CHAPTER 1: Forget the lights, sweetheart

CHAPTER 1: Forget the lights, sweetheart The car pulled to a stop, and the driver turned to Sarah. “We are already here, ma'am.”Sarah nodded with a faint smile. “I have to go, Cara. I have already arrived at his place. I'll talk to you later.”“This is madness,Sarah,” she pressed further. “It would have been better to take up my offer of coming to Italy after college graduation. I have a bad feeling about this.”Cara was the only person who had ever treated Sarah with love and kindness. Cara was part Italian. They had met and become great friends in college.“Don't worry,Cara. I'll be careful. I have to go. I'll call you later. Bye.”Sarah swiftly ended the call before Cara could protest further. She was aware of the look of displeasure on the driver's face from the front mirror. She offered him a small apologetic smile and slid out of the car. No sooner had she alighted, did the car zoom off, and her attention was immediately drawn to the palatial edifice before her.Sarah swallow

CHAPTER 2: Who are you?

CHAPTER 2: Who are you?Edward stirred awake and opened his eyes, and he was confronted with brown locks that cascaded down the slender, very nude back of a woman in his arms. The room smelled heavily of sex. He quickly realised he was also naked underneath the soft silken sheets.He was momentarily confused until he remembered he had invited Veronica. The servant must have brought her to his room last night. From the state of the room and their nakedness, he knew they had had sex.His brows furrowed when she stirred and turned around, revealing her face, and it was not Veronica. Edward quickly sat up and slipped out of the bed, his mind reeling with confusion on who the strange lady who laid in his bed was. His quick movements caused her to open her eyes. Onyx eyes clashed with baby blues. Edward was quickly reminded of the vibrant light blue colour of the sky on a sunny day when he saw her eyes.“Who are you?” He thundered.Sarah froze with her eyes wide as saucers,like a deer caugh

CHAPTER 3: I'm not a whore

CHAPTER 3: I'm not a whoreSarah was confused, she had no idea of what she was talking about. She had done nothing to Veronica. Has something happened to her? “Do you know this woman, Mrs Maxwell?” He asked with his authoritative tone.Estelle bobbed her head as she wiped away her tears. “Yes. She's my stepdaughter. Her mother was my husband's mistress.” Sarah hung her head in humiliation. Edward's face darkened. “Why was the illegitimate daughter, who I had no idea existed, and never asked for, sent to me?” He barked, looking from Sarah to Estelle. He felt insulted.Estelle was scared because of the rage and authority that he radiated. She had to make sure that Sarah takes the fall.“Veronica was supposed to head out to meet you yesterday, but she was rushed to the hospital last night after she was poisoned by Sarah who wanted to be the one to marry a wealthy man.”Sarah's head quickly snapped up, her eyes wide as saucers. “What? What…what are you talking about?” she could not be

CHAPTER 4: I can take care of myself

CHAPTER 4: I can take care of myself Sarah arrived at the school premises and hurried into the large hall. A quick glance at her wristwatch told her that she had managed to arrive on time. She spotted Benicio in the front row with a camcorder in his hands, ready and waiting to record every moment of the twins' career day. Benicio Hawthorne was Cara's older brother, who had become Sarah's closest friend, ally, and confidant. He was also the owner and CEO of Soar Aviation. Sarah found out a few weeks after she left the country that she was pregnant with twins. Despite the circumstances surrounding her conception, she was overjoyed, and her children were the light of her life. Robyn Lou and Liam Asher were the greatest gifts she had ever received.Benicio turned and saw Sarah walking into the hall. He waved at her, and she waved back with that beautiful that always made his heart skip beats.“I haven't missed anything already, have i?” Sarah groaned, eyeing the stage where other chil

Chapter 5: More than a stranger

Chapter 5: More than a strangerSarah gasped softly. Despite her shock, she quickly managed to maintain a calm expression. She never expected him to be their new business partner.Edward was momentarily shocked to see the same pair of baby blues that often flashed in his mind. She looked very different. Was she the representative James was talking about? James watched Edward and Sarah curiously,he knew something was wrong when he saw their expression shift when they saw each other. He was Edward's close friend and business partner. So many pairs of eyes in the room were watching the both of them.Deciding to ease the tension, James rose to his feet. “Edward, meet Miss Sarah Tanner from Soar Aviations, our new partners. Miss Tanner, this is Edward Van Huxley, our ceo.”Edward was surprised at the change of her surname. Perhaps she was married, but there was no ring on her finger. Sarah had changed her name to her mother's maiden name, and her children bore the same name. Remembering h

