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
Chapter 19The next day, I woke up alone, there was no Luke beside me and his side was already neat, I sat on the bed and saw the balcony door open, I could feel the fresh air touching my cheeks, cold.I intended to close the door but my steps stopped when I heard Luke's voice talking to someone on the phone. I didn't see him there because the curtain covered him."I'll see you tonight, I'm busy right now, I'll call you later," Luke said and his voice sounded soft, I was sure it was Brie.Luke hung up his phone and was surprised to see me there, he just stared at me without a word at that time and I didn't ask anything, I just went in to wash my face.I didn't close the bathroom door, so I could see Luke come into the room and sit on the bed facing me who was standing in the bathroom."Looks like you're going to be very busy tonight,""No, it's just Brie who forced me to come," Luke said.“You can go now if you want, I’ll tell Clara and cancel lunch with her,”“No, it’s okay,” Luke sa
Chapter 20I don't know if Luke is mad at me or not, but after he left that morning, we never met again and today he should have returned to England, he only answered my question last night coldly.Should I call him? He must be at the airport.But what if he ignores my call?I don't need to do this, we agreed not to put feelings in this matter.Sarah, what's wrong with you? Why do I need to feel uncomfortable being treated like this by him?"Sarah, are you in there?" I heard Rosie's voice calling me before she opened my bedroom door, she had never been like that before."What's wrong?""Nothing, I just wanted to know about your plan and Luke?" Rosie said before sitting on my bed."Up until now, everything has been going well, why?""I shouldn't have looked into the Smith family but I was curious enough and I found this," Rosie showed me a picture, it was a file that she scanned but I didn't understand what the file was.“What is that?”“This is the list of the Smith family’s inheritan
