Sarah's POVStacey walked in with another new pile of work making me extra furious. "Again?" I exclaimed, staring at it and hoping someone would come take me out of my misery.Stacey nodded, "Sadly, there's more."I groaned out loud, dropping my pen on the table."Shift the meeting with those willing to buy some of our company's shares forward. I'll deal with all these later. Tell them I'll be ready in 30 minutes time." I said, suddenly losing interest in having more paperworks checked and signed.Now that Stacey already mentioned my dad again, I wanted to go see him badly. "Please schedule a meeting with Mr Rodriguez tomorrow." I instructed and she immediately pen down what I just said."Alright, thank you."I leaned back on my chair watching Stacey leave my office. I needed to relax a bit. I dropped my pen back on the table and rose up on my feet. Adjusting my gown properly, I walked towards the door and exited the office.Stepping out of the company to go get a cup of Americano
Sarah's POVI opened my eyes with a slight headache to find myself in a hospital. Staring around me, someone was seated at the other end."You're awake." He said, staring at me with his fingers folded together.I sat upright to give him a closer look."Mr Mason?" I called in shock, as I couldn't believe what I was seeing.He rose up on his feet and walked towards me. "You can call me Mason. I guess our supposed meeting ended up in a hospital." "I don't understand, how?"I suddenly recalled,"Were you the one who saved me?" I questioned, touching my head as the headache turned worse."I wouldn't use the word save. Let's just say I helped you." He replied.I chuckled, "Thank you very much.""You must have been in a lot of shock, are you alright?" I groaned suddenly, recalling that I had left so many things behind in the office. Stacey, my meeting, "Shit!" I groaned, standing up on my feet."I really have to go now. Thank you so much for saving me. I'll thank you properly if we get to
Sarah's POVI walked into the room and took my seat. All the board members including my mother was present.I could feel her hard and cold stare at me, but I didn't care one bit about it."I'll be digging out some dirts from the past very soon, especially those one that affected the company really bad which my father failed to notice." I started.They all cock their heads towards one another murmuring in quiet tones to each other."Also, so many rules and regulations will be changed here. The company's budget is a mess and we'll need more budgets as well as investors. Furthermore, half of the company's profit this year will go to it's budget and this might affect the percentage share of each and every share holders here."Their murmurs even became louder than before. None of them cared about the company. All they were bothered about was making their money and exploiting from it as well.My father might not have taken corrections to that, but I won't sit back and watch these greedy peo
Becky's POVClark walked in, with a lady walking side by side with him. I looked through my window staring at them as they walked in.This wasn't my main concern anymore. I had decided to stop caring the very moment I knew he was nothing more than a monster. Gripping my curtains tight, I only thought about my freedom far away from the devil I call a husband.I wanted to be free from Clark, free to live the right way this time. I shut back my window and sat down on the bed thinking about every possible way I could expose Clark, and leave this marriage for good.Alejandro was the only person that kept crossing my mind even though I kept trying to discard him from my mind as well.He seems like a gentleman, and so I didn't want to make use of him for my selfish purpose. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I had an abusive husband who was keeping me captive against my own freedom.I decided to let go of every thought of asking him for help, but it seemed impossible. I had no one el
Hayden's POVRay brought in the package that Clark had sent and dropped it on the table. I stared at it for a while before deciding to open it up.When I opened it, they were all pictures in there. Pictures of my childhood days, and the years I was in the orphanage after my parents death.Considering what I was seeing, it was clear that he had no idea where I was truly from, or my family background yet, but I knew he would find out soon enough.I continued staring at everything, trying not to be angry or let his child games affect me"He requested for a meeting as well Hayden, what'd you think?" I heaved, and then gathered all the pictures together."Let him come Ray, it doesn't matter so long he doesn't know everything yet." I replied."You sure?" Ray questioned again.I nodded my head, "Yeah. I should probably give him a taste of his own medicine as well.""Alright. But Sarah..""Leave Sarah to me, I'll take care of her so she wouldn't find out anything till my plans are completed.
Hayden's POVClark and I stared at each other for about five minutes before he broke the silence.I'm here. I guess my package was delivered to you." He said.I scoffed out loud. "I'm listening, what is it you want from me?" I questioned."What a tricky way to start a conversation Mr Smith. I must say, I do admire your courage and how you tend to handle things most times." He replied, but I remained silent waiting for an answer to the question I had asked.He leaned back on the seat to relax."I would have requested for a million dollars, or a contract deal with you, this time my rules, but I need something else.""Go ahead." I answered, patiently waiting for him to say those words that I was well aware he would say."End your contract marriage with Sarah, and back away from her." He said.This got me laughing so hard. I was usually always the serious type, but today was exceptional for me."Why should I?" I questioned."You don't love her. I know you only want something from her."I
Hayden's POVRay rushed towards me and touched my shoulders. He had stood there staring at me for 5 minutes before doing that.I didn't say a word because I was completely drunk. Instead, I only stared at him as he stared at me."What the hell happened Hayden? You never drank this much in ages."I didn't give a reply, but continued staring at him."How the hell can I tell you this? Shit!!" He cussed repeatedly, touching his forehead."Come on, I'll take you home. You should get some sleep."He grabbed my shoulders and assisted me up.Like Ray had says earlier, it's been ages I drank this much. I only do this once I'm reminded about my parents and my past, and he knew of this."I should kill that bastard for making you this way."I listened to him, but decided not to utter a word. I knew he was talking about Clark.He made me get into his car and shut the door, while he headed towards the driver's seat. I was still pretty sober, and what I wanted to do was punch the wall so hard to dec
Sarah's POVI woke up taking in a deep breath with oxygen around my nose. I couldn't utter a word but could only stare at Stacey who was seated beside me with her head on my bed.I was still so worried about Mason and I didn't know how long I had been asleep.The door opened revealing Ray, Hayden's friend. Once he saw he awake, he rushed towards me.Stacey woke up from her sleep and rubbed her eyes to get a clearer view of my face."You're awake." She said.I nodded my head watching them both stare at me. I wanted to ask about Mason, but I couldn't because there was no way I could talk."Hold on, I'll go get the doctor."Ray nodded, and she immediately zoomed out of the room. I was quite impressed at how worried she was about me."I heard what happened in the news, Sarah." I heard Raymond say as he took a seat beside me.My eyes were gradually becoming wet when I recalled that someone out there had tried to kill me, but instead, Mason got hurt.I couldn't reply Ray and so I remained s
