Chapter 42 Sitting at a beachside restaurant while waiting for my seafood to arrive, I even looked like I was on vacation here even though I was following Brie who was sitting not far from my table, she couldn't possibly realize my presence because she seemed busy talking to a man in front of her. The man was not Arthur and not her ex fiancé who she brought to Luke's house at that time. They looked very close, even the man didn't hesitate to rub Brie's cheeks repeatedly and hold her hand on the table. This was very strange, what was happening? My food arrived, I only ordered spicy clam soup and grilled fish, not to mention a glass of beer to complete my dinner. My eyes were glued to their table until the ringing of my phone surprised me, why did this girl call me at the wrong time? "Hello?" "Are you with Arthur and Brie?" Rosie said. "No, but yes I was following Brie according to your instructions, but I didn't see Arthur here," "How? he's there with Brie, your three
Chapter 43 No way!!! I'm sure I'm not drunk yet, how could I not even finish all the drink in my glass, I'm sure it was Arthur, I rubbed my eyes to make sure what I just saw, wasn't a short kiss, it was a french kiss. They stopped kissing and walked away from the dance floor, I still couldn't digest everything, but I couldn't lose that bastard. I immediately followed them out of the Club. It felt unbelievable I couldn't believe what I saw, I even slapped my cheeks to make sure I was still conscious. They held hands towards the parking lot and got into a car. Shit! I couldn't follow them, but I had to... I looked for a taxi and immediately chased after them. I couldn't lose track of them, even if I lost track of them, I would wake Rosie up and ask her to tell me where Arthur was. This is insane... how is that possible? For the first time, I couldn't believe my own eyes. My taxi was almost left behind, but luckily the driver was quite skilled and caught up with them easily, they a
Chapter 44 I returned home, I got nothing but a photo of Arthur and Bryan before entering the hotel, that was the only evidence I had but it didn't prove anything let alone his affair. Anyone I showed the photo to would think it was just a normal photo of friends hanging out together. But not for me who had witnessed the scene with my own eyes. I won't forget every second of it. I even thought if I could get all the evidence, it would make Arthur very devastated, and destroyed. All the good reputation he had built up so far would be gone and maybe that would make me satisfied. "How was your day? Rosie said you've been very busy lately," Luke said, he had just returned and I was very happy. I don't know why but there was a sense of happiness when I saw his face through the door and smiled at me. He hugged me and it was comfortable, very comfortable. "Yes, very busy, or let's just say busying myself," "What's wrong? Don't tell me you did something," Luke said and approached
Chapter 45 Arthur POV “At least you should go home and meet your wife, even though it’s boring but you have to accept the fact because she’s the reason you’re here,” Brie said as she handed me a drink and sat down beside me. “But how long should I hide all this? I’m fed up, especially with Sarah, that woman has everything now, I don’t know how she got it all after getting out of prison,” “So you’re worried about her?” Brie said before dropping her hand on my thigh, stroking it slowly while looking at me coquettishly. “Brie I don’t want this,” I slapped her hand off my thigh and stood up, walking towards the large mirror in front of me, the view outside was the city. I was standing here with Sarah for the first time, in my apartment that Clara didn’t know existed. “Come on, we can convince them soon, their relationship feels so fake to me, even though they said they love each other a million times, but I’m sure it’s all just for revenge, do they think we’re stupid?” Brie said.
Chapter 46 The next morning I woke up when I realized I was just sitting on the sofa with a blanket covering my body, it must have been Clara who did it, she was indeed a caring woman. Clara cared a lot about the little things that's why what happened to Bobby right now only made her feel guilty. She was still asleep beside Bobby's bed, holding her son's hand tightly as if she wanted to turn back time and not taking her eyes off Bobby even for a moment. I should have been very lucky to marry her and have Bobby but I never really loved this woman. I tidied up the blanket that covered me, folded it neatly, and put it on the sofa before washing my face. I wanted to buy a cup of coffee maybe it could calm my chaotic mind. Going to the waiting room where I saw the drink machine, I was looking at what drinks I could drink that morning before my phone rang. It was still 7 o'clock and someone had called me, it must be Brie. "Hello?" "Where are you?" Brie's voice was heard on the other l
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 41My feet stepped closer and stopped exactly an inch away from Arthur. He stared straight at me maybe he thought what he said was true, what was in his mind was true, and I would make him continue to think like that.“Honestly I hate you, Arthur, deep in my heart, there is no more love for you, but the more I move away and avoid you, the more I suffer, I live but like I’m dead, you are the one who knows best how deep I loved you before, right before you pushed me into the deepest abyss, made me not stop blaming myself for what I never did, but seeing you with another woman and happier than when you were with me, made me jealous, that’s why I seduced Luke who I thought would hurt your heart but it turned out—““Shhh… I know you did all this just to be with me again, we can do it behind their backs, you are still mine and so am I,” Arthur said as he tucked my hair behind my ear and his fingers ran down my chest right where a tattoo was written there.“You know what? You look mu
Chapter 40 “You should have told me if you wanted to go to your father’s grave,” Luke said as he sat across from me with the lunch he prepared for me and Rosie. But Rosie chose to eat in her room because she was working on something, and it seemed like she hadn’t come back to work. “I didn’t intend to go there either, I just wanted to see Mary but for some reason, I remembered my father and decided to go there,” “How do you feel?” Luke said. “What? What about my feelings?” “You must miss your father, right?” Luke said. “Yeah, but not that much, I was just thinking about how he would react if he was still alive and found out his daughter did something stupid by choosing that bastard as my husband,” “You weren’t stupid then, but if you got back with him after what he did to you, that would be stupid,” Luke said. “What about Brie? Does she still contact you?” “She seems to be seeing Arthur lately, I feel like there’s something they’re doing behind our backs, or maybe
Chapter 39 Finally, I returned to that place, the place where I lived for 10 years without knowing why I was punished. There was only hatred and thousands of questions in my head, why me? And why did he do all that to me? The person I thought would be the person I could rely on the most, turned out to be the one who destroyed me the most. "Red hair," Mary's voice surprised me, breaking the chaotic thoughts in my head. The old woman entered the room with the black cardigan she always wore, her face still looked beautiful only a little pale, maybe she was worried about the punishment she would receive. "What made you come here? Is it because of Derick?" Mary said before she sat in front of me. I just stared at her at that time, for some reason I felt very miserable seeing this old woman in front of me, she even punished herself, would I do the same thing after successfully taking revenge on Arthur? “I will not sign over all your assets, they are yours and I have no right to receiv
Chapter 38 “Morning Sarah,” I heard Rosie’s voice and slowly opened my eyes, my room was already filled with sunlight, and she was standing right in front of me, which was unusual. “Morning,” “I made you a sandwich and juice, I’ll put it here, Luke said he stayed at Derick’s last night so he’ll come to see you today, I have to go to work now, and… I’m sorry about my behavior yesterday,” Rosie said. I didn’t even get up and process what she said but the girl just left, I slept too late thinking about our conversation. Her mother is my stepmother and she is my stepsister? No no, she’s not my sister because her mother is not my mother but still, after all this time I thought I had no one left it turns out I still have a family and it’s her. I sat on my bed leaning against the headboard and grabbed my phone from the nightstand, checking if Luke had contacted me or whoever it was and yeah I saw a few messages from Luke and Clara that’s it. Arthur just disappeared, but Clara sa
