View MoreSARAH'S POV:
As I sat comfortably on the couch in my sitting room, I was completely engrossed in the program being shown on the television. The show was really interesting and I was thoroughly enjoying it. However, all of a sudden, I started experiencing a sharp pain in my stomach. It was completely unexpected and took me by surprise. The pain was so intense that it made me feel quite uncomfortable and uneasy. I couldn't understand what was causing it and I started to worry.The pain was persistent and did not seem to subside despite the changes I made in my breathing. As I have not experienced anything like this before.I suddenly started bleeding. I felt helpless, not knowing what was happening to me. I screamed for help, hoping someone would hear me and come to my rescue. Despite calling out several times, it seemed that nobody could hear me. The sound of my voice was the only response I got.I began to feel weak and dizzy. I know I needed help urgently. When I thought I couldn't hold on any longer, I heard footsteps coming towards me.It was my daughter Mabel, who had heard my cries for help."Mom" she called me, she rushed to my side and tried to lift me, but she couldn't. She now looked confused and scared as she stared at me.“Mom, wait here am coming,” she said and ran out immediately. Then when she ran out I tried to stand but I couldn't. My eyes felt because I was bleeding profusely on the ground, I can't just tell how I am going to survive it. Then I tried to stand again and saw Mark staring at me. He was just there looking at me without attempting to help as if nothing was going on, how heartless he was. I thought.As I tried to straighten up my hands to call for him to help me but was held by a hand that drew me backwards… Then I managed to raise my face if I could see the person. It's Brenda.Brenda expressed her frustration and concern for me. She has urged me severally to leave Mark, whom she deemed wicked and undeserving.Mark Adrian is my husband and one of the richest CEOs who owns a company.When I got married to Mark Adrian in exchange for the money my parents owed his father during their business contract before my parents died in a motor accident years ago.I could do nothing, I had no choice but to give in to the marriage, or my family would become slaves and pay every dime and would be abandoned as well.Life has been hell staying in his mansion.According to him, I was a low-life person he couldn't live with. He treats me like trash, he never shows any affection.I never stepped my feet outside without being surrounded by the guards. Because he thought that I might run out and his money won't be refunded. He visited me on his own time because he gave me my separate room.I don't feel submissive to him in bed or that might be my end.He never asked about my feelings, and I had no means to speak to him about it.Life continued that way, even though I lacked nothing but it was better to be poor and happy.. until I gave birth to my daughter Mabel who is going to clock 8 years next month.“Are you okay? Sarah. Who did this to you? Why are you bleeding continuously?” Brenda said in anger, but I couldn't answer because I was weak. "You deserve the best," Brenda emphasised, her tone laced with anger and disappointment and it was evident in her facial expression that she was struggling to control her anger. My situation seemed to have struck a nerve with Brenda, and if given the chance, she might harm Mark.“Can you walk?” Brenda asked me but this time she was more concerned about me.“Stand, let's leave, I'll take you to the hospital,” she said to me, believing that I would stand up and follow her.Mabel was behind me sobbing heavily trying to lift me which she couldn't.I was already 2 months pregnant, and I didn't want to lose my baby so I had to be strong and pick myself up. If I'm not fast enough, I might die because of the pain I was passing through and I don't wish for such a thing to happen.“Follow me!” Brenda said to me and she walked towards me and lifted me.Mabel, who tried to follow, was stopped by Brenda, she protested but Brenda assured her to take care of me and told her to back off, which she agreed to let go.As we entered the car, I could see my daughter crying, then she drove off.We were seated in the waiting room when the doctor arrived in less than ten minutes and called for me walking towards me.“What happened to her.. the doctor asked.“I got a call from her daughter telling me that her mom needs medical attention. Then I rushed her here”. Brenda explained. “Nothing bad must happen to her, please.” She pleaded.“May I ask if you have been battling with any complications before now?” I nodded no.Then he checked my pulse. “It was weak. But you will be fine”, the doctor said.I could not alter a word because I was down, I just kept staring at both as they spoke.“So... what exactly are we going to do?And is there no medication you can administer for quick recovery?” Brenda asked.He sighed. “Of course, there is medication.” the doctor said.He took out a pill bottle from him and requested for a glass of water which one of the nurses handed over to him. He pushed the brim of the cup through my lips, forcing me to gurgle it up.