CHAPTER 41— Preparations and Paths AligningMr. Salvador leaned back slightly in his chair, his fingers resting calmly on the armrest as he studied Sarah with quiet approval. The office was calm, the early afternoon sun filtering through the tall windows and casting soft shadows across the polished floor.“Sarah,” he said gently but firmly, “within the next week, we will need a manager to oversee the NGO we support.”Sarah straightened in her seat immediately. Her hands, which had been resting neatly on her lap, tightened slightly.“An NGO manager, sir?” she asked, making sure she had heard him correctly.“Yes,” he replied. “It is a sensitive role. This NGO deals directly with vulnerable communities, donations, outreach programs, and accountability. There will be meetings, clarifications, learning sessions, and important decisions to make — especially regarding the donations we plan to support them with this year.”He paused, letting his words sink in before continuing.“I want you in

CHAPTER 43 — The Girl Who StayedThe school infirmary was quiet, except for the low hum of the ceiling fan and the faint smell of antiseptic that hung in the air. Sunlight filtered through the half-open blinds, casting pale stripes across the tiled floor.Tom lay unconscious on the narrow infirmary bed.His small body looked fragile under the thin white sheet, his chest rising and falling steadily but slowly. A small bandage was wrapped around his forehead where he had been hurt when he fell. To Sarah, it felt unbearable to see her son like this — so still, so silent.She stood beside the bed, holding his hand tightly, afraid that if she let go, something worse might happen. Her heart pounded loudly in her ears, replaying the call from the school over and over again.Your son has been involved in an accident.The words still echoed painfully in her mind.Sitting quietly on a chair close to Tom’s bed was a young girl. She looked to be about Tom’s age, dressed neatly in her school unifo

CHAPTER 45 — The Silence Before the SurpriseThe office was unusually quiet that afternoon.Sunlight streamed through the tall glass windows, resting softly on Sarah’s desk where stacks of documents lay neatly arranged. She sat upright, focused, flipping through pages with careful attention. Since taking on the role, she had thrown herself into work completely — not because she was trying to impress anyone, but because she genuinely cared.This job mattered.She underlined a line on one document, made a note, then reached for another file. Time slipped past unnoticed.A soft knock interrupted her concentration.“Knock, knock.”Sarah looked up. “Come in.”The door opened, and Mr. Salvador stepped inside. His presence always carried calm authority, and today was no different. His eyes moved briefly over the papers spread across her desk.“You’re working too hard,” he said gently.Sarah stood up immediately. “Oh, Mr. Salvador, you should have just sent for me. You didn’t need to come you

CHAPTER 47 — A Family in One MomentFor a few seconds after Sarah said yes, time seemed to pause.Then everything came alive.Soft applause rose from around them — staff, witnesses, and a few close friends Mr. Salvador had quietly arranged to be present. Smiles, murmurs of congratulations, quiet gasps of joy filled the garden space.James cupped Sarah’s face gently, his eyes shining. “You just made me the happiest man alive.”She laughed through her tears. “You already were.”He leaned in, slow and certain, and kissed her. It wasn’t rushed or hungry — it was full, steady, and real. The kind of kiss that spoke of promises instead of passion alone.“Eww!” Tom suddenly shouted.They pulled apart laughing just as Tom covered his face dramatically with both hands. “You’re embarrassing me!”Everyone burst into laughter.James bent down immediately. “You’re the one who told me to do it.”Tom peeked through his fingers, grinning. “Still embarrassing.”Sarah wiped her tears, laughing freely no

CHAPTER 49— When Joy Became a TargetBy the next morning, the world was buzzing.News outlets, blogs, television stations, and social media platforms all carried the same headline—splashed boldly across screens and pages:FAMOUS DOCTOR AND BUSINESS TYCOON JAMES SALVADOR PROPOSES TO HIS GIRLFRIENDPhotos from the night before flooded the internet. James on one knee, his eyes full of certainty. Sarah, stunned and trembling, her hands covering her mouth as tears streamed down her face. The diamond ring catching the soft glow of candlelight. Tom clapping excitedly beside them. Grandpa Salvador standing proudly in the background.It was everywhere.Commentators talked endlessly about the “mystery woman” who had captured the heart of one of the richest men in town. Some called it a fairytale. Others praised James for choosing love over status. Many admired Sarah’s quiet grace, her simple elegance, her warmth.But not everyone smiled at the news.Janice stared at the newspaper in her trembli
