Sacha first stood there contemplating what to do after that horrible phone call. She knew her mother was serious and would do what she had threatened to do. She would make sure that Mandy ended up in jail tonight even on false made-up charges.
And Sacha could not let that happen to Mandy because of her own selfishness. It was time that she returned back to her family and face the music.
The only good thing though was that her mother seemed to not know yet about her marriage to Gavin. Sacha felt grateful that Mandy had not let that out even while under pressure.
Dialing Mandy`s number, she waited for her friend to answer. But it went to voice mail. Still, though Sacha decided to leave a voice message.
"Mandy...I am so so sorry for the trouble I seem to have got you in. You are a good friend and I promise that I will make it up to you." After leaving that, she finally turned around and started walking along the beach coastline in thought. &nb
As soon as she had flown back, Sacha had ditched her cousins by hiring an uber. and headed straight to her penthouse apartment, not wanting to go visit her mother with them. She was not in the mood to see her after what she had done to Mandy. During the trip, Sacha also bought a new phone, with Gavin`s number being the first thing she saved as she renewed her old number. Her phone immediately pinged with loads of messages and call notifications from her mother during her absence. If only she had a way to block her mother`s number, but she could not because if she did, her mother would show up in person and give her more trouble. Sacha preferred communicating with that woman on the phone because at le
An exquisite red carpet graced the front door of the Greenwood mansion. With a succession of top luxury cars arriving at the big gate where everyone had to present their invite. Elegant and dignified guests came out of the luxury cars, with many bigwigs having brought their own bodyguards too. All of them were dressed in expensive-looking brand clothes, and let's not even mention the jewelry. Sacha got out of the car, the fancy one which her mother had sent. This from knowing that her daughter would arrive in whatever car if she did not send one. Still, Sacha really did not want to be here. There was even the press and paparazzi taking pictures of the guests. Of course, knowing Peter, he loved the attention and publicity. But did he have to use her as an excuse to throw
Gavin`s Pov "Son," Gavin looked at his mother upon hearing her call his name. He had visited her at the hospital as he always made sure to do every week. "I can see the sadness in your eyes, did something happen between you and my daughter-in-law?" she asked, looking worriedly at her son. She had noticed this week that he had not been himself. Then was him not bringing his beautiful wife along too. "Sacha traveled back to her home country for family stuff." Gavin finally replied, Right now he was depressed from missing her. He had last spoken to her three days ago. He had noticed too, how tired she had looked. So he was not angry about her missing his calls. Still, a part of him was worried, what if she no longer loved him anymore? What if she had found someone else? "If you ask me, its not good for a young couple such as you two, to be apart like this," his mother commented now realizing what was truly worrying her son. However as his mother offered the advice, Gavin found
Sacha first sent a glare at her mother for orchestrating all this. “Say YES,” Sacha saw her mother mouth to her demandingly. This made her inwardly scowl; she was not some robot to be dictated on what to do. Still, her palms were almost sweating from the pressure of being cornered. This was as Sacha found herself, surrounded by guests with expectant looks, all waiting for her to say yes so that the celebrations could start. Then was the horde of paparazzi with their cameras already flashing as they took pictures for the engagement news tomorrow. Even Peter had a smug arrogant look on his face of already expecting her to say yes. However, Peter that arrogant jerk was the last person on earth that Sacha would ever want to get married to! Maybe if this had happened before she met Gavin, she might have said yes for the good publicity and then canceled the engagement afterward in private. But now things had changed after her trip to America, she now had a husband and one she was very
“You got married?”“Yes,”“When, where?”“In Las Vegas weeks ago.” Shocked distraught gasps echoed,“What does he do?” the barrage of questions seemed to never end.“um uh…he is…a..uh.." Sacha found herself nervously stuttering in reply, from knowing how they were all soon going to react, once she answered."I`m a car mechanic, ma'am.” she quickly turned to her husband as he answered for himself, a sexy respectful smile on his face.But as soon as he finished his reply, only dead utter silence immediately filled the whole room. Only the sound of silverware cluttering to the floor could be heard.“Honey please tell me that I am not hearing right! Because if it's true, I may just use my own hands to KILL MY ONLY DAUGHTER!” her high-class mother`s enraged shriek, quickly blasted through the room.Whereas her aunt now had her ha
Previous weeks earlier~Sacha`s POV~~~How dare they!Why me!I hate them!Rage filled Sacha as she walked out of the huge Victorian Mansion, her so-called family home. She made sure to angrily slam the front double door as she headed outside, where a black expensive car awaited her.Her Driver quickly rushed out and opened the car door for her to enter. He avoided her sea-green eyes upon seeing the rage simmering in them.Her assistant secretary also followed behind into the car. Her mouth zipped shut from having just witnessed the whole drama which had unfolded inside. She too knew how pissed off and angry Sacha was right now.As Sacha sat inside the luxurious leather seats, she was still fuming. She regretted having attended that so-called damned family bbq! One which had turned into some planned and orchestrated blind date for her.
