Sarah's gaze narrowed as Agatha and Collins occupied the empty chairs at their table. Their smiles, lingering on their faces, seemed to hide something, which made Sarah's hands clench into fists. She raised her eyebrows against them, and Agatha smiled at her with a wave, making Sarah's blood boil with anger.Raymond glared at Sarah, and he felt a knot in his heart when he noticed the rage circulating in Sarah's eyes. He returned his gaze to Collins and Agatha, who were mouthing words to each other, and asked, his voice sounding harsh,“Why are you here? We didn't invite you.”Instead of answering the question, Agatha looked at them with a malicious grin and poured bitterly, without averting her gaze from Sarah,“It seems you guys are uncomfortable with our presence, but we don't give a damn shit about it, because we haven't wronged you.”Sarah's veins bulged into her forehead when Agatha's words hit her like a physical blow. Raymond noticed the tension bubbling within Sarah, and he su
When they got inside the car, Collins turned to Agatha, whose gaze was fixed on him in eager anticipation. He said, his voice calm yet carrying an ominous weight that sent a chill down her spine and alleviated her pounding heart,“Raymond isn’t someone we can murder easily because of the strict security guards always surrounding him. We must use Sarah to trap him since his heart still beats for her.”Agatha’s brows furrowed as she absorbed his words, her breath quickening slightly. The thought of involving Sarah made her uneasy, but she nodded, trusting Collins. He continued, his tone darker,“We’ll kidnap Sarah and threaten Raymond that if he doesn’t bring a huge sum of money for her rescue, we’ll end her life instantly. This plan will drag him forward without hesitation, because I know how he acts crazy and reckless when Sarah is in need of help.”Agatha's lips parted slightly, and she clenched her fists on her lap, her emotions teetering between fear and admiration for Collins' cun
When they got inside the car, Sarah heaved a deep sigh. She placed her hand on Raymond's hand, which made him look into her eyes. With a pleasant smile, she uttered,“I can't wait to be your wedded wife.”Her words surged through Raymond's heart, filling him with happiness and making him beam at her. He averted his gaze to the rearview mirror, started the engine, and uttered without looking at Sarah,“I'm very proud of you for your bravery in the presence of your enemies.”Raymond expected Sarah to respond, but her silence flustered him, and his mind raced with worry.He glanced at her, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips when he saw she had fallen into a deep sleep, like a newborn baby.Within a couple of minutes, Raymond pulled into the parking lot of his mansion and turned off the engine. He exited the car and carried Sarah in a bridal style, making his workers and bodyguards stare at him unblinkingly as he ascended the stairs to his bedroom.When he entered, he gently l
“Open your filthy eyes, Sarah!” one guard shouted as he poured cold water from a plastic bottle on Sarah’s face, which made her gasp for air as the coldness consumed her. Sarah slowly opened her eyes, but her vision was blurred, and she felt severe headache pain due to the substance she inhaled. Sarah's sight became clear; she tried to rise to her feet, but her heart pounded with fear when she discovered her hands had been tied to her back on a chair the same as her legs. She struggled to unchain herself by rubbing her hands hard, but the chain was tighter around her hands, which cut her deeper due to the continued rubbing. She stopped when she felt excessive pain with blood oozing from his hand. Her gaze paced around, and she saw the quads in a facemask in an uncompleted building, while another guard in a mask was standing in her face with a devilish grin on his lips.“Stop acting childish, because you can't break out of the chains." The guard hissed with no emotion, which made h
Sarah shook his head in disagreement, which made the guards around laugh ecstasies, glaring at her. Tears drenched in Sarah's eyes. She glared at the commander, and pleaded while tears were cascading down her cheeks like heavy rainfall. “Please promise me you won't hurt him when he comes.”“I give you my word." The commander assured, and he placed a phone in Sarah's ear as the call was going through. ******Mirk rampaged into the conference room where the board were having a meeting, his heart hamming against his chest.When he entered, the board members glared at him worriedly as he was sweating under the air conditioning, and they wondered what kind of message he carried that was making him sweat like that.Raymond glared at him worriedly, and he asked, “What kind of insolent behaviour is hat?" What's the problem?, and why didn't you let us finish this meeting? "Sorry, sir, but it's an emergency and is about Sarah," Mirk uttered.Raymond felt his heart hit his chest when he hea
“Boss, the money is inside the car. What's the next move?” Mike asked, staring at Raymond with a worried expression. Raymond silently took the keys from the driver's hand and entered the car.Raymond lowered the louvers, glared at Mike worriedly, and said, his voice sounding hurt due to Sarah's absence,“I've already contacted the police, but I don't want them to come after me since the kidnappers want me to be there alone. I will text you when I reach there, but make sure you lead the police so they can gather at every corner of the kidnappers' address I will send you.”“Are you sure about that, Boss? What if they end up hurting you?” Mike portrayed, glaring at Raymond with concern evident in his eyes.“Don't worry, I will come back safe with Sarah. Make sure you do as I've instructed you,” Raymond clarified, which made Mike nod with an encouraging expression. Raymond started the engine, pulling away from their sight.When he got to the main road, he stepped on it, driving recklessly
