Afer one year

Theo

He was dead tired and when he enters his bedroom...he decide to jump directly to bed without taking shower...he dropped his coat and shoes on the floor and walked towards his bed...he stopped in the midway when he saw a woman was laying on his bed

He walks slowly and put his hand on the women shoulder and turn her on her back...he flinched when he saw it was Sarah...who was sleeping peacefully...he was speechless...he looked at her beautiful and delicate features and winced when she opens her eyes 'Theo' she softly said

Theo closed his eyes to save her soft voice in his memory 'Sarah?' he asked in shocked

Sarah put her hands on his face ' i like the light beard look on you...it suits you'

Theo lean on her hand 'but...how...you are here?'

Sarah giggled 'and where I can be. I miss you so much'

she puts her lips on his...Theo was tense and confused as hell but he can't deny her touch ...he kissed her back and wiped his tears 'Fuck... I miss you so much...Sarah, I can't even tell you how I survived without you...those days without you were hell'

Sarah kissed his cheeks 'sshh...I'm here now...we are together now...that's what matter that most'

Theo smiled and protectively hold her 'i won't let you go...i will keep you with me all the time'

Sarah smiled vanished 'but you did let me go...you hurt me ...you hurt my AVa'

Theo shakes his head but Sarah was getting away from his hold...he tries to catch her...but she was crying badly...Theo try to run to her but he saw she was bleeding...she was looking so weak and fragile and then she falls down

Theo screamed 'SARAH'

Theo suddenly wake up from his dream and his whole body was covered in sweat and he was breathing loudly...that was a dream...just a dream...a dream he has been looking for one year...fuck ...he gets up from the bed and took a shower

He still can't fucking believe it has been one year...one fucking year where he is living like a dead person and Sarah is still in jail...he still can't understand why he sees this kind of dream every day and why he feels guilty that he did something terrible...he shook his head..he need to get out from the house now

He walked toward his room to start looking for his things but he cant finds anything...fuck if Sarah was here his things were in his hand right now....theo stop it..he scolds himself...just stop it...

He needs a fucking strong coffee...this fucking house staff know shit about his routine if Sarah was here she would have

'Fucking stop it...you don't need her she is not here and will never be here' he yelled at himself

After struggling to find his stuff he was finally ready...he decides to stop by at his father wing ...Mr grey condition is still the same but their relationship has been more restrained than previous year since Sarah has gone... Mr grey still believes Sarah is innocent even all the evidence are against her.

But being the oldest son he will always make an effort...he walks toward his father room...and he heard his mom loud voice 'You spoil brat...look what you did...where is your nanny...you really need to get punished this time'

He looked confused to whom she is talking like that when he heard a small wobbling voice 'Im sorry grandma' Theo stop and realized it was Ava's voice Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He feels protective all of a sudden why his mother is scolding her...He heard his father broken words to 'Roo...roma ...dont..dont..say to ...her'

Roma lost it 'stop favouring her she always does this shitty things'

Theo can't hear this any more and he saw his mother was looking like she will kill anyone right now and then he saw Ava small two-year-old body leaning towards Mr Grey wheelchair and she was holding her grand dada hand and her tears were falling. Theo's heart clenched when he saw her like this so scared and alone

Theo said 'whats happening and why mom are you shouting like this'

Roma turns and said 'This good for nothing drop water on my floor ...she always makes a mess... I don't know why she always comes here'

Mr Grey said 'I...I t..ttt..told her to..too be with me'

Roma shakes her head and Theo replied 'Mom you do know it can get clean...it just water...and wheres her nanny'

Roma was about to replied that Ava nanny came with the glass of milk and give to Roma ..'Im sorry Mr grey ...but Miss Ava she was complaining to be with her dada. I try to stop her but she runs away from me'

Theo said to Ava 'Ava do what your nanny and grandma say ok no more complaints'

Ava looks more scared and nodes and softly said 'Ok daddy'

Theo winced whenever she said to him daddy...like it hit him on the fact that what a shitty dad he is to her.

Ava then slowly said 'Bye dadda' Mr grey smiled at her and kissed her cheeks

Her nanny takes her and Theo can see she looked scared when she holds her nanny hand and he doesn't know why...maybe he is overanalyzing it.

Roma sighs when she is gone 'Why can't you put her in the boarding school....'

Theo rubbed his forehead 'mom we already had a discussion on this..' Theo walked towards his dad and kneel down'How are you dad'

Mr grey turn his face 'No...not ..your dad...look ...hhh..hoooow yy..you treat m..my Ava'

Theo becomes more guilty and not said anything.

When he was in the office ...he was working on his project when he saw tom coming with food..he looks at the time and does not realize it was already lunchtime

Theo said 'I didn't realize it's lunchtime'

Tom shocked his head 'because you are super workaholic brother..now leave this have some '

Theo took his pack and start eating. Tom then said 'Tomorrow is Olivia birthday so I might take hold day leave...mom has already started preparing for the party tomorrow although I told her to keep it '

Theo stops in the midway and feels sad for Ava it was also her birthday...Tom also feel the tension

'Shit dude I'm sorry I didn't mean that..I'm sorry. Ava ...of course it's her birthday too. I will make sure to bring two cakes'

Theo shakes his head in giving him a sad smile 'dont...mom will be angry let mom do anything she wants...Ava will be fine'

Tom then said 'so have you talked to a lawyer about divorce'

Theo sighs 'you know I did and if Ava was not involved Sarah and I have got the divorce easily..since her lawyer morgan already plead that custody should be given only to Sarah it makes it messy maybe after her release'

Tom raised his eyebrows 'but it will be like in 5 years....why you want to bound yourself....surely one day you will find someone to spend your life'

Theo shakes his head 'i don't think so now I'm ready to get married again...so please change the topic'

Tom nodes but still he was concerned.

