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
Ethan pov's"Sarah, what are you doing?" From the look in her eyes, I could tell she was still under the influence of alcohol.I gulped down the saliva in my throat as her haunting gaze looked at me intensely, my heartbeat racing uncharacteristically, followed by heavy breathing and my surroundings feeling hot.My hands clenched into tight fists as Sarah brought her face closer to mine. I once again tried to calm down by closing my eyes. Indoctrinating my mind that what I might be doing to her is not correct because right now, Sarah is unconscious. She doesn't really know what she's about to do.But her breath around my face soon obliterated my sanity. As her lips pressed against mine, I opened my eyes and welcomed her warmly. My hands traveled to the back of her neck and pressed him closer to me, tilting my head to kiss her more freely.She moved her lips and smiled between kisses before finally closing her eyes and enjoying the increasingly intense kiss.I leaned closer, but she sud
Sarah's povMy body felt overwhelming before I didn't realize what I was doing. At that moment, my chest felt tight, and I had trouble breathing. I realized what I had done because of drunkenness, but it was too late for me to stop it and push him away."I want you." Instead of taking a step back, I followed my instincts and continued. His every touch stimulated me, tickling the surface of my skin and pushing me for more. I kissed him back intensely, the heat travelling from the tips of my toes all the way up and forcing me to take off my clothes.Ethan's intent gaze, which sinks my gaze into it, makes me vaguely not listen to what he's talking about. After that, he didn't speak and came closer to me, getting closer until I could feel his breath tickling the surface of my face.But what was he doing by just staying there and not coming closer? He made the turmoil inside me worse until I immediately pulled away and kissed his lips. He did it purposefully to get me started by showing m
Ethan's POVI knocked softly on the door again. "Are you done?" I asked her who had been in there for five minutes.Unlike before, I no longer heard the sound of water running inside. I didn't know what she was doing, but I was starting to worry about her. I knew the night was new for her, if I had known I would have been a little gentler with her, though I also questioned how I could control the natural urge in me to be more human.I had gone wild when she kissed me, and it was hard for me to think usually, to think of anything else about her. All I knew was that I wanted her, and she wanted me, so while she was still breathing correctly, I kept at it, looking into her eyes until they signaled me with a weakened look."Sarah, are you okay?" I asked again, but I did not get an answer.My feet moved in place, restlessly waiting for her answer. Once again, I was about to knock just as she opened her door, and I held my hand in the air. "What's wrong? Something happened?"She shook her h
Sarah pov'sI groaned softly with horror on my face. "Seriously, him," I grumbled as the door opened to reveal Ethan and a waiter smiling at me.I'd told him to be careful when he spoke. Someone could probably hear him walking by, considering it wasn't just the two of us. In the mornings, I'd usually see some of the servants in the corridor cleaning up or just waking us up in case we were out of the room for a long time on a weekday, and sure enough, someone overheard his conversation, and I was the one who suffered the embarrassment.The embarrassment made me stare at her sharply until I heard her agree with the maid aunt's words. She stared at me while confessing her feelings, which made my eyelids open wide to stare at her, also welcomed by the boisterous thumping of my ear-splitting heart."Miss, here's the drink." The waiter who came in brought milk for me to drink.Shyness no longer affecting me, I nodded to her. "Yes, just put it over there." Then I returned to silence, looking
