Chapter 127
Sarah's POV “Because this is uncle Victor's elder son,” Luke said, keep on looking at Andrew's face... What? Is what I heard the truth? How can that happen? How can Andrew be the son of Mr. McMiller, then who is his mom? “Let's go there, I will tell you everything.” then Luke said, still looking at Andrew. Andrew didn't say anything. He was so calm... All four of us went to a corner. Then Luke explained everything he got to know from Mr. McMiller. Andrew didn't interrupt Luke even for once. He was just looking away emotionlessly. However, after Luke ends his explanation, my heart was aching for Andrew. I thought I have the worst destiny, but what I had experienced when compared to him. Though my parents didn't treat me right, they sacrificed so much for me, and especially they didn’t give up on me. But his biological parents... They chose to let him go because they value their professions, their social statuses more than him. “You still think he is not responsible for what happened to Jake?” Luke asked. “Yes, I think so..." I replied, looking at Andrew. I was 95% sure Andrew has nothing to do with Jake's accidents. “Don’t be silly, Sarah... If it is not him, who is then? I think he wants to kill Jake, so he can become the heir to all the wealt of uncle Victor.” Luke was not ready to trust Andrew at all... Andrew didn't even try to say anything against Luke... “I don't think so... Luke, what we need to do right now is use our full strength to find out who is really behind all these. "I said firmly. “Are you sure about what you are saying?” Luke then asked. “Of course... Don't forget, not just Jake, but Jake's mom and Lilly, all of them faced terrible accidents. I feel there must be the same person behind all these..." I said thoughtfully. All three of them looked at me with surprise... “We don't have much time, guys... Who knows what that person will try to do next. Let's hurry up. Luke, you can go to Jake dad with Andrew and explain to him everything. He is the president. He will surely be able to find everything. ” I said. “Do you think uncle victor didn't try to find information until now?” Luke asked. “Until now, we all thought it is Andrew, so we didn't try to find out more about these accidents. Even with Mr. McMiller, thi must be the reason why he didn't try to find more. I said. “Also, now Andrew is here to help us," I said, looking at Andrew. He has never agreed to help us, and I know how ridiculou it sounds. But my inner instincts were telling me that he is ready to help us now. Both Luke and Shane looked at Andrew. Andrew looked at me and nodded his head slightly. I think God has answered my prayers... Andrew is entering the way to become a good person, isn't he? Andrew's POV What caused me to change this much, you must be wondering. Well... Even I don't know exactly. Earlier today, Jake came to meet me. I was surprised to see him at my doorstep. “I didn't come to fight with you, please let me in," he said, as soon as I opened the door. After what has happened in the canteen, I was furious with him, but I let him in. I sat on the sofa, and he sat in front of me. “Andrew, I don't really know why you hate me this much. I don't know if is it because you think I am behind Lilly's s accident or is it because of Sarah,” he said. Both of them and many other reasons, brother... I thought, but I didn't turn them to words... “Andrew, believe me, I have nothing to do with Lilly's accident. Just think what I can gain from killing her.” Of course, you have everything... Everything I ever need, so what else you wanted. You just wanted to destroy my happiness... “Since we were young, I always tried my best to support you with everything you do, didn’t I? Don't you remember how many times 1 took the responsibility of things you did, just to save you from getting beaten from uncle Patterson? When y wanted to keep your affair with Lilly a secret, didn't I help you do it?” he asked. His words actually brought me to the past. The past I had totally forgotten after Lilly's death. My dad was very strict since I can remember. He never let me do anything I love. I think he hated me as much as mom lov me... When I was young, he used to beat me even for a small thing. So, most of the time, Jake took the responsibility of all the mischievous things we did as kids. Even when I started my affair with Lilly, I wanted to keep it a secret from dad because I was afraid of how he would react. Even then, Jake is the one who helped me. I loved Jake just as my own brother, I was also ready to do anything for him. Those days, I didn't know why dad hated me that much. But later on, dad told me everything about my biological parents He told me how they tried to kill me when I was in my mom's womb. He told me how they chose their professions, their family’s pride over me. If it wasn't for my mom, I mean the mom who brought me up with so much love, I would be ended up in some orphanage. Since then, I started to hate all of them, except my mom, Liz. I started to feel jealous about Jake for everything he has in his life that I also should have. I feel jealous for all the moments I have observed how much our dad loves Jake. I envy about times when he introduces Jake as his own son in front of everyone, while my dad totally neglects me. Making the situation worst, Lilly died. After that, I became a totally different person... Jake didn't know any of these, he thought I changed because of Lilly's death. So he tried a lot to be with me and make up my mind, though I keep on avoiding and hurting him. “Don’t you remember any of those, Andrew?” Jake asked again since I was