Sarah looked at the bunch of files in front of her and threw her head back tiredly. It was late night; she
couldn't even see the people on the street anymore from glass wall of her office cabin. She glanced at
the clock and it was past 12am.
She took of her glasses and rubbed her forehead tiredly. She was working since morning like a robot.
At the end of the day all her energy had left her body and her eyes were screaming for sleep.
"These are the files you must read and sign miss. We have to send it back till morning..."
Her personal assistant Mr. William said. He was a man in his late fifties. A very much loyal and trusted.
"Okay, give me some time..."
She sighed and wore her glasses again.
'Great! now it will take one more hour.'
She huffed.
"Have you eaten something miss..."
He asked. He always asks that. He was trying to make her life easy as much as he can for which she
was very grateful.
She looked up and gave him a quick nod again looking down at her file. She wasn't much of a talker.
More like introvert you can say or may be she forced herself to become like that, Sarah is still trying to
figure that out.
"Yes I did..."
She lied again. In all this busy day she hardly got time to eat anything. She hasn't eaten anything since
this morning.
Mr. Williams looked at her and shook his head disappointingly. He knows that she didn't but she never
complaint or nag about it. He was feeling very bad looking at her condition.
Sarah was a beautiful woman. With amber eyes, perfect curves, height and tanned skin. A beautiful,
happy and friendly woman but people says right that time changes everything. And that's what exactly
happened with Sarah.
At the age of 25 she had few grey hair, dark circles under her eyes. She was losing her curves due to
starving herself for work. Instead of going out, dating and living a prime time of her age fully, she has
drawn herself into work.
Sarah never desired this life but after her brothers accident he were in coma. She has one more sister
Natasha but that brainless bimbo knows nothing about anything so all responsibilities fell on her
shoulders. She had to manage her father's group of companies alone. Her father was getting sick day
by day so she couldn't bother him about anything.
She was working hard to save and hold up her father's legacy still that old man wasn't satisfied. He was
mourning for his half dead son. Even after so much hard work she wasn't getting any praising from her
so called father. At the end of the day she Consoles herself saying she is just taking her
responsibilities. When her brother recovers she will be free. Free from Everything. Being a boss and
handling the companies wasn't her dream, she wanted to become a writer but had to scarifies her
ambitions because of her father.
In all this mess she had lost her real self. Where is the girl who used to laugh and smile all day? The
girl Who made others laugh now her own smile has got stolen!
"Done Mr. William... Is there anything else too that I need to pay attention..." She asked praying that he
should give her clean chit.
"No miss... That's all..."
He declared.
She thank god and stood up from chair. Her High heels were killing her. Finally she got rid of them and
wore her comfy sleepers.
"Let's go home please..."
She said walking ahead of him and he followed her.
Sarah was dying to feel her bed beneath her. All she wanted to do is sleep for some good time.
Even her empty stomach didn't bother her anymore.
She quickly get in her car and Mr. William started driving.
"Your father called me this morning..."
Her PA announced grabbing her attention.
"And ?..."
She asked coldly. Her father never called to ask her wellbeing, only to see if she has got the deals and
How much profit they made this month.
Her whole life she has craved for his loving words but that man is made up of stone.
'Just because I am his daughter and not son he treats me like this... Well I am doing everything which
my brother would have done, aren't I'
She was still in hope that one day her father will pay her back and look at her proudly. They never
really talked and their conversation got cut completely when her mother died. They live under one roof
but never crossed each other's path or should She say, ignored each other completely.
"And he wants to have dinner with you..."
Her assistant said.
This is the first time he has demanded something like this. Thousands of questions gathered in her
mind.
'Did he got my substitute who can manage everything. Or it's just for some deal. May be Natasha has
caused some serious problem this time... It's better if he has something to set me free, I am tired of my
colorless life...'
"Okay..."
That's all she said not wanting to talk much.
She was again engulfed by her thoughts when car came to halt.
"What happened ?..."
She asked noticing that they haven't reached their destination.
"I think I should check car... It might take some time..."
He said apologetically and stepped out.
She threw her head back frustratingly.
"Great..."
It was suffocating her in the car. She stepped out and decided to take a walk while her assistant fix the
car.
She walked down the empty alley to feel the cold and fresh air.
Sarah was still lost in her thoughts but a painful whimper brought her back to life. She followed the
direction of sound and quickly hid herself behind the wall.
Some men were beating a man who was on the floor. All were in black suits, build like tanks. She could
hear the man begging and screaming for his life which froze her on the spot. One man came ahead
from the group; she can see his face due to dim street lights. It was the most abandoned place of the
city and she was aware that crimes do happen here.
His eyes were cold grey, he looked young and handsome but she can see the evilness on his face.
How can someone be so handsome yet so cruel? He was the main, may be the leader, that's what she
thought.
That handsome criminal pulled out a knife and sliced that man's throat. Sarah was about to scream but
a large hand got wrapped around her mouth and muffled her voice.
