Sarah’s POV

Morning sunlight filtered through gauzy curtains, wrapping the room in warmth I didn’t feel. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing, trying not to shatter completely.

I hadn’t slept a wink. Not with Dr. Langston’s words echoing in my mind. Matteo my Matteo fighting something so deadly alone. And I never knew. He never gave me the chance to know.

The message I’d sent him last night still burned in my chest. A breakup written with trembling fingers and a heart bursting with pain, not understanding. Not forgiveness. Just raw emotion.

Now, I regretted it. Every single word. I should’ve asked. I should’ve waited. I should’ve gone to him, held his face in my hands, and made him look me in the eye and tell me everything himself.

But instead, I walked away. Just like that. And now, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever find a way back to him. Not with the heaviness still choking the air around me.

Mia stirred slightly in the guest room. I tiptoed in and sat beside her, brushing a ha

    We stayed there in silence, Ethan’s arms still wrapped around me like a promise I didn’t know I needed. His presence didn’t demand anything it simply reminded me I wasn’t alone anymore.I pulled away slightly, but not far. “I’m scared,” I admitted. “Everything feels like it could disappear again. Just like that.” I snapped my fingers softly. “I don’t think I could survive losing again.”Ethan didn’t blink. “Then you won’t have to.” His voice was low, firm. “I’m not asking you to move on or forget anyone. I just want you to know I’m here. That’s all.”My throat tightened. Maybe it was too soon. Maybe I was too broken. But I found myself wishing the world could just pause in this moment. Just for a little longer.The door beside us opened gently, and Dr. Langston stepped out. His face held a calm warmth. “She’s resting now. Peacefully. You can sit with her again in a little while.”I nodded with a smile. “Thank you. For everything.” He glanced between Ethan and me, and his eyes twinkled

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 67

    Matteo’s POVThe cold breeze brushing against my skin wasn’t from the window it came from within. A storm settled in my chest the second my phone vibrated and her name lit the screen.I reached for it lazily, half-expecting something simple maybe a reminder to eat, maybe another soft “thinking of you.” Instead, her words dug into my chest like glass buried beneath skin.You should’ve told me, Matteo… I can’t do this anymore.I read it again.And again.And again.My hand slowly dropped to my side, phone still clutched in it, like my body had forgotten how to function under the weight of heartbreak. The world went silent.Everything around me the soft ticking of the clock, the occasional rustling of leaves outside, the creak of the old wooden stairs blurred into meaningless background.The only thing loud enough to hear was the crack inside my soul.And it was deafening.I closed my eyes, trying to pretend I didn’t read those words. That they weren’t real. That I hadn’t just lost the o

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 66

    Sarah’s POVThe van pulled up to a quiet, ivy-cloaked building nestled deep behind wrought iron gates. It didn’t look like a typical hospital more like a forgotten manor redesigned with silent precision.The entrance doors slid open without a creak, revealing polished floors, modern lights, and eerie silence. A few nurses in deep navy uniforms approached us like clockwork, nodding without a word.Ethan helped guide Mia’s gurney while I trailed behind, my fingers brushing the wall as we moved past closed doors and scentless corridors. Everything smelled… sterile, almost too perfect.“This is Dr. Langston’s property,” Ethan finally said. “He only takes private cases here. No reporters. No threats. She’ll be safe.”I wanted to believe that. I did. But something in the air made my lungs tighten. Still, I followed as they wheeled Mia into a glass-walled room filled with soft lighting and advanced equipment.Dr. Langston arrived moments later tall, suited, silver-haired. His eyes flicked ov

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 65

    Sarah's POVThe beeping monitors faded into the background as I sat at Mia’s bedside, watching her pale hand resting silently on the white sheet, hoping to feel even the smallest twitch of movement.Her face looked peaceful too peaceful like she was merely asleep, not in the strange limbo between life and loss. My heart felt heavy, burdened with guilt, fear, and exhaustion. Every breath she took reminded me how fragile everything had become.I had cried all I could, but no amount of tears could change the reality that lay before me now. Still, I clung to hope, because losing her wasn’t something I could bear.My fingers were tangled in hers when her phone, left forgotten on the small hospital table, buzzed loudly vibrating sharply against the silence. I jumped, startled, and stared at the screen lighting up beside her.“Ethan Calling…”The name made my stomach turn slightly, not out of fear or confusion, but surprise. I had heard her talk about him… once or twice. Ethan, her boyfriend

  • Falling in Love with my cocky boss   Chapter 64

    Matteo’s POVI looked at Sarah, the faint trembling in her voice shattering what remained of my composure. My grandfather didn’t hesitate he stepped into danger for the woman I couldn’t even protect properly.The weight of everything I hadn’t said to Alessandro sat like iron in my throat. How many times had I brushed off his lectures? How many times had I rolled my eyes when he reminded me to live?He was right all along.And now, he was lying in a hospital bed because of me.Sarah hadn’t let go of my sleeve. It was a simple touch barely pressure but it grounded me. Made me realize I wasn’t dreaming, that he was truly alive.We sat together in silence. I could hear her breathing beside me, shallow and unsteady. I wanted to take that fear from her. Wanted to promise her it would never happen again.But I didn’t deserve to make promises anymore.A nurse walked past, casting us a glance before disappearing into another hallway. The floor was too quiet. Hospitals always had this eerie cal
