The driver turned off the engine at the parking lot and proceeded to open the door for Sarah to come out. Sarah grinds at him and steps down. She caught a glimpse around the mansion, and her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing how edifice and lavishly the mansion looked. Numerous cars had been arranged beautifully at the lots, and there were bodyguards pacing around, ensuring safety and providing security.She has been into numerous mansions with her dad, but none of them are near the one she was in when compared. A creepy smile escaped her lips when she thought of the sudden changes in her life. Days ago, she had thrown on the street without any hopes, but now, here she was, standing in a luxury and safe home. She turned to Benjamin with a pleasant smile and asked,“Why are a lot of bodyguards here?”“Our boss assigned them today for your protection, Mam,” Benjamin replied respectfully."This is unbelievable; Ray cares so much about me,” Sarah mouthed, and she felt her heart mel
"Sorry, Boss, but they are already seated, waiting for you,” Mike replied at the other end. “Well, I'm the boss; they won't die waiting for my presence." Raymond retorted, his voice sounding hash. He cut the line and heaved a deep sigh to calm his nerves.He glanced at Sarah, who was staring at him with a mockery smile, and when he was about to talk... Sarah planted a passionate kiss on her lips, making his heart race with joy. “Are you okay? Now, Boss, because I've given you what you wanted." Sarah mockery uttered, staring at Ray, whose eyes were widened in surprise.Raymond grinned, feeling warmth in his chest, and he said, “I'm blessed to have you, sweetheart. Let's go to the company because I'm making you the new marketing manager.”“Thanks for your trust in me,” Sarah appreciated, her heart racing with joy. After the long drive, they reached the company. As they entered the sleek, modern office, Sarah felt a surge of excitement. It was a world she had always dreamed of—a wor
The sunrays cast a slight glow on Sarah. She rotated her body and faced Raymond on the bed with her eyes still closed. She gave out a slight yawn, covering her mouth as the sunrays pricked her eyes.Raymond smiled, staring at her pinky lips, as his face was close to her on the bed. He kissed her forehead softly and whispered to her face, while Sarah hadn't opened her eyes, but he knew he was awake.“Good morning, honey.”Sarah grinds as Richmond's words surged through her veins with a wave of happiness and protectiveness. She opened her eyes and felt her breath taken away when she saw her reflection in Richmond's eyes, as he was staring at her in a way that made her lose her consciousness. Raymond placed a finger on Sarah’s lips when she intended to voice out and kissed her passionately, making Sarah's instinct craved for more because she felt a warmth in her heart—something she never experienced from Collins' kiss. Unlocking their mouths from the kiss, Sarah grinds over the lovabl
[ Hey—homeless sis, I just found a letter your ugly mom wrote before we cut her life like a rotten cloth. She said much about you, expressed how much she adores you, and even intended to give you all her properties, but I'm happy that she couldn't make it because they are all mine now, and thanks to Collins for sending her to the cemetery, where she belong]After reading through, Sarah wiped her tears, heaved a deep sigh to calm her pounding heart, and whispered under her breath, “I would get rid of them soon.” But she flinched when her phone buzzed with an incoming call in her hand. She answered, noticing it was Linda.“Good morning. Madam, please, how are you doing?” Linda asked, recalling how sadly she was last night. “Feeling much better now. How about you?” Sarah uttered, concern evident in her voice.“Good mam, I'm downstairs at the moment. We have a meeting this morning with the investigator you told me to hire, and will proceed with the board meeting in the afternoon.”“Okay,
Sarah’s words sent shivers into Collins’ spine, making his heart fly high with fear. He couldn't believe the lady in front of him because the Sarah he knew was a crybaby who couldn't even stand for herself in public without his help. So he wandered where she got the courage to threaten them for revenge, and due to her actions, he became curious to discover the person offering her help. “You are just hallucinating, bitch! Because we won't watch you tear us apart as easily as you think.”“If you also think that way, then why are your faces worried?” Sarah poured smugly, making them exchange uneasy glances, and she continued, staring at them devilishly.“It's evident in your eyes that your instincts are shivering in fear. Maybe it might be that you are afraid of the consequences of your actions.” “Don't ever let it cross your mind that we are afraid of you, because you knew whom we are and how far we can go when you irritate us,” Mrs. Ruth poured bitterly.Sarah feigned a smile with a
