Chapter 34 :“It must be from either Dr Keith Torres or his son Peter”, Sarah decided to partly come clean before Amelia opens her mouth and cause trouble.“Dr Torres was our professor from University. He also runs a publishing firm. I was one of his favorite students. Unfortunately Dr Torres has been afflicted with cancer. He is now in the 3rd stage, and his health is failing. He has come to Bangkok nonetheless to attend a two-day writers convention in Pattaya to be held from day after tomorrow, and wants to meet me” , Sarah said while pressing Amelia’s hand as a signal for her to keep shut.She knew that the men would go absolutely ballistic if they hear about the kidnapping effort.“But you’ve changed your number recently. How did they get your number?”, Henry asked.“Oh we bumped into Peter in the trinket market in the morning, and he took my number”, Sarah said casually.“Maybe I and Amelia can go to Pattaya for a day and meet Dr Torres when you men attend the medical conference?
Dr Sam drew Madam Busaba to a side room as soon as Sarah and Amelia excused themselves to wash up after their hearty meal.“What is it Madam? What evil foreboding did you see about Sarah’s future?Please tell me. I will try with my life to save her from harm,” Dr Sam asked, his face reflecting his tension.“I saw danger closing in on her. I saw her sinking into water. And I saw death”, Madam Busaba’s face was dark. She was in pain.“Death?”, Dr Sam’s voice cracked in shock. “You foresaw Sarah’s death?”“We don’t foretell death. Our grand master forbids us. But still I tell you – I don’t think it is Sarah but someone near her whose life is at risk. I don’t know who. The risk is from a young, tall, muscular man. I hope you’re not the man?”, Busaba asked looking Dr Sam up and down in suspicion.“No madam. I will die before I harm even a nail on Sarah’s finger. I genuinely love and care for her”, Dr Sam confessed to the elderly lady making her smile. “Maybe it is her estranged husband?
Back at Leo Ad agency, Robert was winding up his work before his impending trip to Thailand. His assistant Josiah barged into Robert’s room all excited.“Boss I have finally found out about Butterflies Ad Agency and Sophia Baker”, he breathlessly announced.Robert raised his brow in anticipation.“Butterflies Ad Agency has divided equity partnership among four partners. Sophia Baker is one of the partners. She is a divorcee. She was previously married to construction tycoon, millionaire Kenneth Brown. It seems Kenneth is still hung up on his college crush, a woman called Lucy Morris and was banging her in the 5-star Marina Hotel by the Bay when Sophia walked in on them. She had since then filed for divorce even though the entire Brown family had undertaken to drill sense into Kenneth and requested her not to break her marriage. The proceedings were very messy with charge and counter- charge. Kenneth did not want to divorce Sophia, more so because his father threatened to disinherit hi
“ Oh no !”, Jessica screamed hysterically while putting on her clothes, ‘ Josiah catch her and destroy the photos or we are both doomed. We will both loose our jobs and I will never get a chance of becoming Mrs Hudson.”“ Why do you want to be Mrs Hudson? We both know Robert is near bankruptcy, all thanks to your disastrous seduction. You want to marry a pauper?’, Josiah snorted while zipping his pants and running after Amber Honey.Amber Honey herself was running after Robert, who in turn was heading towards his car waiting to take him to the airport for his Thailand trip.“ Sir, Robert Sir”, Amber shouted as she ran after Robert.Suddenly strong hands gripped her waist and pulled her in between two pillars, while clapping her mouth.“Peace ma’am. Stand still”, Josiah hissed and took away Amber Honey’s mobile, as the woman’s eyes rounded in shock.He deftly deleted all the photos before handing the phone back to her.From the corner of her eye, Amber Honey saw Robert leaving in his c
“Sarah’s in danger. We have to reach her”, Henry pulled Dr Sam aside. The Medical conference was nearing its end for the day and the delegates were just about to go for high tea.“What!”, Dr Sam was shocked. “Danger?”“Yes. Her bastard ex, Robert Hudson has landed in Bangkok. He’s probably checked us out at this Medical Conference and has headed to the Writers Meet”, Henry informed.“The Writers’ Meet? How did he know Sarah is there? And are you sure Robert is here ?”, Dr Sam was astounded.“Yes. Dad’s assistant just called me. Dad has put a mole in Robert’s office and she informed about Robert’s itinerary. Seems Robert does not know Sarah is there. He felt she’ll be here with us. He has gone to the writer’s conference to check on good writers. Someone called Honey”, Henry informed as the duo headed out hurriedly.“Honey? She’s top tier. Fat chance that she’ll write for a scumbag like Robert !”, Dr Sam scoffed.“Oh don’t underestimate the man’s charm. Don’t forget he had our Sarah eat
“Death. I saw death. I saw Sarah sinking and water all around”, Madam Busaba’s predictions hammered Sarah’s head as she was sucked into the large wave.Sarah had eavesdropped as Dr Sam pulled Madam Busaba aside to hear what she foresaw in Sarah’s coffee cup reading.The elderly lady had clearly spelt out that she saw danger from a tall, young, muscular man.Sarah clutched her stomach and said a silent goodbye to her unborn child as she closed her eyes and continued sinking.So far away from home. Far away from her father and family. If this is what destiny had written for her, how could she fight it?, Sarah thought without trying to swim up, or stop herself from sinking.--------------“ Murderer! Murderer ! You have killed not one but two lives”, Amelia was shrieking hysterically as she clutched on to Robert preventing him from running away.“I did not push her. Someone pushed me from behind. I just fell on her due to the sudden push”, Robert tried to clear himself.Where had he seen
