SARAH'S POV

 

I could hear the giggles but my feet halted hearing the next sound.

 

“I have never thought it would be that easy with Sarah. She is an easy catch. Anyone could make her fool. She is too emotional for her own good and poor things.” It was Sean's voice

 

‘What is he talking about?’ I thought about scrunching my eyes looking at Nathan but I stayed rooted somehow.

 

“I agree boss, Vhow hard nut she looks from outside but she is a big emotional fool.” This voice belongs to Sam.

 

‘I don’t mind being emotional but why is she calling me an emotional fool?’ My mind says. 'Going on here?’ I thought

 

“I know but don’t underestimate her. She is smart enough to sniff our doings and once she has the idea what we are doing she will go crazy.” Sean's distant voice.

 

‘Doings? What are they planning? And what are they hiding?’ I thought about scrunching my eyebrows. But my heartbeat has started running fast as if something bad is going to happen.

 

“Dude we already have so much on our plate and we won’t be able to place more dishes on the plate so batter keeps her away as much as possible.” Now this voice belongs to Eric. I can visualize how he must be rolling his eyes while saying this. 

“I know the man I know. And trust me I am not leaving any chance to keep her away from everything.” Sean huff in frustration.

 

'Is he keeping me away from problems? ' My heart signaled me. And I smile

 

But I froze hearing their next word

 

“You just considerate of your production. We need an heir as soon as possible. Let's not forget the fact. All the hard work should not go in vain because of any stupidity by us or anyone.” Again Eric spoke.

 

‘Heir? They need an heir from me?’ I thought about looking at the floor.
My mind has suddenly stopped hearing this.

 

“I believe my seed must have started to make the bun in her womb.” And all of them started laughing.

 

I touched my stomach. And that reminds me, we have never used any protection while having sex. So that means he did it all intentionally? I have never thought I might be bringing my child into this mess while doing this sadly. Tears blurred my vision.

 

My heart clinched thinking about my unborn. 

 

This time they have crossed all the boundaries of being selfish. Till now they were playing with me and now they want my baby two.

 

Sweats started forming in my body and my legs are giving up and denying taking my weight on them. My throat clenched felt dry. 

 

Tears stream down to my cheeks and I look at Nathan with my teary eyes.

 

His face was stoic and his jaw was clenched. I stumbled when my legs completely gave up but Nathan was quick to hold me before I fell.

 

“Let’s go” He turned me around while holding me in his arms and I was completely in my daze thinking about the people I love.

 

So not only Sean but Sam also stabbed me.

 

Sean told me he knew where about it and I guess it's because of Sam. He planted Sam in my life so he can keep his eyes on me all the time.

 

I giggled thinking how they all fooled me and Nathan looked at me with a worried expression on his face while we both were standing and waiting for the lift.

 

Getting down I kept on thinking about eluding me.

 

Nathan started walking out holding my hand when he noticed I am a bit better but I am anything but better.

 

Halting my steps I look down while Nathan looks back at my standing figure.

 

“What happened? Let’s go, we are going to Australia right now.” Nathan said while gritting his teeth.

 

“I need to be alone for some time Nathan.’ I said while still looking at the floor. 

 

I need to be with my inner self.

 

“I will never leave you alone. You get that?” He said while holding my arm angrily.

 

“This is my war and I have to fight alone,” I said sternly.

 

“This is our war and we will fight together.” Holding my elbow he said.

 

'I don't know what I should feel right now. One friend has stabbed me and one is standing with me like a pillar of my life.' Tears of ease pooled in my eyes looking at Nathan's affection. 

 

I know Nathan can be stubborn if he wants but right now I need to be alone and he needs to understand that.

 

I look up and look into his eyes. My teary eyes connected to his angered eyes but it got softened the moment he looked into mine.

 

“Please?” I said in a pleading tone.

 

“OK but promise me you will pick up my phone?” He said while holding both the palms in his.

 

I nodded in agreement and without any word I started walking and I know he is still standing there looking at my discarding figure. 

 

I walked and walked. I don’t know where but I walked. Finally, I stopped and looked around the busy streets of New York. Where few are walking, running to their work and few are clicking pictures with their partner, few are looking like visitors and few are here for shopping. I look around at all the happy and busy faces.

 

And me? Well again I am standing like a stupid thinking world is with me but the reality hit me hard when truth rubbed on my face saying I am still and will be alone.

 

I took two steps back while looking at them all shocked and my breath sucked in my lungs.

 

I held the light pole near to me to support myself from falling and tears streamed down from my eyes and the pain in my heart was not ready to reduce.

 

I again padded toward where my feet took me. My mind has shut so does my heart and body. My blurry vision is not giving me an idea of anything but I guess my heart knows the way.
