CALEBโShe has moved on.โ With a low voice, I said to Silas when we got into the car.โGive her time, it is a lot for her to chew at the moment.โ He replied. Tapping my shoulder, he added, โIf she has found true happiness in another man then you have to let her go.โHe continued. โI will take you home because I donโt want you to hit the car against the trunk of a tree.โ The concern in his voice didnโt go unnoticed.I wasnโt in my right senses to do anything at the moment. Silas understands me a lot.โDoes that kid look like me?โ I asked with a furrowed brow.โWhich kid?โ He fixed his gaze on the steering, feigning ignorance.โThere is something I want to find out,โ I said grudgingly.โHow is the kid supposed to look like you, are you his father?โ He said sarcastically.โOkay, do you think the man who came to meet her while she was with us is better than me?โ I asked.โThe right person to answer that is Sarah,โ Silas muttered.โHmm,โ I expressed, not satisfied with his response.Soon,

CALEBI canโt tell how many hours I stayed in the bathtub but when I opened my eyes, the day was so bright and the ray of the sun found its way into my room.I managed to remove my wet clothes and have a proper bath. It was Saturday, so I planned to remain indoors all through.Next, I wore a casual outfit and picked up my phone. I made my way to my study room whose door was linked to my room.Scrolling through my phone, I saw that I had missed five calls from Silas.I smiled and called him back.โWhere the hell have you been?โ He asked the moment he picked up the call.โSleeping,โ I uttered.โWow, you must have been dreaming about Sarah which is why you woke up this late.โ Silas teased.โCome off it, I need to rest. It is weekend by the way.โ I said as I switched on my laptop.โYeah, its weekend but your secretary had sent several reminders of the scheduled meeting with our new partner and you didnโt reply.โ He paused. โIt starts in twenty minutes.โAfter the call, I checked my email

SARAH I had a lot to do.After ST Atelier fashion event, I got lots of recommendations and business partners.It was difficult for me to ignore that I saw Caleb at my event and he interacted with my son. I expected him to bring up how our relationship crashed but he didnโt. Could it be he was pompous or he didnโt feel the need too.I called Josh and appreciated him for all he has done for me. He recommended me to Mr. Michael and I will be working with a team on a huge project. Michael attended ST Atelier event and was impressed by all the designs and latest collections. It was a massive deal.With that I mean a project with my pay running into six digits. I sat beside Aunt Olivia as we watched the television. With the way she glanced at me at intervals, I knew she had a lot to say. I remained quiet as I waited for her to speak.โWhat if Nelly starts asking about his father?โ She asked calmly.โHe won't,โ I mumbled.โAre you sure?โ She asked with a concerned look. โDidnโt you see the

CALEBI always deliver excellently in every areas of my business but I wasnโt sure of how Mr. Michaelโs deal will turn out now that I am working with Sarah.However, I wonโt let her have any effect on me. Mr. Michael sent me Sarahโs contact after the virtual meeting that we should discuss further on other arrangements. To my surprise, the number was the one I had on my phone years ago.Since the divorce saga, I have never called her but I didnโt delete the number. She maintained same mobile contact all these years! After hours of hesitation, I got my emotions together and dialed her number.โHello, Sarah.โ I said with no emotion evident in my voice.โHi, who am I on to?โ She sounded clueless from the other end.โIt is Caleb Haley.โ I replied with a deep tone.It meant she had deleted my contact ago. Another point to back up her words of not wanting to have anything to do with me again.Why was I so pained that she deleted my contact? She had move on but I will let this slide and fa

SARAH โAre you expecting a visitor?โ I asked Aunt Olivia when the doorbell rang at seven in the evening.โNot at all. Answer the door and letโs know who is there.โ She said and I stood up.I was so tired but I made my way to the door. Earlier, Nelly was so clingy and it took a lot of time before I got him to sleep.โGood, you were the one who answered the door.โ A cold voice rang out which left me in shock. Upon opening the door, I saw Laura, my former best friend.I could hear Aunt Olivia asking who was at the door but I was short of words. After a few seconds, Aunt Olivia was also at the door.โStupid girl, after all youโve done. How dare you come to our house?โ Aunt Olivia flared up.Laura was really stupid. After all she did, there was no iota of regret in her expression.โI am not here to make trouble. However, since my boyfriend, Caleb, and I returned to the country, he hasnโt been the same. Thatโs because of you.โ She snorted.โMe? What do you mean?โ I yelled.โDonโt play dumb

CALEBI was tired of staying alone and wallowing in my thoughts. I decided to visit Silas and maybe he will help me to find a solution to all this. Sarah was the missing piece of the puzzle of my life.Encountering her at the virtual meeting and having a conversation over the phone made me feel useless. She was now a force that everyone wants to reckon with. From all she said, she was trying to make it obvious that she is above my reach.โIt's been a while since you visited me this late, what is wrong Caleb? Did something bad happen?โ Silas asked as he ushered me into his house. A lot was wrong but I canโt fix it. The person capable of making everything right is Sarah and that is if she is willing. The Sarah I knew has a soft heart but I donโt think it is the same now.โA bit bored so I decided to come and spend some time with you. You are the only one that understands what I am going through.โ I said soberly.โWhat about Laura?โ He asked when I leaned on the couch.That was the las

