Liam stared from bottom to toe, his heart beating slowly in order for him to take in the beauty in front of him. He now understood why Ezra was distracted. The girl was a diamond that he would not mind having in his collection.Penelope, whose face was now a pile of gray matter, noticed Liam's lustful stare and hit him in the head, snapping him out of it."Are you stupid? What are you looking at!" she yelled at him."Penelope, let the man appreciate beauty; it is not every day that he sees natural beauty," Sarah mocked."You piece of shit!" Penelope charged at Sarah, but Liam quickly placed himself between the two.Chelsea came running to her friend's aid. "Hey, hey, touch my friend, and you will have me to deal with!" she warned them.She had her own makeover, her black curly hair straightened, and she wore a pixie dress paired with heels and a matching bag. "Finally, I have met the ugly pack of bones that was eating from two pots," Cheldea sneered."Who the fuck are you!" Penelope
Ezra concluded his speech and officially welcomed everyone. His mother was the first to get up on her feet, cheering for him, and the rest got up.She couldn't be proud of her son's determination to get over all the hurdles that were thrown at him.She walked up to the stage and hugged him. "This is just the beginning," she whispered.She pulled back and walked to Sarah, hugging her too.Sarah swallowed, it was unexpected and she was tempted to scream in excitement but had to control herself."Thank you for putting a smile on my son's face," Marian said.Sarah had no idea how to react, though she was sure she was not supposed to be given any credit for Ezra's decision to fight."Come with me; Ezra showed me this beautiful red dress," Marian said. "Photoshoot starts right now.""Now, like light now?" Sarah asked, looking behind Ezra."Yes, we are two weeks behind, and I will be in charge of directing the shoots," Marian said, asking the photographer.Chelsea came running to the stage.
The man was crazy; there was something wrong in his head. There was no way he was going to ruin the moment to raise his company from the ground for sex."Ezra, use your head and not your tail between your legs," she warned him, but he got closer and pulled her into his lap."Ezra no! We talked about this," she tried to reason with him."I tried to ignore you, but seeing you do the photoshoot brought back so many memories," he whispered, tracing his hand on her bare back.Sarah closed her eyes, his hand was warm, and his touches were leaving a warm feeling behind her back."Ezra, no, we can still date while you work for me," he said, forcing Sarah to open her eyes.Her heart stopped for a second as she turned to face him."I do not see why we should ignore the feelings we know we have had for each other since day one," Ezra stated."Day one?" Sarah was almost yelling. She pinched him hard. "You threw me outside your building the first day I got here like some piece of shit!" she yelled
Slowly, Sarah's eyes became wet, and tears began flowing down her cheeks. The whole day, she had a bad feeling about her and Ezra, but she did not imagine Liam was going to be there in the middle of it."Tell them how you begged me to give you this job and how you signed this form even after reading its contents," Liam yelled.Ezra finally looked at Sarah and noticed her reaction. He was on the verge of getting his phone and calling security, but for unknown reasons, his hands felt heavy."I am ready to go to jail for breaching the restraining order, but first I have to expose this two-faced liar!" Liam announced.Sarah looked in Ezra's direction. "I never spied on you," she finally said."Yet you signed this and kept working no matter the amount of shit he threw at you!" Liam yelled."Shut up! You are lying, you piece of sh*t!" Sarah yelled.Chelsea, who was in the back of the room, quickly walked to the front of the hall.Marian turned, her hand visibly shaking."Did you sign this?
Liam rubbed on his burning cheek, his ass still on the floor. He watched as Sarah and Chelsea walked out of the hall.He could not believe the audacity; however, he needed to get up because people were watching and still taking photos.He quickly got up, put his jacket together, and walked out of the room.Patiently waiting in his car and taking photos of everyone who was walking out of the building was Penelope.She had to back off when Ezra and his mother walked out and drove off. She had no idea why, when she had waited to spit on his face, but seeing his tears forced her to be glued to her seat.She always felt the man had no emotions inside of him but ever since the stupid secretary showed up, she had seen different sides of him. She looked up and saw Sarah and her stupid friend walking out. She got out of the car, clapping and laughing."We warned you, stupid slut! We warned you that we were going to ruin you if you kept getting into our business," she walked to them."Ignore h
Chelsea ran to the door, her smile wiping out at the sight of George. She had never met him before, but she knew exactly who he was from reading articles."George, this is not the right time; we are kind of busy," she said.George smiled at her. "And you are?" He stretched out his hand to greet her."George, what are you doing here?" Sarah finally spoke up."I came to see how you are doing; can we talk in private?" He asked and pulled his hand away, noticing that the friend was not going to shake his hand. Sarah brushed her hands through her hair; she did not have time for him. The man needed to know what ghosting meant."How did you find where I live?" she asked.George noticed her swollen eyes, she looked as if she had stayed up the whole night crying."From your application, okay, let me get to the point," he said. "I have seen the scandals about you and the Klein brothers, so I thought I would come and cheer you up," he said.Chelsea chuckled. "I mean, you saw an opportunity and
Sarah slowly staggered to the car, her legs heavy and her heart on the verge of bursting. Everything that Marian said was correct.She was a terrible person, it didn't matter whether it was Ezra or someone else's son or brother, but the fact still remained that she agreed to spy on someone and in the process hurt them. Worse, Liam was honest enough to tell her about the person and his condition. And instead of pitying them she selfishly agreed to spy on them.She was a horrible, pathetic person who could do anything for money. Or maybe even kill. Ezra was in the right not to give her the opportunity to hear her side of the story.If she thought about it, there was no side to her story. She was guilty, Liam did not force. In fact she begged him to give her the job.Claiming she was desperate for a job sounded like a witch pleading for mercy.Chelsea ran to her and said, "Did you talk to Ezra? What did he say?" she asked."Home… Let us just go home," Sarah whispered, her voice hoarse.
Liam inhaled and exhaled small breaths. He struggled to comprehend the elderly man's arrogance. The old fool constantly acted as though he were Ezra's father or Marian's boyfriend."What are we going to do? We must take action. Penelope was now in a state of panic.She clung to his hands and began shaking them. "What if he changes his mind? What should we do?"Liam shoved her off He screamed at her, "Stop with your stupid negativity; would you be positive for once?"When his phone rang, it was his attorney reassuring him that Ezra was still in the country."Where is he living?"The lawyer responded, "In the mansion in the mountains.""Great, nice job," he remarked before hanging up."You found him?" Penelope asked "In the mountain mansion, a perfect retirement house for the cripple to live and die a lonely life," he mocked.Penelope smiled, "I am coming with you," she said, grabbing her handbag.Liam hesitated a bit."What?" Penelope noticed. "We are going together; we both worked
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
