Cruel World novel Chapter 42

Sarah

Sarah was wearing a orange jumpsuit, it is called a prison uniform.

She was apparently in some white room, her hands were cuffed and she looked up and saw the cameras in all four corners, saying this room gives her creep was another thing. It was suffocating as she tries to calm herself, she has to be sane now and calm her inner war.

Her lawyer will be at any minute but she is not hopeful anything will help. It's more than a week and she still doesn't know what will happen. On the first day of her arrest, the detectives asked her questions regarding 12 dec night and Tina, she answered them the same things that she had told theo but the detectives were not satisfied as they were keen to make her accept a crime she never commits.

Next day Mark came with the assurance that he will fight for his sister and but Sarah knows Theo and Tom will use every tactic to punish her. Mark has arranged a lawyer for her Morgan who was engaged to Rome, Simon friend, with whom Sarah left on the night of 12 dec.

And now she was waiting for her...she flinched when she heard the beep sound ..the door open and Morgan came wearing a very professional look,

she smiled gently at her and said 'How are you, Sarah'

Sarah just shrugs 'I don't know'

Morgan holds her hand and said 'I know its very difficult time for you but you have to be strong...'

Sarah felt the tears and she said firmly 'I'm in this jail for more than a week, no one tells me what will happen to me... I can't see my daughter...you know she is just turned 1 and she is so attached to me and moreover, I have been forced to commit to something I never did'

Morgan replied 'I can understand but Sarah you have to understand too....they have the biggest proof that can put you in jail for good...I'm just looking at the chances that how I can save you or at least short your time in jail'

Sarah was stun 'you don't trust me...I told you everything...like from A to Z....I'm innocent...even you can ask Mark and your fiance Rome'

Morgan shakes her head 'Sarah I trust you. I never took the case if I don't believe you...and after hearing from Rome and mark and meeting you I can see you were trapped, first the video has to be checked if it is edited or fabricated in any way then if its not then your reasoning and Rome statement will be used and if all this don't work out then we have to use other tactics ...(Morgan then pause and smiled) actually, I think we should use this thing right now'

Sarah was confused and she raised her eyes 'i don't understand'

Morgan put down her pen 'Your abuse ....what you and Mark have told me...you were the victim of domestic violence there....if we raised this point then I'm positive all thing will shift towards Theo and grey family and huge possibility that judge might lessen your time punishment or with some more witness you will be proven innocent'

Sarah closed her eyes...this topic is always a sore one for her...it still hurt like hell when she talks on this...like she is going through this again 'I don't know I can keep myself compose to discuss this topic again and secondly they won't believe me well the police didn't even after seeing me scars on my back they put a blind eye'

Morgan hold her hands and said gently 'Sarah you do know they are involved, Greys are super influential. I won't give you fake assurance but I can believe in God he will help us...when I will get the order from court about the physical examination then no one have the power to prove that report wrong...secondly you have told me there was a doctor who checked you may be she can tell us something'

Sarah smiled mockingly 'you can try but she was also paid '

Morgan look at the watch 'at least we can try, my time is over but I will update you time to time'

Sarah nodes and then she remembers 'Morgan...plz it's my deepest request...can you find a way that I can see my daughter...I'm dying to see her'

Morgan looks worried 'I can see what I can do'

Theo

What the fuck! theo slammed the phone and cursed loudly.

Tom raised an eyebrow 'whats wrong now'

Theo cursed again 'whats wrong...we are fucked...doctor Linda called she told me Sarah lawyer was asking questions from her...about her scars and other domestic violence shit'

Tom drop the file he was holding 'fuck....what the hell that young lawyer want and shit Theo we should also think about it too ...obviously they would have us this thing against us'

Theo yelled 'I don't fucking care if they put me behind the bar. I'm ok because deep down I know I did a crime but I don't want tina case should be ignored like this...everyone focus will be moved towards that bitch'

Tom start moving here there and said 'Theo then what should we do'

Theo was quite for a moment 'I know what should be done now'

Sarah

The warden told her someone has come to meet her...she think it might be Mark or Rome or maybe Morgan

Sarah was walking and she was sent to empty visiting room...she saw she was alone here as no other inmates family were here...she was confused then why she was allowed to meet her visitor if today was not a visiting hour.

