Sarah POV
Atkinson saved me from Roberto. I am such an agony to everyone...because of me,Atkinson also got hurt. But why would he save me from dying despite of hating me...Oh Lord,my thoughts were in turmoil and my heart was yearning to see Atkinson. I wanted to know whether he was fine or not. I was worried about him and about me at the same time. Whatever Roberto did to me, I still cannot take out of mind and I felt insecured knowing that he could attack me once again. For some reasons I felt for a second that Atkinson was very closed to me, that I could rely on him to protect me . Was I getting too emotional? I could not get a grip of myself. I was losing myself  for awhile. It seemed like I wanted to run away, to be free from myself.

Atkinson POV
I was sipping my coffee and I realised that I was falling.

Yes falling deep for her...

She was the one...

She was the only one...

I love you Sarah Mondragon.YES I LOVE YOU! You stole the cold-blooded Atkinson Smith Rhodes' heart and filled it with love Sarah. A man who didn't even know what "love" was.

I could not bear it anymore. I needed her the most. I needed her with me. I needed to tell her. I needed to feel her embrace. I only needed my love Sarah Smith Rhodes with me. I'm coming to you Sarah...I'll protect you for my lifetime. That's a promise. First of all, I must make sure to keep an eye on Roberto. He'll try to harm Sarah and I woouldn't be able to bear it. Whenever I see her in tears, then I'm twice hurt more than she is. I want her to be happy.

I'm such a coward. I didn't think about to tell her that I love her. I have never felt such a thing for any woman before and now that I found her, I wanted it to be special. Afterall, she would be my future wife. I ought to start make her feel special and wanted. Today , she was going to return home from hospital and maybe I should go and meet her. I'm so impatient to do so.

By evening...

I was all groomed up and sprinkled some perfume on me. I was so eager to meet her and talk to her. I'm still remembering her sweet hug she gave me during the kidnapping. I loved it so much and now I was eager to tell her about me. No wonder how she would react. I know that I hurt her the most but I would do anything to have her forgiveness. I would even beg her if needed.

I took out the car and headed to the house. Once I arrived, I knocked at the door. The wait was long but I had to be patient. Instaneously, Zelda ,her mother opened the door, I greeted her and she welcomed me inside. I was feeling very elated and smiling until I saw that Roberto was here. My blood started to boil. How dare he!!! Fury shot through me and I was on the verge on giving him a tight slap when Sarah stopped me. I was shocked and somewhere deep down anxious.

That's what I like about her. She was just a sensitive girl. She would believe everyone. She was wonded, she appeared to be hurt and in spite of this she was saving the person who wouldn't even think twice before hurting her. Why was she like that? She was so perfect,  so pure , so sweet , so kind , so beautiful, yes she was a beautiful lady and I will curse myself for life for having not been able to recognise someone like her. I did so much misery for her. I scolded her , I made her scared , I accused her of being an immoral woman, I destroyed her , I keep on pressuring her , I didn't leave any stone to abuse her physically and psychologically.

I was the one who deserved to be punished...

I was the one who should begged for pardon...

I don't even deserve her pardon...

She has endured so much because of me. I didn't even realise how I hurt her. I was so SELFISH...So engrossed with me...so rude...to her. And she kept on bearing it. She never said anything which hurt me. I'm sorry Sarah...I'm sorry... I wish I could change it all...

....

Sarah's POV
Mr. Arrogant was here with Roberto. He seemed very angry but I wished to tell him that I have forgiven Roberto for his past misdeeds. I wasn't sure whether I was doing the right thing but it was my nature to forgive. I agree that Roberto did wrong to me. He tried to take my dignity but I shouldn't blame him only for it all. I should not forget that I found a job just because of him and I will be forever grateful to him for this. It's maybe that he really love me a lot but sadly for him his love proved to be an obsession risky for my life.

"Roberto, I forgive you and now you can go and I have a request , please don't show up in front of me again. Good luck and may you have a happy life with love. ", I uttered.

He gave me a sad smile and left.

Atkinson POV
I smirked upon hearing Sarah's words. I was so relieved. On the top of that, I have already arranged for cops and security guards to watch over Roberto. I'll make sure he stays away from Sarah.

"Hi Sarah, how are you feeling? " ,I asked.

" I'm good Sir. Thank you for your concern and I wish to say sorry to you for everything that has been happening. Thank you also-"

"Ssh" I cut her before she added anything else.

I bent a bit and kissed her on her cheeks.

She was left speechless. Her eyes were wide open and she kept gazing at me. I loved how surprised she was. I seemed like she wanted to ask something but too hesitant so do so. I smirked at her.

Sarah's POV
Oh my gosh what! Did he just kissed me? Why how? I was clearly astonished , I didn't know how I should react to his doings'. Wasn't he not the Atkinson who used to be brutal and arrogant with me. Was he being gentle with me for the first time.  Maybe I should ask him.

"I-"  he placed his hands on my mouth before I could speak.

"Hush" he uttered as he came closer to me.  I could sense his deep breaths. He was so close to me and I somehow loved it. What was wrong with me or maybe I should wonder what was wrong with him?  He unexpectedly hugged me with all his strength, very tight, as if he refused to let go of me. It was so unusual by his side that I started to shed tears. I wondered if he was alright or what was happening to him.
"Forgive me , I.....I ....Loee...I love you Sarah"

Atkinson's POV
I finally said it. The 3 words which troubled me a lot. Suddenly I felt Sarah's rising temperature. As I took a glimpse of her , I realised that she faint. What happened to her? I needed an ambulance right now. I hurried to make the call.

"Sarah what happened to you please wake up love", my soul yelled with frustration and I kissed her forehead.

I won't let anything happen to you.

You'll be safe Sarah...
