Marian smiled, she was getting the exact reaction she hoped for and it was priceless to watch."What? Was your tongue surgically removed for the hell you caused ten years ago?" Marian asked.Sarah finally moved, her eyes fixed on the ground. She could feel her eyes on the verge of tearing up, but she held it all in. The last thing she wanted was to wail in tears in front of the woman and give her satisfaction.Marian looked at her watch; she had already wasted about five minutes, and Liam or Ezra finding her talking to Sarah was not part of her plan. "Follow me, we need to talk," she said, leading the way.Sarah stayed glued to where she stood; she was not obligated to follow the woman, but the bad blood between the two would turn icy if she refused to follow the woman, so she followed the woman from behind.Every step she took felt like she was dragging her legs into a pit of lava and watching herself burn while the woman laughed. They got in the elevator, and Marian pressed the gr
Ezra's Lips curled with disgust, and the veins in his neck stood out in livid ridges as he put his phone down."How dare you lay your stupid hands on my mother!" he yelled.Sarah's Lips parted in silent surprise; she could hear her own heart beating. She should have guessed the woman was going to spin the assault on her."I am fucking talking to you!" he yelled at her."I did not touch her, she is lying," Sarah finally said. "She is the one that hit me!"Ezra cocked his neck, making a twisting sound. Arguing was not going to solve anything. The woman in front of him had no self-respect and was going to continue lying.He grabbed his phone and called security."What are you doing?" Sarah got up and grabbed the phone out of his hands, much to his horror."I swear if you throw me out of the building, your mother will sleep in a jail cell because there are a lot of witnesses in that coffee shop!" she yelled.It was a long shot, but Sarah was not going to sit back and watch the crazy woman
Sara was now sweating, and sweat was dripping from her armpits and forehead. She was in a rush and forgot to put on a roll since she wasted so much time shaving.She rolled her eyes with disgust; her stupidity was unmatched. On second thought, she wanted to cry not because of Ezra but because of her stupidity.She even went to the extent of shaving. She paused, wondering why. All Chelsea did was share a novel about a CEO who turned his secretary into a sex slave, and the first thing she did was shave."Ooh, my god," she cried out.Ezra chuckled, maintaining constant eye contact with her."Is there a problem, Miss Norwells?" he asked.Sarah covered her hands over her mouth, realizing she was too loud."Is that sweat, Miss Norwells?" Ezra inquired, a look of distaste across his face.Sarah hurriedly placed her hands down as her face got disheveled in embarrassment. She yearned for the earth to engulf her."Seriously, you couldn't afford a five-dollar deodorant as a fully grown lady," h
Liam stared with his jaw hanging open. He turned to face Joyce, who was equally as astonished as he was.Ezra was a heartless, emotionless stone who never expressed any emotion to a living being who was not related to him.For the first time, he appeared worried or was it care, Liam argued with himself.He had observed that his behavior toward Sarah was extremely different, but he continued ignoring it because Sarah was such a stunning young woman.Even with flat tyres, his brother still had blood in his veins and was free to admire.The two watched as Ezra instructed one of the guards to carry Sarah, and they all ran out of the room.He turned to face his secretary."What money? And where did you go and get it?" he asked.Joyce narrated everything to her boss."I only wanted to help her, sir, especially since she looked like someone had slapped her hard in the face," she explained.Liam was quiet."I thought she was a nice girl, sir, but she came here accusing me of stealing money wh
Ezra remained in Sarah's office and did nothing but gaze at the wall. His existence was a dull repetition of the similar schedule three days prior. He would awaken from a nightmare, Aron would get him ready, and he would begin to work. subsequently got into one or two fights with his brother. He returned home, had dinner with his mother and girlfriend, and then dozed off until a new nightmare awoke him.But the moment Sarah walked into his office, everything changed. His conduct also changed, in addition to his routine. He still couldn't believe he had driven her to the hospital and, even worse, used his personal elevator. He was losing it, and if he did not take care, his mother was going to be right, and Sarah was going to drag him to hell.A sound of a phone ringing snapped him out of his thoughts.He looked at his watch, and it was almost midnight. He noticed the ringing was coming out of Sarah's handbag.He grabbed it, and the caller ID said; "Romantic." His heart started beati
