Forced Marriage To The Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 51

AUTHOR'S POV

“ Marry me! ” Sara had said this to him out of nowhere as they both sat side by side on the two swings.

The kid with light brown eyes had choked out on his breath. “ Why? ”

“ Because you are my first and last friend. I will wait for you to grow up, I will wait for you to come and marry me. ” Sara had explained to him and he had promised to come to marry her when he got old enough to marry someone.

They both promised to never leave each other but when Sara’s mother died such an unfortunate death, she lost every good memory with everyone. She still remembered him though. For a little while, she remembered him, but by the time she went to meet him again, he was gone from the orphanage.

Where did he go? She had asked this to everyone but no one knew. He just disappeared and she didn’t even know his name. This filled her up with more hate. People always lied and their promises were a way to use others, she had started believing with time, because he never came back.

She was filled up with hate and hate only. The heart which accommodates hate, could never let any good emotions stay in it. That was what happened to her.

Forgetting all good thoughts, memories, promises…Sara only worked as a robot to get back at Lexington Family.

Sara broke out of her chain of thoughts and sighed out. It seemed like, he never really forgot her.

But…

With time, feelings and memories fade away. Sara’s feelings and memories about that one and only friend had faded away. It didn’t matter anymore.

Only present mattered. Past and Future were irrelevant.

“ Why didn’t you tell me? ” Sara narrowed down her eyes as she scoffed.

“ You are not the same anymore. I thought you didn’t remember. ” Silas smiled awkwardly.

He regretted telling this to her. Was she going to hate him because he didn’t return for the longest time?

But he had an explanation for not returning. She never told him, her name. He never asked either.

Her Grandfather Albert had kicked his father and mother out of their house because his father had gotten involved in gambling, money laundering and many crimes. Grandfather Albert vowed to never see his son’s face again. He wanted Silas to stay but his mother took him with them.

“ I think I don’t remember. I want to think that I don’t remember but I do. ” Sara voiced out her thoughts and tried to feel the hate she had felt for him when he left her, but it was not there anymore.

Perhaps, it was because he kept his promise or perhaps, it was because she understood that a promise of a child meant nothing. It could be anything.

Sara didn’t hate Silas for anything. She loved him instead. Her eyes went wide as she repeated the word in her mind.

Love. She had vowed to never love anyone but it turned out, fate had found her.

“ I don’t want to feel like this, Silas. Hating you would be a better option. ” Only the first few words were hard to choke but then, everything became easy for Sara.

It felt like she could talk about anything with Silas. It was not that hard to have a conversation. A honest conversation.

Silas knew Sara was opening to him completely. Maybe, it was his turn now to be honest with her. He was about to tell her the truth about his identity, but she interrupted him as always and after what she said, he couldn’t even breath for a moment, let alone think or talk straight.

“ I think I love you for no apparent reason. ”
