"Did you ever, even once, imagine yourself loving me?" Sarah posed a hopeful question to Philip. "Don’t make me laugh, Sarah. Everything between us has been purely about pleasure and business.” Sarah had harbored feelings for Philip ever since she first saw him in a sports magazine. When his fiancée abandoned him at the altar to elope with another man, Sarah selflessly offered herself as a replacement bride to spare his embarrassment. After enduring three years of a loveless and toxic marriage, Sarah finally summoned the courage to divorce Philip, who was still pining for his former fiancée. She vowed to herself that she would find another man who would love, trust, and worship her like a queen. This is what she sought if she were to marry a second time. A year later, their paths crossed again. Philip confronted Sarah in a ladies’ restroom, demanding, “Do not let other men touch you!” Sarah remained indifferent; her demeanor noticeably changed. “And what if I do?” she retorted. Philip’s tone grew menacing, “You won’t like what I’d do.” Unfazed, Sarah shot back, “Mr. Cornell, I’ve never liked what you’ve done, even in the past. There’s nothing new about that, and please stop whining like a baby,” before turning and walking away, disdainfully leaving him behind.
View MoreSarah I'm not to blame for how the gathering mirrored the darkness of my blouse. Auntie Marietta felt embarrassed in front of her friends, and Philip's family appeared perplexed, their frustration seemingly aimed at me. I excused myself from Philip, stating, "I'll be right back; I just need to step away for a comfort room." He glanced at me, perhaps assuming I needed the restroom after indulging in so much food. "Hmm..." he murmured, nodding in understanding. Assistant Alex coincidentally messaged him, diverting my ex-husband's attention to urgent office matters. Jane's absence raised questions. Where could she be? Perhaps her flight was delayed, causing her to arrive late to the gathering. In the restroom, I checked Jakob's message. "Ten minutes, doll!" it read. I quickly shot a message to Jane, firm in my decision not to depart the gathering without catching sight of her. As I typed, my attention was drawn to my ex-mother-in-law's deliberate retreat from Auntie Mar
Sarah The corner of Auntie Marietta's lips lifted, reflecting the disdainful expression worn by my former mother-in-law as the guests cast mocking glances my way. Their evident disgust with my presence was palpable. Approaching the main stage stoically, I accepted the microphone from the speaker's outstretched hand. "Auntie Marietta, are you certain we should broach this topic?" I softly asked her, not wanting to shoulder any blame if she felt embarrassed at the end. Auntie Marietta responded with a tight-lipped smile, barely acknowledging me. It was clear they considered me nothing more than an unwelcome intruder. "It's fine, Sarah! What more could I expect from you?" Auntie Marietta retorted, her words laced with condescension. Megan and Rebecca couldn't contain their amusement at her remark. "If that's the case, why invite me at all?" I questioned bluntly, unfazed by the challenging glares directed my way. Rebecca seized the microphone from my grasp, amplifying her voice as
Sarah Philip graciously ushered me into the gathering, where all eyes immediately fixed upon me. Yet, my attention was only in one direction—the buffet! A passing waiter showcased a plate adorned with buttered lobster, its vibrant hue and alluring scent tantalizing my senses. My mouth watered at the mere thought of savoring it. "Hmm… I want that!" I exclaimed, tugging at Philip's sleeve like an eager child, pointing towards the dish. He regarded me with a knowing gaze. "Why?" I inquired. "I didn't leave you hungry at Serenity Pines, did I? If I had known you were such a lobster enthusiast, I would've brought the head chef from this restaurant to the villa," he remarked. "Tsk!" For months, I had been shackled to a restrictive diet, convinced that my heart was frail and vulnerable. However, learning this wasn't the case, I felt liberated and eager to indulge in anything I wanted! Before I could respond, my former mother-in-law appeared, accompanied by Megan. "What's she doin
Philip I'm at my wit's end. Sarah nonchalantly sipped on her milkshake, igniting an unexpected thirst within me. I want to suck my tongue inside her mouth, to taste what's inside there. Following her into the bedroom, I found remnants of the milkshake glistening on her lips, tempting me like a thief drawn to treasures. "Ehhhm!" As I indulged my desire, Sarah pushed me away with a firm rebuke, her cheeks flushed with irritation. "You're really pushing the boundaries of your lustfulness! You, pervert!" she admonished. Unable to resist, I confessed, "I can't help it. I want to taste what's within your mouth." Her cheeks reddened further as she countered, "What if it's another man's cum, huh?" Unsure how to respond to her provocative remark, I found it, blaugh, distasteful. "You mean my own?" I quipped. "Philip, you're disgusting!" Sarah's cheeks reddened further. "Are you seriously suggesting you want to taste your own... cum?" Though her words should have deterred me, the
