Becky's POVAlejandro took steps closer to me, and then touched my chin."Where do you plan on going after all these ends?" He questioned.I knew he was asking about this because we were both so close. So close to getting Clark, but I wasn't sure I wanted to answer that question.I cleared my throat loudly, taking my gaze away from him."I have no idea." I replied.How could I tell him I would leave New York and go find a life somewhere far from here so I can escape my past."You can come stay here. Or maybe visit a lot. I and Theresa would love to have you anytime." He said as I tried taking steps away from him.I was stunned, but didn't let it be so visible. I wanted to smile, but then I held it back and prevented myself from doing that."I'll think about it." I replied."Can I see the garden?" I questioned, trying to put an end to the discussion.My phone began ringing and I immediately picked it out from my bag."Excuse me." I said before I picked up the call and stepped away."Cl
Sarah:As I walked down the passageway leading outside the hospital, I couldn't help but think. Dad was in a coma, and the doctor had said it might take years for him to open up his eyes.He called it stress, but this was fucking not stress.The tears that brimmed my eyes, I let it go, clutching my bag around my chest. Mom must know something about his condition, something that no one is telling me about.As I walked out of the hospital, I thought of Becky as well. Maybe she knows something too. After all, she was always mom's favourite."Take me home." I instructed the chauffeur.Soon the car started moving. I was lost in my own thoughts. More like drowned in them. The thought of my dad, and the thought that I would never get to see him awake in years.What really happened? How on earth did he collapse? Why is nobody saying anything to me?I needed to know all of this from Becky because I knew mom would never say a word to me. I should use this as an excuse to meet up with my sister
Becky:"Clark, please. Give me time, okay, I'm handling it." I begged, taking steps backwards and away from me, while he took his even closer to me.I was scared, really really scared and I wished Alejandro was here to protect me. I kept taking steps backwards till I had nowhere else to go.I was stuck, stuck to the wall. Clark halted, trapping me in between.My body shivered in fright when he leaned closer to me. He touched my shoulder, and then brought his head down to my neck inhaling my scent."You smell even nice." He whispered."Clark, this isn't the deal. Please." I begged."Why not wifey?" He replied.I dreaded that word, 'Wifey' I had not heard it for a while now. "You promised you wouldn't touch me, please Clark, please." I begged repeatedly, but he wouldn't listen. When he raised his hands trying to pull down my clothes from my shoulder, I whimpered in a low voice."I'm begging you. What do I have to do to make you stop?" He had a malicious grin plastered on his face, an
Hayden's POVI shouldn't lie to Sarah, but I can help it. I wasn't ready to tell it all to her, and if she finds out who I truly am, or what it is that I truly want from her, then she would leave.She might be hurt, especially for trusting me, but I wasn't ready to lose her as well.I don't know what to say to Sarah, I absolutely have no idea what to say."Hayden." She called my name softly, touching my hands to bring me back to reality."Yes, you can trust me with all that you have, Sarah." I ended up replying to her questions. I didn't smile, and I didn't want to let out a smile.I rose up on my feet,"Are you going somewhere?" Sarah questioned as I made a turn backwards."Yes, I just need to make a quick call, and take a look at something." I replied.When she nodded, I walked towards the wardrobe and picked out a night robe. Once I was done getting dressed, I picked up my phone from the table and walked out of the room closing the door behind me.Rubbing my hair to stop myself fro
Becky:Just like Clark had instructed, I waited in the room and in an hour time, he was back. I had been thinking, thinking about what I needed to do.The moment he walked in, I rose up on my feet and stepped aside in order to give him space towards the bed."Sit." He ordered me.My eyes were pinned to the floor earlier, but I raised them to stare at him.Like he had instructed, I stepped forward and sat on the bed but it wasn't so close to him."There's a change of plan." He started.I was eager to hear what he wanted to say. My hands were folded together, patiently waiting to hear what I wanted to.."You get me what I want tomorrow, and if you're can't, then it'll all be over and I'll be forced to make another decision." He said."You said there's a change of plan, what do you mean?" I questioned, a bit disappointed that he had not said anything about it."That's no concern of yours Becky. Just do as I say before I have a change of mind. I think something better is gonna happen ins
Becky:I woke up the next morning with arms wrapped around my body. I immediately rushed out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom.I didn't care if Clark was awake or not, or if he would get mad at me for leaving, but I needed to get the hell out of this room.Clark would have touched me last night, but I was hell bent on him not laying even a finger on me. He had called it a prank, but it still scared the hell out of me.He was a sex freak. I couldn't even stay with him for another second."Are you off somewhere? This early?" Clark questioned, stretching his body to the fullest when he woke up."I need to leave now, Clark. If you really want me to get everything prepared before the day runs out, then I must leave now." I replied.He nodded his head, standing behind me. Then, he wrapped his arms around my waist. I didn't move because I knew he would do nothing to me."Are you running away from me?" He questioned.I scoffed aloud, "What does it look like I'm doing? Of course Cla
Becky:Finally, I was seeing the Lane's company again. How long has it been? As I walked towards the inside, people stared at me but I didn't care. I was more focused on what I wanted to do, and so I ignored their gazes.I took the elevator heading straight for Sarah's office. I had a lot to say to her, and warn her about. I didn't even know how I would start. Can I stare at my sister in the face? After everything I've done to her?As the elevator came to a halt, I took in a very hard, long deep breath.You can do this Becky. Don't blame her if she still hates you. I told myself as I stepped out of the elevator."Who are you here to see ma'am?" Stacey asked.It's been a long time since I laid my eyes on her. She must hate me for being a proud bitch in the past."Hi Stacey" I replied.She remained quiet, adjusting her glasses properly as she stared at me. Oh jeez, the hate is really still there. I literally always embarrassed her in the past and always blamed her whenever anything went
Sarah:I kept staring at Becky. She's changed so much. Unlike the glow I used to see in the past, there was nothing like it anymore. "Talk. What do you need my help for." I said, folding my hands underneath my breast as I stared at her.She remained silent for a bit."What's happening?" I asked again, with no idea why the hell I was so harsh with Becky. It wasn't my intention to be so harsh on her, but seeing her face, it made me recall that she was the reason behind my pain.She was the beginning of it all, and I suddenly didn't know if I could forgive her yet. I heaved deeply, silently telling myself to be a bit lenient on her."Sarah… big sis." She called, and I suddenly blinked twice.Those words, it's been so long I heard them. Becky would always call me big sis whenever she wanted something from me, or wanted me to do something for her."Don't call me that, Becky, and just go straight to the point." I replied. I had wanted to say otherwise. I had wanted to hug her tight a secon
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
