AUTHOR'S POV
“ Why did Grandfather call me back? ” Sara mumbled for the nth time causing Silas to groan out.They both were sitting on the couch side by side after eating their dinner and Sara had been repeating the same thing over and over again.This was getting on Silas's nerves now.
“ Why don't you call him and ask? ” He mocked clearly annoyed by her dazed behaviour.“ Really? ” Sara turned to look at him in wonder.Silas blinked his eyes in disbelief. She was too shocked, he thought and shook his head.Sighing out, he pushed himself up from the couch and marched toward the bed to grab a pillow. It was already late and they needed to go back in the early morning because Grandfather Magnus had demanded so.Silas knew why Grandfather Magnus was calling them back. He knew Sara had a hunch too. Her Mr. Devil had acted up to bring her back.AUTHOR'S POV “ What if I do? What are you going to do? Are you going to kill me? ” He scoffed and his eyes went wide after realising what he just said. Silence fell between them. It was thick, it was suffocating and it was horrible for Silas. Sara's eyes watered up, a specific memory coming back to haunt her. ' Now you are a good girl. ' She could hear a voice whispering in her mind. She could feel the hot, wet blood on her hands too. Folding her arms over her chest, Sara tried to shake off the image from her mind. “ Sara. ” Silas called out to her cautiously and sat up when she didn't say anything for the longest time. He knew what she might be thinking, living right now. “ Don't raise your voice at me... ” Sara warned him and blinked back the tears from her eyes. “ I will kill you if you do. ” Her voice softene
AUTHOR'S POV Sara stared at the clouds they were floating above. It was always mesmerising for her... ...Being in air and away from the world was always mesmerising. She was feeling anxious. What could Grandfather Magnus possibly want from her? “ Are you still not going to talk to me? ” Silas's voice pulled her out of her thoughts and she slowly moved her head to spare him a glance. He was sitting right in front of her with his face supported by his hand. He seemed bored out of his mind. Good, Sara thought. He deserved this after what he said last night. She was just trying to be good to him and he ruined it all by being an ungrateful bitch. Ignoring his puppy eyes, Sara looked back at the fluffy clouds. He had apologized last night, thinking that she was sleeping but she couldn't sleep after what happened between them. She was restless but after h
AUTHOR'S POV “ SARA! ” It was Sara's father who shouted at her before everyone. Sara didn't even spare him a glance. She was busy gazing at Grandfather Magnus emotionlessly. Her hands curled by her side as she gulped. “ You made her do this but it was all for our family business afterall. So what are you going to do now Grandfather? ” Sara's words took a 180 turn surprising everyone including Silas and her father. Silas's heartbeat picked it's speed as he realized the same thing once again... There was nothing good left in Sara anymore. Her soul had rotten away because of Vengeance. Grandfather Magnus didn't say anything. He just sat on his grand chair and stared at his young grandchild - the only one without a mother in their family. In Grandfather Magnus's eyes, Sara was fierce and manipulative. She never said what she was thinking or feeling. Every word which fell out of her mouth was cruel and twisted. She
AUTHOR'S POV The sound of Grandmother Eloise's hand coming in contact with Silas's cheek rang through the dead silent living room. Sara's eyes went wide in horror and another emotion which she instantly recognized as Anger. Silas's face had turned to one side due to the strong impact. He was not moving or saying anything as Sara found herself unable to look away from him. “ DON'T FORGET YOUR PLACE AGAIN OR I WILL TEACH YOU A LESSON. YOU LIVE ON OUR MONEY. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT, YOU USELESS PRICK! ” Grandmother Eloise had shrieked out in her shrill voice. Sara stepped forth in a trance but then stopped before curling her hands into fists. Remember your place or I will teach you a lesson, Grandmother Eloise had often used the same words with Sara's mother when she was alive and in the end, She taught her mother such a good lesson that she lost her life. Tears of anger burned the back of
