Chapter 70

Sarah's POV She was gradually getting a hold of her uncontrollable laughter, and I patiently waited for her to say something to me. “You should have seen how pathetic you looked there” She chuckled. I don't understand. “What are you trying to say?” I asked to get more clarity on what she was trying to insinuate. “The way you begged me to trust you. Sarah, you're such a clown” She said. I don't know where the conversation is going. I was filled with bewilderment as I folded my arms and remained in a sitting position. “You actually thought I was going to cry. I just wanted to see if you would tell me something interesting about you and John, but it was a waste” Rosaline said while she continued styling my hair. Out of frustration and anger, I removed her hand from my hair and looked at her reflection in the mirror as she fixed her eyes on me as well. “You think that was funny? I was a bit tense there” I replied. “I don't get the hang of it. Why would you be tense?” She asked curious

Chapter 71

John's POVWhat did I just say? I love her! I don't know what her reaction was going to be. I can feel my heart rate going up. No, my head is spinning. I can't think straight. Water! I need water!Sarah looked like she was trying to process what she had just heard. “I am sorry sir” She said confusingly. I didn't expect this kind of reaction. I trusted my instincts. I could tell that she was in love with me.“Pardon!” I asked politely. I had taken a cup of water and was able to control the unwanted sensations that were just going through my nerves.“I am sorry, sir, I didn't hear you well,” She stuttered. I could tell how hard it was for her to make that sentence.“I don't know how it sounds. But it is the truth. I am not lying this time. I love you, Sarah” I said while keeping close eye contact with her.“The last time you said this, I was made a fool out of it” She highlighted. I clearly remember toying with her heart then. I wish she could just see the amount of love I have for her.

Chapter 72

Sarah's POVI did not know how to express the amount of shock my brain tried to absorb at that moment. I had gotten a call from John to come downstairs, which I didn't hesitate to oblige. Just to meet a brand new car parked outside the house. He had my name boldly written on the windshield of the car. That was to show that the car was mine. “You have a car my love” He had his arms open while he stood next to the car. I quickly rushed towards him and had myself sink into his warm embrace. I didn't see this coming. “Are you serious? Am I dreaming?” I sobbed softly on his shoulder. He gave me a soft pat on the back while caressing my hair slowly. “Yes, it's yours. Here are the keys” He flaunted it to my face. I wasn't quite acquainted with the skill of driving, so he opted to take the car on a run for me. I entered the passenger side, while John entered the driver's seat. It was a porsche. A four wheel drive. I don't know too much about cars, but I know this one moves very fast.

Chapter 73

John's POVIt just came as an urge. The urge to tell her something regarding my life. A secret I have always tried to keep, even away from myself. There she was, eager and ready to hear what I had to say. I took a deep breath and looked her in the eyes. Her heart was too pure, and she looked very innocent. I didn't want to say anything that would scare her, but I had to take the risk. “You're just quiet. I don't have a problem if you decide to keep it to yourself” she said. She cares about me. A lady who has seen through my heart of stone, and yet she still found in me a man worthy to be loved.“I want to talk. My past relationship with Rebecca” I cleared my throat. “It was one of the sweetest relationships if you ask me,” I said. I know I should not be talking about this now. I have said something similar to her, but I don't know why I was prompted to just bring up the topic.“I thought you said you'll never tell me about her ?” she asked. “I guess I have, but you need to hear

Chapter 74

John's POVI certainly didn't want to lose my life, so I was very careful. A gun was next to my head, and if I made any careless move, he was going to pull the trigger. So silly of me not to have realised that Marshal could do something like this. “Stay back. I will shoot” He shot the gun upwards, threatening them that he had the grit to kill me. Fortunately for me, I had quite a sound knowledge about combat. Disarming him was easy. First, a hit from my elbow to the right side of his stomach. That hit affected his liver. I quickly used that advantage to disarm him of the gun. Poor Marshal was now at my mercy. He went on his knees, as he groaned from the pain of that hit. “I am sorry. I will bring your money now” He pleaded. I wasn't in the mood to just let somebody who tried to kill me like that. “You're no longer in a position to set terms here. I am going to tell you what to do” I said firmly. My boys went ahead and carried him back to the chair he was tied to earlier. Th

