Chapter 315 - Sarah's dilemma
"Sarah" Jean called as she saw her pale face and white knuckles. She looked tense….
But Sarah didn't respond nor nod her head, she laid motionless as her eyes bored into the wall across the room.
Jean approached her and gently shook her shoulders. "Hey, what happened. Are you unwell" she asked, worried because she just recuperated from coma.
Sarah froze at Jean's gently touch as all the memories came back rushed in. Their happy time together as roommates, naughty times as best friends and troubles they faces as part time models in school level to earn money for daily needs …everything.
Just how good it use to be then…..she, Jean, Nathan and Raymond. It is best part of her broken life she could never forget.
She couldn't remember how many times they have gone to double dates with Jean and Scott. How they use to enjoy....
Everything has been smooth till her big brother decided to trick Jean and their friends into joining the council. Even then it is blissful but dangerous. She couldn't blame her brother, he is just trying to mold Jean into another Sophia.
"Sarah. Are you fine" Jean asked again. Her brows are creased forming lines on her forehead.
It is when Sarah remembered the harsh reality, all these struggles she faced after getting abducted are not a nightmare but so true as the fact that Nathan doesn't belong to her anymore.
"I am fine. Just got carried away in my thoughts" Sarah gave a small smile and stood up. "I would be back. Need to use bathroom" she excused herself as her tears slowly made its way from her eyes.
She didn't understand why she is crying.....but her heart throbbed with pain and indescrible feelings huddled her thoughts.
"Well guys, go into these rooms. My makeup artists are waiting inside to doll you up as a perfect models. They might ask you to strip but don't worry…they all are girls and straight" Daisy joked and pushed them into separate rooms.
With Ria and Daisy everything went totally fine. But Jean, Seline and Aria have these marks on their neck, shoulders, chest and back that needed a lot of effort to conceal.
Worse case is of Jean that the makeup artist requested another artist to help her with concealing thing. It is the most embarrassing situation to Jean that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself into it.
In Sarah's room…..
As the stylist saw her back she is dumbfounded. There are scars, bruises, scalds and burns on most of her back. At first she didn't notice them because they are already concealed by the lotion which is so rare to find.
When she is about to clean her back with toner Sarah stopped her. But it is too late that she already removed half of the lotion from her back and scars showed up clearly.
"There is lotion in my bag. Please apply it before you start doing makeup." Sarah requested.
"Yes, Madam. But can I ask you how you found this lotion….it is pretty rare" her stylist asked curiously.
Sarah smiled and said "Well, I am using some herbal products so these would vanish and My doctor gave me the lotion."
she lied. She was once the top S rated model and it is not a big deal for her to get access to these things.
Within one month her back would become flawless just like before and she is waiting for that patiently. These wounds were from long back but at that time she didn't have any intentions to heal them. But somehow she wanted it now.
After two hours….
They successfully completed their photo shoot. Amazingly, everyone had talent and this didn't take more effort for which photographers and designers are beyond happy.
When their boss told them about her idea to include her friends they are shocked….how could someone who don't even know how to walk on runway could pose for the cover page of Zenith.
But after seeing their performance they are totally and whole heartedly satisfied. After that they tried their dresses for the weddings and selected few of them. Later they matched them with jewelry, shoes and other accessories.
After feeling content with the arrangement they decided to leave. It is already past eight when Scott, Daniel and Nathan came to pick up their respective partners.
As Daisy, Ria and Seline decided to stay and look into other matters.
Nathan hugged Aria tight and pecked her forehead. "All set, honey" he asked her as she leaned into his embrace and kissed his lips oblivious of the storm brewing in certain person's heart.
His tender eyes, blissful face, sweet words they twisted a knife into Sarah's heart. It is really too painful to watch them like that.
Daniel wrapped a arm around her shoulders instantly as she shuddered. "How could you forget Sarah. Today is your check up and you missed it, Come on, no excuses …I will be coming with you" he gently scolded her.
Sarah smiled and hugged him tightly. "Didn't you have a meeting to attend now. Why are you here?" she couldn't deny that he is a tiny light in her dark life. His care and love for her is like a rope that tugged her life back to sanity….but however it doesn't long last whenever she remembers Nathan and Aria.
"I have. But, first I want to take you to hospital and get you check up. Later I want to take you to dinner. Then I will gladly go back to my meeting" he said lovingly.
As she listened his words, she felt like previous Kiara. Unknown to her she uttered the words "I love you"
Daniel smiled brightly and his eyes twinkled with joy. "You don't know how much I love you Sarah…" he kissed her forehead.
"Whoa! Bro, I don't know you are this cheesy" Nathan joked as Aria giggled.
Soon, Kiara transformed into her usual Sarah and freed herself from his embrace. "Let's go" she tugged his sleeve and sat down in the car.
Only she knew how much she is struggling to keep her previous Kiara in check.
Meanwhile Jean is leaning onto Scott's chest feeling tired. She is in deep thought that she didn't talk much. Feeling her headache creeping back she whispered softly to Scott.
"I am tired Scott. Let's go back" she faintly said.
Meanwhile…
In the shadows of the night…
Enrick's big brother team has witnessed everything. After finding out that Sarah is their young Madam Kiara...they were shocked.
Where is that lively, naughty and troublesome girl they have known….they couldn't believe it that, the woman who use to smile throughout the day has not even smiled genuinely since the time they have been following her.
Besides the team that followed Sarah, Enrick's team is looking intently at Jean's surroundings….trying to detect if any threats were laid for her.
For the first time ever since they started working for their young masters, they hoped for the same thing.
A serum that could erase the persons memories permanently. In that way Kiara would be happy and saved meanwhile Jean will not have any threats from Sarah.
