CHAPTER 31
SARAHBefore the priest, I stood. Before the priest, he stood. Before the priest we both stood, facing each other as we listened to him. No friends, and no one to cheer us on.It wasn't the type of wedding I always dreamed about, but it was better than marrying Anthonio, and I was going to be with the man that I loved."Do you, Sarah, take this man, Leo, to be your lawful, wedded husband, to live together in the holy state of matrimony?." The priest asked, his eyes glued to the note in his hands. "Do you promise to love, honor, and cherish him, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for better or for worse, until death do you part?" I took a deep breath and nodded."Yes, I do."The priest turned to Leo and spoke in a solemn voice, "And do you, Juan, take this woman, Sarah, to be your lawful, wedded wife, to live together in the holy state of matrimony? Do you promise to love, honor, and cherish her, in sickness and in health, for richer or fo

LEO"Isabelle?" '`Who is Isabelle?", Sarah asked, fixing her gaze at the policeman. I could see the tears stacked up in her eyes."We haven't known her full identity, and we can't say for now. But I can assure you, Ma'am, we'll make sure to get her.' The policeman replied.Sarah slumped backward on the chair, and the tears which she had been holding all the while came down freely on their own. "Please, do keep in touch with us. We'll be expecting to hear from you." I said to the officer and we shook hands.Sarah had just resumed work for the first time after some months off from work, and just at the same time, she had to face another heartbreaking news.I escorted her to her office and her eyes got stuck to Clara's picture displaying on her phone. She stared at it for a while and burst into another round of weeping."Raya was all I had. She was the only sister that I never had." She tried to speak up but her cries were unending. I held her from behind, an

SARAH"Isabelle?" "Did you say, Isabelle?" Lilian thought for a moment, probably trying to figure out something."The police are on the case, and hopefully, very soon, they'll find her.On my bed was a bundle of clothes and shoes Lilian got for me. If anyone saw them, they'd think I was going to open a boutique. "This dress is a little…." Before I could complete my statement, Lilian hushed me, crossing her index finger over her mouth."Can you hear that.?" She asked, looking at the door. I could hear nothing but she was sure she heard something. She rushed out and I followed behind. She stopped at the end of the stairs and looked in the kitchen's direction. I took a few steps down, slowly so as not to make a noise, and halted too."Raya told me everything. It was all my fault for not being there when Sarah needed me the most. But now I am back, and I want my woman back too"I heard Julian say.How could he know about it and keep it away from me? And Raya, she

CHAPTER 34
SARAHThe meeting room was sleek and modern, filled with an air of anticipation. The Investors for the highly regarded "World Changers' project were seated around a polished oak table. Their restlessness was palpable, evident from the tapping of fingers and occasional signs of impatience.Leo sat nervously on his chair, fidgeting with the corner of his notebook. He glanced at his watch, then at the empty seat beside him. I sat beside him, trying to hide my own growing anxiety.A middle-aged man with a strict demeanor, Mr. Pete, who was one of the investors for the project, leaned forward and glared at his watch."Where is Clara? This meeting was supposed to start twenty minutes ago." He spoke under his breath. Leo made uncomfortable shifts as the tension in the room increased. He cleared his throat, attempting to break the silence."Mr. Pete," his voice trembled slightly, "I apologize for the delay. Clara will be here any moment, I promise. Can we please give

SARAH"Come on, Sarah!"Emma swiftly plopped herself down on the couch, shaking her legs like a child fueled with an incredulous secret waiting to be shared. She beamed at me, unable to contain her excitement for a moment longer."You won't believe it! Mom said I could come visit you for the whole weekend! Just me, without anybody else!" Emma's words bounced around the room.Emma looked around the house, admiring and touching everything that her hands could lay on. She touched a flower vase by the side, and there it went, crashing on the floor."Oops!" Emma gasped, her eyes wide with surprise, as she stared at the shattered pieces of the flower vase lying on the floor."Why would my mother say that? I'm a married woman, for goodness sake!!" I yelled.Emma's eyes widened, and she staggered slightly, the words crashing into her like a tidal wave."M-married?" Emma stammered, a mix of surprise and confusion etching across her face. "Wow, Sarah, congratulations! I

