Cruel World

Chap 53

Theo

Why he is acting so weird, he needs to stop doing that as it's making Sarah weird too.

After dinner he came outside the balcony for a smoke....he left Sarah and Ava in the living room so they can have some alone time...and he feels little hurt when Sarah gets really excited to spend some alone time with Ava without him...but he won't blame her...he has totally broken all the connection of love, trust and even concept of civility between them.

He took the deep puff of the cigarette...god he really need this....he never know when he becomes addicted to smoking all he remembers after that teenage incident he had ...he turns into a different person and then cigarette become the working mechanism that made him forget that dark part....he shake his head he won't go there.

He won't....not now...he might one day have to talk to the psychologist but not now he can't go there.

By psychologist he remembers he has to arrange a one for Sarah too as the doctor has also told him that Sarah needs to talk to someone too...he will find first thing in the morning.

When he was done with his smoking ...he came inside and went directly to Ava room...he then saw the two most beautiful women in his life...he saw Sarah was softly singing the lullaby to Ava while dragging her hand in Ava red hair.....Ava was sleeping deep

Theo crosses his arm and smiled looking at both of them. He cursed himself how he tries to destroy this bond between them and how much pain he had given them. Tina death was a shocking moment of his life but knowing Sarah was innocent all this time was the father of all shock and it completely changes his life... he remorseful looked to them and then Sarah suddenly turn and saw him standing ...she becomes tense like she is waiting for him to do something....it was always a sucker punch in his guts when she reacts to him like that

But he gave her a smile and said 'it took me hours to make her fall asleep and you have no idea how much I have to bribe her (he shakes his head with a smile in his face) then this little miss fall asleep but you had a magic wand to make her sleep so fast'

Sarah looks down at Ava and has so much love and affection in her smile that made Theo fall in love with Sarah more.

Sarah quietly said 'maybe all time we have miss makes her bond with me in another way.....but she kept on asking about you too.....she loves you very much' Sarah said with an emotional tone

Theo nodes in guilt and said 'im sorry you lost so much time without her but no more...she is our daughter....and she doesn't love me more only she loves you too .....when you were in the hospital she asked daily about you....(Theo kneel down in the bed and said ) Sarah don't ever think that I will use Ava innocent love in my advantage I never do that ...especially to you'

Sarah looks down and replied in a sobbing voice 'but you did take advantage of my love....my trust my...' Sarah looks away and wiped her tears

Theo felt someone put a bullet in his heart,the painful manner in which Sarah said to him totally broke his heart....she is so right he did take advantage of her love and then make Sarah pawn in his twisted sadistic plans.

Theo holds Sarah's hands and made her stand from the bed...Sarah flinched but Theo shakes his head 'Sarah look at me... I know I'm a bastard to do that with your love...those pure feeling for me that you hold but I was indifferent state of mind...I'm not making excuse for myself but that's the truth and I'm so sorry what I did but I'm looking forward to every day to give you so many smiles so much love that you start trusting me. I know you won't believe me but I love Ava and I love you so much 'he whispered and kissed her forehead.

Sarah was quite and stand still and replied 'I'm tired I need to sleep'

Theo nodes 'come we will go together'

When they reached their room...Theo was keenly looking at her ....he just wants her to be comfortable and relax.

He then took out her medicines 'before sleep you need to eat this...these are some vitamin course that you have to have daily'

He made her sit down on the bed and bring some water for her and then give the medicine to her

Theo then kneels down and take off her shoes ...that made Sarah winced in shocked 'what are you doing' she said in disbelieve

Theo know why she reacted like that because the moment he took off her shoes he remember those days when he used to make Sarah do all these stuff like giving water to him whenever he came back from office and then ordering her to take off his shoes...these were his way to degrade her and now it disgusts him

But now all he wants to pamper Sarah made her feel comfortable and know she holds the power towards his heart ... he shrugs and normally replied 'nothing.Just taking off my wife shoes...you need to loosen up a little 'he winks to her that made Sarah mouth open in shocked but she automatically stable her expressions.

Theo then gently put Sarah feet on the bed and made her lie down then go to his side and lie down.

Sarah sits automatically 'you are sleeping here?'

confusion 'yeah where would I

can't sleep here

but that will make him worried about Sarah that he leave her alone that he doesn't want to

do anything to you plz, believe me, I won't even touch you but if it makes you feel good and I will sleep on the

quilt and put that above her breast and softly said 'I... I can sleep

lips 'shh ... I will sleep down its final and

her plump lips and god how much he wanted to kiss that...he can feel his body reacting after a year but then he remembers he made

it will make Sarah uncomfortable and scared which is

by Sarah so many times...he arrange them and lie down but he saw how Sarah looks so tense and

Sarah...just relax and sleep well and if you need anything

felt the tear the how much she use to feel so tired and uncomfortable in this mattress especially after the day she had been gone to torture and endless work tasks and then at night she had to deal with the bastard like him...the

looks above the ceiling...and doubt himself that a person like him never deserve a chance then

Sarah

even survives so peacefully...yes she had no trouble here....everyone was acting so concern and caring towards her
