A Girl Nobody Wanted
Chapter 117

Shane's POV

I called Luke and explained to him the current situation. He got furious after hearing everything.

"That bastard!!! He took the shot at the right time. He must go to hell..." he cursed.

"Anyway, we knew he is a monster. What I can't understand is why Sarah acts this way. She knows how much Jake loves her. Jake can never cheat on her. I know him for all my life so I can guarantee that." he said.

"That's what I can't also understand too. Sarah is worried about our parents, that is one reason she agreed to this, but this thing about Jake, I can't even believe she thinks this way." I said.

"There must be something we don't know," Luke said thoughtfully.

"Of course. That is what I also felt. We need to replace out what is that reason." I said.

"Yes... We should. I can't let Jake get heartbroken. I will talk to Sarah and try to talk some sense into her. Indeed she has to go through a lot, and Jake did hide so many things from her. But she should know Jake can never do something like this." "Yes... Even I am fully confident Jake didn't do something like this. I don't know why she doesn't get it." I said worriedly.

"Hmmm... Jake has sacrificed a lot for her, she doesn't even know some of them. Anyway, Shane, if your sister breaks my Jake's heart, I won't let her live happily." Luke said firmly.

The way he said, "My Jake," made me shocked. He didn't sound like he talks about his best friend, but it was more like he was talking about his lover... What the hell am I thinking? I am imagining things... They are more than friends, everyone knows that. So it is normal for Luke to talk like this.

Anyway, what Luke said was fair... Even after everything Jake and Sarah went through, if she can't still trust in her love, she shouldn't be forgiven...

Sarah's POV

***********

Knowing that Marina and Andrew planned everything together since the very beginning made me furious. How nicely they have executed their plan? They both are geniuses. Marina is worst than Andrew. At least Andrew is open with most of the things he does, but Marina... She pretended to be a good friend and betrayed both Jake and me. Sometimes I even feel I should kill both of them and kill myself after that, I was that furious...

I doubt even Mr.McMiller knew about their plan. But it is hard to think that a father would ever let his son's life in danger for any reason. However, even if he didn't know about their plan from the beginning, now he has also become a part of this to remove me from his son's life. He surely knows nothing about his only son. Otherwise, he won't even think to separate me from Jake's life.

Anyway, no matter what I feel from inside, I have to be strong, and emotionless this time. I have to make them pay for what they did to my Jake and me.

Shane was extremely pissed off with me, actually not just with me but with mom and dad too. He didn't even try to hide his disappointment towards us. Shane even stopped eating with us. But from time to time, ignoring his feelings, he tried to talk some sense to me. I actually felt bad about him. He became a totally new person and started to treat me like a loving brother, but now I have become the worst sister he can ever have. I know he really worries about Jake and me, but what can I do. How can I let you know my true intentions?

One day when I was going upstairs to my room, Shane stopped me. He was coming down from the stair, and he just put his phone in the pocket after a call.

"It was Luke," he said, without me asking anything.

I gave him a don't care look. He released a long sigh...

"Don't you even want to know about Jake's condition?" he asked worriedly.

What can I say, Shane? I can't even breathe without thinking about his condition. There is no single hour left without me praying for his recovery. I got Marina promised to me to send me a text when Jake gets out of the coma situation. So I am waiting for that text from day to night.

"His father got him the best doctors, and he is in the best facilities, so he will recover soon..." I said casually.

"Seriously, Sarah... Can you think lightly like that?" he asked again.

"For the whole time, I was in an affair with Jake, he had only hidden things from me and given me false hope. I tolerate everything because I love him so much, but after this, I can't bear this anymore. I am also a human. There is a limit I can do." I said firmly. God! How hard it is to lie. I don't know how some people always lie like it is nothing.

"But Sarah, don't you think you should give him a chance to explain. He started to talk. I knew that I can't listen to him without crying, so I interrupted him.

"Enough Shane... I don't want to listen to anything he said. I don't want more lies." I said and pushing him away, I went up the stairs.

As soon as I got into my room, I fell on to my bed and wept...

That was just one day, but every day was pretty the same... I couldn't take anything Shane tried to tell me. So most of the time, I ignored him.

Luke called me multiple times and tried to make my heart and change my decision. I could imagine how he must feel about all these. Though he loves Jake with his life, he never tried to break us apart or do anything to ruin our affair. Instead, he always was our guardian angel. I know that he made his heart thinking about Jake's happiness. So now, when I am going to marry Jake's biggest enemy and put him in lifetime suffering, Luke can't take it anymore. He is really pissed off with me, and as Shane, he also didn't try to hide it. Almost all the calls I had with him ended with him scolding me or we both yelling at each other. But he didn't give up, he kept on calling me every day. I can't even understand his love for Jake... If this thing happens to someone else, he would be over the moon because the person he loves becomes single again, and he can have a chance with him now. But Luke's love for Jake is so selfless and knows no limits...

However, when both Shane and Luke are angry with me, my parents started to treat me so well. For them, I was like a princess now. Andrew sent two maids to our house. There was no enough work in our small home for two maids, but Andrew insisted we should have them. Anyway, mom even started to bring my morning tea to my room despite having two maids. Also, I got a better bedroom for myself. I was surprised by how much people can change in front of money and power. Earlier, I was just an unfortunate b***h to my mom, but now, I am the luckiest daughter any mom could have.

