"Um, is it okay if we look at the store that Nick mentioned? I mean, if you're to busy then that's fine. I don't mind doing it myself. I kind of um...um wanted to get into the...action." She says carefully.
I would have never imagined Ms. Carter to say she wanted to get into the "action." Amused by her daredevil side, I burst out laughing. Her beautiful amber eyes stare at me waiting for my response, and I can't help but think about her running into the shop with a gun and demanding to know who bought the gloves. It's not like I can't see her doing that, because I can. She has a fierce demeanor to her and she definitely isn't the one to back down.
Her face turns a shade of red as she attempts to hide her face away from me. Feelings of guilt surface inside of me as I watch her look away, my laughter dying out immediately. I think I made her feel embarrassed, and that is something I would never want her to feel. Only if she k

Adair’s Point of ViewAnna has been calling and texting me nonstop since yesterday to discuss about the wedding venue and it's driving me crazy. I’ve been avoiding her calls, because quite frankly right now I could care less. Getting up from my bed I dial Miller numbers. Yesterday was mayhem at the office, and I had no time to make the call.Simon was hesitant to give Miller's phone number to me at first due to “privacy reasons," but after giving him a full load of threats if he didn't oblige with my orders, he gave it within two seconds flat. Even though Simon said he talked to Miller two days ago about returning early, I couldn’t wait that long.“Okay Miller lets hear what you have to say.” I say to myself dialing in his number.A couple of rings go by and it goes straight to his answering machine.“Damn it pick up the damn phone.” I growl dialing him back again.Pacing back

The headline will make its way on the news at exactly 3pm today, the breaking news time, and will continue to make headlines throughout this week. Since I got into work I have kept my television on not wanting to miss even a second of the Adairs' divorce announcement. I've been having difficulty concentrating on my cases today because I’m kind of excited for this case to go public. Once its public, this means we can start progressing with everything.“Sarah, do you want me to get you popcorn?” Aaliyah jokes highlighting facts for another case.“Ha ha very funny.” I say sarcastically as I type away on my laptop.“This is exciting isn’t it? I mean we have had many cases being mentioned on the news before, but just the nature of this case makes it more…devious” She laughs evilly.“Devious?! Damn Aaliyah your word choice is perfect.” I laugh rolling my eyes at her.“Thank you very

Stuffing my laptop into my purse I head out for the day.“Sarah, you have to tell me what Mr. Adair said!” Aaliyah exclaims bouncing to my side as we make our way to the elevator.There wasn’t anything special that was said other than the news and finding those transactions which the latter I can’t tell Aaliyah about. Getting into the empty elevator, I retell Aaliyah about our conversation, leaving out Greg and the transactions.“What?!” She exclaims, her eyes widening to a point that I think they might fall out of her sockets. “Your getting bodyguards?! WOW! No fair. I want some!” She whines.She actually does have bodyguard thanks to Adair but she just doesn’t know it nor can she find out. Or maybe…“Don’t worry he said you’ll get some too.” I smile shoving my hand into the pocket of my coat.I mean I’m not lying it is true that she has s

Adair’s Point of ViewBy the time I make it back home it's 10:00pm and all I want to do is sleep. Announcing our divorce today definitely caught the attention of a lot of people. I’ve been bombarded with phone calls all day that I had to turn my phone off, get Dorias to turn her phone off, and get my PA to turn his phone off, because when I didn’t pick up people would start calling them and it was just getting fucken ridiculous.It’s a damn divorce why do people even care.Stripping off my clothes I get into the shower letting the hot water relax my tensed body. I'm only allowed a couple minutes of relaxation before the doorbell rings.Who the hell can that be at this time.“Ugh.” I groan in anger. All I want is just to take a fucken hot shower and go to sleep.Getting out of the shower, I wrap a towel around my waist having no time to wipe myself dry as I take a lo

Mr. Rollins asked me if I wanted to take the day off today, and without a second thought I said yes. Apparently, Adair had called him and told him how my smashed windows was related to the case and that he’ll be setting up new and top notch security around me at all times.From what he said last night I think I’ll be getting elite bodyguards or ones that I can probably see this time.I’m pretty sure that Adair told Mr. Rollins to give me the day off, and I’m thankful because I really didn’t want to leave my mom alone today.I could have asked Mr. Rollins myself but me being a workaholic, I would never take a sick day unless I’m actually sick.Instead of working from home like I usually do on my sick days, I decide that I really need a breather from all these cases. It’s a beautiful day outside and I decide to take my mom to the park for a picnic.“Remember when you would go down the slides and you wou

