Sara's POV"And I'm saying this to clear the air between us right now. I… am the CEO of this company from now on and should be treated as such. All important information should be sent to my email. As the acting CEO, you're now my secretary. You'll fill in for me when I cannot attend some events. However, I am still the CEO." I said with much authority."Got it ma'am." They chorused."I expect to see company's info on my desk within the next hour. If there's a need to call forth another meeting for any reason whatsoever then that I would keep in touch with all of you. That being said," I got up on my feet. "Meeting dismissed."I proceeded to walk out of the room and head straight to my office. The CEO's. Where my father used to work. I touched the chair and the desk of the office and felt a burning desire and feeling in my chest.As CEO, there were turns and turns of responsibility to be done and if I didn't do well to delegate the tasks to trusted heads in the company, this union wou
Sara's POVI got into the car and drove off to Davis's law firm. It was the standard from sight. I'd been here a few times before and knew my way around. But it was only that this was the first time I was coming here as his married wife.I stepped into the law firm confidently. One thing I knew for certain, I was representing Davis and so I had to act well.A worker rushed to me with a wide smile on her face, all friendly and firm."Hello ma'am, is there anything I can do for you? You look like a new face so i—""—I am here to see my husband, attorney Davis."The woman seemed taken aback by my response, but then she looked at me closely and her eyes brightened up. "You are Mrs Sara—""—Please," I interupted. "Lead me to my husband's office straightaway.""Yes ma'am."I followed behind the woman who walked really fast, and behind her I was strutting like I was on a runway. It was a really thrilling sight seeing other lawyers going about their jobs. The moment I took the elevator as ins
Sara's POV "Oh my gosh, they're such a cute couple." I heard all sorts of endearing comments until Davis and I were outside."Are your workers always chitty chatty?" I asked once we were alone."Just ignore them." We walked up to my car and I gave him the keys."Didn't you say you were going to drive?" He asked me."I was going to but I'm exhausted so I think I'm going to take a little break now. Is that okay?"Davis accepted the keys and got into the driver's seat while I got settled next to him."You ready?" He asked as I struggled to fix my seatbelt."One second." I finally got it fixed up and gave him the go ahead. "Let's go."We drove off and arrived in front of a sushi restaurant. It was an extravagant sight. One I could not contend with."I was not in the mood for sushi." I told him."Me neither." He replied. "But since we're here we should both go try something out."We got into the restaurant and both ordered the first option on the menu. Sushi and salad."Do you like it?"D
Sara's POVThe door bursted open and walked in Ruth with an excited look on her face. "Boss, I brought you a whole bottle of orange juice since you might want to make sure it safe, you're pregnant and you should be more careful about the things you take."I was about smiling but one of the words she mentioned sent shivers down my spine. I got up from the slanty chair in haste, walked past Ruth to look behind her and make sure that no one else had heard. Once the coast was clear, I closed the door shut and pulled Ruth close to me, grabbing her by the shoulders."What did you just say?""You're pregnant. Is that not—"I clasped my hand around Ruth's mouth, clasping it shut. "Do you have any idea what the consequences of what you've just said?"Ruth looked shocked and confused all at once. "I'm a med student in my final year so I can identify that you are pregnant.""How?" I asked genuinely just so I could know if I had somehow exposed myself to others in ways that I wasn't aware of. Oth
Sara's POV"I'm actually very tired today so I can't eat it. Probably.. I'll get my period soon."Davis looked tremendously relieved by my comment. "I've always wanted to say this but it skipped my mind. Recently, your body changes has seemed a bit different so I was concerned and even brought it up to you that we go to the clinic but…" he exhaled. "Thank God it's just your period.""And you should be more grateful," he said. "You have a caring husband. So just manage and eat up all that I bought you. In a few days, you'll be losing a lot of blood and knowing your strong temper, you'd still want to sustain your workload. Let me advice you one more time, Sara. Eat well these days so when you start your period, you don't look like a shell of yourself."I sighed. This guy…After all what he'd said, did I need any further explanation? There was literally nothing to say. "Fine, I'll eat it all up. Just let me be."Davis smiled and then walked out the door leaving me alone and in a panicke
Sara's POV"No that's not what I meant," I told Davis but he didn't seem to pay my words any mind. "I know exactly what you mean my dear love and I'm responding accordingly." I was beginning to get frustrated by all his wiles and techniques. It was unfitting for him and it was beginning to really sit badly on my nerves."Davis," I said seriously and he stared at me before quickly looking away. "There should be something fun playing in the television, so why don't you take the food and watch something. You seem a bit tense lately, I don't think that is very good for your back."I exhaled, refusing to let this moment pass without any addressing."Davis," I said firmly. "Stop trying to circle around the main issue, I know you are deliberately trying to put down the importance of this issue and I'm not going to have any of that.""Whoa, easy there Mrs. CEO you seem very much on edge? What about a nice massage—""—Davis.""Or a nice trip to the island in Francisco. I hear that's a great sp
