Sarah was shocked, and she didn't expect who would have sent her such a text message.
Just then she received a notification. It was a photo sent from that same number. She quickly picked it up and opened it. It was a picture of her and her mother leaving the underground bar.
Her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. “What?” she exclaimed. “Who is this? This person definitely knows my movement.” I muttered silently.
She quickly dialled the number, and the number picked up, “Hello, who are you?” she shouted at the top of my voice.
It was Marina that was at the other end of the line. She chuckled lightly and laughed silently on the other end of the phone.
She knew she had touched Sarah’s weak point. Immediately she hung up.
Marina paced around the room thinking about how to get to Sarah and make her do whatever she needed.
She needs the money to pay for her mother’s surgery. She knew that this would be a life-changing opportunity for her and her family.
She would have loved to help Elena out, but after giving it so much thought, she knew that it would only put her life in danger.
Immediately, Marina picked up the phone and gave Sarah a call. Sarah picked up after the first ring.
“Tell me what you want. Name your price,” Sarah spoke in a serious tone.
“If you want to shut me up, pay $50,000 in cash,” Marian spoke in a lower tone.
Sarah scoffed, “That is much; why are you doing this? What do you know?” she spoke.
“$50,000 and I will discard your secret,” she spoke.
“How do I know you have my secret?” Sarah asked.
Marian didn't say a word. She knew that if she sent the voice recording, Sarah would trace it and know it was in the house.
“I know you set Elena up. I have all the evidence. What more evidence do you need?” she spoke.
“Where do I give you the money?” she asked, narrowing her eyes in anger.
“I will text you the location. Make sure you don't try anything funny, or else you will be a mess,” Marina threatened.
Sarah knew that she wouldn't try anything so things wouldn't get out of hand. She has to be careful so that her plans will not be spoilt. She knew that if her plans went well, she would become a billionaire as the new Mrs. Coleman.
“Fine,” she spoke, and Marian hung up. She stayed in her house in a quiet room. It was her day off, and she had to settle everything right now.
Sarah paced around the room, and she didn't know what to do. She knew she had to get the money ready, and she would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.
Immediately, she reached for her car keys and zoomed off. She arrived at the bank and walked straight in with a black bag in her hand.
“I would like to make a withdrawal of $50000, she said.”
Marina followed her silently, and she saw Sarah walking out of the bank into her car. Immediately, she walked to the back of the building and called Sarah.
Sarah picked up immediately as she scanned the whole environment.
“Are you sure the money is complete?” she asked.
Sarah was caught off guard and she looked around. She tried to check because she knew she had been followed.
“Yes, it is,” she spoke.
“Don't bother scanning the environment. You won't find me.” I will call you in the next 30 minutes.” Marina spoke and hung up.
Marina quickly took a cab and covered a scarf. She walked into an isolated place in the woods, and when it was exactly 30 minutes from when she called, Marina called Sarah.
“I just sent you the location and the instructions; do not play dirty games,” she spoke and hung up immediately.
Sarah's phone buzzed with a notification, and she opened the message.
“At the central woods in the uncompleted building. Drop the bag in the bin and walk away,” it read.
Sarah drove off to the woods, and she arrived at the woods. She looked around to see that everywhere was empty. She hurriedly dropped the bag in the bin and zoomed off.
Immediately, she got a notification. “Done,” it read.
She zoomed off to the house with an angry face. She didn't know how to express her anger. It would have been easier for her to get rid of the strange person so that her mind would be at peace.
She got into her room and paced around. She wondered if she had to tell her mother or not so that they would know what to do.
She thought of what to do, and everything was draining. Maybe she shouldn't tell her mother about it since she had silenced the caller.
Elena woke up the next day feeling tired and weak. She had not been able to eat anything for two days. It had been hell for her.It was only Alex who came to see her on the cell. She felt rejected and alone. It had been the hell for her, and she didn't even know what to do. Alex had brought up all of the cases against her, and he clearly stated all of the things she had been charged with.Sarah dressed up in the early hours of the morning. Marina walked into her room and said with a serious face, “Good morning, ma'am. I am here to clean your room.". Sarah stirred on the bed. She had nightmares. She couldn't sleep properly because of the person whom she had just paid to keep his mouth shut. She didn't want anything to ruin her plans, and she was ready to go out of her way to cover her tracks. She was already stressed, and her morning sickness wasn't helping out.Marina walked into the bathroom. “Ma'am, are you okay?” she asked.Sarah rinsed her mouth and stood up. She nodded her hea
Elena was so weak as she looked at the ring on her sister’s finger. She knew that Nicklaus had already asked Sarah to be his wife, and that was the end of her marriage with Nicklaus. She couldn't believe how Nicklaus would move on so quickly to the extent of making Sarah his wife. “Sa…” She stuttered, glancing at the ring as Sarah smiled widely as she wiggled her hands. “Sarah, what is the meaning of this?” She asked with tears filling her eyes. “Yes, Nicklaus asked me to be his wife. Isn't it beautiful?” She asked excitedly. Her voice dripped with sarcasm, and she looked at Elena in a hateful way. “You should be happy I am covering your dirty past and making the family proud after you tried to ruin everything,” Sarah spoke. Her voice was full of hatred, and she mocked Elena. Tears rolled down Elena’s cheeks, and she couldn't control herself. “How could you do this to me?” she asked, her eyes narrowed, and she figured something out. “Sarah, did you set me up? She asked with her h
Nicklaus’s POV:I woke up from my slumber the next morning, and I felt very weak. This was the first time I would wake up after a good rest and still feel tired. My head was aching and my eyes were still heavy. I can't believe that I engaged Sarah and that she would be my wife in a few weeks while Elena was still in custody. Everything is still happening so fast, like a dream. I wished it was a dream so that I could wake up.The house and the room felt empty. I remember when Elena and I got married. It was one of the happiest moments for me because she had been my source of light.She changed me in so many ways. She gave me light and helped me come out and see the beauty of life. I had no reason to live. I was just ambitious and chased after becoming rich, forgetting life also makes the world a better place. I have always dreamed of pursuing my goals and becoming the most successful man in the world. My father only needed me to produce an heir so that he could pass down his legacy.
