Sarah cried under the shower for an hour. Why her life have to be such a mess. After her accident

Everything has began to spiral downward.

When will she able to live her life. she has spent two years in coma for fuck sake. She doesn't even

know if she was really in coma or her so called family has lied to her. She doesn't remember anything.

Her life would have been way different than this. There wasn't any physical torture but emotional torture

was enough to break her. She was mentally tired. All she needed was a hug, a one tight hug which is

full of love and care, May be some soothing words too.

'I can't marry like this. I should have seen his picture. I have to talk to him. I can't marry a total stranger.

May be I could convince him to reject me so I don't have to marry... This is terrifying, I can't do this... I

can't...'

She changed her clothes and when she came out she saw Johnson sitting on the bed.

"Hey, I have brought dinner for you. You didn't eat anything..."

He said gently with smile.

"I want to meet him..."

She said not bothering to greet him.

Johnson face paled for a second but he quickly hide it.

"Why not... I'll talk to him. Why don't you take a seat first..."

Sarah reluctantly walked towards the bed and sat down. Johnson called Richard.

Sarah was continuously fiddling with her fingers, she was nervous. She never felt this much anxious

before not even when she signed the deals of millions.

Her eyes didn't left Johnson's face, She don't know why but she always gets creepy vibes from this

man. He was a fox in sheep's disgust.

He disconnected the call and looked at her.

"He is busy right now but he said that he will meet you tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry. I'll

arrange your meeting..."

Sarah nodded.

"Okay..."

Johnson nodded with smile.

"You should eat. I guess you haven't taken your medicines yet... Don't do that, Take care of you..."

"Mind your own business..."

She glared at him. Sarah never liked talking about her depression and anxiety with anyone. She knows

her family thinks of her as a psycho which angers her every time.

Johnson was taken aback by her tone but didn't said anything, he would have beat the shit out of her

but he can't touch his don's daughter. He stood up and left.

Sarah picked up the food plate and ate with the thought that Why Martha didn't brought her food today.

She ate and then took her medicines and within seconds sleep engulfed her.

Johnson peaked from the door and Smirked seeing that she has finished the food.

"He don't even want to see your face let alone meet you. Your life is going to turn upside down Sarah, I

hope you survive that..."

Next morning Sarah felt someone shaking her.

"Sarah... Sarah wake up..."

Sarah groaned and opened her heavy eyelids. She saw Martha shaking her furiously.

"What happened ?..."

"It's your wedding today... Wake up!..."

Her words were enough for her to sat up with a lightning speed.

"You slept whole day... It's afternoon and your wedding is in three hours..."

Sarah's eyes widened in shock. She jumped out of the bed and ran to the Johnson first.

"He waited for you but you didn't wake up..."

Was all Johnson said which was a total lie.

Sarah came back to her room with glossy eyes.

"Sarah..."

Martha looked at her sadly.

"Come sit here..."

Martha held her arms gently and made her sit on the bed.

"I want you to be strong honey. You are the CEO of the Rosewood empire don't act like a broken

teenage girl..."

Martha scolded her.

"If you can't ran away then fight instead of being a coward, don't think about results. Your mom was

married to your father just like you are getting married. But she was a fighter, she made your father

kneel in front of her and so can you my child. Whatever is coming for you deal with it like a worrior..."

"I know..."

Sarah mumbled looking down.

"Then stand up... Let's get ready. I just want you to be strong. You have deal with the problems which

were bigger than this and in future you will deal with the worse. It's nothing so stop being a cry baby..."

Martha said firmly.

"You have a very unique way to encourage Martha..."

Sarah smiled sadly.

"I won't give you false hope Sarah. You and I, both know it's not easy so better be prepared. You have

many things to face and deal..."

Sarah nodded and stood up.

"By the way why you slept all day and I came to know about it just a minutes ago..."

Martha questioned.

"You can guess Martha..."

Sarah gave her knowing look.

