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
HaydenWhy do I suddenly feel kind of happy hearing those words from Sarah? I cleared my throat when I suddenly came back to my senses."Have you forgotten the rules Sarah? No feelings." I reminded her.She scoffed, and then wiggled her hands up in the air."Shitttt… what's with you and the rules all the time Hayden. I got to go…. Will you excuse me?" "Where?" I questioned."Why do you care, Hayden? I got to go…" She repeated, trying to struggle, but I held her back on the couch."You really don't know what you're saying Sarah. I'll take you up to your room.""Says who? I'm completely fine. I'll go by myself."I shook my head again as she continued struggling out of my grip."You really leave me no other choice Sarah." I said, staring at her lips,Before she could reply again, I grabbed her and carried her on my shoulders.Ignoring her screams and her struggles to be freed, I started walking towards the stairs. I have never been this way with a lady, or even done this to a lady, but
Hayden's POV"Two can play this game." I mused, and then grinned afterwards."Alright, but don't you think you're forgetting something else?" I whispered, leaning closer her. In a seductive manner, I touched her shoulders but didn't stop staring at her eyes."What?" She asked "You begging to be fucked so hard last night. And you know Sarah, I'm no gentleman." Immediately I said this, she jerked up from the bed and stepped away from me. I smiled, enjoying the fact that she was suddenly scared."I said that? That's a fucking big lie, Hayden. I remember everything I did last night and I don't fucking remember saying that." Sarah yelled, wrapping her arms around herself.This left a smirk on my face. "It's good you remember everything Sarah, but not every fucking thing you did." I said, then turned to face her. I started taking steps closer to her, but she took her away from me.When there was no where else to go, she remained still, her back touching the wall as she watched me come cl
Sarah's POV.The jamming of hands filled the air as my signature was staring back at me. I had just signed the contract and business proposal with Hayden Smith.Most people thought I could achieve this because Hayden is my husband, but they all have no idea what more I'm capable of doing.Hayden and I shook hands, and then took countless pictures together afterwards. I smiled, and he did the same.We both stepped down the podium and took our seats someplace that had been prepared specially for us."I did fine?" I asked Hayden who was busy listening to what some of our board members were saying."Wonderful." Hayden complimented, making my tensed state relax a bit."Clark's launching his drugs today, Hayden. A lot of people are going to die or fall sick if it's fully gets out there." "For now, it's impossible to stop him or do anything. Focus first on getting your company back on track before dealing with him." "You think I can do that? I mean, look at this place, everything's a mess,
Becky POV.I couldn't stop staring at Alejandro. Even after he made a marvelous speech there at the podium and stood so close to Clark, I was more marveled.I could see a huge difference between him and Clark. I could see a loving man in him, and I could as well see a lonely man in him.This made me suddenly curious about him, his past, and what kind of women he had dated in the past. I wondered who could have been the mother of his daughter Theresa and why she had left him.Clark walked towards me with Alejandro by his side. I couldn't help but stare at the man instead of Clark."No need to introduce you two." Clark said.I rose up on my feet with a smile, and outstretched one of my hand for a handshake."It's nice to see you once again. Thank you for your assistance, and for making it here." I said.He smiled, but I tried refraining myself from smiling back at him. He has this killer smile that makes me what to ask him so many questions, but I can't."Ohhh. So sorry." I apologized s
