"I can't believe he raised his voice at you. It wasn't right on his part. And you were in the wrong here too. You should have noticed his discomfort a long time ago. But guess what you did? You did notice it a long ago but unseen it and thought you can just make his discomfort go away by forcefully including in your happy space. That's not how it works. You understand?" Mary made her understand with a beautiful smile and Sarah listened to her with a lot of concentration and noticed that Mary was right
"You are right, Mary. But from the start of the relationship, it's been me who is always showing effort and he is always at the receiving end. Can't I expect him to be a little bit compassionate toward the relationship too? Why does he always have to think about the status and let it come between our moments?" Sarah asked in a small voice, she was truly hurt with Elijah's yesterday's behaviour.
Now she is not going to take any step to
"I just don't understand, why do I have to take a shower for a party when I already showered once?!" Sarah said after coming out of the shower room with a look of irritation plastered on her face. "You are asking me that?! I don't understand what am I even doing here? I wasn't connected with shit anyway?" Mary said with a sigh as they both settled on the comfortable chairs, placed in front of the big mirrors. After they were done with the office, they both came out of the building to see a car was already parked outside the building, waiting for them to pick up. And the host for their ride was none other than Jonah. When Mary was going to part her ways with Sarah to go toward her car, Jonah stopped Mary and brought her here saying she is invited too and her presence is a must. They were driven to the biggest fashion house in New York and were guided straight away into a room where they met four differen
"Mary, can you click some pictures of me?" Sarah asked while forwarding her phone toward Mary. Mary smirked in delight and happily took the phone in her hand to complete the order. "That will be my pleasure but may I know who is the lucky man to receive these pictures?" She asked in a teasing tone while wiggling her eyebrows at Sarah. "Mary! Keep your mouth shut and do as told." Sarah playfully scolded her and striked some professional pose for the camera. Everyone was in awe seeing her sparkling beauty. A few minutes later Jonah came inside the room after knocking twice and was knocked back as soon as his eyes landed on the two beauties present in the room. He almost lost his balance and took two steps back. "You are looking like the queen whose order I will abide by." Jonah complimented with a breathless look on his face. His compliment was a l
"Yes, she is going to be present at the party. It's something like an introductory party to introduce her to his close associates while everyone stays behind the mask. He is not going to introduce her just yet. He will just drop some hints and at the same time confuse everyone. It's one kind of business party too. Mr King is going to sign a big contract today with a foreign delegate. But it has another motive too." Jonah said and looked at them seriously. "What?" "What?" Sarah and Mary asked at the same time. "There are some people behind the mask who have offended him. He is going to punish them for playing games with him in the party only. So, be aware all the time and don't talk much to anyone in the party and don't reveal your identity at any cost. And never let that mask slip off your face." Jonah warned and they both nodded at him. "Okay, now you are prepared enough to get out of
"You seriously didn't think I would let YOU dance with anyone else, did you?" The man spoke up in his deep husky voice which made her stomach twist. Her eyes widened when she recognised the owner of the voice. She immediately tried to get away from him instinctively but he pulled her closer by her waist and that's when she noticed their position. Her hands were over his shoulder and his hands were on her waist which he was holding tightly and firmly. They were closer than she liked as he moved themselves with the song in the background. "Mr King!" She whispered his name as she looked at the masked man in front of her with shock and disbelief. "Mr King! What are you doing?" She asked in disbelief and started to struggle to come out of his hold but it was impossible as he kept his hand firmly around her waist. "Having a nice dance and enjoying my party. That's it." He replied in a s
She just found her way out of the hotel and she was at the back side of it where there was no one. She took deep breaths to fill her lungs with the much needed oxygen and the tears didn't stop falling yet. She started to wipe her lips aggressively to get the feeling of that man's lips off from her lips but she couldn't get that thought out of her brain, making her feel really helpless and disgusted. She started to scratch herself with her long beautiful nails but nothing was helping her. She was crying badly by then, not knowing what she was feeling but she just knew that she needed to get the feeling of his lips off of her lips and mind. She closed her eyes tightly to forget those memories when someone else's face came into her mind. She immediately opened her eyes. She brought the phone out of her purse and dialed Elijah's number hurriedly. She was crying as she waited for him to pick up the cal
"Why are you saying sorry?" Elijah spoke up after a few moments of silence as she kept crying. "Because I am feeling bad thinking how you would feel when you would know about it." She said in a small voice as the cries subsided and silent tears were falling from her eyes which she didn't care to wipe off. "Then why did you tell me about it? You could easily live normally without telling me that." Elijah said and looked at her painfully. "No, Elijah! I couldn't live with that burden on my shoulder, not easily at least. I told you because that's how a relationship works. We have to be truthful with each other with everything." She said while letting some more tears fall. It's not going to stop until he forgives her. "Why did you care so much? About my feelings?" He asked in sheer astonishment as he looked at her passionately. "
The next morning "Mary, I want you to contact all the board members of The Watson's construction house after this meeting is over and fix a meeting with them at tomorrow ten in the morning." Sarah ordered Mary who acknowledged and noted the order quickly while pushing hier glass away from her nose bridge before it could fall off. They were in a completely professional mood right now. They reached the building where they were going to have the meeting and, not surprisingly enough, it was the office of her new business. Everyone was already present in the meeting room of the office. The vice presidents, Helena Watson and her cousins. "And also note down all the important and major points that are going to be discussed today. Don't miss even a single point." Sarah presented her next set of orders while walking toward the elevator to reach the conference room. "Also don't forget to set a meeting
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't have time or interest in wasting them on the drama that Miss Sarah is creating right now. Though I figured it out recently it's her nature, creating scenes everywhere to gain attention but I would like to remind her that there are people who don't like the idea of wasting their precious time on people like her." Steven's direct insult made her clench her jaw and dig her sharp nails on her palm in a painful way. She gritted her teeth while giving him her glare. Steven Washington just smirked at her with triumph which angered her some more but this time she kept her temper in control and walked toward her seat confidently which was directly opposite of Helena Watson. She ignored Steven completely and looked at everyone present in the room, especially at her cousins. Weren't they very furious at Steven two nights ago? Then how are they so calm right now? Mary took a seat at her left side and Coo
"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.
