Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 21
SARAH"I see you've found your way here." The menacing voice spoke. I quickly turned around and found a skinny, tall man. He looked nothing like how he sounded over the phone."What are you doing here?" He asked and began walking in my direction."You asked me to come. I'm here for Raya." The man stopped a few feet away from me and I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I turned, and my heart dropped. There, being dragged out from the shadows by two hulking men, was Raya. She was blindfolded and gagged, and she looked terrified.I felt like I couldn't breathe. "Raya!" I cried. I took a step forward, but the man moved faster. In a flash, he had a gun in his hand, and it was pointed at Raya. "No!" I cried out, my whole body shaking. "Please, don't hurt her!"I watched as Raya struggled to break free from the men holding her. But they were too strong, and she was no match for them. Suddenly, one of them kicked her in the stomach, and she fell to the groun

SARAHThe ambulance arrived at the hospital, and I followed the hospital attendants as they rushed Raya inside on a stretcher. I could see the urgency in their faces, and my heart sank as they wheeled Raya into the emergency room. The attendants shouted instructions to each other, and the room was filled with the sound of beeping machines and rushing footsteps. I tried to force my way into the operating room but one of the attendants held me out."Just wait outside and let us attend to her. We'll let you know of the outcome!" But I was too stubborn to listen. But then, Leo grabbed me from behind and drew me away from the ward as I struggled to free myself. The tears in my eyes were uncontrollably falling and my heart was heavy.I sat on the waiting bench, my hands soaked with Raya's blood. Negative thoughts began to ring in my head and I tried to fight the thoughts, believing that Raya would be fine.Lilian held my shoulders and spoke comforting words to my ea

LEOAs Sarah and I sat in the doctor's office, the doctor pulled a file out of his drawer and placed it on the desk in front of us. "These are the results of the latest tests we've run," he said, his tone serious. "I'm afraid it's not good news." We both exchanged a worried glance, and my heart sank. "What does it say?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "Raya is pregnant" he announced. "Raya's condition is complicated by the fact that she's pregnant," the doctor said, looking at both of us with sympathy. "We don't know how far along she is, or how the pregnancy will affect her coma. I'm afraid there's a lot of uncertainty here." "But, Sarah would have told me if she was pregnant. She's not into any relationship of any sort!" Sarah said, and she seemed confused, trying to fathom the possibility."She's 3 weeks gone and we just found out today." The doctor said. "The kidnappers.. they raped Raya!!." I could see the shock in Sarah's eyes. "I'm

SARAHAs I lay on the bed, I could hear the faint sound of a knock at the door. I was in no mood to answer, but the door opened regardless. It was Leo, looking sheepish and apologetic. "What are you doing here?" I snapped. "I'm so sorry to barge in like this." Leo stammered, his words tumbling out in a rush. "I just wanted to talk to you. Please, can you just hear me out?"My voice was barely audible, but I managed to speak, "I'm all ears, Leo." Leo let out a sigh of relief and sat on my bed. His eyes were glued to the ground and he didn't say a single word."I'm listening, Leo", I said, drawing back his attention. "I'm going to the hospital to run a DNA test on Clara. I need to know for sure if that baby is mine." Leo said, his voice shaking slightly. "If the baby is mine, I have to do what's right by it. I can't deny my flesh and blood." I just shook my head in agreement with whatever he said. Who was I to object? "It's fine. You should go." That was al

SARAH I paced the hospital corridor, my anxiety growing with each passing minute. I kept glancing at the door to Raya's ward, wondering what was going on inside. A few nurses hurried past me, their faces grim. I caught one of them by the arm. "What's happening?" I asked but the nurse gently released herself from my grip."Just calm down, we're doing our best." With that, the nurse dashed inside the Ward. The minutes ticked by slowly as I waited in the hospital's dimly lit waiting room. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting shadows on the walls. I sat on a hard plastic chair, my knees bouncing with nervous energy. Finally, the door opened and the doctor in blue scrubs emerged. I jumped to my feet. "Please, how is she?" I asked, my voice trembling. The doctor paused, his expression grave. I could tell by the look on his face that he was about to pass on some bad news, but I waved it off."Talk to me, Doctor!!!." I yelled impatiently."I'm sorry Sa

LEO"Leo, please come and help me out. I'm having a sharp pain in my waist and I can't bear it." It was Clara showcasing her dramatic abilities. Ever since her belly protruded, she would always find a way to get on my nerves.I was with Sarah in the living room, and she lay on my thighs as we watched a Television show together.Sarah's grief took a physical toll on her body. She lost her appetite, and her already slender frame became gaunt and fragile. She barely left her room, spending most of her days lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. When she did venture out, it was only to take short walks around the block, lost in her thoughts.I could see how much Sarah was suffering, and I knew I had to do something to help her. I took some time off work, to spend some time with her and to be by her side. We sat in the living room, watching a TV show when Clara distracted us with her annoying demands. I ignored her and kept watching the TV, but Sarah pinched me.

