CHAPTER 32
A casual phone call drained the blood out of Santha’s face. It was Sarah. And she is still in the hospital. End of limb felt numb, almost nonexistent. Visions blurred. A distant buzz lingered in her ears. Breathing is still a task. But her cognitive is still spot on. She answered the call, she had to.
“Mom...I need to tell you something” she tiptoed between words with tiny sighs here and there. Santha waited patiently.“I fell for a guy” As if injected with stimulant, her eyes woke wide, thrilled and surprised at the same time
“Who is it, baby?”
“You know him, Mike”
“Oh my lord, he is hot…”
“Mom!!! Behave please” Sarah exclaimed as she covers her face in embarrassment“Mom...he is not the reason I rejected your choice. Well, technically he is. He made me call off the meeting right after he expressed himself. So...” Santha exchanged the last bit of her energy for a chuckle.
“Baby...I just wanted you to be happy...At that

Joseph is a cunning man. Instead of going to their place, he baited Anand Mehtra to his office. Not knowing what he is dipping his toe into, rather excited to meet Joseph Ricci for the first time, he arrived at Ricci with two bodyguards the next day itself. The 'invitation' is positive from a business spectrum. A slender, small build man with fair skin, a black and white suit with well-manicured nails, and a clean shaved face. It’s not rocket science to see his education level and professionalism. Leo bobbed his head with hands crossed in front of him and lead the way to Joseph’s office. The elevator door creaked to close when another 3 equally sized men, presumably also bodyguards stepped in. Towered by tall, WWF type of men with black glasses and black suits, Anand felt a little un
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 34
Never underestimate the mystic power hidden beneath a woman’s eye. It makes and breaks. Mike lost, even indulge in his witch’s eyes. Work is one serious place for Sarah. Her sweet voice exerting stern dominance is cute in a way but not to be taken lightly after how she dragged the big boss down the hall and shoved him into the meeting room. The cold pair of eyes staring from the end of the hall help too, though. A flip of a coin, when it comes to Mike, serene and innocence fluttered her lashes. Oddly, making him submissive. Although Sarah set the ‘no intimacy in office’ rule, it can be hard to control Mike sometimes. Now that he had touched and had a taste of her, his imagination horse runs wild. How her naked body would be like pressing against his? Tip of his nose itch to uncover

Cloudless blue spreadsheet canvased the above. The sun is in a tender, nurturing mood this morning, making breakfast on Ricci’s Telecommunication’s balcony much more delightful. “Can we have Jessica as a replacement for Laura?” Sarah gazed sharply at Mike “NO” a hasty answer from the opposite side had her raised eyebrows, baffled. “I mean, she already has a promising job” slur on top of a slur, Robert's attempt to cover up went down the drain. Mike raised his eyebrows too, now “Are you suggesting this is not a promising job?” as if cotton balls stuffed down his throat, Robert kept silent and fidgets his fingers. For once, he had emotions in his eyes, flipping like flipbook animation by second. “Jess and I...” he began with a sigh. “We are dating… I like her very much. A little too much” Sarah straightened her spine. “We have been spending a lot of time behind you 2. If she c

“Sarah…” something began churning in her belly. She pushed Jessica into sitting “You go” she whispered with head hung low. “What??? You go, he is your boyfriend” “You are the reason behind this” “You know how to handle him” “Sarah...” she scrunched her face, blinking tight. “See!!! He wants you” a death glare darted at Jessica before she turned around, revealing only her eye again. Mike’s brown eyes swirled with glee, twinkling at her although the rest stood stolid. He slipped out his hands from his pocket, wiggling 2 fingers to signal her “Come here…” his calmness doesn’t help her jitter. Her lower lip drew between her teeth. Slowly, she stood up and padded to Mike, holding dearly at the only weapon available now, the chocolate mint ice cream tub. He raised his arm, making room for her, suggesting that
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 37
Rustling and shuffling itched the corner of Mike’s ears. He lifts his eyelids, just a smidge. A flustering creature ping-ponged between the bathroom and closet, in just a piece of a fluffy towel wrapped around her chest. Unruly hair and frowned face, she cursed under her breath for picking the sexiest inner ware, a red silky pair. “Oh, no baby, not that please. Save it for the night” husky words pushed through his torpid state, managed to spook her. She jolted back, falling on her butt to the ground. Sharp hiss and a glare effectively hide him under the duvet. When Mike came down, all bathed and dressed, Jessica and Robert were already at the dining table. Heavenly smell of crispy, chocolate waffle wafted through his taste bud. The creature from early morning emerged from the kitchen, carrying a plate of sausage to them. Their eyes collided. Immediate

There is a thin line between fight or flight, called freeze. The body of gasp holding her breath in her throat is the evidence. “Having fun?” he pointed his chin towards the lingerie bag. If the hoarse, gravelly voice didn’t do the job, his massacring smile did it. “Come, I need to talk to you” the limbless puppet pulled to stand and dragged along to exit the restaurant. Gone the playboy–ish vibe in Suman’s face, hello to the raw, cold man. His talking finally paid off. The image of her in a sexy neon pink sleeping gown pushed the boundaries of stalking to staking. If only he could pursue her… Jessica came back to a vacant table. Shopping bags toppled over on another on the extra seat they have kept it. Her head spined around looking for a sign of
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 39
Water rustled out of the showerhead, huffing a cloud of steam in the process. Mike thrust his hand, disrupting the flow. The weight on his back, looking for comfort, needs just the right temperature in exchange. He held her hand from his chest and pulled her forward. Sarah did not refute but just stared at Mike with blunt emotion as he work through layer by layer of her clothes. Dozens of buttons test his manhood with each unbuckling. For a moment, he tried to undress without admiring her perky, curvy body but it seems conflicting with his interest, even at difficult times such as this. “What are you staring at?” he turned her around, slipping off her dark green dress from behind. Minty rose touched their nose with a squirt of shampoo onto his palm, working it gently onto her hair, messaging her scalp with his finger pads. Stress building in
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 40
The mighty building stood tall, distracting Sarah from the hustle and bustle of worried faces around the courtyard. She had never seen a police station in real life. Intimidated, she clings to Mike’s arms, while he was preoccupied with a friendly policeman. An official report is still due to be filed against Suman Mehtra. Anand Mehtra, Suman’s dad was already there, looking rather ragged. He had run up and down doors to get necessary documents aligned for Suman’s bail. His glacial stare dipped at Sarah and her grip on Mike’s arm tightened a bit more. He held her wrist and walked past Anand to the officer in charge’s room, not forgetting to cast his hatred over Anand. Officer Dantey, the one who arrested Suman, was anticipating their arrival. The sun’s warmth shini
