AUTHOR'S POV
“ Silas ” His name rolled off Sara's tongue efficiently.Silas easily heard her sweet voice coming from behind. He turned around, surprised to find her standing behind him on some distance. Her arms were wrapped around her body as she tried to protect herself from the cold and her eyes...Her eyes held some weird emotions in them. It felt like she was overwhelmed with emotions.Did she have a nightmare? He wondered and took out his hands from his pockets. He pushed his right hand forward, before he called out to her. “ Come here. ”His voice was demanding, he knew that. He never used this tone on her before. It was only impulsive, but surprisingly, Sara listened and strolled to him.The moment she got close enough, Silas turned completely around and took a step toward her to end the distance between them.“ Are you cold? ” He asked, his voice filleAUTHOR'S POV She needed to get away from him...That's what the alarm ringing in Sara's head was asking her to do. She knew what she needed to do but her body seemed to have a mind of it's own. Her feet refused to move and walk away from him. Silas came up on the ramp and stood behind her, observing her closely. She wanted to walk away, he knew, but she was unable to do it. Why? He wondered and stepped forth leaving the distance of an inch between them. His warmth seeped through her back and her hair stood up on their ends. Her heart which was beating fast before threatened to explode out of her chest now. She was shaking lightly. Pushing his hand forward, Silas let his forefinger trace a line on her cold hand and watched as her body jolted back. A smirk came to rest upon his lips after watching her reaction to his touch. Sara inhaled deeply as his finger kept tracing a line, going hi
AUTHOR'S POV A gasp escaped Sara's lips and Silas raised his eyes to meet her green horrified orbs. His eyes slowly travelled lower to take in her straight neck before moving lower to her collar bone and then her plump breasts. He took in a sharp breath and dragged his tongue across his lips. The urge to leave marks all over her clear skin was too strong for him. “ You - You need to... I mean you need to... ” He didn't know what he was saying anymore as he tried his best to look somewhere else. “ I need to cover up. ” Sara gasped out but she didn't move from her spot. Her eyes were caught up in his lips which were being bitten harshly by his teeth right now. Her whole body was on fire. She could feel the heated anticipation gnawing at her guts. The sexual tension grew in the air as both of them held their places unable to move away or do anything. “ You need to cove
AUTHOR'S POV What had she done? That was the first question which popped in Sara's mind the moment she woke up from her deep slumber. She was clinging to him like a koala and he was holding her for dear life. This was truly an embarassing sight for her. Last night, she didn't drink but she sure acted like a drunk woman. She was all over him last night. Groaning silently, she had pulled herself free from his arms and rushed to the bathroom to take the shower before deciding to disappear somewhere. Surely, there would be alot of places where he couldn't find her. She planned on disappearing to a place like that. Clothing herself in a simple white dress, she did what she had decided to do. She ran away. She forgot for some time that she was scared of water and Grandfather Magnus might find out about her little trip alone. She just didn't want to face him. ' You w
AUTHOR'S POV Sara stared at the phone in her hand blankly. She couldn't believe it... That Arrogant bitch hanged up on him. “ He can go to hell. ” Sara hissed and threw the phone back in her bag. Everyone in her life was shitty. It was like they all were competing against each other to see who could win this contest of the BIGGEST ASSHOLE. Sulking, Sara laid down on the sand without a care in the world. When you were doomed, what could mere sand do to you anyway? Closing her eyes, she rolled around like a child taking advantage of everyone's absence in this part of the beach. Sighing heavily, she thought about Silas. He would have found out by now that she ran away. This was so unlike her. What was she doing? This question haunted her once again. Pushing herself in a sitting position, Sara glanced at her bag thoughtfully. It was not like she di
AUTHOR'S POV Silas stared at her without blinking his eyes as Sara stared back with much intensity. She looked dumbfounded but angry at the same time. Slowly, she raised her hand and Silas's eyes followed her movement wondering what she was going to do. Was she going to slap him again? Thinking of him as Silas this time? He gulped but her hand politely landed on his forehead as a frown of concentration made it's way up her forehead. She sighed out as she pulled her hand back. “ The fever is gone I think. ” She mumbled to herself as her eyes closed again. What just happened? Silas was wondering about it. Did she just wake up to see if he had fever and she fell asleep again? He frowned and leaned in toward her to see if she was really sleeping. “ If you kiss me again, I will poison your food for sure. ” She warned with her eye
AUTHOR'S POV Sara watched Silas's face for a moment before she decided to tell him everything. “ My Mom was not like them. She was just like you. A peasant as Lexingtons called her. With the smallest mistakes, she had to suffer. She did a small mistake once. She accidentally spilled juice on one of the Grandfather's great powerful business partner's wife's clothes. ” Sara spoke each word slowly as Silas's guilt grew. He raised his head and looked at her again. “ GrandMother likes to punish people. Get on your knees and stay outside for the whole night, Bow down for hundred times, starve for three days, sit under the sun in hot summer for hours. ” Sara was in a trance, her mind travelling back to the corridors of the past. Memories were painful and having to live them over and over again was undeniably cruel. Silas held his breath back, listening to her. He knew there was something hi
AUTHOR'S POV Silas didn't say anything after listening to her. He kept his mouth shut. Any word uttered to console her would mean, he was pitying her...Atleast, that's what Sara would think. So, he kept his silence. She asked him to eat and he did. She gave him the medicines and he took them silently. Sara's soul had began rotting due to the hatred, vengeance and anger she kept hidden behind this Cold woman facade. The whole day passed and eventually, she disappeared again. That's her way to deal with things. She keeps running away from feelings and reality. The moment she got to know he was feeling better now, she picked up her bag and walked away. Silas stepped out on the ramp and stared at the sea for a while wondering what he should do. It was him who hurt her. He didn't mean to do it but he couldn't help letting all his frustration out on her. Sighing, he pushed his
AUTHOR'S POV “ Because I love you. ” Silas whispered out huskily while Sara just stared at him dumbfoundedly.He really said that? Sara's heart skipped a beat. “ You love money. ” She reasoned out as her mind failed to register what was happening anymore. She had mentioned it right? He had some strange hold on her heart. Her heart was always pulling her toward him. “ Ofcourse. Who doesn't love money. ” Silas held his laugh back, seeing Sara's expressions changing drastically. “ But I love you too. Maybe not as much as my money but I still love you. ” Silas teased and leaned in to peck her nose while Sara still stared at him in shock. Sara's face was heating up. What...was he saying? She gazed at him in shock and suspiscion. Suddenly, Silas burst out in laughter and a frown pulled up at Sara's forehead. “ You wer

