Sarah pov Keith reached me on time and both of us left the mansion after midnight. He had brought the car, but it was sensible not to walk through the crowded area. When we reached the town, the place was swarming and without realizing what he was doing, Keith held my hand a little protectively. “Walk this side.” He pulled me towards the sidewalk and increased the grip around my hand, “Coffee? Or slush?” His offer seemed absurd to me, “The girl is missing for the past two and a half days, Keith,” I pointed out, “We can’t waste our time on a picnic.” “We are not exactly picnicking, Sarah. Even if the girl is missing, we do need our food and drink… or are you planning to go on a hunger strike?” He smirked and pulled me towards a small café. The man had an influential background. His father dealt with property, and he was the only heir to all the wealth. Still, he was so fond of going to small cafes. A few minutes back my mind was on Ashley but once I entered the café, I could not

Sarah povTaking a cab, instead of going home I went to a salon to get a hairdo. Yup!Right now, I did not need to be frustrated. I had to do this on my own. No one would help me unless I help myself.The so called peers and buddies were only interested either in my wealthy background or my smiling face. Nobody wanted to know what was going on inside my head and my heart.The only one who used to care had slipped far away and I was adamant about bringing him back. I was not happy to give up so easily.After my hairdo, I got myself a leisure manicure and pedicure.“Ma’am. What nail color would you prefer?” The salon girl asked me while massaging my feet. The other one was giving a massage to my arm and knew perfectly about the pressure points.“Umm...” I opened my eyes lazily, “maybe a moss green color!” I said and closed my eyes again.My brain had finally started working.The regret of spending the night with Keith was lessening now. I could always explain to Justin that I did it b

Third person pov Justin was pacing in the corridor waiting for the doctors to come out of Ashley’s room. All he wanted to do right now was barge inside and take her home. Thankfully she gained consciousness while he was taking her to the hospital. He leaned his forehead against the wall placing his palms on it. He was getting frustrated with each passing minute when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped up and spun around. The man who owned the cotton candy stall in the small market was standing behind him. By now Justin had totally forgotten about him. “She will be fine, Sir.” He tried to calm Justin quite awkwardly. Maybe because there was a clear difference in class and status between them. “I could not even ask your name,” Justin told him humbly, “Thank you for saving her.” Apparently, he was the one who had pulled Ashley out of harm’s way but unfortunately, Ashley’s head had bumped into something hard making her unconscious on the spot. “I understand, sir. My name doesn’

Sarah pov After getting done with her cup of broth, granny got hold of her stick and rose to her feet. A maid was there to take her inside. Marwick and I stood up in respect until she left us alone. She knew Marwick didn’t like her. He had been quiet all this time not uttering a single word in her presence. My brother could sometimes be as stubborn as a mule. I declined when Marwick extended a beer can towards me. “Since when have you started saying no to parties?” He asked casually and took a chug from his can. How to tell him that I had stopped partying altogether ever since my fiancé got married? “So, you wanted to talk to me.” Marwick placed the can on the coffee table and took the chair opposite mine. We were on the vast lawn of the Deluca mansion. This was the safest place where nobody could hear us. I had spent my teenage years playing in those vast green grounds running after Justin. And see. I was still running after him. “I need your help, Marw. Regarding that Ashley

Ashley Walters pov We all were shocked when Sarah hit Keith. First, she had disbelief on her face when she looked at me getting off the car along with Justin. After she slapped Keith, we all gasped. The snake man was about to say something when Keith did not let him. He just told everyone, it was no one’s business but Sarah’s and his. Crazy girl and a crazy dude. I did not know what got into her. Before heading inside, the snake man told me while hugging me again that his name was Marwick, and he was Sarah’s brother. Woah! Like I mean… small world. He was nothing like Sarah. I had almost forgotten that he had become cold and distant when he was taking his leave in Arguli beach before dropping me at my cottage. But here when he lifted me and twisted me, making me laugh, he seemed almost like some other man.A friendlier one. “What are you so happy about?” Justin kissed my temple in the maid’s presence who was placing my things back in my wardrobe. “Nothing. It’s just that I wa
