"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?" Charles asked her.
"That's because I need your help," Sarah said to him while praying that he help her out.
"Okay, what can I help you with?" Charles asked her.
"Justin is missing," Sarah said to him.
"What? Come on, Sarah, I'm not Superman or Batman; you can't just call me and tell me to help a friend of yours who I know nothing about," Charles said to her.
"Justin is my son, not my friend," Sarah said to him with anger.
"Ooh, wait just a minute; you never told me that you had a son," Charles said to her.
"At least I told you that I had a husband; it's the son I had with him," Sarah said to him.
"Ok, I understand. I hope you have his picture because I can't find someone who I don't know," Charles said to her.
"Yes, I have his picture; I will send it to you right away," Sarah said to him before hanging up. Once she hung up, she immediately searched for the pictures of Justin that were in her phone. Once she found them, she quickly sent them to Charles before driving out of the company in search of Justin.
Once Charles received the message, he immediately placed a call with one of his friends who was a tracker. After discussing it with him for some minutes, he sent the photos to him.
"Wow, bro, with the way Sarah looks young and elegant, who would believe that she had a child in the past?" Adrian, who was inside Charles' office while he was taking the call, asked him.
"To be sincere, I thought she was joking when she said that the person who she was talking about was her son; if not for the fact that the boy in the picture resembled her, I would never have believed it," Charles said to Adrian before sighing heavily.
"Do you have any idea of who's the father of the child?" Adrian asked Charles.
"Yes, it's Xavier; they were both married, but for a reason unknown to anyone, they divorced later on," Charles said to Adrian.
"Wow, I never knew that Sarah too has her own secrets, so now that you know that she has a child, are you still in love with her?" Adrian asked Charles with a mockery tone.
"Look, bro, I was never in love with her, so whether she has a child or not, I don't give a damn; I'm only doing my work, and that's it," Charles said to Adrian with a serious tone.
"Thank goodness you have finally come back to your senses. Don't you think that you should inform the old man that Sarah has a child? The information might help him in the future," Adrian said to him.
"I think you are right; I'm telling him right away," Charles said to Adrian before taking a call and placing a call across to the old man, who picked up after some minutes of ringing.
"Good morning, sir. How are you?" Charles asked the old man over the phone.
"I'm good. What about you?" The old man asked him.
"I'm good, sir; actually, I wanted to ask you something," Charles said to him.
"Ok, go on; I'm all ears," the old man said to him.
"I wanted to ask if you are aware that Sarah has a child?" Charles asked him.
"No, of course; does she have one?" The old man asked him with a surprised tone.
"I guess so, sir; he is even missing, and they are searching for him right now," Charles said to him.
"Really?" The old man asked Charles.
"Yes, sir," Charles said to him in reply.
"If that's the case, find him and bring him for me," the old man said to Charles.
"Ok, boss, I have asked some of our men to look for him," Charles said to him.
"Perfect, I'm really proud of you. You took such an important decision that would benefit all of us. If we find that child, then you won't need to pretend to be in love with Sarah anymore; you can get rid of her and earn the freedom you have been yawning for. Remember, this is your last mission before you earn independence?" The old man asked him.
"Yes, sir, I'm aware of that," Charles said to him.
"That's good; make sure you find him and bring him to me before Sarah, and if you have pictures of the child, send them to me," the old man said to him.
"Ok, sir, I will send it to you right away," Charles said to him before hanging up. Once he hung up, he sent the pictures to the old man before grabbing his jacket and taking his car keys.
"Where are you going?" Adrian asked him.
"The old man wants the child; if I bring him to the old man, then I'm a free man," Charles said to him.
"Wow, you are owing me a favor; you know that, right?" Adrian asked him.
"Yeah, I will if I succeed in finding him before Sarah and Xavier and taking him to the old man," Charles said to him while walking out of the office.
"Good luck," Adrian said to him.
"Thanks a lot," Charles said to him while hurrying to the garage to take his car.
To be continued...