“You will be fine in no time when you wake up”. The doctor said and took a few steps backward before dashing out.Then I got myself glued back lying to the bed and then slept off.……..As I gradually regained consciousness, a feeling of suffocation overwhelmed me. With great effort, I mustered the strength to open my eyes, I felt relieved that I was in a hospital and then slowly pushed myself up into a seated position. To my surprise, I didn't feel any pain.The door suddenly burst open, and a man in a white lab coat rushed in. "My dear, how are you feeling?" he asked in a gentle voice.I scrutinised the man's face; he seemed strange to me.“How did I get here?” I asked him.He sighed deeply. “Your friend drove you to this hospital”.That was when I recalled everything that had happened. “Brenda,” I bit my lower lips. “Oh shit!” I rubbed my stomach and I raised my face, and I took a glance at the doctor. “What about my baby's condition? I hope nothing has happened to him”, hoping for a positive response. “The baby had not survived”. The doctor replied.MARK'S POVI could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, a low roar of rage building inside me. How could she? After everything, how could she do this now, knowing I still love her? Knowing what she meant to me? My fists clenched at my sides, my mind racing with a thousand questions, a thousand thoughts crashing in.Then I heard it — a low murmur from the crowd, a ripple of excitement spreading like wildfire. And then, as if on cue, voices began to chant, louder and louder, "Marry him! Marry him!"The words hit me like a punch to the gut. The room was closing in, the noise growing deafening, and I could feel the heat rising up my neck, my vision narrowing as the reality of what was happening sank in. Joe was down on one knee, a ring in his hand, and the crowd was cheering them on. “No… no, no, no,” I muttered, shaking my head as if trying to wake from a bad dream. My chest felt tight, and I could barely breathe. Paul reached out, grabbing my arm, trying to pull me back to my seat, but I
MARK'S POV:The restaurant was crowded, filled with the low hum of conversations and the clinking of cutlery against plates. Paul and I were seated by the window, where the sunlight poured in. I pushed my food around, barely tasting it, my thoughts elsewhere.Suddenly, Sarah walked in, her smile as radiant as ever, but my chest tightened when I saw who was with her — Joe. My jaw clenched instinctively. That man. I knew he had something planned, something dark. I’d seen enough of his schemes to know he was trouble, and now he was here with her. My Sarah. A burning anger rose inside me, spreading like wildfire. "They just sat down," I muttered, my eyes glued to them. I didn't even realize Paul was speaking until he snapped his fingers in front of my face."Hey! Earth to you," Paul called, his voice cutting through my thoughts.I blinked and turned to him. "What?"Paul’s gaze shifted towards Sarah and Joe, and then back to me. He sighed, exasperation etched on his face. "How long are yo
JENNIE'S POV:My father’s study, usually a place of calm, had turned into a storm of anger and tension. I stood near the doorway, my fists clenched, my heart pounding in my chest. I could hardly breathe. "Daddy, are you really going to sit there and let that bitch, Sarah, take everything we’ve worked for?" I spat out, my voice trembling with frustration. My words felt like acid on my tongue. The room seemed to shrink as I waited for his response, my breath quickening.My father, his face shadowed in the gloom, whipped his head towards me, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits. "I’ve told you to shut your mouth! I’m doing something about it!" He shouted, his voice slicing through the air. His fury hung in the air, thick and suffocating.I felt my cheeks flush with heat, my anger flaring even hotter. I couldn’t stay still. I paced back and forth, my heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor, frustration boiling inside me like a storm ready to break. My mind raced, thoughts tu
SARAH'S POVI smiled, glad to hear a proactive suggestion. “Absolutely. Explore those options. Bring me a list of potential partners and what they bring to the table. We’re not just here to compete; we’re here to lead, and sometimes that means joining forces.”Angela grinned and nodded, already thinking of ideas."And you, Daniel? What do you think needs to change?" I asked.He hesitated, then said, "We need stability. People are worried. They don’t know what to expect from you."I leaned back, considering his words. "Then make it clear: change is coming. But it’s a change for the better. We’re not just surviving; we’re going to thrive. And anyone who can’t keep up with that pace has no place here."I could feel the tension in the room. The executives exchanged uneasy glances. Some of them were on board, others were resistant. But they all knew one thing: this was not my uncle’s company anymore.No one moved. It was clear they had no more questions—for now, at least. I could see the g
