It was an understatement to say that Sarah didn't sleep that night. No one at the mansion had. After Victor told her to get out of his office, she wandered around the mansion, trying to think of anything that could help the police to find Benjamin.The officers came a few minutes later, and Victor went downstairs to talk to them. Eventually, they called Sarah to report to them what happened and they also went to the hospital to talk to Edward and take his testimony.The policemen assured Mr. Reed they would do everything they could, and the staff at the mansion was guided not to give any information to the outside world, even though the news were probably all over the internet by now. But Victor didn't want any press outside his house, so he told them to call the police if anyone was seen trying to watch the movement inside the mansion.They waited the whole night for a call or anything that could tell them that Benjamin was fine, but nothing happened. The silence inside the residence

The last couple of days had been the worst nightmare in Victor's life. He had never thought he would feel so much fear and helplessness. As a CEO, he was used to dealing with situations that demanded him to have his mind in the right place. But whenever Benjamin was involved, he would simply lose it.When he saw Sarah and Edward coming back without his nephew that day, he instantly knew that something bad had happened. He thought he was prepared for that type of occasion, but it turned out he was wrong.He didn't blame anyone except himself. He knew it wasn't Sarah's fault, but he also couldn't react in a warm way towards her while he knew nothing about Ben. He simply couldn't.All sorts of bad things were probably spinning inside her mind, but Victor just wanted to be alone. During the long and excruciating hours that he waited for any news at all from Benjamin, he noticed that she was always around, peeking inside his office, trying to see if he had heard anything. But he ignored her

"What did you just say?" Victor asked, his voice failing."Sarah. Do you know this woman?" James repeated.Victor gulped and blinked a few times, trying to make sense of what he had just heard. That was not possible. Sarah would never do something like that. In fact, she was lying on a bed in a coma, trying to fight for her life. There was no way she was behind it.She would never hurt Benjamin or put his life at stake. She wasn't that type of person, and Victor was well aware of that. Whatever that meant, he knew it wasn't true. But at the same time, she insisted that he took her with him for the rescue mission. Did she know anything? Maybe she could be planning on doing something to make sure that the plan went smoothly like she wanted.What was he thinking? Victor shook his head, trying to prevent those thoughts from going any further. How could he possibly suspect her? He knew her, he knew her heart."What else did they say? Did they have any proof?" he continued, looking at the g

When Sarah opened her eyes, the brightness of that white room blinded her for a few seconds. She had no idea where she was and what had happened, but a heavy pain on her chest made her gasp for air. It was like her whole body had been beaten up and, what were all of those wires attached to her? She reached her nose with her hand, trying to take everything out, but another hand grabbed hers before she could reach it."Calm down, Miss Johnson. I'll do that for you. Just make sure to be calm. Everything's fine. You're at the hospital, but you're out of danger now," the woman explained, taking off the nasal thing from her face.Hospital? Sarah frowned. Her throat was too dry and also a bit sore to talk, so she only muttered to the nurse to get her some water first. The woman handed her a glass and she drank it up."Why am I here? What happened?"And then the woman explained everything that had happened while the memories came back as a wrecking ball inside Sarah's mind. She got shot tryi

His hands started to move from her back down to her legs and butt. He squeezed her buttocks with both hands and raised her from the floor, making Sarah wrap her legs around him.Victor started to walk blindly across the bedroom, trying to reach the bed without having to break apart from her.His legs bumped into the wood and she fell backwards on the mattress; an inviting and tempting mattress. His weight was all over her, but she didn't mind. It just felt good to have him on top of her.She could feel how delicate and careful he was being with her, especially because she had just been out of the hospital and he didn't want her to get hurt at all.He placed himself in the middle of her legs, as his hand grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up to kiss her once more. Their tongues danced in a frenetic rhythm, so did his hands.He reached the hem of her shirt and took it off before she had the chance to even blink. Sarah looked at him as he admired her barely naked breasts, only covered
