Chapter 11

[The car and the driver are waiting in front of your house.]It was a text message from Bradley.I quickly went out to meet Sofia."Ms. Johnson?" An older man approached me."Yes, that's me. You're Joshua, right?" I asked.The man nodded.A Land Rover was parked in front of Ruth's house. Joshua carried my suitcase. Shortly after, Joshua opened the door for me and Sofia.Meanwhile, Derrick's car had just left the gate. Their eyes widened when they saw me getting into the luxurious vehicle. They might have thought it was an Uber, but who knows?Then Joshua drove towards Gillian's school.-Bradley was really a dependable assistant. In such a short time, he had managed to get this luxury car for me, complete with a driver.We arrived at Gillian's school. I took care of changing the address of Gillian's pick-up location.While Sofia and Joshua waited in the parking lot, I received another message from Bradley.[Boss, you're expected at the head office in thirty minutes. There

My eyes widened when I suddenly saw the man in front of me. We were both shocked. His face clearly showed how much he disliked seeing me."What do you want now?" Derrick asked arrogantly with hands on his hips."I told you that you'd have a hard life without me. Are you regretting it now?" he continued, smirking.Wow, Derrick’s confidence was unbelievable."Oh really? We'll see who actually has a hard time after our divorce," I replied calmly.His face turned red with anger."Mr. Dane, you're needed in the finance department," an office boy approached him."Hey Sarah, you should go home! Don't embarrass me with your shabby appearance," he snapped before walking away.I exhaled sharply.All my respect for Derrick had gone down the drain. No wonder he had never taken me to office events or friend gatherings. I guess he was embarrassed by the way I looked.I continued walking to the meeting room."Come on, Ms. CEO, why are you walking so slowly? Do you need me to carry you?" Al

We arrived at a prestigious five-star hotel in the city. Albert's Toyota Alphard drove straight to the hotel lobby, where a hotel staff member opened the door for us.As we entered the lobby, several event organizers greeted us. I walked alongside Albert, who as usual, smiled at everyone. Many women squealed in delight at his appearance tonight.Walking beside him in a matching-colored gown, I could only sigh at the scene.We walked on the red carpet, followed by several board members, and entered the hotel's grand ballroom.As we passed through the line of managers welcoming us on either side, I spotted Derrick among them, with the homewrecker clinging to him. They didn't seem to recognize me yet.The music played by a renowned band entertained the guests. An abundance of food and drinks was neatly arranged around the spacious ballroom. Spotlights illuminated the grand stage from all directions. Bradley had outdone himself with this event. I watched him busily directing the event

Uncle Benny invited me to walk around, introducing me to the bigwigs from other companies. Meanwhile, Albert never strayed far from me. He seemed well-known among the business leaders, always friendly and sociable.I felt someone's eyes on me from the corner of the room. I jolted when I saw her. Lorraine quickly looked away when our eyes met.I smiled. 'Finally, Lorraine, you're in my domain. You won't be able to push me around anymore. You need this job, don't you? Get ready to face the truth.'As the night went on, guests from other companies started to leave, but our employees were still enjoying the live music. I was ready to head home.I scanned the ballroom for Albert, but he was nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, Bradley was still busy overseeing the event staff.I tried calling Albert, but he didn't pick up. After waiting a while, I decided to head to the lobby to find Joshua. I had asked him to help with the event operations earlier that day."Hey, let me give you a ride home.

Today was my first day at the office. I had to arrive early because there was a briefing with all the division heads from various branches this morning.With natural makeup, a turquoise green tunic top, and a white skirt, my outfit today looked elegant and classy. I paired it with a white headband and a crystal bracelet.I smiled, satisfied with my reflection in the mirror."Mommy...""Yes, sweetheart?""Why doesn’t Daddy live here with us?"Oof. How should I answer Gillian's question?"Daddy has to stay with Grandma, honey.""Mommy... I miss Daddy and Grandma." Gillian looked sad."We’ll visit Grandma when I have some time, okay?" I consoled her."Now, off to school. Let’s go," I continued.Gillian's face lit up instantly. After all, she was really close to her grandmother."Sofia, pick Gillian up at the lobby this afternoon. Don’t be late, okay?""Yes, Ma'am.""Come on, Gillian. I'll take you to the lobby so your ride doesn’t have to wait too long," I urged."Okay, Mom

