All Chapters of Chained By Guilt: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sarah's heart was literally in her hands, she could feel it on the verge of bursting from her own grasp. If only she had stood her ground or followed Chelsea's idea of not answering the call."Hey, I am talking to you!" Penelope yelled."Penelope, what are you doing here?" Ezra spoke up.Penelope rolled her eyes and turned in Sarah's direction."You are still seated, you stupid bi**tch!" She charged at her.Sarah quickly ducked her hands over her head."I dare you to touch her!" Ezra pushed on the table with his wheelchair. Penelope froze, her breath ragged."I called her here for work," Ezra stated.Sarah slowly lifted her head, her brows tilting in shock."Work!" Penelope yelled. "Work! in a fancy restaurant and having a stupid dinner!"Ezra glared and pointed at the side of Sarah's table."Does she look like she is having dinner with me?" he asked.Penelope looked at Sarah's side and noticed there was only a purse and a glass of wine."When you dine and have dinner with stupid pho

The morning came with Sarah's eyes swollen from staying awake the whole night thinking about the list she was tasked with writing.A weapon that she knew he was going to use against her. Before heading for bed, she had innocently asked Chelsea what things the CEOs did to their secretaries in novels, and the answers had left her numb and defeated.All the things she listed were so sexual that her face was left peach red and her legs trembling.There was no way Ezra would cross that line; she kept comforting herself. But the reality was that he was going to run out of the nasty things to request so soon the sexual demands would kick in. It was very common for women to quit their jobs due to sexual advances from their bosses. The question that was on her mind was whether she would allow him to touch her. She had programmed herself to go through all the sh*t he would throw at her; she never thought it would turn sexual.She got off the bed and stared at the white, plain paper. She neede

After her sick days expired, Sarah returned to work, but Ezra was nowhere to be seen. She wasn't supposed to walk into his office and check if he was inside or not, but she was hoping for a call from him.She hadn't slept for two days, and Ezra didn't call or inquire about the list so when she went back to work, she anticipated him to be waiting for her. However, he wasn't.She sat at her desk the whole day without seeing or hearing from him, not even a call.Out of patience, she stood up and made her way to Ezra's door. She was now worried but stopped midway, her heart beating fast. She had to consider the chance that Ezra might play cruel tricks, so she turned, grabbed her purse, and walked out.On second thought, she made the decision to call Liam and inquired whether he was at his office.She hung up after saying, "Okay, I'm on my way."She went to his office, ignoring peering eyes. She had grown accustomed to the looks people gave her and the gossip Joyce was spreading about her

Ezra sat in his Jet, going through photos of Sarah and Liam at the fundraiser. Then photos showing her with George Krisinky having a Chinese dinner.He tossed his phone away, irritated. He left the country for two stupid days, and the brainless woman was already all over men.It was like she was intentionally trying to piss the living daylights out of him. He clenched his hand, breathing heavily, but on second thought, he picked up his phone and dialed her number.Sarah, who was busy enjoying the night and the Chinese food, paused. Her heart stopped, and the chopsticks in her hand dropped to the table."Is there a problem?" George asked, worried."Sorry, George, I have to go. It's an emergency," she lied, getting up.Her eyes kept darting around as if she was a thief caught red handed.George got up too. "Okay, I can take you," he offered, but Sarah was already at the door."It's fine, I will call you tomorrow," she said, running off before he could get a chance to respond.She was al

Liam kept quiet, he was supposed to be jumping on the wagon and fighting to be in charge of the project, but to Ezra's surprise, the lazy big mouth was quiet."What are you going to do?" he asked, instead."What do you advise?" Ezra asked, surprising him.Liam smiled. "I thought you said you were in charge," he countered, getting up.He was in a dilemma, Vogue was going to raise their rates, but he needed Penelope if he was ever going to get the fully furnished top office with a private elevator."I will go and talk to Penelope; for now, do not tell Sarah anything," he said, walking out of the room.He went straight for his office and found Penelope throwing and kicking at anything in her way."Hey, calm down!" he asked her."Why the fuck did you give that girl the stupid dress?" she yelled.Liam rubbed his temple, he had no answer to the question. His intention was to have some fun with his brother's secretary and make Ezra pissed."I will not help you get this stupid company if that
