REJECTED BILLIONAIRE'S HEIRESS Chapter 99
MARK'S POVThe air in the crowded room was charged with tension as I stood there, racking my brain for a solution. Sarah was within arm's reach, yet it felt like there was an impenetrable barrier between us - a barrier erected by Barr Lawn. I took a step back, keeping my eyes fixed on her, hoping to find a way to break through the wall that had been built between us. "Sarah!" I called out, my voice cracking with emotion as I desperately tried to push through the throng of people and reach her. An officer, tall and imposing, moved to block my path, his firm presence a solid barrier. "Step back, Mr. Mark," he commanded, his authoritative tone leaving no room for argument as he held out a restraining hand to stop me from getting any closer to Sarah. My heart pounded in my chest as I looked at Sarah, my eyes pleading with her to listen. "Sarah, please. Just hear me out." Her eyes, filled with a mixture of fear and confusion, locked onto mine for just a brief moment. In that instant, I

I wished I could turn back time and fix everything.As I walked, I thought about the things I should have said and the things I shouldn't have done. I hoped for a second chance, but the emptiness of the streets seemed to mock me.

How did it go?"Taking a moment to gather my thoughts, I finally replied, "It went really well," feeling a sense of relief washing over me.

"That's great news! But wait, have you checked out what's happening online?" she inquired, her voice taking on a sense of urgency.I furrowed my brow in confusion, shaking my head slightly and blinking to clear my disorientation. "No, I haven't. What's going on?”"You should really check your phone right now," she urged. Her voice was urgent and tinged with excitement.I rummaged through my bag, feeling around for my phone.

SARAH'S POVAs the night approached, everywhere began to quiet down. I poured myself a cup of tea and settled into my favorite chair, scrolling through the endless stream of social media reactions. It was surreal to see my work making such an impact, but it also came with a sense of responsibility.Just then my phone buzzed again. It was a message from Joe: "Hope you're okay. I'm always here if you need to talk."I smiled, feeling a warm rush of gratitude. Despite the chaos and the pressure, I knew I had a solid support system. It was a comforting thought, one that made the challenges ahead seem a little less daunting.My thoughts drifted back to Joe. I found myself reflecting on his unwavering support and realized that I owed him a much-needed heart-to-heart conversation. With a resolute nod, I reached for my phone and dialed his number.

SARAH'S POVI quickly made my way over to her, gently lifting her up and carefully carrying her over to the chair. She settled onto my lap, her tiny hands holding onto my shirt with a firm grip."What's wrong, sweetie?" I inquired in a gentle tone, using my fingertips to delicately brush a loose strand of hair away from her face.She looked at me with a serious expression that seemed far too mature for her age. “When is Daddy coming back? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”As I listened to her words, my heart felt heavy with pain. The realization washed over me that my future with Mark was uncertain. I was determined not to burden my daughter with our relationship troubles or the divorce. Taking a deep breath, I paused to carefully craft the words that would protect her from the turmoil in our lives."Daddy won't be able to come home for a while," I murmured softly, attempting to conceal the ache in my own heart. Mabel's countenance seemed to crumble as her once lively eyes dulled w

SARAH'S POVThe day had finally come. I dressed up carefully. As I walked towards the sitting room, my heart pounded in my chest. There, standing side by side, were my grandmother and Brenda, both smiling at me with warmth in their eyes.My grandmother’s smile was gentle. She walked over to me, her footsteps slow but steady, and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.“Child, I know this is not easy. But remember, you come from a long line of fighters. We’ve faced storms before and come out stronger. You will too. Don’t be afraid, my dear. You have more courage inside you than you realize. You will win this battle, just as those before you have.” She said softly.Her words wrapped around me like a warm blanket on a cold night. I felt a little of my fear melt away, replaced by a small flicker of hope.“Thank you, grandmother, I’ll do my best,” I whispered, feeling a surge of determination.“I know you will,” Grandma said, squeezing my shoulder gently.Brenda stepped forward, her smile

MARK'S POV:I stood at the center, feeling the heat of their fury pressing in from all sides. Jennie and Sarah, both standing rigid, faces twisted with anger, were caught in a standoff that could only end badly. The accusations, the sharp barbs, each one landing with the precision of a practiced fighter, had escalated beyond control.“That’s enough,” I said, my voice surprisingly calm given the circumstances. I didn’t shout or demand; the quiet intensity of my words was enough to cut through the noise. For a moment, they both froze, as if time itself had paused to take a breath.Neither of them moved. The anger was still there, burning hot just beneath the surface, like coals ready to burst into flames at the slightest provocation. But my intervention had created a pause, a brief moment of clarity in the chaos. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself, trying to rein in the fury that had consumed me. It wasn’t easy; I could feel the edges of my control fraying, but I knew that if

MARK'S POV:As I drove home, my mind kept circling back to Jennie. How did she get the nerve to keep threatening my family like this? It wasn’t the first time she’d crossed the line, and I’d let it slide too many times before. I had promised myself not to push her, to give her space, but her actions had gone too far. I couldn’t ignore it any longer. The more I thought about it, the clearer it became—I needed to press charges. Enough was enough. It was time to take action.As I approached the fuel station, I noticed my car was running low. I pulled in, more out of habit than necessity, filling my tank to avoid the chore tomorrow. As I stepped out of my car, something caught my eye—familiar, yet unexpected. Sarah’s car was at the next pump. My heart skipped a beat. What were the odds of this coincidence? I was stunned, unsure of what to do. Should I approach her? A part of me wanted to rush over, to talk to her, to see if she was okay. But I hesitated, remembering my promise. She need

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.

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
