The Truth In Your Eyes.... Loving You Again

CH-47.... We found her

1 week later.

"Miss James this is for you."
A receptionist on her twenties handed a bouquet of gypsophila to Sarah with a big smile but her eyes were slightly parted due to envy.

"Wow. Mr Smith is so romantic. I too need a boyfriend like him.". One of Sarah's colleague exclaimed in excitement.

Sarah took the bouquet and thanked the receptionist. She smiled, excusing herself from the envious gaze of the women she went straight to her cabin.

Now it has become everyday story for her.  Everyday Victor would send her bouquet of Gypsophila which was her favorite flowers. Couldn't image how he knew about it. Forget it,  her words were like air to that man.

She placed the flowers in the vase and send a message to Victor.

"I am gonna throw those flowers in front of your office, if you keep sending it."

Victor phone buzzed, he took out to read the message. His lips spasmed. Really?  He thought.

The managers and directors who were present in the meeting exchanged few words in dissapointment.

Nowadays it was more like they were seeing things. Their boss who had never smiled in front of them, from the day since he took over the business five years ago, would now smile to himself looking at his phone.

They were in the middle of an important meeting. It was Victor who made the rule of turning their phone on silent mode before entering the meeting room.

But looking at how their boss was going back to his own words and even was smiling to himself in the middle of an important discussion, they heaved a quick sigh of frustration.

Anyways,  boss is always right they thought and satisfied themselves with those explanation for the time being.

Victor and Sarah were like officially dating. They were a hot topic of discussion in the entire city.  The Smith's were too powerful while the James were too down to earth.

Their background of one belonging from the underworld and another from the society of charity and social work, was too much for people to digest.

From that day onwards Sarah and Victor both got back to their own world. Victor almost buried himself with his business and Sarah was also busy working in a new hospital.

Though they were living together in Victor's secret residence for the time being but they barely talked face to face. Victor would come late at night when Sarah would be in deep sleep and leave early in the morning.

Sarah was too annoyed by the situation but he kept telling her that she would be safe with him around, as Roger was not someone to trifle with.

"I will visit my parents today." Sarah left the message to Victor and tideined herself. Finally she made her mind to see her parents. They might have calmed down, she thought and left the hospital.

The staffs were gossiping behind her back but she acted like she did not heard them at all and drove her Audi towards the James.

"Mom." Sarah reached the living room and spoke in soft voice.

Scarlett was reading a book while William was eating fruits from the plate. They both were sitting facing Sarah but no-one raised their head to look at her as if they didn't heard her.

Sarah felt a sharp pain in her heart. Her parents who were always supportive and comforting in whatever she did in the past were acting like a stranger to her now.

Still, she walked towards them and sat beside Scarlett.

"Caroline, please make dinner for me too." Sarah thanked the maid who passed her water and said giving her a warm smile.

The maid nodded and left she was also happy to see Sarah. Finally there will be some bright days in this house she thought and relaxed her heart. She will definitely cook everyones favorite today.

Sarah drank mouthful of water and placed the glass on the table. Still no one reacted.

"Mom, Dad is Lisa not around?" Sarah asked wanting to start a conversation. As she already knew Lisa was living with Jason's parents for the time being to ease their relationship.

"If you have anything to say, please say it and leave".. Scarlett's tone was cold and distant.

Sarah's eyes welled up with tears. Did she really hurts her parents to that depth?

"Mom, why you and dad are against him?" Sarah cut the chase this time.

"Do our consent matters to you, Sarah?" Scarlett's voice was filled with anger.

William also came by Scarlett's side and rubbed her back wanting to calm her down.

"Dad, did I ever did anything to break your trust before, this is the first time I am in love with someone, why can't you both accept it?.  Lisa too married someone she loved, at that time you two happily agreed to her but why can't you both do the same for me?.

Sarah spoke on top of her lungs, she was also annoyed by her parents behavior.

"Sarah, watch your mouth. We are not against you marrying the person you love. You can marry anyone from this world but not him."

William eyes were gloomier he stared at Sarah with displeased look on his face and yelled towards her.

"Why did he did something wrong?" Sarah couldn't understand the reason why her parents were acting so strange lately. She asked in confusion.

"He is Roger's son, dammit. He is the son of a muderor. You can't be with him. That's it". Scarlett grabbed Sarah's hand and roared.

Sarah eyes widened in surprise. She wanted to speak but her voice were nowhere to be found.
Should she really breakup with Victor? 

She doubted looking at her parents she clearly saw their determination in their eyes. Nowhere in the earth they would be willing to accept him.

She was in deliemma either she should break apart with Victor or she should clear the muderor tag on Roger's Smith's name. Both was impossible for her.

"Sarah, baby. Listen to mom okay. Roger killed Anna's whole family just because he was angry. Do you think his son would be any different from him?"... Scarlett pulled Sarah closer to her embrace and said in a very comforting tone as if it was her last life saving straw.

"Why din't the police caught him then. I checked it there is no criminal record on Roger's Smith's name. " Sarah said in slightly confused tone.

Why were her parents so obsessed with Victor's mother case, which were never registered in any police station.

"So you think that I am making things?. Sarah,  one thing get it clear in your head, either you choose him or us. It's up-to you."

Scarlett pushed Sarah in anger, who almost fell in the sofa. Her voice was hoarse and cold. Both Scarlett and William looked at each other but din't bother to pull Sarah up.

Sarah's eyes twitched from both pain and disbelief. Did her mom really pushed her?. She really wanted to grab Roger Smith's neck and ask him the whole God damm story.

"Sarah you go for now. We will talk about it later." William finally spoke, he couldn't help himself seeing his family fighting. He had always dotted his two daughters but he can't hurt his wife.

She pulled herself together, gave one last look to her parents who were raged from anger and left without saying a word.

Scarlett broke down in tears seeing her daughters miserable gaze towards them. While William comforted his wife.

Sarah drove in full speed. She really wanted to die at this point of time. Hour after she reached her apartment and went straight towards her bed. She didn't wanted to see Victor for the time being.

She picked her phone and called her aunt. At this point only her aunt Annie Smith could give her a possible solution.

"Hello, my darling. Did you miss me?" Annie spoke elegantly on the other side...

Woo-hoo...... Woooooooo......
