The hall was magnificent. I walked majestically with Becky holding my gown and my hand, and every single step made the smile on my face grow wider. My face was covered with a vast, but I could still see Hayden standing right in front of the priest, and patiently waiting for me. I took my steps slowly, steadily. I shouldn't make him wait, but I wanted to just a little.Finally, I was standing right in front of him. In front of the man who would become mine in a few minutes time.I love seeing him smile. I was nervous on this day, and so was he.Our companies would merge after this marriage. It was for the best, and it was for the future. HAYDEN: I vow to love you faithfully, forsaking all others. I promise to love, to trust, and respect you. To comfort you in times of need, and keep you safe. All that I have is now yours. To never hurt you, to call you mine, and stay right beside you in times of trouble. I promise to give you my hands and my heart for as long as we both shall live, Sa
Hayden"Your wife is awake now." The doctor Informed me and I immediately rushed up on my feet. "You did a great job in there, thank you Mr Hayden." She said, and I nodded. "The babies are fine and healthy too, but she'll be on her feet in a few days time and ready to be discharged.Ray and I started walking towards Sarah's ward, and I stepped in. I met Sarah sitting upright on the bed. I had thought it would take her so long to wake, but it took only a few hours. She's truly a warrior, and I couldn't be more proud of her. I couldn't love her less. I was going to spend the rest of my life making this woman happy.She smiled at me when she saw me."Hayden." She called my name softly."I did it!""Yes baby, you did, and I'm fucking so proud of you right now. Thank you for making me a father. Thank you fir fighting so hard for me and our babies.""You like my surprise?""You knew it was twins all along?" She nodded her head with a smile and I chuckled. "I could never ask for more. Than
“Are you going to sign it or not?" I could feel his heavy eyes on me as he spoke, my fingers grip the pen I was holding as my eyes fell on the contract scanning it for the millionth time. ”This is absolutely crazy, you know?" The words escaped my mouth before I could even think it over, and my fingers shook with hesitation. I expected him to snap at me again but he just shrugged his shoulders. “It is...” “Why me?... I have literally nothing to offer you wouldn't it be better if you give this to another woman?" There was silence for a moment then in his usual calm,monotone voice he said. ”It's exactly because you have nothing to lose that makes you perfect for this job.“ He was right, I thought as I finally placed the pen on the contract and in a few moments my signature was looking back at me. What had I done?I had just made a deal with a monster. If someone had told me over a month ago that I would be in this situation I would have laughed in their face but that was becaus
Ma'm the CEO wants to see you," I carried my eyes away from my laptop, to my secretary as I cooked up my left eyebrow. "My father wants to see me?" she nodded. "Don't worry, tell him I'll be there in about five minutes. I have a meeting right now." "Actually he told me to cancel your meeting, and that you have to come and see him right this minute" I wondered what was so urgent that my father would even have my secretary cancel my meeting. I guess there was only one way to find out. I got up and then made a beeline to my father's office and all along the way I could hear whispers from the cubicles of the officers that I passed by and how their eyes were on me. I had expected them to talk about my wedding that had been called off, but I didn't understand why they were doing it so intensely. Finally when I walked to the office I saw that my mother was also there. I went to both of them and saw that their eyes had become cold. Those were not the eyes that my parents often used to lo
Sarah's POV As I was walking on the road a car zoomed past me splashing puddle water on my body, then I rushed in after the car yelling loudly and pouring curses on the driver. Just then I heard the horn of a car and my head snapped behind me. The lights of the car were getting closer and the horn was about to make my ears explode but my legs were not moving a single inch at all. What was the point? Suddenly the blinding light turned off like a switch that had flicked, for a moment my whole body was numb then I could suddenly feel everything. The pain gript my entire being when my eyelid peeled open, the metallic taste of blood was in my mouth and I could not even twitch a finger. The driver that had hit me only parked for a few seconds, then suddenly the door was flung open but then nobody stepped out. Suddenly the door slams shut again and the driver just zoomed past me. When the hit and run driver abandoned me to my fate, I didn't even curse him... There was no point in
Sarah's pov “Marry me?” I laughed so hard that my ribcage began to ache,which did not really take longer because the car that had hit me had obviously broken some of them. “Are you done yet or do you want to keep on going?" ” Actually I think I'll keep going because this has to be one of the funniest jokes of the century...“ Hayden Smith, one of the most notorious Playboys of the country, wanted to settle down and of all people he chose the rejected heiress. It was really worth cracking a few more ribs.” Is this your way of mocking me?“ ” Do I look like a man that plays around? I am being 100% serious right now?" I tried to sit up but my body ached too much to allow me so I just lay down again, blinking at him with utter astonishment. “Your reputation aside, we don't even know each other!”I said to him and he just sighed. “Are you saying that you don't know THE Hayden Smith?" Wow this guy is really full of himself wasn't he? I had thought. ” Well I know who you are from th
Hayden's POV “So, the first phase of your plan is now finally complete, congratulations man...” My best friend said sipping his glass of whiskey, the hotel bar was becoming stuffier by the second I knew we should have reserved this place but my best friend had insisted that we didn't because he wanted to find some cheap girl to pick up for the night. “It's hardly time to even begin celebrating, I'm still very far from what I actually want, Ray.” “Well the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step my dear friend...” he said as he signaled the attacks will refill his glass again. “But why did you lie to her that you were going on a business trip?" I knew that he was eventually going to ask this question. ” There's no need for me to be around her if she isn't going to be of use to me yet.“I replied the same glass of whiskey that I had been holding while my friend was on his third. ”True, true...“He nodded. ” But that doesn't really answer my question: why did y
Sarah."Hello…" My voice echoed again, but instead, I got no reply. It immediately dawned on me that he ended the call seconds ago.Taking a deep breath, I fell down back on the huge bed, while facing the ceiling and rolling my hands around to feel the emptiness of it.What was the essence of sleeping all alone in such huge bed, when I have no one by my side, and even now my contract husband keeps acting weird and pushing me away.My thoughts suddenly drifted off too Clark, and my grip on the bed spread tightened. I found a tear escaping through the corners of my eyes, as I recalled what he did to me. Most especially my sister Becky. I trusted her, and spoilt her so much that I never imagined she would ever betray me this way.Suddenly, I felt my throat dry up, and I instantly sat up back on the bed. Reaching for my crutches, I got up from the bed and started towards the door because I needed a glass of water.I could have easily just reached for the bell on the table close to me and
