Hayden:"Where's she? How the hell was she taken without any of you noticing something suspicious?" Sarah yelled. I really didn't know why she was getting so worked up about everything, but I also understood her a little.She turned to face me. "We need to find her." I nodded my head and held her hands. "Sarah, look at me. We'll find her." I assured her, and gave her a warm hug as she kept whimpering.Nurses surrounded us, but when I shook my head, they all walked out, giving Sarah and I some privacy. I touched her chin to make her look at me."Sarah, I know you're trying hard to forget all about the past and everything, but who do you think did this?" I questioned. "I really don't know. Maybe someone who has a grudge on Clark?" I shook my head in negation. "No! It's Clark.""What! That's impossible, he died months ago."Her hands were slowly shaking in mine. I wanted to stop, but Sarah really needed to know so she would be careful. "We didn't see his face, Sarah. His body should hav
Sarah: I couldn't sleep throughout the night. Nightmare, they were flooding in every time I shut my eyes and decide to have a one hour sleep. All I could think of was Clark hurting me, Becky and Hayden.I saw him sliting Hayden's throat without mercy and stabbing Becky with a knife.I didn't wake Hayden, but I couldn't sleep either. Tomorrow was my mom's trial, maybe that was the case for all the nightmare. I walked to the fridge and collected a glass of milk. Even after taking it, sleep was just so impossible.I sat down on the couch and unlocked my phone. First, I thought of calling Becky, but I couldn't. Why not just make her leave the country faster? That was the only way to assure Becky's safety. I knew Clark would definitely target her first because she betrayed him first.I heard footsteps coming downstairs."Sarah?" Hayden called when he saw me seated on the couch with a glass of milk."Hey.' I replied, holding the glass tight.He came towards me and sat close to me on the co
Clark:"Ta…Tania." Julie called, but I remained silent. What was the use of calling her name or apologizing when everything was close to coming to an end.I expected her to yell at me and slap me hard, but instead she walked towards Julie and landed a hard slap across her face."You monster! You betrayal! How on earth could you do this to me? After everything I've done for you, you pay me back my killing my own father? Who put you up to this? Him?" She yelled, turning around to stare at me.Her eyes could kill me. Julie whimpered going on her knees. "Tania, please…. Tania.""How did you find out." I cut her off, walking towards Tania boldly. She scoffed aloud. "You're really crazy huh? Is that what you really should be asking you? You dare betray me because of her? After everything I did for you, and everything I promised to give you. She has nothing! Look at her, how dare your choose her over me." Tania yelled.She raised her hand and slapped me really hard, but I didn't retaliate to
Sarah:Becky's hands didn't stop trembling when she heard Clark's name. "Mom, he has her?"I touched her hands. "I think they're working together. Mom wants the company, and he wants to destroy our lives. He still isn't aware that none of his past was father's fault." I replied."I have to leave. He's definitely gonna come back for me cause I betrayed him first." Becky said, standing up on her feet. She was slowly panicking and I could tell her fear was only increasing."Becky, hey, look at me. First thing tomorrow, you're leaving the country to somewhere he would never find you, okay. I'll talk to Alejandro."She nodded her head, but a tear escaped from her eyes, and I hugged her. "Listen to me, I'm here, and I would never let anyone hurt you okay." I said, and she nodded."Ray's looking into it right now, so be calm." Hayden assured both of us, and just immediately, a call came in from Ray.Hayden put the call on loudspeaker so we could all listen to what was going on."Did you see
Clark:"Clark? How?""How did I save you? Or oh, how am I still alive after everything your daughters did to me?" I yelled, and she immediately went on her knees."Please, forgive Becky. You know Becky really well, she would never betray you if it wasn't for that witch she calls a sister. She doesn't have the guts to do so.""I know, and I don't plan on killing her yet. Sarah's, Hayden, Alejandro, and Ray are all I want right now. As for Becky, I'll find a good use for her once I'm done.""Thank you, oh thank you so much, Clark." She replied, rubbing her palm together with her gaze on the floor.I made her look up at me. "Do you have any idea why I brought you out?" She shook her head in negation, and I chuckled. "In exchange for your precious daughter's life, you're gonna do something really important for me, and I fucking mean it cause if there's any mistake, then I'll have both of you killed." I threatened."I won't betray you. You and I both want the same thing now that my husban
Sarah:Becky and I remained seated, but then I rose up on my feet. "I need to use the restroom urgently, Becky.' I said, but she held my hands down."We aren't supposed to go anywhere, Sarah." She reminded me, but I really needed some time alone. "I'll be back before you know it, don't be scared.""I'm not scared, I'm just worried.""I'll be waiting for you here. If you don't arrive, I'll come look for you." She said to me and I nodded. I walked away and headed straight for the restroom. I leaned on the basin, allowing my tears to escape freely. I was scared of what might happen now. Was Hayden going to be alright, and Ray? Alejandro and his daughter.How long was Clark going to keep doing? His grudge was against my family, and not Hayden, Alejandro or Ray. Now his little daughter has been added. Hearing his little daughter was involved in all of this shit was making me feel worse, but I was trying to be strong.How on earth can I leave knowing fully well that they're all in danger. I
