Sarah

(After 1 month)

Sarah walks slowly to Mr. Grey wing. What did he want to say to her...is he angry that because of her

his wife is the mental ward and imprisonment of 10 years....if she got better than? She still shivers with

the thought that it was almost one month when Roma attacked her and Ava....she clear her head.

She has to face MR grey one day and now it's the day after Roma was in prison, Sarah felt uncertain

how to face Mr grey, although Theo confide her that Mr. grey is not angry with her at all just sad and

depressed on his wife action...still she was so scared

She softly knocks the door and enters the room...she saw Mr grey was sitting in the wheelchair and

was looking at the window ...he looks like he was in deep thoughts

Sarah coughs to get his attention. Mr grey looked her and smiled 'oh Sarah....come I was waiting for

you...join me for a tea' his speech was really improved and so was his health...

But he looks so old and fragile..she wished he get better soon and start walking again

Sarah smiled too and sits down 'how are you dad'

Mr grey close his eyes and look contented 'when you say me, dad, I feel so much happy that at least

you don't hate me'

Sarah make a face' and why would I hate you...you should know that i love you...you are my

father..how can I'

Mr grey looks down in shame 'because of my family...how they treated you...how you faced so many

miserable situations alone because of them and now Roma (his voice broke) what she did with you and

Ava totally kill me inside. I'm so numb, I don't even know how to react when I was told my wife is in

mental hospital ' he looks so sad that made Sarah emotional to..She hold his hand

'dad...plz don't say that. I love you because you were the only one who treated me as a human who

supported me even every person in the city pointed out I killed Tina. Then how can I hate you, you

loved my child when her own father neglected her...plz forget about it and we should try to move on'

Mr grey sighs and do not speak for a minute 'I will never forget Theo what he did to you...even I know

he is guilty and trying to do everything in his power to make you and Ava happy but still I can't forgive

him ....but sometime Sarah, I get angry at myself ...when I see him like that...he look so sad but when

he see Ava and loves her made me proud too that this is my son...i always though after you were gone

who will take care of Ava because I was not well but then I saw Theo changed behavior how he loved

Ava how protective he was it made me relax that she is in save hand...but it makes me so guilty that

how can I feel that for theo...he was the one to almost kill you in Miami. I saw him' Mr grey tears were

falling

Sarah can understand what he is going through. She go through this dilemma daily....she get confused

when she saw the good image of theo now but then that image of theo came of the past that she try to

always forget but unfortunately bad theo always win in her mind that over power every good deed that

theo did now

Sarah nodes 'but you should not hate him..he is your son too and i know its difficult for me to forgive

and forget but please never doubt his love for Ava....cause i saw this so personally that it scare me a lot

too and made me realized he is a perfect father for her. So don't feel guilty because i don't feel that

too...(Sarah took a deep breath) she change the topic and focus on what ok just forget it now tell me

why did you call me is there something important' Mr grey wanted to say

Mr Grey said the words very carefully 'i wanted to know...and its totally depend upon you...what you

think about to join our business'

Sarah was stun what he was saying 'business ? me? I don't get it'

Mr. Grey sighs 'Sarah listens to me... what you will decide it will be very important ...but I just want to

know your interest in the business... I know you are very intelligent and I may not be working but being

an experienced businessman I know who is capable for my business or not. So do you wanna work?'

Sarah gives a confused look. She doesn't even have any experience 'Dad... I don't know.I just have the

bookish knowledge, not any practical one...if have any then few internships in my father company

before marriage that's all I can count and secondly I don't know if Theo will approve that or not" she

hesitantly spoke

Mr grey looks angry 'hell with theo...he don't have any say on this....its still my company...its purely your

decision and I really think it will be best for you ..you will get out of this house more you will see how

outer world interact and deal..it will be good for you so how you feel like'

Sarah was still uncertain but she like the idea of going out...she wanted to do something productive but

never got the confidence to do that ...she always like creative work...what if she start working...start

getting her own identity instead of living here in past memories 'Dad I like the idea to be honest but

Mr grey hold Sarah's hands ', no but just yes...so tell me what you are good at'

Sarah shy and said 'are you taking my interview'

Mr. Grey smile 'something like that"

Sarah sighs 'I think I'm good at creative work... I always like marketing concept but since I have no

experience I have no idea how I will do it?'

