Stephen's POV.I really can't believe that Susan has decided to forgive me. It was the best news of my life. I have never been happy before like today. I promise myself not to hurt her like before ever again. I was going to treat her right. The way she deserves. She deserves the best anyway. I come downstairs, and I find Ella in the kitchen preparing the table for lunch. The house help had already prepared the meal and Ella had decided to help in serving it.“Dad, I thought you would be having lunch with mum in her room. I was thinking of bringing the food to the room." Ella says immediately she sees me. “Well no, she is currently taking a nap. I will take food to her when she wakes up. What about Laura? Is she asleep as well.” I ask her.“No dad. I am going to take her. She will be having her food on the dining table today. I was so surprised when she asked me for food. These days she rarely eats, but today she said she will have her meal after showering.” Ella says.“Then where i
Sarah's POV.Prison life was making me run mad. And what came to my mind was how to escape from this horrible place. Everyone feared the thought of running away from prison. But right now, that was what I wanted. I know I had promised myself that I was going to be a good girl and spend my twenty years here. But the situation was becoming unbearable. I was losing it. I mean, there was no point in pretending that I liked it here.I decide that one of these days when I get a good chance, I will just escape. The only thing I had to do was find a good opportunity to do so. Since I could not trust anybody, I decide to make it a secret. * * * * * * * * * * * * Just like always, I wake up, take my bath and I head for breakfast. Since it was the day to work in the fields, I get inside the prison vehicles, and they start driving towards the farm. “Hey just hold on tightly, the bus has lost control. We are going to crush.” We hear the taxi driver say. My heart pounces hard on its chest. Was
Ella's POV.I decide to share the good news with Luca, my boyfriend. But not over the phone. I wasted to give him the good news myself. So right now, I was driving to his place.It is seven in the evening. My relationship with Luca has not been the best. I mean we have gone through a lot together and despite that he still on my side. He loves me so much, and I love him so much too. I know in my heart that he is meant for me and that there is nothing that is going to separate us. Not now or ever.I had left Laura under dad's care. Today, mom was feeling a little better, but her leg was still in pain. So dad had decided to take her downstairs. I left them there enjoying their movie. Laura had decided to join them in their movie. She was getting better. I think our family reuniting has given her the peace she wanted. And that is a good thing. I was so happy when mom decided to forgive dad. At last, my family is happy again.After about a few minutes of driving, I reach Luca's house. Jus
Ella's POV.I get back home and I find my family asleep. They looked so peaceful together. I felt so happy seeing them together. It has been long since my family slept together like this. Ever since my dad and mom separated, mom has always been so dull and unhappy. But now I could see a glow on her face. She looked so beautiful, and I smile just by looking at her. She deserved to be happy forever. That is what I wanted most in this life. I notice they had left the television on. It's obvious they fell asleep while watching the movie. I decide to switch it off. Before switching it off. There is a news break. I decide to check what was that important in the middle of the night. I almost get a heart attack when I see the news that was being shown on the television.“The prison bus had an accident? And that Sarah escaped. How is that even possible?" I try to ask myself. It felt so strange. I know she will come to revenge for calling the police men on her. And I know the first house she
Sarah's POV.I wake up feeling a little better. But I was so hungry. I have not taken anything since yesterday. My stomach was rumbling so much. If I don't find anything to eat, I will definitely starve to death.My arm was feeling a bit better now. It wasn't painful like yesterday. I slowly get up, and I decide to check up the house. Maybe I will be lucky enough to find something to fill my stomach with. I manage to find an old fridge. I decide to open it and check it out. I find only two cans of soda. It's like the person who was living here had decided to vacate the place. Perhaps she got tired of staying in a place like this. It was so boring. There was no electricity and also no water. I don't know where she found water to use.“I am going to starve for sure if I continue staying here” I say as I take the two cans of soda. It was time to leave from here. I will do it now. I know the police are looking for me. And if I continue to stay here. They will find me easily. I find some
Sarah's POV.“Where do you want me to drop you?” The man asks. I had already started dozing off in his beautiful car. I was so tired from walking, and I was also hungry. I did not even have money, so I can't go to the hotel. I know they will refuse to accommodate me. “Just drop me here, please.” I say to him and he stops the car.“Are you sure you can continue from here? You look weak and tired.” The man says.“Yes. I can continue. Thank you so much. I appreciate your generosity.” I say as I open the car door and come out of it. The man speeds up his car and drives off. I am left stranded, not knowing where to go. With the way I was feeling, I needed somewhere to rest. I felt like I might pass out anytime. “Clara. I know she will not refuse me. I will go to her house and beg her to let me stay at her house just for a few days." I say to myself. Clara was the only one whom I knew in this town. She was my best friend before I ruined it all. But I know she still loves me a lot. So I w
Ella's POV.Everything was ready. Starting with the food, drinks, decorations. Our house was beautifully decorated to celebrate my parent's reunion. I was so happy today. All I ever wanted was to see my parents together always. At last, my parent's happiness was back. I was so happy, and I could not hide the joy anymore. I climb upstairs to help my mom get dressed. It was still early. People has not yet started to arrive. I know in a short while, people will start coming here to celebrate our happiness with us.“Mom, can I come in?” I knock on her door.“Yes, dear, please come in. I need your help with this dress. I cannot wear it on my own.” My mom says. Clearly she was happy to see me in her room. Her leg was still bandaged.“How are you feeling today, mom. I mean, it's your big day. Finally, you will announce your reunion with dad. It's just a special day." I ask her.“I feel so much alive, baby. Words cannot express how happy I feel. At long last, your dad came back to me. I had
Sarah's POV.After leaving Clara's home. I decide to just stay on the streets. I looked miserable, by the way. So if I go to the club, no man will look at me. I did not look attractive at all. My body curves were all gone, and all that was due to prison food. Since I hated the food there, my beautiful body was gone. I looked really emaciated. The streets were so cold, especially during the nights. In these two days I have slept here, I slept hungry. There was no food and people refused to give me any money. I hated my life so much. I just wish I had not escaped prison. I thought life would be easy after escaping, but it was more tough than in prison.Today, when I wake up, I see a commotion with the people in the streets. It's like they were going somewhere important. I am curious to know where they are going, and I decide to ask them.“There is a party today and some rich family. They are going to cook a lot of food, and we will be given some leftovers after the party.” One of them
