Lonely Bride

SARAH’S POV

“Hello!” Our heads turn towards the door, hearing the sound.

Sam spoke, looking at us one by one. And Nathan is still standing at the door of the living room.

“Hi,” I said, getting up from my spot to give a hug to my friends.

After a quick hug to Sam and before she reciprocated, I broke and gave the same to Nathan. Yes. They both felt my distant behavior.

I am a straightforward person. What I have inside is the same as what I have outside. I cannot pretend. And no one knows better than them.

“Mom and Dad, meet my friends Sam and Nathan.” I look at my mom and introduce them.

And Sam Nathan; they are my mom, dad, and Sean’s parents. I asked Sean’s parents, looking at their confused expressions.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, ” Nathan and Sam greet them, looking uncomfortable. Maybe because they might not have expected them here. Well, I did not either, so I cannot blame them.

We all sat back here and there. Nathan and Dad bonded well, as did Sam and Mom.

They are all so busy with each other that I kind of forgot I was still here. I mean, why do people always forget me? I thought.

Mam, dinner is ready,” Shannon said, looking at me. And I came out of my dreamland of being alone.

“Thank you, Shannon. We shall be there soon.” I dismissed her and looked at others who were ready for dinner, I guess.

After having a mouth-watering dinner and my favorite fresh fruit cake, we bid goodbye and left for our rooms.

I could see Sam and Nathan badly wanting to talk to me, but I think right now I need some time before talking to them, so ignoring them, I left for my room and closed the door behind my back.

Discarding my clothes, I went straight to the shower. Sometimes water can heal everything. Your mind, your body, and your soul Changing into my nightdress, I padded to my bed. Now I just want to sleep, nothing else.

Next Day

When I woke up, I checked my mail and my messages. There was no call or message from Sean. Well, I was not expecting either, but one message will not be harmed, I guess. He could have informed me where he was going.

After getting ready, I padded down to the dining room.

One by one, everyone came. After the greeting, everyone took their seats for breakfast.

“Good morning, everyone.” In the middle of the breakfast, I heard the voice I kind of wanted to hear for almost two days.

Before I looked back to see him, I felt him extremely close to me, and I felt his soft lips.

He kissed me on the cheek in front of everyone.

My cheeks heat instantly because of his PDA.

God, this man needs to learn lots of manners. I internally rolled my eyes.

“So, did you like your surprise?” I looked at him, hearing this, and he was addressing Mom and Dad.

So that means he knew they were coming. And surprise? What surprise is he talking about? I thought about looking down at my plate.

I again look at Mom and Dad to see what a surprise he is talking about.

“Oh, my dear, it was the best surprise ever.” Mom said, looking at me.

Oh, so I am surprised!

He called them here. So they could meet me?

“I could not believe it when I saw her.” Mom cracked up, and Dad was nodding in agreement.

“I am glad you like it.” He said he looked back at me while taking a seat next to me, grabbing my half-eaten sandwich from my plate.

Like really? Can he get his own? I scoff mentally.

“By the way, where were you?” Mom asked. I was dying to know.

“Mom, I went to Florida for an important meeting. Did not Sarah tell you?” He looked back at me, knitting his eyebrow for an answer.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Like, really, dude? When did you inform me? I thought.

I give him the same confused look.

Getting my clueless look, he asked, “Didn’t Anna convey my message to you?”

Oh, so that bitch lied to me. Time to payback, bitch.

I look back at mom, wink at her, and look back at Sean. “No, she did not. I asked her about you, but she said she could not tell your whereabouts to an outsider.” I look down, as if I am hurt.

Well, I am not completely lying. She says the same. I just twisted words a little.

“What did she say?”? Sean asked, pissed by her words but still wanting confirmation from me.

“She said she is not allowed to tell anything to an outsider. When I said I was his wife, she said, wife or no wife, she would not tell me anything. She did not even do anything I asked, so I took help from Shannon. I do not have much idea how things work here. So, I asked Shannon to take responsibility for her work because she was never around.” I huff dramatically.

I looked in the corner of my eye. Mom was trying to control her giggles, keeping a napkin on her mouth, and Dad was smirking at me.

“Shannon” Sean roared.

I stared for a second at his loud voice. I mean, I expected him to be pissed, but right now he is raging like a bull.

“Yes, Master,” Shannon said, coming running.

“I want Anna in front of my eyes in a minute.” He looks like he’s giving me chills now.

Yes.” Poor Shannon stutters and runs for her life.

In less than a minute, she was standing in front of us, crossing her hand at her front, and bowing to everyone. She looked at Sean and said, “Good morning, Master,” but wished for only Sean. Wow

She was smiling at Sean as if she had won the lottery, and she gave me the same creepy look from the corner of her eyes, but I saw it.

Well, till now I was feeling bad for her, but now I am excited to see what Sean does to her.

Oh, my, she does not know what is coming her way.

Guys, bring chips and cold drinks. I asked someone mentally and laughed at my thoughts internally.

“I asked you to convey my message to Sarah. Did you do it?” Sean asked to get up from his chair. Taking two steps towards her, he stood feet away from her.

“Yes, Master, I did,” she lied in front of me without stuttering. Bloody bitch. I want to kill her right now, right here.

I know Sean trusts her to the core, and now he will doubt me. Now, how can I prove myself?
