Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 54
MELANIE.I'd been dodging Leo and Sarah like a ninja ever since the kidnapping fiasco because the guilt was eating me alive.But damn, my twin sister, Isabelle, was acting like Emma's little puppet, and was driving me insane. Why the hell would she hang around someone like Emma? I tried calling Isabelle, but she blocked my calls like I was some telemarketer.On a lazy Saturday morning, my phone buzzed with Sarah's name flashing on the screen. Panic raced through my veins, leaving me frozen. She called again... and again... and again. I finally caved and answered."Hey, it's Sarah," she said."I'd like you to drop by my house today. I'd like us to talk. "Now, I didn't want to see Sarah's face or step foot in her house for that matter. So, I scrambled to come up with an excuse."Uh... I'm so sorry, but I'm feeling under the weather today. I don't think I can make it," I lied, hoping she'd buy it.She took a moment, then replied, "No worries, Melanie. I'll come ove
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 55
LEOSarah was in the midst of a difficult labor. Despite her pain, all I could do was offer her words of encouragement while holding her hand, leaving the doctor and his team to do their job."I'm so tired. I don't think I can do this anymore," Sarah's voice was weak, and tears were already streaming down her face."You're strong, Sarah. You can do this," I tried to encourage her, even though I was scared myself. "She needs to have a C-section. There's a small complication, and if we don't act quickly, the babies might suffocate, and they could end up dying" The doctor explained to me after he had taken me to a corner to let me know of the challenges. Babies? Did I hear that right?I was surprised by the news, but there was no time for questions. I gave them the green light for the operation. This time, I had to wait outside with Melanie.As I stepped out, I found Melanie sitting on the floor with her sister Isabelle. She pointed towards a young boy who had
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 56
SARAH After my baby girl was born, everything seemed to magically change. It was like our problems had vanished into thin air. Isabelle, the one who had caused so much trouble, turned herself into the police and told them her side of the story. Surprisingly, she only got a one-year prison sentence as an accomplice. Thank goodness it wasn't too harsh. But then, out of nowhere, Clara stopped showing up to work. She didn't even bother to resign or ask for permission. She simply vanished. I felt the urge to call her several times, but then I remembered that we were on bad terms. My cousin Emma had promised to make my life miserable, but it seemed like she had given up. We almost forgot she existed. The guys who helped her kidnap Raya were already in prison, getting what they deserved. But then, something caught my attention. Leo started coming back home later than usual for more than a week now. And whenever I asked him about it, he always blamed it on bad traffic. One day, I was at
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 57
SARAH17 YEARS LATER Carolyn stormed into the house, slamming the door with a bang. She plopped herself onto the sofa and propped her leg up on the center table."What's your problem, Caro? Get your feet off the table now!" I demanded.She rolled her eyes at me and reluctantly took her legs down."What's going on, Caro? And where's your brother?" I asked."I don't know, and I don't care!" She spat.Just then, Jake entered and came over to me, planting a kiss on my cheek."Good afternoon, Mom," he greeted and started to walk away, but I called him back, noticing how strangely calm he seemed. It was unusual for him."Come here, Jake," I said, pulling him back. "I'm fine, mom. Really," he reassured."But I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already responding! What's going on?" He stood before me, rolling up his shirt sleeve to reveal a fresh wound on his hand."Oh my goodness, Jake! Who did this to you?" I asked in shock."Guess what? Big bro got into a
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 58
SARAHJake was a quiet boy, rarely speaking and often hard to read. I couldn't help but worry about how he would handle my mother-in-law staying with us for a whole month.I was furious with my husband for not telling me about his mother's plan to visit, let alone her plans to stay for so long. Who knew, she might even decide to stay even longer than that!Now, Grandma was here, along with me and my son Jake. Leo had suggested that I try to get the two of them to bond and become more familiar with each other. But I thought it was a ridiculous idea. Grandma had never shown any interest in connecting with Jake, only with Carolyn. It was painfully obvious that she disliked Jake.I whipped up a batch of tasty fries for Grandma and called on Jake to bring them over. But when he came back, he was fuming and upset. If he were a girl, I bet he would have bawled his eyes out."What's the matter, son?" I asked, holding his face gently.Leo came home hours later, but Jake was still missing. Unab
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 59
SARAHThe house appeared to be engulfed in flames. I couldn't think of anywhere Jake could be at that moment. Adding to the trouble, my mother-in-law seemed unconcerned about finding the boy.Leo grew impatient. It was the first time in years that he had the guts to stand up to his mother and express his disapproval."You're the reason that boy left this house. You've constantly filled his head with foolish and unnecessary lies!" he shouted at his mother."So, you're calling me an idiot?" she asked, pretending to be serious."That's not what I meant! You're twisting my words and I can't stand it when you do that!" he yelled even louder."Dad!" Caro called out, trying to stop her dad from yelling at Grandma."Shut up, Caro! Shut up and stay in your seat!" he snapped at Caro, now facing her directly. She stumbled and fearfully sat back in her chair."All of this is your fault too. You had a loving, caring brother, but you threw it all away because of some stupid
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 60
SARAH Leo was furious after Jake woke up. He had fainted while watering the flowers outside with his aunt Cora. Carolyn called me and informed me that Jake's medication was untouched and still sealed. This meant that he hadn't been taking his medicine."Do you even wish to live? If you truly wanted to survive your condition, you wouldn't have skipped your medication!" Leo shouted at Jake, who sat silently on his grandmother's bed.I enveloped Jake with my hands, as though shielding him from his father's angry outburst."What's the point of me existing, huh?" Jake asked, now looking up at his father."Don't say that, Jake," I whispered to him."I know I'm not your real son. I don't belong here."Leo, who had been yelling all this time, suddenly calmed down, realizing that the boy was revealing his inner truth."Grandma has told me countless times that no matter how hard I try, I'll never truly be accepted into this family."Just then, Lilian who had been out f
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 61
SARAHHer presence in our home was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. I couldn't stand the way she flaunted her body, desperately seeking attention from my husband, Leo. But I wasn't blind to her scheming ways, oh no, I saw right through her little game!On this particular day, Leo came home early, just as I was returning late from visiting a dear friend who had just given birth. And who do I find? None other than Emily, the vixen housekeeper, parading around in skimpy clothing that left nothing to the imagination.Her outfit was daring, to say the least. Her top, barely covering her ample bosom, and her shorts, hugging her curves as if they were painted on. It was clear that she was intentionally putting herself on display for Leo's eyes only.Fury boiled inside of me as I stepped in and saw her. How dare she disrespect me in my own home? I knew exactly what she was trying to do - seduce and steal my husband away from me. Well, she had another thing coming!I f
