It was three PM in New York city. After the disappearance of Charles, the old man had called a meeting among his high-ranking men in order for them to discuss how they were going to bring Charles back to New York City and make him pay for betraying the old man, but that wouldn't be without him figuring out a way to apologize to Sarah and get her to accept to marry him.As the men were gathering in the meeting hall, which is in the old man's mansion, Adrian too walked in, and without uttering a word to any of them, he went to one of the seats, sat down, and started manipulating his phone.As he was busy manipulating his phone, the men started murmuring words about him to each other, especially those who were present the day he killed some of their colleagues in order to rescue Charles, but none dared say whatever they wanted loudly, but despite that, Adrian could still get a glimpse of what they were saying. "As they were still waiting for the old man to come out, the men kept on whi
As the audio was playing, the old man kept on staring at Adrian, anger and rage evident in his eyes.From the way the old man was staring at Adrian, the others had already predicted that he was going to kill him; after all, this wasn't the first time they had seen the old man this angry, and they all know what he's capable of doing when he's angry."Adrian, what is the meaning of this?" The old man roared angrily once the video finished playing, causing everyone to jolt in fright."To be sincere, sir, I'm as surprised as you are; I don't know how this got out or who uploaded it online."What do you mean by being as surprised as I am?" The old man roared angrily."Wait just a minute, was this the reason why Adrian left New York City?" The old man asked Adrian."To be sincere, sir, I don't know anything about all this, and I can't also tell if this is the reason why Charles left New York City, because he didn't tell me anything about it. You know me well, sir; I would have probably stop
It was six PM in the evening. Xavier was sitting on a sofa in his sitting room, and right in front of him was his computer, through which he was following the meeting he had organized with the shareholders of his company.Normally, the meeting was supposed to take place the previous week, but due to how busy he has been at Quim Corporation, he couldn't participate in the meeting, so he postponed it to the weekend, precisely on Sunday.It was an hour-long meeting that began at five p.m., so the meeting was almost coming to an end."So aside from everything that has been discussed so far, does anyone have something else to add before we end the meeting?" Xavier asked them while adjusting the little microphone that he used to change his voice so that the shareholders wouldn't know that it's him."Actually, sir, we wanted to ask when you are finally going to present yourself to us. I mean, it's been over three months since we started working together, but you have shown us your real face;
"Were you the one that posted the audio recording at the church today?" Sarah asked him while peering into his eyeballs."What if I say yes?" Xavier asked her."The audio recording was fake, right?" Sarah asked him."What?" Xavier asked her with furrowed brows. _________________________"Yes, you heard me right; the audio recording was fake, right?" Sarah asked him once again, and with that, Xavier scoffed at her."Well, I don't know," Xavier said to her grumpily."What do you mean by you don't know, weren't you the one that posted the audio recording?" Sarah asked Xavier with an angry tone."And what makes you think that I was the one who posted who posted it?" Xavier asked Sarah, causing her to frown deeply."Is this some kind of joke? It hasn't even been up to five minutes since you agreed that you were the one that posted the audio, and now you are already pretending as if you didn't agree to it," Sarah said to Xavier, her voice raising in anger, and with that, Xavier furr
It was eight p.m. in the night. Sarah had just woken up and was about to get up when she felt a hand wrapped around her waist, widening her eyes in surprise. She slowly turned around while praying deep down for what her heart was telling her not to be true, but when she turned around, what she saw was exactly what she was praying not to see.Right in front of her was Xavier, who was sleeping peacefully with his hand wrapped around her waist.Once she saw him, everything that had happened earlier came back playing in his head, including how she had been the one who took control of the kiss when Xavier had stopped, probably to confirm if she consented with it.As she was staring at him, thousands of questions started running through her mind.What was she thinking when she allowed him to kiss her?How is she going to face him when he wakes up and also at work?As these thoughts were running through her mind, she slowly ruffled her hair in frustration while being careful not to wake him
It was a Monday morning, the following day after the wedding day, in which Sarah was abandoned by her groom, Charles. The news was still circulating throughout the whole city, but Sarah wasn't affected by that, and that all thanks to the audio recording released by Xavier. If he hadn't released that audio recording, first she wouldn't have known Charles real motives for dating her and wanting to marry her, and she wouldn't have also known that she has an unknown enemy called Old Man. In addition to that, everyone would have seen her as a bad person since she was the one who was abandoned. Being abandoned on one's wedding day for no reason is something that rarely happens, and whenever it happens, people are always quick to conclude that the reason why the person got abandoned on the wedding day is because he or she has a bad character, and the reason why the partner didn't reveal the reason is maybe he or she doesn't want to ruin the other person's reputation, or maybe he or she want