Sara's POVAnd I went to my room disappointment, I had hoped to get a little bit of free idea off of Davis but his words still stood. Work life and Office life. He made sure to differentiate that quite a bit.I received an email, a copy of some document attached to the letter from my step-nephew as well as assistant.Good morning from Claude, your assistant, hope this message finds you well. There's an emergency I need you to brief you on. It's concerning one of our major investors. I was on a call with him and he mentioned four valid points that he's having with the company and of which I've attached a document to brief you on.I clicked on the document briefly and sat up on my bed. But that was not enough for me. I felt too uncomfortable doing nothing so I stood up and sat on a chair instead as I viewed the document.Preface of the company is no longer attractive to the public. When the company was first founded by the late CEO, that was the move that was well accepted at this time
Sara's POV“You shouldn't be so scared. It's 7:15am and I'm heading to work now so I just wanted to wake you up so you can sort yourself out from there.”“Okay,” I said with a groan. I looked at Davis and saw that he had a sheepish look on his face.“See you at work.”“Okay.” I replied, and only realized what he meant as he walked out the door.What he meant was me meeting him as a client tomorrow, wasn't it?I groaned and yawned as I sat up on the bed, I decided to get on with my life as well. I went on ahead to the bathroom and took a shower, taking my precious time with all the scented perfume and candles. I didn't know why I was doing this but I knew my father enjoyed stuffs like this while he was alive. Perhaps, it helped stimulate him or something. Eventually, I discovered that I was taking too much time and wasting it. I decided to spend more time being productive.Anywho, I put on my dressers. A pair of blue pants and blue suit with a pair of stiletto high heels. It was tall,
Sara's POV I didn't know how it happened but she grabbed me and I was forcefully put into her car. The car's driver switched into child lock and I was unable to open the car and get out. The chair sped off and my screams were useless. The glass and everything about the car was bulletproof as well as noise proof.I was in trouble. But I was not going to give up here. Not ever.I was scared. But I knew I had to take my chances least it become much worse when I'm in isolated area.The key was in getting the car out of childlock. If I did, I'd run out, even if I was to hurt my knees, it was way better than staying in an isolated place with them.The woman I recalled, I met in front of the door to Davis' and I booked room at the hotel. Not that I thought clearly, nothing about her made sense.And I was going to slap the sense back onto her so she knew clearly that she was messing with the wrong person.“You,” I said to her. “What's your name?”“Amelia.” She responded. “And you're not goin
DAVIS POVThe moment I woke up, I wanted to go right back to sleep only for the sake of being next to Sara, my wife. However, that of my wish didn't come to fulfillment because I had things to do to ensure that Sara would be safe at all times.I went to speak to one of my friends who happened to be a prince in Egypt. By coincidence, he also happened to be here with his foreign girlfriend for some fun.“You know it's always a pleasure to see you Davis. I never imagined you'd be here at this specific time.”“It's okay,” said I.“Can you do me a favour?” I asked while we were walking down the stairs of his very exotic mansion. “Anything for you, brother.” He said with thick Egyptian accent. “I need at least six well-trained bodyguards.”“What for, brother? This is Antarctica. You are safe here.”“Or am I, brother?” I looked to my Egyptian friend and I decided to tell him the full update. “I have some lady threatening me.”“A lady? Bro the entire nation's crushing on you. You're a catch
Sara's POVI was in a mall dressed in designers clothing bought by my very exquisite husband. And he was putting on me an extra layered jacket with enough heat to keep me warm to the point to sweating even whilst it was raining.“Davis,” I tried to say. “I'll be fine with one jacket, the rain isn't that heavy.”“I just don't want you to get sick.” He said. He himself was only wearing pant trousers, and a turtle neck shirt.“I'll be fine, I promise.” I told him. “Let the facts confirm it,” he said. And I was shut out of words to tell him.Davis received a phone call and I understood from the back and forth conversation that the pilot that Davis had made a deal with told us it was best to suspend our travel to tomorrow due to the rain and wind.All these disruptions were caused by nature so we could do little about it. “Let's lodge at an hotel for the night, then tomorrow we can home.” Davis said.I nodded. The mall we were in had a section where we could buy food.“Should we buy a sna
