CHAPTER 40
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The mighty building stood tall, distracting Sarah from the hustle and bustle of worried faces around the courtyard. She had never seen a police station in real life. Intimidated, she clings to Mike’s arms, while he was preoccupied with a friendly policeman. An official report is still due to be filed against Suman Mehtra.
Anand Mehtra, Suman’s dad was already there, looking rather ragged. He had run up and down doors to get necessary documents aligned for Suman’s bail. His glacial stare dipped at Sarah and her grip on Mike’s arm tightened a bit more. He held her wrist and walked past Anand to the officer in charge’s room, not forgetting to cast his hatred over Anand.
Officer Dantey, the one who arrested Suman, was anticipating their arrival. The sun’s warmth shini

The moon consumed the day. Still, Sarah’s eyes fixed at the entry gate, clutching tight to her phone hoping to get a call from Mike. Her wait came to an end at 10 pm. To her disappointment, it is Robert and Jessica. She broke down in tears on Jessica’s shoulder and told them everything that had happened. Jessica and Robert couldn’t do much but exchange frowned among them It wasn’t until 11 pm, Sarah decided to call Joseph to check if he knows Mike’s whereabouts. “Dad…”“Yes my dear, are you ok?”“Have you heard from Mike? He is not home yet and I can’t reach him by phone either”Joseph let out a sigh. “He came to office with raging anger because I didn’t tell him about Suman’s harassment earlier. Then we had some discussion before he left.”“What time did he leave?” Sarah’s voice was low. Images of him unconscious with a bleeding head raked her brain, given the s

“Rob, come on pumpkin. I have a surprise for you…” Jessica’s teasing tone was enough for Robert to ignore Mike. Robert snapped to Mike and shrugged his shoulder before following Jessica, like a good puppy to her room. His expectation was left to hung when Jessica explained what she had done. It wasn’t long before Mike lost interest in the TV show and switched off to go to bed. 2 pairs of ears were pressing through an inch slit of the open door, next to the master bedroom. Mike paced casually and entered the bedroom next door to hear a muffled scream of Sarah. He quickly closed the door behind and turned on the dim light. His eyes froze on the most delicious view in the whole world. Throat constricted. Eyes darkened. A slight fever crept to the back of his neck and he stood there, staring at Sarah for a moment before realizing she was actually struggling to free herself. He rushed over to her
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 43
Pressure builds up around Suman. Officer Dantey digs up his criminal record. It turns out, there were 3 sexual harassment reports filed against him and then dropped, probably due to the victims being afraid by the Mehtras or paid off to keep quiet. Dantey then contacted some of those victims to find out more. His suspicion was correct, they either were threatened, paid off, or afraid of losing face. In one particular case, Suman’s secretary who had just joined their office was raped twice by Suman, in his room. With the CCTV footage, he threatened her into cooperating with him for the third time. The worst part is, Suman, considered them as willing partners since none of them proceeded with legal action. Dantey also found out that there are possibilities of more girls in her office that didn’t dare to report. &n
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 44
Hand-in-hand, the couples rounded the mansion, padding along the soft green grass which descends to a slope. Mike had parked his car underground. Once the garage door rolled up, Jessica and Roberts's eyes went wide open at the cars parked there. Mike’s car actually is the lowest profiled one. There was a Bentley, Austin Martin, a Ferrari, and a few Hummers that is used by the bodyguards. The cars didn’t surprise Sarah but the Harleys Davidsons and antique Royal Enfield parked at a corner magnetized her the most. “Your dad must be crazy about cars!!!” Jessica gasped with awe. “Yeah right!!! You expect him to drive these?” Mike asked, leaning on the door entry “Then, it’s yours?” he just nodded to Robert’s question and walked towards his usual BMW. He opened the driver's seat’s door when another delicate hand inter