"It's my lovely father. Johnson messed with my food, I should have known when he brought food for me

but I was too lost in my thoughts. They must be scared thinking that I will escape like Natasha. For

which they weren't wrong, I was thinking about that..."

Martha sighed.

"No wonder he has doubled the security... Are you still going to escape..."

Sarah shook her head.

"NO... Enough of running and enough of crying. I am ready to fight. I can't run and hide for long time

anyways so why even bother. Let them do whatever they want, I won't back down..."

Martha looked at her proudly.

"Let's get you ready, shall we?..."

Sarah showered and Martha started doing her makeup.

"Why Natasha ran away ?..."

Sarah asked suddenly.

"Actually I am not sure but your sister is Obsessed with someone else. I overheard some maids saying

this. She is crazy about some man and wasn't ready to marry the Xavier king. And You know the rest...

But I have heard about Xavier too he is handsome, you don't have to worry."

Martha chuckled.

"Xavier king?..."

Sarah tasted his name.

"Yes, he recently came back to New York when his father passed away. So it's no problem if you

haven't heard about him or seen him..."

Martha did her hair.

"Okay... Is he a good man?..."

Sarah asked her.

"Every person in this world is good Sarah. What differentiates them is their priorities. A man who is nice

to his family may be not so kind to outsiders. We can't judge people before knowing them..."

She placed her hands on Sarah's shoulders.

"Even if that person is evil to you, do not judge before knowing his past, don't forget Lucifer was once

an angel..."

"You are too philosophical..."

Sarah chuckled.

"I'll take it as a compliment..."

Martha chuckled.

Martha got Sarah ready for the marriage. She looked at herself in the mirror. Even if that dress was

arranged at the last moment, it was hugging her curves perfectly. It was a beautiful mermaid gown.

Sarah never dreamt about her marriage, never thought what kind of man she desires or what kind of

wedding she wants. She never had time to think that. She looked beautiful but looking at her reflection

she felt like it's someone else, only thing was same are her soulless eyes. How did she became like

this, from a happy person to lifeless body. Life had hit her hard.

"Will you answer my most asked question Martha ?"

Sarah looked at her.

Martha smiled.

"You look stunning my child... And the answer of your question is I promised your mother that I'll take

care of you like my own child. I own her that..."

Sarah just nodded at her. She was tired of crying and had no energy to cry more over old memories so

she just gulped it down. Martha didn't drag it knowing how much sensitive topic it is for her.

Sarah's father came to escort her to aisle. She looked at his face and he looked emotionless. He

looked at her with straight face. She never managed to read this man, no matter how much she tries.

She took his hand and walked outside.

The wedding was small, in their mansion's garden and only in the presence of their family members.

Sarah felt nervous under everyone's gaze, she didn't missed the tight security around the mansion.

She closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

Sarah didn't looked at the man who was standing on the aisle. She couldn't. She looked everywhere

but at him. Her father left her near the aisle. Xavier didn't even bother to look at his bride let alone give

her hand to stand in front of him.

Sarah stood in front of him still looking down, she had no courage to look at him. Her nostrils instantly

filled with the disgusting smell of alcohol.

'is he drunk ?... Oh my god.'

Xavier was drunk, more than he thinks himself to be. He wasn't ready for the marriage, if it's not for his

benefit he wouldn't be there let alone marry a woman he didn't even see.

Priest started the ceremony while Sarah were looking down with frown. What kind of a man is she

marrying. For a second she thought to turn on her heels and run for her life but it was too late, she can't

run now.

Priest read the oaths and Xavier didn't even bother to hear him, his mind was somewhere else. When

Xavier didn't answer he again asked and brought him back to the reality.

"I do..."

Xavier said coldly still looking ahead not even bother to look at his bride.

Sarah was trying her best not to have panic attack. She was getting married, it was terrifying. Priest

asked her and her voice stuck in her throat. Her eyes darted towards her father who just gave her glare

daring her to do something stupid. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"I d_do"

She mumbled.

She finally muster up the courage and looked at her husband and ground beneath her feet slipped

away.
