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.

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
Richard entered the bedroom, his eyes blazing with anger. The smell of strong alcohol and cigarettes filled the room immediately he entered. Sarah was wrapped in a white towel and was standing before a mirror, drying her hair. She blinked her big eyes warily when she saw him and noticed his cold gaze on her, afraid that he might try to devour her at any time. "Let's settle this," he said, looking at Sarah menacingly. He took a few steps towards Sarah and Sarah subconsciously walked backwards, tightening her grip on the hairdryer in her hand. She subconsciously held the hairdryer tightly and carefully studied Richard's every move. Richard looked at the hairdryer in her hand then back to her face. "What? You want to hit me with that? Are you scared of me now?" He asked coldly as he took a few more steps closer. Sarah could tell that something was off about him. He probably had too much alcohol or something. "No, no. I...I was just drying my hai
At dawn, Sarah woke up and saw Richard still lying beside her, his arms on her waist. He looked completely breathtaking as he slept peacefully by her side. Instinctively, Sarah ran her fingers on his thick eyebrows, admiring its texture. Her eyes went down to the hair on his bare chest and she gently stroked it. Richard blinked his eyes open and caught Sarah stroking the hair on his chest admiringly "It seems your appetite for it waxed stronger these days, woman," he teased.Sarah understood what he meant and flushed from embarrassment. She withdrew her hand from his body instantly. Richard gave her a warm smile. "Don't worry, I'm all yours and will make sure I satisfy you always," he lifted Sarah up and brought her over himself. Sarah opened her mouth to refute him but only gasped in the end as his body had found hers and had begun to drive her crazy again. "I'm sorry for everything," Sarah whispered into Richard's ears. Richard stared into her eyes and s
One week later, nanny Vera received her salary and happily shared the good news with Sarah when she came back from work. "It's all thanks to you, Mrs. Wilson," she said happily. Sarah smiled tiredly. She had worked herself out in the office today and just needed a good rest. Clara served her a glass of warm milk and Sarah drank it in one gulp then went upstairs for a cool shower. After taking her bath, she slipped her legs off her slippers and threw herself on the bed like a sack of potatoes. She was completely exhausted after working tirelessly in the office, bringing out goods from the warehouse. The cosmetic section usually had so many goods to shelve and since Sarah was 'the last born' as she was fondly called in her section, she was usually assigned to help them out. When Richard came back, he saw Sarah sprawled on the bed. He quietly had his bath and joined her on the bed. Around 2am, his body strangely felt uncomfortable. He had become so used to having his woman ev
Sarah looked in the direction of the master bedroom upstairs as she parked her car in the garage and saw the dim light from the window. She looked at her time. 'Richard is probably inside by now if he's not working in his study'. Sarah found herself thinking. She bent slightly to gather the hem of her light blue flowy silk gown and walked inside. Nanny Vera came out from the kitchen at the same time that Sarah walked in and politely greeted Sarah. "You must be feeling very cold. I'll instruct Clara to heat a glass of milk for you. It'll be ready in a few minutes," said nanny Vera. "No need. I can make do with warm water instead," Sarah said. Nanny Vera went in again and brought a glass of warm water for Sarah. "Mr. Wilson is working with Kelly in his study. It seems he has a lot to take care of. He's been there for hours now," said nanny Vera. She knew Sarah would inquire about him so she readily explained before Sarah did. "Okay," Sarah said as
"There's no approved or standard liquid contraceptive yet. This is traditional and over-the-counter medicine, isn't it?" Richard asked, his eyes blazing with anger. Sarah tightened her hands on her white bathrobe and was nervously looking at the ground, appearing like a little child who was caught stealing a piece of meat from a pot. She heard about the effectiveness of this local liquid through an online post made some time in the past and had been taking it for a long time now. She only took contraceptive pills at the early stage of their relationship and during emergencies when she could not find the traditional medicine. Because of the increasing demand of this local contraceptive, some small chemist shops had started selling it secretly since it wasn't a licensed product yet. "Ye...yes," Sarah stammered. She wished that the earth could open and swallow her instantly. She wished she could crawl into the ground and bury herself there. Sarah didn't expect that R
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