Sarah’s POV:My facial expression hardened, and I screamed in my head. I felt like exploding deep down inside of me.I walked out of Nicklaus’s office feeling angry and upset. I couldn't believe that I dressed all hot and tried to seduce him, but he declined. It is such a shame.He had engaged me, and I only wanted to make him feel better by getting closer to him and making him forget all of his sorrows. How did he reject me? Is it that he could not stand to be with another woman aside from Elena? I have been dying from his touch and hoping that our bond will get stronger since we are engaged, but it just kept getting worse.He seemed distant and away from me. I wanted to wrap him around me, but he was slowly slipping away.I smiled when I placed my hands on my stomach and walked out of the office. I planned how to make him close to me by moving to his house and acting sick. I planned everything in my head, and I knew that with that, our bond would get stronger. All of his workers s
I turned around, and my mother noticed my facial expression. She signalled me to come over to her study so that we could talk about it. I hurried and followed her from behind. I gently closed the door behind me, making sure that nobody was in the hallway. I hurriedly walked to my mother and fixed my eyes on her. She looked at me curiously and gave me a questioning look. “Speak, Sarah. What is it?” she whispered.I exhaled deeply and closed my eyes, gathering the courage to speak. “Someone knows about our secret.” I spoke in a low tone.My mother’s eyes widened, and she looked at me in shock. “What?” she asked, whispering. “How did the person know about it? Do you have any idea?”“I... I don't know Mother,”The person called and sent me a picture of the both of us leaving the underground room after our meeting with Mr. Kai. I became scared and panicked. I paid the bastard off, mother, and I shut him up. Just now I got a text from the bastard saying that he knows my pregnancy isn't f
Sarah woke up very early in the morning because she had been disturbed all night. Her blackmailer kept tormenting her.She ordered the marina to prepare her bath, and she had a hot bath. After a while, she was done and dressed in black sweatpants and a black hoodie. She packed her hair in a messy bun.Marina looked at Sarah’s reflection in the mirror, and she let out a sly smile. She knew that she had been tormenting her, and she overheard all of her recoding of tracking her.She had successfully gotten an apartment in the other part of California and had paid for her mother's treatment. The remaining money will be used to find her lifestyle and disappear from their lives. Sarah stormed out of the house and went into her car. Marina hurriedly took her earpiece and listened to the recordings from Sarah's car as she cleaned Sarah’s room.Sarah uttered the cuss word and turned on her engine. She zoomed off into the street of Los Angeles. She had to meet with her mysterious friend Zane t
Elena’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning when I heard noises coming from the cell. I had not been able to sleep all night long because I had constant nightmares and I was panting.I managed to get a little sleep, which was later disrupted. My eyes opened, and our cell was opened. “All of you, undress and go to the bathroom right now,” the female warden spoke; her voice was loud and stern.I stripped off my clothes and covered my body with my hands. I was still very shy and wasn't used to prison life.“That lady is still a newbie. You better get used to it, bitch,” one of the inmates laughed, and the whole inmates started laughing at me.We went into the bathroom, and I quickly washed up. I brushed my teeth and my hair. It's been a week and I have not had my bath. Our time was ticking, and I didn't want to be sluggish. I washed up and made sure that my body was cleaned.It was always busy here, and there was no room for slughishness. The first time I was sluggish, I was alrea
Nicklaus’s POV:I woke up very early in the morning. I had not been able to sleep. I remember when Elena and I were still married. How we would go to bed and cuddle each other.I remembered how I would wake up to her soft breath and her beautiful and pale skin.I exhaled deeply and placed my hands on my face. It's been so hard to get over her, and I wondered what she was doing. I thought about how she was coping.I had not been able to get my mind off her, and I wanted to feel her touch so bad. I regretted why I made love to her sister Sarah that night. I wished I had controlled myself instead of letting her seduce me.I get angry that she was the one who was carrying my child, and I am being forced to marry again against my wish. If Elena had been pregnant, maybe I would have convinced my father not to hand her over to the police. Maybe I would still be with her and love her, but she had betrayed me in ways that I couldn't imagine. Tomorrow will be her court hearing, and that's when
