Sarah's pov"So it's really her that the media is talking about?" As soon as I entered the office, people's reactions were as expected.Some of them directed their gazes at me without caring whether I was comfortable or not because their curiosity was far more important than what my reaction would be.I continued to walk straight ahead even though the corners of my eyes naturally caught their presence around me. I saw what the expressions on their faces were like as they looked at me while moving their necks to continue following my movements.I didn't fully understand what they were doing, but their curiosity was somewhat understandable."This is very, very unexpected. I didn't expect that she would be the wife of the famous Murray family." It was obvious that they were talking about me.Although the news was quickly dealt with by freezing every account posted, many social media accounts snapped screenshots and reposted them, and only some people couldn't see them. It was likely that
Alex's pov"Why is everyone staring at me with that annoying look?" I got into my car immediately. My gut feeling was not good, and I wanted to get home immediately to check what had really happened.I drove my car at a fast speed and then made a turn. I was surprised when the main gate of the mansion where my residence was located was surrounded by many reporters with cameras and flashes on as soon as they saw my car enter the estate. "Ah, asshole, what the hell is going on right now?" I accelerated my car from there and entered my yard immediately."Sir, for a while, the house phone has been ringing and asking where you are." As soon as I entered the house, a servant approached me.He added to the pressure I was receiving even more. "Then why are you telling me? Can't you solve such a trivial matter? Tell me I'm busy not being home or something. Why bother." I snapped at him in annoyance without being able to help myself."I'll do it, sir." He complied and left, as did I, who quickl
Alex's pov"This doesn't feel like her doing." I stared intently at my laptop screen.All the news that appeared there was too detailed, there was a video of my meeting with Emily, although if you look at Emily's part it's not so clear, but our closeness looks like an affair is evident.Various recordings were enough to be part of a video compilation, not just one or two times in some places, but almost all our meetings since four months ago were recorded there. I didn't understand how those recordings could be gathered together like that.It seemed really strange. Even the voice recording of Mom discussing the reason for the divorce with Sarah was played by some media outlets, like an exclusive news story."Or maybe someone bugged the house!" I deservedly got up from my bed and looked around the room, wondering if it had been fitted with a small monitoring camera or a bugging device.I looked under my bed and checked every corner. Right now, there was nothing I could trust. Even thou
Alex’s povInstead of landing on Sarah's cheek, my raised and swinging hand was caught by someone who suddenly appeared between us."What are you doing?" Holding my wrist, Ethan looked at me sharply, his eyes glancing intently at me.I could feel his hand tightly gripping my wrist until it felt like the blood in my hand couldn't flow. "Let go!" I spoke to him without hesitation.Ignoring his gaze, which had always bothered me, every time I saw him, I remembered my grandfather's face, who always stared at me flatly with no interest. Both he and my grandfather always made me feel annoyed and unappreciated. They were both the same person, with equally unpleasant mannerisms.I had always ignored him, considering him not part of the family, which I used to do because I didn't want to be involved with him. But this time, I didn't need to feel awkward with him. He had intruded into my life, so I would not hesitate to do so as well."I said, let go of my hand!" I threw his hand away from me.
Sarah's pov"Where is she now?" I stood up from my seat uneasily.After the fight between Ethan and Alex, which was quite fierce, without being interrupted by the security guard in the building, Alex soon lost consciousness and surprised me. I panicked, thinking something might have happened to him, and took him seriously. Regardless of what Alex did, I didn't want to see someone's death occur in front of me, so I checked on him frantically.But Ethan pulled me from there and said that Alex had just fainted. He lost his self-consciousness, but he was fine, so I didn't need to worry. Before I could speak again, he had already led me out of the building, put me in his car, and told Luke to go home while he didn't say anything else.I really didn't know what was going on, and I'd been trying to contact him to ask, but Ethan never picked up his phone calls until late afternoon, when he still hadn't come home.I walked to the door and stared anxiously at the front gate. "Is he okay?" my pa
Sarah's povI couldn't sleep all night because I was too excited for the day my divorce announcement would be finalised. "What time is it already?" I looked at the clock beside my bed, which showed five in the morning while the court decision would be read out at nine.There were still at least four hours left, even though I slept at around two last night. I had been in bed since nine o'clock, but no matter how hard I closed my eyes, I never fell asleep. It wasn't until I finally checked the clock and realised it was almost two o'clock that I could fall asleep."What should I do?" I sat quietly on my bed while staring at nothing in particular.Right now, I was also filled with various thoughts, thinking about whether the results of the decision reading were satisfactory to me or the opposite. Ethan said the decision would go as we expected, but still, I thought about what if the possibility said something else.There was no telling what Alex might do to overturn the divorce decree. I
Sarah’s POV"Hello, Lira, you're on your way, right?" I called back to her across from Ethan, who was driving his car to one of the restaurants we were going to."Yes, I'm on the road now. Where do you want me to meet you?" he answered in a casual tone.I turned my gaze back to Ethan, who occasionally looked at me while I was listening. "Meet me at the Central restaurant by the pier." I waited for a long time to be able to take him there.Actually, the place there has been on my bucket list for a long time. I love the food they serve, and the view is so beautiful. The restaurant has a price that is worth the taste, and it is not only enjoyed by the tongue but also by the eyes. In addition to the price being expensive and making me rethink every time I go there, I also think about the person I hope sits enjoying a romantic dinner there, Alex. But no matter how much I talked about the place to him, he never listened to me and agreed that someday we would go together."Are you sure you'r
Ethan’s pov"That was close." I caught her unsteady shoulders and lost her consciousness. Her behaviour before walking away earlier came back to my mind. I didn't expect her to have that kind of side and act out of character when drunk.I slowly smoothed her hair while looking at her face, asleep in my arms. A small giggle appeared on those tiny lips. I didn't know what was going through her head, but I knew something fun was spinning in her mind."You seem to like it a lot." I gasped and looked back, realising Lira's existence, who had somehow returned to the table with full consciousness.Unlike before, her face seemed to be swaying, her eyes unfocused, and she danced along with Sarah before Sarah finally returned to the table while babbling about how happy she was on this day.She took me by surprise. I was suddenly caught by her, looking at Sarah while smiling at her. Of course, that allowed her to see into my eyes.Lira smiled at me. "If you're with her, then I agree. I support y
