Sarah was stunned regarding this woman as a monster. She seemed so complex. From the beginning of their relationship, she had suspected that Charles didn't love her and maybe loved another woman, but she had no evidence. Equally, Charles's extravagant displays of affection had distracted her from her suspicions. However, today she was told directly by this woman that Charles didn't love her.
This woman was dating Charles. Charles was cheating on her. What's more, it was consistent with Sarah's first instinct.
Clenching her fists, Sarah felt devastated. She tried to keep calm and stared at the woman, "Why are you telling me this? Since you are Charles's mistress, we are now rivals. Do you think I will trust you?" Sarah was only able to mask her flurried mind by pretending to be stronger than she felt. She still didn't trust Charles. As long as there was any sugg
The thought that lingered in Sarah's mind was that she had seen a picture of a beautiful girl in Charles's wallet when she had helped him pack his things up. The picture was of a girl with short hair, who was wearing a high school uniform and looked incredibly cute and pure. At the time, Sarah had thought that the girl was his sister or some sort of relative, so she secretly put the photo back in his wallet. However, when Charles came in and noticed that she was looking at his wallet, he was very quick to take it away.Sarah asked him who that girl was, but Charles seemed a little nervous and answered ambiguously, "Why do you ask so many questions?"At the time, she didn't take his embarrassment into consideration, but asked curiously, "Is she your sister? When will you put my photo in your wallet?"Charles smiled,
Sarah began to question herself. Did she still wish to be the owner of Charles' heart? She laughed at herself, suddenly smiled, and cried again.Noticing the gaze of passers-by, she lowered her head, wiped her tears, and left quickly.Just after turning the corner, she felt someone grab her by the wrist. Turning around, Sarah found that the person who'd stopped her was Charles. He appeared to be anxious, and his eyes gave away a sense of anger. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me at the entrance?" Charles said sharply, "Why are you leaving alone?" After pausing for a while, he realized that Sarah was crying, so he softened his voice, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? What's the matter with you?"Sarah shook her head, "Nothing." She didn't want to say anything. Although inside, she felt terrible, she still didn't want
A cool breeze was blowing as waves rolled onto the beach, backward and forwards. The ebb and flow of seawater, sunrise, and sunset reminded Sarah of a simpler, more ordinary life. However, there was nothing ordinary about this moment.Charles kept silent with one hand in his pocket and another putting a cigarette in his mouth. They walked slowly along the beach.After a long time, Sarah spoke first, "Why is it so hard for you to talk about your family?"Charles didn't answer her question right away, he lowered his head and continued to smoke for a while, "Sarah, I didn't mean to hide it, but those old days... I don't know how to talk about it.""What have you experienced?" Sarah looked at him. The light was dim. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she could make out t
What Charles hadn't noticed, however, was how upset Sarah was to learn of this, nor did he appear to have cared about her at all from the beginning of their relationship. Upon realizing this, Sarah was overwhelmed by a deep feeling of envy. Why has God been so kind to that girl? She was beautiful, smart, good at studying, and was even deeply loved by an excellent man! She too lost her parents when she was born, which Sarah identified with, but Sarah was tasked with looking after her little sister and was always a loser in love. Why? Why was her fate so miserable?She could ignore fate; after all, fate was out of her control, and not everyone can have a good destiny. However, Charles was her beloved man, and he simply shouldn't love another woman. She was so jealous of this girl whom she had never met before.Although she felt so sad, she still kept calm and ask
At that moment, Sarah didn't know how she felt about what had happened and just stared at Charles. Keeping silent, she felt her heart continue to sink.After Charles hung up the phone, he looked at Sarah and knew what she was thinking about. He hesitated for a while, "My sister Emma, she is back."Sarah responded quietly after a long pause, "I see.""She is at the airport now, ready to see me. She didn't go back home, so I had to pick her up."Sarah nodded again, "Go on, then." Her voice sounded calm, but Charles surely knew that something was wrong. Tonight, she had learned about his past and, on the same night, discovered that he clearly still can't forget about his sister. She had now returned, without warning and Sarah had no idea whether Charles still loved her or n
