CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIXSALLYI felt my life slipping away from me. All I saw was darkness. I felt like I was floating. I couldn't open my eyes even though I wanted to..I could hear people running around, even though the sounds echoed. I could hear the machine beeping very loudly. I heard the doctor asking the nurses to chathe the defibrillator. I could feel it on my chest severally. I wanted to just rest. I wished that they would stop trying to revive me and let me be. I could feel my floating body moving up and down without my consent.I thought I was going to die, but the doctors and Alex were not ready to give up on me. They kept trying until I opened my eyes. Alex gasped when he noticed that I opened my eyes. Everything stopped, and everyone stopped moving."Sally," Alex whispered under his breath before rushing towards me. He hugged me tightly and whimpered. There was a celebration in the room. My parents rushed in with Jessica and Diana when they heard the celebrat

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN SALLYSEVEN YEARS LATER I walked around the kitchen as the maid prepared the banquet for dinner. While I was supervising the dinner, I could hear my kids laughing and playing in the sitting room.Alex had already left the house a while ago. He gad gone to pick his father up from the prison. We were glad that they had to reduce the term he was supposed to serve in prison, seeing that he was good during his stay. I was excited that we would no longer have to frequent the prison with my kids just to say hello to their grandpa."Mom!" Lucy cried as she rushed into the kitchen. "Lucas hit my eyes."I patted her head and whispered, "Sorry," to her.She ran off, feeling excited about the fact that I apologised on behalf of her twin brother. I didn't meddle in their fights. I just apologised on behalf of the other person, and it was okay.I knew that Lucy was more troublesome, but I would never take sides. I didn't want any of them to feel that I loved t

CHAPTER ONESALLY"You can't keep that look on. Otherwise, people would think we are selling our daughter off."I scoffed and rolled my eyes inwardly before forcing out a smile. I dared not do that for everyone to see.I wasn't exactly annoyed about the whole matchmaking. I was supposed to be upset, angry, and all. But, I was calm. I had mixed feelings and wasn't sure how to feel about this wedding. It was still like a dream to me. I was over the moon two weeks ago when my parents told me after returning from the office that I would be getting married to his friend's son, Alexander. I couldn't deny the fact that I had a little crush on him for a while now, after the family date we had five years ago.He was cute. He had the perfect height. He was so calm and peaceful. But I never knew that I was only being sold off to a billionaire's son, so my dad's company wouldn't be ruined until I saw the contract.A business partner eloped with the company's income, and my dad was scared that

CHAPTER TWOSALLYI immediately grew weak in the knees. For a second, I couldn't even move. I only stared at his car as it disappeared into thin air. When I turned around, I saw everyone's eyes on me. I was more embarrassed than humiliated. I forced out a smile, and it came out weak. "Hey," I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Beverly with a smile. I wanted to hug her so tightly and cry into her arms, but I stopped myself from doing so. "Are you okay?" She asked with a furrowed brow. I nodded and forced another smile. She patted my chin and stared all over me. "Are you sure?" She asked. Beverly's palms were sweaty and she avoided eye contact with me like a plague. I heard my mother's footsteps and she soon joined us."Where have you two been?" She asked, a worried expression all over her face. We both exchanged glances before Beverly replied to her. "She missed me and came to look for me.""Where is Alexander?" She asked, facing me and ignoring Beverly compl

CHAPTER THREEALEXANDER I heaved a sigh of relief as I sank into my bed. The long day was finally over, and I was here again in the comfort of my room. Although, the day was not over. But, since I left... it was over for me. I would just sleep and forget that I ever got married. I had barely closed my eyes when my phone began to vibrate. I sat up and grabbed my phone. I picked up the call and placed the cell phone close to my ear as I rubbed my eyes. "Hello," I called out. I didn't check who the caller was earlier. "Alex!" My father's voice sounded like thunder, and my eyes cleared immediately.I adjusted on my bed and said nothing as I waited for him to continue ranting. "You always have reasons to embarrass me, Alex," he blamed me. "Why was your bride with James on your wedding day? Why did you leave and make her feel lonely?"My heart sank. I already knew this was going to happen. I was not bothered about why I was being blamed for my wife's mistake, too. I was already use

