I felt an unusual peace, seeing them (Sara and Riya) in one piece, the atmosphere seems to change to a point I wouldn't mind staying like this for a little longer.
But Riya was so dumbfounded to an extent, pushed me back to my senses, maintaining her exact look at me.
"Salem!!! Are you okay!" She copies back her same words to me, fiddling to hear my comeback.
A weak smile was spotted on my face, hence I veered back to my room, in a headcount of three out of five, Riya chased me and ran into my room.
She attempted to leave no stone unturned in finding out the reason for my weird demeanor, I just demonstrated not quite long ago.
"Tell me what's going on! Or else you will be sorry" Riya threatened to get the truth from me.
I finally got over the shock and attained my attention to her, I know how shaken she was seeing me In seeing me in such a manner, but reeling in the truth was no way
Riya walks out and handed me two plane tickets, donning a huge smile on."What's this! And why are you giving me plane tickets, I never told you I would be traveling?". I said but got interrupted by Elena's voice, she says, "oh come on, don't act do stiff and besides Riya is just following my instructions, I believe it's high te we all went for a family vacation!!".I veered and noticed the rather enthusiasm in her demeanor, what's going on in her head? I asked myself."Erm!! Am sorry miss Elena but you guys can go for your family vacation, while I'll stay back with my nanny and Sophia, bye!!".I attained my eyes and walked past without altering a single word, but got withheld when Sara blocked my path."Nanny!! What's going on?" I whispered my words, as they all looked trying to listen.Sara says, "Andres!! I feel it vacation is want we need to f
The plane ducked after a three hours drive, we walked out and got into the car waiting to take us to the hotel, and a few hours later, it stopped at the ranch, dad built for a family vacation, as well strolled in and went straight to our rooms.Mine was in the middle of Riya's and Sophia's rooms, yet again for the second time in a day, is it just I or the universe is trying to tell me something.The same day, Elena we called outside the ranch, I walked out and saw a huge round table positioned in front."What's going on!! I asked uncle Julian, he shoots a curious smile at me, then Elena walks in with Riya behind, holding a jar of flashcards in her hands."Hello my lovely family!!! And welcome too, Khan's family game night, come over and have a seat".Elena seems to be in a happy mood, Sara falls her eyes and assured that everything will be fine because she knew that my mom
This chapter will be read as RiyaRiya POVThe whole day expired with so much love in the air, even Salem had fun also, apparently, it was the first time I have seen him enjoy the company of others, he always been awkward and lost-minded."Miss Riya".I veered and fell my eyes on Salem's friend, what's her name again!! (Ponder in thought), "oh yeah, it's Sophia"."Hello dear!! May I help you please?" I donned an unstable smile and waited for her to speak."I'll like to ask you something! May I?". She retorts back with a question."Sure!!! What's up?" I asked once more.Sophia fills up the remaining distance between us conserving her eyes on me."I want to know something!! What do you know about Salem Baltimore?".Her words make no sense to me, it's either this might be a rhetorical question or is she being serious?
Reading as Andres KhanAndre's Khan POVThe whole room went silent the second Elena blabbed out the truth without thinking, Riya nudged me away and ran out of the house, yet again everyone stared and didn't do anything to prevent her from leaving, so I ran out to meet her."Andre's"Sophia called out to me but I gave daft ears to her, trying to meet up with a wounded Riya, who kept running.(Running continues)We kept running through the streets, I constantly kept calling out to her but she refused to stop, luckily I ran up and held her back from embarking on a marathon race."What the hell is wrong with you?" I said trying to catch my breath, the anger and rage she felt boils up, and with that vented her whole anger and me.Quietly I listened to her speak and physically assault me, I know that doing such will calm her for a
This isn't funny Elena" (she donned a startled look at her)"I know, at least I ain't the one that got slapped right" (giggles, Elena giggled her words to her, which got Sophia pissed: about it)."Are we doing a comedy show because I happen to have a great scrip" (waits for a while, before adding to her words) "staring Andres Khan as the protagonist of the story, Riya as the damsel in distress, Sara as the obstacle that needs to be taken down and oh yes!! Elena Khan as the villainess, the bad guy, and the most hated person".(The atmosphere changed in a hostile manner)..."How dare you?" She uploaded and tried to slap her(Sophia) for the third time, apparently this time, Sophia wasn't in no mood to get her cheeks lashed for the third time, so her hand blocked it from getting to her."Don't you dare Elena and do not forget, I know you and I won't hesitate to tell your beloved son that you
I trailed Riya and saw her knocking on the third apartment, on the second floor of the building.An elderly lady pushed the door opened, donning a huge smile on, Riya happily hugged her as they both amble back into the room.Something urged me to forge ahead, as I do, ambling close to the same door Riya Walked into.A voice spoke inside, "how are you Riya, it's been a while, my child".Riya takes a few minutes late before replying to her, "yes mom, I am okay, it's just that Elena has finally confessed that she took me from you and dad".I was so engulfed in their conversation, I didn't know when a little boy nudged me and I accidentally pushed the door open, sewing Riya's and the old lady's attention over to me."You? Andre's Khan what are you doing here? Are you following me?" Riya gets up from the couch angered by it.The old lady
Back home)The cab halted at the entrance of the mansion, I got out throwing on a serious look on my face, Riya walks faster and pulled me back, "what is wrong with you? Why are you acting weird?". She mumblesI gently removed her hands still venting how pissed off I was about the whole truth I retain a while ago."Are you seriously asking me that? Huh" I dipped in asking a question, Riya moves a step backward and throw a response to me, "look Andres!! I don't understand why you are furious with me, isn't it the same thing you did? You also lied about your true identity"."Lied about my true identity? So you're saying it's the same thing you did!! May I remind you that Elena khan, murdered my father and tossed me off the cliff!! Don't you dare say it's two sides of the same coin"?My words triggered a harsh tone from her, she vents and held me by my shirt, "what!! Did you think wha
The news shattered me to a million pieces, as my mind drifted away, that's when I remembered Riya's mom, (Mrs. Veronica), immediately I put off the scared look and drove to the exact place, she opens the door and was startled to see me after a few hours spent with her, "son!! Are you with Riya? What's wrong?" I figured she noticed the deplorable demeanor hovering over me.I tried so hard not to cast the whole truth, before letting her seat down, thus, I dragged her in, and sat her down on the couch as she adds to hear my response."So!! What's going on?" After a few headcounts she lets out to me, I ducked up my head, pulled out a stool, and says, "ma'am!! What I am about to tell you, promise me, not to scream".Veronica promised and pushed a response, so I said, "after we got home, Riya and I, had a little heated conversation and when I veered my back to leave!! She was gunned down at home"."Wait!! What
"whoa!! Calm down, Sara!! Remember we're in this together". Liam reminds me.His words seemed to have calmed me down a little, as I pulled back and continued resting on the bed.Thereafter, Liam leaves to get me a glass of water, and it hasn't been long he left, I took heed of someone ambling into the room."Hello miss Sara?". A feminine voice gets my attention back, I veered and saw Riya glaring at me, she took notice of my sign and moves further to me."Hello, Riya!!! I'm glad that we've finally gotten a chance to speak with each other" I said as she smiles at my statement, "yes ma'am!! Congratulation on your pregnancy, I'm sure you will be a good mother, given how wonderful you've been towards Andre's". She adds up her words to me."Yes Riya!! Although I'm not the biological mother to Andre's, I love him as if he mine, and having this child, won't change the love I feel for him".( I gave Riya a c

