Falling for my Husband's Rival 29| The last night at Cedar Lane.
Sarah's POVThe question hit before I even reached him—sharp, immediate, cutting through the hallway like he’d been holding it in his teeth the entire time he waited.Had he seen me step out of Adrian’s car? Or had someone who knew us spotted me and called him?“A colleague,” I said, managing the lie with steady ease, not breaking my stride. “Someone I met through a job contact. He offered me a ride. That’s all.”"A colleague," he repeated, the word turning ugly in his mouth, as his eyes stayed fixed on my face."You don't have a job anymore, Sarah. Remember? So what kind of colleague exactly?""Someone I'm networking with," I said flatly. "Since you destroyed the only income I had, I have to find another way. Or would you prefer I sit at home and starve with the children?"His jaw tightened. "Watch how you speak to me.""I'm just stating facts, Sean."I tried to move past him, but he stepped slightly to the side, blocking my way to Mrs. Asher’s door. I glanced at the door, only a fe
Falling for my Husband's Rival 28| Who was the man that dropped you?
Sarah’s POV“No,” I said carefully, my voice steadier than I felt. “Not Interested. I'm not strong enough for that right now.”“Then we stay at home,” he said immediately. “We won't have to go anywhere. I just want to see you now. I need you.”The words pressed in on me, heavy with something that felt less like affection and more like control.I curled my lips slightly. “Fine. Give me a few hours,” I said with a small shrug. “I’ll be home later.”“Oh… okay,” he replied, and I heard it—the quiet satisfaction in his tone. Subtle, but unmistakable. The sound of a man who believed he was regaining control. “I’ll wait for you and–”I hung up before he could finish and lowered the phone slowly, staring at the blank screen for a second longer than necessary.“He said he wants to take me to dinner,” I said, turning to Valerie.“Mtcheew… Sean is so pathetic,” Valerie replied without hesitation. “Always acting the nice guy.”Before I could respond, the door opened and Roody stepped in.“Mr. Va
Falling for my Husband's Rival We're are you?
Sarah's POV He didn’t answer. Instead, he waved it off like it didn’t matter.“Mmm?” I persisted.“That’s a discussion for another day, Sarah,” he said with a faint smile.I shot a quick glance at Valerie. She looked just as confused as I felt. When I looked back at him, his eyes were still fixed on me.Does that mean he knows Sean?I parted my lips to speak, but he beat me to it.“So… do you have the documents? The proof of how he gained control in the first place.”I gave a small nod.He tilted his head slightly, like that wasn’t the reaction he’d expected.“She has them,” Valerie cut in, giving me a pointed look—like she could tell I didn't catch up.“Oh–right. Yes, I do,” I said quickly.“Good.” Valerie uncrossed her legs and faced Adrian fully. “So what do we do with them?”Adrian rose to his feet and walked over to the window, clasping his hands behind his back as he stared out at the city below."First, we build the case properly," he said. "Then, we file an emergency injunct
Falling for my Husband's Rival 26| Meeting the CEO
Sarah's POVLily's Dad…{you really upset me, but I forgive you because what we share matters more. I miss us. Can we talk and find our way back? I'll be back tomorrow.}I stared at the message until the screen went dark.‘I forgive you.’I almost actually laughed out loud in the dark, silent apartment, sitting on a worn-out couch with my children asleep in the next room and a paycheck worth nothing crumpled in my bag.He forgave me? For what? For knowing the truth? For finally refusing to be small? For slapping back the hand that hit me first? He’d stolen my company, destroyed my career, humiliated me in front of everyone at Lumière House—and he was offering me forgiveness like it was a gift.I grabbed my phone, went straight to my room, placed it face down on the bedside table, and went to bed without replying.Morning came fast. I moved through it quietly, making the kids breakfast, braiding Lily's hair while she squirmed, reminding Ethan twice to brush his teeth. Normal things.
Falling for my Husband's Rival 25| Its already a war
Sarah's POVI turned away quickly, blinking hard, trying to pull myself together. My fingers crushed the paycheck in my fist. The last thing I wanted was for him to see me like this—outside the boutique I just got thrown out of, and mascara down my face, looking exactly like the disaster Sean had described to Ms. Harlow."Sarah."His voice was closer than I expected. I quickly pulled a small towel from my bag, dabbing at my face before turning to him, slow and deliberate. He stood a few feet away, his dark eyes studying me the way they always did."Mr. Adrian," I said, forcing steadiness into my voice. "Good morning."His gaze flicked to the boutique doors behind me, then to the crumpled paper clenched in my hand, before returning to my face.“Are you okay?”“Yes–yes, I’m fine,” I said too quickly.“Sure?”I nodded sharply.He studied me for another second, then nodded once, accepting it without pushing. "I was coming to pick up a watch I’d engraved at the jeweler next door," he sai

Sarah's POV I ignored him for the moment, my priority being my job. I rushed straight toward the glass doors where Ms. Harlow was already heading back inside. "Ms. Harlow! I'm so sorry, I—"I didn't even get past the threshold. I was blocked immediately by Penelope and Damien. Damien was a junior sales associate, usually quiet, but today he had a cruel grin on his face. Penelope stood beside him, her arms folded."Here comes the cheap whore!" Penelope laughed, the sound loud enough to make the customers at the jewelry counter turn their heads."You’ve got such a good man and you decided to sell your filthy body," Damien added, his voice dripping with fake pity. What?I froze, looking around the room. The boutique was silent. My other colleagues were staring at me like I had walked in covered in filth. Some were whispering, covering their mouths as they laughed. Even Rose, the older cleaner who’d always been kind to me, avoided my eyes. Shame sat heavy in her expression as she scrub
