2022-01-20 02:35:00I stay right by his side as he calls his parents. You can see the nervousness written all over his face, but he needs to talk to them in order to put his demons to rest. His chest heaves up and down as he runs his fingers through his hair in anxiousness and I wish that I could take away his pain.
“Hello mom.” He says softly, his head hanging low.
I listen to him as he talks to his parents. It’s never easy talking about your loved ones when they are no longer in this world. I know how hard it must be for him to have relived his past when he told me about it, because I felt the same when I told him mine. Our haunted pasts hang above our heads and until we put them to rest they’ll be with us forever.
As he continues his conversation with his parents, I notice how his breathing starts to become normal and the darkness in his eyes become replaced with tenderness. I hope that whatever his mom is saying is able to put him at ease.

“Is he okay?” Nicks asks, his forehead creased in worry, right when I walk out of the room.“Yeah he is now.” I say trying to contain myself so I don’t cry in front of him.I feel like I’m carrying dead weight as I forcibly walk myself back to my room. That ounce of hope that sprang into me when he said he wanted to call off the engagement broke as soon as he said that he won’t.I don’t even know why I was thinking that he would or that if he did, it was because of me. I’m so stupid for thinking that he might feel the same towards me as I do to him.“What happened?” Nick asks, following close behind me.“He told me about what happened to his sister.” I say with a tight mouth. I just want to be alone right now and I can’t even say it without it being suspicious.“He blames himself for her death.” Nick whispers and I halt turning towards him.

Instead of dropping me to Adair’s house, Nick takes me to his home instead. He said he didn’t want me to be alone despite their being a ton of guards, plus he wanted me to meet Mariam since he had told her how he finally has a sister and she’s been dying to meet me ever since.The drive to Nick’s house isn’t too long. Nick spends the entire drive talking to me about how he met his wife, how excited he is for the baby, and how he thinks Adair is totally insane for giving Anna the time of day even though he hopes that she’s okay.As we get closer, a small amount of smoke hangs in the cold air. Before I could ask what is going on, a beautiful cottage style home that sits peacefully among tall trees comes into my sight of vision. Above the chimney, I spot the smoke I noticed earlier.“Here we are!” Nick exclaims as he parks the car.Getting out of the car I take in the fresh smell of rain and trees. &ldquo

“He has her!” I growl at a grave faced Julian.The air is filled with chaos as police sirens blast and K9 dogs bark loudly. To top it off, the rain continues to pour down and the wind howls viciously, shaking the trees back and forth as if they could snap any minute and land on the road. A storm is definitely brewing and this could be the worst possible time.Forensics, police officers, detectives, and reporters buzz around me as they try to investigate what happened to my soon to be ex-wife Anna Adair.“I think your right Alex. It has to be him otherwise the note that’s left behind makes no sense.” Julian states trying to shield his face from the rain.The rain pours down on me but I don’t make an effort to hide away from it. In all of this mess, I need to find Anna. If that bastard has her then she’s not safe, but if he even lays a finger on her I’ll give him a slow agonizing death that he wishes he

Adair’s Point of ViewIt’s the middle of the night and he still hasn’t called. The wind screeches outside like a wolf at a full moon, with the storm being to stubborn to die out. The wait is starting to play with my patience and I’m ready to break a wall.“Get some rest Alex, it’s been a long day for you.” Julian says eyeing my dishevelled state.My clothes are rumbled thanks to the rain and I’m pretty sure my eyes have bags under them right now. Since we got back from Italy I haven’t taken a single moment of rest and it’s starting to take a toll on me. There is no denying that I am tired, but the adrenaline in me is what’s keeping me still going.“I don’t need rest, I need him to find him.” I grumble.Julian puts his hands up in surrender knowing that I’ll do what I want and goes back to typing on his computer.“What are you even

Nick was smart to have called over Mariam’s mother when we were coming back from the police station. He didn’t want to leave Mariam alone after what happened to Anna and I don’t blame him.While their all asleep, I’m pacing back and forth in my room in anxiousness, stressing about Anna’s disappearance and what Adair is going through right now. I know it’s not my fault, but now I wish that I had dropped the case when I had the chance.Sometimes I wish it didn’t happen that I didn’t take the case and just stuck to my everyday cases that came in. I wish I wasn’t dying for adrenaline or even a change in my daily routine. But as much as I think about not having taken it, I can’t deny the fact that meeting Adair was the best thing that has ever happened to me. But with Anna gone missing, I really wish I hadn’t let my feelings take over the reality of the case.All the thoughts swirling in head prevent m

“Dad.” I breathe.“What the hell.” Nick says, astonishment written all over his face as he hovers closer to the screen.This whole time he’s been living in the same building as me for who knows how long and not once did I ever come into contact with him. He’s the one who went into my penthouse and destroyed it, his repulsive hands touched all of our things. He’s the one whose been following me around this entire time and taking pictures.I thought when we left him, we left him for good, but here he is today wrecking havoc into my life again. Because of him my mom is in a wheelchair, and he was able to escape the punishment while we suffered the consequences.But not this time.I’m going to find him and make sure he pays for everything he’s done.“Ms. Carter…” Adair whispers as he comes to my side. His slight touch on my arm snaps me out of my thoughts and there’s

We spend the next couple hours planning our moves. It’s to risky to tell the police to go and arrest Marc since he has hostages and could hurt them. Instead, we all agree to Julian getting in touch with under cover police officers and keeping them around Marc’s location so he doesn’t escape. This way we’ll know where he is at all times while my mom and Anna stay safe and we can figure out how were going to get to him.While Julian talks to the Toronto police, Adair gets in touch with his media representatives and gives them the details about me dropping the case. The news needs to play exactly at 5pm, otherwise he’s going to hurt either Anna or my mother.While Nick speaks to Mariam, updating her about Anna’s disappearance, I use this time to talk to Aunt Meg and Cole.“We’ll bring her home safe.” I assure them both.“I’m sorry Sarah. You trusted me to keep your mom safe and I couldn’

The sun now hangs in the blue sky and the once quiet street is now buzzing with cars and people.I went back with Nick since my clothes were at his house, while Adair went to his office despite us pestering him to get some rest and freshen up. While Nick is helping Mariam make breakfast, I use this time to tell Aaliyah everything that’s going on and to talk to Andrew to keep her safe at all times.“What the hell.” She whispers in astonishment as I finish telling her everything that happened from when we were in Italy to now.What the hell has started to become everyone’s go to statement when they hear about this twisted case.“Right.” I say a pained chuckle escaping me.Saying the whole thing out loud makes it even worse for me. As much as I want to be strong, my heart rips apart every time I think about my mom being in his presence again.“She’ll be okay. I know she will be.” Aaliy

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
