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
Sarah was relieved to hear this. She boldly walked out from her hiding and walked up to the two men. Richard saw her and frowned deeply. There was this look on his face that suggested that he resented Samuel a lot now. "What are you still waiting for? Haven't you been paid your monthly salary? Leave immediately," he said. Doctor Sameul picked up his box, smiling. "You just can't accept the fact that I'll be having an appointment with your wife from now on, can you? You don't have to be so mean to me. I'm only doing my job. As a gynaecologist, I can't help seeing…" Richard furiously kicked Samuel out of the house. Although Samuel called it 'an appointment', Richard understood what he meant clearly. How could he talk about seeing his wife's nakedness so freely, did he want to die? He had only allowed Samuel to touch Sarah because he trusted him so much. Yes, there were so many female gynecologists but Richard didn't want to make the same mistake that he made in th
Neither Sarah nor Richard spoke to each other for a couple of days after this incident. In fact, the only time that Sarah saw Richard was either while he was going to work or coming back from work. They stopped sleeping and sharing the same room after the fight since Richard always brought his work home and worked overtime in his study daily. It seemed Richard was trying to bury all his anger in his work. The areas around his eyes had dark circles which suggested that he had not been sleeping properly. Sarah didn't even care about this. She didn't care to look at his face at all. Not after what he had done! Since Sarah couldn't go out or be visited, she always watched movies and tried as much as she could to ignore him whenever he was around . At times, nanny Vera kept her company and deliberately engaged her in discussions. As an elderly woman, she could vaguely tell that Mr. Wilson had indirectly confined Sarah to the house but couldn't tell why. Regardless of nanny Vera's effort
Sarah felt like throwing a punch at Richard. She tightened her hands into fists and stared daggers at him, pressing her lips tightly together. Richard didn't seem to be affected by Sarah's awful expression. He smirked as he squatted to Sarah's eye level, narrowing his eyes as if he was trying to check something on her. "You can't lose even an ounce of weight without my permission," he said softly, his breath on Sarah's face. Sarah shifted back subconsciously, her eyes very vigilant. Richard saw her little movement and smiled dryly at her. The beast in him was stirred by this subtle movement by her. He gracefully knelt on the bed with Sarah's waist under his loins. Sarah instinctively docked, her back lying further away from him and to the white wall as she propped herself up with both elbows resting on the bed. She gave Richard a wary look. She could no longer move her legs since they were already trapped between Richard's thighs. "What... what are you doing?" She
"You're welcome sir," nanny Vera greeted as Richard stepped into the living room. The servants had tidied everywhere up by now. Richard looked at the slightly empty living room with no form of expression on his face. The new center table that he recently bought was gone too. The maids thought that he would flare up by this great level of damage and might even throw their madam out and shivered uncontrollably. Elliot didn't disclose what Richard had said to him over the phone to any of them. After his call with Richard, he only instructed his colleagues to monitor their madam closely. What Richard said later shocked all of them. "Where's my wife?" He asked, looking at nanny Vara in particular with panic registered in his voice. Judging from what he saw, he feared that something bad might have happened to Sarah. The emptiness of the living room suggested that Sarah had lost control of herself earlier and might even try to hurt herself in the end. A wave of regret s
Since Sarah's body temperature had become normal again, Richard warmed the room up a little by increasing the AC to a higher temperature before going to the bathroom to take his bath. A few minutes after he came out from the bathroom, the doorbell rang and Richard walked to the door to answer it. Clara was standing there with a tray of food.He collected the tray that contained four different dishes from Clara and brought it to the bed. He drew the small black table in the room, about the height of the bed, out and placed the food on it. Sarah turned to face the other side of the bed when Richard brought the food to her. After Richard finished setting the table, he pulled a seat close to the bed and sat down, facing Sarah. "It's time to eat," he announced as if Sarah hadn't seen the food earlier. Sarah turned a deaf ear to him. Richard removed the lids of the plates. The food looked very sumptuous. "You don't want to get the food cold before eating, do you?" He ask
