As soon as the car came to a halt, James pushed open the car door and helped Sarah out of the car after he had gotten out himself. He shut the door and waved the driver goodbye.
Standing on the pavement in front of the Grande Hotel where they had been lodged for the past couple of weeks as guests in the double apartment on the fourteenth floor.
He helped Sarah stand straight, as the cool air hit her face, she regained some consciousness and was able to walk slightly carrying and pushing her weight around.
James held her up by the waist so they could maintain a casual posture as they walked into the hotel lobby. He placed her on a sofa in the waiting area of the reception while he went to retrieve their key.
The receptionist stared from him to the lady he had just put down whose clothes were partially ripped even though he had buttoned up his coat in her to give her a certain level of decency, her ripped strap could still be seen through the coat.
"Sorry about that, she had too much to drink and we were chased by a dog" James said trying to put on a smile even though the boldness of his eyes dared her to question him further. She took the hint and nodded.
The receptionist pulled out a card after confirming their information and the fact that things had been put in place in the room while they were away.
"The maid clocked out this evening, so the apartment is ready for use, have a wonderful stay Sir" she replied and handed him the key card he was looking for.
He took the card and returned to where he had left Sarah. She had left the chair and draped herself across the center table admiring the fish which swam inside the dish bowl. This made James almost laugh at her, but he knew she had no idea what she was doing at the time.
So, helped her up and took her to where the elevator was. They had barely gotten to the elevator when she tried to walk and pull her own weight but ended up stumbling in front of him.
He held her up with one hand to her back and he used the other hand to touch the elevator button which brought it to open and they got inside.
While inside the elevator, Sarah found it quite difficult to keep her feet steady or stable. She could not figure out which was her left or right but she could figure she had legs. She giggled to herself as pulled her up.
He had realized how silly she felt but he pressed fourteen which was where their room or apartment rather was situated.
He held the key card I'm his mouth as he helped Sarah up. He unlocked the door using the key card with much difficulty, and then he pushed it open. Sarah ran from his hold and nearly stumbled on a stool that had stood in the way between her and the rest of the sitting room.
She reached out and grabbed the stool to lift herself up again but she only toppled back and fell off again, leaving the stool the way it had been after she fell.
James quickly shut the door and reached out to help her, he knew the drug was still affecting her and he wished he could have just put her in the shower and let the water wash away the effect of the drug. Instead, he lifted her and helped her walk as gently as possible to the room where he was sure she would get to sleep soundly on the bed.
He took off the coat he had used to cover her frame because she was beginning to sweat and the heater which was within the house had begun to bubble more heat.
He reached out to grab her handbag and put it in a safe place but was distracted by the sound of more toppling and falling.
Thomas rushed over to her side and picked her up. He placed her on the bed and when he reached out to move the pillows so that she could be comfortable even more, his elbow slight grazed over her chest and she looked.up.at him with a widened consciousness.
Her reaction had been expected, but he did not expect the look in her eyes after the incident. Sarah began to feel a great situation around the middle of her thighs. She could not control how she felt because the drugs Peter Causey had given her was that strong.
She would have allowed Peter to get through with her but, she did not like him at all, but James...James felt a bit different.
She reached out to grab his hand as soon as he turned his gaze from hers. James felt a need to indulge her, but he instinctively remembered what had happened the last time they both slept together when she called out Fred's name.
He shook his head at her and said, "No, you are just not yourself and I am not going to take advantage of you" he said to her but she shook her head disagreeing with him, and said, "I never said you took advantage of me" she whispered.
"You did, the last time. Do you even know who you are touching?" He asked rubbing his hand over his face as exhaustion took over him
She nodded her head and said "Yes, thank you for saving my life, James. I don't know what I would have done if you had not come at the nick of time that you did." She replied.
He watched her again as her eyes began to water with need. He knew the drugs had to be a strong drug which stimulated one so much it looked like they needed the person who was doing the deed with them, when it was just hormones in place playing out their role.
Sarah tugged on his shirt as she used his hand to lift herself. "I want you James Johnson," she said to him in a whisper.
Unable to resist the doleful look in her eyes and the way he made her feel, James obliged and made love to her and this time it was only his name she moaned out.

She asked with a livid look on her face."You can ask this fool you are married to! He attacked us first! He had the guts to insult our mother simply because she insisted that you deserve better", Theodore replied first.Sarah assessed the room again, her gaze landing on Thomas, she caught his bloodshot eyes, and the can in his hand for the second time.

