"I just never imagined that he would...""I know. I understand." Zayn smiled. "You are not in love with Nigel, and you most certainly wouldn't fall in love with me either. Sabrina, trust me when I say I have no intention of making you fall in love with me. I am the one who has been charmed helplessly by you and so, I am willing to do anything for you. Rest assured, I will never do anything to harm you or force you into doing what you are not willing to, ever.""Thank you, Zayn. I will take care of you," Sabrina promised, in tears. She was a woman of her words and for the rest of Zayn's time spent in the hospital, she never once left his side. Sabrina had also tossed his phone away as he requested. Even so, when Zayn was finally discharged a month later, they found it.A few men surrounded them by the entrance of the hospital and dragged them towards their vehicle. The two were helpless, Zayn barely recovered from his injury and Sabrina being pregnant. They were thrown into a black
Five years later.The rays of setting sun in the evening shone on Sabrina's slim figure, coating her in the golden light. She was wearing an overall with safety helmet on her head, occupied in commanding the progress at the construction site."Madam Scott, I am amazed by just how effective your proposal is. Our expenses for this batch were significantly reduced in comparison to previous batches and the quality of the materials we are using are much better too. The configuration is simply far too thought-out to be sold at this price. I heard that a lot of the apartments had been sold to owners that had high praise for the design and materials," said the constructor gratefully to Sabrina."Manager Ward, you shouldn't have to call me that. I am no professional architect. Just call me Sabrina." Sabrina smiled gently in return."Heavens no! Madam Scott, you might not have the title of an architect, but your abilities have spoken for itself and proven you more than worthy of the title. E
Zayn never attempted to force his way into a relationship with Sabrina. The two treated one another like they would their siblings. As time went by, the bond they shared developed into one that they would have considered each other like siblings by blood, with Sabrina's daughter also considering Zayn as her uncle. Four years slipped by and their lives had been peaceful. Sabrina would come home every evening to take care of Zayn. She would help him into the house and set the bed for him, before heading out to fetch her daughter from the kindergarten. Usually, her daughter would accompany her uncle as she headed back to the construction site and worked until half past six. But as she had just finished helping Zayn into the house, her phone rang."Hello? Miss. Wals?" The call was from her daughter's teacher at the kindergarten."Mrs. Scott, you need to get here this instant. Your daughter was in a fight with one of her classmates again!" Miss. Wals requested, her tone impatient."Oh, o
The obese man turned around to face Sabrina and roared, "You skank, apologize! You must get down on your knees and apologize!""I said, watch your mouth!" Sabrina retorted calmly."Why? Did he say anything wrong? Aren't you a single mother? Not just that but an unmarried mother, too! Women like you are born to be cheap and shameless! Your daughter is nothing but a little skank like her skank mother, and she dares to hit my son? Who on earth do you think you are?"A vicious-looking woman who stood next to the obese man was glaring at her. She was dressed in a black and white striped coat made of mink fur as if to show off how wealthy she was. The makeup on her face was so heavy that it almost seemed like it was falling apart as she was shouting at Sabrina. Clearly, that couple were uneducated nouveau riche, and Sabrina was not intimidated by their presence."If I'm not mistaken, my daughter is a year younger than your son, how could she possibly beat him up? Besides, kids fool aroun
"Leo's grandparents are generous donors who sponsored over two hundred thousand dollars to this kindergarten, they are...""So basically you are saying," Sabrina interrupted Miss Wals, slightly irritated, "that if we refuse to apologize, my daughter will be forbidden to continue her study here in this kindergarten?""I'm afraid..." Miss Wals replied as she struggled to find the right words. "I'm afraid it won't be that simple. Even if Aino drops out, she will still...have to apologize.""What for?" Sabrina raised her voice."Miss Scott, you have to understand that your daughter is the one who hit her classmate first," said Miss Wals."I request to see the footage!" Sabrina was furious. In the past five years she had been in this country, she had never caused any trouble and had devoted herself to her job. She might have seemed like a sincere and truthful person who was more than willing to compromise, but the one thing she would not tolerate was for anyone to bully her daughter!"
