BIBLE- “Bar is not there, right now. Don’t worry” I saw the worried reaction on Sarah’s face and I knew the cause hence, I placed my hand on hers’. “But he will be there, eventually” she spoke slapping it away abruptly, I knew it was reasonable, she doesn’t want to get married to a certain man she doesn’t know. But at least have faith in me. “Do you want us to keep hiding? Is he not my brother? Should he not know about us?” I spoke raising my tone higher dominating her or else she won’t listen. I had to even though I didn’t want to, I want to my brother to know about us, we’ll see if he agrees or not later on. “I can hide forever, but I won’t meet him. He’ll kill us” she spoke in a teary voice and I gritted my teeth helplessly. “Don’t you trust me? Do you think I’d let that happen?” I spoke in a calmer voice than before; she’s a child and I don’t know what to do with her anymore. She went quiet all of a sudden while looking at me with a pitiful face. “Trust me, I won’t let anyth
BIBLE- I couldn’t sleep last night; Sarah was on the edge but I managed to put her to sleep as today is going to be chaotic. I know Bar’s flight has landed and he might have left the airport by now. I looked around and saw Sarah sleeping soundly, I don’t know if I’d get this chance again or not hence, placed a kiss on her forehead admiring every ounce of beauty and innocence she has. “Thanks for entering in my life” I spoke in a low voice and lied beside her watching her sleep. “Bible…” I heard Harvey strolling inside but I shushed him immediately. “She’s sleeping… keep it low” I spoke in a low voice and stood up. She seemed in a deep sleep and I didn’t wake her up. Looking at her as if it was for the last time, weird thoughts kept on hindering my mind as if something bizarre is going to happen. I wore my t-shirt and left while rubbing my eyes, adjusting to sunlight. Harvey was standing right in front of the room and we walked outside towards the garden. “It’s been so long sinc
SARAH- “Hey! You, okay?” Harvey barged in as I was sitting impatiently inside the room trying to hear what was happening outside. I didn’t hear any loud voice but it wasn’t helping to ease the pain inside my chest instead I felt heavier watching Harvey running in my direction. “What’s happening outside, where’s Bible?” I asked standing up abruptly while he looked like it wasn’t a big deal. “They’re calling you” he spoke while sighing heavily and I walked outside without panicking, though I was crying on the inside, I just wanted to see Bible. How is he? What’s going on? I barely know anything. “Uhm!” I fixed my throat as I saw them hugging each other, it seemed weirdly normal, but I started getting those bizarre vibes from him again which was creeping me out and I looked at him with cringe. Bar’s eyes landed on me and both of them broke their hug and moved away, I was slowly moving in Bible’s direction to hold his hand beginning to shiver with the fear that Bar’s look was causing
SARAH- “You’re here” “Bible… is that you?” I couldn’t see his face due to darkness and I saw a beast strolling in my direction. “Bar?” he entered inside the room and I turned the light on sitting straight on the bed, no matter how I feel about him, Bible respected him so I had no right to behave rudely. “Sarah Bert… you know when I first bumped into you, I knew that I wouldn’t settle for anything less. Your gaze gave me goosebumps but you were too busy leaving with that girl.” He started off with a weird conversation I wasn’t interested in. “Would you like to sit?” I asked out of politeness. “Oh! No, I'm fine. I ordered my brother to go fetch for the girl I met. And he undoubtedly found you, it seemed a little off with the way he kept you hidden though… ha-ha” his intimidating look was scaring me and I gripped onto the bedsheet for support. “I couldn’t believe my own brother betrayed me. It was going fine until he fooled me and sent to me Paris. Ha-ha, clever. I put Jack behind
SARAH- “I’ll kill you…” “Do it! Jack and Mikael standing outside won’t shiver like you when they shoot Bible” he spoke placing his hands on his waist, I caused so many people to die, Bible shouldn’t be one of them. I don’t know what to do anymore, it’s just making my heart bleed, I can’t kill myself or even him. There’s no escape, not even death. “Give up…” he spoke extending his arm out asking for the gun perhaps, he read it in my eyes that I can’t kill him or even myself, I would’ve done it if Bible’s like wasn’t at stake. What can I do in a situation like this? Should I cry, but I already am. I handed over the gun to him with my hands shivering in fear, his attention was at the gun he was about to hold and I suddenly kicked him making way for myself to move out. my steps halted as he quickly fired in the air making me turn around. “You can’t kill me” I spoke with surety knowing that he really wants to have me and can’t kill me before satisfying himself. He looked at me trying
BIBLE- “Why are we sitting here like we need this deal?” Harvey spoke in my ear and I looked at the clock, the meeting which was supposed to be held at 3 hasn’t took place by 6 which was making me angry. “I don’t know, Bar specifically told me that it’s important because of what happened between us two the last time. We’ve got to attend this.” I spoke and kept on waiting for them to arrive. “Hey… shouldn’t we go eat something at least?” Harvey spoke caressing his stomach. “Order something we’re not leaving this place until we meet those bastards” I spoke and crossed my legs getting tired from waiting for the Russians to arrive. I called them once and they said it’s flight delay. We ate but still kept on waiting for them, it was 12 now, I thought I’d go out and buy something after the meeting ends. “All the shops must’ve been closed by, right?” Harvey spoke as he knew what I was planning. He was the first one I consulted about marrying Sarah, that’s why I talked to her about being
