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
Chapter 1One month before the day…Sarah’s POV“Look at you Sarah, you’re completely different from the first time I saw you here, you’re lucky 10 years isn’t a long time,”That was Billie, one of my friends in this cramped room, she was the first one to beat me up when I passed through these annoying iron bars.I can’t believe it’s been 10 years that I’ve shared air with them, now I only need to wait one month before making that bastard pay for everything he’s taken from me.“Hey red hair, come here,” Mary called me, she was a rich old woman, she was in there for killing her ex-husband when she found him having an affair with her own best friend, she was sentenced to life in prison.“What’s wrong?” I just turned to her from where I was.“Remember what I told you, use all that’s left, and make him regret what he did to you, he’ll have to kneel before you like you always did to him,” Mary said.“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,”Yes, of course, I’ll handle it, I have to make sure that guy
Chapter 2My eyes opened wide when my phone startled me, I realized I was not in my room, I was still on the sofa with the window open but the difference was I couldn't feel the cool wind touching my body but the heat from the sun shining right at me.I looked at my wall clock above the TV, and my eyes widened even more, it was almost 1 pm, how could I sleep that long in this position?"Damn it!"I looked here and there, for my phone, but I couldn't find it, I was frustrated because I never woke up that late, I chose to clean myself first before looking for the damn phone again, luckily Arthur had tidied up the table and thrown away the trash so that made my job a little easier.When I finished taking a shower, I came out of the room and heard my phone ringing, I looked for the source of the sound and I found it waiting for me under the sofa, I immediately took it because Arthur called me, he must be worried because I didn't reply to his message.“Hello baby, I’m sorry, I overslept, I
Chapter 3 Today it was raining quite heavily, I was still standing in front of my workplace because I didn't bring an umbrella, Arthur should have picked me up and we would spend time at my house like usual but this time it was the same as last week, he would come to the apartment after his business was finished, and I was stuck here. I should have called him, no matter what it would have been better if we went home together but this is me who doesn't like to disturb his work because I feel indebted, he has done a lot for me, even fulfilling my needs and who am I? I can't understand his busyness, very selfish. I looked at my watch, it was almost 8 pm, I looked into my workplace and Jodie was still busy there, more and more customers were coming, and if I stayed there I would only be stuck forever, so I decided to run towards the bus stop, even though in the end I would get soaked but I could warm my body at home. "To hell with this rain!" As I ran towards the bus stop, suddenly s
Chapter 4“Wake up baby girl,”I heard the voice faintly, Arthur’s voice right in my ear before finally showering me with many kisses on my face, my eyes slowly opened and his face was in front of me with my favorite smile.“What time is it?”“8 am, you fell asleep on the couch as usual so I brought you to your room,” Arthur said.“Oh really? I waited for you last night but you didn’t call me,” I just grumbled and sat on the bed, leaning my body on the headboard and looking at him with a pout, I was just teasing him but honestly it was also part of my feelings.“I’m sorry baby, it was my fault because I didn’t call you but it was because my phone was dead and I came here immediately after I finished my business, and found you on the couch, my girlfriend is so adorable,” Arthur said while stroking my cheek, making me blush.“But wait, how did you get in here?”“I never forget your birthday,” Arthur said.“Then why do you always knock or ring the doorbell if you know the code?”“Well th
Chapter 5Wedding Day…Finally…Arthur and I got married…I never imagined before that I would be the lucky one to have him forever, I even felt insecure about my financial condition, a poor girl like me certainly didn't deserve to be by the side of a rich man like Arthur.But I was the one who finally stood in front of him, with a beautiful diamond ring on my ring finger, it was me, not another girl. This marriage made me think that I deserved to be with him, after all, I also came from a rich family, it's just that bitch took everything and I became poor.After the party ended, Arthur and I went to a 5-star hotel, a suite room was waiting for us, it was a gift from his mother, when the door opened I could see how luxurious the room was, the smell was different, like the smell of… money."Wow… isn't this too much? There are only us in this room but—""Baby, what do you mean too much? We just need to enjoy it without thinking about anything, now you are completely mine, and I think wh
Chapter 6A week later…“Come here, I won’t bite you,”I saw the innocent girl did not move when she entered my apartment, she just lowered her head and occasionally adjusted her glasses that had slipped from her tiny nose.“What do you see down there? Am I there? Come on Rosie, I won’t eat you alive, at least I have to kill you first before eating you,”That statement made her lift her head and stare at me with her wide eyes, she couldn’t possibly think I was a cannibal, right?“What? Do you believe I would do that to you? I’m still normal you know, and I’m Sarah, I’m sure Jodie has told you about me, and why are you here, right?”Again the girl just nodded before lowering her head, I don’t know what she saw down there, but it was enough to annoy me.“Rosie, you better not make me mad or I will literally eat you alive, come and sit here, make yourself comfortable,”Rosie came over to me and sat in front of me, she looked awkward, her eyes trying to avoid my gaze, she should be lucky
Chapter 7My mornings have been very beautiful lately, maybe because I woke up on a soft bed with sunlight shining directly into the room, it feels like I haven't felt this pleasure for a long time, it's very peaceful to be in this place, I don't have to fight over pillows and blankets like when I was in prison, I also don't have to hear their snoring every night.Although it can't be denied that I miss them quite a bit, 10 years is not a short time, my 5 friends and I are getting closer day by day. Especially with that hella rich woman, the woman who gave me all these facilities, I don't know what made her want to help me take revenge on Arthur, maybe because she felt it too.'knock...knock...'"Breakfast is ready," Rosie said.Breakfast? Who asked her to make breakfast?I rushed out as soon as she said that, I didn't even have time to clean my face and meet her at the dining table. The innocent girl was already sitting in her chair and just turned to look at me.“I hope you like it,