SARA'S POVI went to the bathroom for some break.Eventually, I got back to the room with a smile on my face.“We've just finished eating. Why don't we go watch the movie I promised you?”So we ordered an Uber to go to the movies. On the way, we bought some sunshade and masks to protect ourselves from the public. Once we arrived at the movies, it was a bit difficult what to watch because all the movies seemed interesting. But Davis wanted to see one that was about an army dude and so I decided to go along with that one too.We did take some snacks with us but while we were at the movies, we did not chew a single popcorn. It wasn't that we were so fixated on the movie that we didn't have any time— No, it was that we were already full from the lunch we had at the restaurant.By the end of the movie, I was feeling quite refreshed.“Was the movie worth the trip?” Davis asked me after the movie was done.“Can I say yes?”Davis nodded at me. “I hired someone. He'll take us back home for fr
SARA'S POVDavis was only trying to be mature in his relation to other people. Like me, he was also constantly growing through situations and circumstances so I had to be patient with him. Just because he used a certain formula in the past did not mean that he would use it again. Each time in itself was special and unique.“Shall we?” I saw a waiter usher another couple into the VIP section.I looked back at Davis who was now hung up on his phone. He seemed eerily perturbed. Davis was rarely perturbed.“Is there something wrong?” I asked out loud which made his hurriedly make to put his phone into his side pocket.“No. Why would there be something wrong?” He chuckled but I was not buying that from him.However, before I could press in more thoughtfully, Davis leaned forward and said, “you see those couple who just walked in, eh?”I nodded.“They’re the owner of a world renowned foundation. CRC.”“O.M.G.” I said comically.I looked to the couple and saw the female was already walking t
SARA'S POVSo we landed in Antarctica. Just a lucky flint that we were alive. I felt as if God preserved my life personally so I could tell others of how much he was visible in my life.From the beginning of my life untill this moment, If I didn't have the favour of God in my life, I doubt I could mentally still be able to push forward with anything.“What do we eat? You must have exhausted all your strength while we were in our chopper.”I shook my head at Davis. I didn't get how he could still be sarcastic despite what we've just been through. It was almost like he didn't have a negative bone in his body. How miraculous. I wanted to say many things to Davis in a sarcastic way but I kept silent. I respected him all through his nonchalant attitude and I even dared say it was because of him taking leadership during the flight that we were here safe and sound.“What do you want to eat?”“Something sweet.”Then we were off to a restaurant Davis was acquainted with, coming here on a busin
DAVIS POVShe looked like a fresh piece of cake in the white dress she was wearing. Her feet were clad in flat slippers and her hair which was let down danced widely above and below her shoulders.“Where's the guy that's supposed to fly us?” She asked a few minutes after we got there. But I did not have the answer.“I'll check.” I grabbed my phone and checked my phone book only to see that I had a missed call from my chopper rider. I called him back and was surprised by the emergency sounds I kept hearing in the background.“Hey, friend, what's going on with you? My wife and I are at the site but you're a no show. What's up? Thought we had an agreement 15k per hour.”“I’m sorry boss but I can't make it to the site no more today?”“And why is that?”I kept hearing background noises of women saying “We're losing him.”“Hey, friend, what the hell is going on with you? Tell me.” I did not like being at the other end of something.“Boss, matter of a fact is, I got into an accident on my wa
Davis POVCooking delightful meals was not something that was new to me although I preferred the maids handle that. Today however, when the maids were on their offday. I made something for myself to eat. It was nearly day break and I knew Sara would soon be up as well. I thought it would be nice to prepare something for her to eat. Eventually, I settled on an egg toast sandwich and salad.Once the food was done, I knocked on the door and then opened it only to see Sara sitting in front of the mirror with wet hair. It seemed she had just got off the shower. Actually, it was very clear she had just gotten freshened up in the bathroom.“How are you, Sara?” The moment she turned around to face me, I saw her eyes vividly widen. Then she turned forward with her eyes firm. I could see she was trying her best to seem strong.“W-what are you doing? Won't you go to work?” She seemed snippy in attitude. It was as though what happened between the two of us last night didn't happen.I decided to
Davis POVI made things worse even though that was not what I intended to do. I decided to put all that excess energy into work and I succeeded. But the emptiness was still there.Deep into the night, I noticed Sara step out in a red silky nightwear. Her wavy hair was let down and she looked cute walking with her barefeet. Her toe nails, I noticed were void of colours, clean and gorgeous. I wondered if it were possible to find another kind of woman like her in the world which was now condemned with sin and a lot of sensual stuff.I would really desire if she could give in to me as her husband. Although this marriage was contractual, I needed her to believe in me. I wanted this thing between us to become real. I wanted us to be of one blood. One lifeline.I sighed to myself as I watched her get a bottle of drink from the fridge. Her fingernails, dark red. It looked as though she'd just made it. Perhaps, in anticipation of the ball I made her agree to.“Dear Sara,” I said to her. She l