CHAPTER 6: That's why you love me

CHAPTER 6: That's why you love meSarah hurried into the school premises with a lot of fear and anxiety. She would not be able to take it if anything happened to any of her babies. She almost tripped on her heels, but continued her journey to the children's classroom despite the dull ache in her ankle.“Mommy!” Robyn exclaimed as soon as she saw her mother.Sarah hastily picked up the upset child and held her to her bosom. Robyn's little sniffles reduced as she held tightly to her mother with her tiny chubby hands. Sarah gently pulled her away, and held her back to peer into her face.“Are you okay,honey? Miss Glenda called, and I was so worried. What happened?” She tenderly asked the upset little girl.Robyn rubbed at her eyes, and looked down at her hands that she was wringing together. Olivia noticed this and knew that her daughter was distressed.“Come on, baby. Talk to mommy.”“I was scared and very lonely. There are so many people, and I don't know them. Nobody in my class wants

CHAPTER 7: Are you uncomfortable being in my arms again, Miss Tanner?

CHAPTER 7: Are you uncomfortable being in my arms again, Miss Tanner? Sarah marched through the pristine hallways of Huxley Corp’s towering skyscraper, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor—though her feet ached and burned because of her sprain, and there was also an occasional falter in her strut. Her sprained ankle protested with each step, but her frustration burned hotter than the pain. She was almost seeing red. She had reckoned that it would be difficult to work with Edward, but she had not anticipated that he would begin to make things so difficult for her so early on in the project. Edward Huxley had changed the terms clearly agreed on and stated in the signed agreement between the two companies. The man who had once humiliated her and then discarded her, as if she were nothing but a piece of rag,was now ensuring that they worked under the same roof. A deliberate move. A calculated power play. It was still the same with him after all this time. Sarah ha

CHAPTER 8: Sisters reunion

CHAPTER 8: Sisters reunion.Sarah had never ever thought of crossing paths with Veronica or Estelle again. She suspected that Veronica might still be with Edward, but she didn’t care enough to verify if it were so. But seeing her there at that moment, she didn't have to, she was convinced that they might be together.Well, good for them. They were both horrible people, and they deserve each other.Veronica’s eyes darted from Sarah to Edward, then back to Sarah, her expression twisted with barely concealed rage. She could not believe her eyes. She had heard that Edward's company was partnering with another foreign company, and being the nosy, and insecure girlfriend that she was, if she could still call herself that, because Edward did not seem to be interested in her anymore for a long time.Veronica had decided to find out who the lady representative of the other company was, especially since she had heard from people that worked at Edward's company that she was very beautiful.She w

CHAPTER 9: Trapped with the press

CHAPTER 9: Trapped with the press. The Huxley-Hawthorne Partnership Gala was an event that oozed opulence. It was held in one of the most prestigious hotels in the city, and it was a spectacle of wealth, power, and carefully orchestrated appearances. The elite of the corporate world mingled under dazzling chandeliers, the clink of champagne glasses underscoring hushed conversations about business and strategy. Sarah entered the grand ballroom with effortless grace, her red evening gown hugging her body in a way that complimented and flattered her beautiful figure while commanding attention without asking for it. The slit at the side gave her just enough movement to stride across the room with confidence, though her heels still reminded her of her sprained ankle. She had taken better care of it, so it didn't hurt much anymore. As she moved through the hall, she ignored the curious glances, the murmurs. She was here for business. Not for news or speculation. Sarah suddenly m

CHAPTER 10: Too many words left unsaid

CHAPTER 10: Too many words left unsaid Sarah was walking through the quieter part of the ballroom, searching for a moment of solitude when she suddenly felt someone behind her.Her senses immediately fired up, and she turned, and collided straight into Edward.His hands came up instantly, steadying her by the waist, his grip firm, surprisingly gentle—and familiar. Too annoyingly familiar for Sarah. Flashes of that one passionate night that they spent in heat and passion flashed in both their memories.For one tense moment, they were too close. His warmth, the scent of his expensive cologne, the faint delicious smell of alcohol on his breath, and hers as well…it was a collision of past and present.Sarah’s breath caught in her throat. She was feeling things she never thought that she could ever feel.Edward didn’t let go. His arms lingered firmly around her. He remembered how she had felt his arms. Her tempting sounds of pleasure, and eager responses to his touch.It was till date,