After taking her son to school, Sarah drove directly to the company. On getting to the company, she was surprised to see numerous reporters standing in front of the company, probably wanting to question her about the wedding event that took place the previous day.Seeing them, she wanted to run back to the garage and wait till they were gone before entering the company, but unfortunately for her, the reporters had already seen her, and without hesitating, they quickly started chasing after her.Meanwhile, Xavier was in his office working on a file on his computer when he started hearing some noises from outside, and without hesitating, he stood up and walked to the window and looked down only to see numerous reporters running behind Sarah, and with that, he shook his head in disbelief before walking out of his office. When he saw the reporters earlier this morning, he had placed a call across her to inform her about it, but she didn't pick up.Walking to the reception area, he asked s
After getting to Italy, the first thing Charles did was rent a hotel where he could spend a day or two before buying a house and moving in permanently.Going through his new social media handle, he could see the news of his wedding with Sarah trending in New York City; happily, the news hasn't reached Italy yet, so he was safe, and that is because it isn't an English country. That was one of the main reasons why he fled to Italy at the first place, so he won't have to go around hiding his face so that no one will recognize him as the guy being talked about on television and every social media handle. In addition to that, he also has many underworld business partners in Italy, so it would be very easy for him to establish in Italy. Getting established was his main objective in the meantime; sooner or later, the old man was going to come after him, and there's no way he's going to be able to defend himself against him if he isn't established. Aside from the old man is Xavier, if he's no
A Year Later "Xavier !!! Xavier !!!" The name of Xavier echoed from the sitting room.Once Xavier heard Sarah screaming his name from the sitting room, he immediately dashed out of the kitchen, where he was preparing a cup of tea for Sarah , and started running towards the sitting room.Once he came to the sitting room, he saw Sarah wriggling in pain while holding her protruding stomach."Babe, are you okay?" Xavier asked Sarah ."How can you be asking me if I'm okay? Can't you see that my water has already broken?"Sarah asked Xavier . Her voice was filled with agony."But, babe, I still don't get it. What do you mean by your water has already broken?" Xavier asked Sarah with a confused tone."Argh!!! The baby is already coming out," Sarah screamed in pain."Oh my gosh, that was what you were supposed to say instead of saying that your water has broken," Xavier said to Sarah ."Argh!!!" Sarah screamed once again in pain."It's okay, babe, let's start going to the hospital," Xavier sa
It's been a month since Xavier was discharged from the hospital, and since all this time he has been on very good terms with Sarah and Richard. The first week after he was discharged from the hospital, Sarah spent the whole week at his house with Justin in order to keep an eye on him and also to be sure that he had recovered completely. It was during this period that she discovered that Xavier had another company aside from Quim Corporation that he had sold to her. Hearing this made her feel less guilty for everything she had done to him; if not, she was already feeling sorry for him and was even considering handing the company back to him, but Xavier had told her that it wasn't necessary and the company was doing much better with her as the CEO, so it would be better if she kept on managing it while he, on the other hand, concentrated on building up his new company. When they announced their upcoming marriage which would be taking place very soon, it immediately became the top trend
*Five Months Later* It's been five months since Xavier have been in coma, after taking a bullet for Sarah when she was kidnapped by Charles, he nearly lost his life, but fortunately he was brought to the hospital where they did surgery on him in order to retrieve the bullets. But since when the bullets were retrieved, he have been in coma and the doctor have also informed Sarah that he wasn't sure of when he would wake up and that it was also possible that he never wakes up, so she shouldn't keep her hopes high. Since the past five months that Xavier have been in coma, Sarah makes sure to visit him every day to see if he have waken up and sometimes she even visits him with Justin who have been greatly affected by his father's absence. Ever since he heard that his father was in Coma, he haven't been himself, he has been a shadow of himself even at school. Hr hardly talk, laugh or discuss about the things that happened at school like he used to do. Sometimes Sarah and Richard takes him
