Enough is Enough

Sarah(Jefferson)Thorne

THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.

SEBASTIAN: "What about her, Alex, why should I waste more of my precious time for her? I told you that she was nothing but trouble."(He raised his hand just as Alex was about to talk)"Enough, Alex, besides I have more important matters to attend to. Besides you are here as it is to wipe her crocodile tears."

He chuckles sarcastically as Alexander glares at him.

ANGELA:(Kissing his cheek)"Nobody is holding you back now, brother. Go & enjoy yourself, say hello to Courtney for me."

Sebastian winks at his sister before walking out, Angela was simply beaming at her brother's good mood. Turning back she scowls seeing her husband's face of disapproval.

ANGELA:(Snaps)"What!? Why are you looking at me like that?"

TYLER:(Shakes his head)"You really either acting completely clueless or you knew that this would happen, again. Sebastian should be with Sarah right now because...!"

ANGELA:(Grits her jaw)"So what? She brought this on herself. If only she had listened to me & signed those papers, none of this would have happened."

ALEXANDER: "Um, excuse me, what papers?"

Angela simply shrugs while Tyler's face turns pale. Grimacing, as he sees Alexander give him a questioning look.

TYLER:(Rubs his neck)"Um, its nothing, bud, nothing at all."

ALEXANDER: "Uh, uh, don't leave me hanging, Ty, which papers was she referring to?"

ALEXANDER'S P.O.V.

Alarm bells, that is exactly what is going through my brain. Before I could ask him more I hear my Dad's loud voice.

DAD: "Calm down, how do you expect me to calm down, woman? This man here says that the little girl was pregnant. Can you believe it? Hah!"

I mentally cringed knowing the reason behind the old man's outburst. Truth be told he didn't exactly warm up to Sarah yet, he did like Natalie because our parents were in good terms. They died in an accident after a month of her death. They had received the news of her death quite late. At that time she was staying in the city with her Mom's distant relative. I've met the guy once, he was a pretty decent guy but a bit eccentric. Before I could run a background check on him the fiasco took place. I was devastated because I really liked Natalie Williams but Angela had her own doubts. After that Sebastian had changed, turning from a optimistic guy to a cold, ruthless man. I do miss the past him at times but at times though. My thoughts got cut off as I felt a hard jab in my ribs. OUCH! Glaring at the culprit, Garrett Brown, who simply smirks at me. Hearing a cough I look at Chelsea who was looking at me sheepishly. Then my Dad who was glowering at me with his posture stiff as a board. Oh boy, I'm a dead man now!

DAD:(Grumbling)"Well? Answer me, boy?"(I simply purse my lips, avoiding his gaze)"You know I don't like to repeat myself, Alexander Kennedy Thorne."

I wince everytime he says my full name in that tone, he hardly uses it on Sebastian or Angela.

TYLER:(Whispers)"He wants to know about Sarah's pregnancy...!"

ALEXANDER:(Snaps)"I got the message, bro, no need to repeat it."(Huffs, rubbing my neck)"Yes, Dad, I knew about her pregnancy."

In the corner of my eye I see Angela's face turning pale as she stares at me with an open-mouth.

DAD:(Frowns)"You did? But for how long...?"

ANGELA: "I...it doesn't matter, Daddy, it means that she was nothing but a w***e. Sebastian found about her slutty ways...!"

DAD:(Sternly)"Watch your tone, young lady, I was asking your brother."(Softening his tone)"Well, son, since you've known then how long was she?"

Angela was chewing her lips which clearly indicates that she knew about this, but how?

ALEXANDER: "About 5 weeks long, sir, Tyler & Garrett were also present there. I was with her the last time while Sebastian was in China. I remember we didn't use protection that time."

The look on Chelsea's face was sad while Dad had a grim look on his face. The doctor standing next to him was fidgeting a bit. Taking a deep shuddering breath, for I knew that the disaster had happened, f**king hell.

DAD:(Placing his hand on my shoulder)"I believe you, my boy, I would've been proud to know about being a grandfather. A boy or a girl, it doesn't matter now."

Looking at Tyler whose eyes were getting misty & Garrett was trying to hold his posture. I know that they found her in a horrific condition. My legs were unable to hold my weight as I sat at the nearest chair.

ALEXANDER: "You couldn't save the baby, Dr. Morris?"

DR. MORRIS:(Sighing heavily)"I'm afraid not, Mr. Thorne. We were too late to save the foetus even though it was 5 weeks old. But we managed to stabilize your wife. So we can only keep her under observation for 24 hours."

Groaning, holding my head between my hands, mentally cursing my idiotic brother. I felt the familiar pairs of arms around me. Tyler, my best friend & brother-in-law, Garrett was running his fingers through my hair. They knew how I was looking forward of being a Dad. Hell, I had already thought of names for the baby, Veronica, if it was a girl. For a boy, either Xavier or Oscar. The wind knocks out of me as Dad asks me the dreadful question.

DAD: "But didn't Sebastian know about this child?"

THREE MONTHS LATER>>>

SEBASTIAN'S P.O.V.

