All Chapters of Love At Last Flight : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LEOI withdrew myself from her and realized that I had been kissing her. I wondered what had come over me to be kissing a woman that I barely knew. "You should go. I'm fine, but I need to rest."All she did was nod and reluctantly, she stood from the bed and headed to the door. "If you need anything, you can call me." She said after which she exited my room.I threw myself on the bed, counting the invisible stars that rested on the ceiling. I got lost in thoughts, thinking how I got trapped in a big mess at a very young age. My mother's unnecessary fight with my stepmom, Cora's aim to run the company herself, and her belief that I don't deserve anything better than what she has, Lilian's support, regarding the fact that her immediate family hated me so much. She was the only one who understood me.Clara's accusation of me getting her pregnant was what I found difficult to accept, but I could not deny it because I was very sure that we had sex on a rough crazy night

SARAH.Opening the door to the office with a feigned smile, I noticed the mood was different from usual. My departmental head, Mrs. Montana, stood in front of the room as everyone gathered around, all smiling at me.I was glad to be at work again, at least I wouldn't have to be with my fake, grumpy husband all day. "Our dear Sarah Powells.. no, Sarah Limbert, is resuming today. See how fat she has become in just two weeks of getting married. Welcome back honey, we have missed you." It was a sort of a welcome-back speech from Madam Montana. I was short of words on the kind of reception I received from them."What better way to welcome you back than a little celebration?." She said, as she reached into her drawer and pulled out a bottle of red wine.I accepted a glass of wine from her with so much relief and excitement. It was a small gesture but it meant so much to me. After everything I had been through, it was nice to be part of the team again."I'm so grateful

SARAHMy heart ached at the words that protruded from my mother's mouth. She had been scolding and cursing ever since I stepped into the house. I didn't go to see her, I was only there because my Dad sent for me. And thanks to Raya, who agreed to go along with me. "That's enough Leila!" My dad yelled."Let the poor girl breathe… She has gone through a lot."And there I sat, silent all through. Leo had requested that I find out how much it would cost to get back to the hotel from Anthonio. The knock on the door disrupted my mother's nagging as I sighted Anthonio forcing himself through the door. His protruded belly never ceased to amuse Raya as she would always chuckle anytime she saw him."How would you have married a man like Anthonio? I can't even imagine that!" She spat in a whisper.My mother rushed towards Anthonio, trying to help with his briefcase but he refused her help."Don't bother!" He pushed her aside and walked over to one of the sofas, thro

SARAHThe night was deep and cold. The moon and the stars were just enough to lighten up the earth and I stood by the train station, thinking of where to go, at least to lay my head for the night.I sat on the cold, metal waiting bench, and my hands were shaking from the chill in the air. The wind howled around me, whipping my hair into my face. I managed to pull my phone out of my bag and quickly unlocked it.My thumb hovered over the "call" button, as I thought if I should call the man with the menacing voice or if I should wait to see if he would call me first.Just as my mind raced, the buzzing of my phone brought me back to reality. Looking into the screen, I found an unknown number and I knew it was the guy with the menacing voice. "Your time is running out," he said, his voice low and threatening. "I'm going to waste Raya's life if you don't do what I say. Do you understand?" "I've already left Leo's house. I've ended everything with him. Please, just

SARAH."I think Anthonio is telling the truth. We may be fighting the wrong person." Leo said, confusion written all over his face."What if he's pretending?" I asked."Sarah is right. We can't just believe that he is innocent." Julian supported."It could be Clara!" Leo said.Julian and I both turned to him, at the hearing of what he had said. I adjusted myself, to have a proper view of Leo."That's true! She could be the brain behind it." I said, supporting Leo.It dawned on me that Clara was another person who could be held guilty if Anthonio was innocent. It made me go mad."It's Sarah, I'm sure of it." "Let's not conclude yet. Let's investigate this on our own, to be sure." Julian said."For how long are we going to keep investigating? Raya is in danger, she's with an unknown guy and I don't know how long he would let her live. " Leo and Julian promised to save Raya, but it was almost a week and we got nothing positive about it. The strange guy would call
