Sara hastily turned around, her eyes filled with urgency. "Yohan... something has happened to Rose. I'm sorry, I have to go. Please understand," she pleaded.Yohan gazed at her for a moment, his expression tense.It was already ten o'clock at night, and they were the only ones in the villa. Concerned for her safety, he furrowed his brow and abruptly tossed his cigarette aside."I'll drive you there.”Yohan swiftly left the bedroom, grabbing his car keys as he made his way towards the car.Sara followed closely behind, her heart pounding with worry.In the car, Yohan could sense the silent tears streaming down Sara Owen's face and her noticeable desperation to reach their destination.The vibration of her phone caught her attention, and she quickly wiped her tears before glancing at Yohan, who seemed disinterested in looking at her. With a sense of urgency, she opened the inbox and read the message from Kevin."Sorry for the delay. Had some urgent stuff. On my way back home now."Sara
Bruno, Natalie, Kevin, and Sara stood together in front of Rose's tombstone, dressed in melancholy black attire. Natalie's eyes were red and puffy from crying, while Sara's eyes remained dry, devoid of any tears. The wind tousled Sara's untied hair as they stood on the hill, surrounded by a peaceful silence. Sara let out a deep sigh and came to the elders.Sara, wiping away Natalie's tears, held her hands and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Don't cry, Aunt. Rose will never come back. At least now she has found peace from the pain she endured in her short life."Natalie shook her head, tears streaming down her face. Sara then approached Bruno, looking into his tear-filled eyes."I've signed the divorce papers and sent them to Yohan this morning. The summons of the court will come soon. I have no connection to him anymore. But you will always be my family."Bruno placed his hand on her head and nodded, his heart heavy with grief."I wish you a happy life ahead." He then turned to Kevin and sp
Natalie was shocked by Bruno's plea, and Neel angrily grabbed Bruno, pressing him against the wall."You deliberately let her go. You knew I wanted to make her my wife. Your daughter has caused me so much pain. And when her days of suffering arrived, you sent her away?" Neel seethed.Natalie, trying to intervene and protect Bruno, was forcefully pushed aside by Neel. She struggled to catch her breath, clutching her chest and glanced at her husband, whose frail heart was struggling to cope.Suddenly, a pair of sparkling black shoes caught her attention, and she froze in place. She recognized the person by those shoes, and her heart trembled at the sight of him in this chaotic situation.Yohan knelt down, took hold of her shoulders, and guided her to the couch."Ricky..." she sobbed, shaking her head.Hearing Natalie's distressed cry, Neel released his grip on Bruno's neck and turned around.Yohan's bloodshot eyes locked onto Neel, and then he glanced at Bruno, who was struggling for br
“She is left. Bruno says she will never come back.”Finally, he spoke, his voice tinged with a mix of sadness and uncertainty. "She will come to the court tomorrow. You can come and visit her if you want."With those words, Yohan flicked his cigarette away and turned to leave. Natalie called out to him, her voice filled with desperation."Ricky, please think once," she pleaded.Yohan paused for a moment, his conflicted thoughts noticeable on his face. Eventually, he left, his footsteps echoing in the quiet night, the lights of the water shimmering in the distance.Yohan reclined in the back seat of his sleek black luxury car, his eyes closed in deep thought. Nolan, glanced at him through the rearview mirror, observing his restlessness. The car sped along the empty road, the engine purring with power."Ricky, please think once," Natalie's words echoed in Yohan's mind, causing him to furrow his brow in irritation as he opened his eyes.Sensing his unease, Nolan decided to break the sil
The next morning…Sara reached the court on time.Assistant Nolan and the lawyer were already there, briefing her about what to expect. Sara remained composed, showing no signs of sadness.It was already half past ten, and Yohan hadn't arrived yet. Sara checked her watch and asked Nolan, "When is he going to show up?"Nolan replied, "I'll give him a call, Madam."He stepped away and dialled Yohan's number.Just then, a familiar white car pulled up, and Sara's expression changed. She approached Natalie and Bruno with a gentle smile and greeted them politely, "Aunt. Uncle. How are you doing?"Natalie hugged her tightly and asked, "How are you, my dear?""I'm doing fine," Sara replied. Then she looked at Bruno and her smile faded, "Uncle, you look weak. Are you okay?"Bruno placed his hand on Sara's head and smiled, "You know me.""What happened? Have you stopped taking your medication?" she asked with concern."No, Sara. Don't worry. It's just my blood pressure acting up. I'm fine other
The red sports car came to a stop in front of the entrance of Brooklyn Tower, and Kevin glanced at Sara, who was engrossed in reading a document file."Do you have all the documents?" he asked.Sara closed the file and met his gaze. "Yes, I have everything. But I'm still nervous. I indicated in the application that I am married. Now, suddenly being divorced, I don’t have marriage certificate to submit.""Don't worry about it. Trust me, the HR Department will assist you and won't give you any trouble over this. You can simply ask them to update your relationship status," Kevin assured her.Sara nodded, her smile gentle. "Thank you. I'll go now."Kevin checked his wristwatch and said, "It's three o'clock. You should be able to complete the formalities within two hours. Give me a call once you're done, okay? And don't hesitate to reach out to me if they give you any trouble.""Alright."With a warm smile, Sara Owen exited the car and entered the building. Kevin watched her until she disa
!!PRESENT!!Yohan let out a deep sigh.It felt as if that dreadful night had happened just yesterday. Easily kidnapping him, and beating him for six months, all in an attempt to force him to sign the property papers. And when he didn't give in, they resorted to kidnapping his pregnant wife.Yohan's mind was frozen as he struggled to understand who could have directed such a heinous act against him.At that moment, Assistant Nolan entered the conference room to inform Yohan that Leslie had arrived and was waiting for him in his cabin. But Yohan's intimidating presence made it clear to Nolan that it wasn't the right time to disturb him.Yohan lit a cigarette, taking long drags and blowing smoke into the air as if trying to alleviate the pain in his heart.The woman he cherished the most had betrayed him. It seemed like women were always capable of such things."Have you figured out whose island it is?" Yohan asked in a hoarse, heavy voice.Nolan trembled upon hearing his words, "Sir, we
“I want you to let go of Ricky's memories from your heart and consider my words."Sara's expression turned serious. They stopped walking, locking eyes with each other. Kevin's gaze held a spark of decision that bewitched her. "Ask, Kevin," Sara said, eager to know what he wanted to say.Kevin gazed deeply into Sara's eyes, holding her hand firmly. "Sara, you know how much you mean to me," he began. "I can't help but fall for you every single day. I want to be with you, to cherish every moment with you. Can you give me a chance to be the one who makes you smile and feel cherished, who wipes away all the pain from your heart?"Sara's heart was racing as she listened to Kevin's heartfelt words. Taking a deep breath, she finally replied, "Kevin, you have been a true friend to me, and I appreciate everything you've done. I'm just a divorced woman with no place in this world. I want to leave my past behind but I can't mess up your life by being with you, you kno
