Lonely Bride

Sarah’s POV

Why, is destiny, again and again, playing games with me?

I guess the more I want to run away from everything, the more things come running behind.

The more I look for peace, the more the shadow of worry tower me.

By the evening, I had finished my work, securing their system. I sent the culprit details as well.

Mr. Luca already knows I like to keep myself hidden, so I do not have to worry about anything.

I somehow started enjoying my life here with my two friends. Oh, yes, my second friend, Nathan Moore. Sam and Nathan have become best friends, and that is how I know him. He is tall. He has a good body, brown eyes, and a cute smile.

Nathan and I are in the same batch. He is a brilliant and sharp student. He has a fantastic knowledge of computers.

Well, I do not like to make friends, but they call me their best friend. So practically, we are best friends.

We are together most of the time. Whether I like it or not. They both are re-born of leech.

Sometimes I feel Nathan has a liking for Sam, but I do not know why he takes no initiative.

Whenever they both are together, they generally forget their surrounding even sometime me, and get are lost in their world, or maybe because of my introverted nature, I do not take part in every conversation.

However they stick with me like a second skin. Nonetheless, they both are there. Still, loneliness never left my hand.

And about me, well, they both know my complete story and support me like a strong pillar.

If not family, I have these two.

With time, I have forgotten my pain.

5 years

It has been five years.

I was standing on the 85th floor, looking outside.

Melbourne Traffic with a cup of my coffee from my office glass window.

How time has passed and feels like yesterday only.

My office, Star Tech Software

One day Nathan came to us and said he has a business plan, he wants to start his own business, and he wanted me to be with him.

First, I denied thinking he is being childish, but when I hear his business plan, I know it has potential, and I know I can trust Nathan; he has a vision.

He said he was planning to apply for the loan, and he was sure it would get approved. Even I was sure it would get approved.

I asked him if I could invest, and at first, they both laughed at me, but when they saw I was dead serious, they asked me where I got the money from. As they all know what kind of family I belong to, but at the same time they know that I do not have to do anything with the families.

I told them everything about my assignment with the government.

First, they were shocked, but later, both were proud of me.

I invested in this company, and after requesting 100 times to keep equal partnership, Nathan did not agree with me and made me a 60% partner, and he became a 40% partner.

As I said, Sam did not leave us and stuck to us like a leech, so she started helping us, and now she has become our admin’s head.

Nathan is CEO, and I am MD, which very few people know about. I am holding the post as COO, as I like to see everything operating properly.

I heard the knock on the door “came in,” saying I turned around and saw Nathan.

“Hi, pal,” he said, giving me a cute smile.

“What do you want, Nathan?” I asked, while taking my seat.

They know how I am-straight to the point, no bullshit.

“Did you read the mail I sent you?” He asked, while taking his seat.

“Well, sorry, I guess I missed it. Tell me what it was about.”

“Well, one of the leading companies wants us to meet them regarding upgrading their system.” He says this, taking his seat in front of me.

“So, what do you want me to do with that?” I asked in a broad tone. I know we will grab the project, anyway.

“They want to meet you.” He shrugs.

“Why? Do they know me? And you are the CEO. Why the hell I need to see anyone?” This small information has made me annoyed.

“Are you sure they want to meet me?” I asked, arching my brow before he replies for my previous question.

“They want to meet MD,” He stated.

“What rubbish! I do not want to meet anyone. You know how bad I am with people. You, please, take care of this or let them go.” I pleaded with my eyes.

“That is what I did, but it has been two months since they tried, and they are adamant about meeting you.

And if this news comes in the market that we refuse to meet such a well-known company, it will not be good for our reputation.” His thoughts finally hit me.

“So, what are you suggesting?” I asked, while taking a rest in my chair.

“I would say one meeting will not harm,” he said while thinking.

“Ok, but I want you to be there,” I said, raising my brows.

“Ok, done. Then I shall tell my assistant to inform them and let us know once she gets the reply.”

“Okay fine. By the way, I am done with my work, so I am leaving early. Can you bring Sam with you?” I said this while packing my stuff.

“Yes, of course. Why not?” he said, scratching his neck. I can see he is a little happy about this arrangement, but not accepting it.

“You know what? You are a hopeless case,” I said, shaking my head.

“Maybe,” he said, looking here and there, avoiding my eyes.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I reached the beautiful house where I and Sam lived together, and right beside us, Nathan has his house, which I guess he even does not use for his shower, as most of the time I find him here only.

However, I can’t forget the fact that because of them, I do not feel lonely in this house.