Sarah felt a gallop in her heart when she stared at the commander, who carried a devilish smile as if he was about to fire Raymond, and she uttered, while her eyes weighed down with tears.“Please, spare his life and take mine instead. You promised me you wouldn't hurt him; please fulfil your promise and free us, because I can't live without him.Sarah's words pierced through Raymond's heart like a stab. He glared at her worriedly, and intended to untire her, but the commander made him stop with a malicious glare, and he said, making Raymond’s fist clench,“Try to free her, and I will blow your brains out with the bullets without a thought.”The guards around let out a sinister laugh when they noticed Raymond's darkened face. The commander shifted his gaze towards Sarah, who was sobbing beside Raymond, and he mockingly said, “We aren't here for you, bitch, so I can't fulfil your promise, but if you can't live without his presence, then I suggest you hang out with me, and continue fr
Sarah sat on a couch in front of the emergency room in a hospital. Her head was bent down on her lap while her heart was pounding hard with fear, and tears were falling down her cheeks like heavy rainfall.Raymond has been in the emergency room for five hours, and she hasn't heard anything from the doctor after the police rushed him to the nearby hospital for treatment. “Ma’am, please, you have to eat something, and you have to be strong because my brother can survive this operation.” Linda's comforting voice broke through Sarah's sobs as she raised her teary eyes to look at her worried face, and she whimpered while her heart was weighing down with pains.“How do you expect me to eat when Raymond is fighting for his life inside without any news about his health? Everything's my fault, because if I hadn't called for him, none of this would have happened to him. I've regretted calling him, and if something happened to him, I won't be able to forgive myself, because Raymond is my worl
“Why don't you ask him instead and stop glaring at me as if I'm a beast?” Lucy poured out angrily as she glared at Sarah, who was looking at her unblinkingly. Sarah averted her eyes from her and shifted them on Raymond, who was stunned, sitting on a chair while his hand was on his cheeks. Sarah walked to him with a worried expression because she couldn't understand why Raymond's mood had changed all of a sudden, and she wondered what kind of conversation they had that had silenced him. When she reached Raymond's side, she glanced at him and uttered with a soft tone, “What's wrong, honey? Why aren't you talking to me? Are you alright?”Lucy rolled her eyes in annoyance when she heard Sarah's soft voice, and she let out a devilish grin, which made Sarah catch her glimpse. Raymond glared at Sarah's worried face, and she wondered how she would react when he told her that he had impregnated Lucy and it was an accident because he didn't mean it to happen. He ran his hand into his hair
Flashback… “I'm so tired and angry at myself for crying for Sarah's returned, but I don't know why I can't get her out of my head I wish I can do that because she won't come back even I cry my eyes out” Raymond whimpered as he gulped the 6th bottle of alcohol. He was intoxicated to the extent that he didn't notice he was laying down in his bedroom with pants only. He heard a knock on the door and a smile appeared at the corner of his cheeks. He thought it was Sarah so he tried to open his eyes but he couldn't see properly due to the substance in the alcohol which made his vision blurry. The person knocked again and this time Raymond tried to get up with all his might thinking that Sarah would be upset if she stayed there long Knocking. He struggled on the floor searching for something to hold on to so that he could get up. He crawled to the bed and held onto it and successfully he was able to pull himself onto his feet, but he was pacing back and forth and couldn't keep his bal
So when do you want us to wait before you allow us to check on my nephew?” Mr. Tyson uttered, glaring at the doctor with disguise, who remained standing at the doorway. “Let's wait for some time and abide by Raymond's words.” The doctor replied with a smile when he noticed the anger in Mr. Tyson's eyes. “No, I suggest you should allow us to get in and check up on him because we have already accused Sarah as the culprit. What if she is doing something bad to him? Lucy voice intervened. “Yes, we are going in to check up on him, and we will take no for an answer,” Mr. Tyson roared as the anger consumed him. The doctor stepped aside when he noticed Mr. Tyson's reddened eyes pop up, and he stepped aside, providing a way for them. Mr. Tyson barged inside with Lucy beside him. When they reached in, their eyes widened in present surprise as Sarah was buried inside Raymond’s chest in a passionate hug. They were in a state that they didn't even notice Mr. Tyson's presence in the r
“Shut your filthy mouth, and wipe off your pending tears. gold digger. I wasn't the one who made this audio because it's trending in the media, and that's where I downloaded it from,” Lucy poured bitterly at Sarah, and she glared at her, who was staring at her back with disgust. Linda glared at Sarah, who was breathing in harder as fury was written over her face, and she signalled her to calm down. She knew the voice in the audio had been framed by Sarah's enemies because she received a call from Mr. Johnson, who complained to her about Collins's intention with his family. She wanted to review it with the media and have them arrested, but she intended to wait until Raymond woke up and even intended to tell Sarah, but she forgot when she saw her in sorrows. Mr. Tyson's face darkened as he noticed Linda was consoling Sarah, who was sobbing in her arms, and he felt anger clawing at him that why was Linda still at Sarah's side when he just revealed to her that Sarah conspired with the
