AUTHOR'S POV
Deliriously, Sara ran across the table and approached Grandfather Magnus, as tears started to stream down her perfectly painted face. Everyone's shocked eyes followed her movement. There was only Silas who was watching all of that with a frown, that screamed his disagreement with this family's damned ways.
Coming near him, Sara dropped down to her knees without any hesitation and bowed her down sniffling. She could let go of Lexington's Villa, but not Lexington Corporation. She had to inherit that company at any cost. She would pay any price and give any sacrifice, but she would never give up.
Feeling humiliated, Sara slid closer to Grandfather Magnus's leg and grabbed his feet with both hands. Tears fell down on his perfectly polished black shoe, but she did not care “ Please forgive me, Grandfather! ” Gulping down the lump in her throat, Sara barely forced the words out of her mouth.
“ You shouldn't have whored around if you were going to regret it later. ” The poisonous words of Grandmother Eloise burnt her heart to the core, but she did not back down.
Raising her head, Sara stared at Grandfather Magnus, silently pleading him to give her another chance. “ P-Please, Grandfather. Please give me another chance. ” Feeling her heart tearing apart, Sara begged him stripping herself off any dignity she was left with.
“ Silas! Take you wife away. ” Staring at Sara for a brief moment, Grandfather Magnus commanded Silas, who appeared behind her, faster than anything in this world.
When his strong hands touched Sara's shoulder, she jolted up and sneaked herself closer to Grandfather Magnus “ Please. Please, Grandfather. I swear - I swear I will never disappoint you again. ” She grabbed Grandfather Magnus's cold hand, that he pulled away with a jerk feeling disgusted by her. His expressions told her how much he really despised her, but she did not care
.
“ Get up. Don't embarrass me further, Sara! ” Grandfather Magnus had a heart of stone, Sara was sure of it now. Tears kept falling out of her eyes and the ache in her heart intensified hundred folds.
The headache she was having made black dots appear in her sight, but she was not ready to lose courage just yet “ Ple- ” She started to plead again, when her vision blacked out completely and her body went limp.
Before her head could hit the floor hard, Silas held her up and glanced at Grandfather Magnus, who pursed his lips at her unconscious figure. A nerve in Silas's jaw ticked, but instead of saying something or doing anything, he picked her up in bridal style to carry her away from there.
“ Such a drama queen! I bet she is pretending to be unconscious to make Grandfather feel bad for her. ” When everyone was taking their fair share of entertainment how could Ryan - The fuckboy fall behind?
“ Enough! Eat your dinner! And Silas. ” Grandfather Magnus sneered and Silence fell over everyone once again.
“ Take her to the house that I got for both of you. ” Ordering Silas, Grandfather Magnus picked up the wine glass to take a sip leisurely.
Gritting his teeth, Silas nodded smoothly and started walking away with Sara's limp body in his arms.
The only person feeling bad for her was Sara's own father - Henry Lexington . But as always, he was silent as a dead person. All he ever did was hang his head low and clench his hands into fists. That's all he was truly capable of doing for her.
Carrying her in his arms, Silas glanced at her face and observed her tear stained cheeks and swollen eyes. She was not that strong like she always pretended to be. She was just putting up a show in front of people. A mask of coldness to hide her true self. Shaking his head in disappointment, he stepped out of the hall to be stopped by the driver.
“ Young Master. I will escort you to the new house. ” The driver called out to Silas and opened the door of the backseat for him.
Silas gave the driver a once over look. He noticed how he was giving Silas a look of irritation and distaste. He could recognize the disdain in his voice too, but he still kept his mouth shut. He had to pay a price to stay a part of this family anyway.
Nothing came without a prize in this world.
“ Like what you see? ” His mocking voice fell in Sara's ears and she shook her head. Narrowing her eyes, she smirked and looked him up and down again. “ There is nothing special to see! ”
' Sara will not be a director of Lexington Corporation anymore. She doesn't need to come to the office now ' Grandfather's words suddenly resonated in her mind and her eyes went wide.
Pushing herself off the bed, she hysterically ran to the door but Silas grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Sara's body collided with his and she glanced up at him.
“ Leave me. ” Hissing, Sara pulled her wrist back from his hold, before taking a step back.
Raising his arms up, Silas smiled and Sara threw him a suspicious look “ I know you want to rush to your Grandfather but it's 2 in the middle of the night. Going to him at this time, is not a wise decision. ”
Sara gulped down her saliva as tears threatened to fall once again. She could not give up on her goal after enduring all the shit for her whole life.
“ It's all your fault! Don't even dare to try thinking of yourself as my husband. ” Sara raised her trembling finger and pointed at Silas, who pulled his arms down with a killer smile still plastered over his lips.
A gasp left Sara's lips when the smile on his face fell and he grabbed her wrists to pull her closer again. His hands rested on her waist and his eyes held hers captive, when their bodies came near.
“ But... ” Whispering in a soft voice, Silas leaned down to be parallel to her ear.
“ I am your husband. ” Husking sensually, Silas placed his hot lips on her cold neck and she instantly felt her legs turning to jelly, with her heart starting to beat faster.
