Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 9
SARAH I flipped through the pages of the album and saw more pictures of him."Do you know this man?." I asked Lilian, who was busy looking for something.She stopped what she was doing and joined me on the bed, sitting very close to me. Looking into the album in my hands, she exclaimed:"Ohh.. that's Julian, he's Leo's direct cousin. Is it right to say he's my step-cousin?." She chuckled. My jaw dropped. Right in the album was Julian, my boyfriend whom I hadn't heard from for a while.My mouth was opened to speak, but no words came out. I felt like my mouth was glued. Lilian noticed how odd I looked, and she asked:"Is there a problem?""No.. not at all. I'm fine." I replied, shaking my head in the negative. "He's in Canada right now, but he'll be returning by the end of this month. And I'd love you to meet him, he's nice." I just nodded my head and faked a laugh. Julian never told me he had relatives within. I only got to meet his mother and younger sister w

LEO.Driving through the busy road, I got stuck in traffic. There was a crime scene ahead of me and it seemed like I would have to spend some more minutes on the road before I could get going.I stepped down from my car and walked over to the scene, curious to know what had happened. I was really tired and needed to get home and rest my head.Suddenly, I felt a tight grip on my hand, and I turned around to find a young lady with a blood stain on her head. I was shocked but I tried to hide it."You're Leo right, Leo Limbert?." She asked, wearing a weak smile."Where is your wife? Sorry, I mean Sarah, where is she?."I didn't know if I was to answer her or free myself from her grip."Who's this strange woman?." I said to myself.She must have seen the surprise that took over my face, as she let go of me and spoke rather calmly this time."I'm Raya, and I'm a friend of your wife." She introduced herself.As she spoke, I caught sight of Sarah standing by the roadsid
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 11
SARAHI escorted Raya to her place and we were told that the police had not caught the culprit. However, the police promised to keep us updated on the case. I tried to convince Raya to stay at Leo's place for a while but she insisted on staying in her apartment, assuring me that she would be fine. Together, we tidied up the mess in her apartment and I rushed back home when I got a call from Lilian.The house was on fire when I arrived and I got to see some members of Leo's family."Where's your wife?" Was the first thing I heard when I approached the door.I stood by the door for a few minutes, eavesdropping on their conversation."She'll soon be here." I heard Leo reply"I'm not a man of war, and I hate trouble. Look how great a family we are on the outside, but right inside here, we're a total mess." The first voice I heard spoke again, and I assumed it was Leo's father."You brought us into this mess Dad, and you know it." An unfamiliar feminine voice sp
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 12
LEOI withdrew myself from her and realized that I had been kissing her. I wondered what had come over me to be kissing a woman that I barely knew. "You should go. I'm fine, but I need to rest."All she did was nod and reluctantly, she stood from the bed and headed to the door. "If you need anything, you can call me." She said after which she exited my room.I threw myself on the bed, counting the invisible stars that rested on the ceiling. I got lost in thoughts, thinking how I got trapped in a big mess at a very young age. My mother's unnecessary fight with my stepmom, Cora's aim to run the company herself, and her belief that I don't deserve anything better than what she has, Lilian's support, regarding the fact that her immediate family hated me so much. She was the only one who understood me.Clara's accusation of me getting her pregnant was what I found difficult to accept, but I could not deny it because I was very sure that we had sex on a rough crazy night
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 13
SARAHI got back home and headed straight to the kitchen to cook the noodles that I bought on my way home. I was returning from Raya's place. She was the only one I could share my sorrows and joys with, even in my darkest moments, she alone understood me. And that's why I would never stop blessing the day I got to know her.We met at a colleague's wedding party. She was a sister to the groom. She was cheerful and friendly, that was the kind of friend I wanted. That is a story for another day.While cooking the noodles, Leo walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. He wore a white shirt, but his chest was opened, exposing the hairs on his chest. "You're home!" He said as he walked up to me, and stretched his hands to grab a glass in the cupboard. His chest, very close to my face "Yes, I'm home," I replied, trying to withdraw myself.He grabbed the glass and got some water from the water dispenser. I froze all the while he was with me, and the only moveme

SARAH.Opening the door to the office with a feigned smile, I noticed the mood was different from usual. My departmental head, Mrs. Montana, stood in front of the room as everyone gathered around, all smiling at me.I was glad to be at work again, at least I wouldn't have to be with my fake, grumpy husband all day. "Our dear Sarah Powells.. no, Sarah Limbert, is resuming today. See how fat she has become in just two weeks of getting married. Welcome back honey, we have missed you." It was a sort of a welcome-back speech from Madam Montana. I was short of words on the kind of reception I received from them."What better way to welcome you back than a little celebration?." She said, as she reached into her drawer and pulled out a bottle of red wine.I accepted a glass of wine from her with so much relief and excitement. It was a small gesture but it meant so much to me. After everything I had been through, it was nice to be part of the team again."I'm so grateful
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 15
SARAH. Cora turned back and rolled her eyes against Leo. She ignored him and continued speaking with Julian. "How dare you speak to my wife like that!" he shouted. "Sarah is a part of this family, and you will treat her with respect!"Leo's face was red with anger as he glared at his sister, Cora. Cora didn't back down. "I will not respect her," she said coldly. "She's not welcome here, and I will not pretend otherwise." "Sarah is my wife," he said through gritted teeth as he fumed. "I love her, and I will not tolerate your disrespect towards her."Julian, who had been watching the drama, stepped in. "Leo, calm down. This is not worth getting worked up over."But Leo was beyond reasoning."You stay out of this Julian." He snapped. "This is between me and my sister!"Julian held up his hand in surrender, but his expression remained serious. "I'm just trying to keep the peace, Leo" "There has never been peace between both of us, and there never will be!" C
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 16
SARAHMy heart ached at the words that protruded from my mother's mouth. She had been scolding and cursing ever since I stepped into the house. I didn't go to see her, I was only there because my Dad sent for me. And thanks to Raya, who agreed to go along with me. "That's enough Leila!" My dad yelled."Let the poor girl breathe… She has gone through a lot."And there I sat, silent all through. Leo had requested that I find out how much it would cost to get back to the hotel from Anthonio. The knock on the door disrupted my mother's nagging as I sighted Anthonio forcing himself through the door. His protruded belly never ceased to amuse Raya as she would always chuckle anytime she saw him."How would you have married a man like Anthonio? I can't even imagine that!" She spat in a whisper.My mother rushed towards Anthonio, trying to help with his briefcase but he refused her help."Don't bother!" He pushed her aside and walked over to one of the sofas, thro
