As Yohan's rage began to subside, he took a step back, the weight of his actions sinking in. Kevin, too, remained composed, unwilling to escalate the situation further. They stood in a tense silence.
Finally, Yohan turned away, unable to face Kevin any longer. He walked towards the terrace railing, his back facing Kevin.
The cool evening breeze seemed to wash over them. And as the evening turned into night, they continued to stand there, lost in their thoughts, the silence speaking volumes about the complex web of emotions that entangled them.
...
It was late evening, and Sara was waiting anxiously for Kevin to return to Sa House. As time passed, she grew concerned about his delay. Deciding not to wait any longer, she went to the kitchen, planning to start cooking.
Just then, the familiar sound of Kevin's car horn reached her ears. Hearing the honk, she rushed to the entrance.
Kevin entered the villa, but his walk was unsteady, and his appea
Kevin held her close in his arms, gazing at her lovingly. "I am going to France for an important work. It will take several days to return.""No problem. I'll handle things here," Sara assured him."Will you come with me?" Kevin asked.However, Sara's face fell on hearing the idea of going to France. She gently stepped away from his embrace."France..." she sighed softly.That place she would never want to go after Rudra's death."Because of my work, the honeymoon plans aren't coming together. But we can go to Paris under that excuse. I know every bride dreams of seeing the Eiffel Tower on her honeymoon," Kevin said, his voice brimming with excitement and affection.But Sara sadly replied, "No, Kevin. You should go."He sensed the sadness in her voice, but before he could inquire further, she turned back with a gentle smile and said, "You will be busy with work, and we wouldn't be able to spend time together.""Are you s
Yohan stumbled, falling to the ground, crying and Natalie quickly sat beside him, cradling his head on her lap as she caressed his hair, crying alongside him. "What do I do with this yearning? What do I do with this regret? I just want my daughter back," Yohan blurted out, his tears flowing freely. Natalie's heart ached, never having seen him like this before. "Sara…" he whispered, his voice filled with pain. “Control yourself, Ricky.” "I miss you, Sara" he whispered, losing his senses as grief consumed him. Natalie wept alongside him. The next morning… The first ray of morning sunlight gently woke Sara from her peaceful slumber. As she looked to her side, she noticed the empty space where Kevin had been lying. It then dawned on her that he must have left for his business trip, while she was still lost in sleep after their intimate time together. Covering her naked body with the bedsheet, she stood up and noticed a smal
"It pained me to know that you left her. Because I thought that both of you could be happy only with each other. But seeing her with Kevin now makes me glad she did the right thing by divorcing you. If she had not done this, she would have kept giving you proof of her chastity for the rest of her life."With those words, Bruno left the bedroom, and Yohan sat there, lost in his thoughts. His eyes turned red, and his face flushed with emotion. He felt a mix of regret and guilt. The truth hit him hard, and he realized the depth of his mistakes.In the Brooklyn Tower…After leaving Cerate Solutions, Sara was heading towards her car in the parking when her phone rang. Seeing "Kevin" written on the screen, she smiled brightly. Getting in the car, she picked up the call."Hey," she greeted him.Hearing her sweet voice, Kevin breathed deeply. "I want to come back. I don’t want to be here alone."Buckling her seatbelt, she started drivin
While everyone was in the dining hall, Yohan woke up from his slumber. His body felt weak, and he needed a cigarette to calm his nerves. Stepping out into the garden, he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. The sight of Sara's car parked nearby only added to the ache in his heart. He tried to distract himself, focusing on the flickering ember of the cigarette.Meanwhile, inside the villa, the others continued chatting in the living room.Sara said, "Thank you both for the lovely dinner. But I should get going now."Natalie looked concerned, "Are you sure, dear? You can stay if you want."Sara smiled gently, "It's kind of you, but I think it's best if I head back."Natalie nodded understandingly, "Alright, my dear. Take care and don't be a stranger. Come back whenever you want."Sara hugged them both tightly, "I promise, I'll be back soon."Sara said her goodbyes to the elders and walked towards her car, her heart burdened with though
The next day…During the lunch break, Vishwa Gandhi approached Sara with a smile. "Hi, Miss Owen. Mind if I join you for a moment?""Of course not, Miss Gandhi. Please have a seat," Sara replied, closing her laptop."I must say, your dedication to work always amazes me," Vishwa said, looking impressed. "Even during lunchtime, you're checking emails."Sara chuckled, "Well, I had some free time after lunch, so I thought I'd catch up on a few things. But...you don't look good. What's wrong?"Vishwa leaned in, looking a bit anxious. "Actually, I'm a bit worried."“Why? Isn’t project work going well?”“Not because of the project itself, but because I have a party to attend this evening. And I tend to get a little too carried away with drinks in such situations. I'm not sure how I'll get back home."Sara thought for a moment. "You could book a cab or ask a friend to drop you."Vishwa sighed, "The
Yohan Dixon turned back, and at that moment, Sara's heart skipped a beat. The world seemed to freeze for a moment as their eyes met.Yohan looked breathtakingly handsome in his black suit, with the black shirt unbuttoned at the top, revealing a glimpse of his muscular, masculine chest. Despite the cold expression on his face, there was an undeniable aura of mystery and allure around him. He held a glass of whisky in one hand, his other palm still wrapped in gauze, and the way he stood exuded an air of confidence and power.As his intense gaze met Sara's, his eyes didn't even blink, but she could sense a flicker of surprise in them. It seemed he was equally taken aback by her presence at Leslie's party. She tried to read his emotions, but his icy behaviour made it challenging to solve what he was thinking or feeling at that moment."Hey, Vishwa! You're such a tardy one!" Leslie exclaimed with a playful grin.Vishwa chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, I know. I was waitin
“I swear, you can kill any man with your sexy looks,” he said, complimenting her beauty.Sara didn't want to engage in conversation with him. She turned to leave, trying to distance herself from him."Where are you going?" he asked, trying to stop her.Sara shot him a cold look. "I don't feel like chatting with you.""Well, it's better than going in and getting humiliated by uncle's girlfriend," Neel said, smirking.Sara decided to stay there and crossed her arms. She kept her distance, still not wanting to engage with Neel."I don't need your company, Neel.”Neel smirked, undeterred by her coldness. "Oh, come on, Sara. Don't be so distant. We used to be close once.""That was a long time ago, and things have changed," she retorted, avoiding eye contact.Neel leaned in, trying to charm her. "You haven't changed much, though. You still look stunning."Sara rolled her eyes. "Save your flattery for
Yohan took off his coat and dove into the water. Ignoring the confusion and stares around, Yohan reached Sara just in time, pulling her limp body out of the water and onto the poolside. He pulled Sara's unconscious body to the surface and carried her in his arms, laying her on the poolside. His breaths were heavy as he stared at her pale face in a state of panic.He didn't know what to do next.The security team quickly arrived, rushing to assess Sara's condition.Yohan, still filled with worry, pressed his hand to her stomach, and water flowed out of her mouth. Without thinking, he began performing CPR, desperate to revive her. After what felt like an eternity, Sara finally coughed and gasped for air, slowly regaining consciousness.The party-goers gathered around, while Neel and Leslie's expressions turned from rejoicing to nervous.Relief washed over Yohan. He picked Sara up in his arms and swiftly carried her away from the crowd.Leslie
