"Wh... what's going on between me and Miss Mary, boss?" Jonah asked while keeping a clueless face on but King could see everything beyond that face.

"What do you think of me, Jonah? That without you I don't have any connections with the world, huh?" King asked with raised eyebrows, making him nervous. 

"No, no, no, King! That's not what I meant!" Jonah instantly tried to explain himself but King cut him off with another laugh. Jonah stopped fumbling with words and looked at him with a frown. "Are you pulling my legs?" He asked which made King laugh more.

"Oh damn! You should have seen your face!" King said and kept laughing.

"Fine, fine! Laugh as much as you want to. I will have my days too and that day I will be laughing till my heart is full and you won't be able to say anything. That day even your bossy attitude won't work because I will only abide by 'Your boss' from then on. Then yo

    "Hello, Mary. How's everything?" Sarah asked on the phone while walking in the corridor of Watson mansion. "I have everything set, Sarah. Did you get the file from the mansion?" Mary asked from the other side of the phone. Sarah has come to the mansion to take a file from Helena Watson for the business which she inherited for the race. "Yes, I got it. I am going to the nursery now. How about you meet me there?" Sarah asked. "Perfect, I will meet you there in one hour." Mary said and after that they kept the call. Sarah put the phone inside her suit pocket before going through the file roughly about the company. She didn't notice the person coming from the other hand and soon enough, she bumped into the person and walked a few steps back by force. Thankfully she didn't lose her balance. "What the hell, Sarah?! Can't you see

    IN THE NURSERY "Hey, I didn't know you were going to be here too?" Sarah asked in surprise while walking toward Mary and her husband who were engaged in a light conversation. "Hey, wifey!" Elijah came forward with a big happy smile which immediately filled her heart and she felt happy within. He opened his arms wide open to scoop her in. "Hey, husband." She mumbled and immediately reached him to get cocooned in his safe embrace. She inhaled his rich scent and calmed her nerves down. She hugged him warmly when he returned and gave a kiss at the crown of her head. They seem to be lost in each other and totally forgot about Mary who was standing there awkwardly. Mary seemed to notice that too and cleared her throat loud enough to make them realise her presence. That seemed to work and they both pulled away from each other and looked at her with a smile. They were still side hugging e

    "Can you remove the blindfold now? I am getting impatient now." Sarah whined like a child as Elijah kept guiding her toward the place where he prepared the surprise for her. "Just a few more minutes, dearest. We are there already." Elijah said with a chuckle and kept guiding her toward the place. After a few more steps, they stopped somewhere and Sarah sighed in relief. But soon a sweet smell came to nostrils, making her take some big satisfying sniff from the air. "Where are we, Elijah? I smell satisfaction!" She exclaimed in happiness while taking some more sniffles like a rabbit, looking really cute at that moment. Elijah laughed hearing her choice of words. She is too cute sometimes! "Open the blindfold already, Elijah!" She said, getting impatient. "Calm down, little rabbit." He said with a small chuckle before proceeding to fulfill her demand by opening her blindfold.

    "Wh… what do you mean?" Sarah asked in an uneven tone. She was taken aback by the blankness in Elijah's tone. Her innocent questions seemed to trigger something inside him and he let out a frustrated sigh and ran his fingers through his hair. Sarah suddenly remembered that day's event when they went on the date and he suddenly became somebody else. She got scared somewhat thinking he is going to react the same way today too. She went completely silent and looked down while taking a step away from him. Elijah noticed all her actions and also read the fear in her eyes and felt more frustrated toward himself. He took some deep breaths to calm himself down but he couldn't but at that moment all he could do was change his expression back to normal. He took a step toward her. Good thing he didn't flinch away from her. He calmly got a hold of her upper arms and pulled her closer to him. Then he proceeded

    "Jordan, can you calm down and tell me what happened? Why are you so angry?" Helena asked her youngest grandson who was pacing around angrily, not listening to her any words. "I can't calm down, grandma! I can't calm down! It's getting on my nerves. I can't bear it anymore." Jordan exclaimed as he stopped, paced around and sat on the chair in front of Helena. They were in Helena's office room, her safest place where no one can enter without her permission and is heavily guarded from outside. There is no way possible that anything will go outside this room. "You can't bear what anymore, Jordan?" She tried to ask him once again and this time he decided to answer. "Sarah." He voiced out the name with so much venom and hatred, if anyone other than Helena was present there, they would have pinched themselves to see if they weren't dreaming. I can't bear her anymore, grandma. "I c

