SADIEThis son of a bitch! He thought I was still the same naive girl he married weeks ago. He might have saved me from my family, but that didn’t give him the right to ditch me whenever he wanted or take me when it felt right for him. “I came here to apologize.” He looked surprised. His dick was hard, but who cared about it right now? I was just unprepared, and it was prominent. “Well, I don’t give a crap of your damn apology. I want you to listen to me, husband. You don’t get to leave because you are pissed off of something or because a lot is going on on your plate right now. I deal with a lot of pressure every day too, but I have never treated someone terribly because I feel my world is about to be doomed. And may I remind you if in case it slips your mind. You are the one who told me that we’re in this together. Either we are, or we are not. That’s the only choice you’ve got.” His jaw was set hard. He was about to say something, but I knew what it was. “Very well then. The l

SADIE So I finally planned to go home. As much as I loved how luxurious my stay in the hotel suite, I missed home.I still found the house empty, our bedroom untouched. Cenric was right. He was out for the weekend. Even if it was Sunday, he hadn’t come back yet. So I spent the whole day sleeping and sulking.Lately, I didn’t feel like talking. I could barely eat. Cenric’s out for the weekend had affected me more than I realized. He called me once, maybe by mistake—if he intended to talk to me, he would have called back. It didn’t happen.I checked out our website, which just launched last Friday. We had reached ten thousand visits so far. My team planned on social media advertisement, boosting our exposure, and making a big deal if successful.So far, I have loved my work. The ideas we shared during the meeting were enlightening. Now, with the help of Wollf Corporation, we got a few clients li

SADIE “Are you sure we are in the right place? That doesn’t look like an FBI building.” I looked at the three-story building through the window. The car entered into a somewhat parking area. I was still shaking earlier. If it wasn’t for these two who assured me that Cenric was fine, I might have lost my freaking mind. Linden opened the door. “This is the address in the text. Probably an FBI black site.” I climbed down, rubbing my arms. The hair at the back of my neck just rose. “What if he’s a bad guy and tries to lure us out then kill us all?” “We came ready. Just in case. Stay behind us.” Devin covered me while Linden was already ahead of us. “Are you even allowed to bring a gun?” “Yeah. I am trained and employed as a private contractor.” I stared up at him. “Just making sure we are not going to be in trouble. Is Cenric really okay?” “There’s only one way to find out,” he answered with confidence while

SADIE  “No, no, no. Not today. I can’t take any more truth. My brain would explode.” I was shaking. I was shivering not from the water in the tub but from the uncertain situation I was in. I didn’t know my place anymore—where I fit in.I was lost. I was still processing those truths that blew in my face. Nothing had sunk in yet. I was on the verge of denial because that was impossible. It couldn’t be.Cenric couldn’t do that. He was not the kind of man I married months ago. He wouldn’t sacrifice something for the dead woman. He wouldn’t save me. What he said was a lie.I pulled my knees together as I shook to cry in bed. He came closer to me.“I wanna be alone.” I stopped him.“Babe.”“Please?”Somehow he did as I requested. He walked away and left the room.I cried there alone in the dark until I felt I h

SADIE   I got ready and called Devin to prepare the car. I walked into the library, and Cenric was in a phone conversation. “Just keep me posted. I awe you big time.” “Can we talk?” I started. After noticing me in an outfit and a bag in my hand, he gestured for me to sit. “You don’t have to ask. Going somewhere?” I forced a smile. “I need space.” “Excuse me?” Judging by the look on his face, he wasn’t expecting it, but somehow, he understood. I’d thought about it lately. This is the only way I could save our marriage if he wanted it to. I needed to clear my head because I wanted to build that trust again. I needed to find myself—where did I fit in all of this. “I want to stay at the penthouse for a while.” “And me?” “Here.” “And us?” I looked at him in disbelief. “I said I need space, and that space—” “I know what space means.” He cleared my throat and somehow
