After handing his coat on the hanger, Sarah was about to prepare his bath when Charles came and hugged her from behind, kissing her ear and neck with a mix of tenderness and passion.
Sarah slightly pushed him off. “What are you doing? You haven’t even taken a bath yet.”
“I miss you. We haven’t done anything for three days. Every night you're busy serving my parents, and in the morning, you get up so early to exercise with dad. You're completely ignoring my needs.”
Sarah turned around and looked into his eager eyes. She couldn’t help swallowing before she said. “Aren’t you tired? We can get m
(Warning: This chapter contains a sexual scene.

Whatever it was, Sarah quickly reached her climax and became weak, but Charles was still as active and hard as before. He hugged her body from behind and held her in his arms, whispering. “Sarah…Sarah…” His voice was fascinating, and Sarah knew he wanted more.Sarah tried to look at him and said, “You…Is it not enough?”Charles was so helpl
Daniel hesitated for a little while, then answered. “Perhaps… it will affect your mood. Take a look!” He finally gave it to her.Sarah took it quickly and swept her hand over the envelope as if that would reveal the secret. It was a plain envelope, with only a few blank lines for writing an address and zip code, but nothing was written on it. She opened it and touched something hard.She frowned. “Photos?”Daniel just nodded. It was a pile of photos, at least a hundred. Looking down, Sarah paused for a while and then went on.Daniel was observing her every move and expression. In the beginning, she paused for a second, but then became more focused. Gradually, she began to frown, and her face turned pale. Finally, even her hands were shaking
Sarah was suddenly silent and didn’t know how to answer his question. If Charles still loved Emma and not her, her marriage was a fraud, filled with betrayal! She had fallen in love two times before, and both times it had ended with betrayal.Now she had married Charles, devoting her whole heart and body to him. She had cut off all her means to retreat and planned to be with him forever. If Charles really betrayed her, she didn’t know where to go.Sarah, you are a walking tragedy. You're the most miserable person in existence, and always will remain a loser in love. She thought quietly. Could she still believe in love after this?After remaining silent for a long time, she finally said in a cold tone, “If Charles betrayed me…” What would
Hearing what he had to say, Sarah thought she was going mad. “Did your mom tell you this thing?” Sarah hissed. It could only be Christina since she had tried from the beginning to destroy their relationship.Charles smiled ironically, “Of course not. Do you think I would trust anything my mom says?”Sarah understood. “Emma told you! I never expected her to be that person!”“So you’re admitting it? Are you angry now? because Emma told me that you are double-faced behind my back?”Sarah was agitated and sad. She couldn’t help raising her voice. “Charles, who on earth do you believe? Who is your wife?”“Yes, you’re my wife, the one I should trust
Sarah walked downstairs, not looking too good. Mr. Thomas came from his study and asked. “What’s the matter?” Christina must also have heard something also and knew that they had been arguing in their room.Hearing Mr. Thomas’s concerned voice, Sarah didn't know how to answer without revealing what was happening, not to worry him, so she just took a deep breath to calm herself down and said. “Nothing, dad, don’t worry about it.”Christina stood up from the sofa and said, frowning. “Just see what she looks like, there clearly is something.”Sarah knew that Christina had just come home and couldn't help looking at her with a disdained gaze and an uneasy feeling. She knew that Christina was happy to see her having problems with Charles.
Sarah swallowed the words she had in her mouth. She lowered her head, trying to figure out if Charles’s mistake was not a matter of principle? Charles and Emma had kissed intimately. Maybe because she hadn't told the whole truth about Emma and Charles, Mr. Thomas didn’t feel that their actions were dangerous, but it wasn't acceptable for her because Charles is her husband.Behind the back of her mind, she knew that Charles had betrayed her. Why should she forgive him? Should she accept his betrayal?Not knowing how to respond to his persuasion to forgive Charles. She finally just sighed and said. “Dad, I know. I’ll talk to him after we get back home.”Mr. Thomas felt relieved and patted her shoulder. “I have always treated you as my daughter, and you have never disappointed
Whenever she was thinking about it, she got outraged. She had to repress herself to stop thinking about him and stop missing his touch. She hadn't done anything wrong and wouldn’t be the one to admit fault.This sentiment lasted for over a week. Mr. Thomas had asked her several times why Charles wasn’t coming back to Los Angeles, and Sarah didn’t know what to reply to anymore. That night when he had followed her outside to the fountain, she had promised her father-in-law that she would talk to Charles and reconcile with him. But after Charles left that night and didn’t come back for over a week, she became discouraged, and Mr. Thomas started to doubt her.Was she not as good at making amends as she had made out to, or had she given him an empty promise? Whatever it was, he thought about her, and she couldn’t explain herself to him.
When she arrived at their house in Houston, she felt a little hesitant to walk in. The moment when she had stepped out of the taxi, she had started to falter. Looking at the door in front of her, she suddenly didn't know what to say to Charles. Would Charles think her cheeky to come without telling him?After a long hesitation, she grabbed her suitcase and took out the key to open the door. She was distraught to see Charles, but after entering the door, she was surprised not to find him home. She looked in every room but failed to find him. It was apparent that he hadn’t hired cleaning help. The house was very messy, dust was gathering on the furniture.Sarah sighed, disappointed that Charles wasn't at home. On the other hand, she could be relaxed without worrying about how to face him. After putting the suitcase in her room, she started to clean and tidy
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
