Bound To Him - Chapter 138

Blake had sent a message to Sara to meet him at his house. He had just finished everything he needed to do, and he was excited to see her.

It was night time by the time Sara was able to get to his house, and by this time, all the servants have left for the night. She was still pondering about Joaquin’s death and the downfall of the Star Light company.

She heard Blake’s car outside, so she opened the door to greet him.

“Oh baby…,” Blake said as he hugged her tightly, and she hugged him back as passionately.

Blake nuzzled her neck and felt his fatigue disappear, after a hectic day at work, coming home to Sara had melted all his stress.

She giggled as she tried to break free from his hug, “Oh Blake, come on…,” but he wasn’t ready to let go of her yet, so he lifted her in his arms.

“Heeeey..,” she said as her feet left the ground.

“Let me carry my baby,” Blake said in a doting tone. She smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck and tightened her hold. He took her to his bedroom, placed her on top of the bed, and sat next to her.

She noticed he looked very tired, and there were bags under his eyes. Placing her hand on his cheek, she asked, “Did you have too much work? You look tired.”

Blake put his hand over hers as he rubbed his face on her hand. Her hands were very small and soft compared to his big and callused hands. “Hmm… I feel so tired, there was just so much stuff to do,” he said.

She felt bad for him, he probably worked too much to maintain a very successful company, she can just imagine the amount of workload he had to finish each day.

“Take a bath, then let’s have dinner, there’s probably food downstairs,” Sara suggested.

“No, let’s stay here for a little while,” He said as he laid his head on her lap. She ran her hand through his hair, she liked how soft his hair felt in her hands. He was delighted, so he playfully started tickling her thighs.

“Stop…,” she said as she giggled, “No… that’s…,” as she continued giggling and squirming away from him. He had a huge smile on his face as he hovered on top of her, she didn’t realize they were now side to side on the bed, but she didn’t mind, she liked laying down with him.

They stared at each other smiling. “Baby, I missed you so much,” Blake said emotionally. He had missed her each minute he was far from her, it was torture because he had gotten used to seeing her all the time.

“If that’s true, then why haven’t you picked up my calls or returned my messages?” she complained because she had missed him just as much, and she sent him a ton of messages and wondered why he was avoiding her.

“I was very busy. I wanted to finish my work as soon as possible, so I can be with my baby,” he explained.

“Blake… I want to ask you something…,” she said hesitantly.

“Sure, what is it?” he noticed the sudden change in her and was on his guard.

“Joaquin is dead, and the Star Light company got exposed for all the bad stuff they’ve been doing. They’ve both harmed me in the past, and I was wondering if you have any idea who is behind their tragedy?” she asked

She felt his body stiffen, he did not want to talk about these things when they were lying in each others’ arms getting cozy.

“Let’s not worry about it right now,” Blake said sternly, which niggled at her suspicion.

She gathered up her courage and asked the thing that was bothering her, “Are you by any chance involved in it?”

His face turned sour. He got out of bed and stood near the window, so she followed him and asked him in a soft tone as she placed her hand on his arm, “Blake, please tell me the truth.”

He was in a dilemma, it was hard to say no when she asked him like this, and he did not want to lie to her. He was debating on what he should tell her, he knew that he should be honest, but he was scared that she would leave him if she learns about the truth.

His mood was getting darker. The more he thought about her leaving him, the more he got quiet. Sara was his beloved, and he didn’t want to be parted from her. Especially now that he had found her. He had plans for both of them, she was going to be his wife and the mother of his children. He was ready to do everything to make her stay.

Sara was getting impatient, wondering what was going on in his brain. Is he thinking of ways to lie to her, or is he just not going to tell her anything?

“Blake, we need to communicate and trust each other, otherwise I will just assume stuff. Do you not trust me?” she said, raising her voice.

“Let’s go downstairs and have dinner,” he said, dismissing her, she was getting mad that he won’t talk to her.

“Why are you avoiding me? Are you not interested in me anymore?” she blurted out to stop him from walking away.

He was shocked, why would she ask something like that, he wondered. “What are you trying to say?” Blake asked, “Why are you acting like this, is something wrong?”