Anyway, when all these things happen like this, Andrew was getting ready for the engagement. We didn't have anything to do from our side. Well, my parents had a job. They were fighting with each other and preparing the guest list. Andrew has given them the freedom to invite any number of guests they want. God knows how many guests they are going to invite. They are going to turn this to a fu**ing feast.

I wanted to tell them I don't want a big celebration, but I thought it is better to let them have their way. I need them to believe me completely.

However, the engagement day also came. I woke up a bit late because I was up all night going through my memories of Jake... The texts he sent me. The few photos we took with each other. Gifts he gave me. Even that small sticky note he left for me saying, "Drink and smile."

I was crying like crazy going through all these memories. We didn't get much time to spend with each other like other couples, but we have created so many beautiful memories enough for the lifetime... It is so hard to make up my mind to engage with someone else, no matter the reason I am doing it.

When Jake had to do that fake engagement thing with Marina, this must be how he also felt. Those days I thought I am the one who is suffering mostly because I have to see them getting engaged. But it is not true. Making the person you love unhappy, even for a fake engagement makes you miserable and helpless than you can even imagine...

I don't know how Jake will react when he gets to know this. My poor baby... How are you going to handle this? I wish I could get what I wanted from Andrew as soon as possible and make everything correct for us even before you get out of coma... But my wish is not going to get fulfilled...

As soon as I read the text on my phone, I fell on to the floor, crying... Well... Crying for happiness...

Marina has sent me a text.

"Jake is out of the coma. He is recovered."

My prayers finally got answered. My baby is recovered. I wish I can run to him right now and hide in those strong arms... God! I am ready to do anything if someone lets me get my favorite smell of him just for once...

I was crying like crazy... Why God! Why you made life so cruel for us? What wrong have we done? Why can't I be with my baby in a moment like this? How happy will he be to see me?

I heard a loud bang on my door.

"Sarah!!!" Shane's voice raised from the other side.

Wiping out tears and making my voice straight, I talked.

"Why?"

"Jake is out of the coma." he was so excited.

Thank God, I got to know that earlier. Otherwise, I will lose it in front of Shane...

"Good. Thank you for letting me know." I said casually.

"What the fu**, Sarah... Stop this bullshit... He is conscious now. Ask him... Let him explain. Doesn't he deserve that much for everything he did for you?" he asked angrily.

No, my brother... He doesn't deserve that little... He deserves everything for the love and care he gave me when there is no one for me.

"I told you, Shane... I don't want any explanation. I have made my decision. I am happy he is recovered, other than that I have nothing to do with him. So mind your own business..." I said harshly. I don't know how I could speak like that. I think this is the first time I talked to Shane that bitterly. Even in those days, when he treated me like a piece of s**t, I didn't talk to him like this.

I heard him releasing a long sigh, and then he left.

I return to crying my eyes out...

There is one thing that remains constant in my life, that is tears in my eyes. I think I have an eternal bond with tears... Letting out all my frustration, I cried, lying down on the floor.

I stood up after some time as my phone starts to ring. When I saw the caller ID, my heart stopped.

Jake...

My fingers were itching to swipe the screen and answer his call... But that will make the situation worst. I don't think I can handle talking with him right now. If I talk with him, I will meltdown, and everything I have planned for will go in vain.

When I didn't answer, he called me again... He was calling me back to back... Luke must have told him everything. Why, Luke? Why did you tell him this soon? What if he gets sick again?

"Please answer the phone." he sent me a text.

God! I am willing to get stabbed right now than going through this pain.

He was sending me many texts and calls... I couldn't take it anymore. I switched off the phone...

Forgive me, my love... This is for us... For a happy and safe future for us...

I took a wash and changed cloth. I had to go to the dress designer for the final check of my dress. Andrew insisted me to have this dress, so I had to go for it.

When I come down, Luke was in the living room. He was in a call. As soon as I saw him, I turned around to go back to my room. I was not in a steady mood to talk with him.

But he screamed at me.

"Sarah, stop..."

"Please, give him a chance to explain... There is no harm in giving just one chance..." he said.

I got really frustrated... Why can't he just leave me alone? Why he makes me want to kill my self?

"Shane, what part of 'I don't need any explanation from him' you didn't understand. He hid everything from me since the beginning. Since I am a poor girl, he thought he can do anything he wants and come back to me. He thought, even if he fu**ed another woman, that is okay because he is doing me a favor by loving me. " I screamed... I don't even know how those words came to my mind. I promise in front of all the gods, I have never felt like this. I just wanted to end Shane's nonstop whining.

"Sarah..." Shane screamed.

The meantime...

"Princess..." when Jake's sad voice raised from where Shane was standing, I was astonished.

He had his phone loudspeakers on, and it was my Jake on the other side.

"Is that the way you really think about me?" Jake's worried voice raised again.

I don't know enough words to explain what I felt right then. God!!! Please kill me!!! Please kill me!!! I can't answer him!!!

Even hearing his voice made me lose all the barriers I had set around me.