10 minutes grew into 15. And then 30 and then 45– even after Sarah’s constant self-reminding curse, to not react to his touch. It only feeds his excitement. Leading the way, Sarah shuffled 2 paper bags in her hand while Mike carried 1, close to her back– like literally, following her butt sways and tiny jiggles. Until it stopped and he bumped into her. Disappointed with the interruption of his personal porn, he frowned down at her. She stood frozen with bitten lips and wide eyes. Joseph’s cold face greeted them as soon as she made it through 2 huge white, timber doors that probably were custom-made, into a tastefully lit foyer. Mike thought for a minute before a smirk appeared on his face and pushed Sarah forward. Only Sarah can coax this old fox. But not be
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 46
A beach buggy was waiting for them at the exit. Mike looked over his shoulder to Robert and Jessica, who were following them closely. “You guys need buggy?” being exhausted, they took the offer and sped to the beach house. 2 gone, 1 more left, that is Leo. Mike signaled Leo to not follow them, insisting on walking Sarah to the beach house. Strong sea breeze clings to their clothes, gently swaying palm trees. Hair strands flung wild, needing consistent attention. The vicinity grew colder and colder by second, shrinking Sarah a little as she tries to endure the temperature change. Mike wrapped her shoulder and pulled her closer to him “Are you sleepy?” he raised her hand to his lips, pressing gently. “No…” this is what he aimed for– slow walk, entertaining small talks with dimmed pathway light leading the way in perfect sequence.
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 47
At the end of the sandy beach, backing rocky mountain, there were 5 chalets raised high above raging tide with 4 strong, brick legs. The moon shines against the dark wooden building, giving it a little definition. Each chalet was about 25 feet away with 2 standing out, beaming brightly from within. On the stairs of the first one, Robert sat higher, tucking Jessica between his legs. Her head rested on his knees, facing the beach while Robert gently caressed her arm – chatting something. Noticing the other couple approaching them, Robert took out a beer from behind him and handed it to Mike. He too, sat on the staircase, next to Robert and pulled Sarah to sit in front of him, mimicking Jessica. They spend another few more hours like that, with their never-ending chitter-chatter. Robert offered a bottle of beer to Sarah, only to receive a

Flimsy pages of the newspaper rustled between Joseph’s fingers when a whirl caught his attention, procrastinating Donald Trump’s latest announcement. There she comes, climbing down the buggy with a smile brighter than the sun. The only agenda in their planner is to spend the day in the mansion, starting off with the PlayStation in Mike’s room. Sarah was unbeatable back in school but now she lost touch. After the third game, she was left with no choice but to sit on Mike’s lap to distract him. Before he could regain his view of the screen, Sarah had already won the game. Sarah even cooked a few simple dishes for Joseph, along with the regular buffet but in the end, they all fought for a bite of her cooking. It was about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Sarah and

Robert and Mike came back to the hospital by 11 am. They had recollected themselves, taken a hot shower which helped calm their nerves a lot, and packed some clothes for the girls and themselves as they will not be staying in the house for a while. Investigations will soon take place and they don’t want to mess up with the evidence. Mike took the black box with him, though. He couldn’t leave it behind to the police officers, the only memory of his child. The advancing hour didn’t consulate a thing. “Jessica's heart rate has stabilized but we plan to keep her under anesthesia for at least a week. A patient recovering from rape usually will have traumatic effects when they wake up. We don’t want her to move a lot and risk tearing her stitches. But…” that was the most dreadful ‘BUT’ they had ever heard “Sarah…” the doctor sighed out “Her blood pressure is still unstable…and… she had slipped into a coma…we

It took a solid 6 hours for the surgery and the sun mists across the horizon when the doctor finally came out. She looks weak herself as she stood in front of Mike and blows empty her lungs. “We did our best to treat their wound. Surgeries for Jessica is over but Sarah would need another and immediately.” She observed each of the people’s faces in front of her. “I’m sorry to say, she needs a D&C immediately” the doctor thrust her hands into her coat pocket. “D&C??? Why?” The term D&C or Dilation and Curettage is nothing new to him– a procedure used to remove tissue from the uterus but he is baffled of why Sarah would need one. “Her pregnancy didn’t make it. We lost the baby’s heartbeat and it is already detaching from the mother’s womb” Santha snapped open her m

Mike switched off his car, eyeing the house carefully. Pitch dark, something unusual for the girls. “What happens to the lights?” Mike “They are probably sleeping on the sofa” Robert shrugged off Mike’s doubt. Regardless, Mike climbed down the car and went straight to the door while Robert shook his head and went to the booth, unloading their luggage. “ROBERT!!!” not even a minute after, his scream draw blood to shrink in his vein and he rushed into the house. Everything in a mess, the whole house thrashed. There, Mike kneeled down to the sides of a lifeless woman, thudding his palms violently against her chest. Robert's heart leaped to his mouth as he flashed across the hall. He plopped on his kneel next to Jessica and started untying her hand from the dining table. Mike is pumping her chest with force, exhaling sharp at each push but Jessica she remains motionless,