“You keep on avoiding my questions, then you don’t answer my calls, and now you don’t want to tell me the truth. Are you seeing someone else? Another wo..woman?” she couldn’t get the words out, just the thought of him having someone else felt like a knife was stabbing her heart. Was he getting tired of her?

She did not care anymore if they were in a fake relationship, to her this relationship was real.

“Are you out of your mind?” he said angrily. Here he was getting rid of all her problems, and she was accusing him of infidelity? Does she not trust him? He was not ready to talk, so she should just understand that.

She didn’t like the tone of his voice, and she couldn’t stop the tears from falling because her heart was breaking, thinking that maybe this was where he was going to tell her their fake relationship was done and he was going to break up with her.

He saw her tears and scolded himself for being so harsh on her. “Shit!” he cursed. Once she started crying, all his anger evaporated, and all he wanted to do was to console her.

“Shh…baby please stop crying,” he said as he started wiping her tears. He gathered her close, which made her cry more, there was no stopping her now. “It’s okay, baby, I’m here, It’s okay,” he said, but because she was crying so hard, she started hiccuping.

Ever since she stayed, over he always had water on his bedside table, so he would have it ready for her. He poured her a glass, “Drink this,” he said, but she did not make an effort to take the glass from his hand, so he helped her drink, placing the glass near her lips.

Either she had run out of tears, or she was done crying because tears had stopped, and he took that opportunity to speak. “Baby, you’re the only woman in my life, I did not want to tell you where I’ve been the past few days because I didn’t want you to hate me,” his voice cracked, he was hoping she won’t end up hating him.

Sara looked at him with puffy eyes,” What do you mean hate you? That will never happen. Why don’t you just tell me what it is?” Sara asked.

He took a deep breath and decided that it was time to face the music, she trusted him with her secret when she told him what happened with Joaquin, and he did not hate her for it, he prayed to God that she would understand why he did what he did.

“I was the one behind Joaquin’s death and the downfall of the Star Light company,” he said.

She had asked the question and had speculated about it, but she was still shocked when he confirmed it, her eyebrows scrunched, and he got concerned that she hates him and regrets being with him.

“Baby, please don’t hate me, I cannot live without you. I will do anything you want except leave, please, don’t end our relationship,” he begged, he was panicking right now.

“Okay,” she replied.

“NO! YOU CAN’T LEAVE ME!” he screamed.

“Shh.. don’t scream. I said okay.

Okay, I don’t hate you.

Okay, I’m not leaving.

Okay, I want to be with you,” she rattled off and started to giggle because he was going over the top right now and she was elated that he had said he wanted to be with her.

Blake was concentrating too much on what he should do next to convince her to stay, that whatever she said didn’t register, “What?”

“Joaquin and the Star Light company got what they deserved, and I don’t blame you for anything,” she explained, smiling at him. He was very complicated and passionate about things, and this was the reason why she liked him a lot.

“Really?” Blake was pleasantly surprised.

Taking his hands, she said, “I am very glad that I have you on my side, you believed in me even when nobody else did.”

“Thank god! You don’t know how petrified I was just by the thought of you leaving me,” he said truthfully.

“Well, I don’t think you’d be that sad for very long. According to some sources, I know you never fail to have a woman by your side all the time. When one leaves, another one takes their place.” she said, baiting him. Wherever you look, he was always the topic of conversation in the news, magazines, or social media. He was always seen with a gorgeous woman. She did not like that they called him a playboy because she did not want to be just another of his playthings.

“Sara, listen, these are all fake news. You are the only woman in my life. These women all lied, they used my status to get famous. I never hooked up with any of them. I swear this is the truth,” he said, begging her to understand him.

He explained that he never really dated anyone but her, that she was the first woman he had cared for in his life aside from his mother and sister. She was very happy with what she heard, and she couldn’t help but tease him.

“Was I your first kiss?” she asked.

He did not want to admit it, but his face turned red because he remembered the way she felt when they were dancing. The way he couldn’t stop himself from kissing her and the way her taste had lingered in his lips long after she was gone.

He can’t get enough of her then, and all he could think of right now was kissing her again. There was a hunger in his eyes, and this was all the confirmation she needed.

She giggled, “You were also my first kiss, in case you wanted to know.”

He wrapped his arms around her, “You know what’s better? I will be your last kiss,” he said before he claimed her sweet lips.