"I thought I asked you not to tell anyone about this?" He asked Sarah with a fierce tone while pointing his gun at her."I swear I didn't inform anyone before coming I swear," Sarah said to him while trembling in fear and at the same time the gunshots resounded once again."Damnit," he muttered before lowering the gun. "Go on put on the clothes we are leaving now," Charles said to Sarah."What?" Sarah asked him in surprise."I said you should put on the damn clothes," he yelled at her before pointing the gun at her."Okay, okay," Sarah said to him with a frightened tone before removing the clothes she was putting on and beginning to put on the one given to her by Charles. ______________________________________As she was putting on the clothes, Charles brought out his phone and placed a call across some of his men but none of them picked up.Damnit," he muttered once again before placing a call across someone else who picked up after some minutes of ringing."Hello is the jet read
After discussing with Ben on the phone, Xavier drove to Sarah's house to see if she was at home or whether her Richard had any idea about her whereabouts, but on getting to their house, he was informed by the security guard that none of them were at home, that Richard had gone to the hospital for some checkups and since when Sarah left for work in the morning, she haven't gotten back home. On hearing this, Xavier collected Richard's phone number from the security guard and placed a call across him to ask about Sarah's whereabouts but to his greatest astonishment, his phone wasn't going through, it was switched off. Seeing this, he immediately got more suspicious, and at the same time, thousands of thoughts started running through his mind. As he was still trying to connect the whole puzzle, he immediately got the idea of Richard being abducted and then the abductor requesting for her to show up if not he or she would hurt her uncle. Even though he wasn't sure about it, he knew that i
Meanwhile, Sarah woke up some minutes later only to find herself lying down on a huge comfortable bed and in a well decorated room.Once she woke up the memories of her being shot with a strange syringe and a walking towards her as she was passing out came back playing in her head and without hesitating she jolted up from the bed while panting heavily and at the same time she remembered about her uncle and without hesitating she rushed to the door to open it but found out that it was locked. After twisting the handle of the door for some minutes, she started banging on it so that whoever was outside could hear it and just as expected, she heard the footsteps of someone walking towards the direction of the door and when the person got to the front of the door he stopped and with that she started hearing the sound of keys as the person was about to open the door.Once the door bursted open Charles walked inside while looking fierce like never before and followed by him were two armed m
"Okay, whenever you do it, just let me know," Xavier said to Sarah, who rolled her eyes at him before walking away. Getting into her office, she sat down on her chair and switched on her computer and was about to start working when her phone started ringing once again. Sighing heavily, she took the phone and checked the caller ID, which was her uncle, before picking it up, but when she placed the phone on her ear, the voice of the person she heard was totally different from that of her uncle, and hearing the person's voice alone sent shivers down her spine._________________________________________"Charles," Sarah muttered as her hand started trembling."Hello sweetheart, surprise!! How have you been?" Charles asked her through the phone."Charles, what are you doing with my father's phone?" Sarah asked him with a frightened tone, fearing that it shouldn't be what she was thinking."Ooh that, we are just having a chitchat," Charles said to her through the phone."What do you mean by
"Switch on the television and go and go to any news channel," Richard said to her."Okay, Dad," Sarah said to him before standing up and walking to where the remote of the television in the conference room was, and with that, she switched it on and started searching for a news channel and at the same time wondering what the issue was._______________________________________As she found the news channel, she immediately switched to it before hanging up the phone in order to hear clearly what was being said on the television. Meanwhile, Xavier, seeing her switch on the television while taking the call, sat down in order to see what was going to be displayed on the television.Immediately she switched to the news channel, the news about the arrest of the famous syndicate named Old Man started displaying. According to the news, an anonymous contact sent every single piece of information about him to the cops, including his three hidden warehouses, giving the cops the opportunity to arre
It was a Tuesday morning. Sarah was supposed to meet up with a new client who she wanted to finalize a very important deal that will profit the company enormously. They were supposed to finalize the deal a week or two after her marriage with Charles, but since the marriage didn't take place anymore, she called the client and asked him if he would be able to come over during the week so that they could finalize the deal. Since the client was a little bit free, he told her that he would come over the following day, which is Tuesday.Walking into the company, Sarah went to her office and dropped her bag before taking all the necessary documents that were needed for the finalization of the deal, and with that, she started heading to the conference room where the meeting was going to take place. Getting into the conference room, she was surprised to see only Xavier and the secretary inside the conference room discussing with each other, but the client wasn't present.Seeing them, she immed