Sarah I'm having a leisurely day here at Serenity Pines Estate. I spent some time playing "Death Marriage" on the same computer I used when Philip and I were married, reminiscing about old times in the computer and game room. If gaming didn't suit my mood, I contemplated ordering my favorite meal from Highland Hills or indulging in well-deserved rest. Today, I've chosen to take it easy, letting Philip handle his affairs while I focus on enjoying myself. There's no point in dwelling on problems that no longer concern me. As I sat in the kitchen, savoring a strawberry milkshake, the tranquility was interrupted by the arrival of Madam Cornell and Megan. Their presence didn't surprise me; it was evident they came with ill intentions, likely to stir up trouble in Philip's absence. Madam Cornell wasted no time in expressing her disdain for my presence. "You have the nerve to stay here at Serenity Pines despite no longer being married to Philip. Leave at once!" Ignoring their hostili
Sarah Philip massaged his temples, a sign of growing confusion. "Do you really believe I impregnated my secretary?" That's correct! But I'm not interested in entertaining Philip any longer. I need to distance myself from him; he and his family are giving me a headache. "Boss..." Assistant Alex murmured into my ex-husband's ear. Philip's expression soured as he absorbed the news. I was taken aback when Philip grabbed my arm, pulling me along. "Where are we going?" I asked, bewildered. Ignoring my inquiries, Philip seized my arm and led me down a narrow path flanked by dense bushes. The absence of other souls suggested seclusion. Dim lights intermittently dotted the path, casting eerie shadows. With each step, my confusion deepened, and I became clueless about Philip's destination. "Philip, what's going on? Where are we headed?" I couldn't contain my unease. "Shhh. We're at LM's Garden. Keep quiet," Philip whispered. "Not a sound, not even a rustle." His respon
Sarah Madam Cornell's hand met Philip's uncle's cheek with a resounding slap, her anger palpable as she vehemently denied his accusations. "Liar! You dare to accuse me just because you hear that I'm siding with you! Philip, didn't it even occur to you that Sarah's evidence might be fake? She's a manipulating schemer! She'll stoop to any level just to evade accountability and worm her way back into our family!" Madam Cornell's words dripped with venom as she defended herself. I could only shake my head in disbelief at her outburst. "Madam Cornell, do you think I'm a magician? Did I suddenly conjure up evidence in such a short time?" Megan stepped forward, attempting to mediate. "Philip, trust—" Philip yanked his arm away from Megan's grasp, his eyes blazing with fury. "There's a surveillance camera in that conference room. We'll eventually uncover the truth behind the evidence I presented." Philip ground his teeth as he confronted his uncle. "You're fired! You're not contr
Sarah Engaging in debates with Philip is so draining that I'd rather maintain silence. I have my workload to focus on, and I'm not up for conversing with him. Yet, upon entering Philip's private office, I was swept back in time. Memories of the betrayal resurfaced when he cheated on his secretary. 'Sara, you need to let go,' I reminded myself, attempting to purge those memories and the accompanying anguish. Seating myself on the couch opposite his expansive desk, I set up my laptop on the coffee table, focusing on anything but Philip's presence in the room. After a few minutes, Philip broke the silence. "Anything you need?" he inquired. "I need you to arrange my return to Henderson." He brushed off my request, instead instructing his assistant, "Please fetch your Madam's favorite snack." Meanwhile, a message popped up from Jakob. Jakob: So, you're planning to stay in Henderson? Me: Yes! My insane ex-husband is dead set on keeping me here. Boarding a plane feels impossible beca
Sarah Josh's face greeted me as I regained consciousness, finding myself already on the bed with the IV line removed from my arm. It hung empty, prompting my fearful inquiry, "What did you inject me with?" "It's a sedative to calm you down," Josh replied, his tone soothing yet tinged with concern. Alex stood behind him, his expression solemn, bearing witness to the tense exchange. "I sacrificed my job to save you. I hope you won't think badly of me," Josh explained earnestly. "Are you okay, Madam Sarah?" Assistant Alex interjected, unable to withstand his silence. "Leave me alone with Josh," I demanded, gaze piercing through the room, fixating on Philip's bodyguard. The assistant hesitated, apprehensive of the implications. "I can't do that! I'll be accountable to Boss Philip!" My frustration boiled over, directed squarely at Alex. "Damn you, Alex! Philip just jeopardized my life, and you dare to prioritize his demands over my safety! I have no relationship with Philip
