Lonely Bride

Hmm, Ivan, this is Sarah. We just met a few minutes away.” I mean, I do not know what else to say. I hope he remembers me and who I am, if he hasn’t forgotten.

“Hey, hi Sarah.” He looked equally surprised to hear me. I hope he does not find me a clingy person. I called him the moment I got his number.

“Actually, I found your ring in the grass.” He gets silence hearing me, and I heard hustle and bustle in the background. I guess he must be hearing it.

“Ahmm, do not worry. You can come and take it back if you haven’t gone far.” I said, cutting in short.

“Actually, Sarah, I must go out of town because of an emergency. Amy, do you mind keeping it safe with you till I am back?” I asked, in hesitation.

“No, of course not.” This is my phone number, and you can call me whenever you want until then. It will be with me safely. So, do not worry.” I know that sometimes something is important and close to our hearts.

“I owe you for this.” He said it with a little happiness in his voice.

“Oh, do not be. Let me know once you are back. Bye.” I spoke.

“Take care, Sarah; bye.” He hung up, and so did I.

I padded towards the car, thinking about meeting Sean.

Reaching home, I padded inside the house the moment Nathan rang the bell; the door flung open, and someone stuck to me like a leech.

I held him with the same passion as seeing him after an hour.

“How are you feeling?” He asked while still hugging me.

I saw Nathan and Sam looking at us as if some kind of drama was going on for them. I gave them the look of fucking off, and they both finally left after giving me a teasing smirk.

“I am feeling much better, dear husband, but let me see your face so that I can know how you are feeling,” I said. Because I know he might lie to me. He has taken a rest, but his face will tell the truth.

Breaking the hug, he smiled at me to die for, and his eyes were saying he hadn’t rested as much as needed.

“How many hours have you slept?” I asked, tilting my head and looking at his eyes while giving him a fake glare.

“I cannot sleep without you, but now you are here. Let us sleep for some time.” He said that, taking me in his arms.

“Cheesy, aren’t we?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.

“Yup, the yummy one. Would you like to taste some?” He asked, smirking.

“Yuck, you sick man. How come you turn everything towards the nasty side?” I asked, scrunching my nose.

“What to do, my darling? The moment I see you, only nasty thoughts come to my mind.” He said this, nuzzling my hair.

“Like?” I asked in a low voice.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Like, which is the new position I want to try while I take you next?” He whispers in my ear.

A sudden spark ran through my veins, and I wanted to feel everything he was saying.

He pressed me a little more against him, and I winced in pain with my hand, which had been plastered on his pressed body.

We both forgot that I was injured.

“Hey, I am sorry.”” He hurriedly spoke while soothingly rubbing my plaster, and I smiled at his stupid gesture as if it would make any difference in my pain because of the plaster. However, I like his gesture because, so far, no one has worried about me like this.

“I am my dear husband. Now come on, let us tuck you into the bed, or let us say tie you to the bed, because you never know when you will run back behind the work.” I said it in a teasing way.

“I will not run anywhere when I know you are around.” He said this while kissing my temple.

“I can see someone is getting romantic day by day.” I teased him again.

“Darling, I have been romantic all the time. It is just that you weren’t around to see.” He said this, and my mouth fell open upon hearing it.

What does he mean by having been romantic all the while? And with whom has he been having romance all the time?

“Before you run your horses, let me tell you there was not anyone. I was just waiting for you, keeping many romantic and nasty thoughts in my mind.” He said this while rubbing his nose against my cheek.

I tilted my head a little to see how much of the truth he was saying, but thankfully I did not find any lies, so I was at ease.

“Now come on, Mr. Romantic. I am already tired of standing here.” I said, whining.

“Yeah, baby, let us go. By the way, why are you walking? I have asked the hospital to arrange a wheelchair for you.” He said this, raising his brows.

“I know, but I do not like myself in a wheelchair, and I see I am fit enough to walk. So please now do not get mad at poor hospital people,” I said. I know his tendency to react impulsively to small things.

He huffed in defeat. “Sarah, sometimes you become too stubborn for my liking.” He grumbled.

“I know, and I believe you can ignore those sometimes,” I said, while walking toward our room.

“I will try.” He replied annoyingly, and I smiled at his cuteness.

“Sarah.” We stopped midway, hearing Nathan’s voice, and looked towards him, walking down the stairs behind Sam Tailing.

“Sarah, we need to leave tomorrow. Work is affecting our absence. Moreover, the deal we were waiting for took months. Finally, we’ve got it, and we must sign the papers as soon as possible.” He finished, giving me an apologetic look.

I look back, and Sean and I know he was hell annoyed hearing this, and somehow, I did not want to go either.

Before I said anything to him, he left the place, leaving us all alone. We all looked at his discarding back and then looked at each other and burst out laughing.

“Gosh, I never thought behind this well-built, handsome hunk there was a small, cranky child hidden,” Sam said while giggling.

I shake my head, looking at the direction he went, and look back at them.

“I will talk to him; do not worry, but Nathan, I wanted to talk to you about something,” I said while avoiding his eyes.

“I know what you want to say. Do not worry; I have already shortlisted a few offices here. I know you want to work here from now on.” He stole my words, and I smiled at him. He is the best thing that has happened to me.

“You know you are the best,” I said, squealing.

“I know that very well.” He replied cockily, and I rolled my eyes.

Well, honestly, I wanted to talk to him about something else, but this idea isn’t bad either, so I will go with it.

“When are we planning to go?” I spoke.

“Tomorrow?” He said it as if he were asking me if I was okay with it.

I nodded in agreement. I know how I have built up this empire, and I cannot let it go at all. All the hard work we have put in cannot go in vain.

“Ok, guys, I will see you later. I am tired already.” I said, while huffing.