CHAPTER FOURSALLY"Let go of me!" I shouted as I pushed him away.Although, I had waited to enjoy the kiss for about thirty seconds. His lips were soft and addictive. I bit my lower lip with my eyes tightly shut as I reminisced on Alex's kiss. The short kiss during the wedding didn't count because neither of us paid attention to it. I didn't even note what it tasted like. It was short and quick. But, the kiss in my room, there was something about it that I could not understand. A knock on my door jerked me out of my thoughts. The door opened lightly and my secretary walked into my office. "Greetings, ma'am," she greeted me as she bowed her head in front of me. "You are late again?""No, ma'am," she responded. "Mr James is here to see you."I narrowed my eyes. I wasn't expecting any Mr James. "He said he doesn't have an appointment, but the reason he's asking to see you is urgent.""Bring him in," I ordered. She left and returned with a nicely dressed huge figure. He lifted hi

CHAPTER FIVE Alex held his phone tightly in his hands without making any attempt to pick it up until it stopped ringing. I thought that he was just being childish and ridiculous, shook my head, and walked away. My phone began to vibrate. It was James. My heart sank again, but I smiled. It was pay back time. I picked up the call and placed the phone beside my ear and turned towards the chair to see if Alex could see me. I gasped when I didn't see him there. Rather, I felt him behind me. "You just got married, and you are sleeping around already. Why didn't you save your father's business that way?"I hurried away from him. "Thanks for flashing me, miss world," James teased me, and I blushed. I turned around and saw Alex seated on his spot again. "It's my pleasure," I replied loudly, making the smile even more broad. "I wanted to make sure you got home safely. ""Of course, I did get home safely," I increased my tone. "Thank you so much for checking up on me."Alex rolled his

CHAPTER SIX~ALEXANDER~"I panicked when I saw James's number. Especially when he called her after. I was grateful that he didn't mention the fact that he wasn't the one who called me."Damien was already laughing so hard by the time I finished my story. "I guess she didn't ask why he called you," Damien replied. I nodded and continued eating my lunch. I perceived a strong perfume that I was already familiar with and lifted my head to see Sally walking in with elegance. I tried signalling her by winking at her so she would eat with me. I knew this was the only restaurant she would have lunch, and I wanted people to see that I was close to my wife. She didn't even turn towards my direction. She broke into a smile, and I traced her eyes to see that she was smiling at James. I tightened my grip on my spoon when she settled with him instead. I gulped, trying to hide my anger. "Are you okay?" Damien asked, staring at me with a furrowed brow. "Sally is with James," I told him."It'

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVEALEXANDER Before we got to the hospital with the ambulance carrying Sally, I already called her parents and told them to be on their way there. I had to hold Jessica throughout the journey because she was having a panic attack. She kept asking me if her sister would die. I didn't know how else to assure her that Sally would be fine. I was also hoping, just like her. I didn't have any supernatural powers.We got to the hospital, and while she was being transferred to the bed, her parents drove in. Her mom alighted from the car before it even stopped and rushed towards us. Her heart was racing as she approached us. "My daughter," she cried out in pain. She held Sally and began to cry and call out Sally's name. She was pulled away from Sally by the nurses, and they wheeled Sally into the ward where surgery would be conducted on her.Jessica hugged her parents tightly. "Thanl goodness, you are safe," Mrs Anderson said as she turned her daughter arou

She only shut her eyes tightly with her fist clenched. "This is not a toy, Sally," Beverly warned.She intentionally shot at the wall to make Sally see that they weren't joking about killing Jessica if she didn't sign the papers. "One," Beverly counted. Sally was already shaken. She remembered how she felt after hearing the gunshot. When she thought that Beverly killed her sister for real. Her hands were shaking.She knew what Beverly could do, and she could not afford to lose her sister. She knew that she would end up signing the papers even after they killed her sister."Let me have the papers," she requested. James handed the papers to her, and she quickly placed her signature in every single place that it requested.James collected the papers from her. He had a triumphant smile on his fac

