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
Sarah: The charge's against him were dropped. Though I still couldn't remember him, or the lady he had called Violet, I had this feeling we met in the past as well. Hayden and I stepped out of the station."Take care of him, and make sure he gets released soon." Hayden informed the DPO before coming to meet me in the car. He still didn't understand what was happening, and why I suddenly changed my mind after stepping out from that place.I rubbed the tears on my face clean and sniffled as I watched Hayden come closer to me. "We need to talk, Sarah, what's going on, and what happened in there?"I folded my hands, trying to hold back my tears, but it was impossible. He sighed and hugged me tight. "You can tell me all about it later, let's go home." We had so many plans and places to visit today, but I didn't feel like it anymore. I needed the time and space for myself to think.It hurts me even more that I was involved with Clark, and that I was so blinded to notice the kind of man he
Sarah:"Where's he? Where's my big brother? I miss him. Do you know where my big brother is?" She touched my hand and held it tight. "Please..""Hey, calm down Melissa." Hayden said, but she didn't listen to him. I didn't know what to say. I was starting to regret what happened to Clark. He deserves death, but what about his sister? Will she ever be the same again? How hard would it be when she finds out that Clark's gone for good.I rose up on my feet and encircled my arms around her."It's alright Karen, your brother's fine. He told me to check up on you, and he'll be back really soon.""Are you telling me the truth? He would never avoid me. He always comes to see me.""He isn't avoiding you, Karen. He loves you and he'll come see you very soon."It was hard lying to her, but right now, she needs all the love she can get. I was thinking of taking her home with me so I could watch over her, but it wouldn't be possible since I'm not a member of her family.I broke the hug and sat down
Sarah:Hayden gazed down, unable to stare at me. I had also completely forgotten about Clark's sister. My hands were shaking, and I was unable to utter a single word.I had tears in the corners of my eyes, and they were at the brim of falling. "Talk to me, Hayden please." I said. He took my hands."It's your dad, he died last night." My legs suddenly became wobbly. I thought I had heard wrong. It was definitely impossible. I had thought of visiting him earlier after I was done with Karen.What about all the countless questions I had for him. I clutched my hands, and just when I wanted to fall on the ground, Hayden held me by my waist."Sarah… Hey Sarah, please." He called, but I didn't respond to him. I was lost, lost in my own thoughts and I didn't think I would recover anytime soon.We were yet to reconcile. Dad was yet to see the type of woman I've grown to become. My tears fell from my eyes, and my body weakened even more. Just the thought of the fact he was dead and I would never
Sarah:Few days later.We were all dressed in black, and Becky and I stood at the entrance to welcome all the guests who came to pay their last respect to our father.Even those who hated him, and those who always supported him before he died."Thank you for coming." I greeted them one after the other as they stepped in, but Becky was silent all through. Our family was really becoming a mess and the perfect life we lived in the past was gone too. Since dad is gone, we can't have it back.Mom's still in the cell and she wouldn't be coming out soon. Her trial is in two weeks. I stared at Becky whose hands were folded together and her thoughts far away and heaved deeply.She must really be suffering. She's going through the hardest right now, and it's right when she is planning on leaving the country soon enough.Becky wanted to make amends with dad and tell him how sorry she was. I walked towards her and touched her shoulders. "Becky." I called, but the tears that dampened the corners
