SARAH

I couldn't believe Caleb went this far to punish Amelia for saying those words to me.

I noticed the remorse on Amelia's face when she received a call confirming the order Caleb had passed concerning making her family go bankrupt.

He fought on my behalf, he defended me. He couldn't bare to see anyone insult and humiliate me.

I felt cherished and protected. I watched Amelia Klein climb up the stage, pick the microphone and apologized.

“I am sorry, Sarah. All I said earlier were lies and just to pull attention to myself. Please don't ruin my family. I promise to filter my words and think deeply before spilling gibberish.” Amelia fell on her knees, with tears gushing out of her eyes.

The guests present couldn't help but marvel at this. The proud and popular Amelia Klein was kneeling in public and seeking forgiveness from Sarah.

I remained indifferent, Amelia was seeking forgiveness because she doesn't want her family to be ruined.

  • FATED CHASE   Chapter 23

    SARAHI returned to the event venue with confused emotion.A part of my mind was worried about Josh while the other part was worried about Caleb. There was no room for me to even be worried about myself.I never invited Caleb for my event but on the other hand, I wished I could get hold of the person who went live at the venue and showed the whole world all that happened.I found it difficult to process Caleb’s last words before he left. “The divorce papers you signed weren't signed by me because I was away, so it wasn't filed. Meaning it was just a mere write up in black and white. Anyone who thinks you are my ex must be joking!”I assumed he just said it out of jealousy because of the way I was worried about Josh’s feelings. I didn’t believe his words.Soon the event ended. I sent Josh messages and called him severally but he didn’t respond to any. I felt bad that Josh who had been helping all these years is mad at me for a reason that I saw as nothing.I can’t let Caleb’s interfere

    CALEB I left Sarah's place angry yesterday. However, I am at fault for everything. If I had treated her better, Josh wouldn't have held a special place in her heart.I was happy when I received a call from Sarah but soon my expression turned cold after she told me Laura visited her house and Josh's house to threaten them.This explains why I didn't see Laura at home when I woke up.What sort of a childish act is this?! Can't she use that time and energy to build her career instead of going about threatening people because of a man.“Hi darling,” Laura uttered the moment she walked into the house. She looked so innocent but I wasn't going to fall for that.“Where are you coming from?” I asked coldly.“I went out to attend to something urgent.” She replied with a serious look.“Urgent indeed!” I yelled as I stamped my foot on the floor.“Is anything the problem?” She asked with fear evident in her tone.“Why did you visit Sarah and Josh? What prompted you to do that?” I asked, ensuring

  • FATED CHASE   Chapter 1

    SARAH My marital journey has been a shadow of what I had envisioned. With hopes that my marriage could be better, I decided to give my husband a special treat. It was his birthday, I organized a surprise party for him and also planned to break the news of my pregnancy to him. The spark of our love died with each passing day after our wedding ceremony. However, I want to rekindle the spark today, been a special day for him. “It is late. Why is he not back?” Debby asked, making me look at my wristwatch. “I have no idea.” I sighed, gesturing for her to sit beside me in the dining room. “Let me give him a call.” She said, without wasting much time, she picked up her phone. “Debby, don’t call him. The beauty of the surprise party would be ruined.” Debby was my husband's younger sister – in fact only sibling and she scolds him whenever he is wrong. Sometimes, I felt she was disrespecting him but then, he accepted his wrong. I guess it was out of the love they had for each other as a

    SARAH “Hi Sarah, it's quite early but I have a message for you, and it's from your husband,” Uriel uttered politely. “Let’s dive into business.” Uriel was Caleb’s lawyer. He hardly came to the house; all their meeting was usually held in the office. I am curious to know why he came to see me. “A-Alright, please have a seat,” I said calmly and sat on the couch beside him. Debby turned to excuse us but was stopped by Uriel. “You should be here too.” “Really?” Debby muttered. After a few seconds of hesitation, she sat beside me. Uriel pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase. Anxious, I stared at him He handed me a paper. “Read through, it is your copy.” He said, with his eyes darting between Debby and I. I read through the documents, tears welling in my eyes. “Is this real?” I managed to ask, my lips trembling as I tried to hide my pain “Yes, it is from your husband, Caleb. He wants a divorce and you have to sign it immediately.” Uriel said unapologetically. I coul

