It was four p.m. in the evening, and Xavier had just finished working on the files Ben had brought for him.Sighing heavily, he leaned back on the sofa, and immediately his mind drifted off to the plan Ben had talked to him about. It's true that the plan is very risky and dangerous, and if things don't go as planned, they will be in a lot of trouble, and they might even end up in prison, but he was also running out of time. Sarah's marriage to Charles was around the corner, and he hadn't even figured out a way to prevent them from getting married. The only plan available was that of Ben, and if he doesn't come up with a better plan in the next two weeks, he won't have any other choice but to put that of Ben into execution, no matter how risky it is. This won't be his first time taking such a risk, since Sarah came back to New York City, he has done many crazy things in order to get her back, and among those things is selling his company and asking to become her personal assistant, ev
Smiling to himself, he picked up the call and placed the phone in his ear."Hello, wifey, how are you doing?" Xavier asked Sarah over the phone.______________________"I think you meant to say hello, boss. How are you doing?" Sarah said to Xavier through the phone."Yes, I also had that in mind, but being my boss doesn't prevent you from being my wife," Xavier said to her."Stop it, Xavier; I'm not and will never be your wife, so stop addressing me like that. I'm already engaged to another man, and he won't be happy to hear another man address me as wife, especially if the man is my ex-husband," Sarah said to him through the phone."Ooh, sorry about that, Mrs. Sarah. I hope you are okay with me calling me that." Xavier asked her."Yes, that's okay with me; you can also call me Mrs. Smith," Sarah said to Xavier, and immediately he scoffed inwardly."Sorry, but I can't call you that," Xavier said to her."Can I know why?" Sarah asked him, enjoying how his tone changed when she asked hi
Since the previous Saturday, when Justin asked Sarah not to get married to Charles and she refused, both of them haven't been on good terms as usual.From the way Justin has been reacting coldly with her, she could tell that he was angry at her, and the worst part of the whole story is that there's nothing she can do about what he was asking for. She can't just break up with Charles for no valid reason; the fact that Justin doesn't like him isn't a valid reason to break up with him, and they had also announced on their social media handles that they were getting married the following month. Due to Sarah's reputations, she can't just announce to everyone that she's calling off the marriage because her son doesn't like her new fiancée; surely everyone is going to portray her as a bad person, and that would be very bad for her companies.The only option she has is to find a way to convince Justin to give Charles a chance, and that was exactly what she was going to do.As usual, after bat
After dropping Justin off at school, Sarah started heading to the company; in less than twenty minutes, she was already at the company.Once she arrived, the security guards came and opened the door of the car for her, and at the same time, the reporters who were in front of the company reporting everything that was going on ran towards her and started bombarding her with questions, but happily, the security guards were around to shield her from the reporters until she got inside the company.Once she got inside the company, she started heading directly to her office while maintaining a straight face. Meanwhile, the employees, knowing that she's the new boss, kept on greeting her as she was heading to her office without uttering a word to anyone.As she was heading to her office, someone greeted her from behind, and immediately she turned around and saw a young lady standing behind her while holding some files."You are Tasha, the secretary, right?" Sarah asked her, and she nodded in
"Why are you stammering? This wasn't how you were sounding yesterday on the phone, or have I started having effects on you?" Xavier asked her while peering into her eyeballs."Xavier," she tried calling his name again, but once again she stammered.'This is going to be fun,' Xavier thought inwardly.___________________________Meanwhile, Sarah, not wanting to stammer, once again decided to keep silent."You see, Sarah, right from the beginning, you have always been mine, and you will always be mine, and do you know why? It's because I'm the only one who knows how to render you speechless and also make you feel wanted at the same time; aside from me, no one else can do that.Tell me, since you started dating your so-called fiancee, or whatever you call him, has he ever made you feel wanted, just like I do? I want you to be sincere with me,even if it's for this time only," Xavier said to her while peering into her innocent eyeballs."You are right, Xavier; you are the only man who has e
"Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together as we welcome to the stage Mrs. Sarah Jones, the CEO of Ethic Textiles and presently the CEO of Quim Corporation," the master of ceremonies announced, and with that, everyone started applauding as Sarah stood up from where she was sitting beside Charles and started heading to the stage.Once she came to the stage, she cleared herself before proceeding."Hello everyone! Thank you all for honoring my invitation; I really appreciate it. As you know, I just bought this company, which means that I'm now the CEO of the company. After everything the company has been through recently, I have decided to reboot the system of the company and start from scratch. I know this will be a new beginning for Quim Corporation, and it's not going to be easy, but with the help of the new investors and new clients we will be able to overcome any difficulties we will meet.I will also appreciate it if no one views the company by its old image; let us vie
Xavier could clearly see everyone's eyes on him as he was heading to the stage. After all his efforts to stay away from the press concerning the issue of working as Sarah's personal assistant in her former company, he was finally going to reveal to everyone if he was true or not and why he decided to do that.One thing was sure: after the ceremony, he was going to make the MC pay for humiliating him before everyone; he wasn't Sarah, she was the only one who could humiliate him and go scot-free.Once he got to the stage, he glared angrily at the MC before sitting down."Welcome to the stage, Mr. Xavier Quim," the MC said to him."Thank you," Xavier said to him, his voice void of emotion."Actually, there have been some rumors circulating about you applying to become the personal assistant of Mrs. Sarah Jones, who is the CEO of your former company and also your ex-wife; we wanted to know if it's true or false, and if it's true, then why?" The MC asked him."Yes, it's true. I applied to
"I want to talk to you about Mr. Renold," Xavier said to her."Yes, what happened to him?" Sarah asked him with furrowed brows."I want you to fire him," Xavier said to her."What?" Sarah asked him with furrowed brows."You mean you want me to fire Mr. Renold Gonzalez, the first person who invested in this company, even though he wasn't yet sure that I was going to buy it or not?" Sarah asked Xavier with furrowed brows."Yes," Xavier said to her in reply."And why should I do that?" Sarah asked Xavier."Because he's not a trustworthy person," Xavier said to Sarah, and immediately she scoffed at him."As if you are a trustworthy person," she muttered lowly."What?" Xavier asked her, not hearing what she said."I said that what you just told me isn't a valid reason to fire him. Imagine me calling him and telling him that I'm firing him because someone told me that he isn't trustworthy. Does that make sense to you? And secondly, I just announced to everyone some hours ago that he's one o
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
