The Unwritten Vow Chapter 6
The shrill sound of an alarm tore through Sarah’s skull like a hammer against glass.She groaned, burying her face deeper into the pillow, squeezing her eyes shut as if that would somehow take away the headache. Her mouth was dry, her limbs felt heavy, and every sound around her felt ten times louder than it should be.What the hell happened last night?She shifted under the covers, frowning at the unfamiliar weight of her body. Then, like a slap on the face, the flashes of the bar filtered through her mind all at once. The bar. The whiskey. The man with cold, piercing eyes. Her drunken rambling. Her marriage proposal.Sarah’s eyes shot open so fast as she sat up fast that made the room spun. “Oh, no. No, no, no,” she muttered, gripping her head as a sharp pain pierced her skull.It couldn't be real, this had to be a dream. A cruel, alcoholic, induced nightmare. There was no way she had actually proposed marriage to a stranger She scrambled for her phone, nearly knocking over the

The taxi screeched to a halt in front of the marriage bureau, and Sarah nearly went flying forward, saved only by the seat belt she had barely remembered to wear. She muttered a quick “Thanks” to the driver, handed over some cash, and stumbled out, feeling the weight of what she was about to do settle in her stomach.She stared up at the building, her nerves kicking in.This is insane. Absolutely insane.Sarah took a deep breath, rolling her shoulders back. Okay, Sarah. Just breathe in, breathe out.She smoothed her dress, adjusted her bag, and mentally gave herself a pep talk. You are not a coward. You are a strong, independent woman who is about to do something completely reckless, but it’s fine.Nodding to herself, she placed one foot forward and then stopped.Her heart pounded as she glanced at the glass doors of the bureau. What if he’s already gone? What if I’m about to make the dumbest decision of my life?Before she could spiral any further, she groaned and shook her head. "T

Sarah barely had time to process what had happened at the marriage bureau before exhaustion took over. The moment she stepped out of the taxi, she let out a deep sigh, her mind still reeling from the events of the day. Her body felt heavier than usual, and every step toward her apartment door felt like she was dragging herself through wet cement.She had done it. She had signed a contract marriage with a man she barely knew.Slipping off her heels the second she stepped inside, Sarah slumped onto the couch, closing her eyes. She needed a moment to breathe, to comprehend the madness she had just walked into. But before she could gather her thoughts, her phone buzzed on the coffee table. She groaned, cracking one eye open.Claire Lawson.Sarah exhaled, knowing she couldn't ignore the call. Claire had been there for her for years, a guiding presence in both her professional and personal life. More than a mentor, she was the closest thing Sarah had to family.Taking a deep breath, Sarah a

Elliott sat in the back seat of his sleek black car, his sharp eyes focused on the phone screen as his personal assistant, Lucas, drove them to Sarah’s apartment. The low hum of the engine was the only sound in the car. When they pulled up in front of her building, Elliott didn’t bother stepping out. Instead, he simply typed a short message and sent it.Elliott: I’m outside.Inside her apartment, Sarah took a deep breath as she read the text. She stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down the elegant yet simple dress she had chosen. She wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but she knew she had to look presentable. She quickly grabbed her purse and walked out. When she stepped outside, she immediately noticed Lucas, who had stepped out of the car.“Miss Sarah,” he said with a polite nod as he opened the door for her.Sarah blinked at the level of formality but simply nodded back. “Good evening.”She slid into the plush leather seat, and before she could fully settle, Elliott gave Luc

Elliott’s car pulled into the private driveway of his estate, and Sarah’s breath hitched at the sight before her. The mansion was massive, elegant and imposing. The grand structure stood illuminated under the night sky, it's towering pillars exuding wealth and power, it exudes power, wealth and everything that reminded her of the world Elliott belonged to.Lucas, Elliott’s personal assistant, stepped out first, walking around to open the door for them. Sarah hesitated as she adjusted the hem of her dress before stepping out gracefully. As they pulled up to the entrance, uniformed staff were already waiting. Their expressions remained professional, but their eyes couldn’t hide their curiosity.The moment Elliott stepped out, they greeted him in unison. “Welcome home, sir.”Then their attention shifted to Sarah.Whispers. Soft but unmistakable."Who is she?""Young Master actually brought a woman home?"I've never seen him bring anyone home before." Sarah stiffed at the murmurs but ke

Sarah stirred awake, her body sinking into the plush mattress beneath her. The warmth of the silk sheets wrapped around her, unfamiliar yet undeniably comforting. For a fleeting moment, she forgot where she was. But her eyes fluttered open, the realization hit her, this wasn’t her tiny apartment. She sat up, glancing around her room. It was far bigger than anywhere she had lived. The high ceilings, intricate moldings, and floor to ceiling windows made it feel more like a hotel suite not a bedroom. A grand chandelier hung overhead, sparkling even in the daylight. Everything about this place screamed wealth. Her fingers unconsciously curled around the fabric of her nightwear. This is my new home, she reminded herself.She had moved into Elliott’s mansion yesterday, stepping into a world of wealth and grandeur that was nothing like the life she had known. Taking a deep breath, she pushed aside the covers and slipped out of bed, her back feet meeting the cool marble floor. A glance at

