Mr. Lawson wiped off a stain from his mouth with a tissue after finishing the food. He caught a glimpse of Raymond who was glaring at him with a predatory look, and he gave him a taunt smile which made Raymond avert his eyes from him.He knew his actions were getting on Raymond's nerves, and if he didn't start talking Raymond would barked at him soon. “Hope you are done?” Mr. Lawson uttered, as he glared at Mr. Maxwell in anticipation. “Yes, we can talk now” Maxwell replied and Raymond stared at them in a way which tells that he is waiting for them to speak. Mr. Lawson caught the signal in Raymond's piercing eyes, and he began, pulling out a document from his suitcase. “We have already arranged everything with Collins, and his finance relating to what we are offering them. We did a deep investigation about their company, and we discovered that they desire to expose their company to different countries, but haven't gotten investors to partner with them. We also discovered that t
“Uncle, I don't want to sound harsh on you, but Lucy cannot stay with us. I don't want any misunderstanding in this house because I know she is troublesome.She can't stay here, and that's my final decision as the owner of the house,” Raymond poured with reddened eyes towards Mr. Tyson, who was looking at him unblinkingly.Mr. Tyson's veins bulged on his neck as he felt ashamed of how Raymond spoke to him in the presence of the ladies. He abhorred it when people talked back at him and tried to turn him down.“I don't care about your decisions because you don't know the consequences of them. You are blinded by unfaithful love, so you don't care about your reputation. You don't care about the family reputation, including the companies.How would people think if they discovered that you are not living with the woman you impregnated but are hanging around with a different woman?” Mr.Tyson poured.“I don't care about people's opinions about my personal life. I don't care how they judge me
“Go inside and undress because you are not getting married to this useless man—get that into your head, Sarah!”Mr. Richard shouted at Sarah, who was descending the stairs, clad in a whitish wedding gown like the shy with a bright smile on her face.Sarah's expression darkened. She stared at her family in the living room and saw her stepmom, Mrs. Hannah, and stepsister, Agatha, smirking, while her dad, Mr. Richard, glared at her with disdain.She heaved a deep sigh and replied calmly,“I am not a child anymore, Dad; I'm old enough to make decisions for myself ”“Collins is the man my heart beats for, and today is the day we are supposed to receive your blessings on our wedding” “Dad, accept this marriage for once, because I'm not changing my mind on my wedding day.”Mr. Richard's eyes reddened with fury when he heard that from Sarah. He gazed at her and ranted,“Never! There is no way I will allow you to marry this poor man, not today or ever. You deserve better than this, Sarah!”“M
"No, Dad, please don't cause a scene here because we are already married, and you can't do anything about it," Sarah pleaded, sobbing as she saw her father ordering the journalists to take pictures and video everything in the church hall.She knew that a wealthy businessman like Mr. Richard could ruin everything in a second, so she was terrified."Shut up!" Mr. Richard barked at Sarah, causing the guests to flinch and gaze at him unblinkingly.With anger in his eyes, Mr. Richard glared at Sarah, who was holding Collins' hand, and he ranted through gritted teeth, "I'm very ashamed of you, Sarah. I gave you everything a responsible father would.""I gave you my name, security, invested much into your education, and trusted you.""You never lacked anything in your world, and what did I gain in return? You abandoned our family and disobeyed me because of this pauper.""Such a disgraceful and ungrateful daughter!" a voice echoed from the guests."Yes, she doesn't deserve to remain part of