Finally, after finalizing the deal with the Sheikh in Dubai about finances, I was heading back to home, Washington D.C. On my way home in my private jet, after a little romp with the new air-hostess, I was feeling relaxed. Alexander was still giving me the cold-shoulder because of that little minx. But Garrett had been keeping me informed about Sarah's present condition. Not that I cared though, she had woken up after being in the coma for a month. Both Alex & Tyler have been taking 'care' of her. Angela didn't like it & neither did I as she had told me that it was nearly impossible to get her to sign the divorce papers. I wince at the memory about how Alexander reacted about it. He had blasted my eardrums out about not liking my decision. Jesus Christ. My brother hardly looses his temper like that, he's never had any not after puberty hit him hard. He even strictly lectured me not to burden 'our little wife' about this. Not until she has fully recovered from her shock. I haven't been home for the past 3 months, I had left for Dubai after leaving the hospital that day. Taking the British model named Courtney Evans with me for short while. After the deal I stayed there for a week & bought a few gifts for family as requested by my baby sister. I also decided to buy a small token for Angela, it describes about motherhood. Alexander & I love kids so does Tyler & since they both have been married for 5 years. Garrett is gay, he came out to us first when he was 12. In the beginning he was a player, he prefers twinks yet slightly built ones. Until his eyes locked on this Half British & Half French man named Lukas Benji. Alex & Tyler took an instant liking to him. To me he was an annoying prick, he was bisexual, kept flirting with Angela & Sarah. As for Sarah, well, the divorce papers ought to be it. I'm sure I can convince my brother to sign it & be done with it. I wasn't actually planning to do have any with that woman anyhow. It was tempting at first but not after what happened this past few weeks, I still don't trust her. Angela was right that Sarah is expendable & besides I had my 'fun' with her. Next is Gina Smith, she had opened a boutique which were rivals of Angela's own. According to Angela, to bring her down they have been copying her designs. George Riley was the culprit so we nagged him by shutting down both his & Gina's businesses. Gina was Spanish, she was from a rich family but were not powerful like the Thornes. Within an hour we reached the airport, bidding farewell to the crew. There by the limo I saw Garrett waving at me making me frown. Usually it was always Alexander who picks me up no matter what, this was the first.

GARRETT:(Hugs me firmly)"Man, good to see you back, big guy. Whoa, look at you, did you loose some weight? No worries we know many ways to fatten you up."

Rolling my eyes, I lightly hit him at the back of his head. He gives me his boyish grin as he opens the door. Soon we were heading home, part of me feels good to be back yet I couldn't help but feel as if something big is coming up.

SEBASTIAN: "So, how is everything going on?"

GARRETT:(Pursing his lips)"Ah, you know, same old, same old. Nothing much."

SEBASTIAN: "Whats that supposed to mean? Nah, if you say one more word about that little b***h, I'm going to smack you. I'm done with her shenanigans, she had her chance. As soon as she recovers she can do whatever."

GARRETT:(Scoffing)"What the hell do you mean by whatever? Seb, where will she go? She hasn't got a home to go to, by the way the credit mostly goes to you. Alex is still pissed when you added that Sarah shall receive no alimony?"

SEBASTIAN:(Smirks)"Precisely, so don't even think about making me change my mind. Don't worry about Alex, Harmony & I shall convince him."

GARRETT:(Snorts)"Good luck with that, bud, if Sebastian Thorne is a stubborn asshole so he is your brother."

Whatever, I know I can get through Alexander like always. Even though my brother has attachment issues, after that Sandra chick he hadn't been involved with anyone else.

THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.

Angela, who had been pacing about back & forth, wringing her hands. She was on edge these days precisely ever since Sarah came back from the hospital. Both her husband & brother have been pampering her. Even her Dad was beginning to soften up to the girl. Although Sarah, who seemed physically okay but mentally she was scattered about. Alexander was the only one who was allowed to hold her hand. Gradually, she began to communicate with Tyler & Garrett even Lukas. Chelsea often comes over to visit & gives medication to her. Whenever Angela come near her she would flinch then begins to hyperventilate. Alex would hug her in his arms whispers something softly in her ears. Within a few moments her breathing even out, then she collapses against him. She was shifted to the ground floor's guest room & Alexander stays with her. It was particularly irksome for Angela because it seems that all her plannings to throw that tramp out seems futile for now. Sebastian was her only hope, as she sees the car rolling in. Squealing as she practically jumps into her older brother's arms. Sebastian laughs as he holds her as Garret simply scoffs in disgust.

ANGELA: "What has crawled up your ass? He is my partner in crime, now shoo."

Garrett shows her the finger before strolling inside with the butler, carrying Sebastian's luggage.

SEBASTIAN:(Frowns)"So why does it look like someone just died? This place is as quiet as a tomb, where is Alex?"

ANGELA:(Stomps her foot)"That's the thing, he hasn't left that slut's side ever since she came back. Even Tyler keeps a hawklike eyes on her & don't get me started on Lukas. Even Dad is also...!"

SEBASTIAN: "What, that prick was here?"

