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 hAUTHOR'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
AUTHOR’S POV“ Home. ” Silas stopped by the door to say only this before he opened the door and left the room.Sara’s hands turned cold. Home? The same home he mentioned on the phone earlier?He wouldn’t really leave, right? She gulped, her hands beginning to tremble by her side. She just wanted him to stay out of her business. She didn’t want him to leave her.She took one step ahead wanting to go behind him and ask him to stay but then, her feet stopped on their own. If he was leaving on his own, she didn’t need to stop him.She didn’t have a reason for which she could want Silas to stay here.It was better if he left. All problems would be solved if he was not here anymore. Sara inhaled deeply and looked down at her bare feet.So, this was how it was supposed to turn out in the end.***Silas left the house and went straight to his own after hailing a ca

These questions kept her mind occupied all the time.When morning sun began shining in the sky, she got ready to go to the office, hoping that Silas would eventually come back.When she reached her own office, there was media blocking the entrance everywhere.Camelia had really caused some major problems for everyone. Sara was supposed to be happy about this too but she felt too numb.For her whole life, she had wanted to see them all crumbling down one after another and when one of them was down, knocking over the biggest suppor
AUTHOR’S POVGrandfather Albert insisted that Sara should meet his Grandson so she had to agree because they needed their help.What could go wrong with just meeting anyway? That’s what she thought.She just didn’t understand one thing. Why did Grandfather Albert wanted her to meet his Grandson? She guessed, she would find out once she met him.A week had passed since she talked to Albert Alexander. She was busy with Alexander project since then and Albert Alexander had never called her for the meeting with his Grandson.During this week, Silas didn’t return contrary to Sara’s expectations. She felt his absence deeply.Her heart ached. She could feel the itch in her mind. She wanted to see him, talk to him, see him.But, he was nowhere.Where did he even go? It was like Earth Split open and hid him inside.“ You called me, Ma’am? ” Liam entered her office a
AUTHOR’S POVThe Devil.It was not what she expected at all.He was average looking. He was sitting on the chair, staring up at her. He looked dumbfounded.Did she come to the wrong cabin?“ Sara. Please sit down. ” He gestured toward the chair and Sara pursed her lips.The man she had came across was not so strange but their voices matched perfectly.She didn’t focus on him much and walked toward the chair opposite him before lowering herself over it.Just get over with it and leave. That was her plan.“ It’s nice to finally see you with a face. ” Sara smiled awkwardly and sighed out.She was so bad at it.This was the man who knew everything she had done and who claimed to love her, yet she felt that this was not that man.He was different. In what sense? She couldn’t pinpoint yet.“ I already ordered the food. ” Th
AUTHOR’S POVWhen Sara noticed Silas finally walking toward her, she sighed out in relief. For a moment, she thought he was going to leave her like this.She guessed, she was wrong about him once again. Nothing new, anyway.Silas kept walking until he was standing by her head. Sara craned her neck back to look at his face but the pouring rain was not letting her keep her eyes open when she looked up.“ I hate rain… ” Sara mumbled under her breath, her voice disappearing behind the loud pitter – patter of rain.“ What’s your problem now? ” Silas pursed his lips, his eyes narrowing down to glare at her.She looked weird like this. Her clothes were soaked just like her body and hair that were sticking to her face.Silas refrained from looking at her for more than a moment. It was always dangerous looking at her.Earlier, Grandfather Albert tricked him into meeting h

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“ I am pregnant. ” Sara admitted, closing her eyes to avoid looking at Silas or Grandfather Albert.“ What? ” Silas whisper yelled, disbelief written all over his face.“ Are you deaf, Silas? ” Grandfather Albert was grinning ear to ear not feeling shocked at all. His Grandson had finally done something good.“ I mean – I… ” Silas didn’t know how to react. Now all her actions made sense to him.He was in shock but the moment the reality sank in, he blinked.Sudden delight hit his heart as he rushed toward Sara and grabbed her forearms while she was still keeping her eyes closed.She felt embarrassed after saying it out aloud and even in front of everyone.It turned out, all planning was in vain. Her plans never worked when it came to Silas Alexander.“ Is it true? Can you say it again? ” Silas grinned, his e
AUTHOR’S POV“ I can’t believe it. ” Silas shook his head for the nth time, standing in front of her in nothing but a towel wrapped around his torso.Sara tried not to laugh but he looked devastated by what happened earlier.“ I can’t believe you threw up on me! ” He pushed his hair back and grabbed the towel to dry them.After she vomited on him, he brought her home and instantly went to take a bath. In the meantime, Sara felt like throwing up again and she barged inside the bathroom without feeling the need to ask for his permission.As she was now unable to throw up, she sat on the basin counter just in case she was going to vomit again because she still felt nauseous.All the while, Silas was in the state of shock.“ I warned you. ” Sara shrugged her shoulders, a smile playing her lips.Silas threw her a side look and sighed out. “ Why are you not

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
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. Death was a sad phenomenon. After a while, Grandfather Magnus will be dead and that family was going to be destroyed. Nothing will be left of them.By then, Sara too wouldn’t have anyone by her sid
