It was a breezy sunny Sunday morning, and just days days earlier, they had all planned to go to church together.
Sara was the one that had actually brought up church, and after Christian consented to it, they had invited Ariel and Daniel too.
Daniel and Ariel who were now a full fledged couple, and honestly Christian was so happy for his best friend.

DINAHJust because she would soon leave the shelter didn’t mean that, she would stop bullying those foolish kids.Dinah hissed as the walked the corridors of the shelter, Tessa by her side.She was chewing on her fingers, as she walked, and she felt like hitting in someone.Maybe she should hit on one of the kids passing by, and giving her rubbish stares.Now all eyes were on her, and that was because of the incident with the matron some days back.She had lost her respect and status amongst the kids, and it was evident in the way they walked freely without even bothering to greet or bow as she walked.Before whenever she walked, no one dared walk in her lane, as they gave her space, but now reverse was the case.She could even swear that someone had brushed her shoulders while passing, and this was to just expl
A Billionaire's Regret Death Threats
DINAHEver since Ariel had publicly humiliated Dinah some days ago, she hadn’t been herself.She had had sleepless nights, woken up with bittered faces every morning, and sneered at practically anybody who came her way all because she was still mad and angry.Mad and angry at the bitch, and at herself too.Coupled with the fact that she was on her period, and that time of the month, her hormones were up a notch.She just felt like doing something so disastrous, the urge was so insane she couldn’t curtail it.She had even driven Tessa away from the room they shared, wanting to have her own privacy as she needed to think over what she had to do tonight bitch, as payback.As she thought of it, another idea came to her.Why didn’t she do something haunting to that other friend of hers, Sara?
A Billionaire's Regret Mrs Patrick's Call
SARAIt had been approximately three or four days since that bedroom incident, and Sara was still chilled about the whole thing.Despite reporting to the matrons and security of the shelter, they hadn’t really seen it as anything, dismissing it as some childhood prank, and they had both told her and Ariel to go get something doing instead of lazing around.Ariel had even wanted to tell them about the first incident she had gotten, the one with the WATCH YOUR BACK inscription, but Sara had stopped her, with a squeeze of her hand.There was no evidence to support that claim, as she had discarded the paper since, and she couldn’t even remember the face of the little girl that had given her that paper that day, so it was worthless and useless without any proof.Suffice to say, they hadn’t even really believed them at all.Now, she was walking to

SARA"... Ok see you later love." Sara replied curtly, ending the call with Christian.She had called to thank him for the flowers he had gotten for her, and turning to face Ariel, she sniffed the flowers again as the bouquet was in her hands.He had given Ariel at the supermarket, just like Ariel had told her, and she was grateful for his thoughtfulness, and care too."Lover birds... Come over here let's eat these chocolates he got you." Ariel said sarcastically, and smiling ignoring her taunts Sara walked towards the bed.They were the only ones in the hostel room, so Sara was not embarrassed or anything."You just love food too much." Sara taunted back grabbing a piece of the chocolate cake he had also brought for her, and Ariel laughed.Looking at her friend, or not at her rather, the sound of her laughter was enough to take Sara's mi

SARA“I can’t believe you recorded everything Miranda said last night.” Ariel uttered in awe, and Sara just smiled ruefully.“I did record it. I brought out my phone when she was talking, and I put on the sound recorder. Everything she said is in here, and I hope to convince Christian with this proof today.” As she finished speaking, she saw Ariel’s facial expression change from awe and surprise to something indescribable, and her heart clenched.“Don’t you want me to go talk to him?” Sara asked softly, blinking back the tears that gathered at the pool of her eyes and beneath her lashes.These pregnancy hormones! Damn, but they made her want to cry every second, and she just couldn’t hold it back. Sniffing, she shrugged her shoulders and waited for Ariel to say something but her friend was keeping mute.“Ariel…” She drawled softly, her hands going to her cheeks, wiping incessantly.Instead of replying as expected, Ariel just took a step towards her, pulling her in for a hug as she wr

