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.”
Steve's POVI got out of his office as I banged the door close, scaring all other staff, most of them shocked at the way I banged their precious CEOs office. He does all the work and then Justin's receives all the credit. I adjusted my jacket, trying to cool off,this was just the beginning, I tried to calm myself down with the thought.As I headed back to my office, I met Sarah on her way to his office. She was dressed beautifully, the clothes really glued to her body, accentuating her curves more. I missed her.She walked past me, I immediately stopped grabbing her by the wrist.“Really? Him? Are you that cheap, Sarah?” I blurted out, her eyes twisted with anger as she snapped her hands out of my grip.“The only thing saving you from the slap I am itching to slam on that miserable face of yours is the fact that we're at the office right now, and I do not want to draw unnecessary attention to myself just the way I have with Justin.” She fired out, not waiting for me to counter he
STEVE'S POV“Nicole?” I called again, I wasn't sure I was dreaming, how the hell is she Nk.“Steve.” She called softly, as she took a sip of the wine in her hands, I have to admit, she looked totally different from the last time she was here.I've been with the Louis household for five years and I know everyone and every story connected to each person and Nicole was one of themA small flash back to who She really was in Justin's life, the Kancaid and the Louis household were close friends so apparently you could call Nicole, Justin's best friend and in the long run, she fell in love with Justin who at the time was courting Melissa. If there was any threat posed to their relationship in the past then Nicole was the mastermind behind it. It was sad she had to leave for the United Kingdom, just to get her sanity back, and now she was back.The waiter drew the seat for me, as I sat down. He gave a light nod before handing the menu to me.“What would you like to order, Sir? I fell back t
Sarah's PovThe day was almost over, I cleared my desk, today has been one heck of a day. I picked up my phone as it rang, I left the files I was arranging when Justin called through the intercom.“Are you done?” He asked, I was not sure about my answer,“Uh….mmm… I think so.” I answered, as my eyes laced up, fixing itself to the ceiling. I bit my lips,“Fine, wait for me . I'm coming to get you.” He said, not even waiting for my answer when I hung up.“Rude.”I muttered to myself as I placed it back, picked up my bag, everyone was gone and so was Steve. About Steve, he was gone all afternoon, thank Goodness, Justin didn't need his attention to anything as he was gone all day.I thought about our little discussion, I just couldn't help it but Scoff. Be was unbelievable, I thought he wanted Diana, what's with the drag with Justin?I filtered my mind from every thought as I took my phone, Justin's door opened slightly as he got out, shutting the door.“So let's go?”. He began, I was conf
