Is this destiny?

Sarah placed her hand on JoAnna\'s shoulder, reminding her to calm down and stay in her role.

Sarah asked Miss Bell: "We saw you with Lukas at the event last weekend. Are you denying that you are in a relationship with him?"

Miss Bell pursed her lips while thinking how to answer this. She knows that these two are working for Jeff. But Jeff saw her with Lukas, he even mentioned calling her cousin-in-law. That means that Jeff does not care if she slept with his cousin or not. She smiled at the thought that powerful men don\'t doubt their capability to keep a woman, no matter what her past is. Jeffrey White is truly a remarkable person. Well, Jeff is remarkable, but Lukas…

Miss Bell grimaced and answered: "I don\'t know if you can call that a relationship."

JoAnna remembered that she wanted to know: how did Miss Bell end up with Lukas? It can\'t be love. This woman is manipulative, superficial, obsessed with Jeff… and Lukas has nothing to offer that she will be interested in. So, how did he get her to stay by his side?

"Knowing Lukas\' reputation, it is impossible that you stayed by his side and he didn\'t touch you. Why would a woman like you be with him? Does he have some hidden skills between the sheets?"

Miss Bell snorted at JoAnna\'s question. "Skills? Lukas? If you are looking for a White who can perform between the sheets, let me tell you from my experience: don\'t go for Lukas, Aiden is a better choice."

"What do you mean?", Sarah\'s murderous voice startled JoAnna.

Miss Bell didn\'t notice rising hostility from Sarah\'s side. She has no problems chatting with the two of them. The whole day she is by herself, and if she can befriend them that is a bonus, right? "You are not from the area, so you don\'t know. I was with Aiden a couple of years ago. He is not a bad lover. His technique is quite good, and he can last long, but I have bigger expectations from…"

Miss Bell stopped talking abruptly. Why is her neck hurting? It took her a moment to realize that Sarah\'s face is twisted in anger and that she is gripping her neck. When did this woman reach by her side? Is she crazy? She is choking her! Will she kill her? Miss Bell struggled to breathe.

"You can\'t do this…", Miss Bell heaved in agony while holding onto Sarah\'s wrist, trying to get her to let go. "Jeffrey will punish you…"

Sarah pushed Miss Bell to the wall and before she recovered Sarah\'s hand covered Miss Bell\'s face and started banging her head against the wall ruthlessly.

JoAnna saw that Sarah lost control. If she does not do anything, Sarah will kill this woman. And she might have useful information, that is why they decided not to get rid of her right away. Even if they stop playing in their Russian bodyguard roles, she needs that woman alive!

"Sarah! We need to question her!", JoAnna cried.

Sarah let go of Miss Bell who slid on the floor like her legs are made out of jelly. She was wailing and coughing, unsure if she should hold her head or her throat first.

Miss Bell reached for the back of her head and let out a shrill scream when she realized that her hair is sticky form blood.

"You need to question her?", Sarah squeezed through her teeth. "Then she can go without this!" Sarah stomped on Miss Bell\'s foot and made a slight twist from her ankle. Miss Bel\'s scream transformed in a horrible high-pitched sound.

Miss Bell felt her bones cracking slowly and the pain was excruciating. She was on the verge of passing out.

JoAnna covered her ears with her palms, trying to block the noise.

Sarah seemed like she does not hear agonizing sounds the woman on the ground is producing.

"And she does not need this!" Sarah broke her other leg, just under the knee, this time causing an open fracture…

JoAnna widened her eyes when she realized that Sarah lost it completely.

The moment Miss Bell said that she used to be with Aiden and started talking about him, JoAnna knew that Sarah will not take it calmly, but this…

…

Aiden and Jeff were in the study when both of them heard in their ear studs JoAnna\'s voice: "Guys, this is bad. It\'s Sarah…"

"What happened?" Aiden asked while rushing toward the bedroom where Miss Bell is.

They know that JoAnna and Sarah went to play dress-up as Russian bodyguards with Miss Bell and two brothers decided to spend that time by discussing how they will handle few things going forward.

JoAnna didn\'t want to say anything that can provoke Sarah further, but she knows that it\'s better for Aiden to know what happened before facing Sarah. She got an idea: "Eve can play you the audio from the last minute…"

…

Aiden rushed inside bedroom and hugged Sarah from the back.

Jeff was few seconds behind Aiden. He paused when he saw unconscious Miss Bell on the floor in a puddle of her own blood.

The fluffy white robe was red, unable to absorb all the blood which oozed on the expensive carpet under her. The scene of Miss Bell\'s mangled body was gruesome.

"Love, calm down…", Aiden implored Sarah who was struggling to break out of his hold.

"Let go!", Sarah raged.

"Not until you calm down." He was holding her as hard as he could without hurting her.

It didn\'t take long for Sarah to get free. Sarah is not an easy opponent, and without Aiden using all of his strength, he knew that he can\'t contain her.

Without hesitation, Sarah jumped out of the window. Aiden was two heartbeats behind her, ignoring the shattered glass.

Jeff and JoAnna looked after their younger siblings and then exchanged concerned glances.

JoAnna sighed and pulled her blonde wig off. "If I knew that this woman is Aiden\'s ex and that she would brag about sleeping with him while shamelessly mentioning his technique and how long he can last… I would not do this with Sarah."

Jeff embraced her. "Don\'t blame yourself. You didn\'t know."

JoAnna remembered how upset she was that this woman is coveting her husband, even with the knowledge that Jeff is not interested. Thinking about Sarah\'s reaction, JoAnna wondered, how would she feel if Miss Bell actually slept with Jeff? Would it make any difference if that happened before they met? She didn\'t have an answer to these questions. She never asked Jeff about his romantic past, and she does not want to know if he slept with any woman before her... or with how many.

JoAnna is aware that it is normal for people to have previous relationships. Many people start dating from teenage years, and it is unreasonable to expect a clean slate from a partner in his twenties. And Sarah knows that as well. However, when an ex shows up in front of you and talks about your chosen one shamelessly like that… it is a completely different thing.

To make things worse, Sarah was always all or nothing. She either gives a person her absolute trust or shuts them out completely. Her baby sister never walked the gray area in anything… and that includes her emotions.

JoAnna hopes that Aiden will manage to pacify Sarah and that she will not relapse and shut down.

"Did you know that Miss Bell is Aiden\'s ex?"

Jeff found himself in a predicament. If he says that he did, he might get in trouble. "You know about his past. Every female is a potential ex."

JoAnna had to agree with this. She looked at Miss Bell and told Jeff: "Call medical staff. Let\'s take her in for a surgery. I know that Sarah avoided her vitals, but this woman does not look good. I want to patch her up and stabilize her before we start the questioning."
