Sarah POVI rolled my eyes playfully but smiled nonetheless. We both freshened up quickly and made our way downstairs to have breakfast. As we entered the dining area, I noticed that most of the guests were already enjoying their morning meals. The elegant ambiance of the resort’s restaurant gave a luxurious yet cozy vibe, the morning sun filtering in through the large glass windows.I caught sight of Ester sitting across from Noah, and she gave me a knowing wink. I shook my head at her antics as Alessandro and I reached an empty table and took our seats. The dining area was filled with the few VIP guests who had been invited for an exclusive stay after the grand opening."So, what will this beautiful woman want to have? Donuts? Pancakes? Or something else?" Alessandro asked, his eyes twinkling with amusement."Anything would be fine, Alessandro," I replied, stretching my arms slightly."Okay, wait a minute," he said before getting up and walking hastily toward the nearest waiter.I w

Sarah P.O.VIt’s been almost twenty minutes since Alessandro and Adrian left the room to talk, and my mind refuses to rest. A million thoughts swirl through my head, each more unsettling than the last.What is taking them so long?I grip the edge of my plate, my appetite nearly gone despite the fruit I was mindlessly eating. My thoughts keep circling back to Adrian. Is he up to something? Is he trying to manipulate Alessandro? He has always had a way of twisting words, turning situations to his advantage. I wish I could trust that this conversation will lead to something constructive, but my heart is wary.In an attempt to distract myself, I reach for my phone and start scrolling. The screen floods with posts from yesterday’s event—pictures of the elegant venue, the perfectly arranged tables, and of course, the guests. My breath catches when I spot a few pictures of myself with Adrian. We appear like a well-coordinated pair, even if reality tells a different story. My fingers hesitate

Sarah POVAs I gather my thoughts, I realize something—I’m not alone in this. It's Alessandro. His unwavering support grounds me, reminding me that no matter how difficult things get, I don’t have to bear it alone.Just as the room begins to settle, Adrian clears his throat. "But I have one condition," he says, cutting through the moment.I stiffen. "What condition?"His jaw tightens before he speaks. "I want joint custody of our child. Even after the divorce. It’s important to me that we both remain actively involved in their life."His words knocked the breath out of me.Joint custody? The suddenness of his demand throws me completely off balance.I take a moment to gather my thoughts, my pulse racing. "Adrian, why are you doing this now?" I ask cautiously. "This is a big commitment. We’ve had so many differences and fights in the past."Adrian nodded, his expression unwavering. "I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, Sarah, but I believe this is the best thing for our child. The

Sarah POVAs the evening drew to a close, the guests began to disperse, making their way back to their rooms. I had spent the rest of the day attending to their needs, ensuring everyone was comfortable and enjoying their stay. Alessandro and I had also toured the rest of the property, discussing potential improvements and changes. Throughout the day, I occasionally caught glimpses of Adrian, who seemed to be keeping a respectful distance. He watched me quietly, his expression unreadable, but he never approached or interrupted.After dinner, the guests slowly filed out of the dining room, and I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It had been a long and emotionally draining day. Alessandro and I made our way back to our room, walking in silence. The air was thick with unspoken words, but for now, silence felt more comforting than conversation.Once inside the room, Alessandro closed the door behind us and turned to face me. "How are you holding up?" he asked gently, his concern evident

Sarah POVAlessandro appeared in the doorway, his hair tousled from sleep but his eyes alert. "Good morning," he greeted, walking over to kiss me on the cheek. "How did you sleep?""Better than I expected," I admitted, handing him a cup of coffee. "I think I'm starting to accept everything, little by little."He nodded, taking a sip of his coffee. "That's good. We'll take it one step at a time."As we sat down to eat, the doorbell rang. My heart skipped a beat, thinking it might be Adrian. Alessandro squeezed my hand reassuringly before getting up to answer the door.To my surprise, it was the family lawyer Alessandro had contacted. He was a tall, distinguished man with a kind but professional demeanor. "Good morning," he greeted, stepping inside. "I'm Mr. Thompson. Alessandro and I have spoken about your situation, and I'm here to help.""Good morning, Mr. Thompson," I replied, offering a smile. "Thank you for coming on such short notice.""My pleasure," he said, setting down his bri