Ezra hurriedly wheeled himself into the secretary's office, certain he had heard Sarah's voice, but there was no one there.Either he was going crazy or Sarah was playing mind tricks on him, he thought as he looked around, breathing heavily.There was only one way for him to find out, though: he returned to his office and went straight to his surveillance. To his surprise, he was all alone in the office with no sound of a voice calling his name in the footage.He played the video over and over again and noticed that the moment he thought he heard a voice and opened his eyes, he grinned, which caused his mouth to curve in disgust.Embarrassed, he deleted the video of the day, closed his laptop, and called Aron to take him home. It appeared he was going insane.In minutes, Aron arrived at the office, worried. Ezra was not the type to get off work early unless he had an important meeting or not feeling well.He walked in and found Ezra already on the other side of the elevator."Is ever
Sarah stared at the devil in front of her but then remembered that she had only agreed to go window shopping with Chelsea because she could not get the lost money off of her mind.She was sure Ezra was going to use the money to get her fired, but instead, he wanted her to cook.She scratched her head. Cooking for her boss in an expensive restaurant was more of a romantic gesture than a punishment.Her eyes widened, while her cheeks flared up. She quickly held her cheeks, then turned to find Ezra staring at her.She quickly took off and joined the irritated manager in the kitchen."Just because Mr Klein owns this restaurant does not mean you should burn it down!" he yelled and threw an apron at her."And tie your hair, in fact, put a net on!" He added and began showing her around the kitchen and what to use.Sarah thanked him, her eyes darting around the expensive restaurant. It was not just any restaurant but Ezra's, and he took her there to make him an expensive meal.She smiled; may
Sarah's heart was literally in her hands, she could feel it on the verge of bursting from her own grasp. If only she had stood her ground or followed Chelsea's idea of not answering the call."Hey, I am talking to you!" Penelope yelled."Penelope, what are you doing here?" Ezra spoke up.Penelope rolled her eyes and turned in Sarah's direction."You are still seated, you stupid bi**tch!" She charged at her.Sarah quickly ducked her hands over her head."I dare you to touch her!" Ezra pushed on the table with his wheelchair. Penelope froze, her breath ragged."I called her here for work," Ezra stated.Sarah slowly lifted her head, her brows tilting in shock."Work!" Penelope yelled. "Work! in a fancy restaurant and having a stupid dinner!"Ezra glared and pointed at the side of Sarah's table."Does she look like she is having dinner with me?" he asked.Penelope looked at Sarah's side and noticed there was only a purse and a glass of wine."When you dine and have dinner with stupid pho
Sarah opened her eyes, staring at the beautiful ceiling that stared back at her. She wanted to concentrate on such peace. Memories of the previous day were still vivid, but she wanted a new start.She looked to the other side of the bed and found it empty. Ezra had informed her he was going to go in for work early.The board had voted to reinstate him in order to cover up for Liam's crimes as they waited to make the world believe Liam never took over but just stepped in when Ezra was on leave.The company was distancing itself from Liam. He had no one, and Sarah couldn't help but feel sorry for the fool, though he deserved whatever shit he was going through.She dodged a bullet with him; she was lucky he only made her sign a contract to spy on his brother. Worse, he would have pimped her to some ugly old man.Just thinking about it made her skin crawl. She got out of bed and took a shower. She needed to get the fool out of her head.She ate her breakfast and asked Aron to accompany he
Ezra slowly raised his hands; he had made sure to remain on the door so that Penelope's back was facing the back door, just like he was instructed.She looked unstable; she did not appear to be joking around or having a bad day. She was there to kill and was going to make him watch.The police officers needed to hurry; he was running out of what to say to her. Watching his wife in the clutches of the mad woman was unbearable.He hated being helpless, and he was running out of patience."Wait, wait, I can help Liam out of prison. I can make the evidence disappear," an idea popped up.To his irritation, Penelope burst out laughing. "This is not about that stupid jealous pig!" she yelled. "Why do you always feel the need to want that ungrateful fool to like you?" she yelled at him.Ezra looked away."He hired me... or should I say pimped me to pretend to love you, and all the money you were giving me, we would blow it on wild sex, drugs, alcohol, and stupid things!" She kept laughing.
