“Peter, what the fuck!”, Sarah spluttered, eyes wide with shock, after the man released her.“Why aren’t you picking my phone? And why have you changed your number?”, the bearded man with towering height, intimidating demeanor, sharp jawline and piercing grey eyes bore down on her.“What’s up? Why have you followed me to Phuket?”, Sarah counter questioned, not answering the man’s query.“Dr Torres is dying. He has cancer. Stage 3. He wants to meet you. He’s in Bangkok at present, but will be attending the Writer’s conference at Pattaya day after tomorrow. He is expecting you to make an appearance there and meet some top movie moghuls who have been pestering him to buy the rights of some of your writings”, Peter informed her.“Dr Torres has cancer? God!”, tears started dropping from Sarah’s eyes as her voice shook.“How long has he been unwell? Where is he getting treatment from? And why has he come to attend the conference if he is suffering?” Sarah asked rubbing her tears, smudging he

Chapter 34 :“It must be from either Dr Keith Torres or his son Peter”, Sarah decided to partly come clean before Amelia opens her mouth and cause trouble.“Dr Torres was our professor from University. He also runs a publishing firm. I was one of his favorite students. Unfortunately Dr Torres has been afflicted with cancer. He is now in the 3rd stage, and his health is failing. He has come to Bangkok nonetheless to attend a two-day writers convention in Pattaya to be held from day after tomorrow, and wants to meet me” , Sarah said while pressing Amelia’s hand as a signal for her to keep shut.She knew that the men would go absolutely ballistic if they hear about the kidnapping effort.“But you’ve changed your number recently. How did they get your number?”, Henry asked.“Oh we bumped into Peter in the trinket market in the morning, and he took my number”, Sarah said casually.“Maybe I and Amelia can go to Pattaya for a day and meet Dr Torres when you men attend the medical conference?

Back at Leo Ad agency, Robert was winding up his work before his impending trip to Thailand. His assistant Josiah barged into Robert’s room all excited.“Boss I have finally found out about Butterflies Ad Agency and Sophia Baker”, he breathlessly announced.Robert raised his brow in anticipation.“Butterflies Ad Agency has divided equity partnership among four partners. Sophia Baker is one of the partners. She is a divorcee. She was previously married to construction tycoon, millionaire Kenneth Brown. It seems Kenneth is still hung up on his college crush, a woman called Lucy Morris and was banging her in the 5-star Marina Hotel by the Bay when Sophia walked in on them. She had since then filed for divorce even though the entire Brown family had undertaken to drill sense into Kenneth and requested her not to break her marriage. The proceedings were very messy with charge and counter- charge. Kenneth did not want to divorce Sophia, more so because his father threatened to disinherit hi

“Sarah’s in danger. We have to reach her”, Henry pulled Dr Sam aside. The Medical conference was nearing its end for the day and the delegates were just about to go for high tea.“What!”, Dr Sam was shocked. “Danger?”“Yes. Her bastard ex, Robert Hudson has landed in Bangkok. He’s probably checked us out at this Medical Conference and has headed to the Writers Meet”, Henry informed.“The Writers’ Meet? How did he know Sarah is there? And are you sure Robert is here ?”, Dr Sam was astounded.“Yes. Dad’s assistant just called me. Dad has put a mole in Robert’s office and she informed about Robert’s itinerary. Seems Robert does not know Sarah is there. He felt she’ll be here with us. He has gone to the writer’s conference to check on good writers. Someone called Honey”, Henry informed as the duo headed out hurriedly.“Honey? She’s top tier. Fat chance that she’ll write for a scumbag like Robert !”, Dr Sam scoffed.“Oh don’t underestimate the man’s charm. Don’t forget he had our Sarah eat

Beep. Beep.The low beeping sounds of the ventilator and the tubes attached to various parts of Sarah’s body as she lay in coma in the hospital bed, were punctuated by whimpering sounds from Amelia sitting close by.She and the many doctors attending Sarah had forced Henry and Dr Sam to go for a shower after two whole days of non-stop watching over her. Dr Sam had got down to assisting the hospital’s doctors and had personally monitored Sarah’s CT Scan, MRI and a host of other tests, after which they had decided to move her from the ICU to a VIP room where one of the three could stay until Sarah was stable enough to be flown back to the States.They had kept the accident secret from the Hill family for now as they did not want father Theodore Hill to hit the panic button.“I couldn’t protect you even though I knew Robert is a scoundrel with criminal bent of mind”, Amelia whimpered, massaging Sarah’s limp hands and feet.“I couldn’t protect the little precious soul inside you”, Amelia