SARAH- “Ah… I'm going crazy over you” Bar spoke while applying ointment on my wounds he caused. I was simply sitting like a dead with his shirt on. He made me wear it saying it’s cute while I couldn’t object him anymore. He wasn’t leaving, many hours passed, I couldn’t sleep while he kept on thumping himself inside me forcefully for hours, he got tired and slept but cuffed his hand with mine in case I try to escape. I couldn’t he kept the gun far away from my reach and I couldn’t move as he wrapped me in his arms. It wasn’t lovely, it was pathetic as I felt like I was a living corpse. I looked at my alarm and it was seven in the morning; he woke up surprisingly early and ordered his men to bring the first aid kit. “I dug my fangs really deep, I'm sorry, is it hurting?” he spoke with a worried look and I felt nothing, I wanted to kill him, the way he was touching me thinking it’s love, it wasn’t, it was creeping me out. I was disgusted by his mere presence. Bible wasn’t here, I do
BIBLE- “Don’t worry, it might not be that scary” Harvey spoke as I exceeded the speed limit while driving, I don’t know something doesn’t feel right, no one’s picking their phone up. I'm scared, I'm genuinely scared, I want to see Sarah. “I want to see Sarah… that’s all I want” I pulled the car in front of the house and strolled inside only to see Liza lying on the floor like a corpse, I shouted her name loudly while couldn’t help my tears falling from my eyes as I saw her body covered with blood. I cried her name out loud and saw Theo’s body lying around the corner, what happened here? Why are they dead? When I finally found my mother, destiny took her from me, even before I could embrace her in my arms. I could be scolded by her, I don’t know… I know nothing, Liza was dead… I couldn’t handle the pain, I behaved so rude last time, I don’t even remember what I said to her to. What were my last words, they weren’t full of love I believe. “Sarah!!” I heard a loud noise and looked a
HARVEY-“Tessa, can you listen to me”“No, I don’t want to”“Tessa… I love you” I spoke giving up and she finally stopped. Last night was hectic and I drank a lot, we never got to talk about our kiss but what I did yesterday made her angry.“Go love that whore” she replied in anger.“I was trying to make you jealous; I didn’t even touch her, it was just a few glasses and nothing else” I was explaining myself but I knew the way she reacted, she feels something for me too.“I don’t get jealous for jerks like you, let me be” she spoke again and started leaving, I ran picking her up in my arms and jumped into the pool. “What are you doing, leave me” she spoke but I didn’t give her any chance to fight.I pressed my lips onto hers and she began hitting me with all her might, we were wet and I was losing it, a devil like Bible is on the verge of getting married while a saint like me hasn’t even expressed my feelings for the girl I love.She stopped hitting and the forced kiss turned into a p
BIBLE-“Yes, who are you?”“Uh! I'm Mason… Mason Chester” I couldn’t believe my ear and felt a huge shock taking me back to my misery, I looked at Harvey who didn’t even have the courage to look back into mine.Sarah was standing right beside who didn’t have any idea about my past, my surname. The other day, Harvey and I talked about if I wanted to see my real father and I clearly said no, the surname Chester was the indication that he was m---my father.“W---what happened? Who is he?” she asked grabbing my elbow slowly caressing it with his thumb, she sensed it too but I was dumbstruck not know what to say.“I'm sorry… but I couldn’t let him leave since he wanted to talk” Harvey explained himself, it’s not how this is supposed to happen. I'm finally happy with my life and I need no more drama.“Bible…”“Bible Holding” I corrected him even though I remember that my mother was never married to him, then why did she write her surname as Chester? “Please show him the way out” I spoke loo
SARAH-“You disappointed me, you chose to live with someone who killed your father. You chose him over me…”“What the fuck Hardin, stop the car” I yelled not getting scared of the gun aiming in my direction. “You know what, I'm so done with your abduction tricks, it just never gets old does it?” I roared not losing my calm.“Little Sarah has finally grown up…” Hardin mocked me and I felt anger pulsating in my veins. I placed my hand on the gun and pressed the magazine releasing it with my thumb, Amias taught me how to disassemble a gun and surprisingly I became master in it. I pull the slide back and locked it open with the slide stop lever.He taught me that once, the slide is open, look into the chamber and ensure that no ammunition remains in the gun. It was open in no time leaving Hardin and his partner in shock. “If I know how to destroy it, I very well know how to use it as well. Stop the car before I define the word terror in detail”Words automatically fell from my mouth, I kn
BIBLE-“Where’s Sarah?” I rang the bell and the old lady opened the door while I was expecting Sarah to run into my arms with a broad smile on her face.“What do you mean? Didn’t you send someone to pick her up?” she said and my mind went blank, this isn’t what I was expecting. “Are you kidding me? If this is some sort of joke, please don’t do this.” I spoke not caring about the honorifics.“Sarah! Come out, don’t mess with me” I yelled not believing her words, it might be some sort of joke just to piss me off. I waited for her to come. “Sarah… I'm starting to get angry” I roared again but no response while her mother was only looking at me in shock.“I'm telling you; you asked your man to pick her up.”“What do you mean? Didn’t I say, I’d be coming here?” I ran inside and found nothing; I called Harvey to know if he had sent someone in my place, but he clearly said no.I thought Bar had learnt his lesson but he clearly doesn’t want our mercy, I’m just too tired with his stubbornness.
