Sakura open her eyes only to see a dark room. Last night, she was devastated because she can't contact Emily and Yue is no use in helping her. Until, she felt a warm blanket embraces her. In her current surroundings she has no clue what was happening then she look when the door sudden open, revealing a man looking at his forties. His eyes suddenly became red upon seeing her.

"Sakura, my daughter", he said.

Sakura tried to open her mouth but no words came out. She just lowered her head afraid that she may be out of character if she show her face. To Kiro, it was justify for his daughter to act like he was a stranger because for the very first time she encounter him he was a stranger to him. He sat on the bedside and look calmly at his daughter.

"I know. It's very strange. To meet your father after eighteen years. I didn't even know your existence at first until recently I receive the letter from your mother. I'm sorry about her"

Sakura cried suddenly upon mentioning her mother. She died because of an illness yet she did everything she can to give everything she needed in life. Her father embraces and tries to soothed her back. All the pain of the old Sakura she delivered it all to empty her broken soul.

Long moment past until her father told her his own version of story. He said that he tried to reunite with her mother but he didn't know that her mother already gone to France. Her father didn't marry anyone after that, his heart remain loyal to her decease mother.

"You did manage to inherit her beautiful face though you get the color of my hair", Kiro said with a warm smile.

Sakura remain silent while caressing her big tummy. She was almost nine months and any later she would gave birth to her baby.

"Do you want me to revenge for you, princess?" Her father asked her. Sakura shakes her head.

"After I gave birth to her, let me do it father"

"How do you know it's a girl?"

"I'm pretty being pregnant. That makes my child a girl"

"If you say so. Just say something if you need anything. I'm willing to help in any way I can to repay my eighteen years of debt"

She looked up at her father. "Your existence is enough father"

After her father left, Sakura made Yue scan her body. She was surprise not only shocked that she is pregnant with a twin. One boy and a girl. Tsk. That bastard sure is great at shooting his seed after denying his right.

Get away from my life. That child will never be my heir, this or the next life.

A vicious smile crawl at Sakura's lips. "Let's see what this pieces will do to you after you disowned them in the future"

For the next two days, Kiro held a big party to welcome his daughter to the entertainment world. As an owner of a famous network, everyone was looking forward the day they will saw the Jade Network next empress. Sakura's pregnancy didn't pinch any hint of beauty on her rather it added her a refreshing look of blooming mother. Her curl hair was braided leaving some strand falling in her face.

Many reporters bombard her with question but as just as she rehearse, she just smiled and proudly said that the man died long before she knew her pregnancy. Some reporters from other network connecting her name to the male lead but she denied saying that a good Samaritan, should stay a good Samaritan. She means, that whoever that bastard is even if it was the male lead it must stay unheard because it only a sick in stomach to hear those names.

She doesn't know that a certain man is watching the broadcast while clenching his fist. He had a turmoil forming inside his head upon hearing her words.

"Any message, Miss Perez to that man?" a reporter asked. Sakura smiled but it was a sarcastic one.

"Thank you for breaking my heart. Bastard"
