Lonely Bride

In one shift he pinned me to the wall and said “I WANT YOU JUST YOU, and about your second question about taking care of you, then mam let me tell you, I never forgot that.

You always had eight security guards around you 24*7 from day one.”

From the moment, I got married to you.

I always knew where you were, what you were doing, and whom you were with.” He spoke in extreme anger.

And I was speechless, looking at him.

But then again, I started laughing at his lie.

“Really? I mean, I never thought you could lie this much, Mr. Hudson.”

Now, this is more. His lie is painful.

“Oh, really, if I am lying, then how do I know you used to sit with your coffee every morning at the door?

“How do I know you used to go out every weekend for some shopping?” He spooks showing his hands to his pocket.

“If I am lying, then how do I know you passed away at the graveyard after your granny’s cremation?” His eyes were accusing me of Something I do not know yet.

“If I am lying, then how do I know which college you were in? Who are your friend’s?” His words were stinging like a scorpion, biting me again and again.

“With whom did you start your company?” How come he knows everything?

“And how you, yourself, and made me proud tell me?” Saying he took a step towards me.

Each word was full of rage while he was seething in anger, and I lost my words. I do not know what to say.

‘So that means he was always there for me? I was never alone? But then why was he there but not there?’

My fragile heart has started messing with this new information.

‘Perhaps, why did he behave inadequately on our wedding day?’ My eyes were blurry by then.

‘What took him to come to me for five years?’ I wanted to cry, I wanted to sob. I wanted to ask everything my mind was asking, but could not.

These all questions were making me insane, and I was feeling weak.

Everything seems to suffocate me.

Before I understood anything or said anything, the darkness consumed me.’

SEAN POV

Today I finally told Sarah, but now I know she will have many questions the moment she gets up.

It is so painful to see her lying on the bed, all fragile. My heart is breaking peace by peace seeing her delicate self.

How life has been so unfair to her, I have added on to it.

I had my reason, but at the same time; I did not want to cause her any pain. Ever.

Knowingly or unknowingly, I had broken her heart and become a reason for her sorrow.

She does not deserve this. She deserves the best of the best and now I will make sure she gets what she deserves.

The doctor was checking her while I was sitting beside her, controlling my tears and whirling emotions.

This girl has changed a lot. She is not what I always used to think about her. She is different. She is far different from the girls I have ever met in my life.

“How come you are always present whenever she is in trouble, Mr. Hudson? I hope you are not the reason again.” I came out of my trance hearing the voice of Nathan. I can read the care and annoyance in his eyes and voice.

“Again? What do you mean by “again?” I asked, knitting my eyebrows.

“Do you think she had taken an extra dose by mistake last time?” Nathan spoke, looking at Sarah.

“No, I do not, but again, how come I am the reason?” I asked again. I wanted some more information about her. Though I had all the news about her, I wanted to know what she thought. How does she feel?

“Leave it, anyway, it is not my place to say anything.” He spoke, looking at the ceiling, controlling his emotions.

“So, it means she tries to commit suicide?” I doubted, but I was not sure. Perhaps I am sure she must have shared it with her friends.

However, this mare of thought made me guiltier than I already am.

“Mr. Hudson, she will be up by tomorrow. Mrs. Hudson is just tired. I told you do not let her take any stress. She needs rest, but I guess you guys are not understanding the meaning of rest.” Saying the doctor let out his frustration on us and I look down because I have no answer for this.

I thought I will control her till she feels better, but this girl was beyond stubborn. But now enough is enough.

“Roxy.” I called him, seething in anger.

“Yes, sir.” He comes instantly. I am sure he must be outside the door.

“Get the plane ready. We are leaving right now.” I heard a snort from Nathan, but I ignored it.

“Yes, sir.” I heard him say.

I looked at Sam and I said, “Sam, please pack Sarah’s important things and a few clothes rest will be arranged when we reach.” Sam looked surprised; however, I care less.

“What do you mean by us?” Nathan spoke, narrowing his eyes. Oh, so he thought I was going alone leaving Sarah.

Well man, you are wrong.

“We mean I and Sarah,” I said calmly.

“I cannot let you take her anywhere, Mr. Hudson.” Nathan shakes his head in no.

“If you are forgetting, then let me remind you, she is my wife. My legally wedded wife and I have full rights to her and I am not answerable to anyone in this room.” I stated as the matter of fact.

“Oh, please, you need not remind us about your marriage because her loneliness reminds us every day. I do not trust you. The moment you came back into her life, she tries to commit suicide. God knows what you have said to her, “Since you came, she is not herself and I cannot see my sister like this.” I can see hatred for me in his eyes.

“Front of my eyes if she tries to suicide, I do not know what will you make her do in my absence.” He spoke, gritting his teeth.

“Whether you like it, I will not let you take her anywhere.” Nathan declared.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“As I said before, Nathan, I do not need to explain myself to anyone here. I am taking my wife with me.” I am not that easy, my boy. You cannot win over me. I thought.

“Sorry, you cannot” Now he is behaving like a kid, but I understand he is worried about Sarah.

“Nathan, do not test my patience, buddy,” I said, rubbing my head.

“I am not, sir; I am just stating the fact I am not going to let you take her anywhere.” He again declared.

Closing my eyes, I spoke again “Look Nathan, I know you are worried about her but right now she needs rest. If she is here, she will not listen to anyone and you know it. That is why I want to take her home.

And anyway, she is going to the USA next week for her granny’s death anniversary like every year, So why not one week before? At least she will get rest for a week.” This time my voice came out polite. I would never forget these two are the pillars of a wife and they are concerned about her and her safety.

“Still, I’m Sorry.” He spoke, crossing his hands to his chest.

Now he is behaving like a kid. I thought, shaking my head.

“Mmm Nathan, anyway we must meet our client in the US, so how about I call them and ask them if they are ok to meet early and if they say yes, we also can go with them So that is how Sarah will take a break also and she will not be alone either.” Sam gives the best idea in the world.

“Nathan thought for some time and spoke. ” ok fine, find out if they are ok and if yes then fix the appointment. If not, then neither we are going nor Sarah.” He looked at me in a challenging way.

I wanted to roll my eyes at him, but I chose otherwise.

“Right away,” saying Sam, left the room.

I again looked at him. He looked like a kid who had won the trophy while authority was clear on him. I find him foolish by his winning dance while giving a few valid points to myself why not to kill Nathan.

Sam came and said, “Nathan, they are happy to meet us and I have fixed the appointment for the day after.”

Nathan Nod and looks at me. “I hope you do not mind us coming with you?” His voice was mocking.

“No, absolutely not, but I have a request. Let us leave before she gets up.” I held my voice politely again.

Nathan and Sam nod in agreement because they both know how their friend is.

After Some time, they left to get their stuff, and we left for the airport. After deciding to meet directly there, Sarah was under medication, so she was sleeping peacefully.
