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
Chapter 21After trying to forget the memories with Arthur, it felt harder than I imagined, even every time I forgot him I only remembered him and the memories appeared more often in my head.How could it not be? The memories he built to make me submit to him were indeed very perfect, but it was so disgusting if I imagine it now.That stupid girl, I wanted to curse her in front of her face, but that was me, me who used to admit how stupid I was.That day Rosie didn't go to work, she was at home and busy cleaning the entire room after making breakfast for me, the girl was quite diligent, or maybe because she was still young? Ah, not really."Have you eaten?""Yes, I had breakfast first because I wanted to clean up," Rosie said.I saw the girl going here and there with a vacuum cleaner in her hand, the TV was also on so I could watch it, but this time Rosie didn't watch the news, she watched all the variety shows, that kid is unpredictable.Just finished washing my dirty dishes, I saw R
Chapter 22Walking into the building, some people there greeted me, bowed their bodies, and welcomed me warmly, I never imagined it would be this easy to get back what I lost before.Mr. Derick walked beside me he is the owner of the company, and I am just someone who is tasked with helping him, let's call me his daughter. He is Mary's best friend, Derick was willing to help me after I told him everything and mentioned Mary's name in front of him, their ages seemed not much different, I could see the worry on Derick's face every time I mentioned Mary's name.The man took me to the 52nd floor where his room was and my room would be later because I would work with him so we would always be seen together. Seeing him was like seeing my father, ah I miss him so much, it's been a long time since I came to his grave.Derick took me into his room, the place was really big and clean, with a large window right behind his desk. The whole city seemed to be visible from there.“Sit down, I don’t n