He was more determined to deal with Sarah Brown for the shame and disgrace she had brought upon him."You are free to leave anytime you want, Mr. Causey, but I would suggest maximum rest, and stay away from tedious activities, especially ones that would end in a fight" the Doctor advised."You should do more formal education than sit in the practical field, Doctor Greg.

How have you been?" She asked as an interested smile spread across her full red lips, revealing pearly white teeth."I know, and I am sorry about that. I will explain things better when we see." James replied.He pressed the phone closer to his ears as he spoke. He stood outside the hotel where he was lodged with Sarah. He knew she had gone to the office, and that gave him enough time to sort something out."Well, you know where to find me, yes, I am still in the country, and yes, at Common Bank, and I am sure you are aware of that" Anna voiced into the phone."Alright, I will make my way over there as soon a

"Mr. Rizzo, what's going on?" Her voice trembled. Her heart took on a sudden tempo that made her feel something was wrong."It is nothing, Miss Brown. They are friends, don't worry." As soon as he said that, one of the men walked up to her and hit her across the face.James shuddered in his seat. It hit him strongly like a sixth sense. His eyes began to scan the room for Sarah. He was sure he had seen her there a couple of moments ago."It is an honour to be gathered here. One of the greatest events is raising leaders," the president's speech continued."What is it, Mr. Johnson? Is everything okay?" The official beside him asked."Have you seen my wife?

The silence between her screamed at her too.So, she got up from her dressing stool and walked up to him. She helped him pin the badges he had gotten before on his new uniform."I have to admit, you do look handsome in this uniform." She said with a smile.James looked into her eyes, but did not smile.

"You say that as if I am under your control or something!" Sarah said, raisin her voice at him."Control? Now you think I am trying to control you? Where do you get these ideas from??"

It is going to be good for my business and regaining my family's name and financial freedom.""And what if it is just a trap? You said it yourself, something doesn't add up about them. What they are doing does not seem right, or does it?" "I think I already clarified that doubt. Everything is fine, and with the massive turn up for the event, I will have more than hundreds of people making upfront payments to me, just so that I can handle their events." "And then?

"I know, but this, is exactly what it seems, General." James replied."The Inauguration ceremony is two days from now on, we cannot have any more problems.

James replied.Although he knew who the man had been referring to when he said Causey was working with someone who had a daughter, he still needed palpable evidence.***Sarah sat back in her office chair, savouring the light of the afternoon, as the knock sounded on her door."Come in!" She called out.The door opened and the woman who was dressed in an emerald green suit, walked in. Her eyes scouring the room in admiration."These are beautiful sets of furnitures.

"Thank you for the advice. Now, don't ever call me up if it isn't something to do with you and my daughter getting a divorce."

It was completely unlike him to just leave without speaking to her or at least letting her know he was leaving.Her phone had already been loaded with tons of messages concerning the charity event. Three people had already reached out to her organization to inform her they would be needing her services the next month."My goodness, basically every week in August is booked!

Viola asked her and Sarah nodded."I don't want you and I to have any problems, Viola. At least for business sake." Sarah responded."I completely understand. I agree totally. I wouldn't want any issues between the two of us either." Viola replied. "Anyway, I am glad you came. There is someone here who would love to meet you.""This is just to prove to you that there will be a lot of people to connect with on the main event day. Sarah, meet Brianne.

James' eyes flashed. "I knew it was you. It was the same man he had chased round the hotel. The man who had hit him and run away."You trusted the wrong people, but if you tell me everything you know now, I will make sure you get a pardon and not all charges will be knocked on you." James said to him."Tell me why I should trust you." The man said to him."Give me.one good reason why I shouldn't bust up your ass here and light it up like a Christmas tree." James retorted.

Sarah stared at Viola in consideration of what she had asked her. "How certain are you that all these people would attend?" Sarah asked her."Ask certain as I am of the fact that the darkness would cover the night sky tonight." Viola replied."Fine, I will attend the event, but only for my business sake. But I don't want to see you anywhere close to James. Are we clear?" Sarah asked.Viola rose her hands in surrender. "As you please." Sarah turned around and left. She bumped into Anna on her way heading to the elevator. It surprised Anna that she had been there, but she didn't even stop to apologize for bumping into her.Sarah put the phone to her ear and almost immediately, her assistant's voice came over the phone. "Where are you? "She asked her."Ma'am, I'm at the new office trying to set up." Her assistant responded. Sarah's face morphed into a frown. "What new office?" She asked her."I received your email this morning. Your husband said..." The girl kept quiet out of sudden con
