Chapter 128
Victor McMiller's POV
I felt happy because Andrew came clean on everything. Otherwise, what should I do? How can I put one of my sons behin the bar to protect the other son? Or how can I bare it when one of my sons keeps on hurting the other?
I feel sad about Andrew, he lost his girlfriend and also Liz. He tried to blackmail me and get what he wants because he must be feeling lonely. Maybe it is Sarah who can help him get out of that loneliness. That's why I agreed to let him have her, knowing that it would break Jake's heart. At least, Jake has all of us by his side, Andrew has no one.
Though I agreed to give Andrew for adoption, it is not what I really wanted. When I started a relationship with Maya Andrew's mom, I was so naive. I haven't had an affair with a girl before that. I always focused on my studies and work. When I think about what happened back then, I think she actually seduced me. She was such a beautiful and straight forward young woman. Those days, many guys wanted to get close to her, but she didn't pay any attention to them. She thought about them as a headache. However, when it comes to me, her attitude was totally different. Even when I didn't pay much consideration towards her, she kept on coming after me... Finally, fell in love with her...
I don't still know whether she loved me too, or she just used me... My father was a successful and very famous businessman even back then. Also, he has power over most of the politicians too... She made me use my father's contact to establish her name in the film industry. Like a fool, I did whatever she asked. I was totally captivated by her.
When she said she is pregnant, I was kind of happy though I knew my dad is not going to allow this at all...I did not want go for an abortion, but she insisted that she is not ready to be a mom. So, I let her do what she likes. However, God save me from doing a terrible sin... Doctors said we are too late for an abortion. So, we had to keep the baby...Read more on FindNovel.net
Since she got pregnant, her personality started to change. She became a totally different person, or maybe that is how sh really was... She said she do not want the child. I was also bound by my family responsibilities. My dad was upset becauss Liz married Patterson, going against his wish, so I couldn't make my dad bothered anymore. Also, how can I bring up a kic all alone?
Fortunately, Liz came to my help. I had no doubt she will be an amazing mother to my son. I don't even know how it happened, but Andrew looked a lot like my sister. So no one suspected Andrew's real parents are not them.
I supported Liz and Patterson as much as I could. Patterson didn’t have many qualifications, yet I gave him a high positior in my businesses. I helped them financially a lot. I wanted both my son and my sister to stay happy and comfortable.
I knew Patterson didn't love Andrew that much, but I didn’t want to intervene in their lives and create problems... I knew I loves Andrew with her life, so I was fine with that...
After some time, I married Jeniffer, who is an amazing woman. When compare with Maya, Jenny is a real goddess... She is humble despite her profession or her family background, and she is very supportive and caring...
Since I got married to her, I never cheated on Jenny, even from my thoughts... But I was always feeling guilty about what happened in the past, I thought it is better to keep everything a secret from her...
However, most of my problems raised because I hid it, isn't it? If I could tell Jenny about Andrew, most of these problems will be solved.
However, I am scared now. I don't know who tried to kill Jake. They tried to kill him twice in a very short period. Who knov what they will try again?
I will use my full strength to find this out. Earlier I had no particular aim or suspects, but now with Andrew's confession, I have an idea what should I do. I strongly suspect Patterson is behind this, even if he is not the mastermind, he has something to do with all these. This time I will not let him escape!
The photographs Andrew said he received sometime back, we used those to track the person who was in those photos wi jake.
We could catch that person with a lot of effort.
He said he was just paid to roam near Lilly's house for a few days. Then we asked about those photographs. He said he w paid to take an interview from Jake, those photos were taken during that interview and when they were hanging out after that. Other than that, he didn’t know anything about any of those accidents.
But we could find something much important from him, that is who paid him to do these things.
Therefore, we could have some kind of a lead...
We continued our search with that, and finally, after a lot of effort, we could find a person who has some responsibility towards this.
When we found that person, I was so sure Patterson is also behind this because that person is one of his men who got suspended from my company.
After we caught him, we could question him... It was not an easy or nice task. But I strongly believe to kill the bad, you ha to be the worst.
Finally, we could get Patterson's name out from him and let the police arrest Patterson.
We also got to know that they were behind Lilly's accident and Jenny's accident as well. I wanted to kill Patterson as soon as I heard that, but with the years of experience, I knew that is not the solution to my problems. However, it was so hard 1 control Andrew after he got to know about this. I don't blame him. He has the right to act like that. But I couldn't let him in trouble. So with the help of Sarah, Luke and Shane, I could stop him doing anything stupid and make him agree to handover Patterson to the police.
I think all our problems are solving little by little...
