Sarah’s POV"Don't you get it?" I barked loudly, glaring at her sharply. "Isn't this what you asked for.""I never asked for anything like this, Sarah!" He dismissed my words, shaking her head violently. "I have no intention of separating from you." He insisted and tried to move forward, but I moved further away from her while brushing off his hands that wanted to touch me.The expression on my face was unbearable. Staring at him with a glare while snorting sarcastically was a response that came out of nowhere. "Nonsense, from the way you mistreat me, ignoring me and making me feel so miserable all by myself, what do you want from that if not that you want me to realise that I mean nothing to you! You never treated me as a wife!"He shook his head sluggishly, looking thoughtful as if fooling me, thinking I was mistaken in what he had done to me. "I never entered like that. I've always treated you as my jerk. Anything I would do and give for you!"I laughed in response to his words, wh
Alex's POV"Damn, she's such a bitch!" I got out of the car while slamming my car door hard.When I left earlier, I felt fine. My temper wasn't this bad. But now it felt like I was going to explode. My blood was boiling, and I was ready to smash anything before me. But try as I might to control myself. I can't act rashly, or I'll ruin everything even more.This time, I can't give Sarah a wrong impression. I can't make her doubt that I don't love her. Even though I'm sick of all the lies and deceit I've told her, I must still show her my good side to make her believe and think I love her."Where's Sarah?" Mom's voice appeared as soon as I walked into the house, and found her in the living room staring at me. "You didn't bring her with you?"I stared at the woman in disgust. Was it hard for her to read my situation? Couldn't she see that I wasn't okay, and it was apparent why? I complained that my breath was coming out of my chest heavily. "Who did you see me coming with?" I snapped bac
Alex's POV"What happened to her? Why does her voice sound weak?" My heart pounded at the thought of what might have happened to her, anxious at the thought of what might be happening to her, just like that time.My blood instantly seemed to cool down, but thinking about it still impacts me now. "Wait for me there. I'll be right there." I forgot what I was going to do. I quickly turned towards the door and ran down the stairs towards the exit on the main floor."Where are you going, Alex?!" I heard Mom's voice yelling quite loudly at the spot where I had left her earlier.I glanced back at her. "I have something urgent to do, so I must go," I replied casually."Keep making excuses. I'm sure Emily contacted you, so you rushed off." She replied in a sarcastic tone. But I ignored her and kept walking away from the living room I had to pass through to get out. "You better make sure you do what I say, or you'll regret it." I can still clearly hear Mom's words even though I'm now at the doo
Alex's POVI aimed my gaze at the position Emily was pointing at and found Sarah with Ethan at that spot. "What is she doing?!" I muttered under my breath, looking at the two.My emotions that had initially subsided because Emily was with me now suddenly returned after seeing them together when I had also seen them together at the cafe earlier this afternoon. My hands clenched into tight fists. My gaze continued to follow the two who seemed to enjoy their time together like a couple.A couple?Have they gone mad? Sarah has a reason why she probably doesn't want to be with me anymore. I mistreated her. But I have to keep her because she's the key to me succeeding in getting the inheritance that my grandfather made.But what's wrong with Ethan? Why would he be interested in a woman like Sarah? At first, I thought it might be because Ethan didn't like Mom and me, but now he wants to make trouble with us by taking the inheritance as his own, but for him, it doesn't have to be Sarah. And n
Sarah’s POVI was inside my room, busying myself with the work I brought home because I didn't have time to finish it. I didn't want to work overtime and come home too late, considering I was staying at Ethan's house. At least I didn't want to worry him or make him wait for me at my workplace."I remember there were some changes they wanted for this part." I looked for the notes I made when I met with the representatives of the foreign party for the agenda they agreed on yesterday.I was still trying my best for them, even though we had reached a mutual agreement and they had agreed to cooperate, but anything could change until the file was signed. I am preparing the rest of the files to send to the foreigners and have them sign them later."Yes?" I stopped the movement of my fingers, which had been busy typing on the laptop, and then turned toward the door, where I heard a knock appear."It's me, Ethan." I knew it was him because his knock was different from that of the butler, who u
Sarah’s POV"Who are you?" I looked up at the strange men who had taken off my blindfold after tying me to a wooden chair. "What are you doing to me?" I looked down at myself, bound tightly by the rope.I shook my body violently to get out of there but to no avail. My efforts were in vain and only ended in laughter for them, which made me stop moving, raising my gaze to them, staring frantically at the terrifying strangers in front of me.One of them looked at me with a scornful smile. He tilted his head to look at me, saying, "Don't try too hard; it won't do any good. You'd better be quiet until we tell you to scream." He warned me with his face that had a stitched scar on his eye.My heart was beating wildly. What was happening? I stared at them, then moved my eyes, sweeping around, exploring what the place was. That place is precisely like an abandoned warehouse, but why did they bring me to this place? With my hands tied and like I was being held hostage?Taken hostage? I looked s
Sarah’s POVMy whole body felt like it was throbbing with pain, the skin on my body was throbbing so much that even the slightest movement was excruciating. Am I still alive? Am I still not dead?"Uh...." I let out a small moan, my whole body throbbing with pain. Even small movements made me feel tortured because of the pain. Not finished with the pain I was feeling, I heard a voice that made me open my eyes and look."Are you awake?" I moved my head with difficulty to the side, I looked at him sharply, with a sense of indignation in my chest. I knew who that man was, but why was he here?Ethan seemed to be sitting casually in front of her, staring at me with his predatory eyes. I was uncomfortable with the way he was looking at me, his gaze seemed to be watching my every move.I didn't like this, seeing it made me realize that I wasn't dead yet. I was still alive remembering this pain and seeing Ethan here."What are you doing in this place?" Why was he in front of me? I looked down
Sarah’s POV"You can't do it." Alex was being stubborn, he went against what I wanted when even he didn't know how to treat me.I stared at the man in astonishment, seeing him standing in front of me didn't make me forget in the slightest what my pain was like when facing him. His abandonment of me yesterday was the most painful thing I've ever received in my entire life."Of course he can do it." Ethan answered the question I was supposed to answer and it made me look up at him."I'll do it." Ethan's words made my confidence grow.He thinks I'll believe his bullshit? Am I that easy for him? Why is Alex treating me this badly? I can't accept it, I don't want to make peace with this situation like he wants, I don't want to apologize to him and obey what he wants, It's enough for me to ignore my pain.I then looked at him with my eyes trembling before him. "Go Alex, even if you refuse I won't change my mind. I will still file for divorce." My eyes that once looked at him warmly, now loo