What is it, Mother? I can't bear to see you in tears while doing nothing. Please explain to us," Collins pleaded worriedly, as he grabbed her right hand."Mum, let us know what the situation is, because tears won't solve the problem," Sarah added, noticing the tears streaming down Mrs. Ruth's cheeks.Mrs. Ruth nodded and sniffled quietly, seeing their worried faces. She wiped her tears with the cloth Spendy handed her and lamented sadly, "The jewelry shop our family depends on financially has burned to the ground. Nothing is left; everything is gone.""What? Everything burned to dust just like that, with no information about the culprit?" Collins exclaimed, causing Sarah and Spendy's mouths to drop in shock."This is strange, Mum, because I might know who did it," Spendy retorted, drawing their curious gazes toward her. Seeing their faces full of anticipation, she explained, "I just got fired from my workplace. I called a colleague for an explanation, and she told me Mr. Richard had
It was a blighted morning in Richard’s Mansion. Mr. Richard stood in front of his wardrobe's mirror as he clad in blue suit He barged from his bedroom to the living room feeling enraged, and when he reached. His workers lavished him with greetings. “Good morning, Boss”He curtly nodded, and the workers glanced at him unblinkly as he moved past them without even a glare.Mrs. Hannah embraced him with a pleasant smile when she noticed the weird look he carried and she retorted worriedly,“What's eating you up, honey”“Nothing” Mr. Richard replied almost immediately, and he intended to bypassed her, but his wife held his right hand which made him fixed his gaze on her, and he retorted coldly,“What do you want?”“I want you to make Agatha the CEO of your companies as you intended to do for Sarah, and stop giving us attitude because we aren't the one who betrayed you. it was your so-called beloved daughter, Sarah in case you had forgotten” Mrs. Hannah replied in a higher tone.Mr Richard
“You were my biggest problem, Sarah. Dad always underestimated me when he compared me to you. I tried my best for him to notice me just once, but he was always after you.”“In our first year in college, Dad was already hoping you would become his heir when you graduated. He had plans for you and left me with nothing. It hurt.”“I explained everything to Collins, including my plan to take you down and take over Dad's properties. He understood me because he loved me and cared about my happiness.”Sarah felt Agatha's words pierce her heart like needles, but she suppressed the pain and maintained a strong front.She glanced at Collins with tear-filled eyes and saw him smirking at her. Agatha continued, “I conspired with Collins and told him to do everything he could to win your heart. I knew you too well, Sarah. Once you fell in love, you’d sacrifice everything for it.”“My heart raced with joy when he told me you were madly in love with him. That’s when I sped up my plans. I told him to
"That’s what's tormenting my mind. I feel helpless now. I have no one to turn to. I don’t have a job. They took everything from me and ruined my life. I just feel like ending it all," Sarah muttered through her tears.Rita looked at her, sensing the deep pain reflected in her tear-filled eyes. She sat beside Sarah and consoled her, "I know you're hurting, but you need to pull yourself together. We will make them pay for what they've done; it’s just a matter of time and planning.""And about the job—my friend resigned from being a waitress at First Class Restaurant. I’ll talk to the manager tomorrow and see if he can hire you."Hearing that, Sarah wiped her eyes and pulled Rita into a tight hug, expressing her gratitude. Rita smiled warmly and whispered, "It's nothing."After a while, Sarah glanced at the wall clock and noticed it was already past 9 p.m. She felt drained from the toxic day. She rose and walked to Rita's bedroom without saying another word. Rita didn’t take it persona

Mr. Lawson caught the signal in Raymond's piercing eyes, and he began, pulling out a document from his suitcase. “We have already arranged everything with Collins, and his finance relating to what we are offering them.

