Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 41
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
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 42
SARAH What a life I ended up with! I had always dreamed of a happy and peaceful marriage, but instead, I got stuck with a man who brings nothing but trouble. I sat in front of my dresser, looking at myself in the mirror. The reflection staring back at me was of a sad and struggling woman. I couldn't believe how my life had turned upside down in just a year. I wondered if things would ever get better. Suddenly, I heard a noise at the door. Someone was trying to get in, but I had locked it. "It's Leo, please open the door," his voice came through. "I don't want to talk to you right now, please go away," I replied calmly. Leo kept trying to get me to open up, but I refused. I went to bed without eating dinner and spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The next day, my father-in-law and Lilian's mother were going to the hospital to sign some papers before Lilian's surgery. I had prayed all night, hoping that everything would go well. ********* I went back to
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 43
SARAH"Why would you want to end it all, Sarah?" My cousin Emma questioned, carefully scrutinizing my body for any signs of harm."Listen, my dear, this world is far too sweet to let it slip away. Live as if your troubles don't exist," Emma insisted.I chuckled softly at her words."But Emma, there's nothing left for me to enjoy. My life is a chaotic mess, just look at me," I responded calmly."Even amidst the chaos, Sarah, it's never a valid reason to terminate your existence. There's no logical explanation for it!" Emma raised her voice. She stared at me, her eyes showing a glimmer of anger. If I were younger, I wouldn't put it past her to reprimand me for my insanity."Oh, please, Emma. I just needed some fresh air. I would never contemplate taking my own life. So don't get worked up about trivial matters." My words were meant to reassure her."Trivial matters? Is that what you call this?" She rolled her eyes in disbelief.Suddenly, Leo entered the room, hold

SARAH "I can't leave, Mom. I still have some things to take care of. Leo's place is close by anyways, so it's convenient for me to stay there," Lilian tried to explain to her mother, but her words fell on deaf ears."I refuse to believe that you've become so foolish ever since you started hanging out with that foolish brother of yours! You are not going back to that house, and that's final," her mother's words were authoritative.How did it come to this?Just moments after I arrived to visit Lilian, her mother barged in. Upon seeing me with her daughter, she flew into a rage and accused me again of poisoning Lilian. Insisting that Lilian must go home with her, she became increasingly aggressive.Lilian attempted to get up from her bed, but the pain from her recent surgery held her down."I am not a child anymore, Mom! I am a young woman with my own life to live. You cannot tell me what to do in this situation," Lilian opposed."Do you see what you've caused? As i
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 45
SARAH As I approached the house, a strange feeling began to settle within me. Emma, my cousin who would spend her evenings glued to the TV, was nowhere to be found. It felt as though the house had transformed into a graveyard.Ignoring the unsettling atmosphere, I made my way up the stairs. I could faintly hear whispers coming from Emma's room. She was probably on a phone call. As I approached, the door swung open, revealing a startled Emma."Hello, Cousin," she greeted, catching her breath and attempting to conceal her surprise."Where are you going?" I asked in curiosity. She stumbled over her words, trying to form a response. "Uhh... I'm just going to grab something from the nearby store. I'll be back in no time." I could see right through her lies.She started to rush past me down the stairs, but I held her back. "Are you going without your card or any cash?" I questioned.Her eyes widened in realization. "Oh, you're right. I should grab my card," she sai
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 46
LEO I was really tired after the day's work and needed to rest. But my dear wife was all worked up over her cousin, Emma. I opened the door and without uttering a word, Emma, rushed past me and headed straight to her room. Ignoring her, I threw myself on the couch and turned on the news. Moments later, Sarah soon joined me. "Just stay calm." She said to me. As if on cue, Emma came down the stairs like a raging lion. "Something is missing from my room!" she shouted, accusingly eyeing both of us. "Emma, it's past 9 p.m. Why are you yelling like a lunatic? What's gotten into you?" I fired back, annoyed. Sarah intervened, trying to dig deeper into the matter. "What exactly are you looking for, Emma?" "It's, uh...it's just..." Emma stammered, failing to provide a clear answer. "It doesn't have a name? Nothing specific?" I pressed further. "Forget it, it's not important anyway," Emma snapped, attempting to walk away. But Sarah's words stopped her in her tracks. "Could it be the

LILIANCora arrived at the hospital early the next morning, insisting that I go home with her. But I stood my ground convincing her that I wasn't done with what I had come there to do."You can stay in a hotel then," Cora said, still trying hard to convince me."No, not when my brother's house is just close by " I shook my head in disagreement.She however gave up, seeing that I was not going to do as she wanted.We arrived at Leo's house together, with Cora only coming along to ensure my safety. As we pulled up to the gate in her car, Leo emerged and greeted us warmly. Unsurprisingly, Cora rolled her eyes at him, clearly still harboring her dislike for Leo. "Welcome back Lily" Leo welcomed as he disappeared into the kitchen and returned with two glasses of steaming hot tea. "Please drink up, the both of you. Breakfast will soon be ready" he said with all smiles."Where is your wife?" I asked, sipping the tea as I hadn't seen her since I arrived."She still s
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 48
SARAHI was lying in the hospital bed, taking a rest after almost fainting at the police station. I stared up at the ceiling, lost in my thoughts about what the test results would reveal.Suddenly, the door swung open and Leo entered my ward. I could see a faint smile on his face and I wondered what would have made him smile after I had almost passed out at the police station."My love," he called and sat on my bed"How are you doing today?" He asked as he held my hands into his."I'm feeling better now," I replied softly.I noticed his smile growing bigger as he looked into my eyes."You've been smiling since you got here. What's the news?"He continued to hold on to one of my hands while reaching for the other and squeezing them both."It's not just news. It's big news" he emphasized the word "big"Wanting to know, I sat up so I could hear the full gist."I'm just coming from the doctor's office and he said… that… " he paused and winded his smiling face.I

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

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
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 63
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
