Michael's POV

"Why won't she pick up?", I growled, throwing my phone onto my couch. I threw myself onto the other couch, sighing heavily. My jacket hung on the backrest, as well as my tie. I unbuttoned my white shirt slightly, deep in thoughts.

"Monsieur, what's wrong?", Gerard came out of the laundry room and went to me with a worried frown.

"Ask me something easier, mon ami", I mumbled, throwing my hand over my eyes.

"Judging from your question earlier, you have a girlfriend?"

"Again", I laughed. "Ask me something easier."

"Are you hungry? Marie made dinner."

I got up and he stepped aside. "Have you eaten?"

"I waited for you."

"Let's eat then."

Gerard and Marie were my servants ever since I was a little child. They had originally been my mother's, but the moment I had been born, she had pressed me into their arms, so she could work again. She had done the same three years later with Léon Clement, and 9 years later with Sébastien Adrien. My youngest brother had been a futile attempt

    I tore my clothes off the hook, slipped into my pants and shirt, cursing loudly."Where are you going at this hour?", Marie called after me, stopping her knitting.I grabbed a jacket as I went to the door and threw it on. "Making things right with Sara. Don't wait for me. Go to bed, Marie.""Not until you are back", she got up and pressed a kiss on my cheek. "Drive carefully, ok? And greet your girlfriend for me. You can do it.""Thanks, ma."I knocked harshly. Once. Twice. Thrice.I lifted my fist again."Michael? What are you doing here?", Sara gawked at me."I told you I'll come over."We stared at each other.She slammed the door close."I'm not leaving until we've talked, Sara!"Sara locked the door. "Go home Michael. I don't have time for you.""Oh, believe me, I do." I laid my jacket in front of her door and sat down. "I have the whole night long!""... You aren't camping really in front of the door, are you?" "Try me."For a long while, it stayed quiet.I heard her go away wit

    Sara's POVMy eyes fluttered open at the light that was coming in through my windows, and I almost groaned in frustration.Almost.My breath stocked as my eyes spotted a Greek god resting beside me.His chest was softly rising up and down. His breathing was even and low.The sunlight didn't bother me. The noises of New York's always busy street didn't get to me. The snowstorm outside didn't make me dread the upcoming day at all.I was warm, so, so unbelievingly warm on the inside.I pressed my cheek more into my hands next to me, eyeing Michael as long as I had the chance to.When had he become so handsome? Was it overnight?His blond hair had fallen onto his forehead, giving him a messy vibe that was so unusual for his always well-kept style. It suited him. My hand twitched forward to brush his wavy strands of hair back, but I kept that desire back. I didn't want to wake him up.Not yet.Michael's face was so peaceful as he slept, it made me nuzzle more into his chest with a content

    I couldn't just lie still anymore.I brushed a few strands back and his eyes fluttered open."Sara", his raspy morning voice sounded. I screamed on the inside. He looked at me, then smiled as he remembered where he was. "Morning baby." His voice was deeper than usual and made me cross my legs. Oh god, why can't I just be divorced already?"Good morning", I responded, my voice a few octaves too high. I kissed his nose and he nuzzled more into bed. He fell asleep again. Astonished, I watched his chest rise and fall again.I flipped over to my side and checked the time. 5:20. I had forty more minutes until I had to get up and get ready.Outside it was still snowing. Michael grumbled in his sleep and opened his eyes. "Back", he commanded shortly. I snuggled into his arms eagerly. He fell right back asleep.For some time, we stayed like that.I listened to his even breathing, to the loud snow outside. Nothing could have sounded more beautiful at the moment.Was I falling for him?Michael s

    Léon's POV"Léon, Estelle and Adrien don't want to eat without you!", Rebecca called from the kitchen. I glanced back to the dining room and smiled at my two little monkeys as they raised their children's cutlery at me. "I'll be there in a minute!", I promised them.I quickly sent Michaël a text message after his sudden call. It was 6:30 am in Avignon, which meant it must be 12:30 pm in New York. Mother had been there early for her standards.Pale, petite arms wrapped around my back. "What's wrong? You never let the kids wait." "It was Michaël", I lifted my head to see my wife properly. If there was one thing Michael had always stubbornly insisted in, then it was to have eye-contact with the person you spoke to.Rebecca knew. "Why was your mother there?" "I don't know", I got up from my crouching position and left my phone on the ground for it to charge – this time without a code. Estelle had managed to disable it for 10 hours the last time I had my phone on the ground like this."