    It's been two months since my marital crisis but with each day, I did what I like best – crafting out unique designs. I was scrolling through my latest fabric designs on my laptop when my phone vibrated, indicating a notification. I reluctantly picked up the phone, and it was an email. I read through and it showed that I have been selected to work with an international agency as their fashion designer. I wondered if I was dreaming. I dialed Aunt Olivia’s number to share the news and she answered almost immediately. “Hi, Aunt Olivia, I got an email from an international agency,” I uttered, with excitement visible in my voice. I added, “I know you are behind it. I can’t thank you enough.” “Sarah, if I don’t do it for you, who will?” Aunt Olivia said happily on the other end. “I recommended you to a client of mine who was organizing a show and that is it. Ensure you send a reply indicating you have accepted the offer.” “I will do that right now.” “That reminds me, I saw Debby a

    Two years later SARAH “Is everything ready? Where is Nelly?” Aunt Olivia asked, wearing her earrings with a smile beaming on her face. I was so happy, I ensured everything was in place with the help of my employees. There was a lot to be grateful for, my career and my dear son, Nelly. “Everything is in place Aunt, and Nelly is fine,” I replied excitedly as I patted my cheeks. Aunt Olivia and I were discussing about ST Atelier event when my phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Josh and I answered quickly. “I’ve sent more invitations to some top-tier fashion brands. They will be present at your event tomorrow. I am sure all of them will be impressed and would want to partner with you. I am proud of you!” Josh's happy voice came from the other end of the call. “Oh mine, I don’t know how to appreciate you. You’ve proven to be a true friend all these years. Words are not enough to express my appreciation.” I uttered with all humility. “You’ve proven to be exceptional in your fie

    CALEB “Since we returned to California, your attitude towards me changed. Yesterday, I didn’t even understand why you looked moody when you returned from the meeting. You refused to have your meal.” Laura stood akimbo throwing words at me. “Do you even think it is easy to cook?” “It is just some personal stuff, you don’t have to be worried,” I replied indifferently. “Can we have some fun together when you return from work?” She asked seductively and I wondered if everything revolves around sex. “Sorry, that won’t be possible. I have a lot to attend to. When I return home, I know I will be exhausted.” I said with a tightened face. “But you always create time for me. Caleb, what has changed? Please talk to me.” She asked with a pitiful tone, trying to make me feel bad. She continued, “Caleb, don’t treat me this way. Don’t you care about my feelings? We are together yet I miss you like we are living in different worlds.” She paused and added, “Hope it is not what I am thinking?” “

    CALEBI decided to go with Silas to freshen up at his house and purchase a new outfit that I will use tonight.All this while, my phone rang. It was a call from Laura. I wasn’t in the mood to talk, I needed time to fix my mind. I assured myself that I was going to talk with Sarah but I couldn’t tell how easy or how soon it would be.After some minutes of being reluctant, I answered Laura’s call because Silas asked me to. “Why did you ignore my call? Why aren’t you home yet? Do you need a lecture on how to be a caring and loving husband? You are becoming unbearable.” Her fury rang out from the other end.I sighed and raced my hand through my hair. If only this lady knew the mess my heart is battling with, then the least she would do is to give me peace.“I don’t have time for this. If you can’t bear with it, please you can leave.” I replied confidently.“What? Caleb, what has come over you? We need to sort this out in person. When will you return home, I am waiting.” With the shock ev

    SARAHHis eyes beamed with great delight. His gaze made me slightly uncomfortable as I smiled and looked at him. We haven’t been in touch for some days and I don’t remember telling him about my NGO.Could it be he has been tracking all my moves?Echoes of whispers filled the air. Quite a number of those present knew that I was once married to Caleb Haley. I am more surprised to see him than they are.All of a sudden, Amelia Klein, one of my classmate at college stood up, drawing the attention of everyone. Amelia was one of the big girls in school back then, all thanks to the wealth of her parent. She bullied and humiliated me always. I never knew she was around, maybe her aim was to see how awful the meeting will end. Thank God she was disappointed.She approached Caleb and smelled the flower he was holding. That act made Caleb tighten his face as he glanced at her with disgust.“Look who we have in our midst, the CEO of Haley corporation. He must be here because of his girlfriend, La

