Cruel World novel Chapter 40

Sarah

Sarah was setting the table with tea, fruits, pastries, chicken cassoulet and Lisa favorite coffee cake. It was the order given by Roma that everything should be perfect and the whole house should be decorated with balloons and a welcome sign when they brought Lisa and her baby girl.

Sarah try hard not to remember her time when she brought Ava for the first time in the house....when there was no celebration and no one to see her daughter face...she felt those unwanted tears again and laughed at irony that today also a girl is born but she has been celebrated differently before her birth than her poor Ava who doesn't even get the chance to be aware of her relatives.

she shakes her head and remembers that Ava is still sitting in her hight roller seat and it's her evening snack time.

She saw Mrs. Brickson who was walking very slowly and she looked tired.Sarah felt so bad that she can't help her. Mrs. Brickson bones condition had made her too weak most of the time she is her room.

Sarah walked toward her and said 'Mrs. Brickson...if you are not feeling well then you can take a little rest in your room, we have other people working too here'

Mrs. Brickson shakes her head 'Im tired of all these rest and secondly I don't want to put all the workload on you too...'

Sarah give a thought and then said ' if you are ok then can you feed Ava (Sarah point her daughter who was babbling) I have to bring Mr grey down since roma and Lisa will be coming in any second'

Mrs. Brickson happily nodes and Sarah goes to Mr grey room and brought him downstairs

Mr grey looks at the house and said 'i....it..its look..looking beautiful'

Sarah smiles brightly 'I did it all... I hope they are also happy with this all'

Mr grey smiles fall and his said with broken words 'y..yyyou sho..shouldnt ..do ttt..this....the..they nn..e..neever.dd...did this when Av.Ava was born'

Sarah looks down and smiled 'it was their decision daddy..but I think I should not bring my resentment for an innocent baby who is just going to come in this mansion any soon....and she is Ava sister too and your granddaughter...so I'm doing this for you and Ava'

Mr grey raised his shaky hand and sarah hold his hand and he said 'yy...you de..deserve soooo.much'

Sarah kissed his forehead 'so do you'

Then they heard loud laughing and happy voices ...It was roma 'oh my Lisa darling thank you for this beautiful gift. I have told everyone to arrange this whole house in balloons and celebratory items that my little angel can see for the first time'

Lisa and Tom looked like proud parents and they smiled and have such love for their small bundle of joy that Lisa was holding. Sarah took Mr grey wheelchair towards them.

Roma see his husband and said 'Theodard...look at the gift our beautiful Lisa has given us...look how beautiful your granddaughter is...she got Tom eyes and Lisa hair...but all I see is my tina'

Roma took hold of the baby and make Mr grey looked at their granddaughter ...Mr grey smiled and said 'she is...so beeee...beautiful'

Sarah also tries to have a look of the baby but Roma gives her hateful glare and suddenly hols the baby and said 'You girl ...what i have told you it's done?'

Sarah replied 'yes MRS GREY'

Roma gives the baby to Tom and said 'call Theo ...he was on the phone and told him we are in the main dining room'

In the dining room. Roma was fussing Lisa and her daughter and Theo just came into the room and see how Sarah was continuously working and serving food and tea. Theo asked his father how he is...Mr grey just remove his hand and said he is OK

Theo looks down the baby and smiled 'so what we are naming this pretty girl'

Sarah saw how happy he looks and so lovingly towards his niece. She wished he can have this look for his daughter too

Roma proudly said 'im naming her after my mother and my daughter 'Olivia Tina Grey'

Theo and Tom gives a sad smile and nodes 'Its a beautiful name mom'

Theo then sit with new parents and see the decoration and celebration, he felt that it was nothing like when Ava was born at Ava time it looks like everyone was mourning...including him ...he shakes his head

Sarah makes Theo coffee and gives it to him ...Theo looked at her and said 'Thank you'

Sarah shrugs and node.

Mr grey replied 'I l...like the name too.....and it''s su..such a good day..(everyone smiled at him) Today my two... two granddaughters have born o..on ss... the same dd..day'

Everyone becomes quiet and said nothing.

Roma said then 'but today is my Olivia day and she will bring all the happiness for the house' Roma passed a hateful glare on Sarah...but Sarah shakes her head in helpless.

Sarah thought she should congratulate Tom and Lisa too, even they never said to her anything when Ava was born but it will be the wrong for her to feel jealous and resentment on their new baby girl...sarah walks towards them and said 'Congratulations to both of you... I wish all the happiness and blessing for this little baby girl of yours'

Lisa smiled reservedly and Tom who look super irritated and awkward and said 'Your welcome'

Sarah can see the baby pink face and she was looking so cute. Sarah raised her hand to caress her cheek when Roma roughly picked her hand and Tom also took her daughter from Lisa and hold her protectively

Roma put pressure on her hand so bad that Sarah winced 'How fucking dare you to put your filthy hand on my granddaughter...dont you dare to come closer or even looked at her.'

