Chapter 3: Leaving the country

last update Last Updated: 2024-05-13 02:14:46

There is so much elegance in him and that is one of the many things I love about him. I really want to see what is hidden behind those clothes. Oops, I'm thinking dirty thoughts again. I tried steadying my breathing so he wouldn't notice, but it was proving to be really difficult. Could my heartbeat stay steady in his presence? No way in this world.

"Hi Sarah, how have you been? It has been a long time since I last saw you." His monotonous voice soothed my heartbeat to the extent I was gazing at him with dreamy eyes.

"I...I've been good," I managed to reply while still gazing at his beautiful eyes. "I..." I wanted to say how much I miss him before his phone interrupted me.

"Sorry, I will take this," he said, answering the call, and I felt like pulling the caller by the hair through the phone for ruining my moment.

Ten seconds later, he hung up and gave me an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, I would have loved to treat you to dinner, but I have to go now, it's work."

I smiled at him and shook my head while my fingers clung together. "It's okay, maybe next time." I hoped there was a next time as he hardly paid a visit nowadays. Even when he visited, I wouldn't be at home. When will I ever get this same opportunity? My dreams tonight will be very steamy since I saw him today. "Goodbye then, take care," he left and got inside his car.

"Sarah, Sarah." I snapped out of my daze and turned to see my friend giving me a questioning look. I completely forgot someone was beside me the whole time.

"Are you into him? Or are you just playing a sick joke?"

This was kind of awkward; my friend noticed my behavior just now. I can't tell her I am in love with a man far older than me, or she will think I'm crazy. Well, I am crazy, but only crazy for him.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, pretending to not understand what she said.

"I saw your face flush red when you were talking to him." She saw well, I really did blush; why wouldn't I? His presence produces many effects in me, and she just saw one of them. If only she knew what is going on in my mind.

"I'm hungry, let's have dinner in this newly opened restaurant," I diverted her to the conversation she loved.

"Where is it?" She asked, amused. I knew how to deal with her; just tell her stuff she loves, you'll cling her over to your side.

"Not too far away from here, let's go." We left the mall for our new destination, a fancy restaurant, and we ordered the cheapest meal they had.

Helen dropped me off before going home and saved me the transport fare. My father was already home when I arrived and I found him preparing dinner.

I sighed, I was supposed to make dinner, not him, but I came back late. How should I explain to him? Maybe I can lie that I studied in school until this evening, or say we had a small, interesting contest in school to find out who is best among us. What terrible lies. I sniffed the air and caught the smell of my favorite food.

"Oh father, it smells delicious," I gave him a hug from behind.

"You're late again," he said that without facing me, and I knew I broke the rules again, because I will never get punished for it.

"Father, lighten up, I'm a woman now, give me some freedom," I rested my chin on his shoulder, looking at the tasty meal he was preparing.

He rolled his shoulder to get me off him and turned his gaze towards me. "You know I care about you."

"I know," I smiled and gave him a hug. My father has been so protective of me ever since my mother passed away; the way she died stung his heart that he always made sure I came home early before 8 pm.

It was a cold night, and she just wanted to surprise us with something I couldn't remember, and she came across some robbers in the garage. Just because she refused to let go of her purse, she was stabbed in the stomach and left to bleed. Before the ambulance arrived, she had already lost a lot of blood. She left us just like that. I cried a lot when my father told me I would not be seeing her anymore; he said those words with tears in his eyes, and I understood my mother was gone. I was only nine back then and still in the 5th grade. My father decided not to remarry, and I was glad. No other woman could take the place of my mother in my life.

"What's wrong, father? Why so blue all of a sudden?" I noticed his change in demeanor.

He sighed. "Let's eat dinner first before we talk about it."