    I booked the hotel', Michael wrote me. I checked the info he sent. One double bedroom ... ok, Sara, breathe. He slept with you in a bed already. You can move it apart and if that's not possible, you can sleep on the couch. 'Thank you.' 'The flying ticket is booked too.' 'Again, thank you.' 'Come up to my office.' I knocked once, and his voice loudly rumbled through the door. Once I entered, I spotted him leaning against his desk, hands in his pants and his jacket on his chair. Michael's hair was tussled but still looked stylish. Actually, the not perfect styled hair made him look younger, almost a boyish handsome. "I wanted to give you the list you'll need for the weekend. It's about the files I'll need." I took it from his hands carefully. "Are you angry you have to come along?" "No ... I'm nervous." "What about? It's a business trip." "But still ..." "We slept in a bed together. I thought you wouldn't mind repeating it." He brushed my hair back with a smile. "I'm not

I would have burned them if I had a fucking lighter.I threw away the clothes he had seen me in. I threw away the clothes he had touched on me. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Like him. Like that fucking liar.I blocked his number.I threw everything away that was related to him in any sort of way:The stuff from work, the mug he had used after breakfast, the plate he had used, the shower stuff he had touched, the newspaper he had red; anything that I remembered about him, anything my fingers crawled onto I threw away, destroyed or yelled at.But only myself I couldn't throw away. So, I needed to distance myself as far away from him as I could.I took a sponge and scrubbed the spots he had kissed and touched until my skin was red and hurt at every movement.

He hadn't done anything. He hadn't said anything, why was she so angry at him? He cursed Eleanor's existence to mud, running his hand through his already messy hair and stalked down the corridor to his office.Usually the modern, simple kept offices, walls and corridors made him feel proud, were inviting and warm, but lately it left him empty and bland.They were nothing without her, nothing without her laughter echoing down the halls, nothing without her next to him, discussing the marketing ploy for a company regarding their credit.Mrs Flink rushed out the office with the files he had given her this morning.

    I took a deep breath, catching his eyes. I knew the text by heart, so I just looked at him and forgot the paper in my hands."You were there when I needed you the most, at the hospital, as I recovered, and that twice. You tried your hardest to make me happy, you nearly broke your back in exhaustion but kept going. You stuck around and loved me with the same intensity. Just thinking about you makes me smile, seeing you happy makes me happy, seeing you sad makes me sad. And when you smile at me as if I were the only woman on this world, the best thing that could have happened to you, as if I were the biggest achievement of it all, one corner of your mouth always higher than the other, it's always the right one, with your dimples showing - my heart swells up with love and feels like it could explode. Even now, so many memories later."Michael cried silently with a smile. I wiped his tears away, continuing to speak."Life with you seems so much more intriguing and promising." My own voice

    I mouthed and mouthed compliments to her, until she was beaming again and walking with a raised head.I heard dad laugh, but I couldn't stop staring at Sara - the rest of the room and people were pale, grey, boring compared to her. It disappeared in a blur, while all of my senses sharpened on her.And as she stood in front of me, I whispered: "Beautiful. Perfect." I took her hands. I needed to hold her, or else I would go insane. I leaned forward to this angel, almost not daring to move as if she could vanish suddenly, holding my breath at this perfect being that was really my wife! "I wish I could kiss you already", I whispered.Sara's cheeks and ear flushed and she leaned forward, making our foreheads touch. Her eyes were full of an expression that said 'do it'. And I nearly did, hadn't the woman spoken.And then - long minutes and many tears later, we were proclaimed as husband and wife - and I could finally, finally! kiss her.And I did. I poured all of my love into the kiss - an

Everything was organized, ready for the big day, waiting for us.We both had finished seeing our therapist, Sara just a few minutes ago. I had picked her up and let her drive us here, to surprise her.

