LOGINSARAH“Forgive my act.” He whispered as he moved his hands and lips away.I couldn’t say a word; my body wanted more of him but I couldn’t bring myself to say it. I smiled and moved a bit to maintain a distance between us.“Who do you suspect to be behind all these problems?” I asked, trying to divert my mind.“I can’t say but I feel the person is monitoring our moves and has agents on his or her side. I will always be there for you; you have nothing to fear” He replied and grabbed my hand. “I promise the person will be exposed soon.”It is not just me but Nelly and Aunt Olivia. I can’t bear to see them get hurt, they have to be protected at all cost.“Let’s go to bed now, tomorrow is another day. I hope soon we have a life free of fear and chaos,” I quickly said before I received another kiss that might lead to another nine months journey.“Sleep well dear, I look forward to having more of this moment with you.” Caleb said with a wink and it made me smile.Caleb had more to say but I
SARAH‘Caleb is worried about you. Where are you? I received a call from him, please talk to him as fast as possible.’It was a message from aunt Olivia. He reached out to her because he knows she has a soft spot for him and will cajole me to dance to his tone.‘Alright, aunt.’ I replied to the message with a heavy heart. I don’t want to tell her that the man she is supporting is the man behind my worries. I am confused; I fell flat on the bed.Just then, I heard a voice outside the door.“Sarah, come out. Let’s talk.”I recognized the voice; it was that of Silas. What did he want to talk about? Caleb must have sent him. I moved closer to the door.“Speak, I can hear you.” I uttered softly.“The discussion has to be in person,” he said.I opened the door only to be greeted by a smile from Silas and a sober look from Caleb. I knew that Caleb was at the door but he chose to be quiet.“You don’t have to talk to Caleb and I at the same time.” I complained.I turned to return to my room w
I went outside with Silas following behind me. I don’t know if the police were also paid not to disclose the destination of the criminal.Caleb owes me an explanation. Quickly, I called him. The call connected but he didn’t pick up. “Your friend is behind it all!” I said with a teary voice but he looked at me confusedly.“What are you talking about?” He asked with soft tone.“The man who placed the missing document in my bag works for Caleb. Caleb is behind it all.” I spilled it out painfully.Silas widened his eyes and took a step backward.“That is not possible.” He speaks confidently.I didn’t expect him to believe instantly. It was a hard pill for me to swallow too. I witnessed it all. The criminal wasn’t scared to confront Caleb. I recounted everything to Silas but his facial expression showed that he doubted my words. “Did Caleb go this far just for him to prove to be my hero?” I whispered but it was audible for Silas to hear.“I believe you know what you are saying but I als
SARAHThe workshop continued but I couldn’t concentrate. I was thinking of the best way to appreciate Caleb even though he was sitting next to me.I placed my hand on his hand. He glanced at me with surprise evident on his face. “Thank you for all you do for me.” I whispered, tightening my grip on his hand.“You don’t have to appreciate me. Whenever I do things for you, I am indirectly doing it for myself.” He smiled, kissed my hand and I quickly let go of his hands.Beyond words, I hope his heart feels my true gratitude.I could feel my heart racing against its confines as though I had never felt his lips against my skin. Ignoring his side glances, I pretended to have my attention on the podium.It's been over ten minutes since Silas excused himself. I was about to ask about his whereabouts when I saw him walking over wearing a frown.“From all the security said, there’s no way to identify the person who wore the hood but the investigation is still ongoing.“Hmm, the culprit can’t
SARAHI was a bit nervous. The surveillance officer came downstairs and everyone was curious to see what he would display.“Let’s all look at the screen.” He announced and we all fixed our attention on the large screen that was behind the podium.From the way cars were parked outside and attendees trooping in was displayed. The guard who found the design in my bag became restless. I noticed he kept looking around as though he was looking for an escape route.It will be difficult for him to maneuver his way through the crowd that surrounded us. He was definitely in for a big mess if he is found guilty.“Unbelievable!” I heard different voices utter simultaneously. I also couldn’t believe my eyes. Sila's view about the guard was right.The video showed my accuser interacting with someone wearing a hood and receiving a document from the person. After some clips, the next video showed the security guard putting the document in my bag!“How could you?” I screamed in confusionHe was the ma
SARAH“This can’t be! How did it get into my bag? I promise I will never stoop so low to steal. I can’t do anything to tarnish my image and that of the brand that I am trying to build.” I said, widening my hands trying to prove my innocence.“Keep quiet! This proves that you’ve been capitalizing on the hard work of others to build your brand. Your secrets have been exposed today!” The security guard spilled.“Someone could have done this.” I whispered and little did I know that my words were audible for the security guard to hear.“Who could have done it?” He asked with his voiced laced with mockery.At that point, I didn’t know what to do or say. If this happened back home, I would have concluded that Lillian and her cohort are at it again.In a strange city, who exactly did this?“Hold on,” Silas pointed at the security guard. “Could it be you planted this in her bag? Why did you walk straight to her instead of checking the person who was at the extreme end first?”Silas word made s
SARAH Silas and two middle aged men were before us. I forced myself out of Caleb’s embrace. I felt embarrassed but Caleb wore a smile. Silas also returned the gesture but the other men present remained indifferent. “I expected your arrival yesterday.” Caleb said. “We are so sorry Mr. Hilton, due
Early the next morning, I woke up early to prepare breakfast for Nelly. When I was ready to leave the house, he was still asleep so I dropped a note under his pillow apologizing and also stating that I had to be at the office early. I told his nanny to notify him that I was the one that made his b
SARAHI received a call from Aunt Olivia. I cleared my throat and greeted her.“You don’t have to act strong. I heard about the news.” She says thoughtfully.“Aunt Olivia, it is a lot for me to handle.” I muttered.“I understand but take it easy on yourself. You need to rest so that you can think b
Caleb insisted that he was going to wait in my office till the meeting was over. Quickly, I went to the board room.The board members were all seated. While some frowned, otherwise gave a sober look. It was an impromptu meeting and to be honest I wondered what the urgency was about.We exchanged pl
