Bab 1863: Grief (3)

Sarah stood under the shower, allowing hot water to fall on her body and glide with the pull of gravity, hoping that it will wash away the heaviness from her heart.

She was full of conflicted emotions about Vasily, but she knew that she didn't want him dead. Punished for what he did, yes. Away from their lives, yes. Dead… no.

Sarah tried not to think about the bad things that happened to her in the past because of Vasily, and she tried harder not to think about the last month, since she became the Grand Elder of the Lebedev family, but it was hard.

It was impossible to forget that Vasily (and his men) were watching her every step since she was born. She saw him the first time (that she can remember) as a creepy neighbor King from across the hall of her penthouse apartment in Fairfield. She sold that apartment, without looking back, hoping that King will stay away, but as time passed, he became more and more prominent in her life.