CALEBI had a lot on my mind but the person I want to share it with is Sarah. Silas glanced at me at intervals. I appreciated all he told me, it was my cross and I had to bear it. At this point, I have to let go of Laura and win Sarah back but it wonโt be easy as it sounds.โThanks, see you tomorrow.โ Silas said, the moment we arrived at his house.I hissed and got off the car before him. โI am spending the night here.โ I said.โHuh?โI donโt have the strength to drive back home but that wasnโt the main thing. The truth was that I donโt want to stay under same roof with Laura when my mind craves for another woman.I hardly have time for Sarah, there were days she pleaded with me to stay at home during weekend but I never stayed. There were times she would want me to satisfy her sexual urge and I will claim to be busy.Busy with what exactly? I regret all this. I commend her for tolerating me all these years. I hope she gives me a benefit of doubt that I have changed.โI promise to be

SARAHFor the past three days, I have been spending the all nights and day at my office in readiness to deliver all the fabrics required for Mr. Michaelโs project, which was happening soon.All my employees were also rendering their assistance in various levels. From the drafting, to the cutting and sewing, was so hectic. We produced hundred and twenty outfit having different designs.Since we were doing with the job and all that was left was to deliver to Mr. Michael the next day, I decided to take a walk. The environment was serene as only few vehicles could be seen on the road.I picked my phone and called Josh. He answered almost immediately.โHi dear, you didnโt bother to stop by at the company to see the designs I made for Mr. Michaelโs project.โ I said, pretending to be angry.โI am so sorry about that. I didnโt want to disturb you since I was aware you will be engrossed with a lot of things.โ He spoke.โYou are forgiven,โ I laughed.โHold on, why does the exceptional Sarah Ton

CALEBI got into my office and there was a lot to attend to on my desk. While I was battling with taking Sarah off my mind and which document to work on first, two men walked.It was Uriel and Silas. I was surprised to see Uriel, he had travel out for a course.With a bright smile, I said. โHi, Uriel. Good to see you, have your seat.โ I pointed to the seat in the opposite direction.โYeah, man.โ Uriel replied and sat down.Silas looked at me and shook his head.โDon't I deserve to have a seat too? I need to travel out too so you can miss me.โ He tightened his face.โThe last time I checked, you have your seat in my office before I even ask you too. You can stand for all I care.โ I laughed.โReally! 1-0, you are winning. Expect my revenge.โ Silas muttered and sat down.โWhat do you care for, Uriel?โI asked with a smile.โNothing,โ He mumbled.โThat can't be. Allow Caleb spend money, he has enough. We'll all go out to have lunch, bills on Caleb.โ Silas uttered as he ignored my gaze.I s

CALEBโGive me Sarahโs phone number.โ Laura requested humbly and I couldnโt help but widen my eyes.I expected that it would take a while before she made the moves of settling her scores with Sarah but she was working towards it so fast. That must be because she doesnโt want to lose me but she will know better at the end of it all.โAlright,โ I said and called the number out from my phone.With a bright smile, I returned to my room and got dressed for the dayโs activities. I had a business seminar to attend.The ambiance of the venue was captivating and pleasant to the mind. I exchanged greetings with some familiar faces.The seminar started and soon the first phase ended. At that point, the lady who anchored the program announced.โSarah Tonks will be our resource person for the next phase, she would be here anytime soon.โ I was surprised and elated when I heard her name but what was more shocking was that she hadnโt arrived and all those present agreed to patiently wait.I was prou

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.โHi darling,โ Laura uttered the moment she walked into the house. She looked so innocent but I wasn't going to fall for that.โWhere are you coming from?โ I asked coldly.โI went out to attend to something urgent.โ She replied with a serious look.โUrgent indeed!โ I yelled as I stamped my foot on the floor.โIs anything the problem?โ She asked with fear evident in her tone.โWhy did you visit Sarah and Josh? What prompted you to do that?โ I asked, ensuring

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 Calebโs last words before he left. โThe 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!โI assumed he just said it out of jealousy because of the way I was worried about Joshโs feelings. I didnโt believe his words.Soon the event ended. I sent Josh messages and called him severally but he didnโt 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 canโt let Calebโs interfere

SARAHI 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.โI 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.โ 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.โI don't need your apologies. Your words didn't get

We havenโt been in touch for some days and I donโt 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.โLook 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, โForever young.โโThis 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.โ 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. Michaelโs 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.โHey, Silas. Where is Caleb? I have searched all over but I can't find him.โI 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.โShit,โ I cursed before she got to me. This woman is just full of surprises. I scoff
