John's POV

I was trying so hard to ignore the feeling. All I wanted to do was sit next to Sarah until the doctor confirmed that she was healthy. Her incessant questions and curiosity were making it hard for me to mask the feeling within. I had suddenly gone soft, could it be love? It is all a lie! I don't believe I would ever find love again. Never!

“Are you going to ignore me again?” she asked. That was when I jerked out from my momentary loss in my head. It seemed like I had been lost in my thoughts for a while now.

“Sorry, I got lost for a moment. Your health…..” I didn't know how to start this conversation. I felt a surge of nervousness through my nerves, and I knew that if I started narrating to her in detail everything that the doctor had said, I would be at risk of exposing myself.

“It seems like you've forgotten. I just want to know what the doctor said about my health” she repeated for clarity's sake.

“I heard you perfectly the first time. I just don't know how to start”

    Sarah's POVSomething just seems off with John. Since I collapsed, John has been acting strangely. He just walked into my room and asked Rosaline to leave, but he hasn't said anything for close to a minute now. “Mr. Stones, you've been mute for a while now. Is everything alright?” I purposely called him by his surname to see his reaction. “I am sorry. Do you care for lunch?” It looks like he just got his act together. He handed the food pack he had returned with to me. I opened it to find something I love to eat. He had French fries in there and a burger as well. I was so dumbfounded that I didn't know how to express the heartfelt gratitude I had. “I felt you would love them. You told me something about this the last time we went on a date” he said. He sounds softer now. I won't fall for any of his games again. “You don't understand how I feel right now. I am so happy. Thank you so much” I gave a heartfelt appreciation to him while pulling him in for a warm hug. “You don't need

    John's POVI have never been in a situation where I allow myself to appreciate nature this much. I noticed that I was being soft with Sarah. I didn't have any precise explanation for that anyway. “I can't believe that we are out here together. It feels so great!” She couldn't hold back the excitement she had. Her cheeks were already red, and she couldn't stop smiling. The last thing I did was just apologise. I don't remember ever flattering her or saying something that would've prompted her to just keep up the red cheeks. “I need to go back inside. You can have your fun” I quickly left the garden without waiting to get a reply from her. I had no explanation for what had just happened. I just felt something was not right somewhere. Even though I was feeling at ease around her, the emotions that surged through me at that moment only happened when I was still having an affair with Rebecca. The desire to hurt Sarah had miraculously left my thoughts. All I can think of is a way to pro

    John's POV I kept mute because I didn't know whether the stranger was referring to me or someone else. “You seem sad, or will I say confused?” He said. This time, he made it obvious that he was talking to me. He didn’t look drunk anyway. “It's none of your business. Just scurry away, young fella” I said arrogantly. “You don't need to be harsh on me. I just want to help” He had a large smile on his face, which showed that he wasn't even pissed at the way I spoke to him. I made sure I didn't make any eye contact with him. “What do you want? Should I buy you a drink” I don't love people barging into my privacy, so this man here was getting on my nerves. “I am Josh. Nice to meet you” He took a seat on the chair next to me and gave his hand for a handshake. While I kept contemplating whether to give him a handset or not, I kept looking at his hand with utter disgust all over my expression. “The name’s John” I finally shook his hand after understanding that it would not make any sense

    Sarah's POV I just felt the need to help him out. I was peeking through my door when I saw him dragging his feet to his room. I have never seen him look so tired and lousy, by the way. After I had successfully made him sleep, I carefully placed his head in his pillow and made my exit from his room quietly. “Jeez! You just gave me a heart attack” I could feel my heart throbbing already. I had opened the door while leaving John's room, when I unexpectedly saw Rosaline standing motionless in front of the door. She looked like she had intentionally stood there in order to scare me. I had to braise myself immediately and close the door gently in order not to wake John from his sleep. “What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked furiously. We had already entered my room, so we had the freedom to raise our voices slightly. “I didn't do anything. I was just about to tell the boss that you were missing” She replied. “Are you serious? I didn't even take up to two minutes in his room,” I rep

    John's POVI raised my face to see if she was ready to give me a massage when I noticed her looking at me. She wasn't just looking at me. She had a look of lust all over her expression. She bit her lips in anticipation, but she didn't look like she was conscious of what she was doing.I snapped my finger below her nose, forcing her back to the consciousness of her environment. “I am sorry” she quickly apologised.I ignored her and went ahead to lie down in a supine position on the bed. “There is a bottle of oil right next to the sofa. If you have any need for it” I informed her. She nodded in positive affirmation and slowly left the bed to grab the oil.I could not see what she was doing from my position, but I could tell she was trying to get ready to give me the best massage. I heard the door lock moving, so I presumed she was locking the door.Out of curiosity, I was forced to lift myself a bit with my arm and look at what she was doing. I turned and noticed her taking a deep breat

