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.
 
"How long have you stood there? How were you able to understand the situation that well? Perhaps, you heard our conversations right?" Richard asked."No, I didn't. I walked in immediately after I arrived. I could tell what Kimara was up to by her expressions. It was obvious that she wanted me to believe that you were both doing something intimate before I came in but I'm not as gullible as she's. I'm a seasoned detective, remember?"Sarah responded, smiling broadly.Richard didn't say anything immediately. He gave Sarah a melting kiss and said,&n
A black Ferrari pulled over inside the Wilson industry and a young man dressed in a white t-shirt, a flowered shorts and a white canvas alighted from the car and walked straight to the tall building.One could tell from his appearance that he was rebellious in nature and was from a very wealthy family. Kate stepped out of her car around the time that the young and polished man that appeared to have a strong taste for fashion, was making his way towards the office.He looked very familiar but Kate couldn't remember where she had seen him before.The two receptionists lost themselves while staring at the handsome man before them. They were used to seeing only overly serious-minded men, clad in suits walking around here. This was the firs
Richard studied the duo for a moment. He straightened up and said,"Since both of you are attracted to each other, you can both leave my office now. Go somewhere else and plan your wedding. Let me know when you pick a date, I'll take care of all expenses and prepare a huge dowry for her,"This brought Kate back to the present. Her face turned scarlet from embarrassment. She quickly looked away from Carson and retorted,"Whose wedding are you talking about? Since when did you learn to make expensive jokes?"Richard didn't reply to Kate. He gave Carson a warning gaze.&n
It was almost 6:40pm when they finished shopping. Although Sarah wanted to buy only a few items, in the end, she bought a lot more than she wanted to buy. Since she needed to drop Daisy, Sarah planned to drop the items she had bought first so Clara could make use of the fresh vegetables in preparing a nice soup before Richard returned from work then drop Daisy later.As Sarah drove into the villa, she saw the car that Richard had left the in the morning with, parked inside the garage. This meant that he had returned already and that he wouldn't be going out anymore. Sarah looked around and saw a white Ferrari parked at the far end, though outside the garage.They had a visitor? Who could that be? If only Richard informed her earlier that they would be having a visitor, she would have
Sarah drove back to the villa immediately after dropping Daisy. The white Ferrari was no longer there.'It seems Carson has left. Why did he leave so quickly?' Sarah said to herself before entering inside.Richard was working in his study. Sometimes, he would bring some of his work home when there were so many things to take care of in the office. He always tried to come home as early as possible these days.Sarah didn't knock when she got to the study room. She slowly pushed the door to the study open and walked inside with light steps so as not to disturb him. She would just take a look first. If Richard was very busy and didn't want to be disturbed, she would leave.R
On Wednesday morning, Richard left the country with some of his bodyguards, in his private jet for the business meeting but not without specifically instructing the guards in the villa to take care of Sarah and inform him if there was any problem.Because Richard arrived in China earlier than he expected, he instructed Kelly to move the meeting that was scheduled to hold on Friday to Thursday. Kelly quickly disseminated the information and the meeting was moved down to Thursday.On Thursday evening, Sarah and Daisy left together after work and to a popular clothes store to check out the dresses they would be wearing to the party with the guards trailing along. Sarah didn't try to stop the guards from following them as it didn't matter if they saw her shopping for clothes.
