Sarah was a bit tired now so Richard supported her as they alighted from the car. What she initially thought to be a mere interview later turned out to be so fun. She was truly happy to see all the people that came to the office today. It was more like a social gathering of family and friends than ordinary refreshment.Mrs. Harriet and Kate were solidly behind her and gave Sarah their full support. This mattered to Sarah the most. Initially, she thought that they would not like the idea of Richard making her his director instead of choosing his only sibling, Kate and that this might cause a rift within their family. Now, she realized how wrong she was. They were not only happy that she was chosen but even came to give her their full support. She was just so lucky to be a member of this wonderful family. Sarah was all smiles as they headed inside. There was a huge object covered with a tarpaulin before them. Sarah looked up and saw this. Two bodyguards walked towards the object and c
The next day, Sarah prepared to leave for work, this time, she wasn't in a hurry. She was the director of this company now and so, she wasn't answerable to any person except the chairman of the company who happened to be her husband too. Every other person receives orders from her now. Sarah first went to the first floor to see Frank. After making sure that he was well taken care of, she left the villa in her new Ferrari.She drove into the parking lot and parked her car. When she alighted from the car, she saw some customers who parked their cars in the same parking space as hers, staring at her, awestruck. Sarah wondered why they were all staring at her. She thought briefly and realized that her car was the latest model and more expensive than every other car parked there.Sarah pretended she didn't notice their obvious gaze and walked into the mall. Sarah would have gone to her office which was located on the same floor as the CEO'S, through the private elevator but decided to se
Richard was in a meeting when his phone rang, he picked up the phone and saw the caller's ID. He ignored the call but the caller wouldn't stop calling so he blocked the line instantly.A few minutes after the meeting, his phone rang again. It was a new number so he picked the call and listened. "You don't have to block my lines, we're not enemies. I only wanted us to talk for the last time," Richard recognized the voice immediately. "There's nothing to talk about, Kimara. I'm a married man now, remember?" Richard said, his voice very cold. "If you continue to treat me like an enemy, I might as well kill myself. I can't lose my childhood friend simply because he's married. Don't you care about how I'll feel if you cut me off abruptly?" "You'll surely get a good man that will genuinely love you, Kimara," said Richard. "I know that, okay? All I ask is just to speak to my friend for the last time. I heard your wedding ceremony is coming up in
Sarah didn't care if she died or lived. She beat the traffic lights and didn't step on the break until she got to the clubhouse. She took an elevator and in no distant time, she was standing at the passage that led to Richard's private room here. Sarah didn't know whether to enter or just stand there.She knew that this would break her completely if it happened to be true that Richard was here with a woman. She really hoped that Kim was lying. Richard's personal bodyguards approached Sarah. They had been standing there even when Sarah walked in but Sarah was just too emotional to notice them. Her eyes reddened and her lips trembled when she saw them. This was actually true! He even instructed his guards to wait outside while…" Sarah broke into tears again. Some minutes later, she wiped her tears away and was determined to see Richard himself before leaving. The guards tried to stop her but couldn't. They didn't know what their master was doing with another lady inside but they knew
Two months later, Richard was in his study, flipping through his files absent-mindedly when Frank entered. Richard hadn't gone to his office since Sarah left. He looked up, pursing his lips. His sunken eyes had lost the energy and brightness in them before and he looked haggard too. "I learnt you haven't been eating nor sleeping well lately. You need to stay alive first if you hope to see Sarah again," said Frank. He had gone back to his apartment immediately after Sarah left. Sarah had called Lucy and quickly employed her to take special care of her friend before leaving the country.Richard didn't say anything. "It has been two months, man. You need to brace up and discuss with your wife," "I can't, Frank. Sarah avoided me throughout my three weeks stay in London. She wouldn't even let me talk to her. I have had several interviews with different media to exonerate myself but it seems she has deleted me from her memory and doesn't even listen to any news
Richard cast his alluring eyes on Sarah’s bare skin that glowed provocatively under the creamy sleeveless top that accentuated her flawlessness. Sarah wasn’t too sure how much of this that she could take. Her whole body shook in spite of herself under this melting gaze of Richard. His sharp nose stood pointed to the sun and fitted his firm tin lips perfectly, highlighting his charming face. His chiseled face was devoid of any expression as he casually traced the fringe of hair that escaped from the ponytail that Sarah wore. Sarah squinted as his fingers brushed pass her eyebrow. His lips curved into a seductive smile that lasted only for seconds as he whispered, “My regards to him,” he seized Sarah up and his large palm cupped a handful of her hair as her chin w
The cell phone had rung for seven consecutive times with no response. The inspector General of Police had become tired of answering calls from both familiar and strange voices pressurizing him to do something about the recent murdering of the top five politicians whose demises had brought goose pimples to the masses who now demanded for immediate reaction. The IGP was pacing up and down in his office as the land phone that rested on a brown mahogany table buzzed off. “Sir, the situation seems to be getting out of hand,” officer Kelvin who just entered said in panic. “The news has gotten to all the nooks and crannies of the country and more atrocities are still committed under the broad day light. The citizens now live with their hearts in their palms,” he added in panic. “That’s why I need all hands
“How long do you intend waiting here, detective? The man seems to be braver than we thought,” Ben said tiredly. “That is more reasons you shouldn’t allow your patience wane down, Ben. If I know all criminals well, hard drinks aren't far from their favorites. As far as I know, this shop has been rated as the best in alcoholic drinks in the market and one so close to the map I have here,” Sarah said as she disclosed the map to Ben who studied it meticulously. “This is from a reliable friend whom I have saved his ass so many times as a token of his gratitude,” “Hmm,” Ben heaved in resignation. “Then I have no option than to pin my ass here with you. But remember, detective, the men we’re hunting aren’t just ordinary men that fight with pistols and axes but dark horses if my aging brai