Both siblings walk inside, the maid directs them to the dining room. There they were, Gina & Alexander were sitting at the table with Sarah. Sebastian frowns looking at the girl, she has lost weight, her skin seems pale & her eyes looked hollow. Chelsea was slicing some apples, while Alex was on the laptop. He was on a video conference it seems & he was wiping Sarah's mouth with a napkin. She was slowly drinking some kind of a broth also nibbling at a buttered toast. Chelsea had a sad look in her eyes as she ate an apple slice & slid another plate towards the girl. Tyler, walks in with a tray in his hand. He stops as he looks at Sebastian giving him the lopsided grin.

TYLER:(Placing the tray on the table)"Hey, Seb, welcome home, sorry for not giving you the usual warm welcome. But congrats on the success of the contract. Here you must be starving & don't you dare say that you've eaten. I have worked hard in making this cheesy lasagna. Here try some, Alexander, put away your work for now & eat."

Beside Sebastian he could hear Angela mumbling the word 'p***y'. Sighing, honestly, she hasn't accepted the fact that Tyler chose to be a chef. She considers it for men being a cook is because it is refers to be feminine. If only she knew that occasionally both of the brothers can cook too but not like Tyler. Meeting his brother's eyes who simply nods his head at him. Usually they would hug to greet each other. The atmosphere at the moment was a bit awkward. Sebastian's gaze shifts to Sarah who seems oblivious while having her meal. As Sebastian moves closer to the table the girl's movements began to slow down. For she had caught his familiar cologne causing her heart to beat faster. Sarah, within 3 years can easily see the difference between the brothers. They may share most activities together but like their differences in traits & personalities. Their choice of perfumes & such are a bit dissimilar. The spoon slips from her hands, clattering on the floor as soft brown eyes clashes with sky-blue ones. Alexander has hazel eyes like their Mom's then Sebastian & Harmony's have blue like their father. Right now all eyes were on the scene before them. Sebastian simply stands there as he holds a staring contest with Sarah. Her face was blank yet her pupils begins to dilate. Clenching her hands in a tight fists underneath the table didn't go unnoticed by Alex. Somehow he had anticipated this but right now? Suddenly, Sarah felt as if the oxygen was being sucked out of her as the dreadful scene began to replay in her mind. Sebastian's fury in his blue eyes, barging into the room, towering over her. He simply shouts 'you slut', before she could ask for explanation, he strikes. As usual not letting her utter a single word he would assault her either to have s*x or the beating. For no apparent reason whatsoever, not knowing how she was able to provoke Sebastian Thorne like that. He had backhanded her so hard that she could taste blood in her mouth. Next he started to kick her at her abdominal area. She tried to protect herself or rather the new life inside her. Despite that Sebastian continued while spouting profanities at her. With one final kick at her ribs did the trick. Everything turns black, the devil was unaware of the damage he did just storms out. Without seeing two familiar figures of his friends as he leaves the mansion. This time the scene before them was just unbearable. Sarah begins to rock back & forth, mumbling something under her breath.

CHELSEA: "Sarah, you okay there, hon?"

ANGELA:(Scoffs)"Get real, of course not, she is pretty much putting up the act. Don't worry about it, she just an attention freak."

TYLER:(Sarcastically)"Wrong answer, my dearest wife, that is mostly your job right?"

Angela simply scowls at his words. Sarah's arms covers her stomach as she begins to hyperventilate, that's when Alex gathers her in his arms.

ALEXANDER: "Quick, call Dr. Morris, send him to our room."

ALEXANDER'S P.O.V.

I can't believe this, just when it seems that there won't be any isssues. It seems that the abuse she had taken from my brother has triggered her off. Because she just keeps mumbling to herself. 'My baby, he killed my baby. I'm so sorry, I couldn't protect you. I'm a horrible mother'. My heart broke seeing her like this, but she calmed down once Dr Morris gave her sedatives. Thank God, that she doesn't have any suicide tendencies as the good doctor informed. True, that despite all that she went through, she is still alive otherwise most would simply give up. Eventually, her grip on my hand loosens a bit. I couldn't help feeling a little elated at the fact that she trusts me. Along with Tyler, Chelsea, Lukas & Gina. For the first time even Dad came over a few times to ask about her. I remember how cute she looked giving my Dad her forlorn puppy look. She knows that he didn't like her in the beginning. Angela still shows disdain towards her & now Sebastian. After the doctor left, I was stroking her soft brown hair then I hear something.

GARRETT:(Whispers)"Hey, how is she doing? Tyler just told me."

ALEXANDER:(Sighs)"She is asleep now, the doctor says that it might not be long before she is completely back to normal."

GARRETT:(Snorts)"Yeah, right, as if she will ever be back to normal? After losing her...?!"

DING!

Frowns, taking out his phone then he groans audibly, I look at him in question.

GARRETT:(Sarcastically)"Her Royal highness, Princess Angela, summoned us in her room. ASAP."

Huffing, I figured as much, Sebastian must be there as well.

ALEXANDER:(Kissing Sarah's forehead)"Oh well, might as well get it over with."

Running my hand through my already tousled dark hair as stood up.