“Sacha! I cannot believe that you actually came!” Mandy quickly screamed while rushing to wrap her into a warm hug. There were at the airport and Mandy had come to wait for her arrival. Sacha immediately returned the hug, Mandy was one of the fewer friends she still had. She was thankful for that, considering the many other estranged relationships she had because of rarely ever socializing. “Yeah, me too,” Sacha spoke as they walked over to Mandy`s car, Unlike Sacha, her friend Mandy did not come from a rich family. But still, she had worked hard to make a life for herself and was a prominent lawyer. She also always still made time to Party and have fun! She was a party girl at heart. “Well Sacha my friend, we are going to have so much fun! I promise you will not regret having come to visit me!” Mandy replied with a playful wink as she got onto the driver`s seat, already handing Sacha a bottle of wine for her to start drinking and relax.
“Urg my head,” Sacha could not help but moan in pain as she woke up with an intense headache. It felt as if a hammer was being pounded onto her head.“And who opened the damn window,” She added, unable to open her eyes properly and squinting because of the intense sun rays, It seems that it was already afternoon!Thinking she was at her hotel room, her hands perused the bed, as she wanted to wake Mandy up. But she only ended up feeling this really really muscular and naked chest!She quickly took back her hand.Her heart was now beating. She was afraid to know whom she had ended up in a one-night stand with. And the whole night was still a blur with a pounding headache whenever she tried to think too much.She first lifted the bedsheets to check underneath and found she was also not wearing clothes, just her undergarments, black lacy bra, and panties.She finally turned around to check the person sleeping next t

Sacha lay on a towel, wearing a two-piece swimsuit with a serine-filled look in her eyes as she gazed at the sea. The way the waves crept steadily towards her, gently drenching the sand while softly dousing the golden sandy beach. The sun`s rays laminated her skin with heat as she lay there sunbathing. Today was Sunday, not that she was counting nor cared. Each moment that she was spending here with Gavin, time seemed to become irrelevant. Since it was a weekend, Gavin had brought her here to the beach. Switching positions she turned around to also stare at the sky. While also using Gavin`s sunglasses to protect her eyes from the sun. Only to end up closing them for a small lazy nap. As soon as she did, she felt a shadow arrive blocking her sun. A smile instantly graced her face as soon as she felt more movement, and delicious tasting lips meeting hers. He was back. He had left to go acquire some surfboards saying t
Upon hearing Sacha`s response, the happiest smile in the world quickly took over on Gavin`s mother. They then went back to talking about Gavin`s baby pictures as he entered the room coming back. They spent more time with her until she started kicking them out to go home. “It getting too dark, and you have a long drive until you reach home.” She told them with a worried motherly look. “Sacha if Gavin ever gives you problems, let me know, for no man is too old to get spanked by their mother!” At hearing this, Sacha quickly burst laughing happily while replying that she would definitely do so. “Jeeze mom and love you,” Gavin also spoke with a fake scowl on his face while leaning to give her a sweet kiss on the cheek as they said their goodbyes. “So what did the doctor say…” Sacha awkwardly asked, not knowing if she was allowed to inquire so. But she had to. Now that she had met Gavin`s mother and become close with her, she too now found herself w
“What is it about him that is making me feel like this. What has he done to me.” Sacha found herself biting her bottom lip in confused thought as she secretly glanced at Gavin. This was while pretending that she was focused, reading the novel in her hand. Right at this moment, they were at his workshop where he was busy fixing a car while she just hang out there with him, not wanting to stay back home alone. “Home,” Sacha found herself thinking, was this what that little cozy studio apartment had become to her? All her life, she had lived in mansions and manors but none had ever felt like home. Instead, they had all felt like prisons, always knowing that she was being watched and never free to do what she wanted. But here with Gavin, it was like a breath of fresh air. She could wake up when she wanted, wear what she wanted, spend the day however she wanted but best of all, get to spend more time with Gavin. She did not know why, but there was just som
Although it was small and did not look like the luxurious restaurants that Sacha was used to going to, she could admit that the place had its charm. It just had this homey-like atmosphere, retro look and she could even smell the delicious food being made all the way from the Kitchen.There was even a small old jukebox playing some jamming beats.They found a seat at the corner near the window and sat waiting for one of the waiters to come while reading the menu.“So regarding our marriage, Mandy is a divorce lawyer and said that she is going to handle it. However it may take 6 weeks or so to finalize,” Sasha found herself speaking and informing Gavin, After all, he deserved to know and she was going to need him for the paper signings.But before he could reply, a waitress arrived at their table.And all talk about Divorce left Sacha`s mind as soon as she noticed the skanky-looking waitress start trying to flirt with Gavin right in fro
