ANMELDENSARAH“Even at this point, aunt Olivia is still hiding the name of her illness from me. How deadly could it be?” I said with a teary voice.“Get yourself together. Remember you still have Nelly to take care of.” Josh looked at me.Mentioning Nelly only made me more heartbroken. How do I explain aunt Olivia’s condition to him? It is a lot.“Sarah,” Silas said, clearing his throat.“Please be fine, the doctors will do their best. I received an urgent official assignment and I have to leave now.” He spoke softly.“Caleb will be here with you and if he misbehaves, get some thugs to beat him up.” He winked and I didn’t know when a smile escaped my lips.Caleb gazed at Silas confusedly. His expression saying, ‘If I get hold of you.’Right then, Josh also received a call that needed his attention. He and Silas left the hospital and I had no choice than to be with Caleb.I moved from where we stood and went to sit. He followed after me and for unknown reasons, I was nervous. He sat beside me,
SARAHOutwardly, I ignored his presence and stared cluelessly in the air. But the more I inhaled his scent, the more my heart betrayed me.I didn’t even know why I agreed to honor Silas’ request. Was it to see Caleb after a long period of silence? Why am I here?I couldn’t bring myself to talk to him. Even though I can’t blame him for all that happened, he should bring up the issue so we can talk about it. Suddenly, I heaved, wishing my life could be completely free from chaos.Caleb went on his knees; I turned to him and arched my brow.“I understand that you detest me. I am not here to justify anything; all I want is your forgiveness.” He spoke softly and my body wanted me to hug him but I refused.I quickly asked him to get up and he did. I didn’t want to be the highlight of the next news that will trend. I wished we could be away from each other so we can live in peace but with each day, it gets difficult.He gazed at me expecting me to announce my forgiveness but I disappointed h
SARAHCaleb has everything that any sane woman will desire but honestly, I couldn’t tell what I wanted from him.“Silas, extend my regards to him.” I said with a smile, trying to end the discussion.As though he knew the motive behind my words, Silas had more to say. I looked at Josh and Aunt Olivia, expecting them to interfere, but they disappointed me.“If you really care about him, his wellbeing will be important to you.” Silas continued and I couldn’t help but gasp. It was obvious that he wasn’t going to back off till he was done.“Of course I care about his wellbeing.” I spoke casually.“Sarah, but your attitude towards him says otherwise.” He responded and I glanced at him. My expression pleading with him not to say anything further.“Caleb is always worried about you! Whenever you vent your anger on him, you have no idea how destabilized and unproductive he is. Have you ever thought about why he is doing all these despite what happened in the past?” Silas words were cold, maki
SARAHWhat did the Police discover? I was eager to know. We arrived at the airport, but in my view everything happened slowly. I almost lost my cool when it was announced that our flight would be delayed by an hour because of weather conditions.While Silas tried to console me, Caleb ignored me.Eventually, we arrived at our destination. If it were to be another day, I would always be excited to be home but the case was different today – returning home to a fire incident.I left Caleb and Silas waiting for their driver to come pick them while I booked a taxi and went to my company.“What caused the fire?” I said to Becky whose hair was disheveled with shock still evident on her face.She was too emotional to talk. Seeing tears rolling down her eyes, I found my way to where aunt Olivia and Josh were standing. Paying attention to where their eyes was fixed, tears rolled down my cheek.“What a loss!” I muttered and it drew their attention.“Sarah, when did you arrive?” Aunt Olivia asked
SARAHI couldn’t explain how everything happened so fast. I didn’t know when tears found his way out of my ears. It was a lot for me to deal with; Laura followed me to a strange land to harm me.“Stop crying, Sarah. I understand how you feel but I promise you that Laura will be punished if she is found guilty.” Silas said to me softly.,“If she is guilty?” I shook my head in disapproval because I didn't like his conditional statement because it is glaring that she was behind it. “We need evidence, without it, it means we are accusing her falsely. I know she can do it but how do we apprehend her in the act?” He explained and I understood.He also informed me that Caleb had asked for the CCTV footage of all that happened at the workshop today but it didn’t show any image of some putting drugs into a bottle of water.I suspected that whoever did the job must be aware of the cameras around. Criminals don’t easily give room for flaws.Where could she have drugged my water without my notic
CALEBI widened my eyes when I saw Sarah lying on the floor. I was confused and scared.“Sarah! Sarah, look at me.” I said with a fearful tone but got no response.I invited her to the event, how then do I explain the sudden event to aunt Olivia, Nelly and even Josh. I heaved in fear; they all would be anticipating our return.Silas quickly called the hospital emergency line and they arrived few minutes after the call.I watched them put Sarah on a wheel stretcher and took her to the ambulance. I picked her bag and wanted to follow them in the ambulance but they refused. Silas and I had to follow after the ambulance using a taxi.I was disturbed and with the blaring sound of the ambulance, I gripped her bag hard, hoping she survives.I couldn’t account for Laura’s sudden disappearance. Inasmuch she wasn’t there when Sarah fell and went unconscious, I blamed her.All of Silas’ attempt to calm me down at the hospital didn’t work. I watched the doctor and nurses enter into her ward and I
CALEBThe manager dialed a number and instructed that the person should be in his office immediately.Soon, a man clad in a paramilitary dress was present in the manager's office.The man was Johnny, the head of the security unit.After exchanging pleasantries, the manager said, “Mr. Haley is searc
CALEB I followed after Sarah. She was with the little boy, not only did I recognize his voice, from his back view I knew he was the one.“Nelly,” I called out and he happily came to me.“It's good to see you.” He said.“My pleasure,” I smiled.“My mom has a variety of unique designs that you can c
SARAHI returned to the event venue with confused emotion.A part of my mind was worried about Josh while the other part was worried about Caleb. There was no room for me to even be worried about myself.I never invited Caleb for my event but on the other hand, I wished I could get hold of the pers
SARAHHis eyes beamed with great delight. His gaze made me slightly uncomfortable as I smiled and looked at him. We haven’t been in touch for some days and I don’t remember telling him about my NGO.Could it be he has been tracking all my moves?Echoes of whispers filled the air. Quite a number of
