Chapter 55Luke's eyes were wide with worry as he turned to Sarah. "It's not safe," he said. "Arthur knows about our plan. He's furious."Sarah's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?" she asked."I mean that Arthur is trying to get rid of Clara as quickly as possible," Luke replied. "And he's going to stop at nothing to do it."Sarah felt a chill run down her spine. "How did you find out?" she asked."Brie told me," Luke said. "She's been working with me to bring Arthur down."But before Luke could say anything else, Sarah's phone rang. She hesitated for a moment before answering it."Hello?" she said."Sarah, it's Arthur," the voice on the other end said. "I need to see you."Sarah's heart was racing. "I don't think that's a good idea," she said.But Arthur just laughed. "Oh, I think it's a great idea," he said. "I'll be waiting for you at my apartment."Sarah felt a sense of dread wash over her. She knew that she couldn't go to Arthur's apartment, not now that she knew what he w
Chapter 56 Rosie's eyes were fixed on the map in front of her. She was an expert at tracking down locations, and she was determined to find Sarah and Luke. "Okay, I think I've got it," Rosie said, her voice filled with excitement. "They're at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town." Jodie's eyes widened. "Let's go," she said. Rosie nodded, and together they set off towards the warehouse. They were accompanied by a team of police officers, who were armed and ready for anything. As they arrived at the warehouse, Rosie's heart was racing. She could feel it in her bones that Sarah and Luke were inside. "Okay, let's move in," the police officer in charge said. Rosie and Jodie followed close behind as the police officers entered the warehouse. Rosie's eyes scanned the dimly lit space, searching for any sign of Sarah and Luke. And then, she saw them. Sarah and Luke were standing in the corner of the warehouse, looking relieved but also shaken. "Sarah!" Rosie exclai
Chapter 57 Luke and Jodie exchanged worried glances as they realized they had lost contact with Sarah and Rosie. They had been separated in the warehouse, and now Luke was frantically trying to reach Sarah on her phone. "Come on, Sarah, pick up," Luke muttered, pacing back and forth. Jodie was trying to reach Rosie, but she wasn't answering either. "This isn't like Rosie," Jodie said, her brow furrowed with concern. "She always answers her phone." The police were also searching for Sarah and Rosie, but so far, they hadn't found any sign of them. The warehouse had been thoroughly searched, but there was no trace of the two women. Meanwhile, the news of Arthur's scandal was spreading like wildfire. The television was filled with reports of his wrongdoings, and the public was outraged. Arthur watched the news with a growing sense of anger. How had everything fallen apart so quickly? He had been so
Chapter 58 Finally, Sarah and Rosie were safe, reunited with Luke and Jodie at the penthouse. Derick was already there, waiting for them, and the police had assured them that they would be keeping a close eye on the place to ensure their safety from Arthur. Derick explained that Arthur seemed to be more than just a ordinary person, that he was capable of doing whatever it took to get what he wanted. Derick had seen it in his eyes when they had confronted each other, a fierce anger and hatred towards Sarah and Luke for exposing his wrongdoings. Sarah admitted that she had underestimated Arthur, thinking he was just a wealthy man obsessed with power, but it turned out to be much more complex than that. Everything she had known about Arthur's background had been a lie, a carefully constructed facade to gain her trust. Even Luke felt betrayed, having known Arthur for so long and never suspecting that he was capable of such evil. Something had changed him, turned him into a monster. B
Chapter 59 After a month, Arthur was finally caught by the police and his first trial was scheduled to take place in two days. Rosie was sitting in the living room with Luke when Sarah came out of her room. For a month, her life had been more peaceful, at least now she knew Arthur was behind bars because his wrongdoing had been exposed. Rosie had prepared breakfast for Sarah and Luke accompanied her to eat at the dining table. Luke couldn't stop staring at Sarah and admitted his admiration for the brave girl. Sarah also looked more beautiful every day, making him stunned. They hadn't had sex for a long time because Luke didn't want to cross the line. He knew the condition and situation didn't allow it. As they ate, Luke couldn't help but steal glances at Sarah. He was amazed by her strength and resilience. She had been through so much, but she still managed to smile and laugh. Sarah, on the other hand, was feeling a mix of emotions. She was relieved that Arthur was finally caught,
Chapter 60 Sarah woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside her window. She stretched her arms and yawned, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. It had been a long and difficult journey, but finally, she could breathe a sigh of relief. Arthur was back behind bars, serving a life sentence for his crimes. Sarah had hoped for a harsher punishment, but at least she no longer had to worry about his presence in her life. With Arthur locked away, Sarah felt a sense of freedom she hadn't experienced in years. She could finally start to rebuild her life, free from the fear and anxiety that had haunted her for so long. Sarah got out of bed and began to get ready for the day. She had a meeting with her lawyer to finalize the transfer of Mary's assets. Mary had left her a vast fortune, and Sarah had agreed to accept it, despite her initial reservations. As she dressed, Sarah couldn't help but think of Mary. Despite her flaws, Mary had been a complex and multifaceted person, and Sarah
