Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Secrets Buried Under My House by Julian West** I slowly pushed the door to the ward open, the air thick with an unspoken tension. "Mr.
Wilson, I genuinely apologize for what transpired today," I began, my voice steady but laced with an undercurrent of unease. Alexander Wilson's gaze met mine, revealing a hint of displeasure, though it was not directed at me. "You really shouldn't be so hard on yourself, Sarah. Truthfully, if you hadn't supported Blake, I would have never even considered him for this project." He leaned back slightly, his expression softening as he continued, "You understand what I'm saying, don't you?" I felt a flicker of discomfort at his words, a reminder of the precarious position we found ourselves in.
Quickly, I pivoted the conversation to something more constructive. "To make amends for today, I've arranged a VIP suite for you. Please take the time to rest and recover. From now on, I will take charge of everything personally." I emphasized "our cooperation," hoping to instill a sense of unity amidst the chaos. Alexander nodded, a look of satisfaction crossing his features. I felt a small wave of relief wash over me. Perhaps there was still a chance to salvage this situation.

The afternoon slipped by, and just as I returned to my office, clutching the freshly signed contract, Blake and Riley made their entrance. Riley, with her innocent smile, tossed a room key onto my desk as if it were a mere trinket. "Seeing your company in distress, I took the liberty of contacting a powerful executive who might be interested in acquiring your company. If you put in the effort, you could potentially sell it for a better price," she chirped, her tone dripping with faux concern. The chill that coursed through me was instantaneous. I turned to Blake, my voice rising in disbelief.
"I'm still your legal wife! What exactly do you mean by this?!" Riley's blatant humiliation stung, yet Blake appeared unfazed. Instead, he frowned, his voice sharp as he scolded me. "You should be grateful! Riley recognized your predicament and reached out to someone on your behalf. Given the state of your company, you should consider yourself fortunate to find any buyer at all!" I couldn't help but recall the early days when we embarked on our business journey together. Blake had promised that we would run two companies side by side, always having each other's backs.
No matter the challenges we faced, we vowed never to leave one another behind. But ever since Riley had entered our lives, Blake had become increasingly distant. Now, as we teetered on the brink of disaster, he casually tossed around such hurtful words. A cold wave of despair washed over me, and I asked, "If my company faces difficulties, won't you stand by me? What happened to all those promises you made?" To my surprise, Blake's expression shifted to anger. "Sarah, so you were only with me for my money, to use me as your safety net!" His finger jabbed toward the room key on the desk.
"This is merely a business club reservation card. Do you really think Riley shares your twisted thoughts?! Besides, this is a test for you." His voice was filled with righteous indignation as he continued, "If you give it your all and still fail, then I'll help you. But unfortunately, you didn't pass my test." Without warning, he pulled out a marital property division agreement and slammed it down on the desk with a force that made me flinch. "Sign it. I'm incredibly disappointed in you!
I have no obligation to pay for your mistakes!" His intention was clear: he wanted to sever all ties between our companies. I looked at him, my heart heavy with unspoken words. "In business, fortunes are fickle. When your company collapses, don't think you can come crawling back to me." The moment I finished speaking, Riley erupted into laughter, her mirth ringing out like a cruel taunt. She collapsed into Blake's arms, her laughter echoing in the room. "You should clean up your own mess first!
I can't stop laughing-how can someone be so delusional?!" Blake joined in her mockery, a smirk plastered across his face. "You? Sarah, you're just making me laugh even harder. Sign the agreement. When you're truly destitute, I might still let you be a housewife and support you. Don't be too greedy!" My heart shattered into a million pieces at his words. Without uttering another word, I signed the agreement, my hand trembling slightly. Then, gathering my resolve, I pulled out the divorce papers, my voice steady despite the storm of emotions raging within me. "I signed yours; now you sign mine.
I hope you remember what you said today." The weight of the moment hung heavily in the air, a silence that screamed of finality. Conclusion In the aftermath of the confrontation, a profound sense of clarity settled over me. The illusion of partnership I had clung to was shattered, replaced by the stark reality of betrayal. Blake's cruel laughter echoed in my mind, a haunting reminder that the man I once trusted had transformed into a stranger, driven by ambition and the allure of power. As I stood there, divorce papers in hand, I felt an unexpected surge of strength.
I had spent far too long allowing myself to be defined by someone else's expectations and whims. This was my moment of liberation, an opportunity to reclaim my identity and forge my own path, free from the shadows of a love that had turned toxic. With each stroke of the pen, I felt the burdens of the past lifting away. I was no longer the woman who would be a silent spectator in her own life; I was stepping into my own narrative, ready to confront the challenges ahead with unwavering determination.
Furthermore, the introduction of new characters may add layers of complexity to Sarah's journey. Perhaps a mysterious mentor will emerge, offering guidance and support, or a rival will appear, threatening to undermine her efforts at every turn. As Sarah delves deeper into the corporate world, she will uncover secrets that challenge her understanding of loyalty and ambition. The question looms: will she rise from the ashes of her shattered dreams, or will the weight of her past drag her down?
Prepare for a whirlwind of emotions, revelations, and unexpected twists that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
