Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 34
SARAHThe meeting room was sleek and modern, filled with an air of anticipation. The Investors for the highly regarded "World Changers' project were seated around a polished oak table. Their restlessness was palpable, evident from the tapping of fingers and occasional signs of impatience.Leo sat nervously on his chair, fidgeting with the corner of his notebook. He glanced at his watch, then at the empty seat beside him. I sat beside him, trying to hide my own growing anxiety.A middle-aged man with a strict demeanor, Mr. Pete, who was one of the investors for the project, leaned forward and glared at his watch."Where is Clara? This meeting was supposed to start twenty minutes ago." He spoke under his breath. Leo made uncomfortable shifts as the tension in the room increased. He cleared his throat, attempting to break the silence."Mr. Pete," his voice trembled slightly, "I apologize for the delay. Clara will be here any moment, I promise. Can we please give

SARAH"Come on, Sarah!"Emma swiftly plopped herself down on the couch, shaking her legs like a child fueled with an incredulous secret waiting to be shared. She beamed at me, unable to contain her excitement for a moment longer."You won't believe it! Mom said I could come visit you for the whole weekend! Just me, without anybody else!" Emma's words bounced around the room.Emma looked around the house, admiring and touching everything that her hands could lay on. She touched a flower vase by the side, and there it went, crashing on the floor."Oops!" Emma gasped, her eyes wide with surprise, as she stared at the shattered pieces of the flower vase lying on the floor."Why would my mother say that? I'm a married woman, for goodness sake!!" I yelled.Emma's eyes widened, and she staggered slightly, the words crashing into her like a tidal wave."M-married?" Emma stammered, a mix of surprise and confusion etching across her face. "Wow, Sarah, congratulations! I
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 36
SARAHI busily bustled around the kitchen, trying to balance multiple tasks—cooking and washing the dishes. The delicious aroma of a home-cooked meal filled the air, and my passion for cooking was evident in the way I was bent on finishing the cooking, even though I was tired. As the clinking and clanking of utensils and dishes echoed through the kitchen, my mind was focused solely on preparing the perfect dinner for my new-found crazy family.After what felt like hours of cooking, I finally managed to complete one of my signature dishes: a creamy pasta with succulent pieces of grilled chicken. I made my way towards the dining area, holding a tray full of steaming plates of food.As I entered the dining room, my eyes widened in surprise. There was my cousin Emma, sitting at the far end of the dining table, with Clara's adorable baby boy cradled in her arms. The two of them were gleefully engaged in a playful game of peek-a-boo, and my heart skipped a beat."Emm
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 37
LEOI stood in front of the imposing police station building, my heart pounding with anticipation. The last few months have been a whirlwind of emotions for my wife, ever since the tragic death of her friend, Raya.Taking a deep breath, I hesitantly approached the officer stationed at the front desk. The officer, a burly man with a stern expression, looked up from his paperwork as I tentatively spoke up."Excuse me, officer," I said, my voice quivering slightly. "I was wondering if I could speak to Officer Nathan. Is he available?"The officer's gaze shifted to me, his eyes narrowing for a moment as he sized up the young me standing before him."Officer Nathan, huh?" He grumbled, clearly unimpressed. "Yeah, he's in his office. Take a left here and go straight down the hallway. It's the last door on the right."I nodded gratefully, my anxiety ebbing slightly at the officer's response. I followed the directions, making my way through the buzzing station. The

SARAH"What is this?" Leo asked, flinging the test results on Clara's face.Clara stood before Leo, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she tried to gather her thoughts. The weight of the situation bore heavily on her, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. Leo's eyes bore into Clara's, waiting for her to speak, but she went instantly dumb. Finally, Clara took a deep breath and attempted to speak, but she found herself stammering. "Leo, I... I don't know how it happened. The test results... they... they came back like that. But I...I swear, It has nothing to do with me. Something must have gone wrong in the lab... or maybe it was a mistake. I just don't know.""And you want me to believe that?" Clara just shook her head, her eyes were filled with tears as she held her mouth tightly with her hands, to prevent herself from screaming."How then do you explain these results, stating clearly that Jake is O-Negative?""It's possible Leo, it can

LEO."Another crazy woman?" Lilian's eyes were fixed on Emma, and her irritation could not be hidden."Why do you always have crazy women around you? Who's she anyway?""She's…." I tried to speak, but Emma's thunderous voice almost threw me off."Do I look like I'm crazy? How dare you?" Emma charged towards Lilian, but Sarah seemed strong enough to hold her back."Emma, please stop. That's my sister-in-law!" Sarah yelled, dragging Emma to the end of the living room.Ignoring all that just surfaced, Lilian grabbed my hand and drew me to the other end."You told me something about Raya's case, but I didn't grab anything from what you said.""We got the wrong girl," I told her."The main culprit is still out there.""How did it happen? I still don't get it." She asked, still confused about my explanation."Both of them are twins, and so the police arrested the wrong 'Isabelle'. I requested her release already."Lilian took a deep breath and looked around the hous
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 40
SARAHI stood anxiously by the corridor of the hospital. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I had been pacing back and forth for what felt like hours, and my mind was consumed with worry for Lilian. Lilian had been rushed to the hospital earlier that day, and the uncertainty of her condition was torturing me.Walking restlessly back and forth, my eyes darted towards the entrance anxiously, praying for any news about Lilian. The corridor was bustling with activity; doctors and nurses were hurriedly going about their duties, but I felt completely helpless.Suddenly, as if being pulled back to reality, I felt a strong hand grab my own. Startled, I turned to see a woman standing beside me. Without a word, the woman shook my hand firmly; her grip was tight."I need you to understand something, young lady," she said, her voice strained. "If anything happens to my daughter, I won't take it lightly.I was surprised at the woman's words. Like, who the hell was s

LEO."You think I'm stupid? Is that what you think of me?" I was so mad at this moment. Clara wasn't helping matters either."I don't know what you're talking about Leo. I would never do that." Clara defended, but I was not going to buy that."I know what you're capable of, Clara, and I'm very sure you poisoned the juice!"Clara chuckled, probably because I sounded unbelievable."And you think I poisoned it, knowing fully well that you could also drink it? Come on, you're going too far on this! ""You're the reason Lilian would be going under the knife. Count your stars and thank them that Lilian has refused to involve the police." My right index finger pointed towards her." I didn't do it, Leo, why can't you believe me?" She asked, looking all innocent."What is this?" I asked, raising the napkin Sarah got in the kitchen before the incident."That's Jake's napkin. What are you doing with it?" The surprise was evident in her eyes and the way she stared at m

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
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 66
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
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 61
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
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 60
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
