"Make sure you eat your food whenever you are in the office""Don't overwork yourself, when you see that the work is too much,drop everything and come back home""I know men like hanging out with friends especially after work,be careful and don't take alcohols""Stop overthinking,it will help a lot in your life"Sarah ranted while folding the bedsheets."and most importantly"she said keeping the bedsheets on the bed.she took a glass of water and a pill before heading towards Lorenzo who was staring at her with surprise and admiration."Always remember to drink your medicine"she said handing him the glass and pill.After drinking,he handed the empty glass to Sarah who walked towards the table to keep the glass."I will be downstairs"she said to him heading towards the door."Why are you doing this?"Lorenzo's deep voice stopped her on her tracks."Why do you ask?"She asked turning to face him."Don't answer questions with a question,I just want to know because this is unlike you to be ki
As she left the manager's office,she headed towards Charles's office.she wanted to have a word with him and she hoped that everything would go well because she knew how Charles can be when it comes to matters concerning their relationship.As she approached his office,she heard voices coming from his office, thinking he was busy she decided to leave and come back later but she stopped on her tracks when she heard her name.she took a step forward so she could hear everything that was being said.she wondered who he was talking to and why her name was being mentioned,she opened the door a little to see that he was talking with a woman,she was backing her so she couldn't see her face clearly.the grip on her purse tightened when she heard everything they were saying."I have warned you about visiting me at my place of work but you don't ever listen to anyone but yourself"he said to the woman sitting on the chair."Please stop nagging like an old man,I'm tired of waiting,you say you love me
"This is the worst betrayal ever"Sarah yelled,tears rolling down her cheeks this time around.there was deep silence as the duo didn't know what to say to her."Why did you lie to me?you made me feel like I was the most precious thing to you,I thought I had someone that truly cared about me but who would have thought that I have been fooled for so many years now"she said to Charles who didn't say anything,he bent his head low in shame.she turned towards Angela who whose gaze was focused on the floor."And you? How can you do this to your fellow woman? don't you have a little bit of conscience in you?"Sarah asked as she began to drag her hair.Angela tried to free herself but Sarah held onto her dragging her hair and hitting her at the same time.Seeing how Sarah was rough handling Angela who couldn't stop the attacks on her,Charles decided to interfere."Sarah stop this"he tried to free Angela from Sarah's hold but Sarah held Angela tightly.Charles was now annoyed."Stop this!she is pre
It didn't take long before he arrived at the bar,he took a deep breath before letting it out when he saw Sarah sitting on the chair with her head placed on the table.he strode towards her immediately and he looked at the 12 empty bottles of alcohol on the table and 8 which were untouched.he felt a sting in his heart,how could she drink this much?he thought."Thanks"he said to the man standing there as he focused his attention on Sarah again."Sarah"he called her name while tapping her but she didn't get up.He tried lifting her up but Sarah held his collar."Leave me alone you despicable evil man before I kill you"she yelled trying to strangle him but Lorenzo was able to get her hands off him.he helped her to stand up."Get your hands off me,I'm okay"she said in a drunken voice pushing Lorenzo before staggering backwards."Oh see who we have here"she exclaimed while approaching him,she held his cheeks examining his face."You look so cute and handsome,I bet your wife is so lucky to hav
In Lorenzo's office,he was working but his mind was not at peace as he was still thinking of Sarah.he has left earlier in the morning so he could get the thoughts of her in pain out of his mind but nothing seems to be working.no matter how he tried,he couldn't stop thinking about her drunk state,the sound of her sobs,the pain in her eyes and the hateful words she uttered that night.As he couldn't bear it anymore,he dropped his pen and laptop,he placed his hand on his head as he swirled his chair.he was in deep thoughts.LORENZO'S POV.I love Sarah so much and I'm willing to do anything for her but everything that happened yesterday night made me to see the bad effect of the decision I made.I was too selfish that I didn't see that I have ruined her life,I made her family force her into marrying me without giving her chance to let her opinion out.She is going through a lot because of what I did but I couldn't see it because I was too selfish with the love I have for her.it breaks my h
