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.

    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

    Liam noticed the drooling eyes all over him and walked straight to Chelsea."Who is this beautiful princess?" He asked for her hand and placed a kiss on it.Chelsea swallowed, the man was the perfect specimen for the men she was always reading about in her Romantic books. And according to Sarah, he was the ugly brother.She smiled, admiring his beautiful gray eyes. Sarah was obviously blinded by the crush she had on the cripple and could not see the beauty in front of her.Sarah watched her friend, irritated. Liam was the villain, and they were supposed to be chasing him and not drooling over him.She quickly pushed Liam's hand away and pulled him to his car."Mr, Klein, what are you doing here?" she asked.Liam smiled, "Where do you buy your ugly eyeglasses from?" he asked."Mr, Klein, it's not appropriate for people to see you here." Sarah ignored him.Liam glared at her, he was enjoying the drooling from her friend before she disturbed him. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "But

    The morning came with Sarah's eyes swollen from staying awake the whole night thinking about the list she was tasked with writing.A weapon that she knew he was going to use against her. Before heading for bed, she had innocently asked Chelsea what things the CEOs did to their secretaries in novels, and the answers had left her numb and defeated.All the things she listed were so sexual that her face was left peach red and her legs trembling.There was no way Ezra would cross that line; she kept comforting herself. But the reality was that he was going to run out of the nasty things to request so soon the sexual demands would kick in. It was very common for women to quit their jobs due to sexual advances from their bosses. The question that was on her mind was whether she would allow him to touch her. She had programmed herself to go through all the sh*t he would throw at her; she never thought it would turn sexual.She got off the bed and stared at the white, plain paper. She neede

    Sarah quickly opened her bag and removed the neatly folded plain paper, handing it to her boss. His arrival was lifesaving; Liam was definitely not going to let her pass without his eyes landing on the dirty list.Ezra grabbed the paper and began unfolding it, to Sarah's horror."Mr Klein, what are you doing?" Sarah began charging at Ezra with the intention of grabbing the paper.Ezra moved his wheelchair, warning her, "You touch me, and you will find yourself sleeping in a police cell!"Sarah stepped back a bit, her knees on the verge of giving up on her. She was finished. Not only was he going to humiliate her but he was going to humiliate himself too in front of Liam and his useless girlfriend.Liam watched the panic on her face. She did not want anyone except Ezra to read whatever was on the stupid paper."Sir, no, please!" Sarah began pleading.Ezra opened the paper with a smile as his eyes landed on the first sentence.He closed his eyes for a few seconds as his tongue numbed up

    After her sick days expired, Sarah returned to work, but Ezra was nowhere to be seen. She wasn't supposed to walk into his office and check if he was inside or not, but she was hoping for a call from him.She hadn't slept for two days, and Ezra didn't call or inquire about the list so when she went back to work, she anticipated him to be waiting for her. However, he wasn't.She sat at her desk the whole day without seeing or hearing from him, not even a call.Out of patience, she stood up and made her way to Ezra's door. She was now worried but stopped midway, her heart beating fast. She had to consider the chance that Ezra might play cruel tricks, so she turned, grabbed her purse, and walked out.On second thought, she made the decision to call Liam and inquired whether he was at his office.She hung up after saying, "Okay, I'm on my way."She went to his office, ignoring peering eyes. She had grown accustomed to the looks people gave her and the gossip Joyce was spreading about her

    Sarah looked away, uncomfortable with the eyes that were all over, undressing her. Liam couldn't help but stare. Apart from her hideous glasses, which were ruining the entire look, she looked gorgeous.He was always the type to appreciate beauty, and with just a simple effort, the girl in front of him would be a prized item or even more.Chelsea cleared her throat. "Will the cripp... I mean, will your elder brother be in attendance at this fundraiser?" she asked.Liam finally took his eyes off Sarah. "You look exquisitely beautiful," he finally said."Is Ezra going to be in attendance?" Sarah asked, interested in his answer."No," Liam smiled and laid his hand out for her to grab.Sarah hesitated a bit, she did not trust Liam, but with no options to choose from, she grabbed his hand, and the two walked out of the house to the limo.The entire ride was in silence, which was a surprise for Sarah. Liam was the talking type, but he was fixed on the phone in his hand.They finally arrived

    Ezra sat in his Jet, going through photos of Sarah and Liam at the fundraiser. Then photos showing her with George Krisinky having a Chinese dinner.He tossed his phone away, irritated. He left the country for two stupid days, and the brainless woman was already all over men.It was like she was intentionally trying to piss the living daylights out of him. He clenched his hand, breathing heavily, but on second thought, he picked up his phone and dialed her number.Sarah, who was busy enjoying the night and the Chinese food, paused. Her heart stopped, and the chopsticks in her hand dropped to the table."Is there a problem?" George asked, worried."Sorry, George, I have to go. It's an emergency," she lied, getting up.Her eyes kept darting around as if she was a thief caught red handed.George got up too. "Okay, I can take you," he offered, but Sarah was already at the door."It's fine, I will call you tomorrow," she said, running off before he could get a chance to respond.She was al

    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