I hoped it was good news; I had been longing to receive one for a long time. We ate while he was busy with his laptop. He must be working on some important stuff that might give me headaches. He has worked for a manufacturing company for years now; he loves his career that he wanted me to study automobile engineering, but I refused. I love medicine, and that's why I chose to study nursing in college rather than studying automobiles. So boring. I prefer taking care of patients than vehicles. After having dinner, I sat on the sofa, waiting for him to tell me what got him worried. He sat beside me and stared deeply at me before speaking.

"I'll be leaving the country."

"WHAT!" He just dropped a bombshell on me. I stood up immediately I heard him; he is leaving the country to where?

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down," he chuckled at my reaction. "It's a job transfer, and um..."

"Um, what, father?" I think he wants to drop another bombshell on me. I widened my eyes while tapping my feet on the floor, awaiting his next words.

"I would really love to take you along, but..."

"You want me to leave college? I just started my second year," I cut him off before he could finish. "And why..."

"Sarah, calm down. You aren't coming with me; you are not a kid anymore to follow me around. But after you finish college, you will come over," he explained.

"Do you really have to leave?" I pulled a cute face and blinked.

"Yes, next week," he replied.

"So I will be leaving alone?" I gave him a side glance.

"Oh, I know what you are thinking. But I'm sorry to burst your bubble; you won't be leaving alone," he saw through me; I'm defeated.

"So you want me to leave in the dorm." I raised my eyebrows, expecting a yes.

"No," he replied, and I frowned; it was clear he doesn't want me to live without guidance, but I wonder who...

"You will be staying with Xavier until you finish college," he said as he stood up, ready to end the conversation.

    Did I hear him right or is it just my imagination running wild, he just called the one. Is it what I think it is?"Father, can you please repeat what you just said for clarity?" I wanted to be sure."Do you have a problem with him?"He asked and I glanced at him, why would I have a problem with him? Gosh, my blood is boiling with excitement."Besides, he is the only one I trust to look after you the same way I do." He had no idea how happy I was to be entrusted to him. I get to see him every single day living under the same roof, I don't have to dream about him anymore because it would soon be a reality."Or is there......""Say no more, Father.

    Few minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching; they were so refined and graceful that it made my heart beats rhyme with every sound that arouses my deepest desires. I could tell my face had already turned red without me looking at the mirror. I stood immediately as I saw him. Those lips again, they are making me crazy. Even his eyes are making me lose my mind. I pressed my lips tightly to avoid saying what was hidden in my mind. My heart yearns for him that there's no turning back for me. This is the man I love and will always love. I promised to always try by any means to make him love me back. He came closer, and I did the same. I really want his hot breath on my face, my neck, my body, and everything in my possession. His gaze fell on me, and my brain released the bind and unleashed me with no restraint. I did a small leap, and my body fell towards him as I tripped, almost falling before he caught me, holding my waist, and finally those hot breaths graced my skin. His face was

    I woke up the next day feeling energetic and ready to make a nice breakfast for Mr. Clinton, he was surprised to see me in his bedroom with a tray of food. I woke up earlier than ever, at exactly 5 AM just to prepare breakfast for him before he leaves for work."Why go through all this for me, you don't have to," he said as he sat up on his bed while I swayed my legs childishly."It's nothing, Mr. Clinton," I smiled at him, and he smiled back. I better get used to seeing him smile like that, or I wouldn't be able to keep my thoughts from spilling out.He gazed at me, waiting for me to leave, but I was too occupied to understand. "Are you going to stand there and watch me eat?" he raised his eyebrow at me, and I gave an awkward smile."Um..I'll go to my room if you don't want me to, you know."I could tell he didn't understand what I hinted just now; a deep furrow appeared on his forehead as he stared at me, waiting for an explanation."I meant, if you don't want me to join you for bre