Mr grey raised his hand 'no more doubts.You are going to the office tomorrow'

Sarah was about to argue but there was knock in the door ...it was butler 'sir your lawyer Mr. Hanks is

here'

Mr grey nodes 'Ok call him in'

Sarah stand 'I think I should go but dad let me think on this'

Mr Grey replied 'if you wanted to do something just do it don't waste more time on thinking... I know you

want to do this, it's in you'

Sarah was touched by this and kissed Mr grey forehead and walk to her wing.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sarah was busy in her thoughts that she heard a someone enter; it was Theo holding a bunch of bags.

After the kiss encounter, she was little nervous around him although Theo act normal with her like its

fine they kiss... she was not....she was more shocked the way she reacted to kiss...how much she

enjoys it....she shakes her head

Theo smiled 'Hi Sarah..how are you.... I got some of your stuff and some new dresses too'

Sarah raised an eyebrow in confusion....'you didn't go to the office?'

Theo looks her 'I told you Ava wants some dollhouse that she saw on the internet so I went with her in

the morning and got that too pink color doll house' he laughed

Sarah shook her head and Theo saw that 'what...why you made that face' theo asked in interest

Sarah put her book down and said 'nothing...its ... I think giving what she asked immediately will spoil

her' she softly made her point

Theo nodes and smile big 'but she was asking me for weeks...so technically it was not immediate and I

did nothing for her when I should have so this is nothing' Theo give her a sad smile

Theo shrugs 'ok now...let see the things I got for you ... I hope you like it?' he looked little uncertain

Sarah feels awkward ...Theo did shopping for her....it shocked her....she recall that first shopping

experience....she closes her eyes...how she met Mark for the first time how Theo slapped her how Ava

was kicked by Roma. She opened her eyes and saw theo concern expression ....he picked her face 'hi

whats wrong...you were so pale and tense all of a sudden'

Sarah removes his hand from her face and took a step back 'nothing...I'm fine and you don't have to

get something for me. I'm really ok with my clothes'

Theo looked at her in worry but nodes 'I got that for you because I want too and I will get other things

for you too if I liked it' he said as a matter of fact

After looking at expensive clothes, handbags and perfume. Sarah was overwhelmed by all these stuff.

She was so confused what to say so she just said 'thank you'

Theo smiled and held her hands 'no problem baby... I will buy the world if you say to me' he kissed her

hand that made Sarah jerk her hand and replied 'why you keep on touching me... I told you before don't

do that'

Theo stands and sighs 'im sorry if you don't like it.... but I love you, Sarah,....so much...and I know even

you are my wife I still don't have any right on you...and it's my own fault but I thought we can at least

try.. I know you liked when I kissed you

Sarah was embarrassed and angry 'how you know what I like? do you ever try to know me first

no...always in your mind was how to hurt me how to isolate me how to make fun of you...so how would

you know now what I like... and that night was a mistaken kiss nothing much...you attack me with your

mouth...so what can I do at that moment' she huff in irritation

Theo also looked super annoyed and little angry too 'I accept what you said and I'm guilty of your

pain.But don't call the night a mistake because I sure as hell I know that kiss was passionate and

reciprocated... I don't attack you and you also know that (Sarah looks down) I must have initiated the

kiss but you also responded me back... I can feel that and you also ' Theo also huff

Sarah's mouth was open in shocked ...oh god she did enjoy it and he has also felt that ... it's so

embarrassing ..he must think what a slut she is..she can feel the tears in her eyes.

