Sarah’s P.O.VI was lucky to have survived that accident. Unfortunately, the truck that had hit me drove away. I hoped the police could find it and uncover any suspicious activities.I clearly remembered the truck driver's face. It was obvious he had deliberately wanted to hit my car. Luckily, Joshua managed to swerve quickly. By the grace of God, I survived the accident.When I woke up, Derrick was the only one I saw. I was pretty sure he also wanted to destroy me. Right now, I was weak and easy for him to control. I had better pretend to have amnesia.I couldn't trust anyone except Bradley. I didn't know who else I could trust. Carrie was currently busy. Luckily, I was able to contact her secretly using the phone a nurse had given me.I was thankful the nurse who had found my phone didn't give it to Derrick. So I could plan to trap those who wanted to destroy me, especially my cunning ex-husband."Hey, you can go home today. Gillian will be so happy to see you." Derrick spoke w
Sarah's P.OVI just received a message from Bradley: [Sarah, the person who hit you has been caught. They're now being interrogated at the police station.]Thank God the person was caught. But I was curious, who ordered him? Hopefully, it would be revealed soon. I was tired of this charade.[Sarah, Derrick came to the office. He's acting like a big boss. He is so arrogant. And during the meeting with the directors and shareholders, he didn’t understand anything. When asked questions, he was confused. Finally, he was bullied by everyone. Hahaha! He has now moved to your office. But don't worry, the surveillance camera in that room is connected to my phone.]I laughed, clutching my stomach, reading Bradley’s messages. I couldn't imagine Derrick's pale face when he was bombarded with questions during the shareholders’ meeting.Derrick had only graduated from high school. While working in my office, he was only responsible for procuring office and employee supplies. So, there was no w
Sarah’s P.O.VWho was it?I quickly opened my eyes. I saw a man glaring at Derrick. His jaw was clenched, and his fists were tight. Three burly men in plain clothes stood behind him, making Derrick back away."Joy, are you okay?" he asked with a worried face.I really wanted to jump and hug him, the man I missed every night.But I remembered I was still pretending I had amnesia. I couldn’t trust Albert until the truth came to light.I shook my head, looking confused."Joy, you don’t remember me?""Sorry..." I shook my head. Albert looked at me full of sadness. Why did it break my heart to see him look like that?"Don’t bother my wife!" Derrick snapped, glaring at Albert.Albert, angered, approached Derrick and grabbed his collar roughly."You're a real sly one! Taking advantage of Sarah’s amnesia to steal her money. You've been divorced for several months now!" Albert shoved Derrick so hard that he hit the wall."Sorry, the family of Ruth Dane, please take care of the adm
Sarah’s P.O.VThe two fugitives were brought to the yard by the police. One by one, their hands were handcuffed."Officer, what did they do wrong?""Mr. Brian Powell embezzled company funds, ma'am. And Ms. Kendall Kowitz is suspected of being involved," one of the officers explained.Was Brian Powell not a part of Peterson Group? I’d have to investigate this later.Derrick's face turned even paler. His body trembled. ‘Just wait, Derrick. Soon you'll join Lorraine in prison.’"No, Kendall! Officer, please don’t take my daughter. She’s pregnant!” Sonia suddenly ran into the yard, pleading with the police officer."Derrick! Why are you just standing there? Kendall is pregnant with your child!" Sonia shouted loudly.All the neighbors were shocked. They all started whispering and looking at Kendall with disgust."N-no, that’s not true. The child Kendall is carrying isn't mine. It's that man's," Derrick said, pointing at the middle-aged bald man named Brian Powell."Kendall… Don'
"A police station? Why are we here, Troy?""Calm down, beautiful. You'll know the reason once we get inside."The three of us got out of the car. A police officer greeted us at the entrance."Welcome, Mr. Peterson," the officer said, shaking Troy's hand.As we walked in, almost everyone nodded respectfully at Troy. Who was this man? Was it because he was one of the city's tycoons or a former celebrity? I didn't know."Please, Mr. Peterson and Ms. Johnson, have a seat." An officer who looked higher ranked invited us to sit in a more private room. Maybe he was the chief."Bring them in!" the officer ordered."Yes, sir."Not long after, two detainees were brought in by two police officers each.The two detainees, Brian and Kendall, walked with their heads down to the chairs in front of us."Brian, if you admit all your crimes, your sentence will be lighter.""Mr. Peterson, I'm sorry," Brian said with a remorseful face."Tell her everything you and this woman did to Sarah!""S
I felt relieved when I got home and found Sofia and Gillian safe. According to Troy, there were several of his people patrolling my house, and some of them were police officers. I felt much calmer.Why was Derrick still there? He must think I still had amnesia."Derrick, get out at once!"Derrick, who was engrossed with his phone, was startled when he saw me."What do you mean? This is my house. You can't kick me out!" he said firmly."Oh, really? Where's the proof that this is your house, Derrick? Where's the certificate? Show it to me!" I snapped, folding my arms across my chest.Derrick stammered."I already told you I'm still looking for the certificate. Stop playing games!" he barked."What if I find the certificate? What will you do?" I asked with a smirk.He looked even more flustered and anxious."Don't try to fool me! Remember, you're sick and have amnesia. It's better for you not to think too much!" he said, panicking."You fucking idiot! I regret ever marrying a l
Today, I had to go to the office. No matter what, I needed to fix the company's situation, which had been a mess since my accident.Derrick and Bradley had wanted to take over the company. Because of them, the company's situation became chaotic, and our stock prices started declining. Somehow, a lot of company money ended up in Bradley's account. He even deceived the financial manager.Bradley was still missing. No one knew where he was. The police were still looking for him."Good morning, Ms. Johnson.""Welcome back, Ms. Johnson.""It’s good to see you well, Ms. Johnson."The employees were surprised to see me. One by one, they greeted me warmly.Today, I gathered all the managers for a meeting. We must start hard work immediately if we did not want the company to go bankrupt.This company was the only legacy from my family. I had to protect and grow it. It was a responsibility I had accepted.I tried contacting Albert several times, but his phone was always unreachable. I r
I heard faint voices in the distance. Slowly, I opened my eyes. I saw white walls around me. I guess I was still alive. I said a little prayer in my heart, glad that I was not dead.I could smell the distinct scent of disinfectant. I had an IV drip attached to me.I must have been out for a long time. Remembering what had happened earlier, I wondered who got shot. Who saved me?I was really glad that nothing happened to me. I thought of Gillian, how she must be so worried. Oh I missed her so much. I wanted to hug her right now."You're awake?"I turned towards the door. It was Troy, with his handsome face smiling at me."Troy..." I whispered.Once again, this man had saved me."How are you? Still dizzy?" he asked, gently stroking my head.He was always this sweet to me."I'm feeling better. Thank you. You’re always there to save me,” I replied."Hmm? I just got back from Singapore this afternoon. I came straight here after getting the news from the police," he said, putting