  • Seducing My Father's Best Friend   Chapter 7: Things might change

    XAVIER'S POVI came out of my bathroom surprised to see Sarah, lying on my bed. Her hair sprawled across the bed sheet like a wild tangle, framing her sleepy face and cascading down the pillow. The cute-looking innocent girl has grown up to be a fine woman. I vividly remembered her younger sweet smile she usually gives me every time I visit. I walked over to wake her up but I stopped in my tracks when I noticed how peaceful she was while asleep. I chuckled as I recalled our earlier conversation, I never knew she was this hilarious and playful. 'Video game,' just the thought of that was inching me to burst into laughter.While I covered her with the duvet, I saw one of her hands hanging at the edge of the bed. I slowly leaned forward to position her hand properly on the bed before clearing the cutlery from my bedside table. The sight of the cutlery induced my mind to recall the umami taste of the food she prepared for me. She sounded serious when she said she would be my personal cook;

    SARAH'S POV "I must have slept for long," I yawned with closed eyes before my vision slowly revealed where I was. 'Mr. Clinton's bedroom, I actually slept on his bed.' I placed my hands on my lips in disbelief; that was fast, way too fast, but I liked the speed. I laid back on his bed grinning, things were working out for me. It had only been a day since I arrived, and we were already getting along really well, just as I always wanted. I sat up when my mind flashed back to our earlier conversation. I've got preparations to make, and I was still in bed. I got up immediately to get things ready. I went to my room and grabbed my purse, put on some lipstick, and tied my hair into a ponytail. I really like ponytails because it makes me look cute and full of spirit, that's what I think. I didn't forget to take some cash; I had shopping to do. As I was about to exit the duplex, I saw Erin approaching. "Hi." She smiled again, and I smiled back as I did before. "You're going out," she as

    The long night came to an end, with a smile on my face, I stroked my ruffled hair, detangling the clumps in my hair. I heaved a heavy breath and sluggishly got off my bed. 'Woah.' my bedsheets were rumpled like a trashcan where raccoons fight for leftover cabbage. What was more amusing was the state of my long hair, 'Man, I look like a witch' the mirror revealed the hilarious view of my looks. If I were in an intoxicated state, I'm very sure I won't be able to recognize myself. After laughing my ass off, I strode into my bathroom. Then it suddenly struck me.What time is it?I bathed quickly and unlocked my phone.BLOODY HELL! It's Tuesday, I hate Tuesdays! Especially today.That stern Professor Steve, I usually had his class on Tuesday at 9 AM. The annoying thing was that this particular Tuesday was for continuous assessment, 45 percent on the run... but the time...Please tell me Mr. Time that you are teasing me...9:45The time leaped from 9:45 to 9:47.

    While I zoned off, Helen's piercing voice brought me back to the present. "Sarah, yesterday you hurt my feelings..." She slapped my hands away with a frown. I turned utterly speechless and confused; a moment ago she was sulking, and now she had transformed into a fiery goddess blazing with indignation. "What did I do?" "If you don't like Vincent, you shouldn't have made it obvious," she spat. What the fuck, is she serious? "Your boyfriend is a.........." I refrained. He would be dumped anyway; there was no need to make it quicker. "A real what?" She inquired, waiting for a meaningful answer. "Never mind," I decided to let it slide, after all, this wasn't the first time she dated a pervert. "Hello baby." Yeah, speaking of the devil. Vincent hugged her from behind and peppered kisses on her neck. 'What a public display of affection,' I scoffed. Helen, on the other hand, was enjoying the kissy moment, forgetting her single girlfriend was watching. "Hi," Vincent s

He shot me a glance, dabbing his mouth with a napkin.I furrowed my eyebrow, surprised by his response. Then I remembered my ulterior motives."Mr. Clinton, would you mind tutoring me today?" His expression turned thoughtful, and I held my breath."Which course?""Anatomy," I replied, barely containing my excitement.His brow furrowed. "You are struggling with Anatomy, it's a crucial course for nursing students." I winced, feeling a twinge of embarrassment.Did I say I was struggling with Anatomy? Well, if I don't pass the cutoff mark, 'struggling' would be an understatement.CARRY OVER! Would knock on my door and I wouldn't want that..."I missed the test..." I admitted, my face scrunched up in discomfort.Luckily, I wasn't confessing to my father; I wouldn't have wanted to deal with his loud scolding.Then a worrying thought struck me.