Sarah held her tummy, trying hard not to show fear. If she was going to die, she was going to die brave."What exactly did I take that was yours?" she asked."How dare you ask such a stupid question?" Penelope yelled, moving closer and pointing the gun at her."I need Clarification, I do not see anything in my house that belongs to you," Sarah replied, showing no fear.Penelope looked around and noticed the packing. "Going to move in with the cripple?" she laughed."Yes, we plan to raise our baby together and hold a wedding after I give birth," Sarah smiled.Penelope charged at her and pointed the gun at her face."Get on your knees, you stupid woman!" she yelled. "Get on your knees!"Sarah slowly got on her knees."You think this is a joke! You think I will not blow your head and leave your brains for that stupid Ezra to come and mop up?" She yelled.Sarah kept quiet."You are now quiet!" Penelope yelled, hitting Sarah with a gun on the forehead.Sarah winced a little but maintained
Penelope arrived at Melrose exhausted. She had to beg for a ride from a stranger since going back to Ezra's mansion was out of her options.She walked to the entrance and noticed it was too crowded as if something was going on.She ran upfront and noticed some board members. The elevator stopped, and Liam walked out with cuffs behind his hands and two men in jackets following behind him.She hid in a corner, confused. From the badges, she could tell the men in suits were FBI.She covered her hands over her mouth and watched as Liam was escorted out like some hard-core criminal.The entire building was brought to a standstill. All the employees want the front roll seat with cameras taking videos and photos. Penelope was aware she was supposed to run after them, stop them, or ask what was going on, but she chose to hide. The jerk left her in the mountains so she was not going to pretend.She did not want to be implicated in whatever he was being arrested for.As soon as the car drove
Liam quickly snapped out of his shock and got up. He could not believe what he was hearing."What did you just say?" he asked."You heard me perfectly and loudly," Ezra replied."You signed a document binding you to sell the company to me!" Liam scattered everything that was on the desk, sending it to the floor.Aron heard the noise and quickly ran upstairs, where Marian, Chelsea, and Sarah were, and informed them of the visitors.They all ran downstairs to Ezra's office, where they found Liam yelling at the top of his voice while Penelope was standing in the corner."You are not going to get away with this! Not when you signed the contract!" he yelled."Sue me; you are free to sue me," Ezra replied."Get out of my house!" Marian yelled. "Get out now!" She ran to her son's side and ordered Aron to go and get the gun."These animals have been a thorn in my son's butt for too long!" she yelled.Penelope ignored her, her eyes fixed on Sarah's tummy. There was no way she managed to get Ez
Liam sat in his office, admiring the numbers on his screen. The progress he had made in less than a month was astonishing.He was nearing the value that Ezra wanted to buy the shares at. One more week and the company was going to be officially his.He got up and poured himself a glass of wine to celebrate. He could only imagine his stupid brother's face, watching him bring life to the company.The door opened, and Penelope walked in."You are just in time for a mini-celebration," he said, getting another glass."Celebration for what?" Penelope asked. "I will only come and pour a glass with you when you officially take over the company," she added, taking a seat."You are such a party pooper," Liam sneered at her."Numbers are nothing when there is a crazy man with a temper on the other side," she warned."Ezra will sell; he already signed a document binding him to sign," Liam pointed out."What if he has healed and wants to concentrate on the company?' she asked. Liam paused with his
Sarah could not believe what was happening in front of her, but him trying to kneel was straining his spine, which was not good for his health, so she ran to him."Ezra stop!" She knelt on her knees and tried to hold him, but Ezra wanted to apologize.From day one, he put her into sh*t; he made sure he reduced her to sh*t, but she kept going back to him over and over again no matter the kind of shit he put her through.She was his second chance all alone, but his stupidity to hold on to her mistakes and his mistakes when she almost cost him a chance at a happy ending."I am sorry, Sarah. I am sorry for being an animal to you," he said, tears running down his face. "I have so much anger inside that it blinds me, and I fail to condone people's mistakes," he said to her.Sarah hugged him; she had no idea whether it was because he was on his knees, or the effort he was making but all the anger he previously had for him disappeared."I am sorry Ezra," she wiped her tears. "I should have t
The ride to the hospital was in silence, Sarah had requested to ride with Aron in front of the limousine. She needed to process Ezar's confession without having to look at him.She had no idea whether to believe him or not. When she slept with him, he was hard in seconds. There was no sign of him having problems; he was perfect for someone who was in a wheelchair.She tried remembering the details again but could not find faults. Was he really only capable of getting it up with her?"She tried looking back, but there was a barricade in her way that demarcated the front and the back."Do you want me to open it?" Aron asked."No, no, no," Sarah replied, looking away."Would you open the window for me?" she requested, trying to open her side of the window."I can turn the air conditioning on," Aron suggested."No, I want fresh air," Sarah replied.At the back, Ezra was visibly shaking. When Sarah worked with him, she was 24/7 with him. The woman practically lived with him. The baby was h
Sarah kept driving with no idea where she was going. Marian's reaction kept running over and over again in her head. She was hoping for Marian to be on her side, but instead, the woman appeared to be worse than her useless son. Every move she was making was turning out to be a nightmare. No job, no money for rent, and was now pregnant for a man whose family did not want anything to do with her.She looked around, noticing she had no idea where she was and that it was getting dark.She was also running out of fuel; she needed to stop her car. She looked around and noticed a parking space. She drove in and stopped, tempted to scream, but the voices of laughing children prevented her. She appeared to be in some sort of children's park.She looked at her arms and noticed the red patches from the slaps she received from Marian. The woman was crazy; she grabbed her purse, checking if she had any money for fuel, but did not even find a coin."Fuck!" she screamed this time. She was now the m