SARAHClara was wheeled into the ward on a gurney, her body limp and still. I stood frozen, watching as the gurney was pushed inside a ward. Guilt and fear twisted in my gut, and I couldn't take my eyes off Clara's prone form. "Oh God, what have I done?" I whispered, my voice breaking. With my eyes brimming with tears, I turned to Leo, who stood at a distance, and clung to him."Shh, it's going to be okay," Leo whispered, holding me tightly. "We don't know what's going to happen yet, so don't blame yourself for something that hasn't even happened. We'll get through this together." I nodded, trying to take comfort in his words. But the guilt still gnawed at me. Suddenly, I caught sight of his mother standing in the doorway and so, I drew away from him. His mother's eyes were cold and hard, and I felt a shiver of fear run down my spine. I knew I had crossed a line, and I braced myself for the coming confrontation. "Mum, I..." I began, but his mother cut me

LEOSarah paused, staring at me like she had seen a ghost."I... I'm sorry, what did you say?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper."I said, let's get married," I spoke firmly.Sarah's hand clutched the towel around her body and took a step back, putting a bit of distance between herself and me. "I... I don't understand," she stammered, shaking her head. "We... we've never even talked about getting married before." "I know Sarah," I said, getting on my feet."I've thought about this for a very long time, and I realized that it's the best thing to do.""Why Leo, why marry me?." Sarah asked."Well, at least you will have a ground here with the Limberts, just in case.""Do you only want to marry me because you feel sorry for me?" Sarah blurted out. "No, that's not it at all," I said in my most earnest voice."Then why would you bring up marriage all of a sudden?." She asked, crossing her arms across her bosom. "I'm in love with you, Sarah!."Sarah c

SARAH“What the hell are you doing?” I blurted out. I had been standing by the door, watching Emily tamper with Leo's drip. It looked suspicious.Emily quivered when she heard my voice. She turned to me with a scowl and snapped, “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m just fixing the drip pipe.”I walked into the ward, crossing my arms. “Since when did you become a doctor or a nurse to know how to handle drips?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.Emily shot me a glare and sat back gently on the chair, her hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly. Caro, who had been right behind me, quickly walked past me over to Emily. She grabbed Emily’s hand and held it tightly.“What are you hiding under your sleeve?” Caro demanded.Emily yanked her hand away and snapped, “I’m not hiding anything! Get out, both of you!”Suddenly, a nurse walked into the ward. “You all need to leave,” she said firmly. “You’re disturbing the patient. He needs to rest.”Emily stood up quickly. “Fine, I’ll leave. I’m t

SARAH I cried as Leo was wheeled away from me, his hand dangling off the stretcher. My hands were still sticky with his blood. "Please," I choked out to the nurse who held me back from following him."Please, I need to be with him."She gave my arm a gentle squeeze. "He's in the best hands, ma'am. We'll do our very best." But her words were drowned out by the roaring in my ears, the fear that clawed at my throat. What if their very best was not enough? The nurse left me then, and I crumpled to the floor, burying my face in my hands. Suddenly, a voice pierced through my despair. "Leo! Where's Leo?"I looked up and saw Emily. Her face was pale, her eyes wide with panic as she ran towards my direction. Her gaze fell on me and then on the bloodstains that marred my clothes. Her hand flew to her mouth to to hold herself from screaming as she stood motionless, staring at me with tears in her eyes. For a moment, I almost felt sorry for her. Almost.But then the memory of her bet
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 65
SARAHMy hands trembled as I gripped the steering wheel. The address Emma sent – a jumble of numbers and a street name I'd never heard of – was leading me further and further away from the city. Emma. Just the name sent a shiver down my spine. Not because she was scary, not exactly. But because of what she was capable of. What she threatened to do to Caro if I didn't follow her instructions to the letter. "Come alone, Sarah," her text message had read, the words burning themselves into my memory. "And don't even think about calling the police. You know what's at stake."The memory of Raya's kidnapping, years ago, flashed in my mind. The same feeling of helplessness, the same knot of fear twisting in my gut. But this time, it was my own daughter on the line. My beat-up Honda coughed its way to a stop in front of the address Emma had sent. No doubt about it, this was the place. Except "place" didn't quite cover it. It was more like a fortress. A ten-foot-tall iron gate blocked t
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 64
SARAH One morning, as I was getting ready for work, my daughter Caro showed up in her nightie, totally out of the blue. Normally, she'd be getting ready for school at this time. "Mum, I'll be going for a special trip today," Caro announced. "A trip?" I asked, confused. "Yes, it's an excursion for my class. Didn't I tell you about it a few weeks ago? And I'm sure they announced it in school too," Caro explained. Suddenly, it all came back to me. The principal had indeed mentioned something about the final year students going on an excursion. My head was already full with worry. She wouldn't blame for for being forgetful. "Alright, whatever," I managed to say, not bothering to inquire further about the details. I figured it was a school-related activity, so it should be safe enough to let her go. With that thought in mind, I rushed off to school as I was almost running late. I was in the middle of teaching my students when my phone rang, disrupting the class. It was the principal

