CHAPTER 35
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

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
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 38
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

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
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 41
The moon consumed the day. Still, Sarah’s eyes fixed at the entry gate, clutching tight to her phone hoping to get a call from Mike. Her wait came to an end at 10 pm. To her disappointment, it is Robert and Jessica. She broke down in tears on Jessica’s shoulder and told them everything that had happened. Jessica and Robert couldn’t do much but exchange frowned among them It wasn’t until 11 pm, Sarah decided to call Joseph to check if he knows Mike’s whereabouts. “Dad…”“Yes my dear, are you ok?”“Have you heard from Mike? He is not home yet and I can’t reach him by phone either”Joseph let out a sigh. “He came to office with raging anger because I didn’t tell him about Suman’s harassment earlier. Then we had some discussion before he left.”“What time did he leave?” Sarah’s voice was low. Images of him unconscious with a bleeding head raked her brain, given the s
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 42
“Rob, come on pumpkin. I have a surprise for you…” Jessica’s teasing tone was enough for Robert to ignore Mike. Robert snapped to Mike and shrugged his shoulder before following Jessica, like a good puppy to her room. His expectation was left to hung when Jessica explained what she had done. It wasn’t long before Mike lost interest in the TV show and switched off to go to bed. 2 pairs of ears were pressing through an inch slit of the open door, next to the master bedroom. Mike paced casually and entered the bedroom next door to hear a muffled scream of Sarah. He quickly closed the door behind and turned on the dim light. His eyes froze on the most delicious view in the whole world. Throat constricted. Eyes darkened. A slight fever crept to the back of his neck and he stood there, staring at Sarah for a moment before realizing she was actually struggling to free herself. He rushed over to her
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 43
Pressure builds up around Suman. Officer Dantey digs up his criminal record. It turns out, there were 3 sexual harassment reports filed against him and then dropped, probably due to the victims being afraid by the Mehtras or paid off to keep quiet. Dantey then contacted some of those victims to find out more. His suspicion was correct, they either were threatened, paid off, or afraid of losing face. In one particular case, Suman’s secretary who had just joined their office was raped twice by Suman, in his room. With the CCTV footage, he threatened her into cooperating with him for the third time. The worst part is, Suman, considered them as willing partners since none of them proceeded with legal action. Dantey also found out that there are possibilities of more girls in her office that didn’t dare to report. &n