"You stay right there, skank!" The sharp pain on his lower back made it impossible for him to stand so the man shouted as he was sitting on the ground. "Woman, you try stepping out of this kindergarten, and I will make sure you suffer for it. People are going to find the corpses of both you and your daughter on the street, rotting!"The threat had Aino startled and her hand froze in her mother's palm.Sabrina looked down at her daughter, her heart ached for the little one and she consoled, "Aino, it's okay. Mommy will handle them."Aino nodded in response and Sabrina turned to stare at the vicious family calmly. "I am standing here now, how about you try and do something right here? This is a civilized society, you try harming a hair on me and I will contact the local police. Not only will I do that, but I'm going to file a lawsuit against this kindergarten. I heard that your father-in-law sponsored this kindergarten, is that right? And I'm guessing he did so as an investment too? Th
Especially those three months. She was dragged into the elite community of the South City as a plaything for men from wealthy families and almost got herself killed in the process. Three months was enough for Sabrina to swear off believing in true love and above all, she wanted nothing more to do with wealthy men. She only wished to live in peace with her daughter and Zayn here in this country for the rest of her life, and nothing more.Sabrina hesitated for a moment before answering, "Director Johns, I sort of have my hands full over here. Excuse me but I will have to hang up for now."Sabrina hung up and swiftly got onto the scooter with her daughter. As soon as they arrived back home, Aino darted into the house screaming "Uncle, uncle!" along the way.Zayn heard them and wheeled himself out. "Oh dear, here comes our precious little beauty Aino. Will you tell your uncle just who was it that you beat up today? Did they lose a tooth or two?" he asked playfully."Brother," Sabrina s
Sabrina turned around to find the developer of her current construction project, the proprietor who had contacted her earlier, Neil."Director Johns, what brought you here?" Sabrina asked humbly as she looked steadily at Neil.Neil was dressed in an exquisite suit that emphasized on his handsome features and athletic figure. His looks along with the fortune he held had made him one of the most eligible bachelors in the county with countless girls dying to crawl their way into the wealthy developer's heart. Had Sabrina run into a caring man like Neil back when she was studying in college three years ago, she might have been moved. But after everything, Sabrina only wanted to live her life in peace with her daughter and her brother."I wanted to invite you to dinner, but since you have returned home, I thought I could come over to check on you." Neil lifted his hand that was holding the basket of fruits and flowers and explained, "I bought them for your daughter and your brother, do a
In a blink of an eye, Aino was already 18.She was already going to college.Her husband, Mister Ford, already had gray hairs on his sideburns and was already a man who was pushing 50.Both Sebastian and her had gone through thick and thin together for almost twenty years.That was so fast."Old man," Sabrina called out.Sebastian turned her head to the side and looked at Sabrina. "What did you just call me?"Sabrina smiled. "Isn't that right? You're going to be fifty next year, and I'm only in my early forties. I'm not an old lady, but you are a proper old man! Let me ask you something. Your sideburns have turned gray, are you going to dye your hair on our wedding day?""I'm not going to! I simply want others to say that an old man like me is marrying a young wife! Listen to me. You'd better stop dressing up and putting on makeup in the future!" Sebastian said to his wife, who looked ten years younger than him.How unreasonable!This old lady simply has not aged a day since
Yvonne hugged her children and lifted her head to look at her mother. At that moment, she was incredibly excited. She was both excited and aggrieved, which made her cry inconsolably. She rushed into her mother's arms. Immediately after, her father also hugged both her and her mother. The family of three was finally reunited. No, it should be a family of five at that moment. It would be a family of six with Marcus included. The family of six hugged each other and cried so much that the people at the side could not help but cry as well. Even the nurse also teared up.It was after a long while that Yvonne's parents let go of her."Alright, my child, let's go home. Let's go home."Helena raised her head and looked at Yvonne. Her child did not have her original face anymore, but she was truly her child. After her child went missing for five years, she finally got her child back. During that time, Yvonne got a rare condition that was hard to cure in any part of the world, but she was cure
After everything, all of it, was handled, Marcus suddenly burst out in tears."What's the matter, my son?" Missus Shaw has lost three sons and he was the only son left by her side. When she saw her son crying like that, it was only natural that she felt very saddened."Mom…I just feel that karma really is a funny thing. It's really making a fool of all of us! It turned out that everything was already destined. Everything was destined!" Marcus was covered in tears.Missus Shaw was confused. "What's the matter, my child?"Marcus cried and then he smiled. "Mom, I've finally understood why God let Yvonne go through this disaster that lasted for five years. It turned out that God had given her the biggest hardship which seemed so inhumane, but God had given her the best reward. Otherwise, the person who truly died would've been my Yvonne, wouldn't it? I would've been my Yvonne."Hearing him saying that, Missus Shaw said extremely emotionally as well, "That's right. At the end of it all