Sarah POVOnce Mr. Thompson had left, Alessandro turned to me, his expression searching. "Feeling better?"I nodded, though the weight of the conversation still lingered in my chest. "Yes, I do. It's a lot to take in, but having good support makes it easier."His lips curved into a reassuring smile as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me close for a brief but comforting embrace. "Good. Now, let's tackle the rest of the day. We have a lot to do."The morning flew by in a blur of phone calls and preparations. I reached out to my grandparents, explaining that we needed to have an important discussion with both families. Alessandro, on the other hand, spoke to Adrian, insisting that he get his parents involved as well. There was no room for misunderstandings or loose ends in something as significant as our child’s future.By early afternoon, everyone had gathered in my room. Adrian and his parents sat across from Alessandro and me, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and

Sarah POVAlessandro, ever the composed strategist, leaned forward, his tone firm yet fair. "We believe in giving people a chance to change," he said. "But actions speak louder than words, Adrian. If you’re serious about this, you need to prove it through consistent effort, not just promises."Adrian nodded vigorously. "I understand. I’ll attend the parenting classes, I’ll be present for my child I won’t let you down."At this, Mr. Thompson, who had been quietly taking notes, spoke up. "It’s crucial that we set up regular check-ins to ensure everything is progressing smoothly. These can be in-person meetings or video calls, depending on what works best for everyone involved.""That’s a great idea," Adrian’s mother agreed. "It will keep things on track and help hold everyone accountable."A sense of cautious relief settled over me. While this conversation didn’t solve everything, it was a step in the right direction. "Thank you, everyone," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "This mea

Adrian's POVI closed the door to Sarah's room quietly, the weight of our conversation lingering in my mind. The tension still clung to my skin, making every breath feel heavier. I walked down the dimly lit hallway, my footsteps echoing faintly against the wooden floor. The house was bathed in a warm, golden glow from the lamps, casting long shadows that flickered like ghosts of our past. I paused for a moment, glancing at the framed pictures on the wall—snapshots of a life I had taken for granted. Pictures of Sarah and me from when we were still happy, our smiles unburdened, our hands intertwined without hesitation.As I neared the living room, I found my parents sitting in their usual spots, their faces lined with the weariness of people who had seen too much. My mother looked up first, her gentle eyes searching mine."Adrian," she called softly, beckoning me over. "How did it go?"I took a deep breath, rubbing the back of my neck, trying to shake off the weight pressing on my shoul

Sarah’s POVI wasn’t sure why I said yes.When Ester first brought up the business party, I’d laughed it off — told her I was too tired, too busy, too swamped with Gabriel’s schedules and work deadlines. But she had given me that look — the one that said Sarah, you need a night out or you’ll wither into dust.So here I was, standing in front of the mirror, smoothing down the silky emerald-green dress Ester had practically shoved into my hands. It fit too well, hugged curves I hadn’t paid attention to in months, and left me feeling simultaneously vulnerable and… visible."You look stunning," Ester remarked with a smile from behind me. She donned a smooth black jumpsuit paired with striking gold earrings, her hair tied up, embodying effortless style. "Honestly, Alessandro’s jaw will drop to the ground."I stiffened. “This isn’t about him.”She arched a brow. “Mm-hm.”I sighed, smoothing down the fabric again. “It’s not.”But of course, part of me wondered — if he was going to be there.

Sarah’s POVTwo months.That’s how long it had been since I last saw Alessandro.Since he walked out of our home, our life, without a proper explanation leaving me clutching my heart and wondering what went wrong.Since then, I’d buried myself in work, in routines, in the safety of the walls I built around myself.Adrian had been there, yes. Always helpful, always present, always offering a shoulder I hadn’t asked for but somehow leaned on more and more.But despite the growing closeness with Adrian, despite the way he had quietly inserted himself into my daily life, there was still a part of me that stayed stuck in the past.In Alessandro.Which was why, when the long-planned collaboration between our companies finally came up a joint project we’d negotiated months ago, back when we were still us I couldn’t help the tight twist of anticipation in my chest.I was going to see him again.Face to face.And maybe, just maybe, there would be something beyond business. Some small signal th

Sarah's POVI don't know when it became normal Adrian being here, taking up the spaces Alessandro used to leave behind.Initially, it had been uncomfortable. Unwelcome, even.I reminded myself that I didn't need assistance, that I could manage everything, that allowing Adrian in would just make things complicated. But eventually, he wore me down.Not with pressure, not with guilt. With kindness.A new coffee mug sat on the counter as I walked into the kitchen at six in the morning, my eyes heavy and my hair messy from yet another night without sleep.When I forgot to change the diapers, he silently delivered a package.When Gabriel got irritable at 2 a.m., and I hadn't even noticed Adrian was still around, I found him slowly walking with my child in his arms, singing softly under his breath.He never made me owe him. Never asked for anything.It was… easy.And I resented the fact that I required easy at the moment.Tonight, after Gabriel had curled up into his cot, I went back downst

