Bound To Him - Chapter 132

The next day Blake had to go back to his office because he had something to take care of. He had left a few of his secret security details to take care of Sara just to make sure she was safe, who knows what Joaquin is up to.

Sara had to stay to complete the shoot that was cut short the day before.

Blake had a few meetings lined, and as soon as he was done with them he called Dimitri.

Someone screaming for help can be heard in the background, Dimitri must be in his killing cell, torturing somebody.

“I need you to find me information about Joaquin, the king of Cadiz,” Blake got to the point.

“Joaquin… hmm… he’s a snake in the rose garden, always fooling people about his true nature,” Dimitri said.

Being the ruler of the underworld, he knew about all the influential people in the world, businessmen, kings, politicians, and scholars, everyone was close to Dimitri.

He knows about all their dark secrets. People looking into their lives see them as perfect, but each and every one of them had a dark secret. Dmitri knows all their secrets, but he never reveals anything until they strike first.

“Give me all the information about him, I want to destroy him,” Blake said, clenching his teeth.

“Wow! What did he do to offend you?” Dimitri asked curiously. He was ready to help Blake, but he wanted to know the real reason behind his outburst.

“I just don’t like his face,” Blake snapped. Dimitri let out a laugh. This was so amusing to him. Blake rarely lost his cool, and this was new to him.

“Hmm… looks like something is happening here,” Dimitri said, teasingly. He knew that if it was about business, then Blake would have directly told him.

“Hmmm… this sounds like this is a woman problem. When Tristan started liking Ava, he had also asked him for help,” Dmitri thought, so he voiced it out, “Is this about a woman?” he asked teasingly.

“Yes, so?” Blake said straightforwardly. He had fallen in love with Sara, and there is no more reason to deny it. He was proud to tell everyone that Sara was his woman.

“Wow! I thought you would deny it, but you just agreed so easily,” Dimitri chuckled.

In the background, someone’s fingernails were being removed. His cries echoed, begging them to kill him, but they were having fun torturing him. So it would be a while before they put him out of his misery.

“Who is your woman?” Dimitri wanted to know.

“Sara Wesley,” Blake smiled while saying her name.

“Isn’t she Ava’s sister?” Dimitri asked, frowning. He remembered seeing Sara at Tristan’s wedding.

“Yes, the one and only,” Blake agreed.

“First Tristan and then you…. You both had your eyes set out for the Wesley sisters,” Dimitri said, recalling Tristan running away every time he heard the word marriage, yet he got married a few months after meeting Ava.

The women will never stand a chance once the Aristocratic heirs have their hearts set on them. They would romance their women endlessly until they say yes.

All the heirs were in their early thirties, and a year ago, all of them were unattached, and most of them didn’t date because they were focused on their careers, but now it seems 2 of them found the love of their lives.

“Tell me what happened, how did Joaquin manage to piss you off,” Dimitri said in a business-like manner.

So Blake recounted everything that Sara had told him and what happened the day before when he tried to kill Sara.

“This poor guy won’t know what hit him. He should have just let your woman go,” Dimitri said sternly.

“I want to end him before he tries to harm my Sara again,” Blake said coldly.

“Don’t worry, let me get to work, and I’ll let you know,” Dimitri said.

He checked his phone to see if Sara had left him any messages, he texted her, knowing that she was probably still busy with the shoot, that’s why she hasn’t texted him.

“What are you doing? Did you have your lunch?” and just in time, Sara had just gotten into her trailer and was removing her makeup when her phone dinged.

She eagerly opened it when she saw it was from Blake, “The shoot just ended. I’m going to have my lunch soon,” she texted back.

“When are you coming back?” he asked.

“Tomorrow morning, why do you ask?” Sara replied.

“Come back soon. I’ll be waiting for you,” he wanted to show her how he felt.