SARAH-“Do you wanna stay?” he asked as I was cutting my pork dropping all the battle happening between them. He knew I would like to stay since I’ve finally found my mother.“Can I come back home tomorrow?” I asked him politely and he smiled at me in agreement. We finished eating and he stood up leaving. “Wait… already?” I asked while turning and he nodded.“I’ve got to deal with something, it’s already late” he spoke coming closer to me, my mom was sitting right around the corner so I prayed that he shouldn’t kiss me. Or else, she’s gonna talk about this all the time.I eyed him saying no as I saw him leaning forward, it was slow to notice his actions but too fast to dodge the kiss. I looked at my mother eyeing us from the corner of my eyes until he suddenly kissed my forehead. “I'm saving that one for later”He slowly whispered into my ears making me smile like a joker, I pushed him away concealing my smile from both of them but failed and he started leaving. “Wait…” my mother stoo
BIBLE-Since the day when she left without giving me the answers, I lost it. I didn’t hate her but couldn’t find the courage to talk to her about that. I tried to focus on everything but her, I couldn’t, knowing that I'm vulnerable around her.I tried to talk but couldn’t muster up the courage anymore, I would go to work and end up shooting someone in the spur of the moment, Harvey tried to talk it through but I failed. I couldn’t process anything anymore and just simply wanted to get the torture towards the end.I started killing people, ruthlessly and far worse than what Bar used to do. The vow I took of not killing anyone just vanished into thin air, my ten-year-old self would be hating me now as I broke the promise, but promises are meant to be broken.Some were happy and cheering me for the way I was becoming while some who were closed to me got really scared. I got praises as I was maintaining the fear the Holdings have always held on everyone. It was enough to calm me down but
SARAH-He woke up early and I didn’t find him near me as sunlight hit my eyes waking me up. It looked at the time and it was eight in the morning; he wouldn’t have left and I believed he’d come back to take a shower.I got up and washed my face, last night I couldn’t talk to him, he was in pain but I was glad he came to me even though he was unconscious, his inner self calls and yearns for me, I wouldn’t want to ruin this relationship.I heard someone opening the door while I had soap in my eyes, “Bible? Is that you?” I asked walking out of the bathroom. “Hey! Watch out…” I heard him roar all of a sudden and bumped into the wall in front of me, where did that come from, I felt his steps running in my direction and he quickly took me inside in order to wash my face.I felt the tingling sensation near my temple and looked up in the mirror, “It’s bleeding…” I looked at him through the mirror and he scoffed at my reaction slowly taking the first aid kit outside.He held my hand making me
SARAH-We were drifting apart, slowly, but I could see it. the distance between us was suddenly so huge that I couldn’t cover it or cope up with the anxiety coming with it. things had changed so dramatically as whenever I'm sleeping, he would simply come to check on me for once and leave.He didn’t talk to me after that, not that he never tried but got caught off guard that morning, we were sleeping in separate rooms for days now, and more I think about this being a normal thing it just never made sense.He wasn’t angry, he was just… wasn’t him. he saw me training with Amias but never chose to interrupt and the longest conversation we had in the past few days was;“Hey! Uh, do you know what happened between Tessa and Harvey?” I asked trying to start a conversation with him, he looked at me with his normal gaze and stood up while wearing his shoes.“No… t---t Harvey is avoiding her” he spoke and stormed off the room like I had pointed a gun on his forehead. I could see him leaving but
SARAH- “I know, I'm not the right person for you, I ruined your childhood and I have nothing to defend myself with. The only thing I have is my love for you which is never gonna deteriorate. It’s impossible for you to not hate me but it would be so hard to hang to without you.” “Please don’t leave me Sarah… it feels like I'm begging you knowing that it’s wrong as I am the most horrendous person you’ve ever met. I have no right to ask you for anything, but I’d be dead without you” I wasn’t sleeping, but his words definitely made me want to hug him tightly, I held onto his hand not letting him go as I needed him but also, my mind couldn’t forget about what happened with my father. Should I really blame him for something that happened so long ago? Wouldn’t it be too mean of me, but he was my father after all, how can I stay happy with the man who killed my father. “Sarah!!” I heard Tessa’s voice and felt him leaving, I got up and hugged her tightly trying to forget the problems I’ve
