Cling for passion Chapter 20
Sarah's POVBy the time I got home it was just 6:30 am, enough time for me to prepare and go to work afterwards,“Ma'am, we're here?” The driver said to me, as I got out of my deep thoughts.“Oh really?” I said. I was a bit embarrassed as he had been calling out to me for a while. I took out a few bills from my purse as I paid him off.“Thank you, Mr.” I said to the driver, as I got out of the taxi, I entered my house, closing the door behind me and heaved a deep sigh of relief. After what happened to Justin and I at his place, I don't think I'd have the courage to look him in the eye today at work.No, not what you're thinking. After I walked into the room, he had been giving me some sort of attitude, so before he woke up, I darted out of there to come home then prepare for work so I wouldn't have an excuse to give for my lateness.“I just hope today goes well.” I muttered to myself as I stood up, I was still getting used to living alone, the house was quiet as usual, I better g

Sarah's POVI stood there with my head hung low, didn't I make it right? Or is he trying to make me feel worse than I already feel?“What the hell is this? He asked again, pointing at the cup.“Sir, I_”“You can't do anything right Sarah, tell me how you can't make coffee after the number of times I have taught you how I like my coffee?” He complained, but hold on a minute, all this just for a cup of coffee?Seriously? I thought to myself.“It's just coffee sir, no need to get upset I'll prepare another one right away.” I said to him, if I stood there much longer than I did, I don't trust my mouth to be obedient to me, cause I'll straight up bash the hell out of him even if he's my boss.He fell back to his seat with his eyes lingering around me, he wanted to say something else but by words had shut the words back into his throat.“Fine.” He answered sharply, returning back to whatever he was doing,Without wasting much time, I picked up the cup of coffee as I turned to leave when I h

Sarah's POVI stood by the door of his office, taking a few deep breaths, before holding on to the door knob then opening the door as I stepped in, his office was cold, with the air conditioning really high.I approached his table with mixed feelings, what if I get fired? But why would I? It's not like I was doing something wrong? So there is no justification to have me fired.He still with his gaze fixed on me without uttering a word to me, I was beginning to get uncomfortable with the way he stared at me, my knees were the first to give up as they shivered.“Sir? You called me?” I said to him, trying to remind him the reason I was here in his office but instead he didn't say anything, he just looked at me. To be honest, it was beginning to creep me out. The room suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of the cars and horns outside could be heard, at least that was better than a formidable silence where nobody spoke to each other.“You're something, you know? He began, breaking t

Sarah's POVI could feel Diana's anger erupting through her skin as Justin pulled me closer to himself.I enjoyed the moment and suddenly became conscious when I remembered I smelled like coffee. Diana tightened her fist as she looked at the both of us.She seemed frozen and if I could guess her thoughts clearly she'd do anything to eliminate me. Justin, who saw Diana wasn't responding, turned towards me. He looked into my eyes as he grabbed my Palms softly, raising them towards his face and he smiled as he kissed them lightly.“Let's go somewhere safer my darling, this place is hot with jealousy. I can sense it” Justin saidI wondered if this was real or fake. Justin sounded so sarcastic and I held the laughter that was about to erupt within me. I smiled courteously as I nodded towards Justin's suggestion. “Okay” I affirmed.Following him softly as he took me away from a furious Diana.Once we were out of sight and away from the boutique, Justin pushed me away as he flinged my arm.

Sarah's PovI watched Justin as his mind raced with thoughts. The once serene atmosphere slowly had tension building with strings of chaos.“Read the message!” Justin yelled. I had seen Justin mad sometimes but never this angry. He was vibrating as the veins in his head came out fully. His eyes seemed to be teary as his voice was hoarse and his breathing was loud.I looked at the message as I opened my mouth to read it.“Mm.. message from the lawyer” I began stuttering.My stomach tightened as it formed a knot. Justin's mood scared me, I didn't know if he was going to hit me.“Why did you stop reading? Continue” he said calmly this time.His emotions seemed to have mellowed down. He looked relaxed but still angry. I took a deep breath as I continued reading the short message.“Annulment Granted. Your marriage is now officially dissolved”I closed my mouth as Justin released my hands. I could see the questions racing through his mind reflecting in his eyes.I tried to explain but h

Sarah's POVI stood there stunned to the ground, what can I say? The same man I am trying to avoid apparently falls in love with me.He drew closer to me, as he tried to hold my hands when I drifted back,“I love you, Sarah.” He finally confessed. What could I say, it still felt surreal to me. Like someone should just tap me and wake me up from this slumber.“Love?” I breathe out in disbelief, “ you love me?” I asked again to be sure I heard well the last time.I tried to look into his eyes if I'd see a hint of him joking but when I looked into his eyes there was nothing but pure love glaring at me in the face.“I love you, Sarah.” He said again this time his voice deepened, then paced a bit as he ran his hands through his hair. Then walked towards me, as he cupped my face,“You do not know how long I have suppressed this feeling of mine.” He said, then breathed out disappointingly, “ I found out that you're married?”“How? How? Your CV stated that you were not Married, Sarah! H