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREEALEXANDER I was panicking, but I stayed calm until we got to the office. I told Clinton what was going on, and he advised that I tried calling Sally again, which I quickly did, but I could not reach her..I became alarmed. I kept calling going Sally's number. Sometimes, it rang, other time, it didn't. I kept trying to reach Sally even though it was getting frustrating. When I called again, it was switched off. This made me stand up to my feet. "Calm down, Alex," Clinton advised me. I could not think straight. I logged into the app and tried to track Sally's phone again, but it got disconnected. I could no longer track her, and it was because her phone was switched off. "Let me have your phone," I asked Clinton. "Of course," he replied as he dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out his phone. He handed his phone over to me. I took it from Clinton and dialled Sally's number. It was still switched off. My head began to spin.I had a bad

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO SALLYI tried to steady my thoughts as I drove to the location on the map Beverly forwarded to me. I was sure that I didn't leave any traces, and I was certain that no one followed me down to this place.As I drove, I could feel my hands shaking terribly. A lot ran through my head at the same time. I finally got to the location. I parked my car outside the building, and alighted from the car..I called Beverly to inform her that I was at the location. After a while, she arrived with two men. I opened the car boot for them to get the money. They pulled the bag out of the car and dropped it on the floor. They opened the zip and quickly searched through it."It's intact," one of them to Beverly. "We can't trust this woman," Beverly told them. "We have to count the money first.""Where's she?" I asked Beverly. "We would only release her to you after counting the money and making sure that it is complete."I didn't want to go in with them, but my sister

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONEALEXANDER I found it difficult to sleep. I had walled in on Sally when she was demanding money from her mom. I knew that she cried the moment I walked in and saw her eyes. Even though Sally kept insisting that she was fine until she slept off, I knew that she was not fine. She was only saying so to get me off her back. I tried to go through her phone, but it seemed like she had deleted her recent calls. The only call I saw was that of her mom and other unimportant calls. I walked back to the bag lying on the floor of our room. I opened the bag and stared into it for a while. I hoped that all was well. I returned to the bed and kept rolling there. I didn't even notice when I slept off.The next morning, I felt someone shaking me tenderly. I opened my eyes slowly, and I rubbed them with both hands. When I opened my eyes widely, I saw Sally seated in front of me. She was smiling, but I could tell that the smile was a fake smile."Morning, love," she

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BEVERLYI was excited when my driver walked into the small house with Jessica. I didn't believe my eyes at first. How would I have known that it would be so easy to get Jessica."Hard nut to crack," I teased her as I touched her chin.She whimpered fearfully."Was this the reason you came to my school the other day pretending to be nice?" She asked me.I was just smiling at her as I touched her chin. She slapped my hands off."Hold her!" I ordered the driver who had brought her in. He held her hands tightly, and she struggled with him. "Let go of me!" She commanded with so much authority.I grabbed her chin and squeezed her face.She whimpered as she struggled to free herself from my grip, but I wouldn't let her go. "Who do you think you are to think that you can behave whichever way that pleases you?"She spat on my face immediately after I freed her from my grip. My eyes and mouth opened widely."I knew that a prostitute like you should not be trust

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY NINESALLYI walked out of the meeting room and went straight to my office. immediately when I sat down, my phone began to ring. I stared at the screen and saw that it was Jessica who was calling me. I smiled because I had missed her. I wondered what she had to say this time.Nevertheless, I picked up the call. "Hello, Jessi," I called out, but there was no response.I continued calling out Jessica, but there was no response from her end. I kept calling Jessica's name, but still, there was no reply until it hung up. I tried calling her again, but there was no response. I dialled her number thrice. When she didn't pick the third time, I decided to let her be..I left my phone in my office and decided to go supervise the packaging of the scandal goods that had been reproduced. I strolled around the room and made sure that everyone present there had something doing.I also supervised the faces of those who were in the team just to ensure that there were n
