Sara's POV

Gordes

Michael's bedroom

4 am

Michael and I exchanged a tired glance as Esi tossed yet again in her sleep.

I now understood why Michael had groaned in protest and why Leon and Rebecca had giggled so gleefully - Estelle was a rowdy sleeper, just like Emma had once been.

She tossed in her sleep. Never laid still. And this had been going on since 10 pm.

One minute she'll slap her hand or arm on your face, the other she will kick you in the rib, or her little body will be spread across you, not allowing you to move. If you fell asleep, she made sure to kick you awake. The times I flinched or jolted awake this night were uncountable.

Estelle rolled into the middle, lying on her side, her legs stretched apart, her little mouth open as she was breathing.

We both laid a hand on her stomach, patting her softly. Esi stopped tossing for a few seconds. We tiredly sighed with a weak smile on our faces. Michael puffed his cheeks and widened his eyes, silently conveying 'that was a handfu

    My shoulders sunk in disbelieve - but then I remembered at home in Bosnia, in our small village, time also seemed to go by so much slower. Our home was also old fashioned, just like Marthe's house. No dishwasher, many tasks done by hand, coffee you had to cook on the stove yourself, a fireplace you regularly had to check on (which we naturally didn't use in the heat of the summer), the old gas stove you had to play with until it worked, the self cut wood and much more.This home wasn't any different than the one I had visited every summer with my parents, meaning that the most interesting stories and activities came from the people themselves.Victor was in his office, so I wouldn't bother him now. Rebecca and Leon were left.I went out to the hallway, seeing Leon help the children get into their shoes."Where are you three of to?", I asked, drying my hands on the washing cloth."The kids wanted ice", Leon told me with a smile. He took their hands. "Want to come along?"I thought abou

    Sara's POVRebecca scanned the pictures I showed her intently, taking her time to point things out she noticed wouldn't be that good or that she found quite cute.I showed her room for room what I imagined would look good. "I haven't shown these Michael yet; we both know we love a farmhouse vibe with a rustic, modern touch to it. It should feel cozy, inviting and we would like it to look good. For the living room, I imagined something like these", I scrolled through pinterest on Michael's phone, continuing my explanation. "I think a light brown, grey and black colour scheme would go great - see?""They used different textures in all of these", Rebecca noticed, her eyes darting across the many pictures. "I don't recommend a light coloured couch if you really want to have children soon, it will just get dirty and those are hard to clean - except if you buy a material that is easy cleanable, which I don't know if that exists.""I do prefer the grey ones", I told her. "And I like these mo

    "I hope so", Sara giggled excitedly.I knew that giggle. "You talked about having children", I stated, laughing at the memories that came to my mind. Victor and I had been all giggly after we had talked about having children. "Tell me your plan - Michael surely has one.""Well we did talk about having them in the future and when we should start having them", Sara agreed, trailing off."Typical Michael", I rolled my eyes and had to laugh at how typical that is of him. "Knowing him he even said the time when things would take place."I had to laugh as she got red again, shaking her head heavily. So easy to make fun of, bless her heart.The door twisted open, our heavy keys rattling loudly with it and two little children ran inside the home. Esi was glued to our feet seconds later.Sara bent down to hug her tightly.Leon came to us and took a seat at the table, motioning us to quiet our voices. "Becca is sleeping.""I would too!", I huffed. "8 months pregnant in such a heat! You wouldn't

    "Good job", Leon stood by the door frame, smiling tiredly."Thank you", I placed Estelle back down in her chair. "Coffee?""Please", Leon rubbed his eyes, went over to Esi and Adrien to kiss their heads. "Oh, braids!""Tatie did!", Esi explained with a smile, snotty and with drying tears on her face. Leon wiped those away. "How nice of tatie."Rebecca joined too, sitting down between her babies. "What do you want Becca? Tea?", I asked her over my shoulders."If you don't mind, then yes please." She brushed her children's hair back, smiled at them lovingly. "Oh, before I forget, I found a few pictures Sara.""Let's look at them later together, ok? I still have to finish cleaning the house", I set the water to boil and watched the kids tell their parents everything they've missed so far.Sara's POV8 pm.I had cleaned the house.I had cleaned the kitchen, bathroom, surfaces, vacuumed all the floors, watered the flowers, washed the stairs outside.I had read three chapters but stopped be

