Bella has grown up seeing Pam always around, and I don’t remember even a single time she has not been there with us. So, I know it won’t be easy for both girls to stay apart; it will be difficult for them to understand the situation either. "But soon Pam can visit us," I said to lighten their mood a little. "But I want her to come with us, mommy." She said this while pouting her cute little lips. "Not today, darling, but I promise I will call her there soon," I said while walking out to avoid her. "Ok, mommy." I heard her whisper, and I know she was beyond sad. I saw a line of cars standing at my door, and that kind of gave me nostalgia. Gulping my waving emotion, I walk towards the cars, as I do not know in which car. I have to sit, but Nora opens the door, and that was a clear sign I have to sit there. Someone ran towards me and asked for the bag I had in my hand, and I gave it to him as it wasn’t light either. I noticed there was already a booster seat attached in the car f
SARAH POV I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t realize I was still standing on the porch. "Mam." I looked at the side from which I got the voice and saw that Nora was looking at me with some concern. "Are you alright?" He asked again. I again looked around and looked back at him and nodded in agreement, and then I felt a little wetness in my eyes, but ignoring his look, I started walking inside the house. Cleaning my tears, I again walk on a known path, and with time, I can see nothing has changed here. Things are as they are. Same beautiful, neat, and clean. I saw a few houses; help was doing their work and bowed to me, noticing my presence, and I replied the same politely with a small smile. I looked around to catch a glimpse of Sean, but I did not find him at all. ‘What should I do? Should I go to his room? As it was clear in the contract, I have to stay with him, or should I look for Bella’s room first? ‘But again, where is her room?’ I was again lost in my thoughts
"I will tell you everything, but first you freshen up a little, and let’s eat something." I changed the topic, and she nodded like an obedient child. "The bathroom is on that side now. Hurry," I said while getting up from the bed. And she jumped and ran towards the washroom. After she came back, we both walked down and padded towards the kitchen. Bella could not hide her excitement as she loved this place, and while walking to the kitchen, her blabbering was on constantly. I noticed a chef standing at the counter and preparing some cupcakes. "Good evening, Madam." He instantly bowed down and wished me well the moment he noticed my presence.From the accent, I can say he has a thick European accent. "Good evening. Can you give me a kitchen for some time? I want to make something for her." I said this while tilting my head towards Bella. "Mom, I have already prepared cupcakes for baby Bella. Just icing is left, which I did not do as I wanted to know her preference." He said this wh
Next, I noticed the room lit up, and his face had a different smirk. A smirk of arrogance about how he is an expert in everything he does. A smirk of pride, the way he made me feel with little effort A smirk of cunning, how he knows me and my body. Tears of anger left my eyes, and I just wanted to kill this person right at this moment. "How dare you touch me like that? Don’t forget, I am not your wife anymore." I seethed on top of my voice. He got up from the bed and started unbuttoning his shirt, giving me a look as if he didn’t care. "Who knows better than you how I touch MY WIFE? But are we forgetting you are my slave, hmmm, not my darling, not my innocent wife, hmm?’’ After throwing his shirt to the floor, he took one strike, and he was standing in front of me. My entire existence shivered to hear his mockery. "You know what slaves do?" He asked while pulling me and locking me into his arms, and my hand found his chest to keep some space between us. I looked into his eyes
Cleaning his mouth with a napkin elegantly, he looked and walked towards me and bent down to me, saying, "Good choice... Make something light for me for dinner; later, add sugar. Saying that, he packed on my wet lips and left the room, and I dropped my head on the table and cried hysterically. Why..why..why. Why does God always play with my emotions? Can’t he see how cruel people are? How cruel are they to me? Getting up from the chair, I walk out towards the garden, using the patio attached to the dining room. If nothing else, then fresh air will surely help, and at least I can cry here without worrying if someone will see my vulnerable state. I don’t know how long I have been walking, but finally I reach the small pond where a few swans are roaming around. I noticed a few additions to the rabbit family, and looking at the small babies made me smile a little. ‘Bella will be so happy to see them. I should bring her here.’ I turned around but stopped when the phone rang, and lo
I have never left Bella with anyone except Natalia and Simi. I don’t know whether I can trust Alvera with Bella. She looked nice and was very reliable, so Sean must have kept her in the house. I still need to ask Bella what she thinks and whether she is comfortable. "Bella darling, I have to go out to get something. Can you be with Alvera for some time?" I asked, looking at Bella. "Sure Mommy." She again got busy with her food, so it’s clear to me that Bella trusts her and will be comfortable with her. So, I walked towards my room to get my bag and walked out and noticed Nora was standing at the car, and the moment he noticed my presence, he opened the door for me after nodding towards me. I replied with a small smile and settled myself in it, and after a few seconds, we were off to a place I don’t know yet. But I believe Sean has already instructed Nora, so he will take the place I need to be so I don’t have to worry about anything. Hence, my whole concentration was on the road.
SARAH’S POV "Ivan," I said when I noticed he was standing at the tomb with some flowers in his hand.Rose." He turned around, looking all shocked, and came towards me before I walked to him."What are you doing here?" He said this, looking here and there."I just came here to see Granny," I said, but, well, I don’t have to ask him what he is doing here because I am sure he must be here to see his wife."When did you come to New York, where are you staying, and why didn’t you tell me about this?" He said that, looking concerned.I have never told him who my husband is or what my real full name is, or, to be precise, my surname. He knows my name is Sarah, but she knows nothing more than that, and I am not interested in telling him anything either."Well, there is a long story, but don’t worry, I am fine," I said with a small smile."And Bella, where is she and how’s she? And where are you guys staying?’ He asked a few more questions, which I want to avoid right now. I mean, I surely w
After 45 minutes, we reached the place. I saw the media was all set to click the pictures, and I rolled my eyes, looking at them. Gosh, how much I hate it, but thankfully Sean is here, and I know he will manage things. Here." I look toward him, hearing his voice. I notice a phone in his hand, and I again look up in a questioning manner. "This is your phone," he said. "But I have a phone." I showed him the phone, but he stared at my hand and spoke "You had. Now use this one, and please remove this cheap-looking ring from your hand. I have a reputation to uphold here. Now get out of the car." I look down at my finger, and before I know it's out of my hand, he gives it to Nora. I felt a little bad as this ring belongs to the late wife of Ivan, and he has given it to me until he finds someone in his life. But in actuality, this ring used to remind him of his late wife, and he wanted to move on in his life, and this ring was a big hindrance as he always felt he was betraying his lat