AUTHOR'S POV “ Silas. ” Sara got up from the couch and walked toward him but he didn't stop. Silas didn't even spare her a glance and moved past her to go to his room. He was hurt. He was not hurt because Grandmother Eloise had humiliated him in front of everyone. He was not hurt because she had hurt his ego. He was hurt because there was nothing in Sara's eyes when he turned around to look at her. The most painful moment in your life comes when you realize that no matter how much you love someone, no matter what you do for them, no matter what you endure for him, no matter if you even sacrifice your life for them... They are never going to love you back. Silas had realized this today. No matter what he did for her, she was never going to love him back. It was not her fault though. It was no one's fault except his own. Just as h
AUTHOR'S POV “ Who is this Grandfather and where is this home, Silas? ” Sara questioned truthfully instead of pretending to not know anything. She could investigate about it but she wanted to hear about it from Silas. Silas looked at her for longer than a moment. For once, he thought about telling her the truth like Grandfather Albert had suggested. “ Do you tell me everything? ” Silas counter questioned Sara who pursed her lips realizing that he wouldn't tell her anything. It was plausible though. She was not telling him anything about herself so he was not ready to tell her anything about himself. “ Don't tell me. I am not interested anymore. ” Sara knew she was lying and Silas too knew she was lying about this not interested part. The curiosity was clearly burning in her eyes and the need to get an answer out of him was stronger than ever but Sara d
AUTHOR'S POV Sara's eyes went wide as Silas's left hand made it's way behind her neck to pull her head closer and his right hand went down to pull her closer by her waist. He nibbled on her bottom lip, before dragging his warm and soft tongue over it to soothe the ache. Sara sighed against his lips as Silas kissed her softly and deeply. After a moment, he pulled away and rested his forehead against hers. He watched her red face after opening his eyes and brought his left hand up to brush her hair off her face. “ Now, we are even. ” He breathed out, his heart beating fast in his chest just like Sara's. Blinking her eyes open, Sara looked up and her nose touched his, making her gulp. “ Why do you always do... do this? ” Sara whispered out, confusion taking over her mind as her lips tingled slightly. “ Do what? ” Silas pushed her hair behind her ear,
AUTHOR'S POV “ What will become of us? ” Sara asked and turned to face him, her finding their way to his light brown orbs. “ I don't know. ” Silas breathed out, his heart skipping a beat at the unexpected question. Sara scrunched up her nose, her eyes narrowing down to glare at him. “ You should have known. ” A pout rested on her lips after she sighed dramatically and closed her eyes to probably find the answer in her heart. “ Of course. I should have known. ” Silas muttered to himself and turned over, his eyes fixed at the dark ceiling now. “ This is so frustrating. ” Sara opened her eyes after a while and stated before copying Silas and turning over to let her back sink in the soft mattress. “ It is. ” Silas agreed quietly and smiled to himself. A while ago, he felt so angry at Sara, at himself but all of it was gone now. The thought that Sara might be thinking about their relationship finally was eno

She walked toward him, a smile gracing her lips.“ How can you leave from outside? Don’t you want to see your Grandson? ” Sara reached him and grabbed his arm, her eyes filling up with tears.She forgave him. She forgave everyone a long time ago.She wanted those who cared about her to be a part of her life now. She knew her father was weak but he had loved her from the start. 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 POV“ Where is she? ” Silas asked Jake just as he picked up his call.Early in the morning, he left her home after giving her the card and it’s already 8 in the night but she hadn’t returned home.“ Shopping, Sir. ” Jake replied, grimly.“ Did she buy something? ” Silas loosened his tie and unbuttoned his top buttons after putting the phone on speaker and placed it down on the dressing table.“ We just got here. ” Jake sighed out, making Silas’s hands pause.“ Where was she since the morning? ” Silas felt dumbfounded.Suddenly, his phone dinged and he picked it up from the table to see the message. It was a withdrawal of 10,000,000.Silas stared at message as he heard what Jake was saying. “ After withdrawing money from the card, she donated it all. She gave me the card after that and now Ma’am is finally in
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

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.