CHAPTER 36
SARAHI busily bustled around the kitchen, trying to balance multiple tasks—cooking and washing the dishes. The delicious aroma of a home-cooked meal filled the air, and my passion for cooking was evident in the way I was bent on finishing the cooking, even though I was tired. As the clinking and clanking of utensils and dishes echoed through the kitchen, my mind was focused solely on preparing the perfect dinner for my new-found crazy family.After what felt like hours of cooking, I finally managed to complete one of my signature dishes: a creamy pasta with succulent pieces of grilled chicken. I made my way towards the dining area, holding a tray full of steaming plates of food.As I entered the dining room, my eyes widened in surprise. There was my cousin Emma, sitting at the far end of the dining table, with Clara's adorable baby boy cradled in her arms. The two of them were gleefully engaged in a playful game of peek-a-boo, and my heart skipped a beat."Emm

CHAPTER 37
LEOI stood in front of the imposing police station building, my heart pounding with anticipation. The last few months have been a whirlwind of emotions for my wife, ever since the tragic death of her friend, Raya.Taking a deep breath, I hesitantly approached the officer stationed at the front desk. The officer, a burly man with a stern expression, looked up from his paperwork as I tentatively spoke up."Excuse me, officer," I said, my voice quivering slightly. "I was wondering if I could speak to Officer Nathan. Is he available?"The officer's gaze shifted to me, his eyes narrowing for a moment as he sized up the young me standing before him."Officer Nathan, huh?" He grumbled, clearly unimpressed. "Yeah, he's in his office. Take a left here and go straight down the hallway. It's the last door on the right."I nodded gratefully, my anxiety ebbing slightly at the officer's response. I followed the directions, making my way through the buzzing station. The

CHAPTER 38
SARAH"What is this?" Leo asked, flinging the test results on Clara's face.Clara stood before Leo, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she tried to gather her thoughts. The weight of the situation bore heavily on her, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. Leo's eyes bore into Clara's, waiting for her to speak, but she went instantly dumb. Finally, Clara took a deep breath and attempted to speak, but she found herself stammering. "Leo, I... I don't know how it happened. The test results... they... they came back like that. But I...I swear, It has nothing to do with me. Something must have gone wrong in the lab... or maybe it was a mistake. I just don't know.""And you want me to believe that?" Clara just shook her head, her eyes were filled with tears as she held her mouth tightly with her hands, to prevent herself from screaming."How then do you explain these results, stating clearly that Jake is O-Negative?""It's possible Leo, it can

CHAPTER 39
LEO."Another crazy woman?" Lilian's eyes were fixed on Emma, and her irritation could not be hidden."Why do you always have crazy women around you? Who's she anyway?""She's…." I tried to speak, but Emma's thunderous voice almost threw me off."Do I look like I'm crazy? How dare you?" Emma charged towards Lilian, but Sarah seemed strong enough to hold her back."Emma, please stop. That's my sister-in-law!" Sarah yelled, dragging Emma to the end of the living room.Ignoring all that just surfaced, Lilian grabbed my hand and drew me to the other end."You told me something about Raya's case, but I didn't grab anything from what you said.""We got the wrong girl," I told her."The main culprit is still out there.""How did it happen? I still don't get it." She asked, still confused about my explanation."Both of them are twins, and so the police arrested the wrong 'Isabelle'. I requested her release already."Lilian took a deep breath and looked around the hous

CHAPTER 40
SARAHI stood anxiously by the corridor of the hospital. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I had been pacing back and forth for what felt like hours, and my mind was consumed with worry for Lilian. Lilian had been rushed to the hospital earlier that day, and the uncertainty of her condition was torturing me.Walking restlessly back and forth, my eyes darted towards the entrance anxiously, praying for any news about Lilian. The corridor was bustling with activity; doctors and nurses were hurriedly going about their duties, but I felt completely helpless.Suddenly, as if being pulled back to reality, I felt a strong hand grab my own. Startled, I turned to see a woman standing beside me. Without a word, the woman shook my hand firmly; her grip was tight."I need you to understand something, young lady," she said, her voice strained. "If anything happens to my daughter, I won't take it lightly.I was surprised at the woman's words. Like, who the hell was s
