The next day, I was sleeping and I heard a knock on the door. Amy spoke few words but everything went above my head, I didn't hear anything. I looked at my watch and just said, "Amy it's just 9 a.m. It’s weekend today, I don't have to work today. Let me sleep more." She opened the door and came in and pulled my blanket. I looked at her with half closed eyes and said, "What are you doing?" She said very slowly, "Keep your voice low, Louis is out."
I said, "So?" Just when I realized what she said, I woke up and screamed, "What?" She said, "He is in the lobby. He said that you are going out with him today." I got up and said, "Why did he come so fast? Amy, please do me a favor. Talk to him until I come out." I ran towards my bathroom and had a quick shower and I wrapped myself with a towel and went out in my room. Just when I stepped out of the bathroom, Louis also entered and he saw me. I was so embarrassed that I screamed and he turned back as soon as I screamed.
I was still running but Louis grabbed me. He faced me and he said, "I am sorry, Sarah. I should not have done it. Just punish me but do not leave like this. I promise I will not kiss you from now. I will not touch you without your consent. I will wait for you." I looked at him with tears and he wiped my tears. I said, "No, I am sorry. I slapped you. I... I was reminded of Charlie. He also promised me to protect me and always be there for me like you are promising but he left me. So, I don't know, but I am not being able to trust you maybe I am afraid."He replied, "I will not do anything without getting your permission from now. Trust me, I am not like Charlie. I do not promise the things I cannot fulfill. You can take your time." I did not know what to say, so I said, "Let's go. I am tired." We went to the car and the whole ride we both were silent. I only looked out of the window and he drove. After we reached my place, I spoke, "Louis, I don't know whether to thank you or
A WEEK LATERI woke up early because of alarm. I was expecting some calls or messages but I did not get any. I was a little sad because it was my twenty eighth birthday and no one had even sent me a text. I freshened up and went to kitchen. There was a ring on the bell. I excitedly went to open the door because I thought Andrew came to wish me in person. But nothing happened as I expected. As I opened the door. I was smiling brightly but… "Hey, lovey, I am here to eat. Please make me breakfast also. I am a little busy with my work. I will be in the lobby." He splurged all those words and went to lobby. I looked at his back. I felt sad. I thought he would remember. He never missed my birthday but... I thought that he was just busy with his work so he forgot. So, I went to kitchen and made us breakfast. I called him to kitchen after setting the table. He came with a document in his hand. He looked at the document the whole time and did not even speak to me. I got u
~AFTER SARAH WENT OUT Andrew texted in the group chat letting everyone in the group which was especially made for Sarah's birthday by Louis, to let them know that Sarah left for office. He also said that it was really hard for him to even look at Sarah as he could not wish her a happy birthday. The group chat was filled with messages. The first one was Louis, "Great! Sunny, Bailey, Edward, Shining and Eva (members of Sarah's firm and Eva is the receptionist) I hope you all also don't let her know anything and keep her busy with works. The five of them: Okay! Louis: Everyone, please get going to Sarah's apartment. We have lots of work to do. Mr. and Mrs. Watson, I will be there to pick you all from your home. Mr. Watson: Okay! Alice: I am so excited but I am feeling sad because I have not wished her yet. Mrs. Watson: Yes, we should at least wish her. I don't want her to get sad on this day anymore. I was such a fool that I
I was in front of the door and I opened it. My eyes getting hot and red. I went in and closed the door and I felt someone was behind me. I thought I was being robbed so I swung the bag and turned back which hit the person's body behind me. Suddenly, the beautiful lights were turned on and "Surprise!!!" lots of voices were there and flowers were being showered at me. I saw that it was Louis whom I hit. I didn't know what to say. I was surprised but Louis had not much impact from my bag. So, he also said, "Surprise!!" I was already in tears. I could see more people even those whom I haven't met from so long. There were my parents in the middle. There were Andrew, Alice, Louis, Louis's mother, Nancy, members of my law firm, Amy and my friends from Exohub (Jennie, Saff, Dora, Shawn and David) Alice's fiancée, John and one more lady.My apartment looked really different from the place where I was standing. I felt loved. I had thought no one remembered my birthday but everyo