Lorenzo was left sitting on the dinning table alone.his head was filled with thoughts of how she acted and what she said.he remembered seeing tears in her eyes before she left or was his eyes just deceiving him?Even though she explained that he was the reason behind her behavior the other night,she should be happy that he has finally decided to divorce her or could it be that she have finally fallen in love with him and she didn't want the divorce to take place again?.After the thought of this,he patted his head so he could stop thinking of one of the most impossible things,he concluded that he was just overthinking and thinking of things that would never happen,the Sarah he knew hated him so much and wanted to divorce him and that is it. He picked his car keys and drove to the bar.he wanted to free himself of the thoughts of her.At the bar,he is sitting down with one of his friends as they sipped their drink slowly.Just a mere look at him,his friend Chris could sense that something
In the evening of the next day, Lorenzo and Sarah were seated on the chair in the dinning room having their meal in silence."What changed your mind about the divorce?"Sarah asked breaking the silence between them."You said that you were not drunk because of me and I realized that I should have asked you what the problem was in the first place since you are my wife and not giving you the divorce you always wanted"Lorenzo replied and Sarah didn't say anything as she continued eating her food."Do you mind telling me about your problem?I might be of help to you"he said to her.Sarah stared at her fork while thinking of the excuse to give him,there was no way she was going to tell him that she was like that because she found Charles cheating on her.he would definitely be disappointed in her and she didn't want that to happen."I understand if you don't feel like saying it"his voice broke her out of her thoughts and her gaze returned to him."But I want you to know that I'm always here f
Lorenzo and Sarah packed their suitcases the next day as they prepared for their vacation."Shall we?" Lorenzo inquired, extending his hands like a gentleman. Sarah grinned as she took his hand in hers. Lorenzo smiled with delight as Sarah became more at ease about him. He was certain that before the holiday was through, she would fall madly in love with him.They arrived in Hawaii in the early morning hours. They took a nap as soon as they checked into their hotel since they were exhausted.Sarah was already awake when Lorenzo opened his eyes, and she appeared to be lost in contemplation as she gazed out the window at the water. Simply by looking at her,You could tell she was sad just by looking at her.After deciding what to do, he slowly rose from his bed and tiptoed to where she was standing."Boo!" he yelled in her ears, causing her to jump in fright before turning to see what was going on, and she saw Lorenzo laughing at her."Hey, why did you do that?" she inquired, but Lorenzo
LEON'S POV." How are you doing my dear nephew?"he questioned and I smiled. "I'm doing great especially now that we have began to co- operate like the family that we are" I replied him. "Talking about family, I think we should have a family dinner one day"he said and I smiled. "Sure, you can text me anytime you are ready. I will make myself available. I have to go now" I said to him before walking into the elevator. As soon as I got to my office. I scattered everything on my desk in anger. I was really furious and I wanted to vent my anger out. He is such a hypocrite. How can he smiling at me like he doesn't want me dead?. Well, I can't wait for that smile to wipe off his face. I don't think I will be able to hold myself for long anymore. I can't stand this people anymore and it's really fustrating. I have to start my plans and finish it as soon as possible. I can't wait anymore. I really miss Ivy so much and I want to hold her in my arms again and tell her how much I love
IVY'S POV. The sound of the alarm made me open my eyes. I switched off the alarm which was still ringing before rolling up the curtains and the rays of the morning sun shone brightly into my eyes. I went into the bathroom and took my bath before changing into my maid's uniform. I headed to Leon's room to clean his room and when I reached there,he was taking his bath so I hurried up cleaning the room before leaving. I helped out in the kitchen. After everything,Leon came to have his breakfast dressed up already for work. "Good morning sir"I greeted him as he sat down on the chair. He only nodded at me. I stood there while he sipped the tea. I bit my lips and rubbed my palms as I thought of what to tell him. "Why are you standing there, staring at me like someone who lost her way?"he asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I glared at him. The first word he will tell me this morning was insult. That's very rude of him. I'm just putting up with him because I love him.
IVY'S POV. I was in the kitchen preparing some food to eat when I received a call from Sarah. She was crying so much and I became worried. I wonder what was happening to her. Did she have a miscarriage or what?. "Sarah, what is happening?" I asked. "Ivy,I need to talk to you right now. I can't bear this anymore. I can't bear this pain anymore".she cried. "Okay,I will come to you right now. Just text me the address" I said to her before ending the call. I ran into my room and changed into a simple blue gown. I put on my sandals before leaving the room. I boarded a cab which took me to the hotel Sarah was in. I couldn't help but wonder why she was staying in a hotel. I found the room she was staying in,I knocked but got no response from her. I pushed the door opened and entered the room only to see her crouched on the floor crying. She was holding an alcohol in her hands too. I rushed immediately and took the alcohol from her hands. I kept it on the table.