Chapter 75

John's POVI agreed to his promise anyway. This was a case of my money, and I wasn't a party to accommodating anybody who tries to steal from me.“Start talking, my friend,” I said with a soft smile on my face.“This lady walked up to me in my office,” He started. The beginning got my attention anyway.“She offered to pay me with the money we stole from you, if I was able to provide information regarding you” He continued.“Which information?” I asked curiously.“She asked if I had any information regarding your girlfriend. Her background, anything that the CIA could provide” He said.“Why will a lady be looking for so much?” I asked with a perplexed look on my face.“Look John, this is too much for me to answer. I have told you all I know. She also threatened to kill me if I leaked our deal to anyone. Even you” He barked.“I bet you, this is our little secret. I need you to ID this woman for me. Is it this lady here?” I brought out a picture of Rebecca that I had in my suit.He was h

Chapter 76

Sarah's POVI don't know how he entered the car, but there he was. An armed man. He ordered me strictly not to look back.He already pointed a gun at me, right at the back of my head. “What do you want from me?” I asked nervously.My limbs were already shaking, and I had started sweating profusely. Simply as a result of the overwhelming fear of losing my life.There was no doubt that his gun was loaded, and I couldn't tell if he was against killing me or if he was here to kill me.“Just keep quiet” he shushed me immediately. I couldn't shout anyway. There was no use.My head could get blown off with his bullets before help will arrive.Just then, John opened the door and entered the car. He then placed another gun behind John's head and asked him to quietly sit down.“Now, lock the doors, ” he said. John turned to look at me, and he realised I was in the same condition as him.He tried turning back, but the man gave him the same instructions. John didn't dare to turn anywhere.Between

Chapter 77

Sarah's POVI had to pause the massage for a while there. The shock had gotten me down to my nerves.It is one thing to have a man who loves you, and it is one thing for you to have a man who just reads your emotions.I would have understood him asking that question if he was looking into my eyes.But he wasn't looking at all. I was behind him. On top of his back, giving him a massage.Was it the way I was doing it?Did something change?I had several questions popping in and out of my brain, begging for urgent answers.“Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?” he asked curiously. This time, he made an attempt to roll over, so I just came down from his back and laid next to him on the bed.“How….How did you do it?” I was forced to ask that question.“I don't understand,” He said confusingly.“I mean, how did you know I had a troubled heart back there?” I made the question easy for him to understand.He just let out a soft smile and looked into my eyes.“I know how it feels when you mass

Chapter 78

Sarah's POVIt was a heartfelt moment. I just cringed to mum in a tight hug.I couldn't hold back the flow of tears, and she couldn't either.After a little while of some emotion filled moment, we went into the house as I dragged my luggage with me.We took a seat on the sofa, as I prepared to entertain any question my mother was going to throw at me.She wiped off her tears and raised her face to look me in the eyes. “Where have you been, Sarah?” She asked calmly.I could see the pain in her eyes. The pain of having not seen her daughter for months now.The last time we met, I was not sure it ended up in a good way. I can't remember much from the incident.“Mum, it's a long story. But I will try to be brief” I replied. There was no way I could opt out from telling her what she needed to know.“There better be a way you can because I deserve a hell of an explanation.” She said firmly.“I have been away working. I tried returning, but my paperwork took some time to get processed.” I ha

Chapter 79

John's POVI felt so bad that I was now left alone. I never knew that Sarah's vacation was going to take a toll on my emotions this way.I have been just fantasising about her return since she called me to tell me that she had reached her mother's house.She sounded very happy over the phone, and I wasn't ready to spoil that fun for her.I was going to stay the whole……“Mr. Stones” my PA called out.I was in the middle of a meeting with my employees, and I got carried away by my thoughts.“I am sorry, sir. You seemed to have drifted a bit” my PA pointed.It's a good thing that he called my attention there. I had totally forgotten that I was in the middle of a meeting.“There is no problem. You can continue. I think I was just lost for a while there.” I replied.My employees all had their eyes on me. Some looked pretty worried.While some looked shocked. I could tell that they were surprised to see me in such an unfocused mood.Most of them see me as a well disciplined man.I need to g
