WHAT A GIRL WANTS (Modern AU SasuSaku )

Chapter Sixteen

(Author's note: The point of view (POV) always shifted between the author's POV and Sakura's POV only, so don't get confused since I wanted to make the story flow naturally).

As the days passed and Sakura's suffering continued, Sasuke's frustration and worry grew. He couldn't bear to see the girl he loved in such agony, but Sakura's unwillingness to open up left him feeling helpless.

One day, as Sasuke was checking his email on his laptop, he noticed a new message with an attachment that sent shockwaves of fury through his veins. The subject line read, "A Secret I Bet You Didn't Know."

His heart pounding, Sasuke opened the email, and his eyes widened in disbelief and rage. There, on the screen, was an inappropriate photo of Sakura, unconscious and vulnerable, with Sasori's hand caressing her face. Sasori's signature Rolex watch glistened on his wrist.

The room seemed to spin as Sasuke's anger surged to the surface. In his mind, he couldn't fathom how anyone could have betrayed Sakura so cruelly. His fingers clenched into fists as he seethed with fury.

Without a second thought, Sasuke stormed out of his room and headed straight to Sakura's house, his mind consumed by thoughts of confrontation. He didn't notice the worried messages from Sakura, who had been trying to reach out to him, desperately wanting to explain her situation.

Sasuke reached Sakura's doorstep, his fists trembling with anger and his heart heavy with betrayal. He pounded on the door, and a surprised Sakura opened it, her eyes filled with fear and concern.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?" Sakura asked, her voice trembling as she saw the rage in his eyes.

Sasuke, still burning with fury, couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He shoved his laptop screen in Sakura's face, displaying the incriminating image of her with Sasori.

"What the hell is this, Sakura?" Sasuke's voice was filled with betrayal and anger. "Explain yourself!"

Sakura's eyes widened in shock as she saw the image, and she stepped back, her hands trembling. But it didn't take long for her to realize what had happened. She had seen enough of Sasori's manipulation to understand his twisted games.

"Sasuke, it's not what you think!" Sakura pleaded, her voice shaking with desperation. "I swear, I didn't send that photo. It's Sasori. He's been tormenting me, threatening to release those pictures."

Sasuke, still blinded by anger, couldn't see past his own rage. He lashed out, wrongly directing his fury at Sakura. "How could you let this happen? How could you put yourself in this situation?"

Tears welled up in Sakura's eyes as she tried to explain, "I didn't want any of this! I didn't have a choice!"

But Sasuke, in his blind rage, turned away from her and stormed off, leaving Sakura broken and betrayed on her doorstep.

Unbeknownst to Sasuke, the true villain, Sasori, was still lurking in the shadows, manipulating the situation to his advantage. The puppeteer's web of deception was far from unraveling, and Sakura was left to face the consequences of his cruel games alone.

As Sasuke stormed away from Sakura's house, his heart heavy with anger and confusion, Sakura watched him retreat with tears streaming down her face. She felt utterly defeated, betrayed not only by Sasori's manipulations but now also by the one person she thought would always be by her side.

Inside the dimly lit room, Sakura slumped onto her bed, her shoulders trembling with sobs. She knew she needed to explain the truth to Sasuke, but she also understood that her secrecy and Sasori's cunning had pushed him to the brink of frustration and anger.
