"Actually, it's about Charles and Sarah; I want you to stop them from getting married," Xavier said to him."What!!" Richard exclaimed with furrowed brows.___________________"You mean you want me to ask Sarah not to get married to Charles?" Richard asked Xavier with a furrowed."Yes," Charles said to Richard, and immediately he scoffed at him."And why should I do that?" Richard asked him."Because Charles isn't really who you guys think he is," Charles said to him."And who is he in reality?" Richard asked him."For now I can't answer that, but believe me, Charles is not who you guys think he is, and soon you will understand what I'm saying, and maybe by the time you will understand it, it's already too late because Sarah is already married to him," Xavier said to Richard, and immediately he huffed before inserting his two hands into his pocket."You see, Xavier, I know that you still love Sarah and are ready to do everything in your power to get her back, but that isn't a valid re
It has been a very busy and hectic week for Sarah. Since the beginning of the week, she has been taking care of all the judicial agreement forms she has to take care of before being proclaimed the official owner of Quim Corporation.While purchasing the company, she hadn't imagined that she would go through many stressful processes before being recognized as the new CEO of the company. She had thought that just signing the transfer of ownership agreement with Xavier was enough, but unknown to her, there were still many processes on the way. It wasn't like that of Ethic Textiles, where all she had to do was sign a simple contract while her uncle took care of the remaining processes for her.Meanwhile, she had just returned from one of the companies where she went to take care of some of the judicial agreements.Once she entered her office, she saw the dozens of files waiting for her on top of her desk. She had worked on some of them the previous day, leaving the rest behind, and the do
"I want us to get married next month," Charles said to her."Already?" Sarah asked him with furrowed brows."Yes, of course," Charles said to her in reply."But don't you think it's too early? I mean, it hasn't even been up to a month since you proposed to me, and I don't even know many things about you, like what you like, what you don't like, what you do in your leisure time, and also who your parents are," Sarah said to him."Well, you are right about that and it's not totally my fault. We are both so occupied with our daily activities that we don't even make time for ourselves. If you want, we can choose some days in the week and spend them together in order to know ourselves better, or since tomorrow is Saturday, we can spend the day together," Charles said to her."Sounds good to me; we will be spending the weekend together then," Sarah said to him."So, where do we spend the weekend? Will you come over to my house?" Charles asked Sarah before taking a sip of her drink, and imme
It was nine p.m. in the night, and Sarah had just gotten back home after spending one of her best moments with Charles at the bar.After parking her car in the garage, she walked inside her house only to find her uncle alone in the sitting room watching the news, which was unlike him since Justin arrived. Even though he didn't like watching cartoons, he still watched it with Justin, knowing that he was too young to watch news. He would only get bored while watching it, and he wouldn't still understand."Hey Sarah, you are back. It seems like you had a lot to do at the company today." Richard asked her."Yeah, I actually had a long day, but that wasn't the reason why I had come back late; Charles actually took me out after work," Sarah said to him before sitting down on the couch opposite him."Okay, I hope you enjoyed his company." Richard asked her."Yes, I did. By the way, where is Justin?" Sarah asked him."He's with his father; he will be spending the weekend with him," Richard sa
It was a Saturday morning in New York City, and Xavier was still sleeping peacefully on his bed, not minding the fact that it was almost nine a.m. Saturday being a weekend, he didn't need to bother himself; if it were other days, he would have probably been at work before nine a.m. unless he had something to take care of before heading to work.As he was lying on the bed, the morning sun started penetrating through the transparent window, projecting directly onto his face.Groaning tiredly, he tried getting up from the bed to go and close the window, and immediately he felt a little body lying beside him. With that, he turned around, only to see Justin lying beside him on the bed with his two eyes wide open."Good morning, Dad," Justin greeted him once he turned around."Yes, good morning, young man. Can I know what you are doing in my room?" Xavier asked him while scrubbing his hand on his face."Nothing," Justin said to him, and immediately Xavier furrowed his brows at him."What do
Richard was sitting on the dining table, enjoying his breakfast, while at the same time reading the news on his phone.Suddenly he started hearing footsteps of someone coming down from the stairs. Looking up, he noticed that it was Sarah, and with that, he furrowed his brows in surprise, knowing that on Saturdays, Sarah rarely wakes up early in the morning; if she wakes up earlier, it's around twelve PM; if not, she's capable of sleeping till two PM; and sometimes he's the one who wakes her up in order to be sure that something didn't happen to her while she was sleeping."Good morning, Dad. Can I know why you are looking at me like someone who has seen a ghost?" Sarah asked him, jolting him back to reality."Good morning, Sarah. Actually, I was surprised by the fact that you woke up earlier today, which is Saturday, or did you forget that today is Saturday?" Richard asked Sarah, who had already taken her seat next to him. "Of course, I'm well aware that today is Saturday," Sarah sa
"What took you so long?" Charles asked Sarah as they were walking to the garage."Nothing; I was busy getting myself ready," Sarah said to him before entering the car."Only that? You took more than two hours; I hope you are aware of that?" Charles asked her before igniting the car and driving out of the mansion."Come on babe, I'm a woman for crying out loud. You can't expect me to get ready in less than thirty minutes just like you guys do, and mind you, I was preparing to go out with my fiancee, so I had to take my time in order to look beautiful for you," Sarah said to Charles while expecting him to smile at least, but he maintained a straight face while concentrating on the steering."Hey Charles, is everything okay?" Sarah asked him, and he hummed in reply."Really? Then what's with the long face?" Sarah asked him."Nothing," he said to her without sparing her a glance."Are you angry at me because I wasn't ready earlier?" Sarah asked him."No, Sarah, and can you please stop bom
"Let me guess; you have done a thorough background check on me, and you are already aware that I'm not hiding my identity," Charles said to Sarah, and immediately she widened her eyes in surprise."How did you know?" She asked Charles with a surprised tone.___________________Come on, Sarah, don't give me that surprised look. Do you think that I wasn't going to find out?" Charles asked Sarah while grinning ear to ear."Well, you weren't supposed to find out," Sarah said to him."But I did," Charles said to her confidently while grinning ear to ear."But how?" Sarah asked him."Will you believe me if I tell you how?" Charles asked Sarah, and she nodded in reply."Well, it's the private investigators you hired to run a background check on me who informed me."What!!!" Sarah exclaimed in surprise, and immediately Charles smiled at her."You see, I knew you wouldn't believe it," Charles said to her."No, it's not it; I'm just surprised. Do you mind telling me the name of the investigator
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