Sarah slowly blinked open her eye. The flesh prying pain on her spine yields back a 3-Dimensional world under her feet. A sort of electrical tickle ringed over her ears and cold touched her skin, sending a shiver to radiate through her body. Profuse sweat covered her face and it chilled once she regained her consciousness. Her breathing constricted at the disabling pain. She forced her eye to regain their visual and regret it the minute they did. Jessica squirmed in front of her. Her hands are tied to the dining table leg as she laid flat on her stomach, partially dressed. Her skirt is missing, exposing her to brutally in the form of a man, standing behind her, thrusting his erect manhood through her butt hole. Her scream was muffled due to the cloth tape sealing her lips. Sarah gasped sh
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 61
Mike and Robert had been planning the proposal behind Sarah’s back. Just a week away from the proposal date. From their anniversary, the day she confessed her feelings with a drop of tear, legs wrapped around his waist. “What meeting??? I didn’t know we had anything scheduled” Sarah vented out her frustration, sitting on the bed with her arms across her chest. “It's a last-minute thing and we have to go, baby…Please...” Mike, busy laying out his clothes in his luggage. “I understand that, but why can’t I follow you? I will be really good girl, pleaseeeee….” Her palms joined in prayer with a sad face and puppy eyes for added effect. Mike let out a quick sigh and pulled her to his chest. His finger now caressing her cheeks. “You have been very weak lately, aren’t you? Always looking pale and you feel dizzy quite often, ever since the 4G project took off. You can only rest on weekends. I don’t want you to get more worn out than you already are.” He place

Returning to work diverts Sarah and having a little bit more extensive socialization has done well for Sarah. She slowly regained momentum and propel ahead in these 2 months. On the contrary, Mike seems to have difficulties focusing on his work ever since Sarah came back. The added curve and extra glow on her cheeks demand another glance– another touch or kiss, perhaps, ever so often. The whole office floor emptied for lunch except for Sarah. Numbers blurred her mind and she lost track of time. After making some corrections, she heads to the copier room. Mike, who had just come back from his clinic, noticed the whole floor subjected to pin-drop silence except for the shuffle from the copier room. He peeped in to find Sarah, singing a song in a funny, squeaky voice while the machine in front of her whirled
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 59
As a consequence of the unnerving event, Sarah was ‘forced’ to stay at her mother's house for a week. Not exactly the serene getaway doctors prescribe since the other 3 kept calling her every hour of the day. Mother’s constant love and home-cooked food made her recover mentally and physically. “You look a bit chubby!!!” those were the first word uttered by Jessica when she walked into Santha’s house, being bluntly real as she usually is, leaving Sarah to scoff. Mike followed behind Jessica and instantly leaned closer to her ears for a whisper “Making you a little bit curvier and sexier as hell, baby” “Miss you too Mike” she rolled her eyes at Mike as he hugged her by her neck and dented her cheeks with his impact called kissed. Robert is next in line and hugged Sarah, lifting her off the floor a few inches “Get your hands off my girl” Mike slapped Roberts hand playfully, to which he just chuckled “He is a bit insecure” Robert winked at Sarah
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 58
Every human has a good side and a hidden bad side. They carry their baggage to their grave. So did Mike. He gave his word to Dr. Ajay under solid ground and his evil side surfaced as he took revenge for the prank or precisely, harassing phone call she received earlier. Rewind a few hours ago, when he set motion to his fury. A small room with dingy single bed portraits nothing but melancholy and lonely. The hallway leading to the room shadowed by a dying light bulb, making it difficult to see anything around midnight. There lays a man, who once was glorious, rich, and handsome as well as drooling material among girls– Suman Mehtra. Unfortunately for him, Mike’s traced the landline number from Sarah’s phone to central jail, where he is serving time now, exactly 4 months and another 2 to go. Consequences– a few cel
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 57
Lifeless and unconscious, just like the water body at the foot of an iceberg tip, Sarah laid there in her bed. No protest. No nightmares. “Her blood pressure dropped drastically. I have given an injection to stabilize her. She may have trouble balancing herself in the morning, so someone please be by her side. I would highly advise to bring her to the hospital once she is better” Dr.Nora gave a word of caution as she prepared to leave. However, a wide frame crossed her path, blocking her from taking a step further out of the room. The crease fallen face with threading veins up his neck made her sigh. Dr.Nora had a feeling that she won’t be able to leave without comforting him. The old lady with middle-of-the-night under-eye bag gently smile as she cupped his face with a palm “Don’t worry Mike, she is fine. Just need some rest, ok?”. Her words don’t seem to affect the ex