Theo stands in said in anger 'Mom leave her hand right now...she did nothing wrong' Theo removes his mom's hand

And Sarah tears were falling...and Mr grey replied in broken words 'L..leeave..her...Roma....stop it'

Roma looks super angry she looked at Tom and Lisa 'Let your daughter stay away from her...im telling you she is a bad omen for my family'

Sarah looks down and cried, how humiliating it was , then she saw Ava was crawling and was babbling 'Mama.....dolly...mama dolly'

Roma sighs 'great now this spoiled brat is here too'

Sarah gives her mother in law a hateful glare and walked towards her daughter but Ava was crawling very fast and she reached Theo leg and hold him and tug his pant 'Dada.....dada...dada ....dolly'

Thoe looks down at his daughter with so many emotions and he wanted to pick her but he cant...he looked how Ava was looking at him with so trust and smiled at him

Sarh automatically picked her daughter and said 'Come on Ava ..your dolly is in the room.. let's go '

Mr grey also said 'ta..take me too'

Roma yelled 'but Theodard...

Mr grey raised his good hand 'Stop it R...roma...'

Theo

Theo looks at his brother and said 'you look very happy today...surely you are a father now but it's something else that makes me believe me for your happiness'

Tom looks at his brother in such happiness 'You are right...mom was right my daughter is really a good luck for this family....you won't believe what news I have ....we were waiting for this news like years ago'

Theo drop his cigarette and looked at Tom with curiosity and caution too 'Whats the news'

Tom smiled 'We got what we want...Evan has found the evidence...that will put Sarah in the jail'

Theo felt someone has put bullets in his heart...he reacted in shocked 'WHAT?'

Tom laughed 'yes brother..it's true...he is coming today to our office to show us the evidence...oh my god I still can't believe it...we did it, Theo'

But theo was not happy although he wants to..but he cants..Will Sarah be gone from his life? what about Ava.

Theo replied 'What if the evidence is not right'

Tom looks intently at his brother 'Well he was quite sure what he sees and when he will show us the proof it will be good enough for us to decide...but you don't look happy with the news'

How the fuck he can be happy when his wife will be gone from his life for good.

Theo put the cigarette in his mouth and said 'You do know my life is changing, so for a moment I'm freaking out'

Tom raised an eyebrow 'you have been little protective about her nowadays and a day ago you shouted at mom to leave Sarah hand...brother I told you to be nice with her not to fall for her'

Theo said in a control but intermediating voice 'fuck.. you guys are making me insane....you know better Sarah was not hurting your daughter and mom did wrong...and at that moment I felt to support her'

Tom replied in anger 'well if I'm protective of my daughter unlike you is not my fault...and secondly I will not back out on this...listen to me carefully I will put that women behind that bar as soon as I see that evidence..and secondly it will be good for you because when she is out your mind will be out of this mess and you can live your life you want'

Theo drag his hand on his hair in frustration 'when that Evan guy will come'

"He is on his way so we should also get going" Tom replied

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In the office, Evan put the USB in theo laptop and both brothers wait what will happen. Theo can feel his heartbeat was beating at abnormal level...his whole skin was pinning ...he makes a fist of both of his hand to control that anxiety he was feeling...for an unknown reason he doesn't want anything against Sarah...he wants him to be wrong...he was internally praying. Then video played

In the video, there was loud music sound in the background.People were dancing and waitress was giving drinks, then he saw a blonde waitress who has too much makeup on her face and she was making drinks...the video was zoom on the waitress, he saw Sarah young face...she looks like a teenager here...she said something to the waitress in her ear and waitress just give her a funny look and nodes...then she gives money to the waitress and waitress look to her left and right and put that money in her breast pocket and went inside a sliding door.

he saw Sarah was waiting for someone...then that waitress came and he gives something to Sarah in an orange mug and put a fucking pill inside it ...a fucking pill...Sarah gives her smile...like she is succeeded at what she wanted and she took the mug and went directly to her sister Tina and said something and give it to her...Tina drink that whole and Sarah was gone

Theo felt that anger that he has subsided inside himself a long time ago and it revives again at a bigger level. He wanted to really kill that bitch ..so slowly and so brutally...why she did that why.

Evan closed took the USB and said 'I have made contact with the waitress too she is ready to give her statement to the court ....but I think this video proves enough that Sarah was involved. since she gives the money to the waitress and rests you have seen'

Tom said to Theo 'Then we should not wait anymore it's time for sarah to pay for her sins'

Theo shakes his head 'No'

Tom sighs 'Theo I told you I give a damn... I will put her behind the bar with or without your support'

Theo stands and straightens his suit 'Im saying not today...but tomorrow we are calling Sarah family...Mr. Black should know how and who was involved in Tina death'

Tom gives a strange look then he smiled in understanding 'that will be fantastic'

Theo took out his cigarette and put it in his mouth and cruel smile 'one night Sarah you have one night to sleep peacefully then you will be gone'.
