Aiden is very familiar with that little tapping movement Sarah does on her earpiece when she talks to Eve.
Seeing Sarah's serious expression, he got anxious. 'What did Eve tell her?'
Sarah's expression turned cold as she watched live feed on her PC screen without sound: Jeff grabbed JoAnna's wrist, and she went to his embrace. They held each other for some time before JoAnna lifted her head and they kissed. Once, twice... 'They are still kissing! Why are they kissing?!! What the hell?!!' Sarah's mind was getting blurred from anger. 'What about Isabella?!! That shameless bastard! How can he take advantage of JoAnna when he has a commitment to Isabella??!' At this time Sarah's expression twisted from anger. She stood up abruptly and rushed outside.
Aiden took a deep breath before slowly walking behind Sarah's desk to see what angered her to this state. He was frozen for few seconds until his brain processed what he is watching… and Sarah saw it too!!! Panic washed over him. He knows what Sarah is capable of doing when she loses control. "Shit! Jeff!" He exclaimed before locking Sarah's PC and rushing after her.
By the time he got out of the White corp. building, Sarah was nowhere in sight. Luckily, Aiden knew where she was going. It was obvious that daily exercises greatly increased Sarah's speed and stamina. Aiden ran to their apartment worried how far behind he is.
As soon as elevator door opened, Sarah stormed inside. "Jeff! You shameless bastard!"
Jeff was in a daze while kissing JoAnna, and Sarah's voice pulled him back to reality. He stood up from the sofa. "Sarah, let me explain..."
"What is there to explain??!" Sarah roared. "Are you still in commitment with Isabella?!!"
"Yes, but..." Jeff tried to explain.
Sarah didn't listen. "If you didn't break up with Isabella, what the f*ck are you doing on top of my sister?!!"
Sarah was consumed with rage. Man in front of her was not Jeffrey White, it was not Aiden's brother, it was not her boss… it was an adulterer who dares to take advantage of her sister!
JoAnna stood up next to Jeff. "Sarah...", she froze when she saw Sarah. She knows this expression. She didn't see it in a while, but JoAnna knows that when Sarah is like this no one can reason with her, and people will get hurt until her anger subsides. JoAnna got her phone and dialed a number. 'Come on, come on... mom, pick up...'
"It's not like that..." Jeff tried to reason with Sarah. No words reached her, she leaped over the sofa towards Jeff. He stepped back trying to avoid a fight, but it only seemed to anger Sarah more. She started launching attacks at him, he blocked first few hits, but each next one was faster and stronger.
'How can this skinny girl be this strong?' Jeff wondered, as he relied on his reflexes to defend. Sarah was so fast that he could not think of anything to stop her. If those hits land on his body, he will suffer much more.
JoAnna's phone connected. "Mom, I need your help. Sarah went berserk. How do I stop her?"
"What happened?", Stella asked.
"There is no time for that, mom... it's getting worse. She will hurt him.", JoAnna pleaded.
"Put me on speaker", Stella commanded.
As Sarah's attacks got fiercer, they started landing on Jeff's body. Jeff took a step back increasing the distance between him and Sarah.
Sarah's eyes flashed in excitement, and he felt chills all over when he realized that she started using her legs. He blocked one attack, and his arm almost broke. Second kick landed on his leg and he fell on his knee. Sarah's next kick stopped midway few inches away from Jeff's head. She heard her mom's voice from JoAnna's phone... Stella was speaking in Russian. No one understood what she said, except for Sarah, but it seemed to stop Sarah's rampage. Sarah's body stopped mid-attack, but her face was still twitching from fury that consumed her. Wild beast in her was roaring for more, it was not enough. Person in front of her needs to be punished.
"Sarah, stop!", Aiden pleaded as he rushed from the elevator. He ran to her and hugged her from behind speaking softly. "Baby, I need you to come back. Come on... I know you can do it. Come back to me..."
Sarah lowered her leg and her body relaxed. She turned to Aiden and allowed him to lead her to the bedroom. Before he closed the door behind them, he told JoAnna, "Take care of Jeff."
Stella was still on the phone. "What happened?"
"Aiden calmed her down." JoAnna responded, visibly shaken.
"Really?" Stella was surprised. "That's good, that's good. How about the people she attacked?"
"One person... I will check on him now. But he is alive, don't worry about that... Will talk to you later." JoAnna kept her phone away and walked to Jeff.
Jeff was on the floor, staring at the closed door of the bedroom.
JoAnna approached him slowly. "Are you OK?"
'Of course, he is not OK…' She could already see bruises forming. But she needs to make sure there are no broken bones or internal injuries.
"Was that Sarah?" Jeff asked weakly.
JoAnna exhaled. "She does that... when she gets angry... Let me check your state. Can you come to the sofa?"
JoAnna helped Jeff to the sofa. She lifted his shirt and her heart ached when she saw him already bruised up. She rushed to the freezer and came back with ice packs. "Luckily they have a lot of ice packs ready. Why do they need this many?"
"After this, I have few ideas." Jeff laughed for a second before abruptly stopping and holding his chest.
JoAnna shook her head. "How can you laugh? Look at you..."
Jeff caressed her cheek with his slender fingers. "You are my medicine."
She smiled as she pushed his hand away gently. "Stop flirting... and let me check you..."
