Chapter 71

SARAH“Forgive my act.” He whispered as he moved his hands and lips away.I couldn’t say a word; my body wanted more of him but I couldn’t bring myself to say it. I smiled and moved a bit to maintain a distance between us.“Who do you suspect to be behind all these problems?” I asked, trying to divert my mind.“I can’t say but I feel the person is monitoring our moves and has agents on his or her side. I will always be there for you; you have nothing to fear” He replied and grabbed my hand. “I promise the person will be exposed soon.”It is not just me but Nelly and Aunt Olivia. I can’t bear to see them get hurt, they have to be protected at all cost.“Let’s go to bed now, tomorrow is another day. I hope soon we have a life free of fear and chaos,” I quickly said before I received another kiss that might lead to another nine months journey.“Sleep well dear, I look forward to having more of this moment with you.” Caleb said with a wink and it made me smile.Caleb had more to say but I

I arched my brow in awe. They all fixed their attention on me, expecting my response. Toiletries are personal stuff! Even if I want to share my stuff with someone, then it shouldn’t be Laura. “Caleb, I don’t like to share my toiletries. I will suggest that you and your lover visit the mall to get what she needs.” I uttered, avoided mentioning her name cox it irritated me. Laura quickly interfered, “It is late, the malls would be closed by now. Try to understand, Sarah.” “What exactly do you want? A lot of things make up toiletries.” I said to her angrily. “It’s a female thing and I am shy to mention it in their presence.” She said, pointing towards Caleb and Silas. “Sarah, take care of yourself. We’ll excuse you guys now.” Caleb uttered and I noticed the uneasiness in his voice. He and his friends left, leaving me with my enemy. I knew this wasn’t going to end well. “Let me pick what I need.” Laura took a step towards my room. I blocked her path; I avoided her since she arri

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

Chapter 74

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

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

Chapter 76

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
