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: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
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
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
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
“Are you going to sign it or not?" I could feel his heavy eyes on me as he spoke, my fingers grip the pen I was holding as my eyes fell on the contract scanning it for the millionth time. ”This is absolutely crazy, you know?" The words escaped my mouth before I could even think it over, and my fingers shook with hesitation. I expected him to snap at me again but he just shrugged his shoulders. “It is...” “Why me?... I have literally nothing to offer you wouldn't it be better if you give this to another woman?" There was silence for a moment then in his usual calm,monotone voice he said. ”It's exactly because you have nothing to lose that makes you perfect for this job.“ He was right, I thought as I finally placed the pen on the contract and in a few moments my signature was looking back at me. What had I done?I had just made a deal with a monster. If someone had told me over a month ago that I would be in this situation I would have laughed in their face but that was becaus
Ma'm the CEO wants to see you," I carried my eyes away from my laptop, to my secretary as I cooked up my left eyebrow. "My father wants to see me?" she nodded. "Don't worry, tell him I'll be there in about five minutes. I have a meeting right now." "Actually he told me to cancel your meeting, and that you have to come and see him right this minute" I wondered what was so urgent that my father would even have my secretary cancel my meeting. I guess there was only one way to find out. I got up and then made a beeline to my father's office and all along the way I could hear whispers from the cubicles of the officers that I passed by and how their eyes were on me. I had expected them to talk about my wedding that had been called off, but I didn't understand why they were doing it so intensely. Finally when I walked to the office I saw that my mother was also there. I went to both of them and saw that their eyes had become cold. Those were not the eyes that my parents often used to lo
Sarah's POV As I was walking on the road a car zoomed past me splashing puddle water on my body, then I rushed in after the car yelling loudly and pouring curses on the driver. Just then I heard the horn of a car and my head snapped behind me. The lights of the car were getting closer and the horn was about to make my ears explode but my legs were not moving a single inch at all. What was the point? Suddenly the blinding light turned off like a switch that had flicked, for a moment my whole body was numb then I could suddenly feel everything. The pain gript my entire being when my eyelid peeled open, the metallic taste of blood was in my mouth and I could not even twitch a finger. The driver that had hit me only parked for a few seconds, then suddenly the door was flung open but then nobody stepped out. Suddenly the door slams shut again and the driver just zoomed past me. When the hit and run driver abandoned me to my fate, I didn't even curse him... There was no point in
