"Sarah, come out. I need to talk!"Sarah turned toward the sound of the knocking on the window. Alex was standing there, hands on his hips."What does he want now?" Troy muttered in frustration as he got out of the car."Hey, bro! Can you be a little patient?" Troy shot a sharp look at Alex as he opened the door for Sarah."What's going on?" Sarah felt embarrassed, realizing Alex had seen her hugging Troy."Mom wants to talk to you. It's important."Troy sighed in annoyance, suspecting this was just another of Alex's tricks."Troy, I'm going in now, okay?" Sarah whispered to Troy, knowing he was upset."Alright. Take care!" Troy gently patted Sarah's shoulder. He then got back into his car and drove away."What's this about? Where's your mom?" Sarah hurried inside the house. But when she reached the living room, she didn't find Celine there and continued to the family room."Wait, Alex. Where's your mom?" Sarah turned to face Alex, her eyes scanning the entire room."Actuall
"Hey, Troy. Have you been waiting long?" Sarah tried to act normal, even though she knew Troy was upset. His gaze toward Alex clearly showed his dislike for him."Where did you go?" Troy asked coldly, his eyes still fixed on Alex, who had just exited the car."I took Gillian to school. Joshua didn't show up, and Gillian almost got late. Luckily..." Sarah didn't finish her sentence because Troy had already walked into the house, while Alex quickly headed to the pavilion.Sarah followed Troy, who was heading to the backyard. There, a nanny was with Prince, letting him get some sunlight. Troy stood by the stroller, playing with the adorable baby.Sarah decided to return to her room and get ready for work, pondering who could pick up and drop off Gillian over the next few days. She couldn't afford to leave her work unattended.In less than half an hour, Sarah was dressed in formal attire. She stepped out of her room, looking for Troy.She smiled when she saw Troy holding Prince in th
[Wait for me. I'll pick you up soon.]Sarah smiled as she read the message from Troy, which was the caption of a selfie he had taken with Gillian in the car. Both of them were making funny faces.[Thank you. I'll be waiting.]Sarah quickly replied."Good afternoon, Ms. Johnson, I'm sorry, but there are still some documents that need to be signed today."Sarah's eyes widened in surprise as Bradley brought in a stack of documents and placed them on her desk."Seriously, there's still this much? I thought we finished everything earlier. Troy and Gillian are already on their way to pick me up." Sarah looked frustrated."I'm sorry!" Bradley lowered his head, feeling guilty. Earlier, he had mistakenly informed her that all the work for the day was done."I see you're getting overwhelmed. Starting next month, I'm going to hire a personal assistant for myself and a secretary for you." Sarah began to go through the stack of documents in front of her."Again, I'm really sorry!" Bradley
"You look stunning. If only Albert were still here, you'd still be my daughter-in-law," Celine said, looking at Sarah in awe. Tonight, Sarah appeared absolutely captivating in a simple yet luxurious silk dress. The Swarovski crystals added an elegant touch to Sarah's appearance this evening.They were currently in the living room, getting ready to leave for the hotel to attend Alex's inauguration ceremony."I'll always be your daughter-in-law, especially since we have Prince in our lives," Sarah replied.Celine shook her head. "But soon, you'll be someone else's wife. If only you had married...""What do you mean by that?" Sarah, who had been busy with her phone, suddenly looked up sharply."I-I mean, if only Alex had come sooner, he could have taken Albert's place," Celine said, trying to sound convincing.Sarah responded with a faint smile. She understood what Celine meant by bringing up Alex. She also knew that Celine did not approve of her engagement to Troy."What do you t
"Troy!" Sarah's eyes widened in shock as she saw Troy embracing a woman she recognized. They stood not far from the bed, but Sarah noticed that the bed was still neatly made, and Troy's clothes were completely intact."Sarah!" Troy's face showed panic as he quickly released the woman in revealing clothing, who turned out to be Grace. But Lucy's daughter clung even tighter to Troy. Seeing this, Sarah felt a deep, piercing pain in her chest."Troy… Grace! W-what are you two doing here?" Sarah tried her best to maintain her composure. She didn't want to look foolish in front of Grace. She knew Grace would relish seeing her in pain.'That woman must have set me up.' Sarah thought, though she felt shocked and disappointed. Sarah tried not to show it in front of Grace. She took deep breaths, trying to appear calm."Grace, let go!" Troy barked, his anger rising, but his cousin ignored him."Hi, Sarah, Troy is mine now. I'm the only one worthy of being his wife. So, you, a widow with two
"Sarah, didn't you leave early? Why are you just getting home now?" Sarah nearly jumped when she heard Celine's voice as she opened the door."You're home already?" Sarah asked, surprised. She thought Celine and Alex would be home much later."Who did you come home with? Why did Joshua get home before you?" Celine asked suspiciously, her brow furrowing."I came home with Troy," Sarah answered as calmly as she could, though she was secretly watching Celine's movements."What? How could you have come home with Troy? Isn't he… uh." Celine suddenly covered her mouth."Do you know something about Troy?" Sarah slowly approached and eyed Celine with suspicion."Oh, no. W-what I meant was, wasn't he not invited to the event tonight?" Celine appeared a bit flustered."Oh, he was invited. I invited him. He was just late, so he brought me home afterward. Oh, and I took longer to get home because we made a stop on the way. Well, I'll go to my room now," Sarah replied with a smile as she hea
"You murderer!" Roy glared at Troy with a sharp, hate-filled gaze. The middle-aged man's chest heaved as he breathed heavily.Troy, who had just arrived in front of the ER, froze when he saw Roy and his family crying hysterically. His breath caught as he faced the furious look from his uncle."I didn't…""You let her drive alone while she was drunk. You must have been out of your mind!" Roy grabbed the collar of Troy's shirt and slammed his large frame against the wall."Roy, calm down! Grace is in a coma. We should be praying for her to wake up!" Levin quickly approached, trying to calm Roy, who was seething with anger toward Troy."Grace is in a coma?" Troy muttered, his face turning pale. His heart raced. A deep regret washed over him. He shouldn't have left Grace alone as she was heavily intoxicated.Troy had only been thinking about Sarah. After his fiancée stormed out of the hotel room, Troy panicked. But Grace wouldn't let go of him. Eventually, he had no choice but to pus
Sarah frowned after reading a message from the wedding organizer handling her wedding, which was only two weeks away."[Good morning, Ms. Johnson. Could you come to our place today for a dress fitting after lunch?]"'Why didn't Troy inform me? Does he not know?' Sarah muttered as she continued getting ready for work.Since the incident at the Carla Hotel a few days ago, Troy hadn't come to see her. Sarah was still upset and reluctant to reach out to her fiancé. But there was an unusual feeling that had been nagging at her. Troy seemed distant in recent days. There were no messages from him, no regular morning pickups."What's going on with him?" Sarah wondered."Heading out, Sarah? Let Alex drive you!" Celine greeted her as she stepped out of her room."No need. Thanks. I need to take the car. I have a dress fitting at the wedding planner's after lunch.""Are you going with Joshua?"Sarah nodded as she ate her breakfast."Not with Troy?" Celine asked eagerly.Once again, Sara