  • An Unwanted Marriage: A Billionaire's Revenge    A glimpse of past

    A boy around the age of eight was running as fast as his small legs could. He wasn't even looking back and was running with all the dedication and passion in the world while chanting only one thing in his mind. 'I have to survive. I will not let them destroy me. I have to survive to take revenge. I will take revenge for everything that is taken away from me. I will return and take my revenge.' The more he reminds himself of those words, the faster his legs work in the dark night. He was running through the jungle, cutting himself with the fallen branches here and there but he didn't care. He soon noticed the road and a smile came up on his face. He was now at the other side of the city, far enough from that burning fire. Now he is safe or he thought so. Soon a blaring sound came from his left and a blinding light came from the car which was approaching him at full speed. And within a few seconds….

    "Hey, what are you doing?" Sarah asked as soon as he picked up the phone. "I... Uhh... Running around for job interviews." Elijah answered in an uncertain voice which she thought because he was embarrassed hence she didn't ask about it more. "Don't stress over it much, Elijah. It will be alright. You will definitely find something. Take care of yourself." She said in a caring tone. "I will, dearest." He replied in a happy tone. "Good. Have you had your lunch?" Sarah asked while looking at the table clock which was showing it was lunch time. "No, I didn't but from that I remember. I have sent lunch for you. Did you get it yet?" He asked, making her feel warm. "You did? No, I didn't get it yet. It must be on the way." She said with a shrug while looking outside the glass window to see if anyone's coming with the food co

    "That was so good, Sarah! I can't believe you were keeping this heaven away from me all these days! Now, after having it, I definitely can't guarantee you if it's going to be the last time." Mary said while relishing the memory of the heavenly food in her mind. "In your dream." Sarah said with a smirk before taking a gulp of water. "No, seriously. He is such a good cook. Where did he learn to cook like this? Is he a professional cook?" Jonah asked while appreciating the food cooked by Elijah truthfully. Sarah was confused after hearing his question. How strange! Why did this question never come to her mind? These questions were really basic yet important. She doesn't know how he learnt to cook so deliciously. She doesn't know if he is a professional cook or not but he could definitely be a professional cook! That's such a great idea. Why didn't it come to her mind befo

Elijah, who was lost in deep thoughts, came back to the world and looked at them in a little shock.There was Jonah, Mary, Nick and Natasha who one after another said and asked those things. All of their faces were filled with worry and fear.But among them, Natasha's expression surprised him a lot. It looks like she cried on her way here. She was that scared for Sarah!

Natasha exclaimed once again as she shook him.He looked at her with a small frown looking at the closed hospital door with a clenched jaw."Sarah is in there,

    “Where is Sarah?” Elijah asked with a frown as he looked around the room, looking for her frantically. “Who are you looking for, sir?” A doctor asked in confusion after coming forward. “Sarah! Where is she?” Elijah asked in a panicked tone as he just remembered her. He remembered that she didn’t sound good when they were talking on the phone. She must be in some danger. He felt like beating himself up for forgetting about her. “Who is Sarah,sir?” The doctor asked in a fearful tone. “The one who called me to inform me about Eliana! She was here. I heard you guys when we were on a call. Where is she now?” He asked at the top of his voice. The doctor got scared once again. “We didn’t see anyone when we came here, sir. We got busy with Miss Eliana as soon as we entered the room.” The doctor said and he let out a frustrated groan. “Only god

    Elijah felt like his whole body was going to turn cold in anticipation and fear. He tried to call Sarah quite a few times. It kept ringing but no one picked it up. He called the guards as well but no one was picking up the call. He gritted his teeth hard in anger. He was going to kill all of them. He reached the hospital and ran inside it, leaving the car unattended, without parking. He ran toward the elevator to find it taking longer to come down as usual but he didn't have much time. So, he ran toward the stairs to take it to reach the floor where his sister was. Hopefully Sarah was there too. "Oh god! Please let both of them be safe. They both mean a lot to me. They are my everything. Please god. I have begged you for a lot of time but he never showed any mercy but please just this one." He prayed loudly and frantically as he ran upstairs. He was breathless by the time he reached the floor. His heart start