Beep. Beep.The low beeping sounds of the ventilator and the tubes attached to various parts of Sarah’s body as she lay in coma in the hospital bed, were punctuated by whimpering sounds from Amelia sitting close by.She and the many doctors attending Sarah had forced Henry and Dr Sam to go for a shower after two whole days of non-stop watching over her. Dr Sam had got down to assisting the hospital’s doctors and had personally monitored Sarah’s CT Scan, MRI and a host of other tests, after which they had decided to move her from the ICU to a VIP room where one of the three could stay until Sarah was stable enough to be flown back to the States.They had kept the accident secret from the Hill family for now as they did not want father Theodore Hill to hit the panic button.“I couldn’t protect you even though I knew Robert is a scoundrel with criminal bent of mind”, Amelia whimpered, massaging Sarah’s limp hands and feet.“I couldn’t protect the little precious soul inside you”, Amelia
Chapter 41 :“Milly! You think you can hoodwink me with your hair bleached golden?”, Peter had walked in breaking Amelia’s reverie.Amelia jumped up in shock with her mouth opening like a goldfish.But before she could utter anything, another rich baritone interrupted.“Who are you calling Milly? You’re making a mistake Mr Publisher, Peter. She is my fiancée, Amelia, a childhood friend of both mine and Sarah’s. We all grew up together”, Henry walked in and stood in front of Peter, with his taller built dwarfing the man with brooding and crafty grey eyes.Amelia startled in shock. Fiancée? Grew up together? Why was Henry covering up for her?Dr Sam walked in next adding to Peter’s discomfiture. “We understand your concern for Sarah, writer Honey for you. Rest assured, we will inform you the moment she recovers, but for now, lets not crowd around her, and importantly, not say anything that might make the current situation more stressful for any of us. We are going through a bad time Mr P
Scanning through the multitudes of obscene videos and scandalous photos stored on his mobile, Robert chuckled with glee, thinking of how he could now just sit back and command millions of dollars to float into his banks and pockets.As his wife, Sarah had served him exceedingly well and he felt a twinge of guilt somewhere down his gut for returning her smothering love with blackmail, but she had left him with no choice by refusing to return to him, he reasoned.No, no, Robert told himself, he should not become weak. Sarah had cheated him by hiding her true identity as a Hill heiress, as a famous million dollar writer, and had even never dressed up and turned out as glamorous as she looked now, in her two years as his wife.This was payback time for letting the ugly, obese woman tag along with him for two whole years, and he couldn’t just afford to become weak or emotional about her at this point, Robert told himself.Slowly whipping up his rage by adding the many wrongs Sarah purporte
“Save us Robert. Lets all beg forgiveness from Sarah”, Keith and Peter Torres burst into Robert’s hotel room, even as a nubile Thai girl scampered to pick the remnants of her clothes and cursing in a language none could understand.“Beast”, she finally spat before counting her money and leaving the room.The bruises on her face made the elderly Keith Torres gasp, but he kept quiet as he had more pressing personal problem to settle.“Lets flee the country by road before its too late. The Thai police are hot on our trail. They are indicting dad also for collaborating and supporting. Maybe by now they have issued a look out warrant for us at the airports”, Peter Torres panted.“The arrest warrant is for you both, not for me. I see no reason to be collaborating, or even be seen with you both. So please go, before I throw both of you out for forceful intrusion into my room”, Robert said smugly.“You fool, Theodore Hill is here. And he has dug out the whole conspiracy. None of us will be sp
“Yes he will try to tarnish my name and reputation without a second thought. He will try to sway people and even the court with his charm, but I will fight him. I want out. By trying to blackmail me into submission, he has crossed all limits”, Sarah fumed.“Typical person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder!”, Amelia scorned, “I don’t know how you tolerated that gas lighting scumbag all these years, Sarah! Not only is he a cheat, a leach and a bastard, but his exaggerated sense of self importance is so infuriating that I want to slap him every time he opens his mouth”, Amelia burst out in anger.“Now that I’m out of that hell hole house and have mentally snapped out of the abusive marriage, I too cannot fathom how I tolerated him for so long. Maybe it’s a lack of self worth fuelled by constant criticism about my looks which made me suffer blame and abuse everyday. Many women like me who are not pretty, continue in abusive relationships thinking that they do not deserve the handsome