SARAH'S POV:I could see the mix of expressions—some were still processing, some were skeptical, and a few were cautiously optimistic. I wanted to make sure there were no doubts and no misunderstandings about what was coming next.James, the CFO, raised his hand slightly, his eyes narrowing behind his glasses, he cleared his throat, adjusted his glasses, and stood. “What happens if these new strategies don’t work? What if we lose money and our position in the market worsens?" he asked, his voice steady but carrying a hint of challenge. I nodded, expecting this kind of resistance from James. "We adapt and pivot. We don’t cling to what doesn’t work. This company has been too afraid to take risks. But if we’re afraid to fail, we’ll never succeed. We’ll monitor every move closely, but doing nothing isn’t an option anymore.""We’ve been running a tight ship, focusing on profitability. I think we should maintain our current trajectory.” James continued.I nodded, my face expressionless. "P
SARAH'S POV:As I stood in my father's company, looking out over the city that had been the backdrop to this epic battle—a battle for survival, for control, for legacy. I felt a profound sense of accomplishment. The skyscrapers rose high above the clouds, their glass windows reflecting the dying light of the sun. I could see it all now—every corner, every street, every building that had witnessed the storm I’d fought through. This city had been a battlefield, and I had emerged victorious, my resolve unbroken. But the war wasn’t over yet. The real work was just beginning.Now, standing in this high-rise office, it was time to reset everything. I turned away from the window and looked around the office. Now, my office. Everything in here screamed of the old regime: the heavy oak desk, the leather-bound books lining the walls, the dimly lit. The office smelled of leather and old wood, a heavy scent of authority. I could feel the weight of my uncle's legacy pressing down on my shoulders
SARAH'S POV:The rawness of it cut through the air, making everyone in the room freeze. Andrew's words, high-pitched and frantic, shattered the heavy silence that had settled over the courtroom like a thick fog. Every head turned to him, eyes wide with shock. Even the judge, who had maintained a stoic expression throughout the trial, looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. The tension in the room grew unbearable, like the air had been sucked out, leaving only the charged atmosphere behind.The bailiffs, trained to handle situations like this, tightened their grip on Andrew. But he continued to thrash, his movements wild and erratic, like a trapped animal. His eyes, once sharp and calculating, now darted around the room in sheer desperation. “I had no choice!” he shouted again, louder this time, his voice thick with fear. He scanned the faces in the courtroom, searching for someone—anyone—who might offer him a lifeline, a way out of the fate that awaited him.Then, his eyes landed on
SARAH'S POVThe courtroom was a cold, unforgiving place, filled with an almost palpable tension. The ceiling-high windows let in a harsh, gray light that settled over everything like a shroud. I stood at the defendant's table, gripping the edge so tightly that my knuckles turned white. The wood felt rough under my fingers, grounding me in the moment. My heart hammered in my chest, each beat echoing in my ears like the ticking of a clock. Every breath I took seemed louder than the whispers that had filled the room moments before. Now, it was silent. Unbearably silent.Barr Lawn stood beside me, tall and steady, his presence a rock in the storm of my emotions. He wasn’t just my lawyer—he was my friend, my guide through this harrowing journey. His eyes, usually so stern and focused, were softer now as they flicked toward me, giving a small nod of reassurance. I tried to find strength in his calm, but the fear was too strong. It coiled in my stomach, tightening with each second that passe
SARAH'S POV: The day before had been a blur of calls, documents, and the ceaseless hum. I didn’t feel like the same person anymore. The timidness that once gripped me had been burned away by the fire of righteous fury.My uncle’s legal team, once arrogant and dismissive, had fired the first volley—a desperate plea for a settlement. I had read their letter once, twice, maybe a dozen times. Each word was a thinly veiled threat wrapped in a mask of concern for “family unity.” But I wasn’t the same person who had bowed to their will in the past. That morning, as I held the letter in my hands, something inside me snapped into place, a final, unyielding decision.“No,” I had whispered, my voice echoing in the silence. “No more.”The battle lines were drawn in earnest. My reply to the settlement offer was curt, clinical—a refusal that left no room for doubt. Barr Lawn understood the stakes. He moved with precision, crafting each counter-response like a scalpel, cutting through the bluster
