Flashback:
“You are going abroad with Cathy.” These words were akin to a bomb drop for Sarah. He was sending her away from him. Why? Did she annoy him? Was he going to give up on her just like her father did? How can he do this?
All types of thoughts roamed in Sarah’s mind when she heard those words from Christian. He was sending her away. Why? Is it because he found out that she liked him?
“No", Sarah replied determinedly. She didn’t want to leave. She didn’t want to go away from him. She promised herself to always stay by his side.
Christian looked at her and said, “It wasn’t a question. It was an order. Now go and pack your things. You are leaving first flight tomorrow.” After saying what he wante
Around 6:30 in the morning, Sarah's eyes fluttered open. It took her eyes some time to adjust to the light. After a while, her eyes returned to normal, and she looked at the ceiling above her. At first, she was confused when she saw that the color of her ceiling has changed. Just then, she felt a hand snaking around her waist. Widening her eyes, Sarah turned to look beside her when her eyes directly met with Christian's. She was shocked, and yesterday's acts started flowing in her mind. She hurriedly sat up wanting to run away from there, but Christian pulled her back. Before she could speak something, Christian's mouth covered hers stuffing her words back into her mouth. He bit her lips hard which made Sarah hiss. "What? Are you trying to run away after the deed is done, Sarah?" Christian asked in a cold voice. Sarah started becoming flustered at his words. She did want to run away, but how could she answer him directly? She was afraid that he would ki
Reaching the room, Christian found Sarah was already asleep. He smiled, feeling warm in his heart. Finally, they were together in the same room, sharing the same bed.He walked to the bed and woke her up. "Sarah, come sit up. Have breakfast."Sarah whined at him for disturbing her. She kept on lying on the bed without caring for Christian. She was too tired to sit up, and it was all because of certain someone.Christian was also feeling a bit of guilt for tiring her out. But he did that because she wanted to run away from him. "Come on, let me feed you, okay?" Saying that, he sat next to her and sat her up. He made her lean against his chest and brought the milk near her mouth.Even though Sarah didn't want to be feed by him, she took a sip as she was so hungry. So, she started eating whatever he fed her. After a while, Sarah was full and shook her head, not wanting to eat anymore."Just one more bite, just one" Christian fe
Returning to the mansion, Sarah went to Catherine and said, “Cathy, I have something very important to tell you.” She was going to tell her that Christian knew about their plan.Catherine thought that Sarah was going to tell her about yesterday, so she excitedly asked, “What is it?”Sarah went on, “Cathy, your brother….. He knows everything. About our plans- why we returned here, everything.”Catherine was shocked. She never expected that her brother would find out everything so soon. It took her a while to speak. “But how? Do our team have a mole? Also, how did you find out about it? My brother told me he had something to talk to me about earlier. Could it be about this?”“Calm down, Cathy.” Sarah continued, “I asked him yesterday when he was drunk. I think we miscalculated something before coming here.”Catherine gazed at her with a questioning look.“Yest
It was evening. Both the siblings prepared themselves for the talk that was going to take place.Around 6, Christian reached the mansion. When he didn’t see Catherine and Sarah in the hall, he directly walked to the study room. The girls were already seated there. Glancing at them, Christian directly walked to the head chair and sat there. Between these, no words were exchanged between them.The environment turned solemn. Sarah glanced at the brother-sister duo and decided to excuse herself from there first. She had just stood up when Christian asked her, “What are you doing?” Catherine also looked at her confused.Feeling glared from both of them, Sarah couldn’t speak properly. She pointed at the door signaling that she was going out.&ldqu
“What are you doing here?” Catherine asked Evan.Evan smiled at her and patted her head. “Of course, to accompany my to-be wife.”Catherine blushed at his words, while Christian glared at him.“Have you done enough?” Christian lashed out at Evan. He just could not tolerate that guy's lecherous gaze at his sister.Evan chuckled at his words. “Why? Are you jealous? Brother, you should learn from me how to impress your girl. Otherwise, she will run away from you soon.” Completing his sentence, Evan glanced at Sarah for a second.Even though the glance was only for a second, Sarah clearly noticed it. Her face turned red.Chri
Sarah was stunned. What? Change here? In front of him?Thinking of it, her face started to turn red."N... No, it's okay. I will be done in a second." Sarah stuttered and wanted to walk into the bathroom."You didn't hear me? Or do you want me to help you change? Actually, I like you the most when you don't wear anything. So, just drop the idea of changing. Let's go." Christian interrupted her."Huh?" Sarah looked at him with eyes widened. How can he say those words with an expressionless face?"It's okay. I will change, change here."Quickly looking at her surrounding, Sarah's eyes lit up with an idea. She walked behind the curtain and started changing there. That way, even if she was changing in front of him, he cannot see her.On the other side of the curtain, Christian continued staring at her figure. Though he could not see her body, he could still make out the figure from the shadow. His adam's apple bobbed up and do
Catherine continued bombarding Evan with messages. Evan could not bear it anymore, so he directly called her. At the very first ringtone, Catherine picked up the call. Even then, before Christian could speak, Catherine continued her chattering. "Why didn't you reply? Do you know how worried I got? By the way, did you read the message I sent earlier? About my brother and Sarah? Hey, why aren't you speaking?" From the other side came Evan's sigh. "Did you even let me speak?" Catherine bit her lips when she realized that she indeed didn't let him speak. "Ok, ok. You speak then. I will listen." "Did you call me this late-night to tell me about your brother and your friend?" came Evan's exasperated voice. He couldn't believe her. She was disturbing him this late-night just to talk about that? Catherine replied back instantly, "What? Aren't you curious about them too? See, they have already to that step. But what about us? We have known each other e
Evan was greeted by the shareholders as soon as he entered his office. He already knew that they were going to be there because of false information circulating around.Among the shareholders, there was an old man with the surname Vitale. He was Evan’s one of the granduncles. And Evan knew that he was already supporting Hong Clan. That granduncle would act nice and caring in front of him but was backstabbing him. Evan knew of all those things but still kept him by his side to use him later.And finally, today was the time.He walked to the head chair as if he was worried about nothing and sat there. The shareholders were irked by his nonchalant attitude. They started complaining as soon as he took his seat.Evan let them speak as they wanted. He didn’t even listen to them and was just scrolling his cell phone. Seeing his action, the shareholders now started scolding him instead of complaining.Finally, after five more minutes, Evan put