Theo walks towards her and wiped her tears 'hey I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that..I'm so sorry

....please don't cry

Sarah weakly replied 'you must be thinking what a slut I am ... what you used to say an ugly slut?'

Theo flinched...he knows why Sarah said that.....he used to call her that name.Especially on intimate

moments.

He shakes his head 'no baby you are not ...you are so pure..So beautiful.like it hurt me ....I'm sorry to

call you those names....and you know what I even know at those time that you are not but I still said it

just to hurt you... I was always attracted to you Sarah always and that made me more angry at myself

but now I feel proud to have a wife like you....I'm sorry to make you feel like that...you are perfect' he

kissed her forehead

Sarah sit down and look aimlessly at walls...she still can't believe what Theo had told her....he can't be

saying true

Theo sighs 'I wanted to talk something else too and now I upset you...when I will stop doing that' he

holds his head in frustration.

Sarah looks at him and replied in curiosity 'whats that'

Theo opened his mouth then close it...he looks away ..'ok I don't know how you will react what it's

important...like very important... I have arranged an appointment with the grief and marriage

psychologist'

Sarah's eyes were bulging out 'i told you I won't go'

Theo stands 'please Sarah please I'm begging you... I know it's not easy for you to believe me it's also

not easy for me... I feel like shit to do this but you need to talk....and this thing will help us .help

you...please do it for Ava sake.'

Sarah looks away and knows he was right...so right... but she cants go back to the past.

Sarah stubbornly said 'i will think about it ...but I'm not sure I can'

Theo sighs 'ok just think ... I will give you time'

There was knock on the door. It was Tom ....he came while holding his daughter 'hi ...how are you,

Sarah'

Sarah nodes and sit down...Theo asked 'whats wrong'

Tom replied 'dads calling us apparently he needs to talk about some stuff'

Sarah saw how Theo look nervous 'he call me too?'

Tom nodes and Theo looked at Sarah 'i will come back and talk to you'

Sarah also stands 'im going to Ava room..'

Tom stops her and nervously said 'ah Sarah...if you don't mind can you take Olivia too ...she was

missing Ava too'

Sarah looked at the cute little bundle. She is so beautiful and looks like her small Ava, she graces her

head and smiles to her then she stops 'do you want me to hold her?' as she recalls that day when tom

told her to stay away from his daughter

Tom looks shameful and replied 'i know what you are thinking Sarah ..and I'm so sorry to say that but I

will be honored and feel less guilty if you hold my daughter'

Sarah eyes beamed with tears and she saw Theo who also look regretful....without saying anything she

picks Olivia and walked away.

....................................................

It most almost more than an hour and Sarah was enjoying the bantering of both Olivia and Ava. Sarah

took the sip of her coffee and look at the watch ...where is everyone? What Mr. Grey really wanted to

talk to them.

Sarah then felt a tug in her leg and she looked down and it was Olivia 'ma haar' she picked her hair and

pointed at Ava's hair

Sarah smiled and kissed Olivia hair 'you want your hair just like Ava?'

Olivia nodes ...Ava sit on Sarah lab 'mama make mine too'

Sarah laughed 'but yours are already made....but you can help me in making Olivia hair'

Ava's eyes got excited.She runs and got some pins and brush

When Sarah made Olivia hair at that moment Lisa came ...who looked little annoyed and angry too

Sarah put down Olivia and said 'Lisa...how are you'

Lisa hold her 7 -month pregnant stomach and said in tight voice 'fine and what my daughter is doing

her .. I was looking for her all in my wing...you do know I'm pregnant and it's not good for my health to

be worried around which I am right now' Lisa glared at Sarah

Sarah also frowned ...why Lisa all of a sudden so angry 'I didn't bring her here, your husband left her in

my care. Dad had called both tom and theo in his room' Sarah said in a composed voice...she doesn't

know what Lisa really problem is

Lisa got angry on that and yelled at Olivia to come with her 'you sure as hell know why dad called

them....so don't act and next time just stay away from my daughter'

Sarah was shocked what she had heard ....she felt those stupid tears.....she has been treated like this

again....after all the misery and torture this family will always treat her like shit.