Chapter 61 Luke and Sarah lay in bed, wrapped in each other's arms, as they talked about their day. Luke had spent the day at work, dealing with meetings and paperwork, while Sarah had stayed home, feeling bored and restless."I'm so glad to be home," Luke said, nuzzling his head into Sarah's shoulder. "I've missed you all day."Sarah smiled, running her fingers through Luke's hair. "I've missed you too," she said. "But I have to admit, I'm getting a little bored just staying home all day."Luke looked up at her, concern etched on his face. "What do you mean?" he asked.Sarah shrugged. "I don't know, I just feel like I'm not doing anything with my life. I want to work again, to have something to do, to feel useful."Luke's expression softened, and he pulled her closer. "You don't have to work, Sarah," he said. "I can take care of you, provide for you. You don't have to do anything."Sarah smiled, feeling a surge of love for Luke. "I know you can take care of me, Luke," she said. "But
Chapter 62 Sarah woke up early, feeling like a kid on Christmas morning. Today was her first day of work at Design Solutions, and she was beyond excited. She had spent hours preparing for this moment, researching the company and practicing her design skills. As she got dressed and ready for the day, Luke appeared in the doorway, a cup of coffee in hand. "Good luck today, beautiful," he said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Sarah smiled, feeling a surge of gratitude towards Luke. He had been her rock throughout this entire journey, supporting her and encouraging her to pursue her dreams. As they drove to the office, Luke couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Sarah was finally starting her new life, and he was honored to be a part of it. As they pulled up to the office building, Luke turned to Sarah and gave her a serious look. "Remember, no matter what happens today, you're amazing and capable," he said. "Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise." Sarah smiled, feeling
Chapter 76 Five months had passed, and Sarah's baby bump was now visible. The pregnancy had brought a new sense of joy and purpose to her life. She and Luke had become inseparable, and their love for each other had only grown stronger. One sunny afternoon, they decided to visit Cheesy Cheese, their favorite restaurant, for lunch. As they walked in, Rosie's face lit up with a warm smile. She rushed over to Sarah, embracing her tightly. "Oh, Sarah! You're glowing!" Rosie exclaimed, eyeing Sarah's baby bump. "I'm so happy for you!" Jodie, the restaurant's owner, also came over to congratulate Sarah. "You two are going to make amazing parents!" he said, beaming with excitement. As they sat down at their favorite table, Luke couldn't help but notice how happy Sarah looked. She was radiant, and her eyes sparkled with joy. He smiled, feeling grateful to be a part of her life. Their food arrived, and Sarah dug in with gusto. Luke chuckled as he watched her savor each bite. "You're
Chapter 75 Rosie pulled back from the hug and looked up at Luke with serious eyes. "Luke, I need to tell you something else," she said. "Sarah's been having a really tough time lately. She's been feeling anxious and scared, and she's been having trouble sleeping." Luke's expression turned concerned, and he nodded for Rosie to continue. "She's been trying to hide it from you, Luke, but I can see it. She's terrified of Arthur, and she's terrified of what might happen to her and the baby," Rosie said, her voice barely above a whisper. Luke's jaw clenched in anger, and he looked like he was ready to take on the world. But Rosie placed a hand on his arm, calming him down. "Luke, I need you to promise me something," she said. "I need you to promise me that you won't say anything to Sarah about this. She's not ready to talk about it, and I don't want her to feel like we're ganging up on her." Luke's expression turned thoughtful, and he nodded slowly. "I promise, Rosie. I won't say anyt
Chapter 74As they watched the movie, Sarah couldn't help but feel a sense of relaxation wash over her. She had been so stressed out lately, what with Arthur's threats and her own personal demons. But being surrounded by Luke and Rosie, watching a silly rom-com, made her feel like everything was going to be okay.As the movie played on, Sarah found herself laughing and smiling along with the characters on screen. She felt like she was finally starting to unwind, to let go of all the tension and anxiety that had been building up inside her.But just as she was starting to relax, Sarah's phone buzzed with an incoming text. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should ignore it or check to see who it was. But something about the timing of the text made her feel uneasy, and she decided to check it.As she pulled out her phone and looked at the screen, her heart sank. The text was from an unknown number, and all it said was: "I'm watching you."Sarah's eyes widened as she felt a chi
