Sarah:3 weeks later.A loud scream was torn from my mouth, and I flung my eyes open immediately. It's been three weeks since it all happened. Everyday, I still see Clark in my dream, and this time around, he tortures me, abuses me, and kills Hayden."What's wrong?" I heard Hayden's voice next to me."Another dream?" He questioned and I just nodded my head in response.Everything had been hard, and every damn day harder. The thoughts of what Clark did to me, what he made me pass through were still fresh in my head. I see it every single day whenever I close my eyes.I know Clark's still out there, alive and healthy. I know coming back for us all but Hayden says that's not gonna happen.After the incident, there was a lot we all found out about Clark. The reason before all of his endless killing and his psychopathic nature.It wasn't Becky who had killed Sandra some years ago, it was Clark and it was all planned to make it look like it was Becky.I found out all of dad's doing in the p
Becky:The creaking sound of my door woke me up. I had been half asleep the entire time.Alejandro stepped in, holding a glass of milk in his hands."You're awake?" He questioned, putting on the lights. I groaned, sitting upright on the bed. It's been three weeks since everything happened. Three dreadful weeks for me, but throughout this period, Alejandro was there for me.I was discharged from the hospital about a week ago, but I still haven't recovered from the pain of losing another baby. Mentally, I don't think I'll ever be okay. Each day I spend with Alejandro is filled with pain.I don't want him seeing my weak self. He stays with me all the time. Whenever I'm alone, all I think about is taking my life. I saw no reason to live anymore.What else could I ever want. Mom is in prison. It breaks my heart to know all what she did in the past. No wonder she hated Sarah to her bones, and never saw Sarah as a daughter.I had this feeling dad knew about all of it as well.I wasn't his da
Hayden: For the second time, a punch was heavily landed on the bastard's face by me. He spat out blood as he fell on the floor. I had promised to bring out blood from him, but that wasn't still enough.Ray held me back, but I kept struggling to go meet the bastard who was still laughing and getting furious even more."That's enough, Hayden." If rage could kill, then this fucking bastard would have been dead the very moment I had received that call.He was taken back to his cell while Ray and I took our seats."Take it easy Mr Smith, we're really trying our best to ensure that your wife stays safe.""Thank you." I replied, with Ray massaging the hand I had used to punch the fool."What about the body?" Ray questioned."Ohhh, please follow me. We found a body in the river tonight, but the bad news is this."He opened the door where the corpse was and we stepped in wondering what the bed news could have been.A white cover was taken off from the body."Oh, shit. Gross." Ray yelled, nea
Becky:I opened my eyes slowly, looking around. Alejandro was in, and he was staring at me as he sat on a couch close to the window."How long have you been here?" I asked, seeing the tired look on his face. His eyes were so heavy that even from the far distance where I was, I could see it."Let's say 20 minutes."A fucking lie.I knew he was lying. His face shows it all. I could tell by it that he had been here the entire night. He didn't sleep because he was watching me the entire night, and this has been going on for days now. No! Since the very first day I was discharged from the hospital.How long was he going to keep doing this? He might break down one day because of me."Alejandro." I called softly, sitting upright on the bed."Yes." He replied, but I didn't respond immediately. I kept staring at him and wondering why he was doing all of this. I wasn't his wife, but it was really obvious he had feelings for me.Unfortunately, I can't give love another chance. When I was in love
Sarah:We were all together, laughing and talking about so many things. Becky and I were mostly talking to each other about how Hayden and Alejandro tried hard taking care of us.Most times, we make it even funnier by talking about their hard times during this period, and other times we make it emotional by talking about the emotional times or the sad times.Hayden and Alejandro would listen and chuckle at every word we said.I never wished for more.A complete family, I got it even though none of our parents were here.We were all having the best of time here, and since 3 weeks the day of the incident, I've never felt this happy before.Seeing Becky happy with Alejandro, makes me even happier. I had thought she would find it hard to love again since the whole issue about Clark, but I guess I was wrong. The smile on her face this time around, she never had it around Clark.There was a whole new Becky in there, and I could see it.I stared at Alejandro.The look in his eyes tells and s
Sarah:As soon as we got home, Hayden held my waist tight and slammed his lips against mine."Not here for goodness sake anyone could…" Before I could complete my statement, Kira came out from the room and I immediately slapped Hayden's hands away from my body. He gave him a boring look while standing still at his spot."I…I should.. I'll head back." She turned and walked back into the room before I could say a word to her. I turned and fixed my gaze at Hayden."Are you happy?""Not yet." He replied and immediately swept me off my feet into his arms."Hayden… hey… put me down Hayden." I kept yelling as he walked up the staircase. He unlocked the door and walked in with me still on his shoulders. He placed me on the bed and immediately pulled off his jean jacket."You weigh a lot."The smile on my face immediately faded as he teased me."Are you trying to say I'm fat?""Are you?" He whispered back to me." Heyyyy." As I raised my hand to hit his chest, he held it and made me lay on the
Sarah:Hayden and I got ready to go to the station so I would have a word with the man who had tried to kill me, and of course, I needed to see Clark's corpse for myself. I wore a black gown and long matching heels.We got to the car and Hayden drove out immediately. Throughout the ride, I had a lot going on in my mind. It was still very hard to believe Clark was dead. I wanted to tell Becky about it, but I guess I shouldn't even remind her about Clark. He's gone, and it's for good."Are you ready?" Hayden questioned as his car halted right in front of our destination. I heaved deeply and then nodded my head. He touched my hands and squeezed it in his as a sign of encouragement."If you don't want to then I can…""I do Hayden, I must."I opened the door and stepped down from it.As I looked around, all I could see was Clark's face. I needed to be strong and get over him already. Hayden held my hand and we both walked in. When the DPO saw me, he smiled, and I returned it."Mrs Smith,
Becky:I woke up and snuggled myself around Alejandro. It was nice having him by my side, and I felt warm. He was still asleep. I lifted my head up to stare at his sleeping figure. Only God knows how much I wanted to stay with this manBut, I can't. I was afraid to do so. I was afraid of myself. I was a bad woman and I could hurt him. I've done so many bad things, and I believe Alejandro deserves better.I suddenly recalled the first day we had met in the elevator. The look he gave me. He had smiled at me when it was just his first time knowing me. I guess what was love at first sight. I laid on his chest, cuddling him.I still couldn't stay, but I couldn't make him have a great time before leaving. He raised my head and kissed my forehead while I chuckled. Last night, I had a great time. It was a feeling I never had with Clark- it was special and I'll hold that feeling dear to my heart forever."Good morning." I greeted Alejandro."Morning." He replied.As I rested back on his chest
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