Andrew picked up a cup and he asked, "Why do you think like that? Do you have such feelings for me?" He questioned me instead so I said, "Alice was saying things like that. I guess she was just trying to pull my leg." Andrew assured, "Don't worry lovey, we are just best friends. I do not have such feelings for you." After he said it I felt relieved and went to give him a friendly hug, "Thank god. I don't know what I would have done if you said you had such feelings."We resumed cleaning and in the middle he sat on the sofa to rest but ended up sleeping. So, I covered him with a thin blanket and said, "You worked too hard. Thank you Andrew for being with me all these years." I finished cleaning and went to my room and slept. The next day, I was tired, so I woke up late also because I didn't have to go to the law firm. Andrew had already went and my family also had already left. My mom had left a note. "We didn't wake you up because we thought you must have been tired. I have a
I changed and I sat on the sofa and I remembered that Andrew had got a big case so I thought he might be stressed. So, I went to his apartment. He opened the door. I went in and saw lots of files on the table. I said, "I heard that you are prosecuting the famous case. You might be stressed." He said, "Yes it is. How come you are here?" I teased him, "Why? Can I not come?" I laughed and said, "I am going to prepare dinner for us."I went to kitchen and I made dinner. After setting the table, I called him. He came along with a document. I snatched it away from him, he looked stunned and I said, "Don't stress yourself too much. You can talk to me about it. I might help you find something you haven't seen yet. But, No looking at files while eating!" He smiled and said, "Oka...y boss!"While eating he talked about the case. I even gave him some hint also. I said, "You will surely win this case." He smiled and said, "Obviously, I will. No one can beat me until it's you, love
ONE WEEK LATERTHE FIRST TRIALANDREW'S POINT OF VIEWI was already prepared for the trial and I could not be in contact with Sarah for this whole time after that day when she made me dinner. I was hoping that she would come to the court to support me. I was confident in winning but I wanted her to wish me luck also so I was waiting. There were lots of people outside of court in the prosecuting team's support. They were chanting some phrases in support of prosecution team. There were people from media too. My colleague who is also in the same case with me asked, "Do you know who will be in the defending side?" I shook my head and said, "No, why?" He said, "The attorney who will be defending is still not exposed. Maybe no one is going to defend." I was shocked hearing that but I said, "No, I guess there will be someone to defend. There are lots of lawyers who can be bought by his filthy money."We went inside the court room. Everyone was already ther
HAPPY READING!!!AFTER FIVE DAYSTHE SECOND TRIALOne hour before the trial started, Sarah's phone rang. She picked it up. It was Janol Patrick. He said, "I did not congratulate you for winning the first trial. So, congratulations and I know you will do well. I could have chosen any lawyer but since you are famous, there might be possibility that people will think that my son is really innocent. So, don't worry about anything else and win it." After the call, her phone rang again, it was Louis.He asked, "Did you eat breakfast?""No, why?""Can I come and join you for breakfast?""No, let's just meet outside. My parents are already in worry because of me, I don't want to trouble them anymore right now."They met in a restaurant and they had breakfast first and Louis asked, "Can I come with you until you reach the court room safely?" Sarah declined and said, "Thank you for your concern but you are a f
He opened the diary and read it with tears falling, "Well, I don't know if I can ever forgive you Louis. I had never expected that you… you will... (A dried drop of tear on the paper) you will divorce me. I was thinking how you could forget the vows we made in our marriage but maybe you never wanted to fulfill those promises so you… I still remember how you promised me, to love me until your last breath and to always know that when challenges arise we will always find our way back to one another.You said that your heart entirely belonged to me after that day. How could give your heart to someone else now? (A drop of tear on the paper) I thought that we will be together with each other until we turn old but how can I now when you are not here with me, when you do not trust me.I freed you from the promises you made, from the burden you have. I signed those papers you sent me.I might also forgive you for our child but I don't think so I will be able to love you again. I hav
I heard crying voices from the door. Andrew was crying and... I heard a name while he cried.... "Sarah..." I felt my legs weak but I hoped nothing bad had happened. I slowly took my steps in and saw Sarah lying on the bed lifeless.AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEWAndrew saw Louis and he stood up and punched his face. "Why are you here? Get lost. Just get lost." He punched him again and a little blood came from Louis's mouth. Emma stopped Andrew and Louis went towards the lifeless body of Sarah. He sat down near her and kept her head on his lap and said, "Sarah, wake up. I am here Sarah. Your Louis is here to take you back. I know I was wrong and I am sorry but please wake up. Please wake up and tell me you are pranking me. Wake up and slap me... Sarah... Sarah... wake... up..." His tears were flowing and he sat there trying to wake her up. He finally cried... and cried and cried... "Sarah... please... wake... up... Let's... go home... together..."