Chapter 73 Sarah, Luke, and Rosie pulled up to the familiar sight of Cheesy Cheese, the fast food restaurant where Sarah used to work. Rosie, who was sitting in the backseat, let out a excited squeal as they parked the car. "I'm so down for some cheesy goodness!" she exclaimed, bouncing up and down in her seat. Sarah laughed and playfully rolled her eyes. "You're such a cheese addict, Rosie." Luke chuckled and put his arm around Sarah. "Well, I think we can all agree that Cheesy Cheese has the best cheeseburgers in town." As they walked into the restaurant, Sarah was hit with a wave of nostalgia. The smell of fried potatoes and sautéed onions wafted through the air, transporting her back to her days working behind the counter. Jodie, the manager of Cheesy Cheese, looked up from the kitchen and did a double take as he saw Sarah walking towards him. "Sarah! Oh my god, it's been ages!" he exclaimed, rushing over to give Sarah a hug. Sarah laughed and hugged Jodie back. "I k
Chapter 72 Sarah emerged from the bathroom, the pregnancy test clutched in her hand. Luke's eyes locked onto hers, and he could see the result written all over her face. It was negative. Luke's face fell, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. He had been so excited at the prospect of becoming a father, and now it seemed like that dream was still out of reach. Rosie, who had just woken up, stumbled out of the bedroom, bleary-eyed and confused. "What's going on?" she asked, taking in the scene before her. But then her eyes landed on the pregnancy test in Sarah's hand, and her face lit up with excitement. "Oh my god, is it...?" she trailed off, her eyes scanning Sarah's face for the answer. But when she saw the look of disappointment on Sarah's face, her own expression fell. "Oh no," she said, her voice filled with sympathy. "I'm so sorry, guys." Sarah forced a smile onto her face. "It's okay," she said. "I'm just glad I'm not pregnant. I was really worrie
Chapter 71 Rosie and Sarah sat together in the living room, enjoying each other's company on a rare day off for Rosie. Luke had gone to the charity, and Sarah had offered to keep Rosie company at home. As they sipped their coffee and chatted, Rosie turned to Sarah with a curious expression. "Sarah, can I ask you something?" she said. Sarah nodded, intrigued. "Of course, what is it?" Rosie leaned in, her eyes sparkling with interest. "How does it feel to be you today? After everything you've been through, I mean." Sarah thought for a moment before responding. "It's...different," she said finally. "I feel like I've grown so much as a person. I've learned to face my fears and stand up for myself." Rosie nodded, a warm smile on her face. "I can see that," she said. "You're stronger now, Sarah. You're not the same person you were a year ago." Sarah laughed, a hint of self-deprecation in her voice. "I'm still a work in progress, Rosie. I'm still figuring things out." Rosie's
Chapter 70 Sarah and Luke had been working tirelessly on their charity business, and it was finally starting to take off. They had been receiving donations and support from all over the city, and they were able to help more and more people in need. Sarah was thrilled to see the impact they were making, and she felt a sense of purpose and fulfillment that she had never felt before. She was finally able to put the drama with Arthur behind her and focus on building a better life with Luke. As they worked together, Luke made sure to fill Sarah's days with happiness and love. He would surprise her with small gifts and gestures, and he would always be there to listen to her and make her feel better. But despite their happiness, the long hours and hard work were starting to take a toll on them. One day, as they were walking back to their car after a particularly long day, Sarah looked pale and exhausted. Luke noticed it immediately and put his arm around her. "Hey, are you okay?" h
Chapter 69 The four friends sat around the dinner table, laughing and chatting as they enjoyed their meal. Jodie was particularly excited, regaling them with stories of his upcoming wedding. "I'm telling you, it's going to be the best day ever!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining with enthusiasm. Sarah smiled, happy to see her friend so happy. She turned to Rosie and asked, "So, how about you? Do you have a special someone in your life?" Rosie's face turned bright red as she mumbled, "N-no, I'm still single." But before Rosie could elaborate, Jodie jumped in, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Oh, come on, Rosie, don't be shy! I saw the way that guy was looking at you last night. And he even opened the car door for you! You're definitely taken." Rosie's face turned an even deeper shade of red as she protested, "Jodie, stop it! That was just a friend." Sarah smiled, happy to see Rosie so happy. "I'm just glad you're happy, Rosie," she said. "Just be careful, okay? Don't give your hear
Chapter 68 Arthur's face twisted with rage as he glared at Sarah. "You think you're so clever, don't you?" he spat. "But you're not. You're just a foolish little girl who thinks she can take on me." Sarah stood her ground, her eyes flashing with defiance. "I'm not afraid of you, Arthur," she said, her voice steady. Arthur's laughter was cold and menacing. "You should be," he sneered. "I'm the one who's been making headlines, who's been making your life a living hell. And you think you can just waltz in here and confront me?" Sarah's eyes narrowed. "You're the one who's been causing all the problems, Arthur," she said. "You're the one who's been manipulating everyone, using your wealth and power to get what you want." Arthur's face turned red with rage. "How dare you," he snarled. "I'm the one who's been making this city great, who's been creating jobs and opportunities. And you're just a selfish little brat who only cares about yourself." Sarah's smile was cold and calcula
