SARA'S POV

I carefully reviewed the document, corrected every mistake I could find, going over it repeatedly until I was assured that there was nothing else that could be marked or pointed out as an error or omission.

"Take this back to Mr Marshall's assistant," I handed it over to Laila after I finished with a soft but firm tone.

She nodded quickly, still looking shaken up after the brief altercation with Jacob.

No doubt, she wasn't used to being yelled at.

After she left to hand it over to him, I straightened the rest of the files on my desk then grabbed my notepad and headed out to check on the boardroom that was to be used for today's meeting.

It was a part of my assignment but personally, I preferred to double-check the layout repeatedly to ensure that nothing was out of place.

This was an old habit of mine, one I hoped I would be able to leave behind along with this company.

The hallway was quiet, except for the occasional ringing of phones in distant offices and the low hum of c

  • REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE    Chapter 27

    SARA’S POVLeaving the party, I was gripped by guilt, I had to lie to Danielle that I had a meeting because I couldn’t bear staying in that room for another minute. I felt bad because I didn't know how she was going to handle the divorce so I planned to keep it from her for now. She had no business trying to understand why her parents couldn’t be together. But I was done pretending, walking out with a smile. I dreaded divorcing Derek before because I was scared of what my life would be like, what people would say but I cared less about that now. It takes two people to keep a bond and I was done fighting to keep that bond. I shrugged the thought from my mind, staring at myself in the mirror, brushing my hair. This was my first official day at Alaric's company, my first step to my success story and I could feel it. I glanced through Rina's message once more, a smile crept onto my face, it reminded me that I had someone rooting for me, and I was finally choosing a path for myself. S

    SARA’S POVI was late, and I knew it. I didn’t really want to go to the family’s house, where I had to pretend like everything was okay with my marriage. But that didn’t mean I could miss Grandpa’s birthday. Let alone, I had already promised Grandma that I’d be in attendance.I got out of the car with my present in hand after about an hour of driving. I approached the crowd of people mingling as a subtle music played in the background. Danielle and Derek were already there. Danielle approached me with a bright smile plastered on her face as soon as she saw me. “Mummy, you're here!” She said with so much excitement as she ran to hug me, and I bent down to pick her up. “Someone is in a good mood,” I said, teasing her.“Grandpa said I can open his gifts with him later today, we’re going to have so much fun together.” She said excitedly.I watched her with excitement before placing her down. “That’s amazing, now come help me look for him so I can give him a present,” I said, holding h

    SARA’S POVI stared at the final version of my design for the competition one more time before emailing it. After a few minutes of processing, it was finally sent. I felt light and a little anxious, but I knew I was happy. People never respected a mere homemaker, I wanted to be more than a mother. To prove to myself and to those who looked down on me that I’m more than capable of making an impact, by doing what I love.I wanted to matter, I wanted to be a role model to my daughter, and this change had to start from me. I got dressed because I had to stop by Alaric's office today. I was as excited as a child who was promised a date to the park.I didn’t know whether it was because I was going to see him after the trip or because I’d be in such a workspace.On arrival, I was quite impressed by the subtle and warm environment as I walked in with my head held high. The key to standing out anywhere is to walk and act confidently. I noticed some workers standing at the side, they were all

    SARA’S POVIt was hard to ignore Derek and Alyssa standing at a corner because there was a way Alyssa’s presence intimidated me, probably because I believed she was someone I would never be, no matter how hard I tried. I managed to shrug that thought off my mind and focus on my own life, no matter what, Derek and Alyssa would always be around. It was about time I started getting used to their presence and started making it bother me less.The rest of the night went so well because other designers also acknowledged my talent and were willing to work with me. I felt proud of myself for coming this far, My independence and professional growth were very obvious and recognized. The night ended with everyone returning to their rooms. The next few days passed pleasantly, filled with engaging sessions and fruitful exchanges.Thankfully, I haven’t seen Derek and Alyssa again since that awful encounter. That just makes it even better. I sketched my designs for the competition and discussed

    Sara’s POV“What are they doing here?” Rina asked after spotting them.“I have no idea.”I felt uneasy the moment I saw them approach us. Just when I thought this was going to be a good day, they just had to show up here. What the hell were they even here for? They had no business with the exhibition.Rina held my hands and squeezed them lightly.“Calm down, don’t let anything ruin your day.” She mustered as they were already close to us.Derek’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw me standing there, which was ironic to me because he definitely knew I was here and he was here to taunt me.As soon as Jules spotted them, he rushed to Alyssa while I stood there, waiting for everything to unfold.“Miss Alyssa, it is such a delight to have you here today with us. We are more than honored by your presence.” He said with so muc