After weeks of staying at home, Sarah decided it was time to return to work. She needed something to keep her occupied, something that felt normal.That morning, as she came downstairs dressed for the office, Aunty Lu was already waiting for her in the foyer.“Are you going somewhere, dear?” she asked.Sarah adjusted the strap of her handbag. “Yes, I’m going back to work today.”Aunty Lu nodded approvingly. “That’s good. I was wondering when you’d get tired of staying here all day.” Then, with a small smile, she reached into her apron pocket and pulled out a sleek black car key. “Here. Elliott asked me to give this to you whenever you were ready to go out.”Sarah blinked in surprise. “A car?”“Yes, of course. Can you drive?”“I can,” Sarah admitted. She hadn’t expected Elliott to arrange something like this for her, and a part of her refused. “Thank you, but I’ll just take a cab.”Aunty Lu clicked her tongue. “A cab? From this house? You’ll be waiting all day for one to come up this r

Sarah gripped the steering wheel, her fingers tightening unconsciously as she drove through the city streets. She had no real destination in mind. After losing her job abruptly this morning, she wasn’t ready to go home just yet. The mansion felt suffocating at times, too grand and too empty when Elliott wasn’t there.She let out a long sigh as she glanced at the passing buildings. The weight of the past month pressed down on her shoulders, making her feel as though she was carrying a burden too heavy to bear. Everything had changed so quickly, and she barely had time to process it all.As she drove past a small, familiar café, she made an impulsive decision and pulled into the parking lot. It was a quaint little coffee shop she used to frequent before everything in her life had spiraled out of control.The moment she stepped inside, the scent of freshly brewed coffee filled her senses, bringing a slight comfort. She walked toward the counter, ordering her usual drink, before scanning