Emma looked like a young undergraduate in a tracksuit and wore her hair in a high ponytail. The most noticeable thing about her was that she was very beautiful. When she smiled, there were two sweet dimples on her face, which were incredibly attractive. She smiled at Sarah as she walked in and greeted her, "Hello, are you, Miss Tyler? I'm Emma." Her voice was gentle and soft. It made Sarah feel comfortable.Sarah didn't see her as a rival when they first met, but she did sense a great distance between them, from her age to her temperament. No wonder Charles described her as a dream girl, no one could compare to her.Sarah felt a little intimidated, but she dared not to show her insecurity on the surface. She just smiled, "Hello, I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you!" The two girls shook hands, then sat down.Before ordering
On the way home, everyone in the car was silent. Sitting in the back seat, Emma looked at Charles and Sarah and tried not to say anything so as not to create more awkwardness.Finally, they arrived at Emma’s apartment. Seeing Charles was preparing to escort her upstairs, Emma quickly stopped him and said, “Brother, I can go upstairs by myself. It’s so cold outside, go back home.” She then got out of the car and ran upstairs quickly.When they were alone again in the car, Charles turned to Sarah and said to her angrily, “Couldn’t you be more polite? My sister hasn’t come back for a long time. Why are you angry with her? I have told you many times how she is my friend, and you still won’t accept her.Hearing his complaints, Sarah felt angry again. In his eyes, everything
Sarah was indeed taking her private emotions into the business. She couldn’t forgive Charles this time. However, Charles couldn’t do anything to her even if he was furious. It seemed that Sarah was aware of this, which is why she was choosing to behave so audaciously. Therefore, the only thing Charles could do was to glare at her as he entered his office.Nonetheless, Charles couldn’t let this go, so he came up with many ways to trouble her. The more coldly she treated him, the more he would trouble her. Thus, he called her even when he didn’t have any orders. Sarah was so tired of him, but she had to follow his orders because he was her boss.After she had entered the office for the third time, Sarah felt as though she was going to snap. However, she still asked Charles in a professional tone, “Mr. President, can you give all your
Charles seemed satisfied with her answer. He hugged her and kissed her forehead as he said, “Maybe tomorrow… You’ll see something different!”Something different? What was different about Christina? Sarah didn’t understand what he meant but was reluctant to think about it any further. Their road ahead was still uncertain in terms of what Christina was concerned about. For now, she was tired and didn’t want to think about anything frightening.The next morning Charles got up early but didn't disturb Sarah. Their maid prepared breakfast for them, and when everything was ready, Charles went to wake Sarah up. When Sarah woke up, she found that it was only seven o’clock in the morning. It was still so early, so she asked, “Why did you get up so early?&r
It had been six months since Sarah gave Charles one last chance at the airport. They now were living happy and in love, far away from Christina and Emma. Their life had finally turned peaceful again, even though Charles was very busy maintaining two companies.Christina was serving a 3-year prison sentence, and Emma had gone to travel.Every night when Charles came home late, he looked exhausted to the point that he could hardly open his eyes. Sarah felt bad for him, but there was nothing she could do to alleviate his workload.As the only son, Charles was responsible for continuing the family business. The was now the head of both Thomas companies, and Sarah understood what he was going through.Previously she had been furious when he mentioned that his aunt would
It was 1:20 p.m. Sarah's flight had started boarding.Sarah got up, took her luggage, and was about to queue for the final security check before boarding, when suddenly someone stepped in front of her and grabbed her bags, preventing her from leaving.Sarah looked up and saw Charles’s aunt in front of her. Surprised, she asked coldly, “Aunt… You…What are you doing?”Her aunt simply responded. “Let’s talk!”Sarah looked at her for a moment and understood her intentions, then lowered her head and said. “No, I know what you want, but I’ve decided to leave for good. Charles and I brok
