Chereads / Forbidden love life / Chapter 3 - Upside down

Chapter 3 - Upside down

The weekend has passed quickly and soon Monday arrived, it was university time again

Sara did not talk to her friends after what happened at the bar because they will ask a lot of questions and she didn't have the answers

That morning, like every other, Sara dressed up for her courses and got downstairs to take breakfast with her family

But no! This morning wasn't going to be like any other!

As soon as the Ross family sat down for breakfast, the doorbell rang

For their surprise, it was the police! Jack was shocked, he never had problems with the laws before

Police man:" Who is Mr Jack Ross?"

Jack:" It's me officer, is there any problem?"

Police man:" You need to come with us please, there a few things to clarify."

Cassandre:" Can you please tell us what are you blaming my husband for?"

Police man:" They will tell you everything in the police station, now we should go Mr Ross"

Cassandre:" I will call the lawyer and go after you honey"

Jack:" Samuel you are the elder one, you have to take your responsibility towards the family son, take care of them and yourself!"

Then, the officer handcuffed him and took him to the car

Cassandre left to join her husband and comfort him

The three boys did not say a word, Sara was in tears and no one had understood what has happened

Samuel remember his father's words then and he told his siblings:

" I know that will not going to be easy but our father needs us, and he want us to be strong and support each other and that'show we will survive anything! Everyone will continue to live his normal life until he returns; Sara and Steve you will go to your classes and Simon and I will go to work. I need you guys to have faith and patience, our father will be soon out of it"

After hearing this, Sara wipped her tears took her bag and left

Once in her university she tried to hide as much as she can her sadness, but her friends know her very well

They knew that there something happened to her

Julia:" What is the matter Sara? Why are you so silent, you haven't said a word all day!"

Kelly:" Yes, why are you so calm suddenly? Don't you wanna talk about your crush on the bad boy at the bar"

They both laughed, but then noticed that tears filled up Sara's eyes and run down her face

Julia:" Honey what's going on? You know you can trust us right? We may be able to help you, please tell us what happened!"

Sara explained everything to her best friends

Kelly:" we are so sorry love, your father is a good man, they will have nothing to reproach him for. All of this must certainly be a mistake you will see."

Julia:" Of course it's a mistake, and soon he will be out but the most important thing to you is to be strong and patient. And remember we will always be here for you."

Sara:" I love you girls. Group hug!"

Meanwhile at the police station

The lawyer came to tell Cassandre about the bad news

Lawyer Adam:" Authorities discovered suspicious activities in Mr Jack's work, but they are not sure yet. They will keep him under surveillance until they finish their investigations"

Cassandre:" Is there any way to get him out of jail before the end of the investigations?"

Lawyer Adam:" Of course, if you pay the guarantee he is free to go. But I'm afraid you can't afford it Mrs Ross, all your bank accounts have been frozen as well as your properties."

Cassandre:" What is that supposed to mean Adam?

Lawyer Adam:" It means that you have no right to sell or rent any of your properties and you can't use your credit cards anymore."

Cassandre came back home depressed and disappointed, she didn't know how to tell her children about this disaster

All she wanted was to give them a happy life and never let them need anything or anyone, but now she could no longer feed them

During dinner she decided that it was the time to tell them everything

It was very hard to talk about it since it would turn their lives upside down

But other surprise, her children were very comprehensive and they all decided to find work tomorrow morning

Cassandre was so proud that she had tears in her eyes

That night no one could sleep

Sara was thinking what kind of job she could get, so was her brothers

They didn't have to work until then, but they were determined on helping their mother and father...