Sarah’s heels clicked sharply against the marble floor when they reached the corridor, which leads to the direction to her office upstairs. The workers in the corridor gazed at Sarah with beautiful smiles on their lips, and lavished her with greetings when they noticed her presence with Linda, heading towards the elevator. Sarah grinded and waved her hand in response to their greetings. They stopped in the midst of the people who were waiting for the elevator to descend down.“This lady is our new marketing manager, and Mr. Raymond's fiancé. Aren't they suitable?" A woman whispered in conversation with her colleagues. They were grouped, a few distances from where Sarah and Linda were standing.“No, they aren't suitable for me, because Lady Lucy is more beautiful and sexy to suit our CEO in public. I wonder what would happen when she finds out that another woman is trying to steal her place in Raymond's life, because we all know how tough she is,” another replied with a laugh.“Well
Sarch’s voice echoed in Linda's ears, making her heartache. She stared at her intensively and noticed the pains evident in her watery eyes and swollen mouth. She wondered what Sarah had been through, which is causing her such pains, and why it seemed she was striving for revenge because it worries her seeing her sister-in-law in pain and doing nothing about it. She wanted to ask about the reasons behind the incident that happened in the boutique and the reason why she told her to hire a private investigator, but she thought Sarah doesn't trust her much; that's why she hasn't opened up to her since they met. “Why are you silent?” Sarach's voice breaks, snapping Linda out of thought. Linda heaved a sigh. She looked at Sarah, who was standing beside her office table, taping her finger on it rapidly, and her gaze was still fixed on her in anticipation.“Raymond is my bloody brother, not his worker; I kept it a secret from you because I thought he had already told you. You never border
A muscular, well-filled, middle-aged man, dressed in a black suit, with brown hair, chocolate eyes, and fair skin, walked confidently into the office. He glanced at them and greeted with a pleasant smile lingering on his face.“Good morning.”“Morning,” Sarah responded with a grin, glancing at the man who remained standing in front of the office desk, stealing glances around.“You may have a seat, Mr. Johnson,” Linda's voice echoed in Mr. Johnson’s ears. He smiled, and Linda directed him to sit on a chair facing Sarah.Mr. Johnson sat down and felt Sarah’s gaze on him intently. His mind raced with worries, and he wondered why Sarah was staring at him without blinking, instead of telling him why she needed him.“I will excuse myself so that you can discuss everything, madam,” Linda said, thinking that her presence was the reason Sarah hadn't spoken.“No, you can join us because you are family now,” Sarah's voice made Linda stop at the doorway. She turned to look at Sarah with a grin an
The night disappeared like a speeding train. Sarah waited for Raymond the whole night, but he didn't come, so she slept over and left the door unlocked.Sarah gasped awake to turn off the ringing alarm that echoed in her ears from the edge of the bed.She blinked several times, rubbed her eyes, and a yawn escaped from her lips as she stretched her body.She turned around, and her eyes widened in pleasant surprise as she saw Raymond sleeping soundly like a baby.Raymond held onto Sarah’s nightgown in his sleep, and Sarah grinned when she saw that.She gently removed her gown from Raymond's arms, intending to head to the bathroom without waking him up.Meanwhile, Raymond felt it when the gown slipped through his fingers, but he didn't open his eyes, pretending to still be asleep.He grinned when he noticed Sarah’s intention of sneaking away from him quietly.Just as Sarah was about to step down from the bed, Raymond grabbed her from behind, making her flinch. She fell into Raymond’s arm
