Chapter 122
Shane's POV.
“sarah!” I shouted her name, running to the living room... I could hear her screams as soon as I got down from the car. I don't even remember how I managed to run here without falling down because I was so scared and nervous.
Andrew was in the living room, and Sarah was on his arms... She was wriggling and screaming him to stop.
“Put my sister down, you filthy monster!” I screamed. My blood was heating, and my heart rate was at maximum speed... Andrew turned around and looked at me. He looked so annoyed to see me.
“shane! Help me...” Sarah screamed again as she saw me.
“I told you, Andrew, put down my sister” 1 yelled, going towards them.
He put her down, and Sarah quickly ran towards me, holding her half-buttoned blouse to cover her chest...
Then only I clearly saw her status... She looked like a mess...
I couldn't bear it anymore... This bastard has gone too far...
Without even thinking twice, I punched his face... His lips started to bleed... God! I should have done this much earlier! “What the fu**" he cursed, holding his face...
I hold him from his shirt collar... I was furious, and at that time, I was thinking it is better to kill him and go to jail for the rest of my life.
“lam his fiance..." he said, angrily.
“Doing anything to even your fiancee without her consent is a crime!” I stated.
“I didn't try to r**e her... Can't I even lift up my fiancee?” he asked.
“No... You can't, if she said no to you." I replied.
“Don't ever come here if she is alone. Now get out..” I yelled at him and released my grip.
“How dare you talk to me like that? Don't you know who I am, and what am I capable of..” he asked.
“I am totally aware of what type of monster you are and what type of disgusting things you can do. But this is my house, and I can even kill you here and escape from the law saying I did it for self-defense. So don’t make me even consider tha option. Get out now!!!” I screamed...
“sarah... Talk some sense to your brother, or he won't be even lucky as much as Jake...” he warned Sarah and walked towards the front door. I followed him... He gave me a warning look with his blood-red eyes before he stepped out from t front door.
As soon as he left, I locked the door and hurried to the living room.
Sarah was sitting on the sofa, hiding her face between his knees... She was sobbing...
“sarah..."I sat beside her and put my arm around her... She lifted her head up and leaned on to me. She kept her head on my shoulder...
“Thank you, Shane... Thank you for coming right on time...” she whispered.
“You should thank Jake, not me. He is the one who asked me to come home as soon as possible, saying you are alone wit that crazy bastard.” I said.
She released a sigh...
“If you don't like him even touching you, why you agreed to marry him, Sarah...” I asked worriedly.
Without saying anything, she cuddled to me and stayed like that for a few seconds... I also didn't want to disturb her, so I just let her be like that.
“I want to protect my Jake, you, Luke, our parents..” she said finally, raising her head.
“You think it is Andrew behind Jake's accident? “I asked.
“I am not just thinking, it is the truth,” she said.
“What do you mean, did he threatened you with itz" I asked.
“Not directly, but yes.” she said, making me confused.
“I don't understand what you mean, Sarah... But don't you think Jake's dad will take care of Andrew's issue...” I asked.
She then chuckled...
“Jake's dad is never going to do anything about Andrew... He has promised his deceased sister to protect Andrew no matt what happened,” she said.
“What? How do you know that?” I wondered.
Then she started to spit out everything... Including everything that happened that day in the hospital.
Well... Now the missing piece of the puzzle is completed... But it was so hard to believe president McMiler can be that evil don't adore politicians usually, but Victor McMiller is like one of my heroes.
“Itis even difficult to believe, isn't itz” she asked with a light smile on her lips.
“Of course, if it wasn't you who tell me this, I won't even believe it"
“So, that's why you agreed to marry Andrew... ” I asked.
“am not actually going to marry him, Shane,” she said, making me astonished and the same time relieved.
“Then?"l asked.
“since Jake's dad is not going to take any legal actions against Andrew, I thought I must find clear evidence. Then give all them to the media and other authorities. Then even Jake's dad won't be able to help him. To get this evidence, I have to ¢ close to him."
“Jesuslll You are strong than I ever imagined... But do you understand how risky your plan is? For example, what was goins to happen today if 1 didn't come on time. Why didn’t you tell me any of these before, Sarah?” I asked.
“see, you talk about how risky this is. I knew if 1 tell you everything, you won't even let me go close to Andrew,” she replie “Well... That's true... I said thoughtfully.
How can I send my twin sister to the lion's den knowing the lion would harm her.
“I can't live without Jake... If I don't solve this Andrew's issue once and forever, I won't be able to have a happy life with Ja ever. Also, it will put all of your lives in danger. So, I w as ready to take the risk” she said.
“You know what I think, Sarah..." I said, looking to her eyes.
She looked at me, confusedly.
“You don't have to do this alone. We all can team up to help you execute your plan. That is less risky and efficient as well. said.
Sarah's POV
I couldn't even believe what I heard...