A Billionaire's Regret Miranda’s Confession
SARAStaring lazily at the ceiling up ahead, Sara blinked her eyes twice for the umpteenth time that night.She was trying to force herself to sleep but it wasn’t working at all. She had turned and tossed tirelessly on the bunk bed she shared with Ariel, and even after some complaints from her best friend, she just didn’t stop.She couldn’t stop rather, with her mind going haywire and streaks of dried tears still on her face.Letting out a soft sniffle and whimper, as if she wanted to begin crying again, Sara turned to the left side of the bed, her eyes wandering about as she looked around the dimly lit hostel room. It wasn’t so late at all, and she and Ariel were the only ones in the room, as they had eaten their dinner albeit hurriedly, and then come back to rest.Now though, the last thing Sara was doing was having a good rest, and she hated this feeling so much! She tried closing her eyes slowly again, making it droop and at the same time praying that this strategy of hers would

DINAH’S POV“Tessa, I don’t understand what’s going on anymore.” Dinah muttered, lighting up a cigar stick and passing the box to her friend, who willingly collected it.“Oh come up Dinah…” Tessa began puffing on her already lit up cigarette stick, “Why are you so worked up about this? Are you just going to give up after everything you’ve done? Everything we’ve been through together?”Dinah just rolled her eyes, her hands going to her forehead as she heaved out loud in frustration.“I don’t know what to think again Tessa. I mean after all I did, I still don’t have Christian in my grasp. I mean he told me prop and plain that he’s leaving this town.”“To where again?” Tessa asked, and letting out a hiss Dinah replied, “Seattle.

SARAHastily handing over the pregnancy test results to Christian, Sara placed a hand over there lips, trying to stop the sob that threatened to spill out from within.Seconds passed, minutes too, with the silence between then growing in folds, and she could only watch as he stared down at the papers, his hands visibly shaking furiously.She waited for him to say something, and at long last when nothing seemed to be forthcoming she broke the dreaded quietude.“Won’t you say something?” She began with a sniffle, but he said nothing.Shoulders dropping further, Sara continued, “I know the past few days have been hell for both of us.

A Billionaire's Regret The Reveal
SARA“Hello Christian.” Sara said weakly, her voice hoarse and despite the weakness she was feeling all over her body, she still managed to grace her face with a small smile.Her eyes roaming through his whole body, she almost let out a whimper, taking a step forwards as she was overcome with so many emotions.She fucking missed him so much! Missed the feel of his arms around her body, the cologne from his shirt, and his husky voice breathing sweet nothings in her ear.Now more than ever, as she stared right at him still smiling, Sara realized just how much she missed having him close to her.Well, now she was here and she would remedy that all to quickly.She continued staring at him, but then seeing how unmoving he was, the stoic look in his face, and the brewing silence that thickened the atmosphere, Sara could only note that something was wrong somewhere.“Hey Christian…” She called out again, this time waving her right hands at him as she asked again, “What’s up?

A Billionaire's Regret Foreboding Feelings
TWO DAYS LATER SARAThe first thing Sara saw when she opened her eyes were the blinding white lights in the room, and the pungent smell of medicine and blood that made her want to puke.She lurched, her head almost springing up from the soft bed she was laying on, but she stayed still. Where was she? She began to wonder, her mind spinning as she tried to recall any event, but her head was blank.She tried to say something, but her voice was stuck, her throat sore and it felt like she hadn’t eaten or drank anything in days. Worse, she felt weak, all her body ached and she still had the strong urge to puke her stomach out.“Sara? Sara are you there?” Someone was saying, and blinking twice her vision still blurry, Sara saw two pair of hands waving over her face.“Sara? Can you hear me?” The ever familiar voice said again, and nodding softly Sara finally managed to say, “I can hear you. Ariel?” “Oh Sara… I was so worried.” Ariel said, and instantly Sara felt the bed dip as her best fri

A small sad smile creeping up his lips, his feelings further intensified when he felt the gentle fragile hands of his mother sneaking up his shoulders, as she squeezed lightly.“Don’t you think you are in a haste son? Have you thoroughly thought about everything?”She asked softly.Christian knew she meant no harm with her words, but her words reminded him so much of Sara and quickly he went off.Like a spark lighting up in his head, he blurted out angrily shrugging her hands off his shoulders, “Mother, if this is about Sara, you can just dead the topic. I don’t want to talk about her.”An awkward silence brewing, and the atmosphere becoming tense Mrs Smith finally broke it off, clearing her throat and chuckling almost inaudibly.“Son! I didn’t even want to talk about her? I was just asking some important questions but now that you say it…” She paused obviously gathering what to
