After discussing with her uncle for a little while, Sarah went and prepared for work. She wasn't going to allow a small issue like this one to prevent her from going to work; after all, it wasn't as if she did something wrong; she's a single lady, and dancing at her club with a man wasn't that bad after all; maybe the man in question might have been her boyfriend or fiancée. The issue there is that the masses wouldn't see it that way; instead, each one of them would draw their own conclusions, and worst of all, the face of the man who she was dancing with wasn't visible, and they might compare him to anyone.After getting prepared, she joined her uncle at sitting for breakfast. After saying a word of prayer, they started eating their food. "Are you sure you want to go to work today? You know you can take a day off today. It's true that none of your employees would say anything about it, but it would be good if you waited for the tension to reduce a little bit before resuming," her un
It was a fifteen-minute ride to Zenith Express Charles Company.Once Sarah got to the company, she walked directly to where the receptionist was."Good morning, ma'am. How may I help you?" The receptionist asked her."I have an appointment with the CEO," Sarah said to him."OK, a minute, let me inform him about your arrival," the receptionist said to her before placing a call across through Charles, who picked up after some minutes of ringing."Good morning, sir. Mrs. Sarah is here; she said she has an appointment with you," the receptionist said to Charles over the phone."Yes, please show her to my office," Charles said to the receptionist before hanging up."Ma'am, please follow me," the receptionist said to Sarah after hanging up. Without hesitating, Sarah followed her from behind as they started heading towards the elevator.Once they got in, she selected the fifth floor, and after some minutes, the elevator suddenly stopped, and the receptionist walked her to the front of an off
"Justin, for how long are you planning to keep on this face of yours?" Xavier asked Justin while driving him to school, but as usual, he remained silent while looking at the road through the window of the car.Since the previous night when he heard Xavier and Claudia quarreling about his mother, he had run to his room and locked himself inside and even when Xavier tried to speak with him, he had refused to open his room and listen to him.After knocking countless times and getting no reply, Xavier had no other choice but to leave him alone for the meantime, since he was the one that messed up.The following morning, when he finished preparing for school and came to the sitting room, he only greeted Xavier before joining him for breakfast. When Xavier tried to engage in a conversation with him, he didn't reply."Justin I'm talking to you," Xavier said to him, and immediately he turned around and looked at him before returning his gaze to the window once again."Look Justin, if it's abo
"Thank you so much Mrs. Catherine, that was a topnotch interview," Charles said to the journalist who was busy arranging the materials they had used for the interview alongside the camera operator."Don't mention it please, I only did my job. Normally, I'm the one who is supposed to be thanking you for confiding the job to me. If not, there are a lot of journalists out there, but you thought about me," the journalist said to Charles."Well that's because you deserve it, almost everyone in New York knows you as one of the best journalists, that's probably why he chose you," Sarah said to the journalist who smiled at her."Thanks for the recognition," she said to her while taking some of the materials she could carry."Don't mention it," Sarah said to her."We will be taking our leave now. It was really an honor walking for the both of you. Whenever you want to conduct another interview, don't hesitate to contact us," the journalist said to Charles and Sarah."No problems," Charles said
After the passionate moment with Sarah, Charles walked her to the garage where she took her car and started heading to her company.Once she left, he smiled at himself before returning to his office.When he got back to his office, he collapsed on his rotatable chair while grinning ear to ear.After some minutes of spinning around on the chair, he touched his lips, remembering how deep and passionate the kiss he got from Sarah was. It's true that this wasn't the first time he had kissed a lady. He had done it countless times, but for a reason unknown to him, the kiss he got from Sarah felt so special, both the sensation and everything, it was as if it was the first time he had been kissed by a lady, if Sarah hadn't broken the kiss to catch her breath, he didn't know if he would have able to break free, he just couldn't get enough of her.As these thoughts were running through his mind, he abruptly stopped and shook his head twice. This wasn't right, he was on a mission and wasn't suppo
"I think I'm falling in love with her," Charles said to Adrian."What!!" Adrian exclaimed in surprise before bursting into a round of laughter."What's funny with what I just said?" Charles asked Adrian with furrowed brows."What you just said now is a joke, right?" Adrian asked him after laughing to his satisfaction."No, of course, I'm damn serious," Charles said to Adrian, and immediately Adrian's demeanor changed.From the look on Adrian's face, Charles could already tell that he didn't take what he just said lightly."Have you gone crazy? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Adrian asked Charles while peering into his eyeballs.From the way he was talking to him and looking at him, one would doubt that Charles is the CEO and Adrian is his personal assistant."Come on, man, why are you getting yourself worked up? I didn't say that I have fallen in love with her already; I only said that because of how my body reacted when she kissed me this morning," Charles said to Adrian."Loo
"Good evening, Mr. Renold. How are you?" Sarah asked him before standing up and stretching out his hand for a handshake, to which he reciprocated immediately."Please have a seat,"Sarah said to him after the handshake, and with that, Mr. Renold sat down on the chair opposite Sarah."You should have informed me before arriving; I would have made some reservations before your arrival," Sarah said to him with a warm smile."Yeah, I really apologize for that. I was thinking about informing you, but after seeing a client in the area, I decided to see you immediately before taking my leave," Mr. Renold said to Sarah, and she nodded in reply."Well, to what do I owe the visit?" Sarah asked him."Actually, I wanted to inform you that I would love to become a shareholder in your company," he said to Sarah, and immediately she furrowed her brows at him."Really?" Sarah asked him, and he nodded positively."If I'm not mistaken, you recently withdrew all your shares from Quim Corporation; can I k
Once Xavier left, Sarah sighed heavily before igniting her car and zooming off. As she was driving back home, she couldn't help but think about the words Xavier had said to her; she could still hear his voice ringing in her head."You are still mine, whether you love it or not." "What is he up to? Is he planning to separate her and Charles? It's not even up to twenty-four hours since she agreed to become Charles girlfriend, and she's already been threatened and claimed as if she was some kind of object, and for a reason unknown to her, she couldn't even talk to him. It was unlike her; she was always in control whenever she met him, but this time he was the one who was in control, and she hated it. Now the only question she could ask herself was whether to inform Charles about it or not.As far as she knows Cahrles, he is surely going to attack Xavier once he hears about it, and if they aren't careful, the media might come to know about it, and that was the last thing she wanted in t
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