    He had styled his hair how I loved it - with the curl falling onto his handsome face, the rest of his waves brushed back loosely. He looked as always proper and delicious in his suit - he had chosen a dark grey colour, a grey tie and a blush pink handkerchief to fit our theme; of course he thought of everything, my clever man!I spotted how he swallowed, how he beamed, how he bobbed his feet up and down in his excitement, how he wiped his eyes once again.Faster, faster, faster!Why was this aisle so damn long?Michael winked at me as he spotted how impatient I got. 'Love you', he mouthed.My heart was melting with love.Finally - finally we reached him. Dad hugged me, kissed my cheek.Then Michael and dad patted each other on the shoulder, then hugged.

    Mum spotted my reaction and leaned over, whispering sweetly into my ear. "I think it was worth going out today."I nodded as she kissed my hair, tears blurring my vision.Maybe this was a sign that I would be awarded if I stepped out. Maybe this was a sign that not everything was cruel.I thought of Michael. I thought of how I sat close to him at work with another two friends close to me, friends I could trust and I knew had visited me during my unconscious time in the hospital.My lips trembled. I wanted to show Michael this dress. I wanted to show him what had made this day so special, besides waking up next to him.Betty and Olive, the two more than helpful female employees, helped me yet again in this dress and as Betty buttoned it up, Olive's eyes shone. "This is your dress, isn't it?"I looked at the small mirror in the changing room, my bottom lip shaking heavily.Who was this woman in the mirror? She was breathing taking with her big eyes and square face, with the hourglass bo

    He talked to me about the wedding to cheer me up. He talked to me about our nephew and nieces, showed me videos of Adrien, Estelle and Sara. He talked to me about our babies and how the incident had only made his protective manner grow, and he showed that without a doubt.His hand quickly laid over my body when Hector got too close. When someone came in unannounced, he sent a death glare towards the door.The way he talked to me though, with this softness and this new-found love, only made me suspect more that he wanted a baby even more quickly.It was a nice technique to make me forget about my aching body, I must admit. And I let myself be endorsed in the baby talk, in the name choosing, in how the baby would change our lives - because honestly? After what had happened, I wanted to make the most out of my life. I wanted to have a baby with him.I wanted to live. I wanted to make the world a happy and safe place for my babies. I want to have all of Michael's babies and put more 'us'

"Are you awake Ms Basic?"I nodded, my head gradually starting to hurt.I weakly raised my arm, still disorientated where I was, who I was, what day and time it was?With my hand, I shielded my eyes from the harsh light and slowly opened them.Wait, I could move my hands?"Where ... am I?", I coughed, my throat dry."In the hospital, Ms Basic. Your fiancé brought you here after you were held hostage", the man explained. I turned my head slightly to see his coat.This was my doctor?Another hand moved around my body. I turned to see the light rose outfit of the nurse.I was in a hospital room ...?But that means - I had been rescued!

The wet sound echoed in my ear.My body had grown numb and cold to the pain once he stopped stabbing me.My vision only got worse.The corners turned black.I had trouble staying conscious.I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep."Why would you call him!?", Noah yelled. He grabbed my head. Everything was spinning. "Why why why? Why do keep on clinging onto him!? Is it because he has more money? Is it because he is a shameless flirt!? Is it because both of you are divorced!?"Noah grabbed a good chunk of my hair and with a swift swipe, cut off half my hair.He let my own hair fall onto me."I'll derange so much he won't love you anymore!", Noah yelled, his voice breaking. "And then I'll kill you - because you know what? A whore like you isn't worth this pain! If I can't have you, nobody can have you!"Noah cut off the other half of my hair."The more I look at you, the more

    Sara's POVNoah's tongue slipped out of my mouth, causing blood and saliva to drip out my mouth, running down my chin.My ex-husband, my abductor, stepped back with a fond smile. His eyes ... they were filled with love. With love?Every core of my body grew disgusted at this realization. What a sick fucker! Did he enjoy torturing me? How could he like something so grotesque?!With every second he kept me here, the more the man I had loved disappeared from my memories. As if the old Noah distanced himself or was being replaced with this abusive psycho.Whatever I had once felt to him - those feelings and memories felt foreign right now, unfamiliar, disgusting, vile. Why had I wasted over four years with you? Why hadn't it been Michael who I could have met at my university?
