A Contract Marriage With My Boss - Chapter 145

He owed her the promise of a happy life. Knowing that he couldn’t keep his promise to her anymore, given that they had no future together, she wanted to go to Texas and see the tulips by herself, and then from there to the Maldives, just like they had planned before everything had fallen apart. She was going to achieve her dreams, and on the way, forgets about Charles. She wasn’t willing to live in regrets for the rest of her life.

Once the gang leader noticed that Sarah had figured out a plan, he immediately became kind to her, “Okay, you can go anywhere you want. We’ll handle all the formalities right now. You’d better leave right away and never come back. Charles can never see you again!”

Sarah was still numb but answered dazedly, “If I leave, I won’t come back. When can I go? I’ll just let my sister know, or else she’ll be worried.” Perhaps her sister was the only person who would be worried about her if she suddenly just disappeared.

“You’ll leave tomorrow. You better call your sister tonight and make sure she won’t tell Charles where you are! Otherwise… hum!” He looked at the knife in his hand in a threatening way.

“I see!” Sarah answered indifferently. She had made the final decision to leave Charles for good.

Hundreds of people were roaming at the airport. People are rushing back and forth, coming and going to places. They were all strangers to each other, but everyone had their own story to tell.

Was life just a combination of people’s stories, stories that intertwined and interacted with each other, balancing the act of life, so if one person succeeds in the so-called life, another must fail?

This seemed to be the way happiness was balanced in this world and seemed to always stay the same.

Sarah figured that her marriage failure might bring success to her sister’s marriage. Thinking this way was the only thing comforting her and distracting her misfortune. Sitting alone in the waiting area and waiting for her flight, she was completely oblivious about what her future life may hold. She felt helpless and frustrated.

She was finally leaving the bitter sea of marriage and Christina’s humiliations behind. She was finally free and wouldn’t get hurt by Charles’s inactions any longer. Although thinking about it, it seemed that there were many benefits for her in leaving, she wasn’t happy.

But did she have a choice? Happy or not, could she ever return to her former life? The answer was clear, no, she couldn’t. The only thing she could do was to leave with her wounded spirit and never come back.

Christina was a powerful and capable woman. She quickly got everything taken care of for Sarah as soon as she had reached the green light to proceed from Sarah’s kidnapper.

Without queuing or waiting in line like the rest of the passengers, Sarah was ready to leave the next morning with a million dollars having been transferred into a secret bank account in Switzerland in Sarah’s name. All she had to do was go there and draw the money from there, or gradually transfer it into her personal bank account.

While Sarah waited at the airport, the two gang members watched her from afar, ensuring that she would board the plane. They had been instructed by Christina to stay until Sarah’s plane was safely in the air to ensure her compliance.

Sarah herself didn’t care whether she was guarded or not, she had no intention to stay. After all the disappointments she had lived through in her marriage, she didn’t look forward to anything and had nothing keeping her here any longer.

From now on, her only goal would be to forget about Charles and restart her life just as if she had never met him. Sitting there, completely emerged in her own thoughts, she suddenly overheard the news being reported on TV in front of her. She heard Thomas’s company being mentioned.

Since the airport was bustling with busy travelers and the volume of the TV was low, she barely heard the words “Mr. Thomas” and “company” among other words.

She looked up to watch the TV and saw many cars, policemen and journalists gathered around. The policemen were arresting her kidnappers, who were trying to hide their faces from the reporters and leading them to their car one by one. Sarah recognized the abandoned warehouse where she had been held captive on TV.

Seeing this, Sarah suddenly stood up. Curious to understand what was happening, she walked closer to the TV and listened. The reporter was now facing the Camera and relating the story. “Christina Smith, the recently widowed and co-owner of the Thomas company, is suspected of being involved with gang members, smuggling, and human trafficking.”

Suddenly Sarah saw Charles arrive, and a group of reporters gathered around him, bombarding him with questions about what was going on, but Charles remained silent and quickly walked over to the police where the reporters could not reach him.

The airport noise prevented Sarah from understanding the rest of the report being broadcasted. Trying hard to understand what was being said, the news report was suddenly interrupted by an advertisement about skin care products.

Wanting to know more, Sarah went to the next TV hoping to find out more, but none of the other TV’s were broadcasting news. Desperate to know more, she needed to get out of the airport to find out more.

The men guarding here were unaware of the current situation and tried to stop her when they saw her walking toward the exit. “Ms. Sarah, where do you think you’re going? Your flight is about to take off, are you planning to make a run for it?”

“I want to see the news, I want to see the news. Please let me go! All I want is to see the news!”

Frustrated, one of them responded.. “If you don’t go back, I will be forced to misbehave with you! You promised that you’d leave if we let you go. Now that everything has been finalized, we have clear instructions to not let you back down on your deal!”
