New Life : A Second Chance

A Philip Patek watch?! The cheapest one was already way beyond what he would make in several lifetimes.

Hamdam gulped.

Yet, the guy was not fighting him and instead, stepped aside?

Hamdan just sat there, surprised. Sari, however, was not frozen like him.

She ran after Kyle.

Kyle heard her running after him, but he wasn\'t ready to see her, or talk to her. He was barely holding on to his sanity as it was.

So he simply quickened his steps and before she knew it, she lost sight of him.

She stopped, tears falling down her face as she bit her lower lips.

She looked all around her frantically but could not see him anywhere.

She couldn\'t believe what had happened.

That\'s it? It was over?

He hadn\'t even been angry at her.

He even told his competitor to take care of her.

She would have been able to accept his anger, his harsh words … anything. But not this.

So it was true.

Her greatest fear was realised.

What Dina said was correct. His lack of reaction showed that he didn\'t really love her as much as she loved him.

When Hamdan had confessed, Sari had been shocked.

Then, flattered.

Naturally, she started comparing everything about Hamdan, with Kyle.

She realised, even if she was not deeply in love with Hamdan, she was far more comfortable with him than with Kyle. She had been apart from Kyle for so long that she started thinking as well whether it had all been a dream.

Before she knew it, she had nodded in agreement.

Yet, when she saw Kyle just now, all the love she had for him surfaced again. She knew that her feelings for Kyle were just as strong.

Yet, he just left like that?

Hamdan came by then and seeing her crying face, he hugged her tightly.

Sari didn\'t resist and continued to cry in his arms, feeling both sad … and relieved … at the same time.

Kyle watched this from afar, his heart turning colder than ever.

He took out the ring from his pocket and looked at the casing. In disgust, he threw it into the nearby dustbin.

Two lifetimes, and in each life, the person he had whole-heartedly loved, rejected him. In one way or another.

He was never good enough.

He was so done with this sh*t.

Kay was on the floor of the hotel room, gasping as she was sobbing uncontrollably. She was curled up like a ball as she hugged her knees while she continued crying.

She felt like her heart was being ripped out.

She felt like her entire body was being cut sliced with numerous paper cuts.

She knew she was feeling Kyle\'s pain.

She tried to block it out but it was useless.

The pain she was feeling, from Kyle, was so strong that all the barriers broke apart.

When Kay had suddenly clutched at her chest and started crying, everyone panicked.

Xing Han panicked, not knowing what to do. In the end, he just lay down behind her and hugged her tight.

Ali was in front of her, patting her hair and stroking it like he would a baby. Sam was at her feet, patting her thigh, like how one would when putting a baby to sleep.

"F..find Kyle," Kay managed to stammer, "It\'s … it\'s … his pain … I am feeling."

Sam quickly got up and called Kyle.

There was no answer and he got the message that the phone was out of range.

Sam then headed to his laptop and checked the tracking program.

Every Elite Five member had a tracking device on them, placed on one item that they would never take out. In Kyle\'s case, it was his watch.

Sam cursed, saying, "He disabled it."

Xing Han hugged Kay tighter, stating the obvious, "He wants to be alone."

Sam called up the two agents that had been tasked to watch over Sari. After a short conversation, he put down the phone with a frown.

"What happened?"

Sam\'s mind was reeling over the information Grace and Kristi had told him.

He looked at the others who were waiting for an answer.

"Did she reject his proposal?" Ali asked, thinking that to be the only answer.

"He never even asked," Sam said.

"What? Why?! He was so excited when he left!" Xing Han said, "He was so happy and rushing out, telling us to wait and not spoil his reunion. How could he not ask her?!"

Sam looked at them, pain in his eyes, "She … well, he … he broke up with her, so that she could be free to be with another guy."

Silence descended upon the entire group.

Even Kay had stopped crying.

The moment those words hit her ears, she got insanely angry. So angry that it overrode the intense sadness that had been hitting her so hard.

No wonder Kyle was so devastated.

She hissed, as she slowly got up, "Call Grace and Kristi here to give me the full report."

The three Elite Five guys gulped.

They had not seen the Smith Anger on Kay before.

It was deathly scary.

She didn\'t shout and smash things apart like Kyle did.

Instead, she was silent.

She was just sitting there, doing nothing.

Yet, just by looking at her, one felt intense fear rising up without rhyme or reason.

Ali, Xing Han, and Sam backed away.

That night, a horrifying incident spread across the seedier parts of the city.

Several drug dens were destroyed, and the workers inside were found tied up outside in their underwear.

Loan sharks were robbed, their safe emptied and all the IOUs destroyed.

And that was only the beginning.
