Chapter 55

Rowan was too shocked to react. He found the woman to be his mom, Natasha…

Michael : Natasha, what are you doing in this dress? You said you are going home.

Natasha : i… I was go…going to…

She was cut off by sapphire.

Sapphire : then what were you doing in granny's room that when you entered from the back door?

Natasha : I was checking on her before going back home.

Sapphire : but you can check on her from the front door, why back door?

She questioned her like an officer…

Natasha tried to hide something in her hand, but sapphire clutched her hand tightly.

Natasha : hey you gold digger. How dare you touch my hand.

Rowan : she is not a gold digger. She is my wife.

Sapphire heart fluttered with his words and her lips broke into a beautiful smile. She got happy that finally he is accepting her as his wife. Finally, she will be happy.

Michael sat down with a thud, looking at everything, as he couldn't believe that Natasha was here like that.

Michael : Nat… Natasha, what are you doing inside mom's room?

Natasha : i… I…

Emily : she was there to kill granny. I overheard her conversation with someone.

Rowan : ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? He shouted and slapped Emily hard on the face.

Natasha : what are you doing? Leave my daughter alone.

Rowan : she is not only your daughter but my sister also, and I am entitled to her.

Natasha : no, she is not your real sister. You are her step-brother. She screamed at him while he looked at her puzzled.

Rowan : WHA… What did you say?

Michael : nothing, son, she is just mad…

Emily : I am your sister, and you have every right on me.

Rowan : dad, what was mom saying??

Michael sighs, as now it was of no use to lie again. “ She is not your real mother. Your mother can't be a heartless witch. Your mother died while giving birth to you, so I married this woman to give you a mother's love and happiness, but I never knew she was a witch who only wanted my money. I gave her money to keep her mouth shut. I knew it that you are very sensitive that's why I was hiding it from you but not anymore. She is not your mother. "

Emily : she was the one who was trying to kill granny and sapphire one year ago when they went to Liam's wedding ceremony.

Everyone was shocked and rowan was hurt, the woman whom he loved from childhood was not his real mother but step one, and she loved money more than him.

At that time only inspectors arrived and asked them“ who called us? ".

Emily : it was me officer to arrest this woman, she tried to kill my granny and Mrs. Hudson.

She cried and turned around, couldn't see her mother being dragged by an officer to jail. She cried and hugged her father.

Sapphire couldn't say anything else as the officer dragged her away. Rowan looked here and there, likes a wild animal with red eyes. Sapphire was about to touch him when he shoved past her and was going out of the hospital,“ rowan… Listen to me… "

Rowan ignored her and moved out of the hospital, while sapphire looked at Emily and papa, who was crying hysterically.

Emily : I am here. You just go with him, he needs you. He loses his temper when he is angry. Just go.

Sapphire nodded and ran after rowan, who was trying to start his car. Sapphire sat beside him in the passenger seat, and rowan grit his teeth.

Neither he looked at her nor gave any reply…

Sapphire : rowan, where are you going? Listen to me just once…

Rowan : get the hell out of my car, sapphire NOW. He shouted at her in extreme anger.

Sapphire : no, you are not well. I can't let you be alone. You can't go like that, please listen to me.

He just roared the engine and screamed,“ then stay here ".

He starts driving at full speed, ignoring her protests. Sapphire held her seat belt tightly and was closing her eyes at this much high speed, as she couldn't bear this much speed now.

Sapphire : what are you doing, rowan? Please slow down your speed. I can't handle this much. You will smash the car if you don't slow down.

Rowan was deaf to her pleadings, as he was only driving rashly and wiping his tears repeatedly. After one hour of ride, they came out of the city and stopped near a hill.

Sapphire held her head and tried to calm herself down, while rowan came out of the car and shut the door with a thud. He started walking towards the edge of the hill, unmindful, and sapphire ran after him. She shook him while he stopped there. “ What are you doing here, rowan? Are you mad? What if something happens to you? ".

He was still going near the end when sapphire started punching him to make him calm, but he was not getting affected by him. When he came to the edge, he got his senses back and pulled her towards himself, moving away from the edge.

He looked at her, whose face was red with crying for him, while his face was pale with dry tears on his cheek. He looked so broken, so vulnerable, that she cried with him.

After coming back to his senses, Rowan looked around and then at sapphire…

Rowan : what?

Sapphire : to hell with your what? What if you fell down the edge? Don't you care about me? What if something happened to you, how would I live without you?

Rowan looked at her with an exhausted expression and said“ just go away from here. Leave me alone. You can never understand my state of mind, sapphire. What am I going through, you won't understand? “.

Sapphire : I won't understand? Are you in your senses? You have your dad, but what about me, I don't have that? I have no one. Did you forget that I lost my mother before my marriage? I marry you because of her, not on my wish. Don't say that I don't understand. “ She screamed at him with frustration.

Rowan looked at her with a shocked expression and asked emotionlessly,“ you… You married me because of your mother?”.

Sapphire : now come on. Leave that we will go home, then we will talk there. Your health is more important than this. You are not good.

Rowan : no, first you have to finish your sentence that you married me because of your mother.

Sapphire : yes, you warned me still I married you because my mother wanted me to. It was her last wish for me to marry you. She is my mother, rowan, How could I deny her?

She said sadly and looked down.

Rowan just breaks down and starts crying. He hugged her stomach while sitting on his knees. He was crying for her as well as remembering his behavior with her.

Rowan : I apologize for always doing bad with you, sapphire. I am sorry, please forgive me. I apologize for never understanding you. Furthermore, I am sorry that I never understood you when you lost your mother. Likewise, I can't even imagine how you tolerate everything. I apologize for my every wrongdoing, rabbit. Please just forgive me ".

He begged her like she begged him in the first days of their marriage. Now both are feeling the same pain. She can't watch him like this, so weak and so broken in front of her. She just cried with her husband. Furthermore, she caressed his head and placed kisses on his head while rubbing his back. “ Just leave all of them. Forget about everything, rowan".