    A month had passed since we left Paris. Our little family had settled into a cozy villa overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Well, we moved in for the wedding, actually. Now, standing in front of the mirror, I smoothed out my lace wedding gown. My heart fluttered as I thought of Xavier waiting for me at the altar. "Sarah, you look stunning," my maid of honor said, adjusting my veil. Who else would it be? It's my best friend, Helen. I smiled, feeling like a princess. The ceremony was intimate, with only close friends and family attending. "Hey, kiddo." A voice interrupted my thoughts, bringing a smile to my face. "The guests are waiting. Are you just gonna sit there and admire yourself?" Juniper appeared at the door, crossing her arms and wearing a feigned frown on her face. Juniper had helped out with the wedding planning; she even brought her kids along. Although I was grateful for her expertise, her planning ways exceeded Xavier's budget, but he didn't complain. "Juniper, you'

My baby was at risk because of him, and he was lucky nothing happened to him or her. If something had happened, I would have... I stopped and forced myself to stay calm when I noticed my father's soft gaze.He leaned against the wall without speaking, letting me pour out my anger. Only when I was done did he finally speak. "I meant to say..." He hesitated, glancing at Xavier. "I'm... sorry."It was as if he forced those words right out of his mouth.I looked away, breaking eye contact, and Xavier gently stroked my shoulder again."Sarah, calm down. Don't stress yourself out, okay?"Yeah, I'm pregnant. I shouldn't stress myself out.I flashed him a soft smile and leaned on his shoulders, making sure to avoid eye contact with my father."Sarah, I'm happy for you," my father continued, despite my bad attitude. "Now that there's nothing else I can do, you're free to l

    My eyes widened in shock as I found Sarah lying on the bed, pale and motionless. In an instant, my heart sank, and my world crumbled around me."Sarah?" I whispered, approaching her cautiously.My legs felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot, but I forced myself to move closer. William's presence faded into the background, irrelevant to the only thing that mattered – Sarah.I gently sat beside her, my hand reaching out to brush away the strands of hair clinging to her forehead. Her skin felt cold and clammy."Sarah," I whispered, my voice trembling.Her eyelids fluttered open, and our gazes met. For a moment, I saw a glimmer of recognition, a spark of life.But it was fleeting.Her eyes, once bright and full of laughter, now seemed dull and lifeless."Sarah, please," I begged, my voice cracking. "Talk to me.""Sarah!" William, who had finally broken out of his stupor, rushed over to her side, shaking her gently, completely disregarding my presence.Then he froze, staring at Sarah, as the

    XAVIER'S POV"Daddy, when is Sarah coming back?" Elizabeth had asked after I had watched as William's car disappeared, taking Sarah away from me. My heart felt like it had been ripped out. I couldn't believe I had to let her go.But I knew it was necessary. William's anger and determination to keep us apart were palpable.I crouched down to meet Elizabeth's height, her big brown eyes filled with concern. "Soon, sweetie. Sarah needs to go for now." I offered a reassuring smile."Where's William, her dad?" Harper chimed in, her brow furrowing. "Did the two of them leave?"I glanced up at Harper, who stood beside Hayden, his expression serious as if they were interrogating me.I let out a sigh and tried to simplify the truth. "Like I said, they're gone, but—" I was interrupted by Elizabeth whining. Her face scrunched up. "Why did Sarah leave without telling us? This is so unlike her."I took a deep breath, choosing my words carefully. "Sometimes, grown-ups need to figure things out. She

