The roads stretched out endlessly as we made our way, surrounded by an eerie silence broken only by the hum of the engine. Upon our arrival, the scene before us appeared desolate and abandoned. However, Richard, with a reassuring tone, affirmed to us that the place was indeed secure.As we entered the room, Richard retrieved a stack of documents and started to address us.

MARK'S POV:After hanging up the phone with Paul, I was hit by a wave of shock and disbelief. It was a revelation that Jennie, someone I thought I could trust, had been the mastermind behind all of my recent misfortunes. From orchestrating my separation from Sarah to the embezzlement of my company's funds, and now, eerily, she seemed to have control over every aspect of my life.The weight of these profound revelations pressed down on me, causing my entire body to quiver uncontrollably. I found myself unable to suppress my tears any longer, and they flowed freely down my cheeks."I have lost everything." I cried out, tears streaming down my face, I felt the overwhelming weight of loss. My anguished words caught Jennie's attention, and she hurried to my side, her eyes filled with worry as she stood in front of me, offering her unwavering support."Mark, is everything okay?

The rapid fire echoed off the walls, creating a disorienting cacophony that reverberated through the entire space.

The acrid smell of gunpowder intensified, mixing with the metallic tang of fear, creating an overwhelming sensory experience.

SARAH'S POV:The faint light of dawn began to seep through the cracks in the boarded-up windows, casting long shadows across the room each of us wrapped up in our own thoughts, fears, and strategies. Despite the exhaustion, my mind refused to shut down. Every creak of the old building, every distant sound outside kept me on edge.I replayed the events of the past few hours in my mind, trying to piece together the puzzle that had become our reality. Joe's sudden reappearance, the ambush, the desperate escape – it all seemed surreal. Yet the smell of gunpowder still lingered in my nostrils, a stark reminder of the danger that lurked just beyond our temporary refuge.Joe sat near the window, peering out through a small gap. His face was etched with concern, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was hiding something.

SARAH'S POV:"But how?" I asked Paul, my voice heavy with weariness and defeat. When Paul reassured me that this was not the end and that another solution would emerge, a glimmer of hope ignited within me. "Jennie has the legal guardianship. I can't contest that." I added."We have to find a way to fight this. There has to be a way to gain more access to Mark," Paul urged passionately, his determination etched on his face.As Paul voiced his determination, my mind raced, trying to process the weight of his words. We were sitting in the brightly lit hospital corridor, its sterile scent mingling with the tension in the air, leaving me feeling unsettled. I looked over at Paul, his jaw locked in determination, his eyes reflecting a steely resolve that hinted at the lengths he was willing to go to for Mark."What do you mean, Paul?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper as I struggled to process the gravity of the situation. "How can we fight this? Mark's life is at stake.""We'll find a w

SARAH'S POV:As we disregarded the doctor's advice, we went ahead and carefully positioned Mark in the back seat to ensure his safety. Despite my trembling hands, I knew there was no time to focus on fear. Our priority was to make a swift getaway. Lawn hurriedly dashed towards the car and swiftly hopped in.Before the doctor could make a move or reach for a phone, Paul accelerated, propelling us away at high speed.Paul carefully drove us to a secluded safe house situated on the quiet outskirts of town.

MARK'S POV: As I regained consciousness, I found myself in a place that was completely unfamiliar. The air was filled with the clinical scent of antiseptic, and the sound of medical equipment beeping seemed to reverberate throughout the room. When I attempted to shift position, I realized that my body felt incredibly heavy and uncooperative. A rush of fear gripped me as I realized that I was connected to various machines that were meticulously monitoring every single breath I took. It was then that I became aware that I was lying on the bed. I suddenly felt the presence of someone I didn't recognize standing beside me. "Mr. Mark, you're awake. Just stay calm. You've been through a lot," she said softly. “Where... am I?" I managed to croak out, my throat dry and scratchy. "You've been in a coma for three months. You had a severe reaction to a medication, but you're going to be okay now." She gently explained. "A coma! Three whole months!” My response was filled with surprise I l

MARK'S POV:As I closed my eyes, vivid images of our past flooded my mind. I could practically hear the laughter echoing in my ears and see the glimmering starlit skies where we made promises and shared our dreams. Now, those once cherished memories felt like cruel reminders of what was lost. I felt a lump forming in my throat and the sting of tears behind my eyes, but I fought hard to hold them back. Not here, not now."Why?" I managed to croak, my voice breaking.”Paul let out a deep sigh, his hand running through his hair. "Sarah is hurt, deeply hurt, you know."The words "She's hurt" echoed in my mind like a haunting refrain, reverberating through my chest and setting off a chain reaction of self-loathing. It felt like a dark tide was welling up inside me, threatening to drown me in guilt and regret. Memories of my past mistakes, selfish actions, and the times I had hurt Sarah came flooding back with relentless force. Each memory was a painful blow, a stark reminder of the person

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.

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.

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