As soon as we exit out of the elevator, there stand two large muscular men on opposite sides of our door. Dressed in big black heavy clothes, a vest, and have an ear piece going down the side of their neck, I notice that they also carry a gun in the holster that rests on their waist.They look exactly like the three guys we saw in the lobby before coming up here.My mom turns her head towards me with a look of curiosity written all over her face, and I know why their here. There the bodyguards that Adair hired for us.Walking to the front door in silence we stand in front of the tall men and I nod at both of them to say hi. They nod back and one of them gives me a small smile.I take this opportunity to introduce myself and my mom so we can be familiar with each other and also so they don’t mistaken us for the wrong people.“I’m Sarah Carter, and this is my mom Elizabeth Carter. Thank you for being here.” I sm

Before leaving, Adair briefed me about my bodyguards. I will always have two in front of my door, three downstairs in the lobby, one to drive me around everywhere, and a couple at work.When ever my mom would need to go out, Andrew or Cole will accompany her and someone will replace them in front of my door. He gave me the phone numbers of all the body guards and I made sure to save them according to their position aside from Andrew and Cole.I’ll remember their names.When I asked him what happened to the old guards, he said there was a lot of yelling, threatening, and firing involved but more of the threatening part.My mom and I spend the rest of the evening watching a movie. As the movie plays, I'm having trouble concentrating, because I’m itching to call my aunt and ask her about this whole vacation thing. I honestly don’t know how long this whole case will run, but I can at least ask her to have my mom over for at least two months.

I spend the next two days helping my mom pack for her flight which leaves for tomorrow. When the airline found out that Elizabeth Carter was my mom, which I definitely think my aunt mentioned it, they prioritized her and gave her a ticket for the earliest flight possible.It definitely has to do with my name being attached to the Adair case. This time I’m glad I could get a perk.I called Adair right after my phone call with Aunt Meg and told him the whole thing. He said that I can chose either Cole or Andrew to accompany my mom to Canada, and if I want more than to choose anyone else I would like. I think one bodyguard would be enough especially since Aunt Meg is a force to be reckoned with herself.Upon deciding, my mom said she wanted to go with Cole, because she liked his eyes. I died laughing at that, because that’s an odd way to decide who to come with you.“I don’t understand why you can’t come Sarah.&rdquo

4 years later Our baby girl is growing up so fast. Ariana Elizabeth Adair is now 8 months old and she’s the smartest and most fearless baby that I have ever seen- and she gets that from her parents.“Look at this Ari.” Zara says picking up her bow and arrow set that Alex got for her birthday last month.Ari takes a hold of the bow in her small hands and gives it a 360-degree examination before taking the plastic arrow from Zara’s hand and sticking it flat onto the red bean bag couch. Luckily there’s a sticky plastic to the end of it and not an actual arrow, saving us the destruction that would come if it were to hit into something.“That’s my girl.” Adair smiles.Sitting in his lap, I lean back into his chest, the soft fabric of his dark blue sweater giving off warmth. He kisses the top of my head and intertwines his fingers with mine as we watch the two kids play. We sit on

It feels like the very first day of school where you’re the new kid and absolutely have no idea what to expect. That’s me right now. Mixed emotions run through me with nervousness, happiness, and excitement being among the top three.What will Adair say when he sees me? What if he’s moved on already? What if he gets angry at Nick for telling me where he was? What if he left Greece early?I know my mind is running wild like it normally does, and I tell myself to calm down. Everything will be alright.Neatly trimmed colorful trees line the walkway to the hotel’s entrance. It’s fall again and I’m kind of sad that I missed my favorite seasons- spring and summer- because of being in a coma. But this is the exact same month that I met Adair for the first time, and I find it so magical that this was the month that God made me wake up in.Nick talks to the receptionist and she hands him over a swipe card to Adair's room.

Two weeks have passed by and I can proudly and thankfully say that I remember almost everything, but I just don’t remember his face or his name. He comes into my dreams every night, his face still blurry and when dawn breaks, he leaves me.I search up his crazy ex fiancé’s name to find his name on the Internet, but I can’t find it anywhere. It’s as if they never knew each other. I remember how we first met and how he saved me. I remember it all, but I don’t remember him.And it’s eating me alive.I no longer have to visit the doctor anymore which I’m so glad because I couldn’t take the sight of the hospital anymore. The doctor was very impressed at how fast my brain was able to pick up on the memories, but it’s only because of the family that I have today. And it’s thanks to the crazy case.I ended up asking Tyron how he felt about my mom and he said that he was in love with her. I asked m