Happiness takes control, as he strolls out of the room with the doctor.Riya placed her hand on my shoulder, attaining my attention, "yes please" I said and she goes, "congratulations, I'm sure that having a younger sibling, is going to be awesome". ( In the same glare she says, the same dad returned to the room)He beets his feet close to mom ( Sara), I stood behind and figured he woud like to get some alone time with her, thus I signed Rohit up and immediately he gets the idea, and moved out of the room, with Riya behind and after a few headcounts, I left as well.Rohit takes up a congratulatory handshake and smiled his way back home, whereas Riya was seated on the couch, watching me.(Inaudible conversation)Now reading as Sara Scott POV

( Ate our food)My eyes burned to everyone seated they and saw the new look on their faces, thus a while after dinner, I jerked up to leave, and the second my feet ambled to away, I took heed of something falling to the floor, just to turn and intern Sara laying unconscious."Sara?".Immediately we all surrounded her in a fit of shock, dad placed her head on his lap and fondled her face, "Sara!! Please wake up, what happened?". ( He asked)."Andre's!! Call the doctor". Dad adds up his words to me, a

I went from trying to shy away from him, to hands-on both sides of his cheeks.(Inaudible conversation)The following morning, Liam gets me up from bed, "wake up, sleepyhead"."Urgh!! Let me sleep, Liam" a frown on my face, and veered my eyes aside, inferring yulan standing at the door."What are you doing here?".( Liam withdrew his eyes by the sound of my voice)"Yulan!! Why are you here?" He copies my exact words, so she says, "I'm sorry sir, but you have a visitor downstairs"."A visitor?" He adds up."Yes sir".

Tell me, what's wrong?"( Andre's placed his hands on my shoulders)A weak on, I answered, "actually dear, I went to the police station, since Liam and you, got the wrong person arrested"."Do you think we don't know? Of cause we do and since yulan is Liam's trusted employee, he thought it wise to get more evidence against her, since a mare accusation won't do any good". Andre explains to me."Wait, are you telling me that, Liam and you intentionally got the wrong person arrested, to get yulan exposed?"( Weaves in with an answer, and he goes affirming my words)"Yes mom and please don't tell dad, you know about his plan, he warned me not to tell y

Yulan behavior wasn't bought by me, deep down I felt something fishy happening, yet Liam and Andres were Crossed out from knowing the truth, "Sara are you okay?" Liam's hands on my shoulder attained by eyes back to him. I veered and said, "yes, but something isn't right about yulan and if I can recall, she came into my room and gave me a glass of wine, on behalf of you".My explanation made no difference, Liam gets his hands on my face and poked It further for a warm peg, Andre's left with a smile and after a few headcounts, he ( Liam) left as well, and left me wanting to know more about yulan's hidden truth, thus without hesitation, I walked to her room, only to gain access to her conversation on the phone."Hello, ma'am!!
