Hayden:I fired a bullet in the air causing attention in the warehouse. I waited at a corner, hoping as many of them would come out very soon.There were only three that came out. I fired at one while the rest were taken care of by the men all waiting in their respective position.I walked in, hoping I would see more of them, but I didn't. The lights were really dim, but I was able to locate Alejandro first. He was on the floor. I squatted to his level and tapped his shoulders."You did great." I said.I looked forward and saw Ray tied on an armchair and rushed to him. "Hey buddy, I'm here." He was weak, and he couldn't utter a word as well. I circled his arms around my shoulders and helped him stand up on his feet."Where's Sarah?" I questioned."She's gone." He replied sharply."Gone? To where?" "I don't know, but he took her. There's trouble because Clark knows everything about you. He knows every fucking thing about the past, and Sarah's gonna do find out too."I came to a halt
Sarah:"Prepare for surgery immediately, we have a VIP." A doctor said while Hayden was being carried into the surgery room. I was made to stay behind. My hands were covered with his blood.I couldn't help it so I fell on the floor and began crying. How did all of this happen in just one day? So much happened that I couldn't really place my head where and how it all happened.Clark was dead. I saw it with my own eyes, and I was confident he wouldn't come back. The life I had been praying against was happening.I had no idea where Becky, Alejandro, Ray and his daughter were. Becky. I had not seen her since I was nabbed. What happened to Becky.I suddenly heard the loud voice of the doctor which jerked me back to reality. I walked towards the glass and saw them struggling to bring Hayden back to life.It suddenly made me remember someone in the past. Tears rolled down my eyes. Hayden has gone through so much, but I still couldn't believe he did that to me. His actions back there was eno
Sarah:The sun rays penetrated through my window disturbing my sleep. I woke up and looked around the room."It was just a dream." I told myself, holding my forehead. I wouldn't cry. I need to stay strong for my little angel. I stared down at my stomach and took a deep breath in.I couldn't control my tears. Why did I start thinking about about this early morning. I continued breathing in and out, trying to control myself from crying."You choose this, Sarah. You made this decision and it was best for you."A knock was rasped on the door. "Come in." I said, cleaning my tears in a hurry. He wouldn't be happy seeing me in tears again and I couldn't let him get worried because of my endless tears.He opened the door knob and walked in."Good morning Sarah. How are you doing?" He said coming closer to him. I stared at him and let out a smile. I was alive today, all thanks to him.*****One week Ago.Some hours later, I woke up to see a nurse close to me. She was busy checking my drip. "Yo
Sarah:Mason took me to his mansion.We got down from his car and he escorted me into the house. "Let's get you cleaned up first." He said.There was a maid. I was handed to her and she took me in after Mason had ordered her to be careful.I walked in, and sat down quietly on the bed until she came out of the bathroom. "It's ready ma, please let's go in." I rose up on my feet and followed her. I allowed my legs to do the walking, but my mind was occupied with something else. I stared at the bathtub, and walked towards it.I got into the bathtub, and waited for her to scrub my body. The fragrance, it was really familiar. When I finally recognized it, tears fell from my eyes.It was the same fragrance I used the first day I got to Hayden's mansion after I had signed the contract. I suddenly recalled the contract and more tears fall from my eyes. The fragrance made me remember the past I was trying so hard to forget. "That's enough." I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't want to be around
Hayden's POVNo one knows Ray better than I do, and when he starts getting nervous, it's hard for him to tell a lie. He clutches his hands, and finds it hard to breathe properly.The first time he had told her Sarah was okay, I saw some of these signs but I decided to ignore it, but I recalled something.I recalled hearing Sarah's voice while I was asleep, and it felt like she was gonna leave me for good."Tell me the real truth Ray, where's Sarah?" I questioned. I stared at him. His silence was already killing me, and I was dying to find out what was happening. The only thing I remembered was getting shot and passing out, and I also remembered Clark's death."Raymond." I called his name again, and he walked closer to me."Hey, man I don't know how you're gonna take this, but Sarah's gone. I don't know how she left or when she left, but I hurried over to the hospital once I found out you were here." I nodded my head."Sarah's fucking gone, and no one has any idea where she is? Where's
Sarah:Mason had refused to go out today. He still wanted to keep an eye on me since he wasn't sure if I would do anything stupid or not. I begged him you go but he disagreed."Are you gonna keep watching after me like a baby? It's been more than a week now." I begged, but he still wouldn't stop following me.At this point, I needed to be alone."You decide to take some fresh air outside and you want me to trust you aren't going to do something to yourself? Hell no Sarah.".I rolled my eyes at him. "I'll be fine, Mason, and I promise I'm not gonna do anything stupid to myself, you have my words."He suddenly halted. "You sure?"I was glad when he asked that question. It was as if he could read my mind that I needed time alone to myself. To yell at myself and curse myself again."What about Hayden?" I questioned before he could utter another word."I got news he's been discharged from the hospital. Sarah." He said and walked closer to me, while I placed my hands on my chest."What do y
Hayden:"We've searched almost everywhere, but there's still no sign of any of them. Becky, Karen, or even Sarah." Ray told me. I was standing close to my window with my hands behind my back.Everything looked really suspicious and I could tell something was wrong."Sarah can't hide that far, nor can she be so good at hiding. It seems someone is helping her out.""You think?""I know so, Ray.""Each time we are getting so close, there is one story or the other.""Don't search again. You can carry on the search for Becky and Karen, I'll find Sarah myself." I replied. I felt Ray's hands on my shoulders and I turned to face him."Don't strain yourself too much, I'm sure she will be back on her own if you can't find her." I nodded my head. "I'll find her Ray, no matter what."A knock was rasped on my door. "Come in." I ordered and it was open afterwards. One of my private investigators walked in."Good day." He greeted me and I offered him a seat. Ray stood close to me."Any news yet?"H
Hayden:I stayed in an hotel hoping that next day I would really be able to see Sarah. At night before I would go to bed, I received a call from Ray."How are things over there?" "Not so bad. Still haven't met Sarah yet.""Don't lose hope okay, you'll see her soon. I think Karen's has been found. She's in the United Kingdom.""What? How the hell….""I'm as surprised as you are, Hayden. Maybe that was Clark's hiding place in the past.""You should also try and look for Becky there too. Maybe we might be lucky again. Keep it a secret from Alejandro for now, we don't want him raising his hopes high after what he's been through loosing her.""Alright. Take care man." Ray said. After replying, I ended the call and sat on the bed. I pulled a pillow closer to myself and rested my head on it, thinking back on when I saved Sarah. What the hell did Clark tell her? Was it really everything. I had been stupid in the past and all I wanted was revenge, I couldn't blame myself for that, but I 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
