Forced Marriage To The Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 45

AUTHOR’S POV

Silas really left.

Sara thought about this for the whole night as she sat on the couch in the living room waiting for him to come back.

He never returned.

So, it meant he really left. He was not throwing an angry tantrum.

Sara was supposed to feel happy or at least relieved, but she felt anxious instead.

Where was he? Where did he go? What was he doing? These questions kept her mind occupied all the time.

When morning sun began shining in the sky, she got ready to go to the office, hoping that Silas would eventually come back.

When she reached her own office, there was media blocking the entrance everywhere.

Camelia had really caused some major problems for everyone. Sara was supposed to be happy about this too but she felt too numb.

For her whole life, she had wanted to see them all crumbling down one after another and when one of them was down, knocking over the biggest support pillar, she didn’t feel anything at all.

Finding her way inside the building with difficulty, Sara met Liam who was waiting for her.

“ What is it, Liam? ” Sara questioned him, absentmindedly.

“ A huge scandal. The shares have dropped. We are in crises. The only thing which can revive everything for us is the Alexander Construction project Ma’am. ” Liam repeated the same lines which Rowan had told him earlier.

“ I know, Liam. ” Sara shrugged off and walked past him to go to her office.

“ Alexanders are threatening to cancel the deal because they don’t trust us anymore. ” Liam revealed further and Sara’s feet froze on their spot.

She whipped her head around. Was she supposed to feel happy or angry about it? She didn’t know.

She didn’t want this Lexington Group of Companies to go down like this. She wanted this Corp to reach it’s peak before dropping to the ground so all the Lexington family could feel the pain in their bones. If this corp. goes down now, Lexingtons would still live in luxury and harmony and Sara didn’t want things to go like this.

“ Fix a meeting wit- ” Sara started but Liam cut her off. “ The meeting is already set. You have to meet Albert Alexander in an hour. ”

“ Albert Alexander… ” Sara whispered the name to herself. He was the one who took Alexanders to this height today.

Albert Alexander hardly ever met anyone and made appearance anywhere. Why would he meet with Sara? She wondered.

Was there something wrong with that mysterious CEO? Mr. Devil…

She should have at least asked his name when she met him but a person who never let her see himself would never tell her, His name.

“ Okay. Prepare whatever is needed. ” Sara stated in a trance and went to her office.

As she found herself in the confines of her office, she breathed out. Her mind began thinking about Silas all over again.

She took out her phone from her bag and checked the notifications. He never called her or texted her. She looked up at the ceiling, closing her eyes.

Should she text him and ask if he was okay? She bit her lower lip thinking about this.

She sighed out tiredly and threw her phone back in her bag before heading out of her office.

What was she even doing in there? She didn’t need anything from there. Sara’s mind was not working properly, she concluded and went back down where Liam was, once again, waiting for her arrival.

Taking him with her, she went to the Alexander Constructions.

Fortunately, they were on time.

Just as they came here, Mr. Daniels met them again and took them to the top floor where she had met that Devil.

This time, an old man was sitting in that conference room and the whole room was lit.

“ Sara Lexington. ” The old man took her name as soon as he saw her and Sara gulped down her saliva.

“ Sara Alexander, Sir. ” Sara corrected him impulsively, but when she realized what she just did, a cold wave of shock hit her.

“ Hmmm. ” Albert Alexander hummed thoughtfully and signaled from his hand for her to take a seat.

She was impulsive and she didn’t know how to differentiate between a friend and a foe. She was bad when it came to emotions too.

Perhaps, she was like this because of what Silas told him…Vengeance.

Her world revolved around power and Vengeance, that’s why she was not wise.

Sara blinked her eyes in confusion. One time. Two time. Three time.

Why was Albert Alexander asking her such strange questions? She wondered…

“ No. I don’t want to know him personally… ” Sara told him the truth with the hint of a lie. She wanted to know him because she was curious but she didn’t want to give anyone…The wrong idea.

“ Why? ” Grandfather Albert lifted his eyebrows and the wrinkles beside his eyes stretched.

“ Because… ” Sara took some time to think about it.

When she finally decided to speak, it was surely impulsive. She spoke what she wanted to say for the first time. Honestly.

“ Because I am not interested. I am married, Sir. I am not interested in any other man. ”

Grandfather Albert finally let the smile appear on his lips.

He was reassured now. She was the girl for his grandson, but they both were too stubborn to admit it.

She was ready to accept her marriage in Silas’s absence but she was never ready to accept it before him. It was her pride and ego.

These games needed to end between them now so they could learn to trust each other.

“ You are good to go Sara. The project is all yours. ” Grandfather Albert stated with a kind smile and Sara mirrored his smile.

“ But you have to meet my Grandson once. ” He added, causing Sara’s smile to fall.

“ You both need to know each other. ”