However, I asked Andrew to take any decision. If he feels like I should tell Jake and his mom about him, I promised to do that. But he said he didn't want that... He said he didn't really want to make Jenny sad...
“My mom will never forgive me if I do so... he said finally...
Andrew's POV
I swear I would kill him if uncle Victor and others didn't stop me.
I know I am not a good person, but he... How can a person be that cruel? How a person could kill someone so innocent as my Lilly? How can he make someone so caring like Aunt Jennifer a lifetime handicapped?
However, I asked uncle Victor to let me talk to him after he got arrested. I wanted to ask him why he did all of these things... Making me promise I won't do any stupid thing, he gave me permission. But Patterson refused to talk to me.
I have no words to tell how much guilty I am. I was totally fooled by my so-called foster dad, and 1 hate other people without any reason. He didn't just kill my Lilly, he is the main reason, my mom died so soon... But for all these things I wa blaming other people...
Poor Jake... How much he had to suffer because of me? I don't even want to think about how Sarah was feeling. She has nothing to do with any of these dramas, yet she is the one who had to suffer the most... But she didn't think twice to support me in this difficult time. She tried her best to stop me from doing any stupid thing. I don’t know how she can just forget about everything I did and act like this... She is truly an angel...
Finally, I made the decision...
I need a break from all of these... I have to get away from everyone for some time... think it will help me heal the wound: in my heart...
I told my decision with my real dad, uncle Victor... He was not ready to let me go... But I insisted I need this...
He told me he would tell all the truth about me with Aunt Jenny and Jake. But I said to him I don't want that.
I have suffered a lot in my life. I thought making other people suffer would give ma relief, but it is not like that. Hating others and trying to harm them only made me miserable...
I don't hate uncle Victor as well... Maybe I do the same thing if I face the same situation. Also, if anyone wanted to abort me, it was my biological mom... Uncle Victor didn't tell me who is my real mother, I didn’t ask about that too... What is the purpose of knowing that evil woman?
However, before leaving, I had to do a few things... Begging forgiveness from everyone...
I even went to Sarah's home and met her parents. I explained everything... I told them about Jake and Sarah too... Also, I pleaded them not to make my little angel sad again...
I met both Luke and Shane and said goodbye...
Then I went to meet Sarah... I met her at the same restaurant we went for a date...
When 1 told her about my decision, to my surprise, she got really sad... I don’t know what type of girl she is... Shouldn't sh be happy to get rid of me?
“How are you going to spend time all alone, Andrew?” she worried.
“Uncle Victor got me an offer at a university there, also our company has a branch there... I will be occupied all the time, I won't feel lonely” I said.
“No matter how much work you have, when you come home at night, you will feel alone... Why can’t you just stay here?" she asked again.
“I want to spend some time alone, Sarah... I have made enough trouble for people... I want to let my heart heal at its own pace... Also... I said, looking at her beautiful eyes...
Without even knowing, I released a long sigh... I am going to miss you a hell lot, my angel...
“Also what?” she asked.
“Also, I am still not ready to see you with Jake, Sarah... I truly love you... Seeing you with someone else is not easy for me. So, I don't think I can stay here seeing both of you together every day..” I told the truth... Only God knows how much it is hard for me to leave her... I wish I meet you earlier, Sarah... Much earlier... Even before you got any feelings for Jake...
“So, you are not going to come back?” she asked with tears in her eyes...
“I will come back... When I could find someone like you to spend the rest of my life... I said...
Tears were running down from her beautiful eyes...
“Can I give you a hug before I leave?” I asked...
Without saying anything, she gave me a hug... A really long warm hug... Which is enough for a lifetime...
Now I have to say goodbye to Jake only.
jake was still in the hospital as doctors found internal bleeding... He had to go through surgery, and he was still not recovered. Doctors asked us not to make him worry about anything. So we didn't tell him anything that happened...
So, I thought of just ask him to forgive me and then leave...
I met the doctor in charge and took permission to meet Jake... He gave me permission but asked me to not make Jake tired...
As the doctor said, no one is there with Jake in the room, so I entered the room without knocking...
There was a nurse beside Jake's bed, and she turned to me as I entered the room... She got panicked as she saw me and that made her drop something which was on her hands...
I felt I have seen her somewhere, but couldn't recall... Thinking where have I seen her, my eyes traveled to the floor to see what she has dropped...
She suddenly bent down to pick it, but I saw it was a syringe...
The doctor didn't tell me there is a nurse inside. Also, she got really packed and dropped the string as she saw me...
I felt something is wrong... I ran to her, clasped her arms, and put her down screaming, “Who the hell are you?”
