Be My Wife

26. True or False

SARAH'S POV

I came from the shower to find Christian wasn't there in the bed. He said he was gonna check on Blue. But, is something wrong? I know it is. The way Christian talked to me was normal, but I know it wasn't normal. The feeling when someone changes their tone even slightly, but you have the idiotic superpower to notice the change....yeah, I am that one.
I don't know if he was still pissed because of what Markov said or something else is there I don't know about. Anyhow, I get ready, and move to the kitchen to find Blue sitting in her baby chair, but her father isn't anywhere.

"Has Christian left?" I asked the servants.

"Yes miss, he left in a hurry half hour ago." The intuitions were right. Something is terribly wrong.

"Did he bring Blue down?"

"No, mam....I did." The nanny answers.

"Is something wrong?" Elena appears in the kitchen. It's 9 o clock she must be back from dropping Niko and Lily at school.

"Sarah? Are you fine?" She asks me. I bet she can read my face.

"I have had this bad feeling since morning. I don't know what it is about but something is definitely wrong. Christian left without informing me or anyone else. So it was kinda weird. Since last night he promised he wouldn't do that ever again."

"You're thinking too much, Sarah. It must be some emergency if he left without any information. I know this mafia world, and no one ever knows what's gonna happen next second. He will be back soon. Let's eat something. You haven't eaten since night before."

I gave her a pressed smile and maybe she is right. It must something urgent if he left like that. I hope everything goes well.

CHRISTIAN'S POV

"I need each and every detail and make sure all this information is clear as a crystal. Now, speak, " I warn Simon and take a seat to face whatever comes next.

"Boss, I did my research about Mrs. Knight. She started  living in that apartment for just 4 months before you met her. Before that, there were no traces of her living in the city. She bought the apartment on a 6 month lease and did a one-time payment to the owner."

"But the owner said she hasn't paid the rent."

"That was not the owner. She paid a random guy to say that to you. The real owner of the property is settled in Dubai with his family."

I was not able to process all this information as speedily as he was giving me. Sarah lied to me about all that? But why?

"The art gallery where she worked is owned by an Italian art enthusiast. There was not much to look into it since the manager said she was good at what she did and didn't cause any problem."

"Anything about her family as Markov has said about?"

"He was right, boss. She is not Sarah Williams. That's her fake identity. She is the daughter of Russian mafia. Boris Kosikawa. . This is what I have come to know about her."

"This must be a fucking joke Simon. This is not possible. Boris Koliskawa died in an attack from the New york Bratwa, and his heir was his daughter....Calista" I say, and before I complete my sentence he slides me a passport photocopy with a photo of Sarah but the name written is Calista Kosikawa. Fuck.

"But I did a background check on her Simon? Why didn't I find any of these?"

"I have no idea about that, sir. But I am sure the information we have now is 100% correct. "

"Fuck this correct shit. I'll believe this only when Sarah confesses herself until then all this is just a nonsense to me." I shoot towards the parking and this whole thing is just getting on my nerves. I am not a very patient man, but I have done my best when I'm near her. If all this is true one of us will die tonight!

I reach the mansion in 10 mins and everyone is in the living room. Elena and Sarah are sipping tea while Blue is crawling and Vanessa has also joined them this time. I take a minute to compose myself and not to ask her everything right away infront of everyone.

"Christian? Where were you? You said you were gonna be here for breakfast."her eyes dart to me. And for the first time, that feeling of love when I look into her didn't appear. I had a questioning gaze and she could very well read it.

"Something came up. Can I talk to you, Sarah?" Vanessa and Elena look up to me with a questioning stare, but I ignore them.

"Is everything alright?" Sarah asks.

"I just need to ask you something. I am waiting in the bedroom. Be quick." She gets up from the couch and follows me instantly. Her small legs not able to keep pace with my strides. I unlock the bedroom allows her to come in and lock it immediately.

"You're freaking me out, Christian. Tell me what's going on and why you have been behaving weird since last night?"

"I'll ask you what's going on. And I expect nothing but truth."

"Is it about me?" She asks.

"Everything is about you Sarah Williams. Oh, I'm sorry, CALISTA KOSIKAWA"
