Forced Marriage To The Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 37

AUTHOR'S POV

Sara stared at the clouds they were floating above. It was always mesmerising for her...

...Being in air and away from the world was always mesmerising.

She was feeling anxious. What could Grandfather Magnus possibly want from her?

“ Are you still not going to talk to me? ” Silas's voice pulled her out of her thoughts and she slowly moved her head to spare him a glance.

He was sitting right in front of her with his face supported by his hand. He seemed bored out of his mind.

Good, Sara thought.

He deserved this after what he said last night. She was just trying to be good to him and he ruined it all by being an ungrateful bitch.

Ignoring his puppy eyes, Sara looked back at the fluffy clouds.

He had apologized last night, thinking that she was sleeping but she couldn't sleep after what happened between them. She was restless but after he apologized like that...

She felt even more restless.

When he realized she was awake last night, he turned around and went to sleep leaving her to glare at the back of his head.

What was wrong with Silas Alexander? That was the question bugging her mind for the whole night.

And what was wrong with her that she thought about him for the whole night? This was the question which ran in her mind as she packed her stuff and boarded the flight.

Silas sighed for the nth time as he shifted his chin from his right hand to his left one. She had been thinking...Alot.

She went silent after uttering those two words. ' Ungrateful Bitch '. She was punishing him by staying silent.

But you did went overboard, his mind sneered at him. He regretted it deeply. That's why he apologized but she was not ready to forgive him.

No matter what they did, they always ended up right here.

Sara avoided him. Silas tried to get close.

This was almost a habit now.

Silas sighed again and relaxed back in the seat. He was tired. He would try to get past her huge wall later.

She, too needed to relax right now.

********

Just as the plane landed, a driver was waiting for them to take them to the Lexington Villa.

All of this was really worrisome for Sara.

“ You have an old soul inside this hot body of yours. You think too much. ” Silas t'ched dramatically and shook his head, receiving a glare from Sara successfully.

His eyes were boring in her head throughout the ride to the magnificient Lexington Villa. He didn't like how worried she was. He wanted to tell her that she had nothing to worry about but this would either make her suspiscious or worse ; Angry.

Both options were not suitable for him so he decided to keep his mouth shut on this matter.

They arrived at the Lexington Villa and Sara didn't waste a moment before opening her side of door and stepping out of the car.

Silas shook his head again and stepped out of the car when the driver opened the door for him. The look of disdain was still present in the driver's eyes.

Silas stopped by the driver's side and passed him a smile. He was the useless Son-in-law for all of them so they wanted to treat him as worse than all of them.

“ It's Camelia. ” Rowan who was sitting on the far right corner spoke out confusing Sara further.

Silas had come inside the living room while they all were busy in their family drama. He stood at the entrance with his right side supported against the doorway and his arms folded over his chest. His eyes scanned over every single person present in the room and he thoughtfully hummed to himself.

“ What happened to Camelia? ” Sara asked as she stepped forth in curiosity.

Now, this was really an interesting sight for Sara. She had never seen them all so serious before. This time, it seemed like she was not on the receiving end.

“ Camelia is in jail. ” Ryan sipped on his juice leisurely, not concerned about his sister at all as he informed Sara who blinked rapidly after the huge revelation.

“ What...I mean How? Why? ” Sara didn't know if it was a good news or a bad new yet. She needed to know the whole scenario before deciding if the fire was going to spread toward her or if it was going to move in the opposite direction.

“ She was charged for bribing goverment officers to get internal information repeatedly. She was charged for embezzlement and also money laundering. ” Maria sighed out and Sara glanced at her warily.

So Camelia was caught? But how? Sara thought and turned to look at Grandfather Magnus.

There was some kind of anger slowly engulfing her mind instead of utter relief.

She was supposed to feel relieved because one of the successors was out of the way. Even if Camelia came out of jail, the scandal would be too big for Grandfather Magnus to ever let her come back in the business.

“ What are you going to do Grandfather? ” Sara's voice was low but her tone was taunting.

Everyone felt that.

They knew what she was thinking but they didn't have the courage to say it.

Silas pushed himself off the wall when he realized Sara was not emotionally stable enough to make the right decision right now. Sara was running purely on emotions and it was not good for her ambition.

“ You made Camelia do all those crimes Grandfather. ” Before Silas could move toward her and stop her, Sara had already said what he dreaded she would say.