My mom and the other woman carefully walk towards me. My eyes brim with tears as I take in my mothers’ appearance. She looks like she lost weight, her daisy yellow blouse hanging loosely around her collar bones. Taking a hold of my hand, she kisses my palms and holds them close to her heart.“Mom.” I whisper causing her to look up in shock.“You…you remember me?” She asks wide eyed.“How can I forget you mom.” I say through sobs.I carefully get out of bed trying my best not to tug on the IV poll and I embrace her in a hug. We cry into each other until there are no more tears left. She makes me sit back on the bed and I do so without any complaints. I feel drained, but it’s nothing compared to this feeling of wanting to be with my mom.“Do you remember me?” Aaliyah whispers, her hands clutched to her chest.I try my best to remember her, and I see faint memories, but I

8 months laterTall dark trees surround me, their leaves rustling against the light breeze. I continue to run trying to find an exit, but I can’t see a way out of this suffocating dark. Rain starts to tap my head and I look up at the sky. The pitch black sky embraces the dark stormy clouds and my heart slams into my chest.I need to find a way out before the storm starts.Running, the wet gritty soil covers my naked feet as pebbles and tiny branches poke into the bottom of my feet. I ignore the pain desperately trying to find my way out calling for help.The rain slams down and thunder booms across the sky, drowning my calls for help. I run as fast as I can tears now streaming down my face. Howls echo with the thunder and I look around wide eyed hoping that there aren’t wolves.“Please can anyone help me!” I shout, the hem of my white night gown getting caught in the branch.I trip over the large branch

Adair’s Point of ViewThe next couple of hours for Sarah are critical. Thankfully the bullet missed her heart but only by a couple inches. I was able to get her to the hospital on time, and if I didn’t, according to the doctor, she could have died.I sit, broken and tired in the waiting room patiently waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating theatre. My shirt is covered in her blood and despite getting a lot of stares from people they don’t utter a word.I called everyone she knew so they can be here when she wakes up. Nick and Julian are bringing Elizabeth over right now. I sent my private jet to Andrew, Aaliyah, Cole, and Meghan so they can get here faster. When I told them about Sarah they were speechless. At first Aaliyah was mad at me, telling me that I let Anna hurt Sarah but she apologized when her anger died down. However, her words hold truth to them. If only I could have pulled the trigger earlier then Sara

“ANNA DON’T!” Elizabeth yells, but Anna ignores her cries and walks over to the darkness and emerges back out with a gun in her hand.My heartbeat quickens and sweat forms on my forehead. I watch the sleek black gun glisten in her hand and with every step she takes I see my death getting closer and closer.I suck in my breath telling myself that I won’t cry. I can’t let my mom see me in fear despite fear running in every part of me right now. I have to be strong, for the both of us.“I love you mom.” I whisper one last time.“Sarah please-” She sobs as Anna holds the phone across from me so my mom can see my death.All of a sudden a loud boom startles Marc forcing him to drop the phone on the ground and my eyes search frantically across the screen looking for my mom.“YOUR UNDER ARREST!” Yells a familiar voice and I know who it belongs to.Julian.

Adair’s Point of ViewEver since I left New York I’ve been counting down the time to reach Anna’s place. Time is slipping away and I don’t know even know if Ms. Carter will be there. My heart is telling me that she is, but my brain is telling me otherwise, and it’s driving me fucking insane.I can’t believe that this entire time Anna was playing with me. I could smell a snake a mile away, but this time a snake was right under my nose and I didn’t even know it.“She played me so well.” I growl taking a sharp turn at the lights, the empty street taunting my stupidness.I’m only five minutes away from her place and the anxiety that grows inside me is one that I’ve never experienced before. My body feels restless and my chest heaves up and down as breathing becomes difficult to do.When my sister went missing I felt like the world was torn away from me and now, kno
Forbidden Red Chapter 59
My eyes slowly open as I try to adjust to the dim light that hangs above me. A sharp pain shoots at the back of my head causing me to wince. My head throbs in pain and I feel like I’ve been hit in the back of a head with a metal baseball bat. My eyes travel down to my hands and I realize that both my hands and feet are tied tightly to the chair with chains.I try to break free, but it only makes it worse as the chains dig even deeper into my skin causing me to yelp in pain.I look around for help but the place is completely empty. It’s freezing cold and smells like a wet dog. A tiny window near the top of wall lets in a small stream of light and through there I can tell that it’s already night time. Where am I? I scream for help, anyone who can help me at least get these chains off me, but I go mute once I realize what happened. Everything comes back to me. It was Anna who hit me in the back of the head right when I was
