Sarah brimd with fear as she took a left turn, away from the rooms in the mansion. She acknowledged the fact she had no right to step her feet in the direction she currently heads but her goal was to achieve what she wanted from where she sneaked her way to, and it helped convert her fears to intrepidity.
Successfully overshadowing her fear with bravery and encouragent, she shrugged her shoulders and scanned the environnt behind her before moving on.
This was her greatest opportunity. Logan surprisingly arranged all of his n for breakfast. He asked them to dine with him to celebrate their victory over Alfred - which was uncalled for since Alfred was put behind bars the previous day. To her, all celebrations would have been enjoyed on that day and not enjoyed as a crossover.
Well, this was Logan, the most weird person she had ever co across.
The brunette woman was also available in the dining hall and she sat beside Logan. She had a wide smile on her lips as she clicked her glass with that of the n in the room. The sight of that smile on Valeria’s lips irked Sarah and the brutal truth about everything was that Logan’s n respected her a lot.
Frustrated, Sarah paused to calm her raging heart. Her anger and jealousy were almost about to get the best of her and that was the last thing she needed at this mont because she needed to think straight.
Confident no one would co looking for her, she took her sweet ti in staying strictly silent as she slid the glass door leading to the control room open. She couldn’t thank the heavens enough for a clean environnt.
Seems Logan has to start organizing more breakfasts like this.
Three days ago, to her utmost surprise, she received the most shocking unexpected call that would be able to end her life. Receiving an ominous call while alone in her room having fantasies about Logan, she replied to the call without a second thought.
She knows no one out of Logan’s base so she assud it might be from one of his n. With that thought, she replied to the caller.
[Flashback]
"Hello," Sarah said dryly after the call was connected. She took her hands previously romancing her body with thoughts of Logan off her body and sat up decently.
She rolled her eyes when the person at the other end said no words. She felt like it was another act of disrespect from one of Logan’s n. This might be one of their new ways to downgrade her and she felt disgusted by it. If they should know, calling her and saying nothing made them look like cowards and fools - not her.
About to hang up, the voice from the other end replied, "Jenny," at the sound of that na and that voice, her hand clenching her phone trembled and she blinked in horror.
No one calls her the na, Jenny, except from a particular soone. So even if she doubts the voice, she can’t doubt that na filled with fondness.
Her heart left her ribcage and she turned pale as if she had seen a ghost or rather still, heard a ghost speaking.
"Father?" the doubt in her voice wasn’t hidden, "Are you the one? Who am I speaking with?" she almost yelled from the anxiety and fear that kicked in at the sound of that voice.
Her mind clashed with her heart and her world crumbled. Her father can’t be alive and speaking to her right now. This can’t be real.
She swore she watched her father take his last breath before her eyes. She watched him fight for life but death greedily snatched life from him and took him to the world beyond.
How co her father speaks now? Could this be so prank? If so, who would play a prank like this on her? Whoever it was should please stop because she was on the verge of running insane and staying sane beca thin.
"Speak to , who is this?" she yelled when after a while the person said nothing but only stayed quiet. Tears rolled down her eyes, "Please, who are you?" she sobbed, her body trembling.
"Jenny," the other end spoke up for the second ti, "You sound so firm now. I’ve missed you, Jenny. And yes, yes I am your father.... It’s , Jenny," the person at the other end also let out soft sobs.
Sarah froze. No words left her mouth.
"Jenny?"
Sarah choked, "How... How is this possible?" disbelief laced her voice as she asked. This can never be true, not even in her wildest dreams.
She no longer has a family, she exists all alone with no one around her. Not even Logan or his n could be said to have her back.
The person at the other end sniffed, "I_"
"I think this should be where I would step in," Sarah heard a voice from the background cutting her father off his speech and her brows tightened when she recognized who it was. Her first clenched at her sides and she almost growled at him from fury.
"Sarah," the familiar voice resounded from the other end after accepting the phone from her father, "I need a little_"
"Fucking stupid devil," Sarah spat, "Do you know what I suffered? Do you know what I fucking suffered, Mr. Adams?" she gave him no chance to explain himself and anger burned down the whole of her inside, slowly consuming her outside.
"Answer, do you know how I have to suffer because of you? You abandoned when I needed you the most." she pressed on with a growl. She sounded akin to a wounded tigress and her fingers hurt to tear soone’s flesh off.
Mr. Adams let out a low sigh. He saw this coming so he replied readily, "When you needed the most or when you were set to give out?" he asked her.
Sarah’s body was electrified from shock. Her lips trembled. She wanted to play the victim before him and Logan.
The mont she heard him speak, ans of how to kill two birds with one stone flooded her thinking and she decided to map out a plan after the call but the sudden call out from Mr. Adams was more than she could expect.
