Author's POV
Sarah looked at the bunch of files in front of her and threw her head back tiredly. It was late night; she couldn't even see the people on the street anymore from glass wall of her office cabin. She glanced at the clock and it was past 12am.
She took of her glasses and rubbed her forehead tiredly. She was working since morning like a robot. At the end of the day all her energy had left her body and her eyes were screaming for sleep.
"These are the files you must read and sign miss. We have to send it back till morning..."
Her personal assistant Mr. William said. He was a man in his late fifties. A very much loyal and trusted.
"Okay, give me some time..."
She sighed and wore her glasses again.
'Great! now it will take one more hour.'
She huffed.
"Have you eaten something miss..."
He asked. He always asks that. He was trying to make her life easy as much as he can for which she was very grateful.
She looked up and gave him a quick nod again looking down at her file. She wasn't much of a talker. More like introvert you can say or may be she forced herself to become like that, Sarah is still trying to figure that out.
"Yes I did..."
She lied again. In all this busy day she hardly got time to eat anything. She hasn't eaten anything since this morning.
Mr. Williams looked at her and shook his head disappointingly. He knows that she didn't but she never complaint or nag about it. He was feeling very bad looking at her condition.
Sarah was a beautiful woman. With amber eyes, perfect curves, height and tanned skin. A beautiful, happy and friendly woman but people says right that time changes everything. And that's what exactly happened with Sarah.
At the age of 25 she had few grey hair, dark circles under her eyes. She was losing her curves due to starving herself for work. Instead of going out, dating and living a prime time of her age fully, she has drawn herself into work.
Sarah never desired this life but after her brothers accident he were in coma. She has one more sister Natasha but that brainless bimbo knows nothing about anything so all responsibilities fell on her shoulders. She had to manage her father's group of companies alone. Her father was getting sick day by day so she couldn't bother him about anything.
She was working hard to save and hold up her father's legacy still that old man wasn't satisfied. He was mourning for his half dead son. Even after so much hard work she wasn't getting any praising from her so called father. At the end of the day she Consoles herself saying she is just taking her responsibilities. When her brother recovers she will be free. Free from Everything. Being a boss and handling the companies wasn't her dream, she wanted to become a writer but had to scarifies her ambitions because of her father.
In all this mess she had lost her real self. Where is the girl who used to laugh and smile all day? The girl Who made others laugh now her own smile has got stolen!
"Done Mr. William... Is there anything else too that I need to pay attention..." She asked praying that he should give her clean chit.
"No miss... That's all..."
He declared.
She thank god and stood up from chair. Her High heels were killing her. Finally she got rid of them and wore her comfy sleepers.
"Let's go home please..."
She said walking ahead of him and he followed her.
Sarah was dying to feel her bed beneath her. All she wanted to do is sleep for some good time.
Even her empty stomach didn't bother her anymore.
She quickly get in her car and Mr. William started driving.
"Your father called me this morning..."
Her PA announced grabbing her attention.
"And ?..."
She asked coldly. Her father never called to ask her wellbeing, only to see if she has got the deals and How much profit they made this month.
Her whole life she has craved for his loving words but that man is made up of stone.
'Just because I am his daughter and not son he treats me like this... Well I am doing everything which my brother would have done, aren't I'
She was still in hope that one day her father will pay her back and look at her proudly. They never really talked and their conversation got cut completely when her mother died. They live under one roof but never crossed each other's path or should She say, ignored each other completely.
"And he wants to have dinner with you..."
Her assistant said.
This is the first time he has demanded something like this. Thousands of questions gathered in her mind.
'Did he got my substitute who can manage everything. Or it's just for some deal. May be Natasha has caused some serious problem this time... It's better if he has something to set me free, I am tired of my colorless life...'
"Okay..."
That's all she said not wanting to talk much.
She was again engulfed by her thoughts when car came to halt.
"What happened ?..."
She asked noticing that they haven't reached their destination.
"I think I should check car... It might take some time..."
He said apologetically and stepped out.
She threw her head back frustratingly.
"Great..."
It was suffocating her in the car. She stepped out and decided to take a walk while her assistant fix the car.
She walked down the empty alley to feel the cold and fresh air.
Sarah was still lost in her thoughts but a painful whimper brought her back to life. She followed the direction of sound and quickly hid herself behind the wall.
Some men were beating a man who was on the floor. All were in black suits, build like tanks. She could hear the man begging and screaming for his life which froze her on the spot. One man came ahead from the group; she can see his face due to dim street lights. It was the most abandoned place of the city and she was aware that crimes do happen here.
His eyes were cold grey, he looked young and handsome but she can see the evilness on his face. How can someone be so handsome yet so cruel? He was the main, may be the leader, that's what she thought.
That handsome criminal pulled out a knife and sliced that man's throat. Sarah was about to scream but a large hand got wrapped around her mouth and muffled her voice.
