REJECTED BILLIONAIRE'S HEIRESS Chapter 25
MARK'S POV:As Paul walked towards me, he extended his hand for a friendly handshake. However, Jennie, who was already seated inside the car and had already closed the car door, was waiting for me. Paul was unable to make physical contact with Jennie and had to settle for a polite wave instead. "Mark, I would like to have a word with you, maybe we should talk it out at lunch." I was taken aback by his offer, so I hesitated for a moment before responding."But I just finished lunch now," I told him, hoping he wouldn't take offence. I wasn't sure what he wanted to talk about, but the timing seemed a bit odd to me."Then let's just talk." He said. Although I wasn't certain about the topic of discussion, then I agreed to meet with him. I decided to ask Paul to wait for me inside the Cafe while I join him later. Paul walked briskly towards the cafe, and I quickly made my way to the car. As I got into the car, I took a deep breath and mentally rehearsed what I was going to say to Jennie.

MARK'S POV:As I made my way down the long, dimly-lit corridor, my footsteps echoing against the concrete walls, I suddenly noticed Sarah walking towards me, a piece of paper clutched tightly in her hand. As we drew closer, she stopped abruptly right in front of me, causing me to halt in my tracks. I couldn't help but wonder what was on that piece of paper.With a hint of reluctance in her voice, she announced, "There. I signed it too." She held the paper up, making sure that I could see it. She seemed pleased with herself, but there was a hint of defiance in her voice as she added, "But it's up to me when I'll submit it and how." There was a sense of control in her tone, indicating that she was not willing to be rushed or pressured into making any hasty decisions. It was clear that she wanted complete control over the process and was not going to be swayed by anyone else's timeline or expectations. "I need you to hold on for me until I am able to contact my lawyer."Her tone sugg

SARAH'S POV:"Sarah, that was quick," Brenda remarked with a concerned look on her face as she saw me emerging from my lawyer's office, holding a folder of documents.I let out a sigh and replied, "Of course it was."Earlier that day, I had reached out to Brenda to ask her to accompany me to the lawyer's office to support me through the divorce process. As I gazed steadily at her, I noticed a flicker of fear in her eyes, which prompted me to inquire, "What is it?" "It's nothing," she replied with a smile on her face. "I just don't want to exacerbate the situation.""No, I'd like to hear what you have to say. What's on your mind?”"Did you know that Paul and I have become quite close? We just spoke on the phone," she said with a hint of excitement in her voice. Then she pauses for a moment, as if gathering her thoughts, and continues talking."How are they doing? Do you think Sarah and Mark have reconciled? Don't let them cross paths."As she spoke, I stood there staring at her in d

MARK'S POV:As I approached the door of my personal office, I noticed Jennie, my diligent assistant, seated at her desk, focused on typing away on her computer. As her Boss, her office is the first one you will see when you walk in before heading to my own.As I approached her, eager to share the news of the divorce, she gave me a signal that she didn't want to talk to me. Despite this, I felt compelled to have the conversation with her no matter what."Jennie, are you still angry with me?" I asked, my voice filled with concern and regret. Allowing a brief pause, hoping for a response, before gathering my thoughts and continuing to speak."Yesterday, after our lunch at that cozy little Italian restaurant on Main Street, I returned to the office and to my surprise and realised that you weren't there.""You act as if you don't even know where I live," she sighed and murmured."Please, I will make it up to you," I pleaded, but before I could finish my sentence, she cut me off with an u

SARAH'S POV:Last night, I couldn't sleep and was lost in deep thoughts when I heard a knock on my door. I dragged myself up and opened the door to find the maid standing there. As it turned out, Mabel had finally been found, and all the maids that had been held by the police in connection with her disappearance were released. It was a great relief for me to have the maid back, and I was glad that Mabel had been found.“What is it?” I asked her "Ma'am, the lawyer you were expecting is here," she informed me. However, I was in such a hurry that I didn't even let her finish her sentence. I pushed past her and rushed out of the room to meet with the lawyer."I've already met with my lawyer about the divorce process. We had a consultation to discuss the legal procedures and requirements, and I provided all the necessary information and documents. My lawyer has been working on the case and keeping me updated on any developments. I'm hopeful that the process will go smoothly and that w

SARAH'S POV:After finalizing the divorce settlement, I found myself sitting in the back of a taxi, feeling a mix of emotions and uncertainty about where I was headed. I was simply seeking a place to clear my mind and escape from the weight of everything that had transpired. It happened that I passed by a spot that reminded me of the times when Mark and I used to visit. It brought back memories of when I asked him why he always chose to take the subway instead of a taxi. He explained that whenever he had a rough day and no one to talk to, he would take line two, which loops around York. He found solace in watching people and the passing scenery, often staying on the subway until sundown. The station provided the perfect vantage point to witness the breathtaking sunset over York, helping him forget the day's troubles and feel a sense of calm before heading home."Excuse me, Sir," I called out to the driver. "Could we make a quick stop somewhere?"Once we pulled over, I stepped out of

