"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
“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

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
Raymond's heart flourished with joy when he heard that from Sarah. He engulfed her with a passionate hug, which tightened her breath. He pulled her back, looked intensely into his teary eyes, and felt the urge to promise her for accepting his proposal, because deep down, he knew love was finished in her heart because of the betrayal, and due to that, she would find it difficult to love him as he wanted, but he hoped that as they moved together she would learn to love and trust him.“It sucks my heart a lot that the bastard has betrayed your love and trust. I understand your desires for revenge, but don't forget that I will never let you down.”“I will love you, protect you, and do everything in my power to bring your enemies down for you to be happy again, I promise you, Sarah.” A warm air blushed Sarach's face as Raymond's words lifted a weight of pain from her heart. She felt relieved, protected, and trusted in his words. She glanced at his handsome face and uttered in a grind,“