Sarah:Hours later:I woke up to the rotten smell of sewage. My vision wasn't that clear and I was still weak from the effects of what I was forced to perceive earlier."Hayden." I called, but then I heard voices. They were all laughing."Sarah." I heard another voice. It sounded like Ray. I looked towards the direction even though I was weak to find Ray seated on an armchair and chained to it. He had been beaten almost to a pulp and was weak to struggle."Ray." I called, but was pinned down when I tried to go close to him. "Ray." I called again as they all held me. As I continued struggling, I was given a heavy slap which made my eyes spin.I nearly passed out, but thankfully, I didn't. "What do you want from us?" I questioned, but was not given a reply."Where's Becky, Theresa?" I got no reply from any of them, and I couldn't even hear their voices. Just then, Alejandro's was brought in. He was also beaten almost to a point of death like Ray. What the hell do you guys want? Wher
Hayden:After Alejandro and I separated, I suddenly thought of other ideas. If there was one thing that knew about Clark, it was that he was a cunning bastard and could do anything just to have things his way.I needed to first of all set backups that would come for me when I give the signal."Ray, Sarah, Becky, you all hold on tight." I said taking my gun from the wardrobe I kept it. I had also called the detective I know to spare me with as many of his men he could get.This was just enough to bring Clark down. I really needed him to believe I was going to surrender and give him everything he wanted.It was now it never. I needed to get rid of him once and for all so he wouldn't return and tries to harm everyone I love. I was doing this for everyone of them, and even if it's involves risking my life."Mr Clark is still out there. Reopen his case and let all the reporter get hints on him. If he's truly back to New York, then he would be on a low key once he sees this, and he'll also
Hayden"Your wife is awake now." The doctor Informed me and I immediately rushed up on my feet. "You did a great job in there, thank you Mr Hayden." She said, and I nodded. "The babies are fine and healthy too, but she'll be on her feet in a few days time and ready to be discharged.Ray and I started walking towards Sarah's ward, and I stepped in. I met Sarah sitting upright on the bed. I had thought it would take her so long to wake, but it took only a few hours. She's truly a warrior, and I couldn't be more proud of her. I couldn't love her less. I was going to spend the rest of my life making this woman happy.She smiled at me when she saw me."Hayden." She called my name softly."I did it!""Yes baby, you did, and I'm fucking so proud of you right now. Thank you for making me a father. Thank you fir fighting so hard for me and our babies.""You like my surprise?""You knew it was twins all along?" She nodded her head with a smile and I chuckled. "I could never ask for more. Than
The hall was magnificent. I walked majestically with Becky holding my gown and my hand, and every single step made the smile on my face grow wider. My face was covered with a vast, but I could still see Hayden standing right in front of the priest, and patiently waiting for me. I took my steps slowly, steadily. I shouldn't make him wait, but I wanted to just a little.Finally, I was standing right in front of him. In front of the man who would become mine in a few minutes time.I love seeing him smile. I was nervous on this day, and so was he.Our companies would merge after this marriage. It was for the best, and it was for the future. HAYDEN: I vow to love you faithfully, forsaking all others. I promise to love, to trust, and respect you. To comfort you in times of need, and keep you safe. All that I have is now yours. To never hurt you, to call you mine, and stay right beside you in times of trouble. I promise to give you my hands and my heart for as long as we both shall live, Sa
Sarah:Hayden and I heard a loud scream. I instantly knew it was Becky and since we were still standing outside, I twisted the knob and opened the door only to meet Alejandro trying his best to calm her down."What happened?"."You're lying! Tell me it's a fucking big lie! Tell me!" Becky repeatedly kept yelling and Alejandro wouldn't listen to me. Two nurses rushed in.I was worried sick and scared at the same time. Something definitely must have happened for Becky to have acted this way.About 5 minutes more of struggling, she slowly fell asleep after she was given sedatives, and it made me calm a bit. Alejandro refused to take an inch away from her."Tell me what happened to Becky." I demanded from him. His face was covered in tears already. I touched his shoulders."I told her the truth. I shouldn't have but I just thought she deserves to know. I thought it was the right time. Fuck!" He yelled."Calm down and talk to me.""Your mother, she's dead." He said.I felt my heart race wh