    John's POVI didn't know what to give her as an answer. This wasn't because I was nervous, I just felt like I didn't have a reason myself. “What's the matter? You don't like it?” I decided to reply to Sarah's question with a question.“I am sorry. I guess I crossed my boundaries there. I was just curious” She replied softly. Her voice was very tender this time. I could tell that's she was startled by my tone.“You didn't do anything wrong there. I just don't have an answer to the question now. If you don't mind, can we change the topic now?” I asked politely. I have never been so polite when relating with others.“You don't need to ask for my permission sir” She replied respectfully with a soft smile on her face.Such a sweet smile, I can't forgive myself for making that smile elude her face for months now. “I will love you to call me John. Let's leave the formality a bit,” I requested. The expression of surprise that gripped her was one that she was unable to hide from me. Her jaw wa

    Sarah's POV His behaviour at the counter was something I could not explain. I have seen people react when a stranger tries to harass their helpless employees, but this one was more than that. He was showing dominance. Just like a lion trying to claim his mate, his eyes beamed with violence. I was scared for a moment there because I didn't know what the outcome of such a clash was going to result in. “What happened back there?” I decided to break the silence and get an explanation from him. “What did I do? I was just trying to protect you. You could clearly see that he was trying to harass you there.” he went on like a speeding train. I watched his expression and found out that he was filled with rage at the moment. But he was trying so hard to bottle it and keep it down. I just followed my instincts without hesitation. I pulled him in for a hug and placed his head on my shoulder while patting him on his back softly. “Just calm down” I whispered into his ear softly. In no time, the

    My whole world seemed to have been crumbling upon me. My conscience and everything within me that I thought had died started speaking against me. What have you done, John? What is she thinking of me now? I had no answer to those questions. I could feel my heart racing and my hands shaking. My limbs were already sweaty, and my hard, erect dick had already shrieked completely.I braised myself, got my act together, and went to Sarah's room to seek an apology. That's just the best thing I can do in a situation like this.It just happened within a split second. I didn't have any control over myself. It isn't my fault at all.“It is your fault, John. You should have had control over that thing between your legs” My conscience just kept banging my head with reasons to put the blame on myself.I have been standing outside Sarah's door for close to a minute now, but I haven't heard a single word from her.Are you sure she didn't storm out of the house? No, I heard her bang the door immediat

    Sarah's POVFinally! I felt it was a dream. Walking down the aisle and the sound of wind beside the beach. It was all a moment I could never forget. My heart's deepest wish was granted. John was finally my husband, and fully mine. Nobody had the right to come in between us. “You look gorgeous this morning, Mrs Stones,” John announced as he walked into the swimming pool section where I was busy having a trip down the sweet memories. He walked to where I sat and wrapped his hand around me as he sat behind me. We both kissed for a while and then looked into each other's eyes while we let out a soft smile. “How was your night?” I asked softly. “It was perfect. What more could be better than sleeping with the knowledge that you're now my wife,” he flattered. I giggled. “Stop flattering me, baby.” “As far as we're together, I can't stop flattering you,” he chuckled. “How long are we going to be in Paris?” I asked curiously. “Your maternity leave just began in Paris,” he replied

    John's POVRaymond's wedding raised questions in Sarah's head. Judging from her body language, I could tell how desperate she was for me to start making plans for our wedding. “What are your plans for the wedding?” Raymond asked curiously. I was beginning to feel that these questions were all orchestrated by Sarah herself. Rosaline had come earlier with the same question, and her father too did the same thing. But I left all of them clueless. “Come clean. Did she send you to ask me?” I asked Raymon. “No. Chill out, dude. I am just curious to know what the big man is planning,” he said. I looked at him closely, trying to see if he was behaving suspiciously, but there was no sign towards that anyway. “I have plans. But Sarah is growing impatient by the day,” I replied. “You can't blame her. Her pregnancy is beginning to grow prominent by the day, and she really wants to tie the knot with you. Every woman wants to be at the altar with her fiancée,” he explained. “I get your po

    Sarah's POVI had a little to ask my father. “You look so much like your mother when she was so young. Those eyes remind me of her loving heart,” my father said as he went down memory lane. “What happened between you two? Don't lie to me because she also told me that you both got into a really rough situation,” I said. He took a deep breath. “There's nothing to hide anyway. Yes, we both got into a bad situation, and it was all my fault.” His expression gradually changed into a very sad and moody one. “I was a jerk to her. Everything happened because of me anyway,” he continued. “What do you mean, dad?” I asked. “I used to beat her up for fun. Unfortunately, I did these when you were there. You would always make an attempt to defend her from me, but I will ignore you,” he explained. Tears had already started clouding up in his eyes, and I could see how remorseful he was for his actions. “It just felt like I couldn't stop. Like…something was pushing me,” he continued. “So, she

