Chapter 11It was normal that he started to forget my voice, I wasn't surprised at all when he asked who I was. It just seemed to convince me that from the start that bastard didn't love me. Poor me…All his words were just bullshit, I was just a goat that he was ready to slaughter at any time."Yes, I'm your baby, your girl, your Sarah,""So are you free now?" Arthur said, sounding very cold but I'm sure there was fear in his voice."Yeah, it doesn't feel like 10 years have passed quickly, there are so many things that I missed but it feels like it's not just me, but you too, shouldn't you visit me in prison? You didn't even pick me up when I got out of that hell,""Listen to me Sarah, whatever happened between us ended right after you went in there, so don't ever pull me back into your life because I've found my life which is much better," Arthur said."What do you mean we're over? Of course, I am still your legal wife, I never signed anything,”“That doesn’t matter, I did it for y
Chapter 12Luke is still the same as I used to know him, even though I'm not that close to him, but his cold attitude hasn't changed at all. I'm not sure I can get close to him even as a friend, because he doesn't seem like someone easy to approach.I checked his Instagram profile, and there wasn't a single photo of a woman there, only photos of himself and some other random pictures, and all of them were black and white. There seemed to be no color in his life and I could see that he hadn't posted a new picture for a long time, his last post was 2 years ago and it was just a picture of two birds in the rain.We followed each other after chatting for quite a while, he turned out to be quite active because he replied to my message quickly, even though the message felt very cold but at least he was willing to respond to me.And of all the things we talked about, there was one thing that surprised me, it was when he asked me to meet, I don't know why he asked me to meet him, is it possib
Chapter 13That morning, for some reason my body felt very sore, I opened my eyes slowly when I realized the sun had entered my room, it seemed I had forgotten to close my curtains last night, when my eyes opened perfectly, I immediately sat up in my bed, yawning while stretching my body and seeing how messy my room was.Oh Sarah, why did you throw your dress on the floor…I said at that time while brushing my messy hair, then my eyes widened when I remembered something.Damn it!I immediately checked under the blanket and yes it was true, it wasn't me who threw the dress on the floor, but someone did it for me and stupid me why did I wake up without realizing anything?Rushing out of the room because Luke wasn't there, and only Rosie was busy with her breakfast at the dining table, she only glanced at me before looking back at her phone screen, it seemed she was watching something there."Where's Luke? Ah I mean, the man who was with me last night?"“Just left, he said he’ll call you
Chapter 14 For 3 days Luke was here, he always spent his time with me, we talked about many things including Brie, his ex-wife. Hearing his story about that woman made me quite annoyed because Brie did look like a bitch when I first saw her. We were enjoying a comedy movie at my place, Rosie was in her room, she didn't want to join us and chose to sleep, that girl was boring. Luke and I laughed together and I almost forgot what my plan was to bring him into my life, seeing him seemed to distract me enough. "Luke," He turned to me and stopped laughing, his face was red from not stopping laughing since earlier. "What's wrong?" Luke said. "Don't you want to know what I want from you?" "What is it?" Luke said. "You said you won't be here long and will be back in England soon, so I think maybe you're not the right person to help me—" "Tell me," Luke said. "It's about Arthur," "You want to make him jealous?" Luke said. “More than that,” “Why? Because he cheated on you behind yo
Chapter 15After talking to Luke about Bobby's birthday, he finally decided to postpone his return to England, if he did it just for revenge I think it was quite excessive.That afternoon Luke was busy meeting his friends, Rosie also went to work and I didn't know what to do, I wanted to go somewhere but didn't want to be alone.Then I remembered Clara, maybe this was the right time to ask her to hang out and talk about many things, it seemed like she was also quite open.I searched for her contact on my phone and immediately contacted her, I knew she was a busy woman but it seemed like she wouldn't refuse my offer to meet."Hello?" The woman's voice sounded soft in my ears."Hi Clara, it's me, Sarah,""Oh hi Sarah, how are you?" Clara said."I'm fine, how about you and Bobby?""We're all fine, Bobby is just a little cranky because of the fever, but he's much better," Clara said.“Oh thank goodness, I was just about to ask you to hang out but it seems like you’re busy taking care of B
Chapter 16Luke came to pick me up at Arthur's house, Clara waved her hand as our car drove away, it seemed like she would be very surprised if she knew that I was part of their family.I was still focused on looking out the window when Luke put his hand on mine, surprising me but I just turned to him."What's wrong? Why are you there?" Luke said."Clara asked me to come,"I tried to avoid his grip and looked back out the window, still clearly remembering when Arthur stood in front of me, he was no longer the man I loved, I saw from his eyes that there was only hatred there, maybe the same as what he saw in my eyes."Do you think Arthur knows what we're planning?""Why? Did he tell you something?" Luke said."No, he probably just guessed because we appeared suddenly out of nowhere, do you think this plan will work?" I turned to him and Luke stepped on the brakes when the light turned red."What plan do you mean?" Luke said.“Yeah you’re right, we haven’t talked about this,”“Sarah,” L
Chapter 17 Today I was busy looking for a gift for Bobby, I was alone, Luke wanted to accompany me but I gave another reason because I didn't want to be accompanied by anyone this time, he didn't need to focus too much on me, he could enjoy his time here with his friends. I went to a toy store in the mall, I didn't know what to give Bobby, since I knew his parents could buy him everything. Then I saw a dinosaur doll, it was green, and I thought it was adorable. After buying it and going out of the store, someone bumped into me and made Bobby's gift fall from my hand, a man grabbed it and gave it to me, but when I looked at the man's face, it was Arthur. What is this? What kind of coincidence is this? "Sarah?" Arthur said, he was quite surprised to see me there, maybe he didn't expect to see me often after I got out of prison. "Oh hi, my husband," "What are you talking about? I told you, I'm not your husband anymore," Arthur said. "Really? Why? I don't feel like we're divorced
Chapter 18 Luke and I arrived at a private villa near the beach, that afternoon the weather was very warm, I only wore a short dress with small flower motifs and tie my hair with a little hair hanging beside my face. Since that day, Luke seemed cold to me, he still replied to my messages, answered my calls, and came to the penthouse but I could feel the change and I didn't like it. When he got out of the car, he immediately grabbed my hand and intertwined it, I just looked at our hands with my other hand carrying a gift for Bobby. "Sarah," Luke said when his feet suddenly stopped and I immediately turned to him. "Do you trust me?" Luke said. "Trust you?" "Yes, do you trust me?" Luke said with his eyes that seemed to enter me. "Yes, but why all of a sudden?" "We need to make him believe," Luke said. “Yes, but—“ “Just trust me,” Luke said and as he led me inside I held him back and made him look at me again. “What?” Luke said. “I know the reason why now,” “What do you mean
