Ashley Walters pov

The older man who looked like Marwick except for his grey hair, was standing there in shock. He was not expecting it from me. Even I was not aware that I had that much courage.

The man had coffee droplets on his face and stains on his clothes. Coffee might not be too hot, but it had enough temperature to make his face red.

He wiped his face with his hand and looked down at his palm as if he wanted to confirm if he was dreaming or if I really threw it at him.

"What did you just do?” I heard his menacing voice and was about to throw a punch at his face when someone came close to me and picked me up off the floor like a sack.

"What the hell! Who are you? Put me down?" I screamed at the top of my lungs and started throwing punches at the back of this man who was now carrying me upstairs.

I could feel Sarah coming after me.

"Keith. Instead of taking her to her room bring her to mine,"

"KEITH!" I shouted and pinched his back, "PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THIS MINUTE, AS*HOLE! WHAT DOES THAT OLD MAN THINK OF HIMSELF!"

"I am sorry, Ashley." I heard a low apology from Keith and then landed on my feet in a room I never saw before.

I flipped my hair back and turned to Sarah haughtily, 'Those were your parents, right?"

Before she could utter anything, I spoke again, "They are no different from you, Sarah. Does bullying runs in your genes?"

"Ashley!" Keith tried to hold me, but I pushed him back.

"No, Keith. You listen to me. That man was throwing insults at me. He was calling me slang words just like his daughter had been doing all this time."

"Hey, Ash! Listen, honey," he made me sit on the edge of the bed and crouched down on the floor, "I know Sarah had been bad to you. But believe me. She has changed a lot."

I didn't hold the glass of iced water that was offered by Sarah, "I don't want water, Sarah. I want peace in my life. Ok?"

I was getting tired of being bullied and acting strong.

I didn't realize that I was crying until Sarah started wiping my face.

"Don't touch me, Sarah." I tilted away my face.

"Now you are overreacting, Ashley." Keith rose to his feet, "she is trying to make everything right for you. Ever since you went to Arguli she was hell- worried for you thinking that you are either kidnapped or lost." Keith walked to Sarah and held her hand,

"She is not that bad, Ashley. Just give her a chance. She has been fighting them for me. Ad she is willing to fight anyone for you." The sniffling of the nose told me that she was also crying.

There was silence in the room now. Until Keith decided to speak again,

"If Justin will find out about today's episode, he might kick them out of this mansion. He had been doing it when he was not even involved in you. He kicked out Helga who was the most senior maid here. He threw away Sarah. Thanks to you for bringing her back. But please give her a chance, Ashley. Don’t judge her on her past or for her parents."

Keith finished tiredly and sat beside me on the bed.

"Sarah wants to protect you, Ashley. She wants to keep you safe."

I chuckled and lifted my tear-filled eyes at him, "Keep me safe? From whom? When all this time I need protection from none other than her?"

I looked up and found Sarah shaking her head at me, joining her palms. Now, what was that supposed to mean?

"Protection from her? Why... her?" Keith’s eyebrows knitted momentarily.

"Because just like her parents she had been calling me names for the past two years. Her every letter started with the word..." I had to stop when Sarah held her tummy and leaned against the wall. She seemed to be in pain. 1

"Sarah!" I immediately stood up and went to her. She was gritting her teeth to avoid screaming.

"Honey!" Keith at once held her, "what is it? Tell me, love." He was asking her worriedly.

But instead of replying to any of us she just shook her head. Her face had gone red in controlling the pain.

"Keith. I think we need to take her to the hospital," I didn't have to repeat myself because Keith at once scooped her up and went out of the room.

I quickly followed them to the car.

"You will be all right, love. Please don't worry." Keith was consoling her while we were racing along with the stretcher.

I was back in the same hospital except for this time I was in the gynae ward. We stopped outside ICU after pushing the stretcher inside.

Keith started pacing around in the corridor and I quickly typed a short message to Justin telling him about Sarah's condition.

By now I should be tired as hell, but I was more worried about Sarah.

"Ashley Deluca?" a nurse announced after coming out in the corridor," Sarah Garner wants to see you. Please come inside."

With lots of confusion, I looked at Keith who nodded at me, encouraging me to go inside.

She was laid on the bed with her eyes squeezed shut.

"Sarah!" I whispered but she didn't open her eyes. For some odd reason, my tears were also cascading down my cheeks, "I... I am sorry, Sarah.” I tried to stop a whimper about to leave my mouth, "I should have been sensible enough not to put your life or your child's life at risk. That was quite rude on my part. I... I am sorry."

I said and pursed my lips tightly. Sarah at last opened her eyes and reached out. I quickly held her hand,