“Really... You are not going to stop me, but you are going to help me... You are amazing, Shane!” I hugged him tightly. “since you are not actually suspect that Jake cheat you, shall we call him in? That poor bugger must be boiling eggs on hi heart, staying in front of our house,” he said, after breaking the hug.
“What? Is he still in front of our house, didn't he leave?” I surprised. My Jake, are you still there, worrying about me? “Don't you know about your Jake, more than I do. How do you even think he could leave you alone with that freak. He called me as soon as he left our garden and stayed in front of our house” he said, smiling...
My heart was screaming at me to go out and find my Jake and invite him in... But my mind was telling another story.
“We can't tell him anything yet..." I said.
“Why?” Shane wondered.
“He will get really heartbroken if he gets to know the truth about his dad," I said.
“So what are you going to do?” he asked.
“After revealing Andrew's true face and put him behind the bars his dad can't ask me to leave Jake, saying it will put his li at risk. I will then see his reaction, and if he still tries to do something to break us apart, I will blackmail him with reveali his true face as well” I explained my plan.
“God! You have become one hell of a brave woman, Sarah... I have no words to say, how proud am 1?” he said, smiling. “Can we tell Luke?” then he asked.
“Yes, we can... As you said, having support is making this less risky." I replied.
“Okay... Okay... Then I will just call Jake and ask him to go, telling everything is under control” he said.
I nodded.
“Anyway, I feel so sorry for Jake. He is so helpless and miserable. I didn't even know a guy can love a girl that much... You are so lucky to have him, Sarah...Among guys like me, he is a true gem...”
“Don’t say guys like you... It was your past, now you have changed. Believe me, I am lucky not just because I have Jake in 1 life, but also I have all three of you in my life...” 1 said, kissing his cheek.
Shane and I took a conference call with Luke and explained everything.
Luke got overjoyed, and he was so excited to help us.
I shared the screenshots I took with them...
Since we three can't gather together, we decided to go through them individually.
However, before exploring the messages, I took a call to Andrew to calm him down. Without him completely trust me, we won't be able to do anything.
After talking with him for a few minutes, I could make his hear...
After that, I started with Marina's chat with Andrew...
The first set of messages was no use for me, they were just casual chats. But they clearly showed that they were close friends...
After one specific message, their casual friendship has improved to a partnership to ruin my relationship with Jake.
That message was sent by Marina...
“You know, I am going to get engaged to your brother Jacob.” it was sent a few days before Jake's dad's birthday, where th announced about Jake and Marina...
She has even mentioned that it will be announced at the birthday party.
Andrew knew what was going to happen at the birthday party, that's why he put that much effort into taking me there... After knowing that, Andrew might have called her or meet her and explained everything about me and Jake because after that from the chats she has sent, it was clear she knew everything. Also, she has agreed to help Andrew from the very beginning.
I read the message thread until I found another important message.
Marina: “Our plan worked well... He is knocked out. But I feel really bad about this, he will hate me for doing this." Andrew: “Don’t worry, dear... He won't know he was drugged. Did you take the photo.”
Marina: “Yes. I wish I could actually do that with him."
Andrew: “You can... Help me get what I want. You will get what you want."
Marina: “What about the texts?”
Andrew: “I will take care of that, I am coming early morning.”
A smile bloomed on my lips... Just as I thought, my Jake hasn't cheated on me. That was planned by them.
I kept on reading the messages...
It seems like Marina didn't know Andrew would set up this kind of a tragic accident for Jake...
“You filthy dog! If something happens to Jake, I am going to tell everyone about you!" she has even warned him.
So she is not guilty of that, but she must pay for trying to break him with me.
After Marinas message thread, I started to read Mr. McMiller's message thread. There were the only couple of messages ir that thread.
“I am not letting you see your sister!” it was a message sent by Andrew.
I think it was sent when his mother was in the hospital...
“Please... You know how much I love her!” Mr. McMiller has said.
“Of course, you should. Your sister paid for all your sins."
She paid for all your sins! What does that mean? Anyway, they haven't chat after that until Jake's accident.
As Marina, Jake's dad was also not aware of this accident.
Andrew: “Hope you are crying for your son.”
Mr. McMiller: “Andrew, he is your brother, how could you talk like this? Don't you have any sympathy?”
Andrew: “Why should I sympathize when it is me who set up that accident.”
After that text, I think Mr. McMiller had called him because their discussion was not continued. However, on the next day, that means when Jake was transferred from here, Andrew has sent another text.
“I don't want to know how, but make her leave Jacob.”
Mr.McMiller: “How can you be so cruel to your brother? *
Andrew: “What about me. Wasn't it cruel to kill my Lilly then?”
Mr. McMiller: “How many times should I tell you, I have nothing to do with Lilly's death. You know I am not that type of person.”
Andrew: “No one knows what type of person you are more than me. If you don't do what I asked, I will let everyone know what I know about you. Just imagined how happy Aunty and Jake would be to know who my real father is”
Then the message thread ended...
