Chapter 21: Emergency Call

Sarah's leg failed and she collapsed on the grass, since Victor wasn't able to see it coming. He took her by her arms and put her on her feet again, but she was very sure that she would fall again if he loosened his grip."Sarah, are you okay?" She heard his voice asking, but her mind was miles away from there. The only thought inside her head was that she couldn't lose her Nana, not now."I… I'll be there as soon as possible. Thank you," she mumbled over the phone, not even giving herself the trouble to turn off the call."Sarah?" Victor's voice called one more time, and this time, she managed to see his honey-colored eyes in front of her. If she was lucid and not worried about her grandmother, she would definitely blush.Victor's brows were frowned and he didn't let go of her arms, not even for a second. He guided her to a wood bench under the nearest tree and asked one of the staff from the horse stable to bring her some water.The man came running a few minutes later and handed her

Chapter 22: Miraculous Donation

The news about the hospital receiving an enormous donation spread like wildfire. Sarah didn't know if it was coincidental or not, but the doctor informed her that a few urgent surgeries were going to be done with no charge for the patient, since the hospital board allowed them to use a share of the money from the donation.She didn't want to interrogate the doctor about it, but she couldn't believe how lucky she and Nana were. Mrs. Johnson was on the list of the patients who were going to be assisted, and Sarah cried her eyes out when she heard about it."Nana, can you believe it? You're finally going to be better," she said, hugging her grandmother cautiously.The old woman was still lying on the bed, unable to make big moves since there were a lot of wires and medical tools attached to her arm and chest.She smiled at Sarah and squeezed her hand in a sign of gratitude. She was still very weak and the doctor asked her not to do any effort and especially not to speak."Anyway, I'll ask

Chapter 23: Confused Feelings

Nana's surgery was scheduled and realized earlier than Sarah was expecting. On the next day, her grandmother was already doing the exams necessary and two days later, she went through the procedure.Sarah thought that her heart was going to come out of her mouth with such nervousness she felt while her Nana was inside that room, and all sorts of thoughts crossed her mind.She couldn't help but think that she didn't want to go through all of that by herself and the first person that came into her mind was Victor. She just wanted to feel his arms around her again, embracing and comforting her and telling her that everything would be alright.The surgery lasted a few hours and when she was about to get up and ask one of the hospital staff if everything was ok, she saw the doctor coming in her direction with a satisfactory expression on his face."Everything went perfectly well, Miss Johnson. We're very optimistic with her recovery. She is still sleeping because of the sedative, but we'll

Chapter 24: Protecting Her Heart

A couple more days passed and Sarah's grandmother was finally discharged from the hospital. She would still receive her treatment in the nursing home and she had to make visits to her doctor every once in a while for a few weeks, but the worse had definitely passed.Sarah called a cab that afternoon and took her grandma back to the nursing home and stood there until late at night, only leaving after Nana fell asleep, with a promise to come back as soon as possible.It had been a while since she had been at the mansion and taking care of Ben, so she couldn't exploit Mr. Reed's kindness anymore.She would go back to work and visit her grandmother whenever she had some free time. Since everything was alright now, she had no more reasons to be worried.Arriving at the mansion, Sarah noticed that most of the rooms had the lights off, which meant that everyone was probably already sleeping. There was only one place with the lights still on, the living room.She pondered if she should go ther

Chapter 25: A Date Invitation

Sarah cried until she fell asleep that night. She had no idea of why Victor was doing that to her; kissing her whenever he felt like it, visiting her and Nana in the hospital, but that couldn't end well.She knew her place, and it wasn't by his side. Society didn't work that way. She was only allowing herself to dream, but the pain inside her heart was not easy to ignore. She couldn't bear being left by him in the future if she allowed their situation to go any further.So it was better that she stopped it now, before it even started. It was hard to know if he really meant everything he said. The fact that he wasn't able to take her out of his mind didn't mean he was in love with her though, or that he was willing to face everything and everyone just to be with her. It could just be the excitement of winning a woman. As far as she knew, she could be an adventure or even a challenge for him. Who knew?But she wasn't willing to risk everything, especially having her heart broken, so stay

