Bleeding obsession novel Chapter 3

Authors pov

"Sarah... How are you my child?..."

Her father's friend greeted her instead of him. Sarah gave him tight smile. These fake formalities and talks always disgusted her.

Why bother doing that when no one cares.

"Get to the point father..."

She took her seat in front of him. The dining table wasn't big enough still it could fit 7 to 8 people so they had reasonable distance between them.

"How's the business going?..."

Peter, her father asked. No hi, no how are you, no greetings. That’s what she

Expected.

"Good..."

She replied nonchalantly trying to read his face.

"You lost 5 important deals..."

He said sternly.

"I got 10 new in the international market..."

She replied calmly.

"You broke our two important alliances..."

He countered.

"I have succeeded to merge 3 famous and successful companies with ours which are giving us more profit which your two alliance never managed to do..."

Her appetite was long gone by now. She wasn't in mood to argue with him.  All she wanted is peace, not only around her but in within her too.

"Did you visit your psychiatric..."

He asked and she clenched her jaw.

"Therapist ..."

She corrected him. Sarah was taking therapy for her depression and anxiety.

"There isn't much difference..."

He scowled and Sarah wanted to scream at him that there is a difference. She is not a psycho.

His friend aka assistant, Johnson butted in.

"Peter you shouldn't talk to her in this manner...."

He smiled sweetly at Sarah which only disgusted her, he always gives her bad vibes.

"You know sweetheart he was worried about you. You are trying so hard to handle everything. I must say you are a very brave child, after having such a big accident and very serious brain injury how did you managed to do everything so perfectly..."

"It's been 5 years. I am fine now and stable in my head..."

She stated.

"You were in coma for 2 years. Your brain is damaged and you are still getting treatment for that Sarah..."

Her father yelled.

"So you are basically calling me a psychopath..."

She Clenched her fist, her throat tightened after listening his cruel words. He wasn't lying but he shouldn't have thrown that on her face like this.

"Whatever... My point is you can't handle company any longer, I don't trust your state of mind..."

He declared.

"Can't you just trust me once... I have proved myself plenty of time..."

Her eyes watered. This status, power or companies never mattered. What matters the most is trust and faith, may be little bit love which she never received from this man.

"What you have decided then?..."

"I was going to marry off Natasha to a man who has ability to handle our group of industries. We can't stay like this anymore; I have no idea when my son will wake up. I can't trust a girl who is not stable in her mind and definitely not your sister who is brainless..."

My son! He never said my daughter with so much love.

"I am fine with it... Do it and set me free... anyways I am tired of this life."

She breathed out. Desperate to get out of all the mess.

"You have taken the responsibility of everything then you have to carry it till the end. You are my child and I can't just throw you out. So you will stay and sort out the mess your sister has created."

He said coldly.