“You are only considered to be in this house because of the child you're carrying for Raymond.I don't even think that the pregnancy you claim is for Raymond is true or not, so don't even think of calling yourself a mistress in this house. Raymond saw you, but he chose me to be his queen, and I deserve that position from him, but not a greedy lady like you,” Sarah exclaimed with a mocking grin as she looked at Lucy, who was filled with anger.Lucy’s heart twisted painfully in her chest, making her look at Sarah with reddened eyes as she felt her heart racing.She stepped closer to Sarah, gripped onto her cloth, and ranted,“I will deal with you today, you bastard.”“Let go of me. Leave me alone,” Sarah sputtered while trying hard to shove Lucy’s hands from her cloth, but Lucy’s grip was firm, and she was shaking Sarah with all her might, wanting to grab Sarah’s hair, but Sarah was defending herself.Their voices grew louder in the hall, catching the workers' and Raymond’s attention.T
Sarah pulled over at the parking lounge of Raymond’s mansion. Her eyes were dry from the drenched tears.She felt she had cried enough already and needed to accept the problems that had erupted in her relationship. She had to look forward and take her enemies down.“Linda has promised to uncover Lucy’s true colors, so I must be strong for myself because I have a lot to focus on—the company and reclaiming my properties,” Sarah uttered with determination in her eyes. She heaved a deep sigh to calm her nerves and accept her fate.She stepped down from the car and threw the keys to the driver standing at the lounge. The driver greeted her with an excited grin, exposing his white teeth, and Sarah responded with a wave as she passed by him, heading toward the door leading to the hall.Sarah intended to leave the house and live with Linda because of Lucy. She presumed Lucy would be troublesome and wasn’t ready to tolerate her nonsense.Sarah had deliberated on it with Linda, but Linda sugges
Collins grabbed his phone as he sat comfortably on the seat with a jovial expression. He was happy that he had completed the contract with the clients and that things would move according to his plans.The company will get huge exposure in multiple countries, and that will multiply our income, making me successful.“I have reached a milestone by securing foreign investors, but I still have my biggest dream to achieve.The huge one I’ve been aiming for. I must find a way to convince Agatha as soon as possible.She must hand over everything to me because I'm the man who can protect the properties. And if that happens, that will be the end of the journey for them,” Collins mouthed with determination in his eyes as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.He pulled out his phone from his pocket and intended to call Agatha to update her on their contract.He dialed her number, and the line indicated it was going through.“Hello, honey,” Agatha said in a soft voice.“Hi, honey, I ha
Sarah pulled over at Linda's apartment. Her heart was weighed down with the pain of heartbreak, and she had been crying her eyes out.The idea of leaving Raymond for Lucy and the problems arising in their relationship felt like a stab in her heart.She gripped the steering wheel, lowered her head onto it as tears cascaded down her cheeks, and whimpered in sobs."Why do I always get hurt when it comes to love? Why can't I find true love? What have I done to nature? Nature is being unfair to me."Meanwhile, Linda was awakened. She walked to the glass window and rolled over the curtains blocking the sunrays, but her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed Sarah’s car parked in front of her apartment.She squinted through the glass to see if she could spot Sarah, but a twinge of pain pricked her heart when she saw Sarah with her head lowered onto the wheel. From the distant view, Linda discovered Sarah was weeping due to the quivering of her body.Consumed with worry, she hurried outsid
Collins paced back and forth in his office with a worried expression on his face.He had been swamped with worries and fear of Raymond and Sarah’s intentions to avenge them and take over the properties from them.The properties were his priority and the main motive for being in Agatha's life because he had committed crimes that could send him to jail. He had invested his life into the properties, so he didn't want them to reclaim them until his plans for the properties were secured.Collins intended to transfer the properties into his name so that he could sell half of them and disappear from the country. He knew Agatha wasn't the rightful heir to the properties, and the truth could come out at any time, or they could dump him if he didn't think outside the box and get his share.He had consulted Agatha about his plans and intended to convince her to transfer the properties to him so he could manage them properly. But Agatha refused, telling him not to act greedy because her mother di
“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
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
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