She walked toward him, a smile gracing her lips.“ How can you leave from outside?

There was no doubt about that.She didn’t want to judge people anymore. She wanted to be kind to everyone and most of all, towards her father.“ I was just leaving. ” Henry Lexington kept his face away from her, tears beginning to fall his eyes.

AUTHOR’S POVAfter the meaningful encounter with Grandfather Albert, Sara walked back to Silas’s room. She had some difficulty finding the room but the butler helped her.Standing in front of the door, she now wondered about her plans. Was this a good choice? She didn’t know.She could get back at him first and they could talk later, like Silas suggested.Turning the doorknob, Sara entered the room without knocking and found Silas sitting on his bed leisurely.Poor Sick Silas. She t’ched internally and walked over to him.“ So? Now, you know you can not run away from here. ” He folded his arms over his chest and poked his inner cheek with his tongue.“ Yeah. I know I can’t run away. ” Sara whispered, strolling toward the connected doors to check everything out.“ What are you doing? ” Silas asked suspiciously. She was too calm at this time and to
AUTHOR’S POV“ I can and trust me…I will, Dear Wife. ” Silas’s hold over Sara’s wrist tightened as he proclaimed.“ I am leaving. ” Sara pried his hand off and glared at him.Deep down, she had a hunch that she committed a mistake coming here. It was the Lion’s den and it would be impossible to leave from here if Silas didn’t let her go.“ Try leaving then. ” Silas challenged, their egos finally clashing.“ So you will do this to me now? ” Sara spoke, hurtfully.“ I have to do this. You are acting like a three year old for God’s sake! It’s marriage. It’s not some dollhouse play where you can leave everything halfway so easily. ” Silas pushed his hair back, his head beginning to hurt due to the stress Sara was causing him.“ First, we will talk it out. If I can’t convince you to forgive me then
AUTHOR’S POV“ I want divorce, Silas. ” After she said this out aloud, Silence consumed them both for a while.Silas was expecting an outburst, an angry tantrum but not this rushed decision of separation for life.He set his lips in a thin line, his eyes narrowing down to observe her closely. She was avoiding eye – contact with him.“ Repeat it. ” He spoke slowly, his tone deadly. “ Say it again, Sara. ”Sara lifted her head, her gaze settling on his light brown orbs. Did he think he could scare her into changing her decision? No, he couldn’t do it anymore.“ You had a chance. I gave you one. You could have told me, but you didn’t. Why? Because, you didn’t trust me like I did? Or were you just taking advantage of my love? What was it that you tried to achieve by pretending to be someone else? ” Sara got up from the chair, her eyes glaring at Silas
AUTHOR’S POV“ I am pretty sure the hospital is on the opposite way. ” Sara pointed out to Jake who was sitting on the backseat with her.“ Sir is at home now, Ma’am. ” Jake replied calmly when all Sara had been doing all the time was getting angry at him.Sara sighed out and looked outside at the trail of trees passing by. Home. Grandfather. She understood it better now.She was relieved but she was anxious at the same time. She felt sad too. She knew why, this time.She had all the answers she needed now. There was no confusion left.She was sad because Grandfather Magnus was dying. No matter how much she despised him or how much that family hurt her, they were still human beings.