    John's POVThe clue has been in my hands since, and I was ignorant about it. “How did you get this picture?” Sarah asked shockingly. “This… Come with me. We're going back to the correctional centre. I think I know who your father is,” I replied as we made a rush out of the house. “What are you talking about?” Sarah's confusion deepened. “Just follow me. Trust me,” I urged. It was still 6 pm, so there was a little window for us to gain access. “Good evening, sir. Please, we would love to see Louis,” I pleaded with the guard as we got into the correctional centre. “I am sorry, sir. We don't accept visitors by this time of the day,” he replied bluntly. “You need to understand, sir. This is very important,” I persisted. “Look, sir. I suggest that you please leave this place at once. Except you want to be meat for the night,” he said angrily. “Come on, man. Work with me. I could give you something in return,” I whispered. “Now you're talking. How much are we looking at?” His exc

    Sarah's POVWe moved from prison to prison, searching for clues as to my father's whereabouts. But all we kept getting were negative replies. John was as frustrated as I was. But he wasn't ready to leave my side. “Good afternoon, sir. I am sorry we had to disturb your peaceful afternoon,” John said as we both walked into the warden's office. Edward was replaced by another warden, and he looked quite rigid. “I don't have a problem, as long as you guys make your visit fast,” he said with a baritone voice. “Oh, we are just here to ask you if you know about a man named Reese in this prison,” I said politely. “I am sorry, but that name hasn't been mentioned within these walls since I've been here,” He gave a straight reply without looking at our faces. “You could probably look at the records, I guess…” “You need to leave. I have provided the information you needed,” he interjected rudely. “Just give us a listening ear,” I said firmly. “Leave my office immediately. Silly humans

    John's POVRaymond's news was the news I have been waiting for. Sarah's questions kept coming but I wasn't ready to answer them. “Just wait until we get to the station. You will see it for yourself,” I replied firmly. Immediately we got to the police station, I quickly rushed out of the car with Sarah and rushed into the building. “Where is he?” I asked desperately. Raymond quickly pointed towards the interrogation room. Without further hesitation, I quickly rushed into the interrogation room. I raged towards Johnson and gave him a firm punch to the face. It didn't end with one punch. I kept punching him over and over until Raymond rushed in and pulled me away from him. “Get yourself together, man. He isn't worth the stress,” he said. “Let me deal with him. He's the fault my fiancée is in all this pain and trauma. Her mother was supposed to be alive if not for that scum sitting there,” I yelled angrily while struggling to loosen Raymond's grip on me. “Calm your nerves man.

    Sarah's POV After what happened with Rebecca the other day, I have been sick and worried about John. He has a lot of enemies, and you can't tell when he is going to get attacked again. I heaved a deep sigh of frustration as I used my right hand to massage my forehead. I was feeling a little bit stressed, and I sure could use a break. I have been working seriously these few days, and John warned me against that. “Do you need some rest, ma'am,” Grace said as she walked into my office unannounced. “You didn't knock? Do you think you can just walk in at will?” I asked angrily. “I am sorry, ma. I have been at it for a while now. I kept knocking, but you didn't give me any response,” she replied softly. “My bad. Maybe I didn't hear you. Gosh!! I have a lot of things going on in my head,” I lamented. “I am sorry ma'am. You need to have some rest. I can help you handle these emails. That is why I am your PA,” she suggested calmly. “You seem so nice. I guess I ha

I just cane ro say hello to your fiancée by the way,” she replied. “Take her inside. Make sure you don't let her out of your sight,” I instructed Parker as I handed Sarah's protection over to him. Parker quickly moved up the stairs with Sarah's hand in his. She looked very worried, but I sent out a wink, assuring her that I was going to be fine. “So, now she's away. Can we spend some alone time?” She asked seductively as she made an attempt to take off her dress. “That is not happening with the both of us. I am engaged, and I suggest that yo

    John's POV“What's the update, man?” I asked as I walked into an abandoned warehouse. Raymond was able to catch one of the men who worked with Johnson. So we brought him in for a little interrogation. “We've been having a peaceful interrogation, but I can't get him to speak up,” he replied with blood over his fist. “Oh, come on, man. Don't you think you were a little bit hard in him. You should have started with some Russian manicure before beating him. I'm sure he would not withsatdn the pain of three fingers,” I said. Raymond smirked. “You remind me of the good old days.” “So, back to business. Where did he stop?” I said. The victim gave off muffled noises and screams as I approached him. Fortunately, we were able to get good information. He gave us his address, and Raymond didn't hesitate to call his friend who works for the LAPD. “Are you sure you trust this man to handle this situation?” I asked cautiously. “Yes, relax. He's nothing close to Johnson. He can be trusted,