SARAH'S POV:As soon as I arrived at the Barr Lawn office, I hastily exited the taxi without saying a word to the driver. Inside, I noticed that he was wearing earpieces, so I called out to get his attention. "Hey, Barr Lawn," I called him out, then he hurriedly responded with "Hey.” "Please, take a seat," he said warmly, motioning towards the inviting chair in his elegantly decorated office."Of course," I responded, my face breaking into a wide smile as I settled comfortably into the plush seat.As I eased into the plush armchair, he extended his hand towards a sleek leather bag."Take a look at the things inside the bag," he said, offering it to me.As I unzipped the bag and began removing items, I quickly realized that they were my parents' belongings. "What is this?" I inquired, my expression reflecting my surprise and confusion.“That's your fathers' bag," he said. "Fortunately, your father entrusted it to me as his lawyer before he died. Sarah, you may not realize that

MARK'S POV:"Have you heard from or seen Jennie today?" I asked Dave."No, sir. She hasn't shown up for work today," he replied.After that day we met at the coffee shop, I haven't seen Jennie at work, and she hasn't shown up either. I can't help but wonder if she's deliberately avoiding me. The thought nags at me, and I find myself murmuring, "No, I don't think so. Let me go to her place and check on her immediately.”"Dave, if anyone comes looking for me, please ask them to wait. I won't be gone for long," I instructed Dave, who stood before me, his gaze fixed on mine."Sir, you have a meeting scheduled with the executive in the next 5 minutes," Dave informed me."Can you please pay attention to what I'm saying? Postpone any scheduled meetings," I yelled at him."Okay... Sir.”As I left, I glanced back to see Dave's eyebrows shoot up in surprise and his gaze following me as I made my way out of the office.When I arrived at Jennie's place, I discovered that she wasn't there. As I w

MARK'S POVI could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, a low roar of rage building inside me. How could she? After everything, how could she do this now, knowing I still love her? Knowing what she meant to me? My fists clenched at my sides, my mind racing with a thousand questions, a thousand thoughts crashing in.Then I heard it — a low murmur from the crowd, a ripple of excitement spreading like wildfire. And then, as if on cue, voices began to chant, louder and louder, "Marry him! Marry him!"The words hit me like a punch to the gut. The room was closing in, the noise growing deafening, and I could feel the heat rising up my neck, my vision narrowing as the reality of what was happening sank in. Joe was down on one knee, a ring in his hand, and the crowd was cheering them on. “No… no, no, no,” I muttered, shaking my head as if trying to wake from a bad dream. My chest felt tight, and I could barely breathe. Paul reached out, grabbing my arm, trying to pull me back to my seat, but I

MARK'S POV:The restaurant was crowded, filled with the low hum of conversations and the clinking of cutlery against plates. Paul and I were seated by the window, where the sunlight poured in. I pushed my food around, barely tasting it, my thoughts elsewhere.Suddenly, Sarah walked in, her smile as radiant as ever, but my chest tightened when I saw who was with her — Joe. My jaw clenched instinctively. That man. I knew he had something planned, something dark. I’d seen enough of his schemes to know he was trouble, and now he was here with her. My Sarah. A burning anger rose inside me, spreading like wildfire. "They just sat down," I muttered, my eyes glued to them. I didn't even realize Paul was speaking until he snapped his fingers in front of my face."Hey! Earth to you," Paul called, his voice cutting through my thoughts.I blinked and turned to him. "What?"Paul’s gaze shifted towards Sarah and Joe, and then back to me. He sighed, exasperation etched on his face. "How long are yo

JENNIE'S POV:My father’s study, usually a place of calm, had turned into a storm of anger and tension. I stood near the doorway, my fists clenched, my heart pounding in my chest. I could hardly breathe. "Daddy, are you really going to sit there and let that bitch, Sarah, take everything we’ve worked for?" I spat out, my voice trembling with frustration. My words felt like acid on my tongue. The room seemed to shrink as I waited for his response, my breath quickening.My father, his face shadowed in the gloom, whipped his head towards me, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits. "I’ve told you to shut your mouth! I’m doing something about it!" He shouted, his voice slicing through the air. His fury hung in the air, thick and suffocating.I felt my cheeks flush with heat, my anger flaring even hotter. I couldn’t stay still. I paced back and forth, my heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor, frustration boiling inside me like a storm ready to break. My mind raced, thoughts tu