Author's POV "Shh... It's me miss..." Her assistant whispered. She looked at him while he dragged her towards the car and literary threw her inside. He quickly started the car and drove away from the scene. Sarah took deep breaths to gather herself. Her heart was beating rapidly. "M_Mr. W_William we should call the cops..." She panicked but he was totally calm like nothing has happened. "Miss you should relax..." He gave her the water bottle which she quickly took and gulped it down. "We can't do anything... They are mafias and cops can't do shit about it. Just forget what you saw. It's better for everyone. " She looked at him in disbelief. "But how can we___" "Just forget about it miss. We can't do anything. its better you stay away from mafia people..." He said nonchalantly and pulled in front of her mansion. He turned around and gave her very serious expressions. "By now you know how this world works. I know you are smart and won't do anything that will get you
Author's POV "Sarah... How are you my child?..." Her father's friend greeted her instead of him. Sarah gave him tight smile. These fake formalities and talks always disgusted her. Why bother doing that when no one cares. "Get to the point father..." She took her seat in front of him. The dining table wasn't big enough still it could fit 7 to 8 people so they had reasonable distance between them. "How's the business going?..." Peter, her father asked. No hi, no how are you, no greetings. That’s what she Expected. "Good..." She replied nonchalantly trying to read his face. "You lost 5 important deals..." He said sternly. "I got 10 new in the international market..." She replied calmly. "You broke our two important alliances..." He countered. "I have succeeded to merge 3 famous and successful companies with ours which are giving us more profit which your two alliance never managed to do..." Her appetite was long gone by now. She wasn't in mood to argue with him.
Author's POV "Take care of the body..." Xavier ordered his men throwing the knife near dead body. "he just stole few drugs... There was no need to kill him, may be torture but not murder Xavier" His right hand man and friend Ace said. "He betrayed me and you know how much I loathe that thing. Traitors have no place in my world Ace." Xavier said coldly. "I think I heard car passing by boss..." One of his man informed him. Ace shook his head. "No one can do shit. Cops are in our pockets Noah. You are new, it will take some time for you to understand..." Xavier head towards his palace like mansion. He freshen up and joined Ace at minibar in his house. "Xavier my boy..." His uncle said while coming inside excitingly and patted his back sitting beside him. "Groom to be... yeah!" He teased and Xavier scowled. "Shouldn't you be somewhere else. Most precisely with someone. Spend your time with your fiancé..." "Uncle Richard... I have told you before that I am not even
Author's POV Sarah cried under the shower for an hour. Why her life have to be such a mess. After her accident Everything has began to spiral downward. When will she able to live her life. she has spent two years in coma for fuck sake. She doesn't even know if she was really in coma or her so called family has lied to her. She doesn't remember anything. Her life would have been way different than this. There wasn't any physical torture but emotional torture was enough to break her. She was mentally tired. All she needed was a hug, a one tight hug which is full of love and care, May be some soothing words too. 'I can't marry like this. I should have seen his picture. I have to talk to him. I can't marry a total stranger. May be I could convince him to reject me so I don't have to marry... This is terrifying, I can't do this... I can't...' She changed her clothes and when she came out she saw Johnson sitting on the bed. "Hey, I have brought dinner for you. You didn't eat anythi
Author's POV Sarah's eyes widened in shock, fear and panic when she looked at her husband. He was the same man from that night who killed someone very brutally. She married to the mafia boss. He was looking ahead, not even once he glanced at her. In bright lights she could see him clearly. His cold grey eyes were drawn in alcohol in bloodshot red color, Clenched jaw like he is trying to break it. He was looking very unhappy by this marriage and Sarah could sense that. "You may kiss the bride now..." Priest announced and Sarah started shaking in fear. Xavier's fist tightened, he didn't even wanted to see her face let alone kiss her. He looked at his bride, she was looking down and Vail was hiding her face, With reasonable height distance he could only see her hair and not face. Xavier grabbed her hand and kissed it with scowl on his face. He didn't wait for a second after that and walked away. "Send your daughter with Ace... I don't have time for fucking formalities..."
Author's POV Ace looked at the girl who was walking with him towards the car. He didn't liked how Xavier behaved with her but still he doesn't know that she is not Natasha but Sarah. Ace felt bad seeing her tears and ruined makeup, whatever happened was not her fault. Ace knows how manipulative her father is, after all he is a mafia leader. He couldn't understand why he gave Sarah his business, is he really a caring father or it was just a way to shut her mouth. Sarah's eyes were still glossy, she was trying to digest all the information she just got. She said all those things bravely in front of her father but in reality she was shaken from within. Since childhood she was surrounded by the criminals and she had no idea about it. She was constantly thinking how her life will be with Xavier. She was so engulfed in her thoughts that she stumbled due to her high heels and long dress. Ace quickly held her by arms making her stand. "Careful..." He gently said, she nodded and thanked

She said. "Finally!... I am glad you think like that miss... It was necessary..." He said proudly to her. "Thank you... I know I don't have anything to worry as long as you are by my side..."