After the lunch theo start working again and then his phone ring it was from PR department 'yes ' theo replied

PR officer told him 'sir we get the call from new york central prison ...it was your wife ...she was telling us she wanted to see her daughter ..if you want we can forward the call recording and you can decide what you want'

Theo was quiet for a moment...Sarah..she called...'ok transfer it'

He wited the call to be transfer...he kept his promise when he told Sarah he will let Ava meet her...but Roma think it will not him move forward like this if he still connect with Sarah so she told him that she will let Ava go and meet her but if Sarah has called his office then it can be something else

He waited then he heard Sarah voice 'Hello..this is me, Sarah... I wanted to see my daugter...tommrow it's her birthday and I want some time with her...please let meet her...its almost a year I haven't seen her...plz' she was crying and he drops the phone....fuck he still can't listen to her voice and not feel something

But theo was also confused what she meant she hasn't seen Ava more than a year.

Roma told him that every month Ava went with her nanny to meet Sarah. whats this all about.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ava

Ava look stand in the corner and see the beautiful pink color ribbons and table in the garden..she pout and think why they are here...she wanted to touch them but she was scared grandma will get angry with her again and will hurt her...she still remember when grandma hold her arm so tight that it hurts her a lot ...but she never told anyone she knows she will be punished again..

She saw he nanny coming towards her with a bad face 'hi you spoil girl..' she also holds her arm and shakes her so bad that Ava feel her arm will fall out 'the stupid girl if ever saw you ...if I lost my job because of you I will throw you from the window.' she yelled

Ava tears were falling and she scaredly replied 'sorry..plesh..you are hitting me'

The nanny was about to hit her when she saw Tom coming with some gifts she stops and changes her expression 'oh Miss Ava don't cry...you will also get the birthday...come'

Tom stop and saw what was happening 'hi whats wrong ' he softens his expression when he saw Ava.

Ava looks down and shakes her head

Tom smiled and told the nanny to take these gifts and put them inside.The nanny nodes.

Tom kneel down 'hi ..so I got this for you' he takes out the chocolate and gives it to her

Ava like uncle tom and she smiled 'Tankyou..' she shyly took the chocolate

Tom smiled too 'Its thank you but you are welcome'

Then Tom stand and saw Lisa and his toddler baby girl who was excitedly saying 'dada..dada'

Lisa smiled and Ava saw how uncle tom was happy when he picked Olivia and kissed her. Ava thought innocently that her daddy never kissed her nor he looks happy maybe he was waiting for her to call him like Olivia called uncle tom

Aunty Lisa said to uncle tom 'she was waiting for you ...she knows tomorrow is her birthday party and she kept saying dadda....dora...dada dora....like Dora doll she will get'

Uncle Tom laughed 'Hahahahah and she was right I got the biggest Dora but my princess will get that tomorrow'

Ava thought, she also like that Dora doll but she never got one...she hardly have any toys...she will tell his dada to get her one...but he can't walk ....she thought sadly.

she saw they left and she was alone. She was hungry too so she quickly opens the chocolate and eats the sweet...she eats it quickly knowing her grandma will take it to from her.

She put her red hair away from her face and she wishes she has a mama and daddy just like Olivia has, then everybody will love her.

Sarah

She screamed and she woke up from a dream that she has been seeing from many years....it was the same theo hitting her...her Ava crying ...she is dying..oh god she wiped her sweat and looked at her cell where she saw her roommate who looks little disturb from her scream

Hele said in a bored tone 'why you keep having these nightmares'

Srah shrugs 'i don't know'

Helen said 'i first thought it was the prison making you losing your shit at night ..then you lost your father I blamed on that but now I think its something else ... was you abused in your in-laws home?'

Sarah was shocked how she know about this ...it was true she lost her father 7 months ago...it was a painful moment for her...she cried a lot when she heard the news ...she was not allowed to see his body....but when she got her father apology letter ..she lost it and she cried for days but she truly forgive him.

But abuse...this word always makes her tick and makes her go back to those days when she was beaten like a rag doll.

She doesn't reply but Helen got her answer 'you know girl I was beaten by my husband he used to bring men and made me their plaything...but I become strong for my children and knows I won't make that faith for them so I killed him ...knowing I will go to prison but know my children got to live with my brother and in a good household and education..so I don't regret it or make my past to make me fall...so you better get strong...because this place is not looking for a week person '

Sarah gives her an understanding look..somehow Helen words touch her...she was right she has to be strong....she remembers she still not got the confirmation she will meet her daughter or not like a previous year...Theo broke his promise that made Sarah more angry on her.....Mark was right how she can believe him.

Tomorrow its Ava birthday and she wants to spend some time with her but Theo lied to her.

She was in her thoughts that her cell room opened and she saw the jailer with a smirk faced 'come little mice...you need to clean all the bathrooms and gym area ...alone'

Sarah stands and she still can't understand why the jailer hates her so much, she didn't do anything to her but she is sure Greys are involved in this to make her life hell.