Chapter 26: Jealousy

She spent the whole way back home trying to convince herself that she wasn't being a b*tch by using someone else to forget Victor. Unfortunately, she wasn't being successful.But in order to move on with her life, she had to start embracing the opportunities that fate threw her way. And Oliver did seem like someone she would have interest in, if Victor hadn't appeared in her life first.A few days passed without her seeing a sign of Victor at home. Whenever she went downstairs with Benjamin to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, the staff would say that Victor wasn't at home or that he was busy at the office and asked not to be disturbed.It was pretty clear to Sarah that he was avoiding her, even though she didn't know his real motives for that. Was he mad at her? Or maybe embarrassed? Either way, she didn't want to know. She asked him to stop chasing her for whatever reason he had, so now she couldn't go after him asking him why he was avoiding her."Here, Ben. Eat everything, alright?"

Chapter 27: Date Night

Victor could not believe the audacity of Sarah having the man coming to pick her up at the mansion for their date night. In fact, he didn't even know she was going on a date in the first place.He heard her talking to Camila that she was going to enjoy the day-off and go out, but he didn't give it much attention. They weren't really talking to each other after that fateful night, and since then, he was doing everything in his power not to bump into her.He had taken Benjamin for a day out, since he wasn't around the kid much, and he felt he should compensate him. And when they got back, he couldn't believe his eyes.There she was, walking towards the car outside, a sexy black dress, heels, and that golden-red hair dangling on her back like it wanted to bewitch someone. What was she thinking?His guts were on fire and he didn't want to admit that what he was feeling was pure jealousy. He wasn't used to it; all women around him would simply toss themselves at him, hoping he could take no

Chapter 28: Confessions

Sarah could not believe she was kissing Victor one more time. If anyone told her that would happen right after she returned from a very nice date, she would have laughed at them.The night with Oliver had been amazing, more than she expected. Oliver was very kind, intelligent, respectful and funny. Everything she wanted in a man. They had a good connection and she could see herself living a life with him by her side.But then, the first thing that happens when she returns is to see Victor there, waiting for her. And then he kissed her.It was something else. She couldn't explain. Things with Oliver hadn't gone that far, but not because he didn't try, but because she didn't let him. She wasn't able to allow him to reach that level just yet. And it also wasn't going to be fair to encourage him like that while she was thinking about Victor the whole time. She tried very hard to keep her boss out of her mind during the date, but it was inevitable. Victor would simply pop in it whenever Ol

Chapter 29: Abducted

Sarah couldn't find the courage to meet Oliver again and tell him that she didn't want to go out with him anymore. Things had ended so well the night they went on a date, that she didn't know how to explain to him that she changed her mind.Benjamin would ask her to go to the park, but every time, she'd come up with a lie not to take him, in the risk of meeting Oliver there with Chad.In the meantime, she was on cloud nine with her recent relationship with Victor. It was hard to keep it a secret from everyone else, especially since the mansion was always so crowded with servants, and there was also Benjamin.Sarah was with the kid most of the time, and she couldn't find a good moment to meet Victor without anyone else looking, except late at night.She was getting tired from going to sleep late and waking up so early, but it was worth it. Anything to spend some time with the man she was in love with. Victor was also coming home earlier just to be in the same place as her, even though t

Chapter 30: Worst News

Sarah could feel and hear the turmoil around her, but for a few minutes, she couldn't react. Only when she heard Edward's weak voice coming from behind her, that she got back to reality."Sarah, we need to go back and let Mr. Reed know about this." She turned her head to see the man coming towards her covered with blood and bruises, his hand holding his ribs, with a painful expression on his face.She rushed to help him, putting his free arm around her shoulder, and gathered strength to lift him up and walk him to the car.The man clearly couldn't drive, so she would have to do it herself. But before that, she had to put her thoughts in place. Her whole body was shivering inside, her hands shook aggressively and she could barely keep them on the steering wheel.She had to call the police, although she assumed that other people probably already had done that. At least she hoped, since they didn't do anything to help when Ben was taken.She couldn't stop thinking about Benjamin and also