Because Samson was here, many of his friends gathered around the table too. Some had initially come to say one or two things to him but after seeing the two beauties at the table, they drew some seats out and sat down. In the end, What Sarah and Daisy had initially planned to be simple, turned out to be so festive. They all began to drink and chat merrily.Daisy's boss, Tyler, walked over to them, dressed in a plain suit that accentuated his fine physique, one hand in the pocket of his trousers. His hair was neatly trimmed and brushed backwards. He looked so captivating. Daisy made eye contact with Sarah and Sarah understood the message immediately.This was her boss, Tyler. The person that Daisy had been secretly crushing on. Well, he was worth the candle after all. He looked very polish
The car whizzed away at a very high speed. Sarah felt everything whirling around before her. Fear gripped her heart instantly. Sarah felt like the car would crash in no distant time.Richard didn't seem to care about this. He marched the accelerator and the car accelerated at a higher speed. Sarah could no longer hold on."Slow down please," Sarah cried out. Richard didn't even look her way. The car continued to fly at a high speed as if he was on a suicide mission."Please stop. I want to puke," Sarah said when she felt a nauseating sensation. Due to the speed of the car, she had breathed in so much air and this turned her tummy
Two months later, Richard was in his study, flipping through his files absent-mindedly when Frank entered. Richard hadn't gone to his office since Sarah left. He looked up, pursing his lips. His sunken eyes had lost the energy and brightness in them before and he looked haggard too. "I learnt you haven't been eating nor sleeping well lately. You need to stay alive first if you hope to see Sarah again," said Frank. He had gone back to his apartment immediately after Sarah left. Sarah had called Lucy and quickly employed her to take special care of her friend before leaving the country.Richard didn't say anything. "It has been two months, man. You need to brace up and discuss with your wife," "I can't, Frank. Sarah avoided me throughout my three weeks stay in London. She wouldn't even let me talk to her. I have had several interviews with different media to exonerate myself but it seems she has deleted me from her memory and doesn't even listen to any news
Sarah didn't care if she died or lived. She beat the traffic lights and didn't step on the break until she got to the clubhouse. She took an elevator and in no distant time, she was standing at the passage that led to Richard's private room here. Sarah didn't know whether to enter or just stand there.She knew that this would break her completely if it happened to be true that Richard was here with a woman. She really hoped that Kim was lying. Richard's personal bodyguards approached Sarah. They had been standing there even when Sarah walked in but Sarah was just too emotional to notice them. Her eyes reddened and her lips trembled when she saw them. This was actually true! He even instructed his guards to wait outside while…" Sarah broke into tears again. Some minutes later, she wiped her tears away and was determined to see Richard himself before leaving. The guards tried to stop her but couldn't. They didn't know what their master was doing with another lady inside but they knew
Richard was in a meeting when his phone rang, he picked up the phone and saw the caller's ID. He ignored the call but the caller wouldn't stop calling so he blocked the line instantly.A few minutes after the meeting, his phone rang again. It was a new number so he picked the call and listened. "You don't have to block my lines, we're not enemies. I only wanted us to talk for the last time," Richard recognized the voice immediately. "There's nothing to talk about, Kimara. I'm a married man now, remember?" Richard said, his voice very cold. "If you continue to treat me like an enemy, I might as well kill myself. I can't lose my childhood friend simply because he's married. Don't you care about how I'll feel if you cut me off abruptly?" "You'll surely get a good man that will genuinely love you, Kimara," said Richard. "I know that, okay? All I ask is just to speak to my friend for the last time. I heard your wedding ceremony is coming up in
The next day, Sarah prepared to leave for work, this time, she wasn't in a hurry. She was the director of this company now and so, she wasn't answerable to any person except the chairman of the company who happened to be her husband too. Every other person receives orders from her now. Sarah first went to the first floor to see Frank. After making sure that he was well taken care of, she left the villa in her new Ferrari.She drove into the parking lot and parked her car. When she alighted from the car, she saw some customers who parked their cars in the same parking space as hers, staring at her, awestruck. Sarah wondered why they were all staring at her. She thought briefly and realized that her car was the latest model and more expensive than every other car parked there.Sarah pretended she didn't notice their obvious gaze and walked into the mall. Sarah would have gone to her office which was located on the same floor as the CEO'S, through the private elevator but decided to se
