KaelShe looked at me lingeringly, and once again, I held back from doing something I would regret later. I needed Ryan to resolve that issue as quickly as possible, I thought, given the maid's delay in following my simple command."I believe you are aware that Mr. Davis personally took the girl to her address last night," she said.That information caught me completely off guard, and it burned in my chest in a way I had never felt before, unable to explain what I was feeling in response to that revelation."And?" I asked."Just that, sir," she spoke, intimidated by my response."I believe there's more to say," I pressed."No, sir. That's it," she replied, now sounding embarrassed. "I just thought you should know.""And why did you assume that I wouldn't be aware of the fact?" I wanted to know what she intended with that."Mr. Davis has never been responsible for accompanying your guests to their homes before. So, I just... found it strange," the more she spoke, the more her voice fad
SarahMy sister sat down on the bed, and I thought she was about to resort to tears again, but she didn't."How am I going to get the loan shark's money?" she asked aloud, but I imagined it was a rhetorical question."Why don't you simply try to sell the apartment you bought?" I pointed out the obvious."You don't understand, do you, Sarah?" She looked at me angrily, and I just shrugged. "I'll never be able to repay this debt by working like some miserable nobody.""I've lost so much in this whole ordeal," I spoke with disgust. "My stance is that you should sell the apartment, give the entire sale amount to the loan shark, and we'll figure out the rest."Rachel quickly stood up, as if she had just had an idea, and I feared she would go even further with all this madness that had become our lives."I'm going to the nightclub. I'll try to find out something about that night I was there," she explained what she was thinking. "You need to come with me, Sarah.""Well, then you'll have to f
RachelThe woman looked me up and down, and for a moment, I thought she would say a firm no, but she surprised me by returning my smile and responding with the same enthusiasm."Hello! It's a pleasure to see you here again," she said, seemingly sincere. "I hope you're doing well, girl."Ah, so she remembers that night perfectly."Rachel. My name is Rachel," I extended my hand for a handshake."I'm Bruna," she accepted the handshake, squeezing my hand warmly."Can we talk for a bit?"Bruna nodded with a serious look, indicating that she was willing to talk. I introduced her to Sarah, and she invited us to a small lounge in the corridor near the bathrooms.As I had suspected, Bruna confirmed that she noticed I wasn't just under the influence of alcohol that night."I realized that your friend was trying to get you drunk. She was acting strangely and put something in your drink when you weren't looking."My eyes widened with surprise, and Sarah's eyes grew even larger than mine. I had no
KaelI let out a hearty laugh, attempting to disguise my true state of mind. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing how close he was to the truth.Ever since I was with Sarah on the yacht, I can't get her out of my head, that was the truth. The fact that it would interfere with my plans was what wasn't right. I would go through with my plan because even though the night on the yacht was completely different from what I had imagined, the result was as expected. Rachel didn't fulfill her part, and I wasn't going to give her the two million dollars, which was precisely what I intended from the beginning.However, none of this had happened so far, and my pressure on Ryan, the person I trusted most after my mother, only worsened the situation. He seemed to come up with explanations that sounded like excuses, whic
SarahI looked at the man sitting on the small, uncomfortable couch in the cramped living room and sighed with displeasure."I don't understand why you're here," Rachel commented. "If you work for that jerk, why did you come?""I work for Kael Graham, but that doesn't mean I'm like him," Ryan responded, unshaken. "I like Sarah, and I want to help her.""You can help by convincing your sleazy boss to pay my two million. It's quite simple."Ryan rolled his eyes with annoyance, not even bothering to hide it, facing Rachel's persistence about the auction money, and I felt completely embarrassed to have to be reminded of that matter."Can we talk somewhere else, Sarah?" he said, making it even
RachelI wondered where my supposed fortune and millionaire husband was, as we only reap what we sow. At just twenty-two years old, I was fully aware of the many mistakes I had made. I recognized that my motivation had been selfishness, without considering the consequences for others. Now, I found myself facing the situations resulting from these misguided actions. I wondered where my supposed fortune and millionaire husband was, as we only reap what we sow.I decided to act and play by the rules set by Kael Graham, who had no idea what I was capable of doing to achieve my desires. I was determined to have him in my hands. However, a slip-up resulted in the loss of my safety net due to my father's death, leaving me vulnerable and falling into a trap prepared by Kael Graham and Shirley. I lost all the people who were associated with me and were always willing to do ever
KaelAll the composure I was trying to maintain vanished as Rachel made it clear that Sarah wasn't just a pawn in the game but an active and aware participant. I felt betrayed because until then, I believed Sarah had agreed to replace her sister out of fear that something bad would happen to Rachel if she didn't fulfill the agreement with the loan shark.It had never crossed my mind that Sarah was doing all of this purely for money. This revelation contradicted the image I had of her entirely. However, upon objective reflection, I realized it was easier to be detached from material possessions when one had abundance and lacked nothing. Sarah only showed her true colors when confronted with life's difficulties. Now, it was evident that she was as opportunistic as Rachel herself."If you prefer to think that way, I won't be t
SarahToday was the last deadline to pay the interest on the money Rachel had borrowed in an act of extreme madness. When I woke up, I realized my sister wasn't at home, and it made me extremely anxious.My mind filled with catastrophic thoughts, making me feel dizzy. I ended up lying back down because I couldn't even sit on the couch while waiting for Rachel to return.Two hours passed, and she didn't answer my calls, which truly worried me. Where could Rachel be?I felt so unhappy, with no perspective of a solution to so many problems, and decided I should insist with the calls when my phone notified a new message. It was from Rachel.I remembered what happened last time I tried to help Rachel get out of her problems, and a chill o
