"Where is she?"
"How is she?"
"How did this happen?"
"I want to see her!"
Four different voices exclaimed as they all made an entry at the same time. Elijah, who was lost in deep thoughts, came back to the world and looked at them in a little shock.
There was Jonah, Mary, Nick and Natasha who one after another said and asked those things. All of their faces were filled with worry and fear.
But among them, Natasha's expression surprised him a lot. It looks like she cried on her way here. She was that scared for Sarah! Unbelievable!
"Elijah? Back to earth and tell us what happened here?!" Natasha exclaimed once again as she shook him.
He looked at her with a small frown looking at the closed hospital door with a clenched jaw.
"Sarah is in there,
"Miss Watson, please sign in here and we may be completed with the registry procedure of the marriage." The family lawyer of Watson's said while pointing at some places on the file. Sarah clutched the pen in her hand tightly after hearing him. Suddenly she felt suffocation. As if the words of the marriage registry paper were mocking and taunting her. Her hands started to shake as she looked down at the paper. Every word in the paper seemed to mock her, they were laughing at her, making her feel overwhelmed. Today is the day when she gets married. The day when she gets married to the family driver who was sitting beside her but what an irony! She has yet to see his face. She doesn't even want to look at him. This marriage, she doesn't want it! Yet she is doing it! Why?! Today is the day for which she was preparing herself from the last one week after her parents dropped the bomb on her, yet she is feelin
THE NEXT DAY IN THE PARTY HALL "Congratulations, Sarah." Sarah closed her eyes tightly as soon as she heard the voices of the people who just wished her. Just what she didn't need at that moment. Today was the reception party of her marriage which is organised by Helena Watson, her step grandmother. She was completely against the party but yet again she didn't have any choice. As it was forced upon her once again. But she made sure that no media or business associates were invited. Just the so-called immediate family members. She turned around to look at those people who were already looking at her with sick smirks on their faces which made her fist her hands tightly. But she kept her face blank and void of any emotions. "Oh, my god! Look at the glow on your face, Sarah! Aren't you looking beautiful, dearest cousin sister?"
"Miss Sarah, Miss Sarah, please stop." Sarah's step halted as soon as she heard his voice. Her husband's voice. Why was he calling her? This time she didn't keep her back facing him. She turned around to face him, to see his face for the first time and she felt the breath getting knocked out of her lungs. There stood a man, a few steps away from her, with a distanced face. He was wearing a black uniform suit. He was tall, maybe almost six feet. His facial features were sharp which could easily put a world-class model to shame. His sharp jaw was capable enough to cut glasses. His perfect silky black hair was styled. His stormy grey eyes were the most captivating. He was none other than the new Son-In-Law of the Watson's, her husband. He got another identity. The driver of the family. She remembers his name from the register paper. Elijah.
A FEW DAYS LATER "Close the door behind you, Elijah." Helena Watson ordered in her cold tone while not removing her eyes from the file she was reading. Elijah abided by the order quickly and closed the door behind him carefully before walking toward her table obediently. His face was void of any emotions as he stood in front of her, preparing himself for the upcoming stressful hour. "What can I help you with today, ma'am?" Elijah spoke up after a few moments of silently standing there. She looked up from the file and gave him a long look. "Sit down on the chair, Elijah. It's going to take time." She said with a cunning look which he immediately took a note of. She closed the file and concentrated on him. She kept her eyes on his every move. He hesitantly pulled the chair a little back before sitting down on it stiffly. He l
SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY "What's the plan now, boss?" A man in black suit asked his boss who was sitting in front of him, in darkness, with a lot of seriousness. "The plan was always the destruction of the Watson's, Jonah. It's never going to change until it's done." The man in the dark said to his employee, Jonah who nodded at him with a serious look on his face. "Yes, boss and their destruction is already knocking on their door." Jonah said with a confident smirk on his face which impressed his boss. "Where is 'he', Jonah?" The man asked after a few seconds, noticing that someone really important was missing from the meeting. "He had a late night meeting for his personal business, he should be here soon." As soon as Jonah was done explaining, there was a knock on the door and a voice came from the other side of the room. "May I co