ONE DAY BEFORE THE DELIVERYSARAH'S POINT OF VIEWI just felt too lonely. I called my parents on the landline number. My mom picked up and I heard her voice, "Hello?" I could not control my tears and finally said after wiping my tears, "Mom..." She paused for a second and said, "I don't have any child. I guess you dialed the wrong number." and she ended the call. I cried and I just looked at another phone and wiped my tears and... and finally called him. After a long time, I finally heard his voice, "Hello?" I did not say anything, I just let my tears fall down and stayed quiet. He said again, "Hello?" and I did not reply and I just heard his breathing for a while. I guessed that he finally find out that I called.After few minutes, I hung up the phone and cried and smiled and talked to my baby, "Did you hear your father's voice? It will be the first and last time you will hear his voice. After I give you birth we will go far away from here and liv
I thought about all the moments I spent with the people I loved and cared about. I remembered all the pains I had to suffer. I closed my eyes and I turned back because it was not only my life now. I had my baby with me. I kept my hands on my stomach and spoke, "Don't worry my baby, Momma will be there for you. I will give you all my love. I will..." I cried. I just was there until the morning and I walked away.LOUIS'S POINT OF VIEWI was too drunk when I was home. I could not find her. She was gone. I saw the note and finally I felt as if my life was ended. Now, there will never be happiness in my life. "I loved you Sarah and I still love you. Only if you told me the truth, I would have forgiven you. Did you really love me all these days?" I looked at the note and said.The next day, I called her parents to know if she was there but they said she wasn't. I then called John to bring Scott. As Scott was there he said, "We will never co
I was still in a shock and I was going to answer but... Scott spoke, "Sarah... Sarah... please let's leave together. I know that you want our child to have a better future but this is not right. I will do anything for us. Please tell them that I did not kidnap you and you came on your own with me. If you won't tell it then… then these people will not leave me. Please remember the time we spent together. I know you love me." I was dumbfounded. I said, "What do you mean? What... do you mean by… by our child? ... I just... I have not even met you after that day... what do you mean by time we spent together."Louis asked me, "You have met before?" I answered, "Yes, we studied extra classes together in high school days and..." Scott interrupted, "Yes, please tell them that we loved each other since those days. We were a couple and we also... you enjoyed when I touched you since those days." I just could not believe why he was speaking all those so
When two days passed and I did not get any ransom call, the police said that she might not have been kidnapped and went on her own. I shouted at them because I knew Sarah would never do that. One month passed, I did not get any message of her. I kept searching but still I did not get any news of her. As one month passed, I got a courier delivered for me in my office. I ignored at first but I saw "Sarah" on the envelope, so I opened it and... I could see lots of photos where Sarah enjoyed with a man. The last photo was the most heartbreaking one. She was on bed and... covered with blanket... hugged by a man that was naked but covered with blanket and... it was a selfie. I could not believe my eyes and I thought all of these were nonsense but... but... when I saw another document attached... I... I felt sad... but still I wanted to trust her and listen everything from her own mouth. Even after that document was delivered, Sarah did not return.The next day, when I
LOUIS'S POINT OF VIEWAs I was in a business trip we talked to each other daily through calls. I was missing her a lot as 15 days passed and it seemed as if I was far for years already. On the fifteenth day, I tried to call her but she did not pick up her phone. I tried to call her so much and as she was not picking up so I called mom and mom told that she was not in home. I was scared because she never did that. I started worrying and suddenly I got a call. I picked it up and a voice came from the other side "Open the door." As soon as I heard the voice I ran towards the door because it was Sarah. I opened the door and as soon as I saw her I hugged her.We went in by hugging and closed the door. We hugged each other for few minutes and I said, "I missed you so much." She parted and looked at me and gave me a peck kiss and said, "I missed you more." I smiled and gave her another kiss. I carried her in my arms and headed towards the bedroom. We made love.
ANDREW'S POINT OF VIEWI heard the news of Sarah's wedding. As her best friend I wanted to go to give her my best wishes but I did not because she was also my first love and my feelings for her had not end yet. I could ruin her wedding also which I did not want. I just spent the day with Emma as she knew about the wedding. She consoled me and she also said, "You are so lucky that you don't have to go to her wedding but I will have to face everything from my eyes soon." I felt pity for her also and promised her that I will join her to the wedding. I had a talk with Nancy and she sent me few pictures of wedding. I was sad and happy. But I could see how good both of them looked together so I just blessed them with good wishes.SARAH'S POINT OF VIEWLouis drove and we soon were in a yacht. I mean it was so beautifully decorated and the only ones were two of us with few workers and guards. I was so amazed to see everything he prepared. We just enjoyed t
The night before the wedding, I was on my room. I was really happy and excited and nervous but also I was sad because my best friends will not be with me on the big day of my life. I felt like everything was like a dream. It was really hard for me to sleep. The next day, we went to the venue and I could see lots of security staffs. Of course Louis was the most successful business man so there were strict security and no one could enter without the invitation. The decorations was huge. I could see "LOUISARAH" decorated by flowers on the entrance also. I went with my parents and we changed our outfits. The make-up artists and hair stylists also did my makeup and hair. I was expecting to see Andrew and Alice but I knew they won't come. However Alice called me and she saw me and congratulated and gave me her best wishes and I was glad that Amy was there with me. I waited for the announcement of the bride's entry. I was really very nervous.LOUIS'S POINT OF VIEW
