Chap 22

Theo

(When Theo left Sarah alone to receive the call from tom)

'Where the hell are you Theo? There is a meeting in a few minutes' Tom barked

Theo pinches his nose as he completely forgets about the meeting 'Fuck... I forget..look, Tom, you can attend that on my behalf too. I don't think I can come in this short notice'

Tom replied 'OK! But still where are you?'

Theo sarcastically replied 'Following your stupid plan ..(Theo sighs) I'm with Sarah...I brought her for shopping'

There was silence from the Tom side then he said 'Oh ....so nothing works'

Tom gets angry 'yeah like shit work... I told you I can't act like this with her...and I was right it's useless...she won't even reply me properly all she does yes, no and nothing that's her response...I'm telling you I can't act like this. I want you to contact that Evan guy and found out more truth about that 12 Dec night...and I need this time a bigger and clear proof not like before where police didn't believe us as they can't even fucking see their faces...i need something new tom' Theo barked

Tom tries to relax 'Theo bro just chill ok...why you think she will open her mouth just like that, you have scared her to death....do you think all of a sudden she will trust you and tell all her dirty secrets?..and as per Evan I contacted him to check on Perry guy..he told me it's true that Perry left the night before that bastard Simon and Tina...and I also told him about drugging Tina thing ..Evan assure me he comes with something.....(Tom sighs loudly) now tell me what you ask and how Sarah respond'

Theo picks out his cigarette pack and put one in his mouth ...he was craving this thing... 'I was fucking thinking I'm bringing her to shopping, buying clothes, taking her to expensive restaurants..even trying to involve her in a bullshit chat..that's what chicks want...so I did that...and then I ask her about Perry guy...and Tom, believe me, I saw from my own eyes she become so tense and she made a face like she remember something when I asked her what is it she told me just big NOTHING ...and I get a little angry but I control it on time...then you called me and I'm here in this fucking smoking area'

Tom was clearly irritated by this news too 'Damn it she will not tell us like this...fuck...so she knew something but Theo you did the right thing that you try to control your anger..maybe not now but sometimes she may open her mouth. And forget sake Theo stop smoking so much ...it like poison to you, it makes you lose your mind more '

Theo sarcastically said 'Are you my fucking doctor..it's my coping mechanism...it not to lose my mind...just focus on that Evan guy and keep the tab on Perry guy.' with that Theo drop his phone.

When Theo go to his table...it was empty...where this Sarah go...then he was stun when he saw with whom she was standing...fuck....Sarah, you are really gone if you, open your mouth Theo told himself...he wish he is too not late...when he approached them he saw how both the siblings become so tense...and he saw Sarah who was smiling and talking with her brother become a cold still body to him...Theo tries to keep the conversation short and civil and decide to go but when Mark gives his card to Sarah.

His blood starts to boil...how fucking dare you Sarah...something is cooking between them.

They both were sitting in the car and Theo wants the driver to drive fast so that he can ask his wife what the fuck she did now....if Mark has given his card to her which means Sarah might have told him something.....but he was controlling his anger ...he saw Sarah said to him something but his anger and glare told her to shut the fuck up..and he told her to give the card when she hesitates he asked her in

his deadly and cold tone which makes her tremble...he tears the card and throw in the car dustbin...and waited for the moment when they will be alone

When the reached home ...he told the butler to put the shopping bags in another room...when Sarah looks at him with fear he just grab her hand roughly and drag her to the room...when the enter the they saw Messy was rocking a sleepy Ava who was looking so innocent and carefree from this cruel world she lives in...Sarah wanted to go and hold her daughter and smell her baby hair and kissed her...she was becoming a weakness and a strength for Sarah.Sarah mother instinct went high and she walks towards her daughter but Theo pushed her once more towards him and said 'Don't you dare to move'

He said to Messy 'Take her out and stay with her till I'm gone from this room'

Messy girl who was already so scared and intimated by Theo personality just give a meek node and pity looked at Sarah...

Theo closed the door and told Sarah to stand in the middle of the carpet ...for Sarah don't know why this vision came but it was exactly the vision she saw when it was their wedding night and theo exactly told her to stand in the middle...she was having another panic attack but she control it by deep breaths...no, she has to be strong..she made that promise to Ava...she will explain him properly he will get it...she knows he is trying to move forward and trusting her so he needs to asked questions of her like what she talk, whom she met.

She calm her down internally but Theo took out his cigarette n lighten it up 'What did we discuss just before about my trust on you n all that other stuff related to public appearance or did you forget?' Theo looked at her dangerously.

Sarah was shaking but her words were composed 'Sir..i did everything you have told me...believe me I didn't say anything'

Theo lost it and slap her cheek with such a force that Sarah whole body pushes backward with the force and she grabs the bed.

