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

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 "Whoa, hold up! Leila, check this out!" My dad's booming voice echoed through the room, catching my mom's attention. She moved closer, taking the booklet from his grasp, her face etched with confusion. She glanced at him, bewildered. "When will you ever understand anything, Leila?" He snatched the booklet back and pointed to a section below. My mom's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?!" "Your son is at it again, up to some shady business," he growled. Anger flickered in my mom's eyes as she placed her hands on her hips. Meanwhile, I just sat on the couch, engrossed in the movie playing on my phone. Their arguments were a daily occurrence; I had grown immune to them. "Oh, now he's suddenly my son?" "You gave birth to him, didn't you?" "And you put him here, didn't you?" My mom yelled, pointing at her belly. "These two ancient beings never let me have any peace," I muttered, refusing to be bothered. Those two bickered and fought all the time, leaving me wondering how they

SARAH In Anthonio's office, we waited anxiously, my parents and I, hoping for a miracle. Anthonio finally waddled in, a repulsive sight, with his protruding belly threatening to burst. As he sluggishly made his way to his seat, his audible breath filled the room, grating on my already frayed nerves. But we had no choice but to endure; we needed his help, nothing more. "How may I be of help to you?," Anthonio's voice boomed, sounding like a gorilla in a bad temper. My father proceeded to recount the agonizing details of our bankrupt hotel, and surprisingly, Anthonio seemed genuinely interested. "I've heard all you said, and I'm going to help you out," came his abrupt response. Relief washed over my parents, their faces lit up with smiles, thinking that all our problems were about to disappear. "But... I have a condition," Anthonio interjected, crushing their hope-filled smiles. "There's a beautiful flower in your possession, and I'd like to have it," he continued, a smug look on
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 3
LEO "Enough with the nagging phone calls!" My mother just couldn't leave me alone about being late to my own wedding. But hey, I had no choice but to go through with it. Clara, the woman my mother had picked out for me, was waiting in the church, ready to become my wife. Now, I wasn't thrilled about marrying Clara. There were no sparks, no chemistry. So, in frustration, I grabbed my coat and bolted out of the house. No need for a best man, I thought. I hopped in my car and hit the road. As I drove down the highway, something caught my eye. It was a young lady in a wedding dress, waving her hands frantically. Why on earth was a bride stranded by the roadside? I couldn't just leave her there, so I pulled over. She sprinted towards me, struggling with her dress, and begged me for help. I was speechless, just staring at her in awe. She pleaded, tears streaming down her face, to get away from there. Without waiting for my response, she hopped into the car, urging me to drive. I was ta

SARAH I woke up to a startling splash of icy water on my body. My eyes shot open and there was Leo, standing there with a mischievous grin and a glass of water. I didn't have time to yell at him before he attempted to pour more water on me. I quickly sprang to my feet. "What the hell are you doing?" I exclaimed while wiping the water off my face. "It's morning, lazy bones. Time to get up and seize the day," Leo responded, his eyes scanning my body. I hurriedly adjusted my clothes, just in case he had any funny ideas in mind. "Whose clothes are these?" he pointed at my outfit. "I found them on the shelf," I answered. "Fine, get out of bed. We have things to do today," he reiterated, walking out this time. I reached for my phone, which had been turned off since the previous day. I transferred the pictures from the day before onto my phone and sent a few to my parents and Raya. Not long after, my phone buzzed with Raya's call. "Sarah, you scared me to death! I thought something h

LEO I never meant a word of what I said, but I had to convince my mom that I was truly married to Sarah. She stormed out of the house, disappointed in me. But I couldn't let Sarah go. We needed to keep up the charade or my mom would never give me a moment's peace. "I have to go, we're not married anyway. I have a job to get back to. Thanks for everything," Sarah said, breaking my heart. "You can stay with me at my place if you don't have anywhere else to go. Unless you want to go back to your old man," I begged, desperately trying to convince her to stay. "Thank you, but I can't," she objected, her voice filled with uncertainty. "What would you tell your parents when they found out it was all a lie? You can go to work from my place, I don't mind," I pressed, trying to sway her. She fell into silence, and it seemed like I was getting through to her. "Fine," she finally acquiesced. ***** We left for my house at noon. Sarah was unusually quiet during the journey, only speaking up
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 6
SARAHSleeping all through the journey, I found myself in front of another mansion. I sleepily opened my eyes and rubbed them with the back of my palms. I sat up and examined the environment."Oh my goodness!!" I exclaimed in awe, admiring the place.Leo was not seated on the driver's seat and I also could not find him anywhere around. Moments later, I could see him standing at the door of the entrance to the house, and it seemed like he was on a phone call. Suddenly, a young lady in her late 30s stepped out and hugged him. I instantly got annoyed, but I didn't know why."Don't be silly young lady, he's not your boyfriend, neither is he your husband" I cautioned myself and slapped my face.He began to approach me and I rested my head on the seat, pretending to be asleep. "Sleeping beauty" he called, gently knocking on the windscreen.I sharply opened my eyes as I thought my ears were not functioning properly"What did you say?" I asked, wanting to be sure of wha

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
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
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