Raymond stole a glance at Sarah at the dining table as she was sitting quietly. She had the cutlery between her hands, and was playing with it on the food in front of her. From the look on her face she was lost in a deep thought which made Raymond's heart raise with worries, and he wondered what Sarah was thinking about.Raymond had stared at her for a long period of time since he joined her on the table, but she hadn't spoken to him or taken in some bite of the food she prepared for him. Raymond felt a bitter taste in his mouth looking at Sarah who was moody from the worry look in her eyes, and he dropped the cutlery on the table.“Honey!” Raymond called her with a soft voice, expecting a response from Sarah, but she didn't even short him a glare, as she continued playing with the cutlery in her hand. Raymond rolled his eyes in frustration as he felt his heart twisted painful on his chest, because of Sarah's condition. He promised Sarah that he would never hurt her or make her cr
Lucy stepped out from her car and she glared around Mr. Tyson's mansion for a while. A devil's smile appeared on her mouth as she recalled her reasons why she had visit Mr. Tyson in the morning.She had already thought about how she would convince Mr. Tyson so that he would make her stay with Raymond with their child.Lucy knew Mr. Tyson trusted, and loved her because of what she did for Raymond when he was down with pains. Lucy intended to take advantage of that, and act sadly at his presence that if Raymond doesn't marry her now that she is carrying his child then, she will cause suicide, because she can't raise the child alone. Lucy adjusted her beautiful face to grimace, and her eyes directed to the door which led to the hall.When she stepped inside, her eyes caught sight of Mr. Tyson whom was sitting on the couch and his face was buried into a newspaper.Lucy barged to him, and when Mr. Tyson raised his head, and met the worry look in her eyes his heart skipped a beat as he wo
“Raymond, Raymond”… Sarah whispered to Raymond's ears, who was sleeping soundly. She called for him again, but Raymond didn't respond and kept on snoring like an artist bird. Sarah caught a glimpse of the wall clock, and her face narrowed with worries as she noticed it had left with thirty minutes to clock 9:00 am. The doctor assured her that Raymond should take his medicine and it shouldn't pass a minute. She barged to the bed with intentions to pinch Raymond for him to wake up, but she stopped when she saw Raymond blinked his eyes. Sarah squinted her eyes on him as she thought she would wake up soon, but Raymond turned to the other side of the bed, and showed no signs of waking up.Sarah rolled her eyes in annoyance as she felt Raymond's behavior disgusted, because she knew he had already woken, but he was playing along with her.A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth when an idea hitted her mind that she should grab some cold water, and drop a little on him. She kn
Raymond knocked on the door hardly when he heard Sarah’s muffling sobs, but Sarah didn’t border to open when she heard the noise, and kept on sobbing. Raymond couldn’t contain the pains in his heart hearing Sarah’s sobs, he never knew Sarah could cry to that extent, and hearing her hurting because of him made his heart wrench. He intentionally laid down on the floor and whimpered in pain, “I’m bleeding, somebody should help me. I’m bleeding”Inside the room, Sarah's heart skipped a beat when she heard Raymond pretentious tears. She ripped the tears off soaked in her eyes, and hurriedly went, and unlocked the door to check up on Raymond. Meanwhile, Raymond was hiding beside the door so immediately the door cracked open, and Sarah rushed out. Raymond grabbed her from the back, pulled her to bone tightly, and he whispered to her ears, while running her hand into her hairs to comfort her, “I’m sorry for your cost of tears. I didn’t mean to cause you that pain but what happened wasn’t
CHAPTER 32A maid brought three bottles of champagne to the hall where Collins, Agatha and Mrs. Hannah were happily sited. They were about to throw a celebration. They thought their plans had successfully worked by killing Raymond; so they were happy to celebrate that Sarah won’t stand the chance to fight against them anymore now that her pillar is dead. “Please ma’am, I’m here with the champagne” The maid said, looking at Mrs. Hannah who smiled politely at her. “Put it down and call, and for the workers to join us in this celebration, everyone in this house needs to be happy for our big breakthrough” Mrs. Hannah uttered with a grin. The maid's eyes widened in surprise and shook when she heard Mrs. Hannah. She couldn’t couldn’t believe her eyes that her heartless madam was inviting them for a party. She wondered what the good news could be, and hoped that their salaries would increase after this celebration. “Okay ma'am. I will call everyone to join immediately” The maid replied c
Raymond ran his hand through his hair in frustration as he paced back and forth. He was wondering how he could explain things to Sarah that what she heard was an accident. He didn't even know until Lucy just told her. He knew Sarah was going through a lot because of her enemies, and they had been planning to strike them down, but what has happened might change Sarah's mind from focusing on her enemies and even erase the feelings she had developed for him. She would even compare him to Collins because he had also betrayed her when she trusted him the most.Raymond felt a blade twisting her heart as that thought hit his mind. He recalled the situation he went through when waiting for Sarah, and when nature brought her to him, he had ruined everything by his mistake. He looked down, and he felt his heart was pounding with heartbreak because he knew he wouldn't survive when Sarah ignored him. He knew his life would mess up for him when Sarah stopped loving him. He gritted his fist and
“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