SARAH'S POVI smiled, glad to hear a proactive suggestion. “Absolutely. Explore those options. Bring me a list of potential partners and what they bring to the table. We’re not just here to compete; we’re here to lead, and sometimes that means joining forces.”Angela grinned and nodded, already thinking of ideas."And you, Daniel? What do you think needs to change?" I asked.He hesitated, then said, "We need stability. People are worried. They don’t know what to expect from you."I leaned back, considering his words. "Then make it clear: change is coming. But it’s a change for the better. We’re not just surviving; we’re going to thrive. And anyone who can’t keep up with that pace has no place here."I could feel the tension in the room. The executives exchanged uneasy glances. Some of them were on board, others were resistant. But they all knew one thing: this was not my uncle’s company anymore.No one moved. It was clear they had no more questions—for now, at least. I could see the g

SARAH'S POV:I could see the mix of expressions—some were still processing, some were skeptical, and a few were cautiously optimistic. I wanted to make sure there were no doubts and no misunderstandings about what was coming next.James, the CFO, raised his hand slightly, his eyes narrowing behind his glasses, he cleared his throat, adjusted his glasses, and stood. “What happens if these new strategies don’t work? What if we lose money and our position in the market worsens?" he asked, his voice steady but carrying a hint of challenge. I nodded, expecting this kind of resistance from James. "We adapt and pivot. We don’t cling to what doesn’t work. This company has been too afraid to take risks. But if we’re afraid to fail, we’ll never succeed. We’ll monitor every move closely, but doing nothing isn’t an option anymore.""We’ve been running a tight ship, focusing on profitability. I think we should maintain our current trajectory.” James continued.I nodded, my face expressionless. "P

SARAH'S POV:As I stood in my father's company, looking out over the city that had been the backdrop to this epic battle—a battle for survival, for control, for legacy. I felt a profound sense of accomplishment. The skyscrapers rose high above the clouds, their glass windows reflecting the dying light of the sun. I could see it all now—every corner, every street, every building that had witnessed the storm I’d fought through. This city had been a battlefield, and I had emerged victorious, my resolve unbroken. But the war wasn’t over yet. The real work was just beginning.Now, standing in this high-rise office, it was time to reset everything. I turned away from the window and looked around the office. Now, my office. Everything in here screamed of the old regime: the heavy oak desk, the leather-bound books lining the walls, the dimly lit. The office smelled of leather and old wood, a heavy scent of authority. I could feel the weight of my uncle's legacy pressing down on my shoulders

SARAH'S POV:The rawness of it cut through the air, making everyone in the room freeze. Andrew's words, high-pitched and frantic, shattered the heavy silence that had settled over the courtroom like a thick fog. Every head turned to him, eyes wide with shock. Even the judge, who had maintained a stoic expression throughout the trial, looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. The tension in the room grew unbearable, like the air had been sucked out, leaving only the charged atmosphere behind.The bailiffs, trained to handle situations like this, tightened their grip on Andrew. But he continued to thrash, his movements wild and erratic, like a trapped animal. His eyes, once sharp and calculating, now darted around the room in sheer desperation. “I had no choice!” he shouted again, louder this time, his voice thick with fear. He scanned the faces in the courtroom, searching for someone—anyone—who might offer him a lifeline, a way out of the fate that awaited him.Then, his eyes landed on
REJECTED BILLIONAIRE'S HEIRESS Chapter 108
SARAH'S POVThe courtroom was a cold, unforgiving place, filled with an almost palpable tension. The ceiling-high windows let in a harsh, gray light that settled over everything like a shroud. I stood at the defendant's table, gripping the edge so tightly that my knuckles turned white. The wood felt rough under my fingers, grounding me in the moment. My heart hammered in my chest, each beat echoing in my ears like the ticking of a clock. Every breath I took seemed louder than the whispers that had filled the room moments before. Now, it was silent. Unbearably silent.Barr Lawn stood beside me, tall and steady, his presence a rock in the storm of my emotions. He wasn’t just my lawyer—he was my friend, my guide through this harrowing journey. His eyes, usually so stern and focused, were softer now as they flicked toward me, giving a small nod of reassurance. I tried to find strength in his calm, but the fear was too strong. It coiled in my stomach, tightening with each second that passe

SARAH'S POV: The day before had been a blur of calls, documents, and the ceaseless hum. I didn’t feel like the same person anymore. The timidness that once gripped me had been burned away by the fire of righteous fury.My uncle’s legal team, once arrogant and dismissive, had fired the first volley—a desperate plea for a settlement. I had read their letter once, twice, maybe a dozen times. Each word was a thinly veiled threat wrapped in a mask of concern for “family unity.” But I wasn’t the same person who had bowed to their will in the past. That morning, as I held the letter in my hands, something inside me snapped into place, a final, unyielding decision.“No,” I had whispered, my voice echoing in the silence. “No more.”The battle lines were drawn in earnest. My reply to the settlement offer was curt, clinical—a refusal that left no room for doubt. Barr Lawn understood the stakes. He moved with precision, crafting each counter-response like a scalpel, cutting through the bluster