    Michael's POVSara shushed me into the shower, then went down to take care of the dishes I had left behind downstairs.Moments later the sounds of the house were silenced by the running water. I let the warm water run down my naked skin, soaking in the warmth and felt my hard muscles relax as the water hit them. I let the hard day be washed off my body, shut my eyes and enjoyed the silence thoroughly.Deep breaths, in and out. Five or so, before I reached for the shampoo and scrubbed my body clean. I gave my hair a quick wash and then got out the shower after a quiet, blissful eternity.Sara wasn't in the room as I got out. I let my towel drop, tip-toed over to my suitcase and rummaged around for some boxers. This was a bad habit of mine; I was so used to traveling constantly that I never unpacked my suitcase. My fingers touched the bag with the rings.My heart started beating rapidly. I glanced to the door and quickly opened it.The rings shone back. Beautiful. Elegant. There. Still

    "Bien, Frederic. Sorry that I left you waiting."Frederic waved it off. "Oh please, I'm in your dept! Nobody is asking you to repair the town yet you always do it out of your own will!""Well, I do own Gordes something", I locked the car."And I owe you a good lunch - my wife and I'll drop by several times to see if you need something.""Merci."I turned to the mayor who now approached us.Gerard Blanc smiled that stupid fake smile of his, as if it would hurt him to smile properly, and he extended his hand. No hair on his head, clean shaven, always wearing a suit that didn't suit him at all. He was smaller than me, bore a big stomach and was just entitled to the maximum. Even as a child I had hated him and Marthe didn't think of him too fondly either.He raised taxes. He did anything to get money out the people. Never supported the locals. Was never there when the city needed him.I took his hand strongly and shook it adamantly.I saw how he tried to shake it off discreetly. "Beaumon

    Sara's POVGraciously I was awoken by soft, long kisses.Hands danced softly over my skin, caressing me with a feather light touch.Lips nibbled on mine, laughed a breathy laugh as I smiled, kissed the side of my nose, rubbed my back.Michael's lips slowly approached my face, lingered there, kissed my skin sweetly before he retreated. His lips were so warm. I swooned with a smile."Allô mon amour", Michael greeted me. It took me all of my strength not to swoon out loud. French just suited him so much~ I could imagine the cheeky grin on his lips, that little flirt!I felt his hand brush my hair back, felt his lips softly on mine, before he retreated them yet again.I stretched; stretched my legs, my arms, until I was shaking, feeling as if my soul left my body. The stretch was followed by a squealing sound escaping my lips, which made Michael laugh lowly.My eyes slowly darted open, slightly so I could see him. Michael smiled a tooth-bearing smile at me, brushing my cheek with his roug

    "We need the workout tatie", Michael reassured, beaming.I was too tired to reply much, so I just hummed in agreement, still dazzled by the amazing sex.Why was sex always so much better when you had been withdrawn from it?Leon slapped Michael's arm as he passed by him, giving him the biggest grin. "You two couldn't be more obvious - Sara's hair is all tussled and your clothes are crooked."Michael and I quickly touched ourselves up."Oh to be young again!", Leon laughed, Rebecca shaking her head at him with an amused smile.Omg how embarrassing ... I lowered my head in shame.Michael drew me close to him once the door was shut. He sat down while I stood in front of him. He laid his head onto my stomach, his hands on the back of my legs. "Thank you."My heart swelled up in happiness and the embarrassment went away slightly. "Thank you too. Thank you for desiring me that much, it makes me feel ... special!""You are special. You are gorgeous. Attractive. Beautiful." He looked up with

    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

    Michael's POVDecemberNew York, the Rink at Rockefeller CenterMy old Sara was almost back. She was bubbly again, happy and talk-active, but non-stop or constantly clutched to me.I wanted that - so I could protect her.It's December, 4 months later after mon amour had been kidnapped.Sara parked the car and we both got out. I waited until she circled the car, then intertwined our hands as we went to the ice skating center.Our wedding was planned. 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. The dogs were looked after by Jess and Philipp for the few hours we would be gone.Now we were waiting for January 23rd, our unofficial one year anniversary and wedding date.With Sara in tow, her hands wrapped around my arm, while I had my arm propped up in a 90 degree angle, we went onto the ice.Sara giggled."What is it honey?", I turned

    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. "Take care of her", dad said to him, making tears well up in my eyes. He handed me over, making me take Michael's hand. Dad squeezed our holding hands."Always", Michael whispered back to my father, then turned to me. "Beautiful. Perfe

    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'

    Sara's POVAt first, I blinked.Then, unfamiliar faces appeared in a silhouette above me.The harsh light made me close my eyes again.Had the policemen turned on the light once they had found me?Was I free again?"Ms Basic?", the male voice asked, shaking my shoulder. "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! I had really seen Michael!I jumped up; immediately their hands caught me.It all came

    Sara's POVI panted and cried and whaled as Noah repeatedly stabbed my legs. In and out, always in a new spot. 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? Why couldn't I be happy from the start?"Did you feel anything?", Noah purred, tracing the side of my face with his knuckles.With angry tears, I heavily shook my head.Noah didn't hesitate - his slap left my face nu