She was surprised for a second when she saw his message, “I wonder why he texted me that? I wonder if he really meant it or it’s just something he says?” she asked herself, blushing because she remembered waking up in Blake’s arms this morning and it felt good. He was more attentive to her needs, and it felt like he cared a lot. If he keeps on treating her like this, then she would surely fall in love with him, or maybe she had already fallen in love.

She was not sure which one, but she knows that he makes her heart flutter whenever he does small things for her. It still scares her to fully invest in their relationship because she was not sure how Blake feels.

“I’ll be there as soon as I can,” she texted, not wanting to wait another day. She asked her assistant if there were any flights available that evening but sadly, they were all full, and Sara had to wait the next day before she could leave.

In the morning, Blake had called her saying that he was flying out of the country because of some work emergency. She was disappointed but said she would just see him when he came back.

He noticed that her voice seemed dull when he told her he was leaving, so he promised her that he would make it up to her when he came back.

So as soon as Sara got back, she started coming into the office and working out, not wanting to be idle because she knew that she would start to miss Blake if she had nothing to do.

“Sara, your previous assignments are taking off so well. Look at these news articles and sales reports from the products you have endorsed,” the manager said, sharing the news when Sara came in to see her.

She was glad that people were welcoming her into the industry. The hate comments did not overpower the good comments, this time around, and hopefully, they will eventually disappear.

She had no idea how much effort Blake was putting behind the scenes just to clear her name.

“I’m so happy, I never expected this,” she said, thinking that the scandal will forever be attached to her name and ruin her.

Since she had been with the Anderson company, her face was back in the magazines and the billboards.

“Sara, it’s very rare to get a second chance. You must make use of it,” the manager said. In the modeling industry, your looks alone won’t get your work, if an agency dumps you, that usually signals the end of your career no matter how gorgeous you are.

She knew she was lucky to get a second chance, and she will make sure that time, she will make it last.

“There are a few projects that need to be finished right away, so I’m going to schedule back to back shoots, but don’t worry I will schedule enough time for you to rest before and after.

You have to be focused on your career, just put your personal life on hold for now, remember you are becoming famous again, and this time they are more aware and focused on what you are doing, what you are wearing, and how you are behaving,” the manager said.

“Don’t worry, I will keep everything in mind,” Sara said.

The same evening she had a PR event she needed to attend, and she was on her way to select her dress.

The models can choose what they want to wear in this big huge room that carries all the designer dresses in the world. Sponsors and designers often send their dresses here for the models to wear during galas, award shows, and special events.

They had tailors on stand by if a dress needs altering, and makeup artists to style the models for the night. This was one of their biggest PR events, and they wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

Nothing was really catching Sara’s eye until she saw this dark green off shoulder lace top with long sleeves and a satin ballgown skirt. She tried to pull it towards her when she noticed somebody had their hand on it as well.

She saw Emily when she looked up to see the owner of the hand. They both laughed when they said hi at the same time.

“Take the dress!” they both said in unison, pushing the dress towards each other, making them laugh again.

“No, you touched it first, so it’s yours,” Emily said. She was really well mannered when she talked, and her movements were like that of a dancer, very graceful.

“But …,” Sara argued but was cut off. “I have already selected the dress I’m wearing, I just wanted to check this one out,” Emily said, pointing to the silver and maroon dress she had draped on the sofa behind her.

“Oh okay, I’ll take this dress then,” Sara smiled as she took the dress.

Emily was brought up abroad, but since she wanted to pursue her career in modeling, so she came back to her home country. Her parents and siblings were still abroad.

After going through the wardrobe change and makeup application, Sara was ready to promote her most recent product.

All the reporters were very cautious during the interview, they knew that the last time some of them were rude, they were all fired. She was satisfied that this time around, her interview went well.

After the event, she decided she wanted to wear her dress home, just because she felt very pretty in it. She was surprised that somebody was waiting for her at the parking lot.

She wondered how long he had been waiting for her. He was leaning on her car dressed so handsomely in his suit, and to top that, he had a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

She could hear her heart beating loudly, and couldn’t explain this giddy feeling as she took very careful hurried steps toward Blake.
