Sarah's POVBy the time I got home it was just 6:30 am, enough time for me to prepare and go to work afterwards,“Ma'am, we're here?” The driver said to me, as I got out of my deep thoughts.“Oh really?” I said. I was a bit embarrassed as he had been calling out to me for a while. I took out a few bills from my purse as I paid him off.“Thank you, Mr.” I said to the driver, as I got out of the taxi, I entered my house, closing the door behind me and heaved a deep sigh of relief. After what happened to Justin and I at his place, I don't think I'd have the courage to look him in the eye today at work.No, not what you're thinking. After I walked into the room, he had been giving me some sort of attitude, so before he woke up, I darted out of there to come home then prepare for work so I wouldn't have an excuse to give for my lateness.“I just hope today goes well.” I muttered to myself as I stood up, I was still getting used to living alone, the house was quiet as usual, I better g
Sarah's POVI stood there with my head hung low, didn't I make it right? Or is he trying to make me feel worse than I already feel?“What the hell is this? He asked again, pointing at the cup.“Sir, I_”“You can't do anything right Sarah, tell me how you can't make coffee after the number of times I have taught you how I like my coffee?” He complained, but hold on a minute, all this just for a cup of coffee?Seriously? I thought to myself.“It's just coffee sir, no need to get upset I'll prepare another one right away.” I said to him, if I stood there much longer than I did, I don't trust my mouth to be obedient to me, cause I'll straight up bash the hell out of him even if he's my boss.He fell back to his seat with his eyes lingering around me, he wanted to say something else but by words had shut the words back into his throat.“Fine.” He answered sharply, returning back to whatever he was doing,Without wasting much time, I picked up the cup of coffee as I turned to leave when I h
Sarah's POVI stood by the door of his office, taking a few deep breaths, before holding on to the door knob then opening the door as I stepped in, his office was cold, with the air conditioning really high.I approached his table with mixed feelings, what if I get fired? But why would I? It's not like I was doing something wrong? So there is no justification to have me fired.He still with his gaze fixed on me without uttering a word to me, I was beginning to get uncomfortable with the way he stared at me, my knees were the first to give up as they shivered.“Sir? You called me?” I said to him, trying to remind him the reason I was here in his office but instead he didn't say anything, he just looked at me. To be honest, it was beginning to creep me out. The room suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of the cars and horns outside could be heard, at least that was better than a formidable silence where nobody spoke to each other.“You're something, you know? He began, breaking t
Sarah's POVI could feel Diana's anger erupting through her skin as Justin pulled me closer to himself.I enjoyed the moment and suddenly became conscious when I remembered I smelled like coffee. Diana tightened her fist as she looked at the both of us.She seemed frozen and if I could guess her thoughts clearly she'd do anything to eliminate me. Justin, who saw Diana wasn't responding, turned towards me. He looked into my eyes as he grabbed my Palms softly, raising them towards his face and he smiled as he kissed them lightly.“Let's go somewhere safer my darling, this place is hot with jealousy. I can sense it” Justin saidI wondered if this was real or fake. Justin sounded so sarcastic and I held the laughter that was about to erupt within me. I smiled courteously as I nodded towards Justin's suggestion. “Okay” I affirmed.Following him softly as he took me away from a furious Diana.Once we were out of sight and away from the boutique, Justin pushed me away as he flinged my arm.
Sarah's PovI watched Justin as his mind raced with thoughts. The once serene atmosphere slowly had tension building with strings of chaos.“Read the message!” Justin yelled. I had seen Justin mad sometimes but never this angry. He was vibrating as the veins in his head came out fully. His eyes seemed to be teary as his voice was hoarse and his breathing was loud.I looked at the message as I opened my mouth to read it.“Mm.. message from the lawyer” I began stuttering.My stomach tightened as it formed a knot. Justin's mood scared me, I didn't know if he was going to hit me.“Why did you stop reading? Continue” he said calmly this time.His emotions seemed to have mellowed down. He looked relaxed but still angry. I took a deep breath as I continued reading the short message.“Annulment Granted. Your marriage is now officially dissolved”I closed my mouth as Justin released my hands. I could see the questions racing through his mind reflecting in his eyes.I tried to explain but h
Sarah's POVI stood there stunned to the ground, what can I say? The same man I am trying to avoid apparently falls in love with me.He drew closer to me, as he tried to hold my hands when I drifted back,“I love you, Sarah.” He finally confessed. What could I say, it still felt surreal to me. Like someone should just tap me and wake me up from this slumber.“Love?” I breathe out in disbelief, “ you love me?” I asked again to be sure I heard well the last time.I tried to look into his eyes if I'd see a hint of him joking but when I looked into his eyes there was nothing but pure love glaring at me in the face.“I love you, Sarah.” He said again this time his voice deepened, then paced a bit as he ran his hands through his hair. Then walked towards me, as he cupped my face,“You do not know how long I have suppressed this feeling of mine.” He said, then breathed out disappointingly, “ I found out that you're married?”“How? How? Your CV stated that you were not Married, Sarah! H
Sarah's POV“Who is this Ex husband of yours?” He asked again with a wild smile on his face, I just knew he would ask. I just couldn't imagine his face if I told him that Steve, his financial Manager is actually my husband.I looked at him and didn't even know when I bursted into laughter. Justin stood there in confusion, Why am I not supposed to know?” He asked, then we both shared a laugh.“You know him already....” His eyes widened in surprise, then stepped back a bit . “Who's that?”I took a deep breath and then broke the news to him, “It's Steve. “ I said rather sadly, I didn't know Calling his night could trigger something.“Steve? The same Steve from the office?” He asked and I nodded in affirmation. “The one and the only.”Justin stood there in shock, we were already running late and I'm sure everyone in the office would be wondering why we aren't back yet. But I'm yet to see another version of Justin.He had a lot of things to say but I just knew his life must have
JUSTIN'S POVSteve's eyes glared at me as he pursed his gaze directing it to me. His face went pale and I'm sure he didn't see that coming.“What do you mean by you're in love with Sarah? That's against the company's ethics.” He fired back, he was right, Dad made sure I promised that I'd keep my distance from his female staff, but how can I help it after played a trick on me and brought one to my bedroom a day before she applied?Steve worked with my father up until two years ago when I took over the company. If there was anyone my father solely trusted, it would be Steve. According to him he was a wonderful employee and a good husband to his wife, how could I not connect the dots between him and Sarah the first time I saw them together talking suspiciously.“And that is my father, Steve. I have as much right to date anyone I want and that includes Sarah. Nothing is going to take me out of this game. Or maybe you should back out because your messed up situation made a way for me.”