silent. “You didn’t come here to make me remind those things, do you?” 1 asked, hiding the fact that I got emotional... “I came here to ask you why you hate me. I promise I have nothing to with Lilly's death. But if you hate me this much because of Sarah, please understand, I haven't done anything wrong there too. I started to love her a few years back, she also the same. We have started our relationship even before you first saw her. So tell me what I have done to make you angry?” he asked. What can I say? He is right. They were in love when I first come to the university. Actually, it is me who came between ther “Please, Andrew... I am begging you... I can give you anything I have, but not Sarah... I can forget about my happiness, but her happiness lies within me. She will never be able to be happy if I am not with her” he said in a pleading voice. I know that, Jake. I know her happiness is base on you. But she will learn to find her happiness in me after we get marriec “I know her more than you do, Andrew. She is not someone who changes her feelings. If you marry her, she will stay with you but as an emotionless corpse. I can't see her like that, Andrew. I love her so much. She is my life. I can give you anything else I have. 1 will not even think twice to give you all the wealth I am going to inherit, but please don't take Sara away from me. * “What do you think of me? Do you think I value money over her? "I yelled at him. “No, I didn't mean it like that. I know you love Sarah too... That's why I am asking you this. Please don't put her in a lifetin misery... I am begging you, Andrew... One day you told me, I would have to come to you on my knees, well 1 am coming to you on my knee now... Take anything you want from me, but give me my Sarah back.” he falls into his knees in front of m and pleaded. I have never seen him this helpless. I know he loves her, but this much... Jake is someone who highly values his pride. I couldn't even believe he went on his knees for his love... I started to feel guilty. Therefore to hide that, I chased him out of my house... He begged me multiple times, but I didn't listen... However, after he left, my mind was filled with all the memories I had with him since I was young... I couldn't get rid of ths guilty feeling... Then I got a call from one of my men that Jake has been shot. I couldn't understand what to do. I was extremely nervous. What if something happens to his life? I pretended like I was responsible for his accident, so everyone will suspect me fo this as well... I don't really know who is trying to kill him, but now it has become serious than I imagined... Sarah also came to meet me at that time. As I thought, she suspected me for shooting Jake. I tried to tell her that I have nothing to do with that, but she was not ready to listen. She, who strongly refused to have s*x with me until we get maried, started to unbutton her blouse while shouting at me take anything I want, and leave her beloved Jake alone. No need to tell how much I would love to see her naked. How much I have imagined her like that in my dreams. But at th time, I didn’t feel any [**t at all. I didn't even want to look at her half-naked breasts. I was ashamed of myself. She was ready to do anything, sacrifice anything, even her dignity and freedom for her love... Earlier, Jake was ready to sacrifice anything for Sarah, and now she is ready to sacrifice anything to protect Jake... This selfless love of them reminds me of my sweet Lilly... I will sacrifice anything if 1 can get her back, won't I? I got super emotional at this moment, and that made me confess everything with Sarah... I think that is the same reason why I am here in front of my biological father to save my half brother Jake... I would refer to my biological father as uncle Victor because that is what I familiar with. Luke explained to uncle Victor that I am not responsible for any of the things that happened to Jake. The relieved look or uncle Victor's face after hearing that was hard to miss... However, after then, the most critical problem we had was to think of possible suspects. “Maybe there is a connection with Lilly's accident and Aunt Jeniffer’s accident to these incidents” Luke said. Uncle Victor fell into thoughts after hearing that. “I tried to find information on those accidents, but I couldn't find anything.” then he said. “Andrew, why you thought Jake and uncle victor has something to do with Lilly's accident?” then Luke asked. “Well.." I said, trying to recall everything... “I got a letter nearly a month before the accident, an anonymous letter. It said Jake and uncle Victor is going to make me cry shortly. Other than that, there was no information. I didn't care about that much. But after a few days, I got another letter. A few photographs were also included. Jake was there in those photographs with another man. The letter said I should remember the guy with Jake.” “Like two-three days after I got the letter, Lilly accidentally saw those photos on my reading table, and she asked who is that. I explained to her what has happened. Then she said she thinks this man has been near her house. We got concerne after that and tried to be careful, but I couldn't protect her... “I said. “50 you thought, actually they are behind the accidents because of those letters?” Luke asked. I started to think again with his words... Then I remembered something. Actually, it is strange how I didn't think hard abot this before. “According to the situation I was in, I believed that but more than the letters it was dad who put that thought into my mir He made me believe that,” I said...