TWO DAYS LATER "Hey, you! Come here!" A really arrogant girl in her early twenty called Elijah who was standing almost ten steps away from her, beside her oldie grandmother's luxurious car. She is Samantha Watson, another hire of the Watson family. She is young and beautiful but most of the beauty is artificial on her face as starting from the eyelashes to her teeth, they are all fake. From the look of her, it looks like she had done her lip and nose job quite a few times at this age. She was wearing a tight short dress while her dyed blonde hair was left open. She was wearing sunglasses which is why her eyes weren't visible and she was continuously fanning herself as the sun was shining hot. Samantha is a model, a Victoria secret model to be exact. She was in the Maldives for her shoot for the past two months. She has heard a lot about this handsome man standing in front of her from her cousin sister, Natash
"Look, who just walked in?" Samantha asked with crossed hands and an arrogant look on her face the moment Sarah and Jordan walked inside the living room of the Watson mansion. "Oh, you are talking about 'the walking bad luck'?" Natasha added after her and they both started to laugh together while sharing a high five. Sarah rolled her eyes at them. They both are older in age than her yet they behave like some freaking high school mean teenage girls. She ignored them and was going to walk past them when Natasha put her leg in her way to make her trip. Sarah wasn't looking and the moment she was going to walk past Natasha, she tripped on Natasha's leg and lost her balance. She was going to fall down and kiss the ground when Jordan got a hold of her waist at the right moment and saved her by pulling her up. "Are you alright?" He asked in a worried tone while still holding her by the waist.
"Everyone take your seats." She ordered in an authoritative tone which no one can disobey. The living room was divided into four sections. Three of them for three families and one for Helena Watson. Helena walked toward the lavish single couch which was specially made and designed for her only. Everyone sat down. Sarah was sitting beside her mother while her mother was sitting between her and her father. Helena gave all of them a small nod before starting the meeting. "So, almost all of us know why we all gathered here today. Yet I would like to address the issue again." She started saying. Sarah fisted her hands and gritted her teeth when such an important topic of her life was being subjected as 'an issue'. "It's about the news of Sarah's marriage!" "The heck is it about?!" Jordan shrieked out as soon as he heard He
"Where is she?""How is she?""How did this happen?""I want to see her!"Four different voices exclaimed as they all made an entry at the same time. Elijah, who was lost in deep thoughts, came back to the world and looked at them in a little shock.There was Jonah, Mary, Nick and Natasha who one after another said and asked those things. All of their faces were filled with worry and fear.But among them, Natasha's expression surprised him a lot. It looks like she cried on her way here. She was that scared for Sarah! Unbelievable!"Elijah? Back to earth and tell us what happened here?!" Natasha exclaimed once again as she shook him.He looked at her with a small frown looking at the closed hospital door with a clenched jaw."Sarah is in there,
“Where is Sarah?” Elijah asked with a frown as he looked around the room, looking for her frantically. “Who are you looking for, sir?” A doctor asked in confusion after coming forward. “Sarah! Where is she?” Elijah asked in a panicked tone as he just remembered her. He remembered that she didn’t sound good when they were talking on the phone. She must be in some danger. He felt like beating himself up for forgetting about her. “Who is Sarah,sir?” The doctor asked in a fearful tone. “The one who called me to inform me about Eliana! She was here. I heard you guys when we were on a call. Where is she now?” He asked at the top of his voice. The doctor got scared once again. “We didn’t see anyone when we came here, sir. We got busy with Miss Eliana as soon as we entered the room.” The doctor said and he let out a frustrated groan. “Only god
Elijah felt like his whole body was going to turn cold in anticipation and fear. He tried to call Sarah quite a few times. It kept ringing but no one picked it up. He called the guards as well but no one was picking up the call. He gritted his teeth hard in anger. He was going to kill all of them. He reached the hospital and ran inside it, leaving the car unattended, without parking. He ran toward the elevator to find it taking longer to come down as usual but he didn't have much time. So, he ran toward the stairs to take it to reach the floor where his sister was. Hopefully Sarah was there too. "Oh god! Please let both of them be safe. They both mean a lot to me. They are my everything. Please god. I have begged you for a lot of time but he never showed any mercy but please just this one." He prayed loudly and frantically as he ran upstairs. He was breathless by the time he reached the floor. His heart start
