"What??" I asked, wondering what he meant by that, or if he knew what I did back in the hotel."Nothing, I know absolutely nothing." I replied, but my worst mistake was the fact that I didn't look shock when I heard Hayden Smith's name."You're lying to me Becky."I could feel his heavy eyes on me as he spoke,"I have my men watching your every movement, and so it's useless lying to me." In a matter of seconds, he yanked my hair, pulling me back and grabbing my throat."Clark… please stop it." I cried, praying silently that he wouldn't strangle me to death. Fear was an entity in my eyes, and I knew Clark wasn't going to let me go that easily, at least not this time."Listen to me Becky." I heard his voice when he leaned closer to me, our eyes just an inch apart from each other, and his hot breath feeling my tensed breath as wellI nodded immediately because I was slowly becoming weak with the intensity of his grip on my neck.He sneered, "Don't you ever, I mean ever do anything stupi
Our eyes didn't stop staring at each other when he broke the kiss. Not only I was stunned, but even I could see the shocked look on his face.I guess he reacted without even realizing it, and maybe it was because he saw me in a frightened state. Our hands were still together, and we both ignore the gasps as well as the murmurs coming out from the mouth of those watching us.I fluttered my brows, and let out a smile which I did regret giving because that brought back his attention. I wished we could remain that way for eternity, and that those eyes he had used to look out me would never vanish.I love the racing of my heartbeat, it gave me joy to feel that little butterfly happily playing around my stomach. When I turned to face the press, I was no longer afraid. I no longer had that fear in my eyes and I could feel my legs so stern and rooted firmly to the ground.Once Hayden and I were done with the press, we both turned to walk into the company. There were many reporters who wanted
Sarah's POV."Have a seat Mr Genaro." Hayden said, standing up and walking towards me. I was fuming, annoyed that of all the surprises he had in the world for me, it just had to be bringing Clark right in front of me."What is the meaning of this Hayden?" I questioned, when we were both standing outside. He hushed me, looking back again at the door to his office."I promise I wouldn't do anything without your permission right Sarah? But, if you knew Clark was coming over, then you wouldn't have the courage to face him." Hayden said.Though he was right, but that still wasn't enough explanation to me."Your revenge starts here Sarah. The earlier you learn to look back at your ex even after the past, then the better for you and I. Now, the Genaro company are up to something, and I can feel it. This might just be the only chance you got." Hayden assured.I had to take in a deep breath when I was done. I shouldn't be scared, afterall Clark wouldn't dare to hurt me. Even though he acts all
Hayden's POV"Now the second stage of your plan is finally drawing closer, congratulations man." Ray said to me. I didn't look up at him or acknowledge his words, but I was indeed quite happy with the achievement I've made so far. I was getting closer to what I wanted, and that was the most important thing."But Hayden, don't you think you'll forever be hurting that lady if you do this?" Ray asked.His question caught my attention, and made me look up at him,"What do you mean Ray? You know how hard I've worked to come to this stage" He adjusted properly on his seat,"I know man, but don't you think with the trust she has for you, you'll be hitting her hard when the truth comes out, or when you no longer have use for her?"I sighed, caring less for what he was saying."That's the purpose of a contract Ray. She's only needed till a certain stage, and besides she becomes a nobody to me the moment I help her with what she wants""But..." Ray wanted to speak further, but I stopped him.
Becky's POV.. A resounding slap landed on my face, and I fell down on my knees the next second. My face turned as white as snow, and my tears dampened the corner of my eyes. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't disown you and blacklist your name from the family's registrar? Tell me once good reason why I shouldn't seize every property under your name?" My father asked.Tears rolled down my eyes, "I'm sorry father, please forgive me. It was a stupid mistake, and I should never have trusted them. I really thought it would help our company grow higher."My mother who was behind him also had tears in her eyes. Just like me, she was pleading with my father to spare me this once. "What the hell were you thinking Becky? Just a week with the company under your watch and you got duped of 10 billion dollars." My father yelled. He took down his glasses, pacing to and fro. As I watched him, I was more worried about his health than what he was saying. "Take it easy honey, you might get
Sarah's POVI stood at another corner, staring at nowhere in particular. I had taken another glass of wine when I left mine back on my table.I despise myself for not retaliating to those annoying words of Clark, but again I felt it wasn't necessary to waste my saliva on him.Still looking around, my eyes caught Hayden, and Mr Hidalgo still in a conversation, and I could tell Hayden was getting bored of his endless praises.He had used those lips of his in sweet talking my father into favouring him, and now that my father's company was facing some difficulties, he wanted to divert to somewhere else.Just when I wanted to divert my gaze to somewhere else, I saw a lady walk up to Hayden."Natasha." That's her name.The arrogant daughter of Mr Hidalgo. They're practically the same people- green snakes.My blood was boiling when I saw her smile in front of Hayden, and I could feel my head spinning as well.I tried to comport myself not to act so foolish because I had no right to tell Hayd
Becky's POV"How did it go Becky? Did you find the young lady?" Clark asked me the moment he got home. He was drunk, and nearly wasted.My eyes were swollen because I had been crying earlier, as well as making some stupid calls Clark wanted me to."Not yet, but I'm close to finding her." I replied, looking away from him because I knew my reply would surely get him angry."What can you do Becky, I gave you a simple job and yet you're slacking? Get her before the wedding commences tomorrow." He instructed.Just as he wanted to walk away, I stopped him."What about the one who scammed me, aren't you worried about that as well?" I asked.Again, Clark turned to face my direction."What does that have to do with me Becky?"I was scared to talk back, but then I couldn't hold back the anger I was feeling inside me."You were practically the one who made me do it, Clark. What are you trying to do, ruin my fathers company? We need to find him, and have the bastard pay for what he did. I listene
The rays of the sun penetrated through my window which made me open my eyes immediately.I was covered with a duvet, and Kira was in the room as well standing beside the window."Rise and shine Mrs Sarah, today is your wedding day." Kira chanted happily.My head was hurting so bad, and the bright light in the room was quite disturbing. I even forget today was the day I would be getting married. Married and finally becoming Mrs Sarah Smith. I would no longer bear the Lane's name for the time being.Just then, something hit me hard, so hard that it made me wince in pain as I held my head."Are you alright?" Kira asked worriedly."What happened last night? Who brought me in, Kira?" I asked, slightly recalling what happened yesterday."Mr Hayden brought you in yesterday. You were drunk last night." Kira replied.I recalled just one thing, and that was Hayden lifting me up into his arms, after that, I seem to can't remember whatever happened last night.When I raised the duvet, I saw myse
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
