SarahWhile on the yacht and watching the beautiful sky, I heard Hayden's voice from behind making me turn to stare at him.I took off my sunglasses, and smiled at him, but as usual, Hayden isn't the kind of man that returns his smile."What are you doing out here?" He asked.I heaved, inhaling the sweet flowery air. "Came to watch the sky and the sea." And reply.2 days ago, I decided to take a break away from New York City and come to Paris. Hayden had agreed in one instant.Hayden also has a business meeting here, and so it's more like Killing two birds with a stone. He came closer to me, standing by my left side and watching the sky as well."You think my heart can be as beautiful as it.?" I questioned, avoiding his eyes. I was expecting a rude or annoying answer, but he surprised me instead."You have a beautiful heart Sarah, and it's just enough for you." He said, avoiding my eyes as well.I suddenly cocked my head to stare at him in surprise, wondering if he actually woke up a
Sarah…Before Hayden's meeting with one of his business partner would commence, Hayden took my hands and we both walked into the plane.On the air, it was such a lovely sight to behold even though I had l no idea the reason why he was doing all of what he was doing.I had thought this was the surprise; Coming out to have so much fun and forget my past even for a little bit.If that was it, then it was definitely working.Most times, I could not stop staring hard at Hayden. Just a glance at his eyes, I saw fear in them.About 3 hours later, the plane landed back to the exact spot we had borded it, and we both stepped down. It was hard figuring out if Hayden was doing all of these because he truly meant it, or because of the public and our contract."We'll go have some refreshments, and our guests will arrive Sarah." Hayden informed, making me halt."Earlier…. I thought that was the surprise." I blurted loudly.He scoffed, halting as well and turning back to stare at me."Really? That w
Becky..The very moment I came back to my senses, I immediately rose up on my feet, squeezing the pieces of paper in my palm.There was only one thing I thought of doing, and definitely was going to do. In a haste, I exited the restroom and came back to the hall room.My eyes had turned bloody red from the round pretty soul they were earlier. The piece of paper was still crumbling in my palm and each time I looked around to search for the man who had brought them, I tightened them in my palm more.When it felt like an impossible mission to find him, I ran up to Clark.He caught me in his arms, hugging me tight as I could only cry in his arms."Clark…." "What is it baby?" He answered, with a worried look attached on his face. He raised my chin up with his fingers, staring at me."Clark…" I called again, allowing my tears to escape my eyes freely. "There's trouble. Let's talk in private, Clark."He immediately held my hand and walked me away. We both got into a private room.Clark loc
BeckyThe loud, painful sound of my father's palm resounded on my face, turning my cheek as white as snow. My father had slapped me.My face was forcefully cocked towards the left side as a tear rolled down my cheek."Father!" I called, "Shut the hell up Becky, shut it!" He yelled back at me.I knew the reason for his rage, but I decided to play ignorant and deny every single allegations."What happened? I decided to trust you once again, and this is how you pay me? We had a simple deal to close Becky and yet you chose that bastard of a man over your own family?" I remained silent, mostly because my words were stuck in my throat.I could see the anger in his eyes. The anger that made him almost want to strangle me."I'm sorry father. It wasn't intentional." I replied, hoping he would believe me."Intentional? Do you still take me for a fool Becky? I can see through your lies because you're my daughter."He still does not have a way of proving it, so I thought I still had a chance in
Sarah…Because of me, Hayden had to forfeit everything and head back to New York. Throughout the ride, I wasn't in my right state of mind as the only person I could think of was my father. I had read about his condition on the news, and it wasn't something that needed to be joked with. Even though I hated him for abandoning me and casting me aside, I was still immensely worried.My legs and hands kept shaking repeatedly. I couldn't control it. Hayden came closer to me and held my shaky hands, but that wasn't enough to keep me calm."He'll be fine Sarah, trust me." He assured me, but then I shook my head in disapproval."You don't understand Hayden…. I really don't wanna…" He pulled me into a tight embrace even before I could complete my statement, making me cry even more on his shoulders.Very soon, we were back to New York. I rushed out of the plane and headed straight for the car that had come to pick us up.A 3 hour journey and we were standing right in front of the hospital my f
"Hayden's POV"Making a stop at my favorite drinking spot with Ray, I got down from my car and walked in. I had earlier called Ray that I needed to see him. I took a seat in the usual position which had always been kept for Ray and I, and brought out my phone.I was more in a state of confusion like no other before. My heart had not stopped thumping hard and even harder since I laid my eyes on him. Even while I was watching Sarah sob close to him, I could feel something changing.There were unexplainable feelings surging through my entire body. Shouldn't I hate him with so much passion? But then why was there a little trace of pity in my eyes. What emotions had spurred out from me.I tightened my hands into fist at the thought of it. I could have broken the glass right in front of me, but Ray rushed towards me and collected it before I would do something stupid."Hey…. What's wrong?" He questioned, staring at me.The last time he had seen me this way was the very day that I had gone
Earlier…. (Clark)"How long can you keep hiding? One way or the other, they'll find you." I said to Ethan who was still on his knees with purplish eyeballs.I had two more of my guards behind me, but armed with guns.He jammed his palm together, so much dear evident in his eyes."Please, we can sort this out sir. I did everything you asked of me. Even with your dirty work, and now that you don't need me anymore, you wanna get rid of me?""That's the trick Ethan. You know too much to stay alive." I replied coldly without any emotions in my eyes."No! I'll leave. Just send me out of the country, and I'll never return again. I'll die with your secrets sir." He pleaded again, but honestly, I wasn't ready to take chances yet.I wasn't ready to give Sarah and Hayden the slightest chance of digging back into my dirts and past.I sighed heavily like I was contemplating on what he had just suggested.Then I turned to my guards and whispered a few words into their ears."I hope you never get th
SarahThe room now fully calm, silent and empty except with only me and Mr Rodriguez still left behind, I turned back to face him.I had been staring at the sky from the window earlier, with a lot on my mind as well. I still believe I have so much to settle, so much to do, and so many wrongs to put right back into place."Mr Rodriguez." I called his name, folding my arms underneath my breast like a business woman, like the Sarah Lane he knew some months back."Thank you so much for your help. I couldn't have done it if it weren't for you. I know this could mean danger to your legal career just like I said earlier, but I'll ensure nothing wrong happens in the future."He nodded his head."I have trust in you Sarah."Feeling so emotional, I walked towards him and gave him a warm embrace."Thank you so much" I whispered as he kept tapping my back.Earlier….After the call ended, I stood still at the upper floor waiting for Mr Rodriguez's arrival. There was just one thing I needed from hi
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