The event planner and interior designers did a fantastic job.I ensured small chops, juices and sweets will be available during the meeting.Everything was now in place and Aunt Olivia raised the point that the organisation should have a name.I've tried coming up with a beautiful name but I couldn't. After some minutes of silence, Aunt Olivia mentioned, forever young.The name of my NGO is, ‘Forever young.’“This is perfect. With this name, the women who will be members of this organization will know that they have their youthful strength always to achieve their dreams without age or their bitter experience being a barrier.” I said with a bright smile.Aunt Olivia has given me the support that I nee

He couldn't open up that Caleb was on the mission to win his ex-wife back.I was aware that Caleb and Sarah worked on Mr. Michael's project but decided to remain calm.Caleb's finance was also important to me.To destroy Sarah's effort, I employed the service of some goons to destroy all the fabrics she was supposed to deliver.I was delighted when they informed me that they carried out the tasks successfully leaving no traces.I threatened her via various means but she remained undaunted. She was more strong hearted than before.She can't have my man, she lost him to me already and can't have him back. I will do all it takes. I must do all it takes.To avoid Caleb from suspecting which would further abort my plans, I had to remain calm.

    SILASI enjoyed every part of Mr. Michael’s event. However, I had lost track of where Caleb was. I knew we would meet again when the event was over.I exchanged pleasantries with some familiar faces and the event soon ended. I returned to the car to wait for Caleb but I couldn't have a glimpse of him.I wondered what he was up to. I recalled earlier that he quietly followed Sarah into the hall. I assumed he was trying to win his ex-wife back.I called Caleb's number, it rang but he didn't pick. Thank goodness I have the car keys, otherwise I would have waited till Caleb picked the call.As I was about to open the door of the car, I heard a familiar voice.“Hey, Silas. Where is Caleb? I have searched all over but I can't find him.”I turned to the direction the voice came and lo, I saw Laura. She approached me looking tired and sweating profusely. She was beautiful but not as Sarah, she wasn't my spec.“Shit,” I cursed before she got to me. This woman is just full of surprises. I scoff

    SARAH Caleb saved me from an occurrence that would have landed me in the hospital. I was so grateful to him. Thank goodness, Mr. Micheal’s project was a huge success. Caleb asked me to spend some time with him at my favourite spot and feeling indebted to him for saving me, I had to say yes. It's been long I had ice-cream so visiting my favorite spot wasn't a bad idea. While we were in my car, I couldn't explain how it happened but Caleb’s lips were locked in mine. I wanted something more tensed but I managed to control myself. “Tell me what's on your mind.” He said seductively as he moved his lips away. How on earth will I tell him that my thighs were throbbing to have him in between them? I quickly said, “ Nothing is on my mind.” “Let's proceed.” He said happily and zoomed off. I couldn't explain it but the calmness and joy radiating in his face made me happy. I kept thinking about the kiss we just shared, it made me feel complete. The horn of the car ahead of us

    CALEBHearing the sound of water being splashed, I slowly opened my eyes.“Get up, you need to go home and get dressed for the event.” Silas uttered as he approached me looking good in his brown suit.The event organised by Mr. Micheal will commence in two hours. I had to be there.Soon, with Silas taking the driver seat, we arrived at my home. I was about to ring the door bell when the door flung wide open.“Caleb, where did you pass the night? And you ignored my calls.” Laura opened the door. She must have seen us through the window.“Hi, Laura.” Silas managed to say after clearing his throat.Coldly she replied, “Hi, Silas.”She watched me walked in with Silas following beside me. That act only angered her the more.“I need an explanation for crying out loud.” She said with a shaky voice.Eventually I turned and looked at her, “I was engrossed with work. We'll talk more when I come back later.”“You just returned and you are leaving again.” She said.I did not utter a word. Silas s