SARAHI regretted being married to Leo. If only I had gotten along with Julian, my ex-boyfriend, things would have been different. But now, Leo canceled our joint accounts, leaving me and my kids in poverty. To survive, I had to be incredibly careful with money.The next few days were tough. Our son, Jake, came back home but he kept threatening to run away if Leo didn't come back too. No matter how much I pleaded with Jake to give his father more time, he didn't listen. It seemed like my words fell on deaf ears. I had no choice but to visit Leo at his office.I walked into his office nervously, with my heart pounding. I couldn't believe it had come to this. I had to confront him face-to-face and find a way to change his mind.In my best suit, a gift from Leo on my last birthday, I anxiously waited outside his office. Leo had been preoccupied with other people and made me wait. I wondered what to expect - the sympathetic Leo I've always known or a love-sick man? To my surprise, a cold

Jake slammed his hands on the table and glared at everyone. "I've lost my appetite!" he exclaimed, stood up and stormed out. "Me too," Caro added, and followed suit. "Don't worry about the kids, they'll come around," Mother-in-law said, clearly pleased with what Leo had said. My heart was heavy, my mind raced, and my thoughts were chaotic. Was Leo really talking about me? I couldn't even find the words to speak. "Why did you do that?" Lucas, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "What?" Leo pretended not to know. He looked at Emily, who was still standing beside Leo, but she seemed too clueless to understand his stare. "Leave now or you'll hate me forever!" Lucas's voice boomed, and she ran out without hesitation. "Why did you do that? I asked again!" Lucas demanded, now turning to face Leo. "He simply stated the truth," Mother-in-law defended Leo's actions. "What stupid truth?" Lucas yelled. "Even in front of the kids?" Leo walked out on us without saying a si

SARAHHer presence in our home was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. I couldn't stand the way she flaunted her body, desperately seeking attention from my husband, Leo. But I wasn't blind to her scheming ways, oh no, I saw right through her little game!On this particular day, Leo came home early, just as I was returning late from visiting a dear friend who had just given birth. And who do I find? None other than Emily, the vixen housekeeper, parading around in skimpy clothing that left nothing to the imagination.Her outfit was daring, to say the least. Her top, barely covering her ample bosom, and her shorts, hugging her curves as if they were painted on. It was clear that she was intentionally putting herself on display for Leo's eyes only.Fury boiled inside of me as I stepped in and saw her. How dare she disrespect me in my own home? I knew exactly what she was trying to do - seduce and steal my husband away from me. Well, she had another thing coming!I f

SARAH Leo was furious after Jake woke up. He had fainted while watering the flowers outside with his aunt Cora. Carolyn called me and informed me that Jake's medication was untouched and still sealed. This meant that he hadn't been taking his medicine."Do you even wish to live? If you truly wanted to survive your condition, you wouldn't have skipped your medication!" Leo shouted at Jake, who sat silently on his grandmother's bed.I enveloped Jake with my hands, as though shielding him from his father's angry outburst."What's the point of me existing, huh?" Jake asked, now looking up at his father."Don't say that, Jake," I whispered to him."I know I'm not your real son. I don't belong here."Leo, who had been yelling all this time, suddenly calmed down, realizing that the boy was revealing his inner truth."Grandma has told me countless times that no matter how hard I try, I'll never truly be accepted into this family."Just then, Lilian who had been out f
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 59
SARAHThe house appeared to be engulfed in flames. I couldn't think of anywhere Jake could be at that moment. Adding to the trouble, my mother-in-law seemed unconcerned about finding the boy.Leo grew impatient. It was the first time in years that he had the guts to stand up to his mother and express his disapproval."You're the reason that boy left this house. You've constantly filled his head with foolish and unnecessary lies!" he shouted at his mother."So, you're calling me an idiot?" she asked, pretending to be serious."That's not what I meant! You're twisting my words and I can't stand it when you do that!" he yelled even louder."Dad!" Caro called out, trying to stop her dad from yelling at Grandma."Shut up, Caro! Shut up and stay in your seat!" he snapped at Caro, now facing her directly. She stumbled and fearfully sat back in her chair."All of this is your fault too. You had a loving, caring brother, but you threw it all away because of some stupid
