All Chapters of The Unwritten Vow : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Sarah stirred awake, her body sinking into the plush mattress beneath her. The warmth of the silk sheets wrapped around her, unfamiliar yet undeniably comforting. For a fleeting moment, she forgot where she was. But her eyes fluttered open, the realization hit her, this wasn’t her tiny apartment. She sat up, glancing around her room. It was far bigger than anywhere she had lived. The high ceilings, intricate moldings, and floor to ceiling windows made it feel more like a hotel suite not a bedroom. A grand chandelier hung overhead, sparkling even in the daylight. Everything about this place screamed wealth. Her fingers unconsciously curled around the fabric of her nightwear. This is my new home, she reminded herself.She had moved into Elliott’s mansion yesterday, stepping into a world of wealth and grandeur that was nothing like the life she had known. Taking a deep breath, she pushed aside the covers and slipped out of bed, her back feet meeting the cool marble floor. A glance at

Sarah gripped the steering wheel, her fingers tightening unconsciously as she drove through the city streets. She had no real destination in mind. After losing her job abruptly this morning, she wasn’t ready to go home just yet. The mansion felt suffocating at times, too grand and too empty when Elliott wasn’t there.She let out a long sigh as she glanced at the passing buildings. The weight of the past month pressed down on her shoulders, making her feel as though she was carrying a burden too heavy to bear. Everything had changed so quickly, and she barely had time to process it all.As she drove past a small, familiar café, she made an impulsive decision and pulled into the parking lot. It was a quaint little coffee shop she used to frequent before everything in her life had spiraled out of control.The moment she stepped inside, the scent of freshly brewed coffee filled her senses, bringing a slight comfort. She walked toward the counter, ordering her usual drink, before scanning

As Sarah opened the large, double-door freezer, a gust of cold air brushed against her skin. Her eyes widened at the sight before her, neatly arranged rows of premium ingredients, each wrapped in pristine packaging. There were fresh salmon fillets, marbled Wagyu beef, imported truffles, an assortment of cheeses, and even delicate cuts of foie gras. Luxurious seafood like lobster tails and Alaskan king crab rested on trays of ice, while neatly labeled containers of exotic spices and condiments lined the shelves.Sarah stood frozen in place, overwhelmed. Growing up in an ordinary home, her meals had always been simple and practical. She knew how to cook basic dishes like stir-fried vegetables, noodles, porridge, and the occasional homemade stew, but nothing even remotely close to what was stored here. She had never even seen some of these ingredients in person before.Her fingers hovered over a package of steak, then over the fresh pasta, but she hesitated. How was she supposed to cook

Sarah was about to step out of the house when Elysia suddenly appeared beside her, arms crossed and a determined look on her face."I'm coming with you," Elysia announced.Sarah blinked in surprise. "You're also looking for a job?"Elysia scoffed. "Of course not. I just want to tag along for fun."Sarah couldn’t help but be amused. Rich people were truly different. Here she was, struggling to find work, while Elysia treated job hunting like an entertaining outing."Let's go!" Elysia looped her arm through Sarah’s, her warmth and enthusiasm making it impossible to refuse. Sarah had always believed that rich young ladies were arrogant, spoiled, and cruel, just like Chloe. But Elysia was nothing like that. She was warm, straightforward, and surprisingly easy to be around.As they walked toward the car, Elysia’s eyes landed on the sleek vehicle parked in the driveway. She tilted her head. "Is this the car my brother gave you?"Sarah nodded."It seems my brother cares more than he lets on.

During their journey to The Grand Royale Hotel, Sarah felt a growing sense of helplessness. Though Elliott had given her a job, she had no idea what her role truly entailed. She had followed him out without understanding her position.Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she turned to him. “What exactly is my job, Elliott?”He spared her only a brief glance before answering, “Personal secretary. Salary: Fifty thousand dollars.”Sarah's breath hitched. Fifty thousand dollars?Her heart pounded as she processed the amount. She had worked at a major company before, but her salary had never come close to that figure.However, her excitement quickly faded. She knew the money wasn’t because of her skills or experience, it was because of Elliott. Once again, she was dependent on him.Elliott noticed her hesitation. His brows furrowed. “Not enough?”She immediately shook her head. “No, it’s enough.”Sarah exhaled, turning her gaze to the window as the car continued its journey.After