The fake Yvonne was still conscious the second before she died. She watched herself fall over with her eyes widened. She never would have expected it. After she had plotted everything, she was only one step away from the wedding, and then she could have replaced the real Yvonne and truly be a part of the high society of South City and be the wife of a rich man. However, she was fatally shot. Who was it?There was no time for her to look into it in detail before she fell to the ground. All of her regrets were forever sealed in her body. Without even a cry or shouting, she fell to the ground. She was feeling so reluctant to accept defeat that her heart had already stopped beating but her eyes were still wide open.Marcus was also stunned. He did intend to have Bonnie's entire gang arrested in one go, and he had already done it. The police were simply there that day to have this group of people surrounded. However, never in a million years would Marcus expect that someone would kill Bon
Two female attendants wheeled out a completely sealed glass cart. The ring that was carefully kept inside the glass cart was truly colorful and dazzling. Every side of the gem was radiating in different colors as the light shone upon it through the glass chart. The fake Yvonne was stunned silly when she saw it. Another person who was also stunned silly was the tan and fat man holding a pair of binoculars while sitting in a car across from the jewelry store.The tan and fat man muttered, "Gosh! This man must love her so much. He actually is willing to spend so much on her! This woman really deserves to die! She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently. "Do you like the ring I'm giving you?"The fake Yvonne was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "I like it. I love it too much! I truly love it so much!""I should've given you this ring four years ago. It was such a pity that at that time…""It's fine, hubby, it's fine. Is
All thirty people in the banquet hall were stunned. At that moment, they still have not made sense of what the hell has happened. How come a group of police came in once Yvonne left? Did they arrest the wrong people?"No, officer, we're…friends of Master Marcus of the Shaw family in South City. We've saved his wife. Master Marcus even said he is going to give me two apartments as gifts. Did you…have the wrong place?" Bella boldly asked the police at that moment.Nobody answered Bella. A few police officers came up and confiscated all of their phones. Not a single one was left behind.Bella could not hold herself back anymore and said while trembling, "We're Marcus' friends. He is not an ordinary person in South City. If Marcus knew that you've arrested us, when the time comes…"A police officer sneered. "The people we're arresting are all of you, the group of Marcus' friends!""Huh? Why?" Bella did not understand. Actually, she was not too familiar with the law. She just knew tha
"A billion dollars! Isn't he just insulting us, the three Shaw brothers? Marcus loves this bitch so much! When I see her looking so happy, I just want to kill her immediately! I have to have her killed!"At this end of the call, the tan and fat man asked Marcus' eldest brother very respectfully, "Sir, as long as you give an order. Just tell me, how do you want to get this woman killed? Why don't I kill her now?""No!" Marcus' brother stopped him and said. "It's not the best time now. There are too many people in there, so it's not going to be easy for you to escape. I only have a loyal servant like you. I can't let you die. You have to find a place outside that you can easily run away after getting the deed done. Now is not the right time!"The tan and fat man instantly said, "Alright, Sir, whatever you say. I'll find an even messier place and have this woman killed! I'll be hanging up now, sir!"After he hung up the call, the tan and fat man continued watching everything inside th
When Bella heard Marcus saying that, she immediately said shyly, "Gosh, how can I trouble Master Marcus in everything? No…there's nothing else.""Come on, Bella, whatever difficulties you have, just say it. My husband is the second most powerful person in South City anyway. There's really nothing he can't do." The fake Yvonne lifted her head and looked at Marcus coquettishly. "Am I right, hubby?"Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne very dotingly. "Baby, what do you think? I'm a husband that you've picked, so could you have been mistaken?""That's right!" The fake Yvonne happily leaned her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus hugged the fake Yvonne and was feeling so disgusted that he almost threw up. This Yvonne and his Yvonne indeed look very alike. They looked extremely alike! If this Yvonne did not speak and remained quiet, Marcus would feel that this is his Yvonne and his wife whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. However, the real Yvonne would never make such a request o
Of course, the fake Yvonne agreed. Three days later, they held a banquet for the fake Yvonne's benefactors at the most luxurious hotel in South City. Some of them were out-of-towners. There were also some from South City. Marcus roughly scanned them and surely, the middle-aged woman was there. She was the woman who was staying in the same area with Mila back then and the one who suggested letting Mile do a DNA test.Marcus held the fake Yvonne's hand and came to the middle-aged woman. "Miss, do you still recognize me?"The fake Yvonne immediately introduced her to him. "Darling, let me tell you, this is the lady who had helped me the most. Her name is Bella Hughes. She has always been taking great care of me, including the time I had a miscarriage. She was the one who took care of me. I feel we should give her two apartments!"The middle-aged woman named Bella immediately waved. "No need, no need. There's really no need for that. To be able to escort you back to your husband's side
