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
Sarah:Hayden wrapped his arms around me. "You don't have to feel guilty, it's all in the past. I arrived late, and I have a blame in whatever happened to you. I'm sorry."I continued crying. He made me turn around and hugged me. I still didn't know if I could live with it. I still recall every bit of the way he savoured my body and made me feel so dirty. I buried my face on Hayden's chest, hoping I would be able to forget it entirely when everything returns back to normal.Once I was done crying, Hayden handed me a handkerchief. I collected it and used it on my wet face. "I'm so sorry if I left that day. I shouldn't have left you in that condition, Hayden.""You were hurt, I get it okay. I was never mad at you. Everything that mattered the moment I found out you were gone was to get you back at all cost."I forced a smile and hugged him"I don't know what to say."He rubbed my hair gently. "Just say you forgive me, that would mean everything to me once you forgive me from the bottom
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
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
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 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
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
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
