"I just never imagined that he would...""I know. I understand." Zayn smiled. "You are not in love with Nigel, and you most certainly wouldn't fall in love with me either. Sabrina, trust me when I say I have no intention of making you fall in love with me. I am the one who has been charmed helplessly by you and so, I am willing to do anything for you. Rest assured, I will never do anything to harm you or force you into doing what you are not willing to, ever.""Thank you, Zayn. I will take care of you," Sabrina promised, in tears. She was a woman of her words and for the rest of Zayn's time spent in the hospital, she never once left his side. Sabrina had also tossed his phone away as he requested. Even so, when Zayn was finally discharged a month later, they found it.A few men surrounded them by the entrance of the hospital and dragged them towards their vehicle. The two were helpless, Zayn barely recovered from his injury and Sabrina being pregnant. They were thrown into a black
Five years later.The rays of setting sun in the evening shone on Sabrina's slim figure, coating her in the golden light. She was wearing an overall with safety helmet on her head, occupied in commanding the progress at the construction site."Madam Scott, I am amazed by just how effective your proposal is. Our expenses for this batch were significantly reduced in comparison to previous batches and the quality of the materials we are using are much better too. The configuration is simply far too thought-out to be sold at this price. I heard that a lot of the apartments had been sold to owners that had high praise for the design and materials," said the constructor gratefully to Sabrina."Manager Ward, you shouldn't have to call me that. I am no professional architect. Just call me Sabrina." Sabrina smiled gently in return."Heavens no! Madam Scott, you might not have the title of an architect, but your abilities have spoken for itself and proven you more than worthy of the title. E
Zayn never attempted to force his way into a relationship with Sabrina. The two treated one another like they would their siblings. As time went by, the bond they shared developed into one that they would have considered each other like siblings by blood, with Sabrina's daughter also considering Zayn as her uncle. Four years slipped by and their lives had been peaceful. Sabrina would come home every evening to take care of Zayn. She would help him into the house and set the bed for him, before heading out to fetch her daughter from the kindergarten. Usually, her daughter would accompany her uncle as she headed back to the construction site and worked until half past six. But as she had just finished helping Zayn into the house, her phone rang."Hello? Miss. Wals?" The call was from her daughter's teacher at the kindergarten."Mrs. Scott, you need to get here this instant. Your daughter was in a fight with one of her classmates again!" Miss. Wals requested, her tone impatient."Oh, o
The obese man turned around to face Sabrina and roared, "You skank, apologize! You must get down on your knees and apologize!""I said, watch your mouth!" Sabrina retorted calmly."Why? Did he say anything wrong? Aren't you a single mother? Not just that but an unmarried mother, too! Women like you are born to be cheap and shameless! Your daughter is nothing but a little skank like her skank mother, and she dares to hit my son? Who on earth do you think you are?"A vicious-looking woman who stood next to the obese man was glaring at her. She was dressed in a black and white striped coat made of mink fur as if to show off how wealthy she was. The makeup on her face was so heavy that it almost seemed like it was falling apart as she was shouting at Sabrina. Clearly, that couple were uneducated nouveau riche, and Sabrina was not intimidated by their presence."If I'm not mistaken, my daughter is a year younger than your son, how could she possibly beat him up? Besides, kids fool aroun
"Leo's grandparents are generous donors who sponsored over two hundred thousand dollars to this kindergarten, they are...""So basically you are saying," Sabrina interrupted Miss Wals, slightly irritated, "that if we refuse to apologize, my daughter will be forbidden to continue her study here in this kindergarten?""I'm afraid..." Miss Wals replied as she struggled to find the right words. "I'm afraid it won't be that simple. Even if Aino drops out, she will still...have to apologize.""What for?" Sabrina raised her voice."Miss Scott, you have to understand that your daughter is the one who hit her classmate first," said Miss Wals."I request to see the footage!" Sabrina was furious. In the past five years she had been in this country, she had never caused any trouble and had devoted herself to her job. She might have seemed like a sincere and truthful person who was more than willing to compromise, but the one thing she would not tolerate was for anyone to bully her daughter!"
"You stay right there, skank!" The sharp pain on his lower back made it impossible for him to stand so the man shouted as he was sitting on the ground. "Woman, you try stepping out of this kindergarten, and I will make sure you suffer for it. People are going to find the corpses of both you and your daughter on the street, rotting!"The threat had Aino startled and her hand froze in her mother's palm.Sabrina looked down at her daughter, her heart ached for the little one and she consoled, "Aino, it's okay. Mommy will handle them."Aino nodded in response and Sabrina turned to stare at the vicious family calmly. "I am standing here now, how about you try and do something right here? This is a civilized society, you try harming a hair on me and I will contact the local police. Not only will I do that, but I'm going to file a lawsuit against this kindergarten. I heard that your father-in-law sponsored this kindergarten, is that right? And I'm guessing he did so as an investment too? Th
Especially those three months. She was dragged into the elite community of the South City as a plaything for men from wealthy families and almost got herself killed in the process. Three months was enough for Sabrina to swear off believing in true love and above all, she wanted nothing more to do with wealthy men. She only wished to live in peace with her daughter and Zayn here in this country for the rest of her life, and nothing more.Sabrina hesitated for a moment before answering, "Director Johns, I sort of have my hands full over here. Excuse me but I will have to hang up for now."Sabrina hung up and swiftly got onto the scooter with her daughter. As soon as they arrived back home, Aino darted into the house screaming "Uncle, uncle!" along the way.Zayn heard them and wheeled himself out. "Oh dear, here comes our precious little beauty Aino. Will you tell your uncle just who was it that you beat up today? Did they lose a tooth or two?" he asked playfully."Brother," Sabrina s
Sabrina turned around to find the developer of her current construction project, the proprietor who had contacted her earlier, Neil."Director Johns, what brought you here?" Sabrina asked humbly as she looked steadily at Neil.Neil was dressed in an exquisite suit that emphasized on his handsome features and athletic figure. His looks along with the fortune he held had made him one of the most eligible bachelors in the county with countless girls dying to crawl their way into the wealthy developer's heart. Had Sabrina run into a caring man like Neil back when she was studying in college three years ago, she might have been moved. But after everything, Sabrina only wanted to live her life in peace with her daughter and her brother."I wanted to invite you to dinner, but since you have returned home, I thought I could come over to check on you." Neil lifted his hand that was holding the basket of fruits and flowers and explained, "I bought them for your daughter and your brother, do a
