Sarah's povI turned my head and saw Alex there. Instantly, my mood improved because I had been meeting and getting positive vibes from my surroundings all day. It suddenly became gloomy and bad just because of seeing him in the same place as me.My eyes stared cynically and sharply at him, filled with distaste. "It's none of your business what I'm busy doing," I answered him curtly, turning away from him and staring bemusedly in the other direction because I honestly didn't want to respond to him. "Lila, let's go." I looked at Lila, who was still sitting there while Ethan's hand was already in mine, and I wanted to dance him out.But Alex blocked my way. He stood right before me and forced me to stop my steps."I am your husband," Alex emphasised that sentence with great insistence. The way he spoke and his attitude made me extremely disgusted. What was it about him that just said that after all this time, I expected him to act like that?Why is it that when I expected him to treat m
Sarah’s POV"Don't you get it?" I barked loudly, glaring at her sharply. "Isn't this what you asked for.""I never asked for anything like this, Sarah!" He dismissed my words, shaking her head violently. "I have no intention of separating from you." He insisted and tried to move forward, but I moved further away from her while brushing off his hands that wanted to touch me.The expression on my face was unbearable. Staring at him with a glare while snorting sarcastically was a response that came out of nowhere. "Nonsense, from the way you mistreat me, ignoring me and making me feel so miserable all by myself, what do you want from that if not that you want me to realise that I mean nothing to you! You never treated me as a wife!"He shook his head sluggishly, looking thoughtful as if fooling me, thinking I was mistaken in what he had done to me. "I never entered like that. I've always treated you as my jerk. Anything I would do and give for you!"I laughed in response to his words, wh
Alex's POV"Damn, she's such a bitch!" I got out of the car while slamming my car door hard.When I left earlier, I felt fine. My temper wasn't this bad. But now it felt like I was going to explode. My blood was boiling, and I was ready to smash anything before me. But try as I might to control myself. I can't act rashly, or I'll ruin everything even more.This time, I can't give Sarah a wrong impression. I can't make her doubt that I don't love her. Even though I'm sick of all the lies and deceit I've told her, I must still show her my good side to make her believe and think I love her."Where's Sarah?" Mom's voice appeared as soon as I walked into the house, and found her in the living room staring at me. "You didn't bring her with you?"I stared at the woman in disgust. Was it hard for her to read my situation? Couldn't she see that I wasn't okay, and it was apparent why? I complained that my breath was coming out of my chest heavily. "Who did you see me coming with?" I snapped bac
Alex's POV"What happened to her? Why does her voice sound weak?" My heart pounded at the thought of what might have happened to her, anxious at the thought of what might be happening to her, just like that time.My blood instantly seemed to cool down, but thinking about it still impacts me now. "Wait for me there. I'll be right there." I forgot what I was going to do. I quickly turned towards the door and ran down the stairs towards the exit on the main floor."Where are you going, Alex?!" I heard Mom's voice yelling quite loudly at the spot where I had left her earlier.I glanced back at her. "I have something urgent to do, so I must go," I replied casually."Keep making excuses. I'm sure Emily contacted you, so you rushed off." She replied in a sarcastic tone. But I ignored her and kept walking away from the living room I had to pass through to get out. "You better make sure you do what I say, or you'll regret it." I can still clearly hear Mom's words even though I'm now at the doo
Alex's POVI aimed my gaze at the position Emily was pointing at and found Sarah with Ethan at that spot. "What is she doing?!" I muttered under my breath, looking at the two.My emotions that had initially subsided because Emily was with me now suddenly returned after seeing them together when I had also seen them together at the cafe earlier this afternoon. My hands clenched into tight fists. My gaze continued to follow the two who seemed to enjoy their time together like a couple.A couple?Have they gone mad? Sarah has a reason why she probably doesn't want to be with me anymore. I mistreated her. But I have to keep her because she's the key to me succeeding in getting the inheritance that my grandfather made.But what's wrong with Ethan? Why would he be interested in a woman like Sarah? At first, I thought it might be because Ethan didn't like Mom and me, but now he wants to make trouble with us by taking the inheritance as his own, but for him, it doesn't have to be Sarah. And n
Sarah’s POVI was inside my room, busying myself with the work I brought home because I didn't have time to finish it. I didn't want to work overtime and come home too late, considering I was staying at Ethan's house. At least I didn't want to worry him or make him wait for me at my workplace."I remember there were some changes they wanted for this part." I looked for the notes I made when I met with the representatives of the foreign party for the agenda they agreed on yesterday.I was still trying my best for them, even though we had reached a mutual agreement and they had agreed to cooperate, but anything could change until the file was signed. I am preparing the rest of the files to send to the foreigners and have them sign them later."Yes?" I stopped the movement of my fingers, which had been busy typing on the laptop, and then turned toward the door, where I heard a knock appear."It's me, Ethan." I knew it was him because his knock was different from that of the butler, who u
Sarah's povI looked at him with a frown. Suddenly, my heartbeat stopped because his words sounded a bit annoying. I then pushed him away and backed my body away from him more casually.Sometimes, I found Ethan's attitude overconfident, even though it was natural considering he was handsome, intelligent, and rich. He had it all, and that was even more annoying. But it's most annoying when he seems to act like everything is centered on him, whether because he's acting in jest or seriously."It's so hard to deal with you, Ethan." I meant it, looking at him while folding my arms to stare at him observantly.The charming face laughed, his body moving lightly. "I was thinking you might be interested, considering we're already quite close."I'm interested?I was silent for a while, looking at her with many things running through my mind like they were overlapping. It was hard to deny that I didn't care because, yes. I've come to care about her quite a bit since that day.It was impossible n
Sarah’s POV"I'm done." I put the spoon I was using on the table and then pushed my body to get up from there. I looked at Ethan, who was still quietly enjoying his breakfast, looking like he wanted to be there longer. I watched him for a few moments hesitantly. Wondering if he was going to drop me off or if I should go alone. I glanced again at the small circular clock in my hand, which made me even more urgent. "I have to go now, Ethan. Enjoy your breakfast." I prepared to leave with my laptop bag that I had placed on the table."I'll drive you." He made me stop my steps and turn to look at him silently. He cleared the corner of his aunt and got up from there. "What's wrong with surviving your breakfast?" He glanced at me while shaking his head lightly.Thanks to him, I scrunched my eyes strangely and walked behind him, following him into the car. My feet couldn't stop tapping anxiously during the trip because my mind was elsewhere. I was worried that my delay would become a proble
