Kate hesitated for a while. She leaned over the thick desk and thought for a moment. It was very obvious that she didn't want to accept the deal but couldn't help it. If only she had a choice, she would have told Richard, in disguise as Carson, to go to the nearest hell with his deal and would destroy both he and Sarah at once.
Kate looked up, face covered with total confusion and said in a voice that she couldn't believe was hers,
"What do you stand to gain from this?" She wasn't clear why anyone would spend such a huge resources without hoping to reap its returns.
"Nothing. I only want to make s
The cameras clicked continuously, immediately Kate stepped out of the hotel, producing a blinding light that made Kate's vision blurry and disordered sounds that could make one go deaf.The reporters had gotten wind of the information that she had come here today to join in the meeting of the shareholders so they had trailed her. Kate had been successfully avoiding every interview since the supposed death of Richard and was always very careful so as not to run into them but it seemed luck ran out of her today.Kate didn't know what to do now. She could neither go back into the hotel nor walk out through the thick crowd that had gathered.She thought for a while. She could only brace up and take their questions one by one so
The next day, Kate rang "Carson" up. She sounded very enthusiastic over the phone."About 10 members of the shareholders have agreed to sell their shares to you. They just left my office!" She announced happily."Oh, that's nice," Richard said.Kate couldn't contain her excitement."Can you come over to the office later in the day, let's grab some lunch and a couple of drinks together?" She happily invited him."You can't throw a p
"Go on," Richard commanded in a deep voice as he sat down on a couch."Sir, the CJ corporation and William group collaborated recently in a shady deal. According to my source, the deal was signed and sealed in abroad by the two parties," the caller paused."Continue," Richard impatiently urged him."They both plotted against you even though the chairman of the CJ corporation solely spearheaded its execution. Also, I found out that the William group specializes in producing firearms and that the company belongs to the son of late Prof. William, the late mi
Well, it wasn't like Sarah had anywhere to go even if she wanted to. Although Sarah dearly wanted to shop for groceries as there was none in the house, she didn't know how long they would be staying here so stocking the fridge up would be a total waste of money of which she had a serious allergy for. They had been ordering their food from a food delivery company.Sarah threw her phone on the bed and went into the bathroom to freshen up. After washing up, she quickly had her breakfast. Since she couldn't visit nor call Daisy or Frank to come over and keep her company, she resorted to watching the television.She kept changing the channels and didn't seem to have interest in any of the programs showing. She sighed deeply when she changed to a comic channel and saw the comic character stealing candies i
The sweet memories of the past swept across Sarah's heart as she stepped out of the car and into the large beautiful patio. Sarah knew that she missed the villa a lot but didn't realize that it was this much. Richard and her had stayed here long enough to create an unforgettable memory. There was no place like home, indeed.Elliot rushed forward to welcome Sarah. He helped her carry her things inside. Sarah stared at the familiar environment for a moment before walking inside. Kate had instructed that they do not allow Sarah into the villa whenever she came around and had planted someone among the guards to keep watch.Richard's bodyguards were strictly trained to obey only the orders that were directly from their boss or whoever he chose by himself and this was just one of the occasions where they w
"Sir, may I request that you provide us with any evidence to support the claim that you're the "supposed dead Mr. Wilson?"The first reporter courteously asked. He didn't want to provoke him as he feared that he might really be Mr. Wilson judging from his voice and charisma. He probably went for facial surgery after the accident and that was why his face was different.The first reporter was a worker in one of the most prominent media houses and had interviewed Richard before on business matters so he could tell that Carson's voice was the same as Mr. Wilson's.Mr. Carr flared up and said angrily&nb
Sarah heard the sound of a car entering into the compound and looked out through the transparent sliding door to see if Richard had returned. It wasn't Richard but Mrs. Harriet. She stood up at once to receive her mother in law. She hadn't seen Mrs. Harriet for a long time now so she was naturally very happy to see her. Mrs. Harriet rushed inside in long strides."Come here my daughter," she said when she entered the living room. Sarah walked to her and she hugged Sarah tightly."I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. I just knew that you wouldn't run away with another man when my supposed son's body hadn't been buried yet. Who would have thought that the man with you in those pictures is actually
The next morning, Sarah woke up very early. Since everything had returned to normal, she couldn't wait to resume work anymore. She had missed her new job so much and was exceptionally happy this morning as she cheerfully prepared for work. After taking her breakfast, she grabbed her bag and was about to dash out when Richard stopped her."I'll drop you," he said as he stood up too. Sarah frowned slightly and said,"Aren't you going to work too? You'll be late if you drop me before going. Don't worry about me, just go ahead, I'll take a cab," she said convincingly and was about to run out when Richard grabbed her hand.