Sarah's POV“Who is this Ex husband of yours?” He asked again with a wild smile on his face, I just knew he would ask. I just couldn't imagine his face if I told him that Steve, his financial Manager is actually my husband.I looked at him and didn't even know when I bursted into laughter. Justin stood there in confusion, Why am I not supposed to know?” He asked, then we both shared a laugh.“You know him already....” His eyes widened in surprise, then stepped back a bit . “Who's that?”I took a deep breath and then broke the news to him, “It's Steve. “ I said rather sadly, I didn't know Calling his night could trigger something.“Steve? The same Steve from the office?” He asked and I nodded in affirmation. “The one and the only.”Justin stood there in shock, we were already running late and I'm sure everyone in the office would be wondering why we aren't back yet. But I'm yet to see another version of Justin.He had a lot of things to say but I just knew his life must have

JUSTIN'S POVSteve's eyes glared at me as he pursed his gaze directing it to me. His face went pale and I'm sure he didn't see that coming.“What do you mean by you're in love with Sarah? That's against the company's ethics.” He fired back, he was right, Dad made sure I promised that I'd keep my distance from his female staff, but how can I help it after played a trick on me and brought one to my bedroom a day before she applied?Steve worked with my father up until two years ago when I took over the company. If there was anyone my father solely trusted, it would be Steve. According to him he was a wonderful employee and a good husband to his wife, how could I not connect the dots between him and Sarah the first time I saw them together talking suspiciously.“And that is my father, Steve. I have as much right to date anyone I want and that includes Sarah. Nothing is going to take me out of this game. Or maybe you should back out because your messed up situation made a way for me.”

DIANA'S POV I paced the length and breath of the house, waiting for the arrival of Steve. My phone began ringing again. I looked at the caller and it was the man from the one night stand.I do not know how he got to know my number, and since then, he has been bugging me ever since.Then I got a text from him, “you can't hide forever, you know.” the message read.Oh goodness gracious, what have I gotten myself into. What if he told Steve? I would be done for and that is for sure. I wouldn't let Sarah laugh at me. That's not going to happen. In fact she was the cause of all this instead. If she had just signed the papers, then maybe! Maybe I wouldn't have charged her and then gone to the bar to cool off only to end up in another's bed. Steve would never forgive me. We were not together yet but he had proven to me how much he loved Sarah and this would just give him an avenue to kick me out which I wouldn't let happen.Just then I got a message that sent me up on my feet as I headed fo

Sarah's POVThey immediately broke off from their hug, I tried as much as I could to contain the hurt that I was feeling. You are here just for Patty and that's all.“What happened to knocking before you entered my office, Ms. Parker? His voice deepened in his full masculine voice without even batting his eyes as he spoke to me.For a moment it felt like my voice had just vanished into thin air, I quickly cleared my throat as I tried to get rid of the embarrassment.So sorry sir. But I'm here to request you for something “ he gave a slight frown in his face, as he gazed at me, the moment he saw Patty and in together with me, he cooed as he let go of Nicole.“What's the Problem, that it couldn't wait?” He was not interested in what I was planning to say.I took a deep breath then began,“About Patty's request for an upfro_” he didn't wait for my response instead he cut me off.“That had already been decided. She cannot take another upfront in the same month. Ms. Parker.“But?” I tried

Sarah's POVI didn't mean to say those hurtful words to him, I saw his eyes dimmer as she plunged into sadness.“What's with you Sarah?”My subconscious yelled at me, I was happy to see that he was worried about me but on second thought..his worries were dangerous and if Nicole sees that we were close, there was nothing holding him back from firing me and making sure I don't get a job in the entire state.“Did you just look me in the eyes and tell me to leave? In front of him?” He pointed at Steve, who rolled his eyes in return. He seems to be enjoying this drama of mine.“Yes. Because I am not comfortable with what you're trying to do. Steve is still my legal husband till we're divorced. So it's disrespectful to me if you keep bugging me all the damn time?” I finally breathe out as I said. He stood there in uttermost shock as he watched me spill the most hurtful words to him, I quickly avoided his gaze because I did too. I was not ready mentally for him either. I was too broken to g

