Sarah opens her eyes and finds herself lying on the floor of a darkened room. Her hands are tied and so are her legs while her mouth is stuffed with a piece of cloth. As she gets adjusted to the dim atmosphere around her an unknown voice welcomes her,
"All awake now?" The voice asked.
Sarah struggles to sit upright,
"A-a don't stress yourself. After all, you're my daughter in law."
Sarah's eyes widen and she looks in the dark in front of her as she realises to whom this voice belongs.
"Don't be surprised. I know everything about you and Niall." Flora replied.
"Uh! Wait, you might be surprised because it's me!" She added.
"But...according to your statement to the doctor, you remember everything, don't you? Then...you're still surprised? Interesting..."
Flora was sitting in on a chair just in front of Sarah crossing her legs.
Sarah wasn't able to speak due to the cloth in her mouth.
"Well, since you're here and you're still surprised to see me here then...you might be thinking why you're here?" Flora said while Sarah just kept looking at her.
"See, the thing is...you love my son, but my son has no bright future. So, to protect you I had to take you with me."
Sarah frowned at the riddles Flora was reciting to her,
"You didn't get it I guess?" Being unsure Flora bent a but forward while Sarah slightly shook her head.
"C'mon! Everyone knows now that-that Niall is a psychopath. Have you ever heard a psychopath having a future?"
Sarah mumbled and Flora frowned,
"Get rid of this cloth in her mouth!" Flora ordered.
A man came forward and took the cloth out of her mouth. Sarah panted and explained,
"But I know he is not a psychopath, trust me, Ms Carter, he is total-"
"Okay okay, fine!"
"I guess you still don't understand! Niall's career has ended now and there's stopping me now."
"No. I will help him. Let me go, I can clear Niall's name. Trust me, Ms Carter."
"Wait, are you sure you remember everything? Cause...if you do then why are you still so polite to me. I mean, look at you pleading me just to let you go and explaining everything to me so diligently!"
"Of course I know he is alright! But, the world doesn't work on verbal evidence and so, you can't win." Sarah frowned as she looked at Flora.
"Why should I let you go? See...two years ago it was you who failed my plan of killing Niall and again after two years it's you who's trying to interrupt, why can't you leave us alone?
"You tried to kill Niall?" Sarah said in a low voice can't believe.
"You won't believe it? Uh!" She scoffed.
"I am the villain!"
"Don't you remember that night when Niall gifted you a car, it was that day when this story was supposed to end? But-but when I went there I saw you lying inside that car bleeding instead of Niall. Do you even know how frustrated I was. That day... that day I got to know tha Niall loves someone, and the fun fact is, he was about to get married to her." Flora scoffed.
"So it was you...who failed the breaks of that car?" Sarah questioned in a low voice.
"No no! Practically I was not involved in it until I saw you struggling to live while you looked at me with those tears in your eyes."
"Practically it was supposed to be my men who would've killed you, I-I mean Niall and framed it as an accident but, you were someone too strong. You even survived that car accident. And just because you had witnessed me in person so... I had to smash your head with a rock. do you know how much courage it took me to do so? I'm not a serial killer or...am I?" Flora laughed.
Now that as Flora narrated the whole story of that accident nigh in front of Sarah, those faded pieces of her memory became more clear. But along with that, her head started to ache again.
"Ah!" she wailed.
"But you know what, you are strong then I could ever imagine. You survived that too. Yeah, though you forgot completely about Niall but still. I was afraid, cause I knew that one day you'll remember everything and I didn't want to stand all quite and watch you ruining my whole hard work."
Sarah clenched her eyes as pain engrossed her whole head, slowly.
"That day when I saw you at the company, I knew that you will remember everything soon and so, I wanted to execute my plan as soon as possible so that I could plan your death again. Just because of you and that bastard I have wrinkles, Oh God! What a worrying life I've been living till now."
"You ruined everyone's life!" Sarah yelled.
"Okay enough! I didn't get you rid of that so that you can tell at me?!
"You won't be able to live happily ever!" Sarah yelled.
"Well, it's time to put that back in her mouth! My ear hurt now!" Flora ordered again.
Sarah struggled as she saw the man approaching her again.
"Take her outside and throw her in front of any car, make it look like an accident. I don't want her to ruin my almost succeeded plan." She ordered.
"No, No!" Sarah tried to drag herself away from the man.
The man held her arms and started to drag her while Sarah yelled her lungs put which just came out as a loud mumble.
"You can't do this, he is your SON!"
Flora scoffed again,
"Get rid of her as soon as possible, my ears can't bear it anymore." she rubbed her ears.
Sarah throws her legs, yells her lungs out and tries her best to get rid of him, but his grip was quite hard. He dragged all the way half of the room and was about to take her to out when suddenly the door behind Flora opened,
"Enough Mom!" Drake yelled...