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,"
"What is the meaning of this?" Sarah thundered angrily at her husband while showing him the document she was holding."What does that look like? he asked her with a wicked smirk while caressing the face of the newborn baby that was sleeping peacefully on his lap.Sarah, unable to comprehend what was going on, kept staring at him, waiting for an explanation.They just returned from the hospital some hours ago after she successfully gave birth to the first fruit of her womb, after their return, she decided to sleep a little due to how tired she was. Upon waking up, she saw some documents beside her on the bed. Without hesitating, she took the document to check what it was. She was surprised to see that it was a divorce paper already signed by her husband, and her baby, who was sleeping in the baby layer, wasn't in the room anymore.With her heart pounding heavily, she ran to the sitting room only to see her baby sleeping peacefully on her husband's laps. At least that was a relief to he
Looking at Claudia, Sarah couldn't believe her ears; everything was like a movie before her. First, it was Xavier, her husband, revealing to her that he never loved her, that for the past three years they had been together, he had only been pretending to love her while patiently waiting for her to reach the terms of an agreement that she wasn't even aware of, and now Claudia, her best friend, is revealing to her that she was the wife of her husband, probably the wife that Xavier said he had married for a very long time ago, but she was barren.Actually, Sarah had met Claudia three years ago on the day of her wedding with Xavier. Xavier had presented Claudia to her as a business partner, and some weeks after the wedding, they still met again in Belize City, where Xavier had taken her for the honeymoon. According to her, she had come to Belize City for a business deal. After discussing it with her for a while, they exchanged phone numbers, and that was how their friendship began. Only i
Once he asked her that question, the tears she had been withholding right from when she left Xavier's house started streaming down freely on her cheeks, three years ago her uncle had strictly forbidden her from getting married to Xavier, warning her that he was going to shatter her tender heart, he had great plans for her after she finishes university but being blinded by her love for Xavier she left the house and proceeded with the marriage. She was surprised that with all the power and connections he had, he didn't do anything to prevent the marriage from taking place, probably he knew that the marriage wasn't going to last long and just as predicted it didn't last long and he also shattered her heart just as he predicted too.As a girl he single-handedly raised right from childhood, he could tell how hurt she was from the way he was crying; he could clearly see the pain and agony written all over her face. No matter how angry he was at her, he could never bring himself to watch her
Whispers could be heard in Ethic Textiles, one of the biggest textile companies in England, as the employees were gathered around discussing with each other since the CEO hadn't yet arrived.As they were busy discussing, one of the employees who was standing near the window immediately rushed towards his colleagues."Hey guys, she just arrived," he informed his colleagues, and immediately they widened their eyes in surprise."Where's the coin? Let us flip it." He said to his colleagues, and without hesitating, one of them brought a coin and handed it to him.Collecting the coin from him, he flipped it, and immediately it fell on the table. When they saw on which side it fell, they all widened their eyes in surprise."Bad mood!!!" They all exclaimed in fright before scampering away, each one occupying his position while awaiting the CEO's arrival.Actually, the CEO was none other than Sarah. It's been over five years since she came to England, becoming the CEO of Ethic Textiles, one of
It was a sunny day at LaGuardia Airport, one of the biggest airports in New York City. People could be seen walking in and out of the airport with their luggage, while a lady could be seen walking out of the airport premises with her luggage, black glasses covering her eyes, and a white hat covering her hair.Once she came out, she started looking around as if she were looking for someone. After looking for some minutes, she brought out her phone and was about to place a call when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Without hesitating, she turned around to see who it was. Once she saw the person, she widened her eyes in surprise and screamed "dad!!!" before leaving her luggage and hugging the person tightly."And here I was thinking that you didn't miss me," Richard Sarah's uncle asked her as she was hugging him."Of course I didn't miss you," she said to him with a frown before disengaging from the hug."Because of you, I had to leave my perfect life in England and come back to New Y
"Dad!!! Aren't you done yet?" Sarah asked her uncle from the sitting room where she was sitting."Just a minute dear, I'm almost done," her uncle screamed from his room."Please dad hurry up, you know how much I hate being late to an event," she said to him with a deep frown.If there was one thing that Sarah hated the most it was being late to an event, right from when she became the CEO of Ethic Textiles in England, punctuality is something that she have always prioritized both in the company and in her private life; in any event she wanted to attend, she always made sure to the at venue twenty or thirty minutes before the agreed time, in the company she have fired many employees for being late, and even where she is right now, if she learns that any employee is not being punctual, she won't hesitate to fire the employee."How do I look?" Her uncle asked her as he was coming down from the stairs."Handsome as usual despite the old age, I wonder how you managed to remain single till
"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, 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
"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
"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
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
"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
"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."Lo
