"What??" I asked, wondering what he meant by that, or if he knew what I did back in the hotel."Nothing, I know absolutely nothing." I replied, but my worst mistake was the fact that I didn't look shock when I heard Hayden Smith's name."You're lying to me Becky."I could feel his heavy eyes on me as he spoke,"I have my men watching your every movement, and so it's useless lying to me." In a matter of seconds, he yanked my hair, pulling me back and grabbing my throat."Clark… please stop it." I cried, praying silently that he wouldn't strangle me to death. Fear was an entity in my eyes, and I knew Clark wasn't going to let me go that easily, at least not this time."Listen to me Becky." I heard his voice when he leaned closer to me, our eyes just an inch apart from each other, and his hot breath feeling my tensed breath as wellI nodded immediately because I was slowly becoming weak with the intensity of his grip on my neck.He sneered, "Don't you ever, I mean ever do anything stupi
Our eyes didn't stop staring at each other when he broke the kiss. Not only I was stunned, but even I could see the shocked look on his face.I guess he reacted without even realizing it, and maybe it was because he saw me in a frightened state. Our hands were still together, and we both ignore the gasps as well as the murmurs coming out from the mouth of those watching us.I fluttered my brows, and let out a smile which I did regret giving because that brought back his attention. I wished we could remain that way for eternity, and that those eyes he had used to look out me would never vanish.I love the racing of my heartbeat, it gave me joy to feel that little butterfly happily playing around my stomach. When I turned to face the press, I was no longer afraid. I no longer had that fear in my eyes and I could feel my legs so stern and rooted firmly to the ground.Once Hayden and I were done with the press, we both turned to walk into the company. There were many reporters who wanted
Sarah's POV."Have a seat Mr Genaro." Hayden said, standing up and walking towards me. I was fuming, annoyed that of all the surprises he had in the world for me, it just had to be bringing Clark right in front of me."What is the meaning of this Hayden?" I questioned, when we were both standing outside. He hushed me, looking back again at the door to his office."I promise I wouldn't do anything without your permission right Sarah? But, if you knew Clark was coming over, then you wouldn't have the courage to face him." Hayden said.Though he was right, but that still wasn't enough explanation to me."Your revenge starts here Sarah. The earlier you learn to look back at your ex even after the past, then the better for you and I. Now, the Genaro company are up to something, and I can feel it. This might just be the only chance you got." Hayden assured.I had to take in a deep breath when I was done. I shouldn't be scared, afterall Clark wouldn't dare to hurt me. Even though he acts all
Hayden's POV"Now the second stage of your plan is finally drawing closer, congratulations man." Ray said to me. I didn't look up at him or acknowledge his words, but I was indeed quite happy with the achievement I've made so far. I was getting closer to what I wanted, and that was the most important thing."But Hayden, don't you think you'll forever be hurting that lady if you do this?" Ray asked.His question caught my attention, and made me look up at him,"What do you mean Ray? You know how hard I've worked to come to this stage" He adjusted properly on his seat,"I know man, but don't you think with the trust she has for you, you'll be hitting her hard when the truth comes out, or when you no longer have use for her?"I sighed, caring less for what he was saying."That's the purpose of a contract Ray. She's only needed till a certain stage, and besides she becomes a nobody to me the moment I help her with what she wants""But..." Ray wanted to speak further, but I stopped him.
Becky's POV.. A resounding slap landed on my face, and I fell down on my knees the next second. My face turned as white as snow, and my tears dampened the corner of my eyes. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't disown you and blacklist your name from the family's registrar? Tell me once good reason why I shouldn't seize every property under your name?" My father asked.Tears rolled down my eyes, "I'm sorry father, please forgive me. It was a stupid mistake, and I should never have trusted them. I really thought it would help our company grow higher."My mother who was behind him also had tears in her eyes. Just like me, she was pleading with my father to spare me this once. "What the hell were you thinking Becky? Just a week with the company under your watch and you got duped of 10 billion dollars." My father yelled. He took down his glasses, pacing to and fro. As I watched him, I was more worried about his health than what he was saying. "Take it easy honey, you might get
Sarah's POVI stood at another corner, staring at nowhere in particular. I had taken another glass of wine when I left mine back on my table.I despise myself for not retaliating to those annoying words of Clark, but again I felt it wasn't necessary to waste my saliva on him.Still looking around, my eyes caught Hayden, and Mr Hidalgo still in a conversation, and I could tell Hayden was getting bored of his endless praises.He had used those lips of his in sweet talking my father into favouring him, and now that my father's company was facing some difficulties, he wanted to divert to somewhere else.Just when I wanted to divert my gaze to somewhere else, I saw a lady walk up to Hayden."Natasha." That's her name.The arrogant daughter of Mr Hidalgo. They're practically the same people- green snakes.My blood was boiling when I saw her smile in front of Hayden, and I could feel my head spinning as well.I tried to comport myself not to act so foolish because I had no right to tell Hayd
Becky's POV"How did it go Becky? Did you find the young lady?" Clark asked me the moment he got home. He was drunk, and nearly wasted.My eyes were swollen because I had been crying earlier, as well as making some stupid calls Clark wanted me to."Not yet, but I'm close to finding her." I replied, looking away from him because I knew my reply would surely get him angry."What can you do Becky, I gave you a simple job and yet you're slacking? Get her before the wedding commences tomorrow." He instructed.Just as he wanted to walk away, I stopped him."What about the one who scammed me, aren't you worried about that as well?" I asked.Again, Clark turned to face my direction."What does that have to do with me Becky?"I was scared to talk back, but then I couldn't hold back the anger I was feeling inside me."You were practically the one who made me do it, Clark. What are you trying to do, ruin my fathers company? We need to find him, and have the bastard pay for what he did. I listene
The rays of the sun penetrated through my window which made me open my eyes immediately.I was covered with a duvet, and Kira was in the room as well standing beside the window."Rise and shine Mrs Sarah, today is your wedding day." Kira chanted happily.My head was hurting so bad, and the bright light in the room was quite disturbing. I even forget today was the day I would be getting married. Married and finally becoming Mrs Sarah Smith. I would no longer bear the Lane's name for the time being.Just then, something hit me hard, so hard that it made me wince in pain as I held my head."Are you alright?" Kira asked worriedly."What happened last night? Who brought me in, Kira?" I asked, slightly recalling what happened yesterday."Mr Hayden brought you in yesterday. You were drunk last night." Kira replied.I recalled just one thing, and that was Hayden lifting me up into his arms, after that, I seem to can't remember whatever happened last night.When I raised the duvet, I saw myse