    Sarah forgot about everything else at that moment and walked toward the hospital room as fast as she could. She came to meet Eliana. She was supposed to stay there with Eliana for a few minutes before going to the office. She had a really important meeting today which she can't postpone or delay anymore because that's going to mess up her schedule. As she neared the room, she suddenly felt a bad energy coming from the room. The feeling was nerve wracking. It made her heart beat badly, for some negative vibe. She felt so scared suddenly and she didn't know why she was feeling so but it made her want to curl in some corner. It was so so bad! She slowly advanced to the room where Eliana was. Her heart was still beating crazily while her leg was wobbling. Her hand was shaking as she put her hand on the handle. She took some deep breaths. She looked back at the guards and they were still looking at their front with no expressions on their fac

    THE NEXT MORNING "Good morning, beautiful." Sarah rolled her eyes at his new nickname and cheekiness. "Good morning, Mr King. Can you please tell me where you find such nicknames every new day?" Sarah asked with a sigh while walking through the hospital corridor. "Well, that's for me to know and you to find out." He said with the same level of cheekiness. She shook her head at him. "How are you today?" He asked after a few seconds. "I am good." She answered in a casual tone. "Are you happy?" He asked once again, making her confused. "Why are you asking that?" She asked with a raised eyebrow which obviously he couldn't see. "Well, you got your husband, your love." He stated and she let out a chuckle. "I am not even going to ask

    "What is this man doing here? I just lost my appetite!" Samantha exclaimed like a spoiled brat as soon as she saw Elijah sitting on the dining table. Sarah frowned at her while holding Elijah's hand under the table. But she didn't say anything. "What's there to lose appetite, Samantha? Because as far as I remember about your desert preferences a few months ago-..." Natasha couldn't complete her sentence as Samantha's glare shut her up so she just smirked at her in reply. "Don't you think you have started talking too much these days? Are you sure it's good for your health and peace?" Samantha asked Natasha in a mean tone. "Oh don't worry about my health and peace. I belong to the group of those people who ruin other people's health and peace. So, I know how to protect mine well." Natasha replied back sassily while smirking at Samantha while Samantha was fuming in anger.

    "Hello, Jordan. I am very happy to see you but I would have been happier if you had knocked before entering the room." Helena said in pure sarcasm, making Jordan wonder from where does this woman get all this humour. But he was too furious to care about that at that moment. "That bastard is playing a double game with us." He growled in fury as he slammed on the sofa where Elijah was seated previously. "Who are you talking about? And why do you sound so furious?" Helena asked, suddenly getting serious. "I am talking about your so-called master pawn! That damn driver, Elijah. He is playing some double game with us and that makes me furious." He said with gritted teeth, making her look at him with a deeper frown. "What are you talking about?" She asked in a blank tone. "I was just outside the door when you were talking with him." He said and before

    ON THE OTHER SIDE "May I come in, ma'am?" Elijah knocked on the door. "Come in, Elijah." Helena spoke up with a small and it creeped Elijah so bad that he felt a shiver run past his spine. He kept his face blank as he got inside the room. It wasn't her office room this time, it was her bedroom. It made the situation more awkward for Elijah. He didn't close the door behind him this time. "Good evening, ma'am." He greeted her politely and she nodded at him with the same smile. "Very good evening, Elijah. I am seeing you after so long. How are you?" She asked in a tone as if she was his biggest well-wisher. "Thank you for asking, ma'am. I am good. I hope the same for you." He said in a low tone while looking down on the floor. "I am good as well, as you can see." She said with a smile. "Why don't you take a seat?" She as

    "Now, tell me, what's going on?" Sarah asked as soon as they were inside Natasha's room and closed the door behind. They both took a seat on her bed and Sarah patiently waited for Natasha to open her mouth. But she sat there silently, looking down at her hands, without letting out a single word. Sarah looked at her with a worried frown. "Natasha? Is everything alright?" She asked slowly, in a tone filled with nothing but worry."I don't know, Sarah. My life is in a mess currently and I don't know what to do." Natasha said in agony while breaking down completely. Sarah's eyes widened and she was quick to lean forward and hug her tightly."Oh my god, Natasha! Please don't cry. Everything is going to be alright. Please stop crying." Sarah cooed in a caring tone while rubbing her back soothingly to calm her down.Natasha cried hugging Sarah back, without saying anything and Sarah understood that she needed time.
