Lahat ng Kabanata ng Contract With The Ex That Left Me: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

NATHANIEL STORMWhile I was unable to erase the intense yet short conversation with that strange man who thought threatening Sarah was some sort of power move, what Amir just said made my head spin. It was not what I was expecting to hear. My hands falling to hold my waist, I shifted closer and asked, “Missing how?”‘According to the call, one of the nurses went to check on her about thirty minutes ago, but her room was empty. She’s still missing.’“What about my father? Isn’t he there?” I asked as I took Sarah’s phone from her hand so her arm wouldn’t hurt. ‘They said he left about two hours ago.’Oh, that freaking cheat. He just had to crawl back to that woman, didn’t he? “I still don’t understand,” I gulped while a little frown formed because I was indeed trying to understand his statement, “how on earth did she go missing from the hospital? Did she wake up and walk out by herself?”‘No, she didn’t. The hospital needs you to come in before they take further action. They tried r

ROSALINE PIERCE“Do you think she’s playing a game with us?” I deliberated as Edward sank into his chair after his call with Nathaniel, who informed him that his wife was missing. “Maybe she planned this to fuck us up.”“I think the same,” he answered, but the weakness in his voice suggested otherwise.I then hurried to his side. “You have to stay calm, baby. I’m sure she’s fine.”“I don’t care if she’s fine or not.” He looked up at me as I perched on the arm of the sofa. “There’s something important I need to get from her. I have been trying to get my hands on it for ages. I bet she’s hiding it somewhere close. But I don’t know where.”“Maybe I can help you look for it.”He hissed in refusal as he wrapped his hands around my waist. “It’s not easy to find. Don’t stress yourself. But this is bad. Now that Eve is missing, how do we pin the accident on Sarah’s blabber mouth?”“We can still blame her in other ways,” I said with a little smirk.“What does that even mean, Ro-Ro?” he asked,

SARAH PIERCEOne of the items I specially brought with me during the move back to this city was the receipts detailing all the payments I made to Lord Byron following the debt I took from him. Taking that loan was easily one of the worst decisions I took in my life, and now that I’m looking at the receipts and computing to ensure that I was indeed not owing anybody shit, my head keeps recalling everything that happened after I helplessly approached Lord Byron for a loan. One day, about seven months into my pregnancy, I had just gotten back from the hospital, where they insisted that they needed to make payment for them to register me so that I could be attended to swiftly because my delivery day was approaching.I tried winging the whole thing by hopping from hospital to hospital. But when it got to a point, everyone was saying the same thing. One even said, if I’m brought in impromptu while in labour, I would make larger payments if I wasn’t registered with them. After scraping wh

SARAH PIERCE“She’ll deny it for sure,” spat the woman next to me.I ignored her and asked the principal. “What do you mean by that?”“According to Mrs. Ford here, during playtime, Raya pushed Brady, and when he resisted, she scratched his face.”“You…” I tried not to point at the boy. “You are saying Raya did that to his face?”“Are you deaf?” Brady’s mother angrily asked. “Your naughty child tortured mine. Why bother putting your child in school if you’ve failed to train her well? Now she’s a terror to other children. What if my Brady ended up with worse injuries? Thank God I came to drop off his lunch when I did. If not, I wouldn’t have known. Principal Gordon, you need to train your staff better. Miss Sunshine left the children to use the toilet. What kind of incompetence is that? Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I will gather the parents, and we will deal with this. Her mother clearly doesn’t care about raising her well.”“Mrs. Ford, please, try to stay calm,” the principal cajoled wh

SARAH PIERCEIsn't it quite sad yet funny that today, both Nathaniel and I have cried?We are certainly not beating the soulmates' allegations that you may think we have.After he silently cried while hugging me more and more with his gentle strength, we went to sit under one of the large, flowery trees in the compound. “Where is Raya?” he asked, his voice low.“With Mr. Ray.” A part of me hoped that Mr. Ray was not a terrible person because I’m usually worried that something might go wrong if I leave my baby around grown men. If she hadn’t been sleeping, I would have left the car with her. “He picked you up?”“Something like that.” He doesn’t need to know about what happened today. His mother’s death is enough of a burden. “What happened to her?” I finally asked after seconds of silence had passed. “It is still unclear,” he replied while reaching for my hand. “She was found in her room this morning. They killed her before bringing her here.” He pushed out his breath heavily. “I
