Sarah stumbled forward and looked at the door scared but sighed in relief when she saw maids who
were carrying her stuff.
"Sorry ma'am... We didn't knew that you are inside otherwise we would have knocked..."
The maid quickly apologized.
"No problem... Please continue your work..."
Sarah stepped away from their path giving them space to come in.
This was her first time coming in his bedroom, Sarah looked around with impressed look. The room
was three times bigger than her, it was like a penthouse. The walls were mostly empty but was shining
due to lights. The big sparkling chandelier was hanging middle of the ceiling. The king size bed was
neatly arranged, she walked towards the closet which was the size of the room she has given in this
mansion. All his branded suit and shoes were arranged in the shelves. Ties, watches and belt
everything was screaming money. It felt like she is looking at some celebrity's closet. The maids were
busy in arranging her stuff on the other side.
She looked at the window which was occupying almost whole wall. Sarah walked towards it and
stepped out in the attached balcony which was Giving the beautiful view of the forest and the city
behind it. She took off her coat and placed on the railing, she closed her eyes and breathed in fresh air,
her hair swayed with the air as she enjoyed the cool breeze. For a moment she forgot where she is
standing and whose room she is now. It was so satisfying to stand alone under the dark sky and forget
everything for a moment to let yourself breath.
On other hand Ace was trying to make Xavier understand that Sarah is not ready for this relationship or
he shouldn't force her for anything.
"She is scared of you Xavier..."
Xavier Smirked placing his hand in his pockets.
"Good... She should be..."
Ace looked at him in disbelief.
"What's wrong with you... You didn't wanted to marry Natasha and she is Sarah. Sarah is a good
person, Xavier... Why would you hate her, I don't understand that?..."
"Good person!..."
Xavier scoffed.
"No seriously, you shouldn't treat her like this... She is already terrified by you. She saw you killing that
man in the alley and next day she was forcefully married to you. She didn't even get a chance to see
your face. You left her alone on the aisle and that was the first time she got to know that her father is a
mafia boss. It's obvious that she doesn't trust you because she saw you with Amanda on your wedding
night..."
Ace countered.
"At least you should have kept that whore out on your wedding night, Xavier... Sarah saw everything
and wanted to stay away from you. Well I don't mind Because she has witnessed everything..."
Xavier kept his face blank.
"She wanted to stay away from me!..."
He stated.
"Guess, it's a time to be a good husband now..."
Ace frowned at him when Xavier's lips twitched upward in a cunning smirk.
"Xavier what are___"
Xavier interrupted him saying...
"I don't care Ace... I don't care that if she is forced into this or not. I don't care if she has seen me killing
someone or not... I don't care if she is scared of me or she has seen me fucking some whore, because
I don't love her. She is my wife only on the fucking papers. I am not giving her any privilege in my life..."
Xavier took a threatening step towards Ace.
"And I will treat her however I want, if I want to scare her, I will... if want to abuse her, I will... I can treat
her however the fuck I want because she is my wife not yours Ace. So, stay the fuck away from her.
You are no one to tell me how should I treat my wife..."
Ace frowned at his words, he did noticed how he is saying my wife, it was more like a possessed man.
After spitting venomous words at him Xavier turned around to leave but ace stopped him.
"Before you anything to her remind yourself about your mother. I am sure you don't want to become
your father..."
Ace said and Xavier's eyes snapped towards him. He do remember how his mother used to lie battered
in her own blood in the corner, how much animal his father was and how his childhood is traumatized
by it.
Xavier didn't replied as he started walking towards his bedroom. He opened the door and get in. The
maids was done with their work so the room was empty. His eyes roamed in the bedroom to find a one
particular person but couldn't see her anywhere. Frowning he took off his coat and threw it on the
couch.
Xavier inspected his surroundings and finally got her glimpse in the balcony. He slowly walked towards
the direction with storm of emotions holding inside his broken heart. He has thousands of questions to
ask but still doesn't have anything to say. He wants to do so many things to hurt her but still doesn't
want to do anything. He stepped out and halted in his place when he looked at the beauty in front of
him. His eyes roamed on her body. The air was giving glimpse of her every inch by making her clothes
clung to her body. Her shoulder length black locks were dancing while she was enjoying the breeze
with closed eyes.
Xavier couldn't stop his heart from fluttering at the scene. Old memories came crashing down on him
like a tornado.
FLASHBACK
"Sarah don't stand on the edge, you will fall down..."
Xavier Scolded trying to pull back from the edge of the cliff.
Sarah turned around trying to fix her flying hair.
"Come on Xavier, what are you doing there... See it's so beautiful, come here..."
She yelled as her voice echoed in the hills.
"I am fine here, I am not crazy like you..."
He yelled back.
"Are you coming back here or do I have to drag you..."
Sarah walked towards him giggling.
"Xavier you are so boring... We are on trekking and you are not enjoying the nature at all... What's the
fun in it then..."
"I am here for you... So you won't do any crazy shit. You have a habit to get in trouble when I am not
around..."
He held her by arm dragging her closer.
Sarah stood up on her toes and pecked his lips.
"But I want you to enjoy Xavier... Come with me..."
She dragged him towards the edge and he followed.
"Stand here and close your eyes..."
Xavier sighed and closed his eyes, Sarah smiled as he complied.
"Now forget everything and relax... Try to feel the nature, it will make you feel free..."
She said in a gentle tone.
Xavier opened his eyes and pulled her in front of him, caging her in his arms while Sarah snuggled
closer to his warmth. His leather jacket was warmer than hers.
"The only thing which gives me sense of freedom and happiness is you baby... I don't need anything
else..."
He said resting his forehead on hers and her smile widened.
They both sat down and she leaned back on his chest while enjoying the view.
"Aren't you afraid of heights Sarah... You shouldn't go to the edge so carelessly..."
He Scolded again.
"I am not scared Xavier because I know you are there to save me... If you are there then I have no
worries..."
She replied making him smile.
"And what if I am not there to protect you..."
He questioned and she smiled.
"Then I don't think there is anything else to live for... I will happily surrender myself to the death..."
FLASHBACK ENDED
Xavier couldn't understand that how can someone love so much yet can hate the same person with all
his guts. He looked at her with clenched jaw and pushed her.
Sarah's eyes snapped open and she gasped loudly when she lost her balance.