JUSTIN'S POVI picked up my telephone as I dialed Steve's office number.“Send Sarah to my office right now.” I knew he was going to counter back so I hung up immediately. I do not know what dad and Nicole are planning but taking Sarah away from me was not part of the agreement.I stood up as I paced the length and breadth of my office . I was worried, what could I do now? It's not like we're both on good terms that I could just walk up to her to explain things.Shortly there was a knock on the door, I darted my eyes to the door, as I rushed to have my seat. I adjusted my shirt and tie, as I cleared my throat, using my most deep baritone voice to use.“So come in.” I said softly. I was awaiting her entry, as the doorknob turned but it wasn't Sarah that was sent from the financial department.It was Patricia..or Patty whatsoever.I felt Insulted, I felt displeased. A typical example of what I ordered versus what I got.“Sir?” Patty called as I just stared at her with a few frowns on

Sarah's POV“Sarah.” He called, as he fell back towards his seat. I stood there with no words coming out. Whichever way, I just have to learn to work with him.Oh goodness gracious when has it been heard that two ex-couple worked alongside each other or maybe I should have told Mr. Louis Steve were once married and working with him could be weird but I didn't want to sound unprofessional. Now looks, who's already tired of just staring at his face?Me!I cleared my throat, I hate to say something. He was my boss anyway. For the first time in a long time, I wished Justin was my boss, I could still keep up with the silent treatment and cruel words but this? This is weird and awkward.“Uhmm Sir.” I began switching to honorifics immediately. “I was sent here by the chairman himself. And I'd love it if we are both cordial about it. This is just work and work it would be.” I stayed, gesturing with my hands to state my points better. But instead of giving me an answer, he sat there starin

Sarah's PovI was stunned for a moment, what the hell is his father doing in the company.“Sarah? He is the founder, duhh?” My subconscious says to me, I quickly snapped out of it as I stretched my hands for a handshake.But instead he stood there as he looked at me with contempt, his gaze could literally rip me off the dress I was wearing af for a moment I thought it did. My hand hung in the air for seconds as he continued staring at me like I had dirt in me.“Dad?” Just called for him to take my hand as I was beginning to regret stretching out my hand in the first place. It was an awkward moment. I took back my hand, before greeting.“Good morning sir.” I said halfheartedly, taking a short bow.“So you are Sarah Parker. I thought of you too high but from what I'm seeing, I am disappointed in myself.” He spat out, I felt hurt. Who says something like that to someone. It felt like he had an already reserved hatred for me without even knowing me first.“Dad....stop it! This is an of

Don's PovDeep in the heart of the woods, my car drove into the forest as I just couldn't get my mind off what happened the previous night, and I must say, she knew how well to handle me. Her moans keep ringing in my head as time passes.“Boss?” Joe called for the up tenth time as I was spacing out which was not the usual me.“What?” I frowned, turning my gaze to him, as he looked at me with a hitch of worry written all over his face. “What's with that look on your face, it's not like I'm about to die.” I said I was rather uninterested.“I didn't mean it that way boss, but you acted so differently after this woman.” Joe asked again , we were close and that was why he was my right hand man. You can say that I'm a rich and successful personnel in the city who commands power. As much as I am not the mayor, I had as much influence as the president himself.I was meant to have a business meeting at the bar when my eyes caught the beautiful damsel who was drowning herself in the multipl

Diana's Pov“Someone please wake me up because this is not real.” My subconscious yelled from within.At this point I felt like the ground should just swallow me whole, I felt dirty, I felt filthy. I didn't want to be touched by any other man aside from Steve.“ What the hell is going on?” He looked at me with a smirk on his face as he slowly got up looking at me lustfully, I felt instantly disgusted that I would have gagged any moment. This was all Sarah's fault! If she had just let Steve be then this wouldn't have happened.All I felt was anger and resentment towards Sarah, and now. I feel like a filthy rag.I immediately got out of the bed, wrapping the duvet around me as I headed for the bathroom. As soon as my gaze hit the mirror to see my reflection on the mirror, I was a mess, even if I wanted to hide it..it was clearly visible from outside. A tear slid down my cheeks, I felt like a disgrace, like I had just broken the little trust Steve has for me.“You're going to be fine.”

Diana's pov.I am utterly broken by Sarah's words as I run off in the wind towards my car. I am both angry and sad, it's getting late but I do not want to go home. I felt the urge to burn somethingI turn on my car as I zoom off angrily! The wind seems to be angry too as it blows angrily. From the chaos and dust my eyes catch the lights on a bar. I had no alcohol at home and I needed to drown Sarah's words that kept replaying in my head. It wouldn't hurt to grab a few cups at the bar and head home even if it rained. I had my car with me, so I thought. I pulled over as I parked my car. Grabbing my purse I stormed out of the car into the club.The environment was sensual as clubs never had bright lights but the most colorful dim lights you could think of. Sarah's words kept coming up in my head and I couldn't bear it anymore.I stormed towards the bartender who looked hot. He was shirtless and his torso was attractive, but he wasn't Steve.“Give me the strongest mixture you have, I nee