Sarah was a bit tired now so Richard supported her as they alighted from the car. What she initially thought to be a mere interview later turned out to be so fun. She was truly happy to see all the people that came to the office today. It was more like a social gathering of family and friends than ordinary refreshment.Mrs. Harriet and Kate were solidly behind her and gave Sarah their full support. This mattered to Sarah the most. Initially, she thought that they would not like the idea of Richard making her his director instead of choosing his only sibling, Kate and that this might cause a rift within their family. Now, she realized how wrong she was. They were not only happy that she was chosen but even came to give her their full support. She was just so lucky to be a member of this wonderful family. Sarah was all smiles as they headed inside. There was a huge object covered with a tarpaulin before them. Sarah looked up and saw this. Two bodyguards walked towards the object and c
There was a little surprising event after the media interviews. Sarah didn't know that Richard invited his family over including Carson and Daisy. She was surprised when she saw them enter the conference hall, their faces beaming with smiles. Sarah was too surprised for words. She just stared at them, not knowing what to say. Sarah looked at Richard who was standing beside her and saw him smiling.Everyone of them had a congratulatory package for her. They approached Sarah and gave her warm hugs one after the other then handed the presents to her. "Today is not yet my wedding day, why do you all have so many gifts?" Sarah uttered when she found her tongue. "Silly, must we get you presents only on your wedding day? It's good enough that you both have decided to act mature and make your marriage public. At least, I can proudly introduce you to all and sundry now," Mrs. Harriet said happily. Bella, Ava and some other female employees that were on morning shift were ca
Inside Richard's office, Sarah was sitting on a swivel chair while Richard sat opposite her. Sarah seldomly wore heels and usually felt uncomfortable whenever she did. So immediately they entered Richard's office, she kicked her heels away so her feet could feel the fresh air inside the room. Richard brought her feet to his thighs and gently massaged them. Sarah wanted to stop him but Richard wouldn't listen to her. "I have told you before, you don't have to wear this if you feel uncomfortable in them," Richard reminded her. Sarah pouted her lips and said, "How can a woman not wear heels from time to time? Every great woman that ever existed on this planet wore heels at least, throughout their youthful age and on occasions like this. I just have to wear them more often so I can get used to them," Richard stared at Sarah as if he had just seen an idiot and gave her a light knock on the head. Sarah grimaced, holding the spot and giving him a belligerent look.
An information was sent to the news media from the Wilson's public relations officer that Mr. Wilson was going to speak on his new stock, make a special announcement and also reveal the new director of his personal companies which comprised about 15 large malls, 8 hotels and so many other assets. The formal public statement would be made in two days' time. On D-Day, Sarah walked into the mall, hand in hand with Richard. She was dressed in a scarlet sleeveless short gown and a grey colored fluffy jacket then pencil black heels, her hair smoothly combed into a ponytail. Her face stood out like a painting, her eyes looking so bright and charming. Sarah looked completely stunning.The young polished man beside Sarah was a perfect description of a demigod. His face was extremely attractive, his lips so sexy and inviting. His deep sea blue eyes were a sight to behold. He was dressed in a well ironed grey suit with no single wrinkle on it, a white dress shirt inside then grey and striped ti
It had been a week now since Sarah was discharged from the hospital. She was much stronger now and could walk around. Sarah was 7 weeks and three days gone now. Since she came back from the hospital, she hadn't experienced the morning sickness again. Sarah was happily knitting a bobble hat in the garden, Richard sitting a few inches away from her and going through his laptop when Kate drove into the compound. Richard looked up and saw Kate, dressed in a white evening gown with a black handbag between her fingers as she made towards them. Sarah followed his line of sight and was surprised to see Kate. She didn't inform them that she was coming today. It was indeed a surprise visit. Sarah stood up immediately to receive her. "Look at you, you look so beautiful and healthy now, Sarah!" Kate exclaimed. She hadn't seen Sarah since she was discharged from the hospital. She only came back from Dubai two days ago. Although Sarah always told her that she was fine whenever she calle