SARAH'S POV. I opened the envelope as thoughts of what it could possibly be filled my head. I brought out the paper inside of it and started going through the contents. I was shocked when I saw what it was about. It was an annulment letter. Lorenzo wanted a divorce. I felt like my world was crumbling down. Tears rolled down my cheeks profusely. All this while I have been hoping that he would gather his thoughts and come back to me but he was just planning our divorce. A day didn't pass when I don't think of him, how is he doing and what he was up to but all this while he was just thinking of how to annul our marriage. My heart hurt so much just from thinking about it. "You are a disappointment"I heard Kelvin's voice. "This marriage is the only thing you can contribute to the business of this family but you couldn't do it"he continued. "I told you Lucas, it is such a waste taking this useless daughter of yours in. She is just useless to this family. She is just like her mistress mo
SARAH'S POV. My luggages were scattered in the compound. I parked my car immediately in the garage and alighted from the car, rushing into the mansion. Luckily I saw Lorenzo seating in the living room. "What is happening? Why is my things outside?" I questioned. "Oh you are back"he said to me, standing up from the couch to face me. "I have been waiting for you and since you are here, I will go straight to the point. I don't want you to be in my house again. I can't stand the sight of you anymore"he said to me. "Please Lorenzo don't do this to me. Give me another chance"I pleaded. "Don't you get it?. I don't want to see you anymore. Seeing your face everytime only irritates me. Just leave now I'm asking you before I call the security"he said to me. I fell on my knees as tears rolled down my cheeks. "Please don't do this to me" "Security! Security!"he called and his men came in immediately. "Please escort her out of the mansion. I don't want to see h
SARAH'S POV. After spending some weeks in the hospital, Lorenzo was finally alright. Even though I was happy,my happiness was short-lived because he didn't want to see me anywhere around him and it hurts so much. He will be discharged today so I woke up early and took my bathe. I dressed up before driving to the hospital. When I got there,he was talking to the doctor. "Okay, I have heard"he said to the doctor who greeted me before leaving. He didn't stare at me nor said a word to me. He just acted like I wasn't there. He tried to get up from the bed but he missed his balance. I rushed forward immediately to help him but he pushed me with so much force that made me to crash to the wall and hurt my arms. The pain I felt from my injured arm wasn't compared to the pain I felt when he looked at me with so much hatred in his eyes. "How many times will I tell you that I don't want to see your face for you to hear me?. Is it that you are deaf or you are just being stubborn
SARAH'S POV. I slowly opened my eyes,the first thing I saw was the white ceiling. I got up from the bed and held my head which was throbbing. My eyes scanned the room and my gaze landed on a man lying down on the floor. Just then he got up from the ground. I could recognize who he was when he stared at me."Charles" I muttered. I looked down at my body and discovered that I was naked.I covered myself immediately with a duvet."What happened to me?"I thought as I was very scared right this moment then everything that happened the other day replayed in my head. I got up from the bed immediately with the duvet still covering me and opened the window and the bright sun shone into my eyesight and I realized that it was morning already. I fell down on my knees as tears rolled down my cheeks profusely. The Happy life I was living with Lorenzo is over. How would he even look at me when he saw my ex boyfriend banging me right in front of him. How would he believe me if I told him that
LORENZO'S POV. I couldn't get the scene I witnessed out of my thoughts. I was in such much pain that I thought my heart was being yanked from my chest. How could Sarah have done this to me? I adored her and gave her everything I had, but she chose to betray me. She didn't even try to hunt me down to apologize; she simply sat on that filthy bed and did nothing. How could she? She and that boy are going to pay for breaking me. They have to pay. Because I didn't want to go home yet, I drove to a nearby bar. I ordered so many drinks in an attempt to erase my agony, but no matter how hard I tried, it remained vivid in my mind. After consuming the one on my table, I ordered more. I can only forget this anguish by becoming drunk. My gaze was drawn to a girl sitting on the other side of the table. She had a nice smile on her face as she looked at me. I drank the whiskey in my glass cup before staggering over to where she was. "Why are you staring at me?"I asked in a drunken tone,
IVY'S POV. I packed my bags as I prepared to leave my apartment. My eyes scanned everywhere to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. My phone rang,I looked at the caller id and saw that it was my dad calling me again,I disconnected the call. I wasn't ready to talk to him. I felt that he wasn't the man that raised me. The man that raised me was a good man who taught me to be a good kid. How could he turn out to be a murderer?. Tears clouded my eyes and I wiped it with my handkerchief. My phone started ringing again and I switched it off this time around. My eyes scanned the room as I wanted to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. My main goal now was getting Leon back. He has the right to hate me because I know how it feels to grow up without a parent talkless of him whose parents were murdered when he was still a kid right in front of him and the murderer turns out to be my father. I don't know if I will ever forgive my father. I locked the door to my apartment before
