AUTHOR'S POVStanding in front of the huge mirror, Sara stared at herself blankly. She was wearing a princess white wedding dress that was trailing behind her. Its sparkling upper part hugged her body perfectly and flowed at the end. When she moved, it felt like tiny stars were moving behind her.Slowly, her eyes met hers in the reflection and she noticed the emotion in them.Helplessness - It was pure helplessness and hate.Hate for herself, her family and the man she was going to marry today.A week ago, when Grandfather Magnus announced that she would have to marry that man, she protested her best internally, as she was unable to say anything to him.Her father looked defeated, as she stared in his eyes with hope. A hope that he would save her from such a cruel decision, but as usual, he didn't say anything.He didn't protect her like any father was supposed to do.He didn't raise his voice for her as any fa
AUTHOR'S POVEverything happened so fast that Sara felt her head spinning. Silas and Sara were now in the reception party, which looked more like a funeral of herself to her.The smiling and taunting faces of all her family during clicking the pictures, were going to haunt her forever. Silas was standing beside her with his expressions screaming his boredom. The photographer asked them both to come closer, so he could click some loving pictures, which was like someone rubbed salt on Sara's wounds.“ Come on, Dear wife! ” Silas's mocking voice fell in Sara's ears and she threw him a vicious glare, before storming off from there. She did not care what anyone was going to think, she just wanted to be away from him at this point.Dodging every provocation from her so-called family, Sara finally made it to the dinner without having any panic attacks or outbursts.As they all sat down on the long table, the grim s
AUTHOR'S POV~FLASHBACKHe pulled her to a room on the top floor of the club. She didn't even know that rooms like this existed here. She didn't care at this moment either.He abruptly turned her around and pulled her towards him with her soft body colliding with his hard one, making her breath hitch.Without giving her the time to process anything, he smashed his lips over hers and she moaned out with her hands shooting up to grab and pull at his soft light brown hairs.He started pushing her backward until the back of her legs hit the bed and she fell down along with him falling on top of her. He pulled away only to lean down again to capture her lips in an aggressive kiss. Sara wanted to stop him, but her body wanted him badly.Desire won over her tiny rational thoughts and she let him do whatever he wanted to do with her.He sucked on her lower lip and his teeth slowly nibbled on
AUTHOR'S POV Sara's breath hitched as she pushed him away from herself harshly. “ Why are you looking at me like this? ” Silas chuckled out and Sara gulped down her saliva before stumbling back from him. It would have been better if she never remembered that night. Because, now, It might be too hard to stay so close to him without losing her sanity. “ Stay far away from me. As far as you can. I don't care what you are and who you are at all. ” Sara shook her head, her voice not that harsh anymore. Silas watched her. Silently. He observed her cheeks that were turning red, her nose that took the same color. He stared in her eyes that were cast down as she slowly licked her lips. If he did not know better, he would have thought that she wanted him. Or maybe he did not know her at all. A smirk tugged up at the corner of his lips thinking about the poss

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
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
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
