle it?"
Kyle smiled indulgently at her and placed his hand on her stomach, "You have this little one now and your movements are restricted. Let other people take care of such things, okay?"
"Okay," Sayuri agreed readily.
She wasn't stupid nor too proud to reject his care. Sayuri had come to the HQ to wait for Kyle to finish his meeting so that they can then head over for her pre-natal check-up. Kyle had wanted to pick her up from home, but she had wanted to go shopping before that.
Little did she think she would be the target of such a malicious look. Jealous ones, yes. But this?
"Just who is so brazen enough to covet you now?" Sayuri asked Kyle.
He shrugged, "How would I know?"
Sayuri sighed and stroked her round stomach. Kyle placed his hands on hers and said, "I'll deal with it."
"You'd better," Sayuri replied.
