Lonely Bride

Stressed

NATHAN’S POV

“How is she?” I asked.

I don’t know why, but I am a hell of a lot worried about her. Somehow, the feeling I have been getting for the past few days isn’t good and is making me worried about her.

“Calling me twice a day won’t change anything, Nathan. I said, She is fine in the morning, I suppose.” Sean’s cocky yet mocking voice hit my eardrums.

If he thinks his arrogance will stop me from calling him, then he is wrong.

“Am I bothering you with my call, Mr. Hudson?” I asked in the same manner.

“Well, not until you started calling twice or thrice a day.” I know he is a little annoyed. I also know he is a busy person. However, for me, it’s a relief that he never misses my call.

“Well, my apology, but I am worried about her,” I said, closing my eyes while rubbing my forehead as it’s been raining since morning.

“She is the safest here, and you know it right. And forget about my security. You have your guards around her too. Then why are you so worried?” I heard his voice.

I know he is saying the right thing, but my heart is not at ease right now. She is my sister; I never had one, and I love her in my life.

“I know, but people who are around her aren’t that easy to forget. The file you showed me has shaken me to the core. I still remember what you said. A small mistake, and count her dead. I know those words aren’t easy for you to say; however, you and I both know the reality. And those people will go to any extent to harm her.”.” Walking back to my chair, I slump in.

“I won’t let anything happen to her. Don’t worry.” Sean again replied to my worry.

I know he won’t let anything happen to her. I know how much he loved her and what he did for her. Not everyone is so general these days, but he was way too lenient for Sarah.

There was a time when I hated him to the core. Because until then I only knew Sarah’s side of the story, I wanted her to stay happy and wanted to keep her away from Sean. After we got to know Sam was connected to Sean, I did all the background checks on the people around Sarah. This time, I did not want to get hurt, no matter what.

But now I know both sides of the story. However, I did not trust him earlier. Hence, I kept my guard up for her security once I got to know her life was in danger.

But with time, I saw how much he cared for her.

He bet his kids on her security. He knew their lives would be under threat until they came to this world, but he wanted to take this chance. He wanted Sarah to get out of his grandfather’s will.

He made a big bet. And I know it won’t be easy to bet on your blood. Your child.

I know he will never be able to give himself up if anything happens to the kids. And he also knows Sarah might not forgive him for the same. However, he took this big risk, so she gets out as soon as possible.

This man has the heart of gold.

And what to say about my little sister, Sarah? She is very intelligent, but when it comes to trusting people, she has the worst judgment.

She trusts everyone and anyone who shows her a little affection.

The way Sean has kept her safe and sound till now is commendable. Moreover, those will never face Sean directly. They know what he is capable of. Perhaps until now, they have played their cards behind the scenes, but the way they have tried wasn’t something to ignore. They are waiting for one mistake, and the damage will be done.

“I know.” I finally spoke my heart out.

“Do you want to talk to Sarah?” He asked me.

“No, let it be. I spoke to her yesterday. I will speak to her tomorrow. Bye,” I say, hanging up after hearing his reply. I close my eyes to take a nap.

I opened my eyes tirelessly, hearing a knock, and saw Sam standing at the door. Behind her, I noticed my assistant giving me an apologetic look for not being able to stop her. Nodding to her, I let her go and looked at Sam, who was standing at the door proudly.

I know she is very stubborn if she wants to be, and I am sure she must have used her charm and authority to reach my cabin without my notice.

Though I used to hate her to my core, I never restricted her entry into the company. Not because I did not want to, but because I knew she would never try to come back. And today, her presence is quite surprising to me.

My eyes again stuck to her, and I gave her a glance from top to bottom. She is wearing a tight miniskirt with a blazer on top.

Gosh, how does she never leave any chance to annoy me? She knows how much I hate it when she shows off her skin more than is needed. She knows which button to push. I shake my head, looking at her.

“What pleasure surprised Ms. Johnson?” I spoke, looking at her.

My tone was full of mockery. Though I don’t have any issue with her being Eric’s sister, I wish she had not kept that secret hidden from me at all. It hurts a lot to know she did not trust me enough when it came to Sarah’s security.

But I don’t want to blame her for this because something is lacking in my love; hence, she has not trusted me enough.

Her eagle eyes stuck on me while she was already walking toward me.

Each step of hers makes my heart go crazy, bit by bit.

I have never felt this craziness as much as I do for her. She is the only girl who is capable of making me go on my knees.

Her single glance makes me go crazy.

I again noticed her minimal make-up with this loud red lipstick, open hair, and deep neckline. Though she is wearing a jacket on top, I can still see the deep neckline due to the open bottom of the jacket.

If she is here to seduce me. I swear it’s working already without her doing anything.

The memory of taking her virginity is still fresh for me. And I still remember how she tasted. I can devour her day and night.

“Penny for your thought, Mr. More.” I snapped out of my thoughts at hearing her.

I would have embarrassed myself if any other person was here, but with her, I feel nothing like that. She knows me inside and out, and I have no shame when it comes to her.

“I am sure Ms. Johnson might not like my thoughts if I share them, as they weren’t innocent thoughts.” I smirked at her.

“I like Mr. More, but he still has not so innocent thoughts about me, and I shall be delighted to know them.” She shot back, smirking shamelessly.

Gosh, how much I love this wild cat and how I like to tame her.

But I know things are different now between us.

“Don’t mind me, Ms . Johnson. So, what’s the reason for Ms. Johnson to leave such a beautiful city and visit here? And why are you standing? Please have a seat,” I said while adjusting myself back to my chair, and sleep suddenly seemed nowhere in sight.

“What is bothering you?” She looked at me and spoke, ignoring my questions.

I feel as if my girl is asking me and looking as worried as she used to be for me due to my busy schedule.

“Nothing, just stress and workload” I replied that I knew what she was indicating.

“Stress of what?” She asked again, taking her seat in front of me.

“I am just worried about Sarah. I have not been getting good vibes for the past few days.” I spoke, rubbing my forehead. Her question again brought back the pain, which I just forgot about looking at her.

“You know you don’t need to. Sean will take care of her. Moreover, you have your own security for her.” She spoke with a small smile.

“I am not worried about the security purpose. I am worried about Sarah’s nature. She has a habit of making decisions in haste, and she has poor judgment. She trusts people very easily.” I spoke, shaking my head.

“I am still not in favor of you guys hiding such big information from her.” I said it annoyingly.