The police advised Charles to leave. Charles glanced at his mother but couldn't tolerate seeing her out of control and turned to leave. Christina's screams were heard from the outside as she resisted the police who were handcuffing her until she finally collapsed in sadness and anger.Charles turned to the wall, lowered his head, and punched the wall fiercely with his fist, decadent and frustrated. No matter what, that woman was his mother. Despite everything she had done to him, he still felt sad to see her in this condition.Daniel walked toward him and patted him on the shoulder. “I know it's hard. If it helps, cry it out. She is your mom after all, and nobody will blame you for feeling this way.”Charles turned around and looked at Daniel with red and wet eyes. It was evident that he was crying insid
Charles didn’t answer any of their questions. Instead, he took a microphone and looked straight at the camera with a worried and sad expression. After a long silence, he finally said.“You will get the answers to your questions later. For now, I need to say something. Sarah, where are you now? I’m sorry, but I’ve been waiting for you to come back. Are you watching this? I’ve been waiting for you. Can you hear me?” His eyes were filled with love and desperation. He looked gaunt and as if he was suffering from something. He looked like he was searching and waiting for her. His words sounded so sincere as if he was willing to do anything for her to come back.When seeing it, Sarah became even sadder and started to cry. She quickly wiped her tears and turned to leave in silence, without looking back.
Sarah answered in a hurry, “I'm not escaping, I just want to see the news. Something is going on, and I need to see it! Please let me see the news.” Sarah threw all her belongings and started to run.The two guys were about to chase her but had to be careful not to attract unwanted attention from the secret police patrolling the airport. However, as soon as those policemen saw them, they communicated through their walkie-talkie and came towards them as if they knew who they were, and we're going to arrest them.Surprised, one of the criminals asked. “What’s going on? The cops are coming towards us!”The other criminal looked toward the cops and said. “Stay calm, maybe they are not after us. We have to remain calm!”More and more
He owed her the promise of a happy life. Knowing that he couldn’t keep his promise to her anymore, given that they had no future together, she wanted to go to Texas and see the tulips by herself, and then from there to the Maldives, just like they had planned before everything had fallen apart. She was going to achieve her dreams, and on the way, forgets about Charles. She wasn't willing to live in regrets for the rest of her life.Once the gang leader noticed that Sarah had figured out a plan, he immediately became kind to her, “Okay, you can go anywhere you want. We’ll handle all the formalities right now. You’d better leave right away and never come back. Charles can never see you again!”Sarah was still numb but answered dazedly, “If I leave, I won’t
"Every time he suspects you of something, you will get hurt deeper and deeper. Is it worth it? We were hired to do a job, and we are going to finish it. I tried to reason with you and to leave Charles willingly. If you think about it, I’m quite helpful to you, right? I'm actually helping you to unveil the real Charles in front of you, you should be grateful to have this chance to escape. Isn't it better for you to just leave now while you still can?”Sarah spits on his face in response. That criminal burst in anger and slapped her face, scorning, “I'm done with you, I have other things to tend to. I'll give you two days to think about what you want to do next. If you still refuse to reason at the end of two days, I will kill you without hesitating. I'm wasting my time trying to talk sense into a silly woman like you!”
Charles looked worried. Sarah clearly heard him sigh genuinely before he said, “I don’t understand why Sarah did this to me. I really don’t know. Am I not good enough for her?”Emma comforted him. “Don’t be a sad brother. That woman is not worthy of you. She doesn't value you or all you have done for her. You went after her, giving in to her demands over and over again, but she continued to lose her temper with you. You see, you should be glad she left you this time!”Charles sat down on the grass near the highway, with hands in his hair in desperation. In a sad tone, he continued. “What did I do wrong for her to hurt our child and leave me? She told me the abortion was a planned attack on her, but it never crossed my mind that she did it a