Sarah looked at him with shocked and tears in his eyes...this is almost after a year, he hit her like that...and it doesn't feel good to him but very wrong...he was more stun by his anger...he didn't plan to hit her...he wants to show Sarah her place and importance of the word trust and appearance but not like this.

But when she spoke the lies from her mouth he lost her...He watched Sarah get up and stand rigidly like she is waiting he will hit her again. He can see a bruise forming that will be darker in few hour...and it makes him feel like shit...what the hell is happening to him..but he didn't show this to her ..he said in harsh voice 'LIKE I said before it's up to you how you're going to maintain the trust and because of that I will trust you...but you decided to do something stupid..after I did everything in my power to give you good day let you enjoy the shopping, the good food in a top-notch restaurant and a trip to Miami even I miss an important meeting for you...but looks like you were ready to betray me...ok then there is a punishment for this...for one you don't get any of the privileges of going to Miami and forget about those fancy clothes or even this day' Theo looked at her with evil eyes

Sarah tears didn't stop but she replied clearly 'Sir i know you have made up your mind and I cannot do anything for this...I will bear it if you want but plz if you give me a chance to explain then I will tell you from top to bottom'

Theo was amazed of her strength even knowing he can do the worse on her for replying him back but he was stun that how she softly but composedly talk to him 'Ok...although my mind won't change I'm giving you a chance to speak..You have two minutes to explain' Theo put the almost finished cigarette on ashtray and narrow his eyes on her

Sarah took a deep breath and said 'I...I don't know what happens but when you were gone to attend the phone I felt a slight headache so close my eyes but then I heard a voice...a very familiar voice .. I

turned back who it was ... it shocked the hell out of me when I saw it was my brother Mark...(Sarah snips) After more than 2 years I was looking at him so closely..he was so changed.. look so taller than before(Sarah wipe the tears was coming nonstop) I ..I get emotional and I can't stop my self to look him more closely ..to only say his name and confirm it that it was my youngest brother...When we both realized it was indeed us...I hugged him and get emotional...he asked lots of question why I didn't contact him ..he told me mother told him I don't want to do anything with him...which hurt me and I said I didn't say that (Theo gives a dark and furious glare) plz let me explain I told him I didn't say that as mom is angry from me for other reason which Marks knows ...i just blame it on my sickness and pregnancy and how i was in coma. To make his mind distract...I told him about Ava and then you came...believe me, if i wanted to say something to him i might have said 5 minutes ago before you came..and if Marks and I plan something he would never give me his contact number in front of you ... Sir believe me I swear on my little daughter I didn't say anything to break your trust '

Sarah speech make Theo confused and speechless for a moment...is she telling the truth? she swears on Ava..and he knows Ava means to world to her...he put his hand on his forehead..what it's a misunderstanding?.

But if he apologized he will look small and guilty which he doesn't want to look even if he is feeling like that...but the way Sarah spoke and control her emotions was remarkable.

Theo darkly spoke 'Very well you used your 2 minutes wisely and now it's upon me to believe this speech of yours or not...and I think you still need punishment'

Sarah eyes closed and she looks down and looks helpless 'Whatever you decide sir...i can't say anything to you after this'

Theo nodes but he was feeling bad very bad but his ego was telling him to say 'since I'm trying to cool down I'm giving you two options to choose your to own punishment one is complete isolation from the

inner and outer world...which includes your daughter...you will have no contact with her till the time I want...it will be a complete lockdown not like previous basement room lockdown it will be less intense ...'

Theo saw how Sarah lost all the color and was shocked 'No sir...i choose the second option then... I can't live without my daughter...she needs me she ...she is so small 'Sarah was sobbing

Theo felt pain in his heart the way she cries for his daughter...he wants to end this but the silence grew. He wanted to tell her he was sorry, he overreacted he wanted to wipe her tears. What The Fuck ...doesn't think like that? He looked away and said 'Then takes off your clothes and lie face down on the bed'

Sarah didn't say anything she just closed her eyes and unbutton her buttons one by one.

Theo was getting turn on but at the same time, he doesn't want her like that he realized ...He walks closer towards her and hold her hand and shakes his head 'Damn it...Sarah leave it' he said in a broken voice

Sarah looked uncertain about what happens now but Theo looked at her deep golden eyes and said 'I believe what I see and sometimes I make wrong decisions ...fuck! I don't know what happens when I saw you with Mark...the first thought came to my mind you told him everything...but your words the way you told me was very brave...I believe you...(Theo start buttoning her shirt) and we both try to forget this bad memory of a good day' Sarah was stun that Theo not only believe her but also appraise her

Theo and Sarah know they can't forget this day...especially Sarah can't but he saw Sarah nodes but then they heard a faint sound like 'thud' and then they heard a loud crying sound.

They both looked at each other and realized it was Ava sound ...Sarah gasp and run for her daughter...Theo also doesn't stop and run at a speed...when they saw it was what...Sarah

Screamed her daughter name.
