Chapter 144: Living A Miserable Life
"Every time he suspects you of something, you will get hurt deeper and deeper. Is it worth it? We were
hired to do a job, and we are going to finish it. I tried to reason with you and to leave Charles willingly. If
you think about it, I’m quite helpful to you, right? I''m actually helping you to unveil the real Charles in
front of you, you should be grateful to have this chance to escape. Isn''t it better for you to just leave
now while you still can?”
Sarah spits on his face in response. That criminal burst in anger and pped her face, scorning, “I''m
done with you, I have other things to tend to. I''ll give you two days to think about what you want to do
next. If you still refuse to reason at the end of two days, I will kill you without hesitating. I''m wasting my
time trying to talk sense into a silly woman like you!”
After he was done ranting, he ordered everyone else to go out, and closed the warehouse door after
them, extinguishing all lights, leaving her alone in the dark.
Sarah looked to the top of the warehouse in the darkness, where a small glimmer of light came through
the cracks. Suddenly she felt ovee by sadness, and scenes of her love story and marriage life
passed in her mind like she was watching a movie.
In the beginning, it had all been too sweet and fairytale-like, but very soon, it had turned sour with
nothing left but tormented moments. Both Christina and Emma had continuously interfered between
her and Charles, making him distrust her and believe that she was having an affair with Daniel. He had
listened to his mom and sister mistreat her verbally to hurt her yet had done nothing to stop them.
It looked like their love had only been in her imagination. She used to think that as long as they loved
each other, they would be able to make it, but could they really ever ovee everything they had

suffered?
Thinking about it realistically, Sarah knew that they could never be happy together again. If they stayed
together, they would continue to hurt each other again and again, living a miserable life.
In the past, she had chosen to stay for the sake of her father-inw, who had insisted on keeping the
family together. She had failed to live up to his expectations now that he was not with them any longer,
and Charles would never trust her again. Christina and Emma would never let go of their obsession to
bother her. Was there any good in insisting? She was a self-respecting woman, then why should she
tolerate them? Why should she give in to their demands?
The more Sarah thought about it, the sadder she became. Alone in the darkness, she cried her heart
out, whispering his name. "Charles… Charles… ” as tears rolled over her face non-stop. She didn’t
know why she was calling out his name, or if she loved or hated him. He was the cause of all her
suffering, so why was she still thinking about him in her darkest hour? His name was written deep into
her heart…
Two endless days passed with Sarah being tied up and alone in the dark warehouse. asionally, the
guard that was outside would bring her food, which remained untouched. Sarah was starting to look
skinny and weak from not eating, but all she could feel was a deep sadness overpowering her.
Finally, on the third day, the kidnapping leader came back. When he saw Sarah exhausted and with
dull-looking eyes, he knew that she had been crying and was extremely sad.
He sneered and said with an irritated voice. “Well, have you figured it out? Are you going to ept the
offer, or are you eager to die? I''m not in the mood to waste any more of my time in talking to you, silly
woman!
Sarah looked at him with a dull expression but didn''t say a word. Her fierceness and bravery were
gone, and all that was left was a hollow shell.
The kidnapper continued. “Maybe I should tell you one more good news before I kill you. Your beloved
husband, Charles, left Los Angeles and went back to Houston today. He''s too busy with his business
now to even bother looking for you. The good thing is he''s still young and rich, considered a golden
bachelor after divorcing you. There will be countless women offering themselves to him. You really
thought he''d remember you forever? Especially since they think that you betrayed him?”
Sarah was numb. Though she was looking at her kidnapper, her expression was so bleak and
expressionless that no one knew what she was thinking.
Still not satisfied, the kidnapper added. “You’re such a silly woman. Look, is this what you call love?
The trust between you two is broken by the slightest bit of misunderstanding. How can you ever be
happy living like this? Even if you love each other, your stubborn character is the main reason for all
this. Do you really love this man enough to want to die for him? Is he worth it?"
Sarah still didn''t answer.
Irritated, her kidnapper turned cold and spit on the ground. “Fuck, just wasting my time here. Guys,
take her out and kill her. No use in keeping her alive!”
The two young criminals untied her feet and dragged her out, with her hands still tied together. While
being dragged out, Sarah suddenly seemed to regain some energy and said with a dull look, “Where
am I going if I choose to ept your offer?”
Relieved not to have to kill her, the gang leader immediately ordered the two guys to stop as he walked
toward her with a smile. “So, you finally came to your senses?”
Sarah didn''t answer his question, just asked numbly, “Can I go to Texas? Isn''t this the time for tulips?
Tulips are so beautiful, aren''t they?” She remembered that when they first got married, Charles had
promised her they would go to Texas for their honeymoon and then from there to the Maldives, but then
they had to cancel all their honeymoon ns after Mr. Thomas had gotten sick.
