SARAH'S POV This situation was the last thing I wanted to get myself into, and the fact that I was deep down in it created a wave through me that I was trying to rid myself off.In a way , From how he looked at me to everything else, all that it Left was this darkness and it left me with an aftertaste of fear. For one, there’s no way I was going to tell him how I had spent my previous night even if he kept asking. I was completely alone, with time to ruminate on the past events and how much it was connected to this, I was aware that one mistake was all it took and … I sighed. Confused? Most definitely, anyone in my shoes would. Yet in this state I had the time to reflect on the past and the sickling effect it was having on me. I couldn't help it, it left my mind feeling blank and in utter confusion slipping In with more moments. There’s time to relive the memories I had shared with the man, though as soon as it all started I knew it was coming to an end, there was time to reflec
SARAH’S POVThis was the worst day of my life.Being sentenced to watch my half-sister Emily get married was the worst type of torture, most especially when I'd like to be anywhere else than here. However, we the Johnsons care about publicity, so I didn't dare try to skip the wedding.“So what do you think of my dress?” Emily turned around to face the mirror, prepping for the attention of everyone else.“Oh, my gosh; I think the dress is going to be a statement!” Her best friend, Fiona gushed smiling up at Emily.“You look fabulous in it and trust me everybody is going to be staring at you! Ems, I think you're going to be the bride of the year!” Her other friend, Celine joined in.“Period!” They all chorused before bursting into laughter.“Oh my gosh, I've been dreaming of this day for so long. I can't wait to see Liam and get married to him and create little beautiful babies!” Emily jumped up excitedly, turning around to admire her reflection. “This is literally my fantasy coming to
SARAH'S POV The air in the car was quite tense, especially when I watched him step on the accelerator, pushing the car beyond the normal range of speeding limits.My heart left into my throat, my nails digging into my thighs where I held on for dear life.Shifting around uncomfortably, I kept glancing at him from the corner of my eyes but his expression didn't change.His body was rigid and his hands were gripping the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles were white.“Um, Liam…ca-can you please…t-try t-to slow d-down?” I stuttered out, my anxiety skyrocketing when we hit a small pothole in the home and the motion made me lift off my seat for some seconds. As usual, he ignored me and kept on driving. The blood was rushing to my head, making me feel woozy and dizzy for a second. When I couldn't take it anymore, I spoke up again.“Please? You know you're my brother-in-law? It'd be quite bad if you got me involved in an accident?” Thankfully that seemed to provoke a response. He cu
SARAH'S POV At this point, I was so scared that my heart was beating so fast and loud that it was hard to hear anything else over the sound.I shrank back from Liam's deranged gaze. “Liam…please, I… promise, I won't try to-”“Shut up, shut up, shut up!” Liam ranted, his eyes turning to slits. “Can't you just keep quiet and let me think?”I didn't need to be told again, immediately slamming my mouth closed. Distantly, I heard sniffing, and from the corner of my eyes, I could see Liam sniffing at my neck.I whimpered, closing my eyes. Fuck!I was in much deeper trouble than I thought. Not only was his entire personality a lie but he was also fucking crazy!Like full-blown mental! I tried to stay as still as possible but that only made things worse. The hand that was fisting my shirt went up, snaking around my neck.The blood running through my veins turned to ice, my muscles locking into place, his thumb traced the side of my throat, almost as if he was caressing it.Liam leaned forwa
LIAM’S POVWhen Sarah collapsed in my arms, I took a step back in surprise realizing that probably I might have gone too hard on the poor girl, judging by the way she responded to my touch, I had deduced that it was her first time and maybe I had gone too far in trying to scare her.Frustrated and annoyed with myself, I pushed off her limp body tucking my erection which was rapidly going down back into my pants so it wasn't uncomfortable for me to walk properly.Out of good conscience, I couldn't leave her sprawled carelessly on the seat, so I tucked her in properly, making sure her head was on the headrest but I secured her body with the seat belt before slipping back to the driver's seat.Scrubbing a hand down my face, I thought back to everything and how it all started.Everything started less than a year ago but looking back at it, it seems like it was a lifetime ago.I had no idea how Emily's father was able to convince my dad but one night, I got called into my father's study an
SARAH'S POV My mouth dropped open in surprise. “How long have you been in there?”He slid his hands into his pants pocket, looking calm and handsome as ever. “Just long enough to get what I wanted.” I thought I couldn't get any more shocked but I did. “You've been watching me for how long? What kind of sick pervert are you?” I yelled, suddenly seized by anger. Reaching for the pillow behind me, I grabbed it and tossed it to him.Liam easily sidesteps it, staring at me with a look of bemusement on his face. “That all you got?”I growled under my breath, jumping up to my feet. Deep down, I knew he was just trying to trigger me and piss me off but at that point, I just felt so angry and a little bit hopeless at my situation and I wanted him to feel as hurt as I did.Anything my hand could touch, I took hold of it and hurled it across the room with all my strength. Pictures, frames, glasses…. name it, as far as my hand could touch, I could throw.The annoying part was how easy he made s
SARAH'S POV I stood there, not moving an inch until I heard the bathroom door close behind me.As soon as I heard the shower turn on in the bathroom, it dawned on me that this was my opportunity to either run away or case my surroundings.Holding my breath, I tiptoe out of the room, slowly inching the door open so I could step outside.If I thought it looked beautiful from my bedroom, then I was sorely mistaken, the view was absolutely breathtaking and I had to stop and pause for a second to soak it in.Taking a couple of more steps forward, I realized that we were on the second story of the high-rise building that overlooked what seemed like a pool or a lake… I couldn't be sure because I rarely escorted Emily or Dad out when they were vacation.Conscious of the time and the consequences if Liam came outside and find out that I was missing, I cased the property as fast as I could and deduced that we were in some sort of Villa- it was too small to be called la mansion- before stepping
SARAH'S POV Liam spoke of dinner earlier on but what I wasn't expecting was that it would rather be filled with these strange faces that I wasn't so familiar with.Walking in five minutes late, I was met with this sinister look that appeared to consume me from the corner where he was seated.Keenly, I ignored and made way to my seat instead, my heart beat was ricocheting wildly with each footsteps that I took. As soon as I approached the seat, I let myself to the left hand side from where he was seated.Like my soul, my mind was rather blurry. I was confused by so many things at that moment, while trying to distract myself from the ongoing events right there at the table.It will be a couple of minutes later before Liam would lean and whisper to my ears .“You are ten minutes late, you do know how much I hate being kept waiting." My pupils, though dilated in sheer surprise, wanted to convince him that it was rather five but still all of this felt confusing that moment that I had opt