Sarah was told to sit an isolated table and she waited.....she doesn't know why her heartbeat was beating fast...she closes her eyes and feel her Ava was closer to her. She felt someone was on her back...she was afraid to turn back.

Theo comes into her vision and he smoothly said 'Hello darling how are you.'

sarah breath was stuck...she can't blink ..she cants even say a word...Then she saw Theo put a baby swinging/traveler chair and there she saw her life..her Ava and she was sleeping so peacefully and calmly

Sarah put a hand on her mouth and tears was falling 'Ava' she whispers

Theo wipe her tears and Sarah flinched, he cruelly smiled 'I thought you were missing her, well she was for damn sure...she was crying for whole two weeks..asking for her mama...so I brought her here today even she was sleeping but still I thought to give you a pleasant surprise'

Sarah winced when she knows her Ava was crying for two weeks.....she jumped to picked her but theo stop her and said 'tsk tsk..not now darling...if I'm doing something for you then you should also do something'

Sarah glared at him in anger 'how much cruel you can be, you have ruined my life and now you are using this innocent child'

Theo smiled in sadistic manner 'tick for tac but I'm here to make a deal, well not that you will get out but at least you can see your daughter whenever I want'

Sarah holds her breath 'what you mean...you will never make me see her?

Theo clean his shirt 'that's was the plan in the start but...since you are getting little adventures too much for my liking...so I decided this but you have to stop your lawyer about the physical examination report stuff...I'm serious Sarah if you said anything about me or my family in any manner then i will make sure you cant see Ava even in your last breathing days but I will also make sure to brainwash your daughter mind that her mother was a murderer'

Sarah can't breath...she can't believe he was saying this...oh god...how cruel he can be...how she can ever fall in love with him.

She wept 'I can't believe you... I just cant....you are a cruel bastard...a sadist'

Theo shrugs 'i can be more than that but Sarah its the best deal you have got...just confess the crime and save all of us from this mess'

Sarah said in anger 'I will not confess for something I never did'

Theo also glared her in anger 'well it doesn't even fucking matter because all the proof and evidence are against you but worry about your daughter and don't spill something against me and my family that's good for you'

Sarah cries and shakes her head ..she knows she is playing with a losing battle...she looked to him and plead him 'do you really think I did that. I have been living in one personal hell for 3 years and still, I never said something that indicates I was involved then why should I say now. Theo, believe me, I'm innocent'

Theo's eyes move away 'Sarah make a choice now' his voice was now little broken

Sarah looks down and thought about what to do in her imposible situation, she picked her head and wanter to screamed so badly. She tiredly replied 'you know in any situation I will lose in front of you so I also back out..'

Theo looks like he is himself in personal hell but he then said 'you have five minutes then I'm going'

Sarah does not wait for any longer and picked her sleeping daughter very gently and kissed her and said lovely words to her...she don't want those five minutes to be over..when the guard came to take her...she pled Thoe 'Please don't hurt her because of me...please take care of her...'

Theo

He was in the car and was rubbing his jaw with a thumb...he is more confused and disturbed after he met Sarah...fuck....his inner feeling tell him something else but he can't acknowledge it.

He saw Ava was still sleeping and was placed in kid safety seat of the car...he felt so much emotion for this child..that makes him want to cry and he don't know why....he has taken everything from Ava ..first the father love...his family support and no her mother...she is all alone..but still Sarah last words are ringing inside her ears ''Please don't hurt her because of me...plz take care of her...'

He did not say anything at that particular moment but he made a silent pact inside him will one day let Ava and Sarah move one...but after Sarah has gone through her punishment.