Then she heard Theo voice 'Lisa...how dare...she is my wife....and I don't give anyone permission to

talk to Sarah like that...' theo said in an intimidation voice

Even tom looked ashamed 'yes Lisa please don't bring Sarah into this ... it's not her fault'

Lisa reply in anger 'hahahaha not her fault? yeah right' she just walked away, tom also run to her

Sarah looked at Theo 'what i did now?'

Theo sighs and shakes his head 'nothing....like tom said she was wrong to bring you in this..'

Sarah raised her eyebrow 'theo I still don't understand.'

Theo walks towards her 'im sorry that Lisa said that to you but she heard dad conversation with us...so

she overreacted'

Sarah looked confused then theo talk again 'dad lawyers was here.....dad made some changes in his

will...according to the will all of the dad assets in which 50% belong to Ava, Olivia and any other kid that

tom and we (he hesitate) we might have...and other 50% will be in your name including company'

Sarah took a step back in shocked, she put her hand on her mouth ...that's why 'oh god ...why dad did

that...you should now that I have nothing to do with this...theo believe me. I can be anything but greedy

...oh god that's why Lisa look me like that' Sarah was so shocked what has happened now

Theo grabs Sarah hands 'hey hey... I know you don't have any bad or evil spirit...Lisa doesn't know the

whole story she was eavesdropping'

Sarah wiped her tears 'she might be thinking that I took her children inheritance right'

Theo shook his head 'no baby...you didn't it was purely dad decision and honestly speaking tom and I

don't have any problem with this....and Sarah you deserve this and much more ...'

Sarah yelled 'but I don't need the money... I never need money all I need was love and respect'

Theo winced and then Ava scared voice lets both of them realized that Ava heard it all.

Ava run to Theo and hold his leg 'daddy why mama is sad?'

Theo picked Ava and kissed her head 'nothing baby daddy and mama are just talking..'

Sarah also grace Ava head 'im sorry Ava .. I shouldn't yell but daddy is right we are just talking'

Ava put her head in theo shoulder and nodes but she still looked little disturb...Theo tell Sarah 'why

don't you go to our room and Ava will go and meet his dadda...dont you Ava'

Ava smiled 'dadda.....me go to dadda'

Theo

After coming back to his room. Sarah was in the balcony and was looking lost.

Theo remove his tie and called her 'Sarah what you doing outside its cold...come in '

Sarah winced and turns around....she walks inside 'i wanna talk to dad...there has to be some way out

... I can't live like this... I can't take someone right...hell I don't even know about the company so how I

can be the owner of it'

Theo sits down in bed and looked her intensely 'you will soon about the company...as you will be

working there soon ...oh I mean tomorrow'

Sarah looks away 'so you know'

Theo cracks a smile 'why? Were you hiding that from me?' he teased her

Sarah get in her defending mode 'no..i mean I was waiting for dad to tell you or I would have told you

and you should have no it was not my idea...he told me this today'

Theo took her hand and make her sit down 'looks like dad is giving us a lot of surprises but I'm really

happy ....if you want to join business it will be a good for us..especially for me as I will see you daily ' he

smirked

Sarah push his hand and glare 'im going on dad request and I will be working not spending time with

you '

Theo raised his hand 'im just joking ok ! no hard feeling so instead of thinking of other stuff try to focus

on the exciting day ahead you will have and now I have to change some going 'he kissed his confused

wife cheek that made Sarah took a step back in surprise

Theo was also stunned by her reaction although he was sort of expecting that 'Sarah it was just an

innocent kiss on the cheek' he was a little annoyed too after being so supportive to her.

Sarah glared at him 'i don't wanna argue on this as we already did a lot and nothing you do is innocent

theo' she whispers

Theo suddenly realized his mistake and become guilty again.
