"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
"Is everything okay?" Sarah asked him because of his facial expression."Yes, everything is okay. I want you to fire Xavier now." Charles said to her:."What!!!" Sarah exclaimed in surprise."Yes, you heard me right; I want you to fire Xavier right away," Charles said to Sarah while clinching his fist in anger."Seriously? What on earth is wrong with the both of you? Xavier came here some minutes ago, asking me to fire Mr. Renold Gonzalez because he isn't a trustworthy person, and now here you are asking me to fire Xavier. Can I know why you are asking me to fire him?" Sarah asked Charles with furrowed brows."Come on, Sarah, you know well that right from the beginning, Xavier has been against us getting married, and now you have made him your personal assistant, giving him not only the opportunity to be close to you almost the whole day but also the opportunity to find a way to prevent us from getting married. Xavier is your enemy, meaning he is my enemy too, and you aren't supposed
"Hey bro, where have you been through the whole? I called you more than three times, but you didn't pick up," Adrian said to Charles, who just entered the office looking tired."Where do you think I have been?" Charles asked Adrian, who had already stood up, so that he could sit down.If I'm not mistaken, you were with your fiancée, right?" Adrian asked Charles."Yeah, exactly. After the inauguration ceremony, I followed her to check out the wedding gown she was going to put on on the wedding day," Charles said to Adrian, who started beaming with smiles."Wow, I can't believe that my friend, who was determined never to get married, is finally going to get married, and it's not even to any lady but to one of the richest ladies in New York City," Adrian said to Charles, who scoffed at him."Whatever, bro, you know well that if it depended on me, I would never get married, even if it were to the daughter of the president of the USA. I mean, how can you expect a man to spend his whole lif
It was some minutes to six PM, Xavier had just finished working on the tons of files Sarah had asked him to work on.Looking at the tons of documents he had worked on he just couldn't believe his eyes.If someone had told him in the past that one day he would be the work he used to ask his employees to do, he would have never believed it, but right now he's the one doing it and it's not as if he didn't have a choice, of course he had a choice, he has he new company that he haven't revealed to anyone but he has Sarah from getting married to Charles at all cost knowing that Charles'act of love towards her isn't genuine and secondly Charles getting married to her is going to ruin his every chance of winning her back.So he's ready to make any sacrifice to get her back, even if it means working as her personal assistant in the same company in which he has been a CEO not minding what people had to say about it.After all what he's going through is nothing compared to what he made her go th
Once Xavier arrived at the garage, he opened his car and got in, after dropping his briefcase on the passenger seat, he inserted the car in the ignition point of the car and tried igniting the car but it didn't respond, furrowing his brows in surprise he tried igniting it once again but still it didn't respond.After some minutes of trying he opened the bonnet of the car before getting down from the car to check what the problem was, but once he got down, his gaze went directly to the front tyre of the car and to his greatest surprise it had already inflated."Seriously!!!" He exclaimed in frustration while ruffling his hair.Without uttering a word, he returned to the car and took his briefcase that was on the passenger's seat and started walking out of the garage heading to the roadside.Once he came out, he flagged down a taxi and once it stopped he got in and told the driver where he was heading.Sighing heavily he took his phone and started manipulating it, not wanting to think
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
