Lonely Bride

The entire night, we have been searching for you, and that is how we got to know that Sean was the last person you met when I checked the office CCTV.

We even started checking the hospitals, but before we could get to you, I got the call from the hospital saying you are hospitalized, and when I reached here, the doctor told me about your condition and the reason behind it.” Nathan said it in a taunting manner.

I nod, as I do not have anything else to say.

‘How come Sean is here?’ I thought.

“I understand you are both my emergency contact person and the hospital has contacted you, but how come he was here, and can you believe who else was here a few minutes ago?” I asked, raising my eyebrow.

Who?” Sam spoke.

“My dear father,” I smirk.

“What”? They both shout together, and I flinch but nod in agreement.

“I am still wondering how they both appeared after so many years, and that too together.” Nathan spoke, thinking deeply.

“There must be some reason behind Nathan, as I do not believe they both started missing me suddenly after six years, and that too at the same time. Please find out what they want now. I do not want to deal with any drama now. I want to cut all the strings once in for all.” I hate saying this.

“You do not need to worry. I will do what is needed as soon as possible. Right now, you just take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than you right now.” Nathan spoke in an assuring manner.

I am tired. I want to sleep, and I close my eyes.

“Ok, you sleep. We also go home and get fresh; we will come next morning to pick you up. But this conversation is not over. You have a lot to explain,” Nathan said sternly. “I know right now that staying home is the best thing. So, I nod in agreement.”

Our Home!

SARAH’S POVThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

When I woke up, I saw something had changed. I look around, not something. Everything has changed.

Where am I?

I look here and there to get a glimpse of someone. I see I am in a beautiful, enormous room that shows luxury in every inch of the corner.

I am on the king-size bed, which is in the middle of the room, and I could see there are three doors attached, and one of them is a balcony. I could see due to the open curtains. I looked to the other side and saw a clock on the table showing me the time of 10 a. m.

How much have I slept? 15 hours, or maybe 17 hours? This is the longest sleep I have ever taken in my life, I guess.

“Good morning, princess. How are you feeling?” Sean came and kissed my temple.

And I jerked up from his sudden voice while his warm lips touched my skin.

What are all these? Princess kisses? What is this manipulative man planning now?

“Where am I?” I asked, ignoring his question.

“At our home,” he said, speaking as if nothing had happened.

“You mean your house”? Well, dear husband, if you think that your sugar-coated talk can make me forget the past, then sorry to burst out of your bubble. I thought.

“No, our house. And you did not answer my previous question about how you are feeling?” He said it with a charming smile.

‘Well, I cannot lie. He has charm.’ I thought.

“It should not concern you how I am feeling. By the way, why am I here?” I spoke with no emotional face.

“So, where should you be if not here?” He asked me a counter-question.

Really, dear husband?’ I thought, raising my eyebrow.

“My house, where else”? I stated it as a matter of fact.

“Correct. You are at your house. Now I have an important meeting that I cannot avoid, so I will be in my study for some time. Let me know if you need anything. I have saved my phone number on your phone, and I will be back soon.” Ignoring what I said, he pointed my phone at the side table.

Like really?

But how did he save his number on my phone?

Oh, did he know my password? But how?

“By then, a nurse will help you with your breakfast. He looks towards Nora and a doctor, whom I just noticed standing behind him.

And again, I spoke, looking at them. “Make sure she finishes her breakfast, gives her medicine on time, and updates me about her recovery. A single mistake will make you cry your whole life. Understand?” He ordered them arrogantly.

They both visibly shiver and bow to him, like he is some kind of king somewhere. Poor people.

‘Jerk’ I thought

He again looked back at me, and before I could object or say anything, he kissed me on the cheek and left.

‘God, this man, first forehead and now cheek, what will be next?

Lips?

Look at the audacity of this man. Let him come back then. I will show him the real me.’ I thought, gritting my teeth.
