Chapter 21

SARA POV

*** **** ** ***

She kept looking at the river as she sat on a big rock looking at the water like there was something special about it.

Her dad had left home since that incidence and since then her mother had been in tears thinking about her sister, before leaving the house her Dad had strictly warned them never to go to Luca's house in search of Alvira or he will making live a living hell.

She just couldn't think of anything to save her sister knowing Luca's house was well secured and it won't be easy escaping with her sister.

" Sara"

She heard her name and turned to see who was calling her but wasn't allowed to twist her neck before she was gripped tightly.

The two hands covering her mouth tightly.

Her attacker have her upraised hand another shake and Sara gouged her nails deeper into her skin, when that earned her a smothered curse and a painful jerk on her arm.

She took a cue as she bent to bite the hand that held her.

" Hey !"

Still half bent, Sara felt herself sideways, her captor released his grip, but before she could bolt, his arm whipped around her waist.

A half seemed later. she thudded back into the solid rock. her breath slammed out of her lungs.

The band around her middle cut off the possibility of pulling back. she kicked back with all her strength, hitting the man's chin.

" Oh, please.... I" lifting her off her feet. her attacker grunted in her ear." calm down, I won't hurt you, I promise."

" Really, you liar. let go of me!".

" Please, I what will let go of you if only you're calmed, please".

Sara calmed. her ribs felt as though they'd threaded right through one another and squeezed out everything in between.

Red spots danced before her eyes and for the simple reason that she couldn't do anything else.

She drew great gulps of air into her starve lungs. luckily, the excruciating pressure on her waist eased as the sound of another curse battered at her ears.

They were followed by a wheezy whine. when the spots in front of her eyes cleared she turned to face a belligerent male.

For the first time, she saw the man's face. it was hard as the rest of his long, lean body, Sara thought shakily.

The sun had weathered his skin, white lines fanned the corners of his eyes.

They showed whiskey golden lashes the same dark brown as his shirt, straight hair and luxuriant mustache.

His mustache?

Sara whipped her gaze down his solid form. Beneath the brown cotton shirt and tan jacket, his jeans molded trim hips and tight, corded thighs.

She made the connection with a rush of relief.

It was Harry, Alvira's childhood boyfriend.

But why did he scare her like that?

She knows he love to play pranks but he shouldn't have played such pranks with her now.

She's not in good mood for that now especially now she got lot of things running over her head which she's trying to sort out.

Harry gave Sara a narrow- eyed once over." sorry about the little dangerous prank I played on you. Are you all right?".

Did she hear him right?

He called that little?

That annoyed her more.

Did he just say the little dangerous prank he played on her?

That wasn't little dangerous prank, it Was an expensive prank that jolted her heart like its going to explode.

" Am sorry" Harry apologize.

" Be quiet !"

Harry almost jumped at her sharp command and he kept quiet. swinging his attention to Sara, Harry Lovelace studied her with an intentness that raised little goosebumps on her arms.

She couldn't remember the last time a man looked at her like this as though he wanted not just to see her.

In fact she couldn't remember the last time any man ever looked at her like that.

Harry certainly didn't, he was too considerate, too polite to make someone feel all prickly by such sanitary.

" I was coming to swim when I saw you sitting, you looked so lost?.

" Yeah am lost, so lost and maybe I could forever be lost if I didn't get answer to my thought or probably a solution.

Sara explained sitting back on the hard rock as she could see Harry sit down beside her from the corner of her eyes.

Beside the rock was big and could contain three people so she had no difficulty allowing him sit beside her.

She shivered again, she knows Harry didn't know his lover was already married off.

He had travelled to visit his god parents when her sister got married.

.What if he asks after her?

What was she going to say?

She would surely have to tell him the truth but she can't bare to see the pains in his eyes especially when she has a feeling for him.

Not really feeling maybe crush!

yes!

she has always crush on him !

Those golem brown eyes lasered into her." why do you seem so lost even while am talking to you, you're still lost".

" Nothing to be bothered about, you're looking so good. your god parent really took great care of you".

He was silent for a moment. then countered with a question of his own. " what makes you think so?".

" The thigh hugging jeans" she said with a tentative smile. " and the mustache" she added silently. " You really look so good, that's why I said that".

Belatedly, Harry recalled the question he wanted to ask which skipped his mind. " What of Alvira, is she okay?. I was worries when I didn't see her for three days since I came back, I couldn't come to check on her at home knowing fully well your dad was around".

Sara kept mute.

She understand the reason why he didn't come home to check for her sister especially after the embarrassment he got from her father when he has visited.

It was a sad experience that would be enough for him to avoid visiting. Her father had ordered his guards to beat him up and throw him out on the street.

" You aren't saying anything" Harry asked wryly after a long period of silence wondering what kept her mute as he tried to hide the fear growing inside him.

" She is married" she bolted out, hiding the shinning tears in a corner of her eyes.
