Sarah's POV
Ever since I saw Felix, I cannot seem to forget him. I remember very well the first time we met at the office, the day that we bumped into each other. I was on a lot of stress that day that I did not even look at him properly. But when we met again at the movies, that was when I noticed how handsome he was.I wanted to see him again and by good chance he came to me when I was having my lunch at the office. I looked up and saw that it was him. My heart skipped a bit, it was like my prayers were finally answered. First I pretended I did not know him, but deep down in my heart I just wanted to know him more. I wanted us to be friends and maybe something more serious.He was so handsome. Well-built body, cute haircut, well maintained beared, he was tall but not that much I mean he was perfect match and size for me. I wanted to be held tight in those strong hands of his. I am just dying to feel his touch.Today I met him again at the office and he had dressed up so nicely. His blue suit suited him perfectly. I just wanted to greet him, so I could hear his cute deep voice.I made sure I had complimented his look. He looked handsome, and I just wanted him to know it. I bet he is also interested in me because of the look he gave me. I knew for sure he was craving me as well.I am not concentrating in my work today. All my body and mind was thinking about Felix. I could not forget his cute name from the first day he told me. I just wanted to see him all the time. I could not believe I was behaving like a small girl. This was driving me crazy. I have to talk to him no matter what. I promise myself.“Baby girl, what is wrong with you today.” Joyce my best friend says literally shaking me. I was deep in thoughts that I barely could hear her."Joyce. What is it?” I ask like a crazy person.“Girl, where are you thinking. I am asking you something for ages now, and you are not even responding. Are you sick or something because this is the first time I am seeing you like this.” She says.She is always concerned about my well-being. I share a strong bond with her that we share everything. She knows all my secrets.“Nothing my friend, I will tell you later because it's nothing important. What were you saying?” I ask her.“The boss wants to see the report we were making. Where is it, I intend to go and show it to him.” She says.I had totally forgotten about work, but luckily, we had finished already, so I give her the file and she leaves. I know she will come back later to ask what was going on with me. That is how she is always concerned for me.At lunch hour we sat together. She did this when she had something essential to say because mostly she will be dieting.“Girl, so tell me what is going on with you. I can't hold it anymore.” She says.I have no option but to tell her. She is my friend anyway, and can keep my silly secret.“I am in love, Joyce.” I find myself saying.“With whom?, who is the lucky guy.” She asks. She was so eager to know.“With another guy in this office. I am telling you, he is so good-looking.” I say excitedly.“Who I want to know, girlfriend. I would like to see him too. Does he know you have feelings for him, or does he feel the same way.” She says.“Hey, what is with all those questions. Relax girl, I will answer you when the right time comes. Just relax babes.” I say to her.“What? I don't want to wait. Why leave me in suspense. Just answer me already.” She says. I know she loves to argue a lot. I have to find a way to evade her silly questions. Likewise, I can't answer all of them right now. I just want to know what Felix feels about me first so that I can be sure.“I promise to tell you. But not now, please. Let me figure it out first. I will tell you everything.” I say. It seems like she accepted it because she did not bring out the subject again.I just want to tell Felix what I feel for him. I want him to know how much he means to me. I just have to find an opportunity to do that, and I swear I won't waste it when I find perfect time to say what is in my heart.Felix POVI know by now Ella must have reached home already because it was already 2.00 pm, and she had not texted me yet. I might not love her anymore but I still care for her a lot. Just some few seconds I hear my phone's incoming message. I take it out and read it.Ella - Babe, I have reached home safely. Sorry I did not text sooner.Me - it's ok babe, I understand. I am happy that you are already there.Ella – me too babe, though I miss you a lot already. I feel like coming back to you. Me - babe, just enjoy sometime with your parents. I will be fine. Talk to you later, I have some work now.I did not feel like talking to Ella. She was so stubborn and boring occasionally. I mean we were just together this morning, how could she miss me in just some few hours? It was simply a pretence, and it was boring me so much. I was happy that she was already at her house. I was a bit worried that she had not texted me, but now that I knew she was alright my heart settled. I was glad that
Sarah's POVHe asked me for dinner. I am sure I was dreaming because if it was reality I will sure die of happiness. I pinch myself to confirm that I was not dreaming. “Felix, the man of my dreams, has finally asked me out for dinner date at his house. This was so much for me. How could I even refuse such a big offer? I was waiting for this moment for such a long time.already.” I say to myself, smiling.I remember when he had finally said it to me. 'I just wanted to invite you over for dinner, if you don't mind that is' those were his words. I mean, how could I even refuse him when I see like he was scared to ask me out and that he had gathered all his courage just to do that. I was just dying to be with him. I was glad that he had asked me that.Now all that I have to do is get myself ready. I don't want to be late at the dinner. I want to reach earlier than 8.00 pm so that I can spend some more time with him because he deserves to have some time with me.I hear a text message and I
Felix's POVSarah wonders where I have known her this much. It was just a coincidence because what I cooked was my favourite food too and I know how to cook it. There was no explanation to where I had known her favourite food.Spending some time with her was just beautiful. I loved every minute we spent together, she was so fun to be with.I told her what I really feel, that I want to know her more, but she declined my offer. She said it was too early, and I agree with her. We have known each other for about two weeks now, but I already like her too much that I cannot be without her. I will not give up until I am finally with her. But first I have to gain her trust.“It's already late Felix, I have to go now.” Sarah says. I look at my watch and it's already 10.30 pm. “It's still too early Sarah, I am really enjoying your company you know. Please don't go.” I find myself saying. I was so vulnerable in front of her, I could not control myself and my emotions.“Tomorrow is workday, and