“Thank God Sarah you are out of your coma! Dad is coming to Thailand to check on us”, Henry breezed into Sarah’s hospital room. “Edward, Nancy and Mathew might be coming too!.”“Why are they leaving grandma out ?”, Sarah rolled her eyes, but started wheezing and coughing soon.“Go slow Sarah. Relax. You’ve just out of your coma. You need time to recuperate. But we can do that once we are back home”, Dr Sam said placing the pillows behind Sarah as the medical attendant raised the back of Sarah’s hospital bed to help her sit up a bit. “Yes Sarah honey lets go back home today itself. You’ve suffered a lot. I’ll get the best doctors to treat you back to health”, Robert said walking in.“You bastard! Who allowed you in?”, Henry raised his voice.“It seems you’ve forgotten that we are estranged. You threw me out and I signed the divorce papers”, Sarah hissed unable to say more. “Lets put all that behind us. We are not legally divorced yet”, Robert tried getting closer to Sarah, onl
All hell had broken loose at the Sinclair villa meanwhile with the parents and daughter all screaming. Daniel was the only person unaffected and chuckling at the drama that had unfolded.“Dad, I want that Stella woman crippled. Get a car to run over her legs. How dare she take away what is mine?”, Isabella screamed, tears flowing down her face, and her flowing eyeliner and smudged eyeshadow making her look like a Panda.Isabella had kicked off her high heels and was now sitting on the carpet and bawling like the spoilt brat that she was. Her fitting designer gown had further torn at the sides as she squatted, and had flapped open to show her panties full on.“Isabella, cover yourself. Your brother, father and the house servants are around. Oh my God! You are such a disgrace!”, in a rarity, mother Penelope was shouting at Isabella. “What’s the use of shouting now? What kind of a mother are you? Couldn’t you have forced Bella to change her godawful dress before the dinner? Or at least
Grand dame Julia Hill was a high ranking excise official with the government before her retirement. She always maintained her regal, authoritative, sharp tongued demeanor before outsiders. Only her very close family members, particularly her grandchildren, were privy to her naughty, fun side.“Theodore, why are you being a prude and an obstacle to Mathew and Stella’s relationship? I quite like Stella here. So what if she is Nancy’s sister? Is there any law forbidding two brothers from marrying two sisters?”, she thundered.“Mathew and Stella?”, Theodore’s eyes were popping out as he tried to stand up and his chair fell with a loud thud on the floor.Mathew almost spluttered his soup at grandma Julia’s “Mathew and Stella’s relationship” statement. Edward looked down and tried hard to hide his giggle, while Nancy stared hard at the curtain to suppress her laughter. Stella too looked embarrassed, though she tried to smile sweetly.Stella, Nancy’s baby sister, was a gorgeous stunner and
“We can’t allow this. It will be terribly embarrassing for both families. Besides contrary to what you say, I don’t see any motive. My sister has already left Robert Hudson and signed the divorce papers. Dr Sam will get nothing further by demonizing Robert”, Henry reasoned, “And now let me go and check on my sister.”Henry excused himself.“But sir..”, the Thai Police started to speak but was interrupted by Henry again. “I’m sure this is a wrong track. Didn’t the hooded fellow who carried out the dirty job say that the man who commissioned the job spoke to him in fluent Thai language? Sam doesn’t speak Thai at all.”“But he could have covered his tracks and hired someone to speak on his behalf”, the Police reasoned.“What the hell!”, Henry was angry. “This is a wrong track I tell you. I think that bastard Robert himself planned this whole thing out to come out looking like a saint and frame Dr Sam as he is desperate to get Sarah back after he realized she is rich.”“You should investig
“Sister save me from the hell cat”, Mathew whined beseeching Nancy, making her double up in laughter.“Sarah and grandma are the only two people who can make dad cower and take a back seat. Since Sarah is indisposed, try grandma. Though I have doubts whether she will listen to you. She’s been crying herself hoarse since the past two years that you’re getting old. She even spotted a grey hair on your head!”, Edward laughed at Mathew, trying to scan through his thick dark brown hair and find more greys.“Goddammit! I’m just 28. There was no grey hair on my head. I’m sure you guys put some powder and instigated grandma!”, Mathew retorted, making even the matronly Rosie laugh and shake her head at the bantering. She loved the Hill family children and knew that Isabella’s coming into the family would spell bad news.“Just because I don’t have a steady girlfriend doesn’t mean I can be paired with just anybody! Am I a cow that the Hills bought which can be sold and led by the noose to be fas
Chapter 47 :Isabella Sinclair groaned and palmed her head as she opened her mobile and unblocked Jessica Williams. Her eyes rounded in shock seeing the super hot Mathew Hill with another woman. She had been busy visiting top designers for the super rich and shopping for her attire and accessories for the evening dinner with the Hills through the past few days which had left her exhausted. She was getting a body massage at a luxe spa when Jessica’s irritating phone calls started disturbing her.To Isabella, Jessica was a pest, always sweet talking her to somehow slide her way to bag some projects which the Sinclair Industries might throw like crumbs to a stray. As Jessica couldn’t manage any appointment with her canny father, shrewd business magnate Albert Sinclair, she was desperately wooing the daughter to make a side entry. Isabella however did not generally mind the sycophancy as it gave her ego boost and also added to her string of followers, but sometimes it got to her nerves. L
