Earlier in the afternoon...
Jeremy ran to the Carter Mansion only to find Flora missing. He knew that Flora is connected with Sarah's incident. He was so eager to find Sarah that he barged into every room while Drake tried to stop him.
Drake finally lost his temper and when Jeremy came out of the last room of the mansion Drake yelled at him, "What the hell are you finding?!"
Jeremy held Drake's collar aggressively and pushed him towards the wall,
"Where is she? Where did she take Sarah?" He kept yelling at Drake.
"Who?" Drake was baffled
"Your mother! Where is that b*tch?!"
"Mind your words!" Drake yelled and jerked Jeremy's hands.
"I know you're worried about Niall, but mind your words she is Niall's mo-"
"Shut the f*ck up! I know very well, what kind of mother she is!"
"A mother who conspired against her own son! You call her a mother?!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Drake yelled at Jeremy.
"What do you even know? That woman whom you and Niall have been or worshipping blindly all these years is so vicious!"
"Enough!" Drake said and was about to slap Jeremy when he held his hand and jerked it back.
"I won't let her repeat what happened two years ago! I won't let her harm Sarah anymore. She has already done a lot."
"What do You mean by that?"
Jeremy tells him the whole story while Drake hits the wall behind him as he isn't able to bear the truth. His eyes fill up as he gradually looks down.
"I don't know if you'll believe me or you'll turn a blind eye when it comes to your lovely mother just like Niall but, this is the truth. She is a damn f*cking b*tch who sees nothing when it comes to money and property."
"All these years I tried to protect Niall, as I promised. But-but it was my own mother conspiring against him?" He questioned in a low voice.
"I won't let her win this time, she has already won a lot of battles now but this time this won't happen again!"
"I think...I know who can tell where she is!" Drake said.
"Wh-where?"
"Follow me!" Drake ran out of the house followed by Jeremy.
****
Here Carla who was at her home all alone. Walked here and there in her hall as she was quite afraid of whatever was about to happen.
She knew that whatever she did even if it was out of jealousy she knew that the truth will be out soon. She knew she won't be spared. She cursed herself for whatever she did but, now she also knew that there is no going back.
Suddenly the front door of her house bang opened. She ran out of the room only to find Drake standing in front of her full of rage and behind him was Jeremy. Both panting heavily and glaring at Carla.
"Dra-Drake?" She stuttered as she clenched he fist behind her back.
"How many more guards will you hire to stop us?"
Drake walked towards her and she took steps back. Hitting the wall finally she had no option but to face Drake.
"Don't come near, I warn you!" She yelled and as she hit the wall she took out the knife from her back which she was holding all this time.
But Drake held her hand and glared at her more furiously. Carla gulped looking at him. The Drake who she had been a quiet and sophisticated gentleman all this time was too different from his inner self right now.
"I. Had warned you! Still, you tried to harm Niall!" He said in a hoarse voice.
"Drake spare me, I'll explain ever-
"Oh cut the crap Miss!" Jeremy yelled from behind.
"What do you think, explaining everything now will get your name erased from whatever you did? Trust me on this Carla I never thought a pure girl like you could be so selfish and vicious." Drake snarled.
"I knew we were doing wrong to you by making you marry someone who doesn't even love you, I had sympathy for you. But you-"
"I'm sorry Drake, I'll do whatever you want!" She clenched her eyes and unshed tears rolled out.
"Now tell us where is Sarah?!" Jeremy yelled again.
"Sa-Sarah?" She stuttered.
"YEAH!" Drake yelled making her shudder.
"I-I don't kn-"
"Don't try to hide anything from me, I know whom you're trying to help. But let me tell you this, that lady is not my mother anymore. The way she has been ruining my brother's life makes me want to slit her throat. So tell us where is she?! Where the hell she has taken Sarah?!" Drake questioned again.
"Tell us or-" Drake tried to threaten her when she interrupted
"OLD FARMHOUSE!"
Jeremy looked at Drake as this was something he didn't know,
"Whose?"
"The-the old farmhouse in which you and your mother used to live." She further quivered.
Drake let her hand go and stepped a bit back, Carla held her wrist and rubbed it as it had red marks of Drake's finger. Drake pointed a finger at her and clenched his jaws before saying,
"Don't think you've escaped by helping us. If anything happens to Sarah or Niall then don't forget, I won't spare you. Just. Wait. And. Watch!"
Then he, along with Jeremy left the house in a hurry. Carla squat down alongside the wall as she jerked due to her silent and guilt full pain.
She had committed a crime which now won't let her live in peace. If anything happens to Sarah or Niall she won't be able to forgive herself. Raging due to jealousy her mind was blinded. She was able to realise what she was doing and now that she knows there's nothing left except for guilt.
Wailing there for a while more she sniffed and wiped her tears,
"I-I can't face the future now." She said and ran inside her room.
****
Here as soon as Drake and Jeremy reached the farmhouse many guards stopped them. Pushing them aside they somehow made their way in. They could hear mourn of a woman and as the mourn got louder Jeremy's heartbeat starts beating crazily. He was nervous about what was happening inside. He opened the gate with a kick.
"Enough Mom!" Yelled Drake.
Sarah was being dragged by a guard who stopped in the midway seeing both of them standing in front of them. As she saw Jeremy standing there she whispered,
"Jeremy!" And closed her eyes as she started wailing.
Jeremy ran towards her and punched the man holding her arm quite tightly. He got her rid of all those ties and the cloth in her mouth. Sarah hugged Jeremy hugged Sarah tightly and Jeremy patted her slightly calming her unstable breaths.
Drake went towards his mother while Flora stood up looking at her son with her widened eyes.
"Drake?!" She whispered questioned.
"Why? What did you think that you'll whatever you want and I won't know anything?" Drake looked at her with despise in his eyes.
"Son don't prejudice me..."
"Stop it! How many more excuses you'll give me? No wonder Niall hated me all these years even when I was so nice to him. I deserve to be treated that way."
"No! No son!" Flora tried to hug him but he stepped back.
"Don't you dare to touch me!" He pointed a finger on him.
"No no no....don't do this to your mom. You know how much I love you?" She claimed.
"Then-then why did you do this?!" Drake yelled as his flood up.
He never wanted to treat his mother this way, he indeed loved her. But the facts which stated whatever she had been doing all these years makes him despise her. And he can't help but wail at his own destiny.
Before Flora could say anything Jeremy's phone rang.
"Yeah, Sam?" He asked while Sarah stood beside him still hugging his arm tightly.
"What?!" He yelled.
"I'll be there."
He looked at Drake, "Niall is being taken to court, his hearing is going to be held in no time..."