The Unwritten Vow After the Storm
Back at the banquet hall, the music played on, and laughter echoed across the grand chandelier-lit room but something felt off.Elysia returned from the restroom, adjusting her silver dress as she scanned the crowd. Her brows pinched together when she didn’t immediately spot Sarah. She weaved through the sea of guests, moving quickly, checking corners and the lounge near the bar.Still no sign of her.Her smile began to waver.She turned sharply and headed straight to her brother.“Brother,” she said, tugging at Elliot’s sleeve. “Have you seen Sarah?”Elliot turned to her, clearly distracted. “She was just here.”“Well, she’s not anymore,” Elysia said, her voice a little more urgent now. “I’ve checked the whole place.”A flicker of something unreadable passed through Elliot’s eyes. He set his drink down immediately.“Let’s go,” he said, already walking.Elysia followed closely, her heels clicking hurriedly behind him.They didn’t speak on the drive home, both hoping she’d be there.Th
The Unwritten Vow Left to bleed
Sarah stood in the corner of the room, alone again after Elysia left for the restroom. Her eyes scanned the crowd again, searching for Elliott. He was speaking with a group of men in suits, wine glass in hand, cool and unreadable. She waited, hoped he'd spare her a glance, a sign or anything.But he didn’t even look at her.The humiliation had settled like fire in her chest, burning hotter with each passing moment.She couldn’t take it anymore.She walked out of the banquet hall, her heels clicking against the marble floor, each step she took was fueled with anger. As she stepped into the cold night, the air felt sharp against her flushed cheeks.She glanced down the street, considering calling a cab. She could make her way back to the penthouse alone. She didn’t care what Elliott thought, that's if he even noticed she’d left.Just as she reached for her phone, the screech of tires ripped through the silence.Two black cars pulled up beside her, their tinted windows gleaming under the
The Unwritten Vow The birthday party
The next morning, Sarah arrived at the office for the first time as Elliott’s personal secretary, expecting to at least have something to do. But as the hours dragged on, she found herself sitting idly in his office, doing absolutely nothing. She wasn’t given any work, no one directed her anywhere, and Elliott had barely acknowledged her presence since they arrived.She sighed, tapping her fingers on the desk impatiently. “Why am I even here?” she muttered under her breath.The only sound in the office was the soft ticking of the clock and the occasional flipping of pages as Elliott worked through some documents. Sarah was bored out of her mind. She had imagined that working in one of the most prestigious companies would be an exciting experience, but instead, she felt like a piece of furniture placed there for show.She glanced at Elliott, who remained focused on his work, showing no signs of including her in anything. Sarah frowned, frustration bubbling inside her.“This is ridiculo
The Unwritten Vow A family Affair
Elliott sat at his desk, flipping through documents with a sharp, calculating gaze. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his office showcased the towering skyline, but his focus remained unwavering. His assistant had informed him minutes ago that his mother was on her way up.When the heavy oak doors swung open, Vivian Remington walked in, her heels clicking against the polished floor. She exuded elegance, dressed in an emerald green suit, her hair neatly styled, but her expression was anything but composed. Her face was set in a deep frown, her sharp eyes locked onto her son the moment she entered.Without waiting for an invitation, she sat across from him, placing her handbag on the desk with a thud.“So, it’s true,” she began, her voice laced with irritation. “You really went through with this ridiculous marriage.”Elliott didn’t bother looking up. He flipped another page in his file before responding in his usual calm, detached tone. “It’s already been done. There’s no point in discuss
The Unwritten Vow A Glimpse of the Past
After the dramatic confrontation with James, Sarah felt suffocated by the weight of everything. the banquet hall with murmurs and watchful eyes felt constricting. She needed a moment alone. Spotting a waiter passing by, she gently stopped him.“Excuse me, where’s the bathroom?” she asked.The waiter pointed toward the hallway to her left. “Just down that corridor, Miss.”She nodded, muttering a soft thanks before making her way through the lavishly decorated hallway. The sound of clinking glasses and polite laughter faded as she distanced herself from the main event.Once inside the restroom, she leaned against the marble countertop, exhaling deeply.Her reflection stared back at her from the mirror her perfectly styled hair, flawless makeup, an elegant dress hugging her frame. To anyone else, she might have looked poised and composed, the image of a woman who belonged in a place like this.She had spent years loving a man who betrayed her, wasted time on a friendship that was nothing
The Unwritten Vow A public confrontation
Sarah and James’s eyes met, and in that instant, she saw panic flicker in his. He wasn’t expecting her. His face went pale, his expression twisting as if struggling to process what he was seeing. For a moment, he just stared, his body rigid, his mind clearly racing. Then, as if something snapped, his lips parted, and he barked her name.“Sarah.”His voice was sharp, filled with disbelief, cutting through the conversations around them.He took a step forward. “What the hell is going on?” he demandedSarah kept her expression calm, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. Instead, a smirk curled her lips, subtle but intentional.Sarah raised an eyebrow. “You’ll have to be more specific than that.”His jaw clenched, “Why are you here? Why are you with another man?” His eyes flickered to Elliott, but he didn’t hold his gaze for long. The weight of Elliott Remington’s presence was suffocating. Instead, James returned his attention to Sarah.“You’re my fiancée,” he said, voice
The Unwritten Vow A Shocking Encounter
The night air was crisp as the luxury car glided to a stop in front of The Celestial Pavilion, an opulent five-star hotel renowned for hosting the most exclusive gatherings of high society. Lucas stepped out first and swiftly opened the door. The moment Elliott Remington emerged, the air seemed to shift. He was dressed in a tailored black tuxedo. His presence alone was enough to command attention. Then, Sarah stepped out.A collective hush fell over the waiting onlookers.She was breathtaking.Her navy blue evening gown hugged her frame perfectly, the off-shoulder design accentuated her collarbones, and the subtle slit on the side allowed graceful movement as she walked. Her long, chestnut-brown hair had been styled into soft waves, cascading down her back, while elegant diamond earrings sparkled against her skin. Her lips painted in a deep crimson, adding a bold contrast to her otherwise delicate features.Murmurs erupted as they made their way into the banquet hall."Who is she?"
The Unwritten Vow Personal Secretary
During their journey to The Grand Royale Hotel, Sarah felt a growing sense of helplessness. Though Elliott had given her a job, she had no idea what her role truly entailed. She had followed him out without understanding her position.Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she turned to him. “What exactly is my job, Elliott?”He spared her only a brief glance before answering, “Personal secretary. Salary: Fifty thousand dollars.”Sarah's breath hitched. Fifty thousand dollars?Her heart pounded as she processed the amount. She had worked at a major company before, but her salary had never come close to that figure.However, her excitement quickly faded. She knew the money wasn’t because of her skills or experience, it was because of Elliott. Once again, she was dependent on him.Elliott noticed her hesitation. His brows furrowed. “Not enough?”She immediately shook her head. “No, it’s enough.”Sarah exhaled, turning her gaze to the window as the car continued its journey.After

Employees in tailored suits moved briskly, the air filled with quiet efficiency.Sarah couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed.Elysia confidently led Sarah past the reception and straight to the executive floor on the third level, where Elliott’s private office was located.Lucas, Elliott’s assistant stood outside the office in a crisp black suit. "Hi, Lucas! I haven’t seen you in a while," Elysia greeted him warmly.Lucas gave a polite smile. "Miss Elysia, it’s good to see you." His gaze shifted to Sarah. "Mrs. Remington," he acknowledged with respectful formality.Sarah nodded in return, though she still wasn’t used to being addressed that way.As th
