SarahWhile on the yacht and watching the beautiful sky, I heard Hayden's voice from behind making me turn to stare at him.I took off my sunglasses, and smiled at him, but as usual, Hayden isn't the kind of man that returns his smile."What are you doing out here?" He asked.I heaved, inhaling the sweet flowery air. "Came to watch the sky and the sea." And reply.2 days ago, I decided to take a break away from New York City and come to Paris. Hayden had agreed in one instant.Hayden also has a business meeting here, and so it's more like Killing two birds with a stone. He came closer to me, standing by my left side and watching the sky as well."You think my heart can be as beautiful as it.?" I questioned, avoiding his eyes. I was expecting a rude or annoying answer, but he surprised me instead."You have a beautiful heart Sarah, and it's just enough for you." He said, avoiding my eyes as well.I suddenly cocked my head to stare at him in surprise, wondering if he actually woke up a
Sarah…Before Hayden's meeting with one of his business partner would commence, Hayden took my hands and we both walked into the plane.On the air, it was such a lovely sight to behold even though I had l no idea the reason why he was doing all of what he was doing.I had thought this was the surprise; Coming out to have so much fun and forget my past even for a little bit.If that was it, then it was definitely working.Most times, I could not stop staring hard at Hayden. Just a glance at his eyes, I saw fear in them.About 3 hours later, the plane landed back to the exact spot we had borded it, and we both stepped down. It was hard figuring out if Hayden was doing all of these because he truly meant it, or because of the public and our contract."We'll go have some refreshments, and our guests will arrive Sarah." Hayden informed, making me halt."Earlier…. I thought that was the surprise." I blurted loudly.He scoffed, halting as well and turning back to stare at me."Really? That w
Becky..The very moment I came back to my senses, I immediately rose up on my feet, squeezing the pieces of paper in my palm.There was only one thing I thought of doing, and definitely was going to do. In a haste, I exited the restroom and came back to the hall room.My eyes had turned bloody red from the round pretty soul they were earlier. The piece of paper was still crumbling in my palm and each time I looked around to search for the man who had brought them, I tightened them in my palm more.When it felt like an impossible mission to find him, I ran up to Clark.He caught me in his arms, hugging me tight as I could only cry in his arms."Clark…." "What is it baby?" He answered, with a worried look attached on his face. He raised my chin up with his fingers, staring at me."Clark…" I called again, allowing my tears to escape my eyes freely. "There's trouble. Let's talk in private, Clark."He immediately held my hand and walked me away. We both got into a private room.Clark loc
BeckyThe loud, painful sound of my father's palm resounded on my face, turning my cheek as white as snow. My father had slapped me.My face was forcefully cocked towards the left side as a tear rolled down my cheek."Father!" I called, "Shut the hell up Becky, shut it!" He yelled back at me.I knew the reason for his rage, but I decided to play ignorant and deny every single allegations."What happened? I decided to trust you once again, and this is how you pay me? We had a simple deal to close Becky and yet you chose that bastard of a man over your own family?" I remained silent, mostly because my words were stuck in my throat.I could see the anger in his eyes. The anger that made him almost want to strangle me."I'm sorry father. It wasn't intentional." I replied, hoping he would believe me."Intentional? Do you still take me for a fool Becky? I can see through your lies because you're my daughter."He still does not have a way of proving it, so I thought I still had a chance in
Sarah…Because of me, Hayden had to forfeit everything and head back to New York. Throughout the ride, I wasn't in my right state of mind as the only person I could think of was my father. I had read about his condition on the news, and it wasn't something that needed to be joked with. Even though I hated him for abandoning me and casting me aside, I was still immensely worried.My legs and hands kept shaking repeatedly. I couldn't control it. Hayden came closer to me and held my shaky hands, but that wasn't enough to keep me calm."He'll be fine Sarah, trust me." He assured me, but then I shook my head in disapproval."You don't understand Hayden…. I really don't wanna…" He pulled me into a tight embrace even before I could complete my statement, making me cry even more on his shoulders.Very soon, we were back to New York. I rushed out of the plane and headed straight for the car that had come to pick us up.A 3 hour journey and we were standing right in front of the hospital my f
"Hayden's POV"Making a stop at my favorite drinking spot with Ray, I got down from my car and walked in. I had earlier called Ray that I needed to see him. I took a seat in the usual position which had always been kept for Ray and I, and brought out my phone.I was more in a state of confusion like no other before. My heart had not stopped thumping hard and even harder since I laid my eyes on him. Even while I was watching Sarah sob close to him, I could feel something changing.There were unexplainable feelings surging through my entire body. Shouldn't I hate him with so much passion? But then why was there a little trace of pity in my eyes. What emotions had spurred out from me.I tightened my hands into fist at the thought of it. I could have broken the glass right in front of me, but Ray rushed towards me and collected it before I would do something stupid."Hey…. What's wrong?" He questioned, staring at me.The last time he had seen me this way was the very day that I had gone
Earlier…. (Clark)"How long can you keep hiding? One way or the other, they'll find you." I said to Ethan who was still on his knees with purplish eyeballs.I had two more of my guards behind me, but armed with guns.He jammed his palm together, so much dear evident in his eyes."Please, we can sort this out sir. I did everything you asked of me. Even with your dirty work, and now that you don't need me anymore, you wanna get rid of me?""That's the trick Ethan. You know too much to stay alive." I replied coldly without any emotions in my eyes."No! I'll leave. Just send me out of the country, and I'll never return again. I'll die with your secrets sir." He pleaded again, but honestly, I wasn't ready to take chances yet.I wasn't ready to give Sarah and Hayden the slightest chance of digging back into my dirts and past.I sighed heavily like I was contemplating on what he had just suggested.Then I turned to my guards and whispered a few words into their ears."I hope you never get th
SarahThe room now fully calm, silent and empty except with only me and Mr Rodriguez still left behind, I turned back to face him.I had been staring at the sky from the window earlier, with a lot on my mind as well. I still believe I have so much to settle, so much to do, and so many wrongs to put right back into place."Mr Rodriguez." I called his name, folding my arms underneath my breast like a business woman, like the Sarah Lane he knew some months back."Thank you so much for your help. I couldn't have done it if it weren't for you. I know this could mean danger to your legal career just like I said earlier, but I'll ensure nothing wrong happens in the future."He nodded his head."I have trust in you Sarah."Feeling so emotional, I walked towards him and gave him a warm embrace."Thank you so much" I whispered as he kept tapping my back.Earlier….After the call ended, I stood still at the upper floor waiting for Mr Rodriguez's arrival. There was just one thing I needed from hi