Derrick's P.O.V“I just don't like you meeting that wicked woman so often,” Kendall pouted after we left Sarah’s office. She walked on, stomping her feet.“But she’s Gillian’s mom, Kendall. We'll see each other often because of our daughter,” I explained, walking beside her.“Yeah, right. You just want to get back together because Sarah’s rich now, don’t you?” Kendall half-yelled, drawing the attention of people around us.“Hey, lower your voice. Remember, we’re in the office!” I hissed, glaring sharply at her.It was strange how I ended up falling for Kendall. She was pretty average-looking, but she knew how to dress sexily and put on makeup, which tempted me as a man.In comparison, Sarah was way more beautiful. Her body was slim and smooth, even after giving birth. She still had the body of a young adult.But Sarah didn't know how to dress up. She always looked plain to me, especially at home. She never tried to seduce me like Kendall did. She always complained about being ti

Derrick's P.O.V"How are we going to get the house deed back, Lorraine? What now, Derrick?" Mom slumped in her seat, looking absolutely frantic."I never trusted your husband from the start, Lorraine. Look where we are now. You need to find him!" I was panicking and angry at the same time."Derrick, you can ask Sarah for help. I heard you're trying to get back together." At this point, my sister was just saying whatever came to mind."Yeah, Derrick, Sarah is rich now. She's got plenty of money," Mom chimed in."Mom, why is this my problem now? Make Lorraine think of something," I snapped."But if we can't pay next month, the house will be gone," Lorraine cried."What do we do, Derrick?" Mom's voice began to tremble. And then suddenly...Thud!"Mom?! Mom!" Suddenly, Mom collapsed to the floor. Lorraine and I rushed to her, lifting her to the couch. Thank goodness she was still conscious."I feel weak, Derrick. If we get evicted, where will we live?" Mom's tears flowed as she s

Sarah’s P.O.VToday was an exhausting day. After inspecting a project out of town, I returned to my apartment, and it was already late when I finally arrived.I was surprised to see Sofia and Gillian still up."Gillian, why aren't you asleep yet, honey?" I asked as I walked into her room."I was waiting for you, Mommy.""Why? Didn't I tell you not to wait up?"I stroked my daughter's hair lovingly."Mommy, I want to see Grandma. Daddy said she's sick." I was startled by what she had said."When did you talk to Daddy?""I didn't see him, Mommy. He called earlier."I felt a bit relieved. It was just a call from Derrick. But was it true that Ruth was sick? I couldn't bear to deny Gillian's request to see her dad and grandma."Alright. Since tomorrow is a holiday, we'll go to Grandma's house then." Gillian beamed with happiness.-This morning, I promised Gillian we'd visit Ruth. Considering it was a holiday, those two rotten people might be at the house as well.Whatever. I

Chapter 18

"Sarah, I’m sorry. I didn’t really want to leave you. I must have been out of mind yesterday," Derrick started sweet-talking.‘You think I’m like the cheap woman you date, Derrick? That it's so easy to fall for your lies?’"I want us to get back together," he continued, looking at me intently.I stayed silent, pretending to think it over. There was no way I would ever get back with this cheating scum. After years of his betrayal, never again."I’ll think about it, Derrick," I answered nonchalantly, glancing at Kendall.Kendall kept glaring at us, her face clearly annoyed. 'Serves you right, you homewrecker.'Lorraine came over with drinks, still scowling. She brought two glasses of lemonade."Lorraine! You know I don’t like lemonade. Get me some tea. Make sure it's hot," I demanded, raising my voice.Lorraine glared but quickly looked down when I gave her a sharp look."Fine, fine!" she replied angrily.I chuckled inwardly. Lorraine who absolutely hated cooking and house chor

Chapter 19

Not long after, our food order arrived. Meanwhile, Derrick and Kendall had stopped arguing, but they were still inside the side unit together. What a disgusting, shameless pair.I had lost my appetite. The memory of catching them having sex together in the unit before lingered in my mind.Lorraine had been absent for a while too, probably off to see her kids. That woman’s laziness was beyond belief. Ruth’s house was a mess and neglected since I had moved out. She wouldn't even take care of her own mother, despite being lucky enough to have one worrying about her all the time. Unlike me, who had grown up alone.After keeping Ruth company while she ate, I planned to return to my apartment."Mom. Gillian and I are going home," I said.Ruth stayed silent, her eyes fixed on me. Sadness was written all over her aging face. Finally, tears started streaming from her wrinkled eyes."Sarah..." Ruth called my name in a hoarse voice."Yes, Mom?""Why are you still kind to me when I’ve trea