Sarah forgot about everything else at that moment and walked toward the hospital room as fast as she could. She came to meet Eliana. She was supposed to stay there with Eliana for a few minutes before going to the office. She had a really important meeting today which she can't postpone or delay anymore because that's going to mess up her schedule. As she neared the room, she suddenly felt a bad energy coming from the room. The feeling was nerve wracking. It made her heart beat badly, for some negative vibe. She felt so scared suddenly and she didn't know why she was feeling so but it made her want to curl in some corner. It was so so bad! She slowly advanced to the room where Eliana was. Her heart was still beating crazily while her leg was wobbling. Her hand was shaking as she put her hand on the handle. She took some deep breaths. She looked back at the guards and they were still looking at their front with no expressions on their fac
THE NEXT MORNING "Good morning, beautiful." Sarah rolled her eyes at his new nickname and cheekiness. "Good morning, Mr King. Can you please tell me where you find such nicknames every new day?" Sarah asked with a sigh while walking through the hospital corridor. "Well, that's for me to know and you to find out." He said with the same level of cheekiness. She shook her head at him. "How are you today?" He asked after a few seconds. "I am good." She answered in a casual tone. "Are you happy?" He asked once again, making her confused. "Why are you asking that?" She asked with a raised eyebrow which obviously he couldn't see. "Well, you got your husband, your love." He stated and she let out a chuckle. "I am not even going to ask
"What is this man doing here? I just lost my appetite!" Samantha exclaimed like a spoiled brat as soon as she saw Elijah sitting on the dining table. Sarah frowned at her while holding Elijah's hand under the table. But she didn't say anything. "What's there to lose appetite, Samantha? Because as far as I remember about your desert preferences a few months ago-..." Natasha couldn't complete her sentence as Samantha's glare shut her up so she just smirked at her in reply. "Don't you think you have started talking too much these days? Are you sure it's good for your health and peace?" Samantha asked Natasha in a mean tone. "Oh don't worry about my health and peace. I belong to the group of those people who ruin other people's health and peace. So, I know how to protect mine well." Natasha replied back sassily while smirking at Samantha while Samantha was fuming in anger.
"Hello, Jordan. I am very happy to see you but I would have been happier if you had knocked before entering the room." Helena said in pure sarcasm, making Jordan wonder from where does this woman get all this humour. But he was too furious to care about that at that moment. "That bastard is playing a double game with us." He growled in fury as he slammed on the sofa where Elijah was seated previously. "Who are you talking about? And why do you sound so furious?" Helena asked, suddenly getting serious. "I am talking about your so-called master pawn! That damn driver, Elijah. He is playing some double game with us and that makes me furious." He said with gritted teeth, making her look at him with a deeper frown. "What are you talking about?" She asked in a blank tone. "I was just outside the door when you were talking with him." He said and before
ON THE OTHER SIDE "May I come in, ma'am?" Elijah knocked on the door. "Come in, Elijah." Helena spoke up with a small and it creeped Elijah so bad that he felt a shiver run past his spine. He kept his face blank as he got inside the room. It wasn't her office room this time, it was her bedroom. It made the situation more awkward for Elijah. He didn't close the door behind him this time. "Good evening, ma'am." He greeted her politely and she nodded at him with the same smile. "Very good evening, Elijah. I am seeing you after so long. How are you?" She asked in a tone as if she was his biggest well-wisher. "Thank you for asking, ma'am. I am good. I hope the same for you." He said in a low tone while looking down on the floor. "I am good as well, as you can see." She said with a smile. "Why don't you take a seat?" She as
"Now, tell me, what's going on?" Sarah asked as soon as they were inside Natasha's room and closed the door behind. They both took a seat on her bed and Sarah patiently waited for Natasha to open her mouth. But she sat there silently, looking down at her hands, without letting out a single word. Sarah looked at her with a worried frown. "Natasha? Is everything alright?" She asked slowly, in a tone filled with nothing but worry."I don't know, Sarah. My life is in a mess currently and I don't know what to do." Natasha said in agony while breaking down completely. Sarah's eyes widened and she was quick to lean forward and hug her tightly."Oh my god, Natasha! Please don't cry. Everything is going to be alright. Please stop crying." Sarah cooed in a caring tone while rubbing her back soothingly to calm her down.Natasha cried hugging Sarah back, without saying anything and Sarah understood that she needed time.
