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
"Sir, I'm still surprised that she allowed you to enter her car," Ben said to Xavier before looking at him through the central mirror of the car."Yeah, I was surprised too. I thought she was going to call the security on me or something like that, but she did nothing of the sort. By the way, did you find out anything about Charles?" Xavier asked him."No, sir; aside from the things we already know, I didn't find out any other thing," Ben said to him."Well, keep on searching; I just have this strong feeling that he's hiding something, but I can't yet get a grasp of what it is. But just keep on searching; if you notice anything strange, just let me know," Xavier said to Ben with his gaze still fixed on his phone."Okay," Ben said to him in reply.After some minutes, an incoming call from an unknown number popped into Xavier's phone, narrowing his brows in surprise. He picked up the phone and placed it on his ear."Hello, who is this?" Xavier asked through the phone. ."Hello Xavier, h
"I'm leaving?" Claudia said to him with no emotion."What?" Xavier asked her in surprise._________________"What do you mean by you are leaving? Is this some kind of joke?" Xavier asked her with a surprised tone."Joke?" Claudia asked him before bursting into a round of laughter."Do I like someone who is joking? Since you decided to sell your company even when I asked you not to, enjoy your miserable and single life. Just as I said earlier, I'm not ready to toil in poverty with you. The divorce papers are on the table; I have signed my own part; make sure you sign yours as soon as possible," Claudia said to him with no emotion."Claudia, I want to ask you a question, and I want you to be sincere with me," Xavier said to Claudia, and she nodded in reply."Did you ever love me, or were you after my money all this time?" Xavier asked her while peering into her eyeballs."I loved you and I have always loved you, but I'm allergic to poverty. I don't see any reason to stay with you if you
"Sarah, are you sure that you want to buy Xavier's company?" Richard asked Sarah as they were having their breakfast."Come on, Dad, I thought we had talked about this last night; I have made up my mind; I'm buying the company," Sarah said to Richard while eating her meal."But you are having difficulties managing the two branches of Ethic Textiles; how are you planning to manage three companies at the same time?" Richard asked Sarah, who was busy eating her meal, while nodding her head at the rythme of the music playing through the airpod in her ear."Dad, I'm not planning to manage three companies at the same time; I'm planning to sell the company in England," Sarah said to her uncle, who widened his eyes in surprise immediately."What?" He asked Sarah with furrowed brows."Yes, Dad, I'm planning to sell the company and invest the money in Xavier's company, which is going to become mine," Sarah said to Richard, and immediately he sighed heavily, knowing that he had already given the
"Did I just hear that my son is missing?" Sarah asked Xavier with furrowed brows, and immediately he nodded in reply.___________________"We can go and look for him together if you want," Xavier said to Sarah while trying to touch her."Don't touch me," Sarah said to him with an icy glare before taking her handbag and walking out of Xavier's office, and immediately Xavier followed her from behind while dialing Ben's phone number. At the same time, Sarah took the phone and started dialing the number of the only person who she knew could help her, which was Charles.After some minutes of ringing, he picked up."Good morning, my love, how are you?" Charles asked Sarah over the phone."I'm fine. What about you?" Sarah asked him before entering her car."Actually, I wanted to call you; it's just that I was a little...""Charles remembered that you told me that whenever it comes to me your help is unlimited?" Sarah asked Charles over the phone."Yes, but why are you reminding me of that?"
Once Sarah left Xavier's company, a feeling of guilt and regret overwhelmed her, and immediately thousands of questions started running through her mind."Why did she leave her child in the first place?""Why didn't she try to claim him back once she returned to New York City, and if something bad happens to him, is she going to be able to forgive herself for it? And what if Justin believes that she abandoned him and decides never to forgive him?As these thoughts were running through her mind, hot tears started streaming down her cheeks, making her vision blurry. Without hesitating, she quickly wiped the tears away, and immediately she saw a child who was wearing the same school uniform as Justin, and he was standing in front of the road, trying to cross to the other side of the road.Without hesitating, she pulled over, got down from the car, and started running towards the child, not minding the fact that she hadn't even parked the car properly."Justin! Justin! She called out to t
"Now that my second Mummy has divorced Daddy and left, are the two of you going to come back together so that we can become one happy family just like in the movies?" He asked Sarah while peering into her eyeballs.__________________"Justin remembered I told you that there are things I can't tell you now?" Sarah asked him before looking at him."Yes, Mummy," Justin said to him."Well, this question you asked is among them; when the right time comes, I will give you an answer," Sarah said to him before returning her gaze towards the steering."Are you hungry?" Sarah asked him after some minutes of silence."Yes, Mum," Justin said to him in reply.With that, she took her phone, which was already connected to the Bluetooth of the car, and placed a call across her uncle, who picked up after some minutes of ringing."Hi Sarah, how are you doing?" Her uncle asked through the phone."I'm fine, Dad. I'm bringing Justin back home. Please ask the maids to prepare something delicious for him,"
Adrian was in Charles' office as usual, with his two legs placed on his desk, as he was busy manipulating his phone while awaiting Charles' arrival.Suddenly, the door burst open, and immediately Charles walked into the office.Once Adrian saw the deadly look on his face, he immediately jolted up from his chair, leaving the road for him to go and sit down.Without uttering a single word to Adrian, he removed his jacket and kept it on the edge of his chair before sitting down and sighing heavily.Opening the drawer of his desk, he took a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and was about to lighten it when Adrian's voice interrupted him."You aren't planning to smoke in the office, or are you?" Adrian asked him, and immediately he sighed heavily before returning the cigarette and lighter back to the drawer."What happened?" Adrian asked him."She found him before us; I don't know how she managed to do it; my men almost had him; the only thing remaining was getting the boy into the van with
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