Ella's POVThis is so un usual. I had not talked to Felix for a while now, and this was so unlike us. I wondered what was wrong in the relationship I was happy with. Something was entirely wrong and I felt a strange feeling inside of me.“What is wrong, Ella.” A voice takes me out of my thoughts. I realize I was just here physically because all my mind and soul was with Felix. I just felt like rushing to him right away.“Nothing dad.” I say. It was my dad, he was always concerned for me. I was his princess anyway, and it was his duty to worry about me.“I can see clearly that you have a problem, so please tell me so that I can help you.” He tries to convince me. I have never hidden anything from him, and I just could not hide my fear now. I had to tell him, so he could help me out with some advice.“It's Felix dad, he has been acting strangely lately, I don't know what is wrong with him. I am just worried, dad. I worry that he might leave me for someone else. I don't know what I will
Felix POVI feel like Ella was just disturbing me. I don't feel like talking to her a bit, she just calls me whenever she feels like it. Her excuse this time was that I had not texted her the whole day, and she was worried about me. It was so boring now. She tells me she will be coming over because she misses me and because I have something important to tell her. I think it's ok. She had every right anyway. I mean we are still together, until we break up, that is when she will stop coming here.I get home early, so I could clean the house. I have to clean every evidence that shows Sarah was here. Ella must not find out that I had brought a girl to the house because I don't know if she can handle it. “Babe I am here.” I hear Ella's voice from the door as soon as I am done cleaning. Luckily, she arrived when I had just finished and I went over to the door to welcome her in.“Welcome darling.” I say as I take her purse.“Thanks babe, today you arrived early from work I can see because
Ella's POVI knew that something was wrong with Felix, and today I have confirmed it. I could not understand why he changed in such a little time. I love him so much and there is no way I will allow our wedding to be cancelled because I refused to have a small wedding. Furthermore, I did not have any option but to agree to the condition he gave me.We have wasted so much time already, so there was no point on wasting any more time since the wedding would be small anyway. We started the wedding plans right away. There were so many things to buy and to prepare. So, we agreed it was better if I went home, so my parents could help me. “Why is Felix doing this to you, my daughter, you have wasted so much time with him already. I cannot allow my daughter to have some low-class wedding. I wonder why he is refusing my help even though he doesn't have any money.” My father said when I told him our current plans of the wedding.I had to explain things to him until he was convinced that it was
Felix's POVI know Ella is so happy about these all preparations for our wedding, but me, I was so bored. I never wanted this. I mean, I just wanted it when we were both in love with each other, but now I am certain that I don't feel the same way about her anymore. What I felt for her was purely friendship and nothing more.I just wish I could do something about the matter, but what should I do? I wish I could have just told Ella the truth that I don't love her anymore. But that would be so inhuman of me because she had devoted her whole life to me. I will totally heart break her. And i don't think I can bear seeing her hurt.We only had a week left. But I already felt like running away from this. I have a wedding next week, but my heart wants to be with another woman. “What is all this” I cannot help but wonder. Was something wrong with me. “Felix, can I talk to you please.” Sarah said to me. My heart skips a bit. I don't know what she wishes to talk to me about. My wedding was no
Sarah's POV“Girlfriend, have you heard the news?" Joyce asked me.“What news, tell me please.” I asked her with a lot of curiosity.“How come you are the only one who doesn't know about it. She says. I have never been a gossip, that is why I have not heard a thing, maybe. “Tell me please.” I say.“I have heard that Felix is getting married next week, I think. Everyone knows already.” “What.” I say as I tremble out of shock. How could Carlos do this to me. I mean, when I know that he loves me or was he pretending just to have me? I cannot help it. This was too much for me. I can't lose him whe i know how much I love him. I cannot live a day without him. I wish I had confessed my love for him a long time ago when I was in his house. But I had pretended that I was so hard to get. Maybe that is why he is getting married to someone else. I just can't stand this anymore.I look for him and I invite him over to my house. As promised, he comes, and we spend the evening together. It was
Ella's POV.After five months.Five months now after that bad day of our lives. We were happy again. The incident was already forgotten from our minds. It was time to move on from the past. We had a lot to focus on for the future.My mother had recovered completely. She was now using both her legs without any problem. She was so happy with her current condition. Things between her and dad were fine now. They went into being the loving couple they once were, and I was so proud of them. At last, my mom was happy with dad. They were now planning to renew their vows.“I just want a small wedding.” Mom said once and my dad was planning to go as per her wish.* * * * * * * * My daughter, Laura. Had completely recovered from the shock of that day. She had now resumed school, and she was doing so well in her studies. I was so proud of her. She was a strong girl, and I was so blessed to have her as my daughter. Luca and I were also together. Now, we saw each other all the time. I was so happy
Ella's POVSeeing my daughter in that situation made me feel so weak. I asked myself so many questions. Why was my daughter passing through so much? It wasn't fair to her. Right now, I am embracing my daughter so tightly. She was crying really hard. I just wanted to calm her down. She witnessed another murder in front of her when the police shot Sarah. They police were now taking Sarah's dead body to the morgue. My dad and mom were just there, staring with disbelief in their eyes. In such a short time, the whole party was ruined. Luca was there too, just holding my hand. His support made me feel safe and loved. “Let's go and sit there, love. You have been standing for a long time now. Your feet must be tired already. Laura baby, let me carry you please.” Luca says after the police leave with Sarah's body.“Yes baby. Let's go. I am already exhausted.” I say, and he carries Laura and takes us to where mom and dad were.“Mom, dad. Why is this always happening.” I say as I embrace my p
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
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.“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
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
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
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
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
