Sakura sat captive, her wrists bound to the chair, in a dimly lit room. Akira's sinister smile haunted her.
"You'll never escape," Akira taunted, her voice dripping with malice.
Sakura refused to break, despite fear creeping up her spine.
"Akira, you'll pay for this," Sakura vowed, her voice steady.
Akira chuckled, confident in her plan.
"You're no match for me," Akira said. "Especially with my ally's help."
Sakura's curiosity piqued. Who could Akira's ally be?
"Who's your ally?" Sakura asked, eyes locked onto Akira.
Akira leaned in, voice barely above a whisper.
"Taro's business partner," Akira revealed. "The one who helped ruin Kaito's father."
Sakura's eyes widened, shocked by the revelation.
"Ryota's uncle, Kenji?" Sakura guessed, connecting the dots.
Akira's smile confirmed Sakura's suspicion.
"Kenji's resources and my cunning will crush Kaito," Akira boasted.
Sakura's heart sank. Kenji's involvement escalated the danger.
"How did you convince Kenji?" Sakura asked, seeking understanding.
Akira's eyes gleamed.
"Kenji seeks revenge against Kaito's family," Akira explained. "He believes Kaito's father betrayed him."
Sakura understood the depth of Akira's plan.
"You're using Kenji for your revenge," Sakura accused.
Akira shrugged.
"Whatever means necessary," Akira said.
Sakura realized Kaito's danger. She must escape.
"I won't let you harm Kaito," Sakura vowed.
Akira laughed.
"We'll see," Akira said.
As Akira left, Sakura pondered her situation.
"I must escape," Sakura thought.
Sakura began to formulate a plan.