SARAH:Hayden and I were still in bed. "Aren't you going to the company?" I questioned him, but he just hummed, and turned around. I rubbed my eyes. "Hayden, don't be a lazy ass." "I need to be at the company now." I tried to stand on my feet, but Hayden pinned me to the bed again. I had only wanted him to look at me and stop closing his eyes."Stay with me today." He said, holding my waist so tight. I couldn't move even and inch forward. "Let go, Hayden, I got to go to work." I yelled, but he still wouldn't let go of me. Once I stop struggling, he grip around my waist loosened, and I heaved deeply turning around to face him."You wanna stare at my face all day?""I want you to be healthy Sarah, for our baby, and for me. You've been working too hard since you returned.""The company needs me, Hayden.""And so do I. The baby needs to stay healthy too.""Are you more worried about the baby?""Both." He replied and I chuckled.I suddenly stared at the ring on my finger. "You said you
A Few Days LaterSarah:"Do have a seat please." I said, outstretching my hand and pointing it towards one of the seats right in front of my table."You're welcome Mr Steven. How may I help you?"I made an adjustment on my seat and folded my hands on my desk while I watched him clear his throat staring at me. I had it in mind what he wanted, and I wasn't going to easily agree."You've changed so much over the years, Sarah Lane." He said.I guess he knew a lot about my father's dirty past, and he was trying to use it against me, or make me feel scared. He's also a CEO, and my father's rival. I bit my lower lips, and tightened my toes in my heels to feel a little pain."It's now Sarah Smith if you don't mind."He nodded his head in agreement. "Great.""I don't have all day to waste here. If you don't mind, can you state your reason for being here?" "For now, my company is facing some real crisis, and I'll be needing your help. With your husband's company, you've been able to stand your
Sarah:I had expected us to head straight for Hayden's house, but it was Ray's home. Once the car came to a halt, we all stepped down.I didn't bother asking any questions because it was all clear to me that Hayden didn't want to stay back at his house after he was discharged from the hospital.I stepped in only to meet Stacey in an apron and getting the dishes set on the table."Stacey?"She rushed towards me and hugged me tight. "It's been so long. I'm glad you're back."Once we broke the hug, I stared at her. "How's the company doing?" She nodded her head affirmatively. "I'm really trying my best." "Thank you so much Stacey. I wonder what I would have done without you. It's glad you're part of the family now.""Alright, can we all get ready to eat now?" Ray groaned as he stared at everyone. We all chuckled and walked to the dining where Stacey had everything all set.Hayden pulled out a seat for me, and I sat down. It wasn't so nice that Becky was absent. As I was about to take a
Becky:"Please." Alejandro whispered. I felt his fingers on my face. "Why don't you just get angry and scold me. You're making me feel so bad. You're making me feel I don't deserve someone like you. I feel so horrible already." I tried to look away from him because I wanted to cry, but his fingers wouldn't let go of my face. Why does he have to be so perfect?"I need some time to think about this, okay?" I said."Take all the time you want, Becky, I'll be waiting, but let's go back home. My daughter misses you so fucking much.""What about Sarah?" I questioned."Ray told me he found her in Spain already.""Spain? What the hell would she be doing there? Is she alright?" "Yes, she's fine. She left, but everything's cool now. We're slowly becoming complete once again. It's you left Becky. We all need you back, and without you, it wouldn't be so perfect."I stared at his eyes. Big cyan eyeballs. "I told you in the past that I need time to stay away from my past…"I had not finished talk
Sarah:I still went back to the mansion the next day. It was just like yesterday. No one wanted to give me an answer. Hayden had insisted on coming along with me, but I refused to let him come. I wanted to speak with Mason alone and make him understand I was grateful for ever knowing someone like him.I was allowed in by one of his maids about 3 hours later when it was clear I wasn't going to leave if I didn't see him. I climbed up the stairs and headed straight for his room. The door was opened so I walked in.It was empty like yesterday. There was no sign of Mason. I walked to the bed and saw another picture of myself on it. I heaved deeply and turned it around when I could feel it was wet."Mason, if you're in here, I need to speak with you. Please." I said, touching the bed spread with my second hand. The room was still silent and I guessed he was going to ignore me like he did yesterday. I rose up on my feet and attempted to walk out of the room, but I heard my name."Sarah." He
Sarah:I patiently waited outside while Hayden came to me. As soon as he saw me, he hugged me tight. "What's wrong?" He questioned, and I sniffled. I was deeply contemplating whether to tell him about Mason or not. How would he feel about it. I didn't know if it would make him feel insecure that I badly wanted to talk to Mason before leaving.I had told him tomorrow, but if Mason doesn't let him speak to him, then I would not leave."I'm fine now." He touched my cheeks and made me look at his face. "You don't look fine, Sarah, what happened?" I sniffled. "I need to see Mason before we leave. I can't leave if I don't see him."He brought his hands down from my cheek, and it made me think my words had an effect on him, or he wasn't happy. "Should I talk to him myself, he just…"I shook my head in negation. "No, Hayden, you don't need to. Just give me some more time, I'll find a way myself."He held my hand and nodded. "Let's go."I followed him into the car. All through the ride, I d
