On hearing that statement, Sarah immediately choked on the food she was eating, and without hesitating, she took the water on the table and gulped it down in order to calm herself down.

The last time someone told her that he wanted her was six years ago, and the person who told her that was Xavier. In the case of Xavier, she loved it when he said that to her because it made her feel wanted and desired, but hearing it from Charles only got her enraged. To her, it was as if he was asking to do to her what Xavier had done to her some years ago.

"Are you okay?" Charles asked her with a concerned tone.

"Yes, I'm okay," Sarah said to her before keeping the glass of water on the table.

"I'm so sorry; I never knew that my expressions would have such an effect on you," Charles said to Sarah, who was already cleaning her mouth, leaving the remaining food behind.

"No problem, Mr. Charles; actually, I'm not a property that you can own, so you can't tell me that you want me," Sarah said to him.

    Once Sarah saw them, her heart skipped immediately. Without thinking twice, she stepped on the brakes of the car. With her heart pounding heavily, she tried to reverse, but it was already too late; the men were already raining bullets on the car while approaching her. With the way the four men were shooting at the car and reloading their guns once it ran out of bullets, it was clear that they weren't trying to scare her or something like that; they were determined to kill her.As the men were still approaching the car and firing at it, Sarah kept on driving backwards with her heart pounding heavily and hot sweats streaming down her body despite the cold weather. Fortunately for her, the car was bulletproofed, and she had already whined up the mirrors of the car when the masked men started shooting at her, so the bullets weren't having much effect on the car as it was reversing.When they noticed that their bullets weren't having any effects on the car and that the car was also slowly

    "I would have really loved to offer you a ride, but you are still owing me something," Charles said to her as she was stepping down from her own car."What is it that I'm owing you?" Sarah asked him after getting out of the car."You still haven't thanked me for saving your life," Charles said to her."Ooh, pardon me for that; thank you for saving me; I would have actually been dead by now if not for you; and sorry for also calling you a murderer," Sarah said to Charles with an apologetic tone."Apologies accepted; let's get going; the cops will be here soon; I don't want to be the one to answer their questions," Charles said to Sarah, who nodded in reply before following him from behind.As they were heading towards Charle's car, Sarah could see the bodies of the four men lying lifelessly on the ground with blood gushing out of their foreheads. From the view of things, it was clear that Charles had shot all of them at the same spot, which was their forehead; probably that was to make

    It was seven a.m., and Sarah had just finished preparing for work. Without hesitating, she took her handbag and started heading downstairs. Once she came down, she saw her uncle sitting before the dining table, manipulating his phone while waiting for her to come and join him so that they would have breakfast together.That has always been the routine whenever she was around. Richard always made sure that she had breakfast with her before she left for work because if she left without eating, she might probably stay the whole morning without eating anything. It's probably during break that she might find the time to grab something to eat."Good morning, dad. How was your night?" Sarah asked him before approaching him and kissing him on his bald head, and immediately Richard glared at her angrily."My night's rest was fine; what about yours?" Richard asked her."Mine too was fine; you know you don't always have to wait for me before having breakfast; you can have your breakfast, and whe

    "Who was that?" Adrian asked Charles, who had just hung up the call he was making with Richard."It's Richard, the father of the lady I'm trying to win over," Charles said to Adrian before placing his two legs on the desk."Her father? Why was he calling you?" Adrian asked him with furrowed brows."He wanted to remind me of the agreement we had," Charles said to him shortly."Wait just a minute, I don't get it. You mean the father of the lady is aware of the reasons why you are trying to get his daughter to fall in love with you?" Adrian asked Charles with furrowed brows."No, of course; how can you even imagine such a thing?" Charles asked Adrian with an angry tone."Then tell me why he called," Adrian urged insistently."Come on, dude, must you know everything?" Charles asked him."Yes, of course, you know how curious I am, and we both know that you aren't going to have peace until you tell me," Adrian said to Charles, and immediately he sighed heavily before rubbing his hand on his

What about you?" Ben asked Xavier, whose gaze was still fixed on the computer."I'm good too; please have a seat," Xavier said to him while tapping continuously on the keyboard of his computer.After some minutes, Xavier sighed heavily before raising his head and looking at Ben, who was sitting silently in front of him."How was the delivery yesterday?" Xavier asked him."It was fine; as usual, there weren't any complications," Ben said to him."I'm happy to hear that; actually, the reason I called you was to inquire about the mission I had assigned to you," Xavier said to him."Which of the missio

    It was a fifteen-minute ride from the company to the restaurant. Once they got to the restaurant, Sarah widened her eyes in surprise, seeing how huge the restaurant was. It was partly a restaurant and a nightclub.Judging from the disco lights, the parking lot, the building, and the people entering and coming out of the restaurant, one could already tell that it was a restaurant frequented by rich people."Jeez, Lucy, I said a restaurant, not a nightclub," Sarah said to Lucy, who was busy applying some makeup to her face with her makeup kits. "Don't worry, it's merged with a restaurant," Lucy said to Sarah before passing her the makeup kit she was holding. "And why are you giving me this?" Sarah asked her with furrowed brows. "What is a makeup kit used for? Polish your face a little bit; you look awful," Lucy said to Sarah, and immediately she sighed heavily before returning the makeup kit to Lucy.

Lucy asked her with a furrowed eyebrow, and at the same time, Charles approached them while grinning ear to ear.Once Lucy saw him, she gasped in surprise because to how handsome he was; she didn't need a fortune-teller before knowing it was Charles she was talking about."Good evening, handsome," Lucy greeted him before standing up."Sarah, I'm already full. I will go and dance a little bit before we start going back home," Lucy said to Sarah, and before she could utter a word, Lucy had already left. With that, Charles sat down on the chair next to Sarah."Good evening," Charles said, greeting Sarah, who was avoiding his gaze."Good evening, Charles. How are you?" Sarah asked him
