"What happened mom?"

Sarah came out of her daze when Skyler tucked on her dress.

"Where is dad?"

He questioned.

"Is he coming?"

Sarah picked him up and hugged him tightly and he wrapped his little legs around her waist and hugged her back.

"Yes, he is fine... He is coming..."

She said, it was more like she was trying to assure herself.

No matter What's the situation between them right now, she can never imagine him being dead or seriously injured. Her heart was pounding with fear.

She tried to call him but he didn't answered neither did Ace. She waited impatiently and Skyler was falling asleep. Sarah placed him on the bed and kissed his forehead. Her eyes were already glossy thinking about the worst.

She heard car arriving and hurriedly walked outside. She took a deep breath of relief when Xavier got out of the car along with Ace.

She leaned against the wall and tried to take deep breaths to control her shaking body. He almost gave her panic attack.

It was a relief to know that he is fine.

Xavier wasn't severally injured, just few scratches here and there.

"There was no reason to save Rose, Xavier... Why did you risked your life to save her..."

Ace Scolded.

"Do you have any idea how much worried I was..."

"It was planned Ace... The blast was planned to kill Rose. When everyone was trying to run outside that girl was surrounded by double of her size and she was fighting like a tigress. It was too obvious that they wanted to stop her from escaping and intended to kill her... I had to held her otherwise she would have been dead. Believe it or not but owe this to damian. He helped Sarah when no one was there, he could have denied but he didn't... I just hope that he realize that Rose is in Danger..."

Xavier answered.

"Rose took care of my child and I couldn't leave her there to die..."

"Can't you understand that you could have died too..."

Ace countered.

"I am not afraid of death Ace, my business doesn't allow me to do that..."

He stopped when he saw Sarah leaning against the wall, she was trembling.

"Sarah?" Are you okay?"

He rushed towards her.

He patted her cheeks but she didn't respond, he understood that she is having another episode.

"Fuck, is she okay?"

Ace asked worriedly.

"She will be fine..."

Xavier lifted her up in bridal style and carried her to their bedroom.

He placed her on the bed and hugged her rubbing her back and whispering soothing words to her.

He laid her back on the bed thinking she fell asleep and went to washroom to take shower.

Sarah wasn't sleeping, she was awake.

'How can he risk his life for someone else... Is it because Damian helped me. Is he really regretting his mistakes...'

She quickly closed her eyes When she heard him coming back. Xavier slide down beside her and closed his eyes.

'Why it's bothering me so much?... Why I still care...'

She slowly scooted towards him.

Xavier wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer kissing her forehead thinking she is sleeping.

"Please get well soon Sarah... I can't see you like this"

He mumbled.

Sarah leaned against his chest seeking the warmth. They both soon fell asleep in each other's embrace.

*****

Xavier woke up in the morning and kissed her forehead as she was still sleeping but it woke her up.

Xavier walked out of the room thinking she is asleep as she didn't opened her eyes but Sarah sat up on the bed as he walked out.

This isn't first time that he is sneaking out like this, she has caught him doing it almost everyday.

Today she decided to follow him. She carefully followed him. Xavier went towards the basement.

Sarah was hesitant to follow him but decided otherwise, guards didn't stopped her.

She scrunched her nose as rusty smell hit her senses. She covered her nose with her hand and kept following him.

Xavier opened the door and entered, Sarah stood by the door and peaked inside.

Her eyes widened when he saw a man hanging to the wall and he was none other than her Father, Peter. He was unrecognisable, looking like a sag of bones.

Covered in dry blood.

"Please kill me..."

Peter's weak voice came out.

"It will be too easy for you... You destroyed Sarah's life... You destroyed my life..."

Xavier replied.

Sarah got alert after hearing that and listened to them carefully.

"I was living in hell for five five years thinking she is dead... I regret every second of my life. I couldn't protect her from you..."

He said.

"Today I'll tell you what you exactly did..."

He released Peter's hand and he fell down on the floor with whimper. Xavier sat in front of him on the metal chair.

"Do you remember that Sarah was in love with a boy in her college days..."

He asked making Peter look at him.

Sarah frowned listening his words. She doesn't remember loving someone, how Xavier knows about it? Her heart started racing thinking about it.

"You did the biggest mistake of your life Peter... Sarah was in love with me, I was that boy... I was Sarah's boyfriend, whom you wanted to kill... For me Sarah tried to Henry... She did that to Save me... You forced her to break up with me, you broke both of us... And I was hating her for that all these years, it wasn't her fault. I punished her for the thing which she never wanted to do... "

He declared and Sarah's mouth dropped on the floor.

She couldn't believe on her ears.

'Is it even possible... it means I was the girl who broke up with Xavier as Ace said... Because of me Xavier suffered... Is that why he did this to me... Was he taking revenge... But I don't remember anything. I don't remember him... William said I was in coma for two years and I remember everything before that, then where are those years where Xavier was in my life...'