    With my curiosity piqued, I got off the bed and made my way to the door. Walking down the hallway, the sound of heels clinking on the floor grew louder, making me even more curious about who had come to visit. Ever since I moved in, we’ve never had visitors, and that thought only fueled my curiosity.I entered the living room only to find a woman and my father walking from the door. My father’s gentle smile was a stark contrast to the tension that had filled the air moments before.Seriously? So I am the only downer here who won't get what she wants. I scoffed and quietly strode towards them.My eyes remained fixed on the lady, and I couldn’t help but keep my mouth wide open as I saw her intimate with my father. Her lips were pressed against my father's, and he responded with equal fervor, completely oblivious to my presence.So he has a girlfriend in Paris, huh?Way to go, Father; only you deserve happiness.I felt a mix of disgust and betrayal surging through me.

    "Welcome to my humble abode. Don't you like the view?" My father's cheerful voice cut through my thoughts. Again. He kept interrupting my moping with his unnecessary small talk and fake enthusiasm. Can't he see I'm still reeling from the pain he's caused?I forced a glance around the luxurious penthouse apartment, trying to appear unimpressed. To be honest, it was quite breathtaking, but I wouldn't say it."It's nice, Father," I said flatly, my voice devoid of enthusiasm.My father's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered."I'm glad you like it. You'll be comfortable—""Cut the small talk,I wasn't done talking." I spat, cutting him off. I chuckled, still glancing around. "It's just that it's missing something."My father, sensing my fake enthusiasm, leaned close with a smile. "What do you think is missing?"A mischievous grin spread across my face as I replied, "My happiness."My father's smile froze, his eyes widening, caught off guard by my true intention."Sarah, co

    I turned and walked away, leaving Xavier behind. My father's suffocating grip on my arm guided me toward the car. I felt numb, my heart heavy. As we drove away, I glanced back at the duplex, the building fading away. There wasn't any sight of Xavier, and it hurt to sense he was giving up. Or isn't he? I really don’t know. I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to the girls; they would be devastated when they wake up without me beside them. This can't be happening. "We're going to Paris, Sarah. You'll be safe there. We're better off without him." My father's voice cut through my thoughts. His words felt like acid in my throat. I turned to him, my face twisted in a mix of anger and desperation. "Safe from what, Father?" I demanded. My father's expression remained unyielding. "From Xavier. From his influence on you." I felt a surge of indignation. "You don't even know him," I spat. "And you claim he is your best friend." My father's grip on the steering wheel tighte

My eyes locked onto my father's scrunched-up face, his eyes blazing with fury."Get away from him, Sarah!" he growled.But I stood firm, my heart racing. "You're hurting him!" I pleaded, my eyes welling up. "How could you do this, Father?"Xavier's eyes fluttered open, and he winced."Sarah, I'm fine," he whispered.My father's face twisted in disgust."Don't talk to her, Xavier. You've done enough damage."I felt a surge of anger. I never expected this kind of reaction from him."That's not true! I did the damage!" I said, my voice firm as I walked towards him. "It was me who fell for him first, so if you're angry, then pour it on me."My father's gaze snapped back to me, and I could see the disappointment and hurt in his eyes."Sarah, I didn't expect this from... both of you," he said, his voice soft with a layer of pain and betrayal.

    WILLIAM'S POVI didn't know what was taking Xavier so long to open the door after telling me he would open it in a minute. A minute had turned into an eternity."Xavier!" I called again, attempting to knock on the door again, but it opened, revealing Xavier's wry smile."Hey," he said, scratching the back of his head. "Why are you here?"My brow furrowed. "Didn't you hear what I said? I said I need help. That's why I came. Now will you let me come in?" I said and gently pushed him out of the way, letting myself in.I tossed the towel I was holding onto his bed and turned to meet his surprised, perhaps shocked, expression."Why are you here with the towel?" he asked, chuckling."Sorry for disturbing you. I wanted to take a late-night bath, but my water system isn't working," I explained, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible, despite the curiosity brewing inside me."Water system's out?