Alessandro’s POVThe silence had been deafening.I’d thought to call her. To reach out. A thousand texts drafted and deleted, but I couldn’t bring myself to send them. What could I possibly say? It had been days since I walked out of the door, since I left Sarah standing in the flickering candlelight, her face ashen with confusion and heartbreak."I believe we should take a break."Those words were like a curse now. They haunted me in every waking moment. In every passing second, I replayed that night in my mind: Sarah, looking at me as if I’d just shattered the world we had built. My world.Our world.But I hadn’t been honest with her. Not about the reason. Not about what I was really facing.The night I left was the night Mira showed up at my door. Her presence had been a surprise, unexpected, but when she explained what had happened between us in the past, everything clicked. Her charges were nothing short of dynamite, threatening to disclose something that may destroy everything I
Wedcuffed Chapter 232
Sarah’s POVThe days began to blur again, not in the same dull ache that followed Alessandro’s departure, but in the quiet, strange rhythm of something new, unfamiliar. Or perhaps something I’d tried to avoid naming.Adrian was around more often now. Not in a way that felt suffocating, not overt or insistent. Just there. Like a lamp quietly turned on in the corner of a dim room, steady, unremarkable at first, but always present, always warming some small patch of your shadow.He had started picking up on our routines, filling in the silences Alessandro had left behind. Gabriel laughed more when he was around. That squealing, hiccup-laced giggle spilt from his tiny chest when Adrian made ridiculous faces or sang off-key versions of nursery rhymes.I watched them one afternoon. Adrian gently bounced him on one knee while Gabriel reached for his nose with sticky hands.“You’re a menace,” Adrian chuckled, catching his hands midair and kissing his forehead. “Tiny, adorable menace.”I smile
Wedcuffed Chapter 231
Adrian’s POVIt was all starting to fall into place.I could see it every hesitant smile Sarah offered, every time her shoulders relaxed just a little when I walked into the room. The way Gabriel cooed when he saw me, his tiny arms stretching out like he knew exactly where he wanted to be. He was still calling Alessandro “Da-da,” but even that was fading. Soon, that name would mean nothing to him. Soon, he’d forget the man who walked away.And then, it would be me. Just me.I hadn’t needed to lift a finger to break them apart. Alessandro did that all on his own. All I had to do was wait watch him get sloppy, arrogant, careless. And Mira? She was the perfect tool. A beautiful, broken mess with just enough resentment left in her to be useful.He thought he could run with her, escape the mess, and start fresh.But I had plans of my own.Tonight, I was meeting Mira again. Same hotel, same room. She liked the sense of secrecy—liked the way I fed her ego, told her she was “powerful,” “dange
Wedcuffed Chapter 230
Sarah's POVThree days had already passed since Alessandro requested space, and every hour seemed like an eternity.I made an effort to keep myself occupied. I plunged myself in work as the sole thing keeping me grounded in reality—emails, meetings, tasks that I used to outsource once occupied my focus. None of them filled the void in my chest. None of them filled the hollowness in my chest.Because when nighttime came, when the world outside hushed and vanished, when the babe finally slept in his crib, Alessandro's words rang louder than anything else:"I believe that we should take a pause."He hadn't given an explanation. He didn't have to, not after what I'd witnessed that night—him, dashing out of the building, with Mira. No explanation, no defense, just silence and that bomb he'd dropped in three in the morning, as I sat waiting on the couch for the candles to burn down.I'd not heard from him since.He hadn't even inquired after Gabriel.And that… that's the bit that used to kee

Sarah’s POVI didn’t sleep.Not even close.I sat curled up on the couch for hours, the meal Marta had purchased crumpled beside me like an abandoned dream.Every sound outside—the wind striking the windows, a distant siren, the quiet buzz of passing cars—made my heart race with eagerness.I kept thinking I’d imagined it. Mira. The way he left. The way my name never seemed to matter in that moment.I had tried not to check the time.But by 2:57 a.m., it was impossible not to notice the cold space beside me on the couch.I hadn’t moved from that spot. Didn’t bother to change. Then I heard the sound.The front door creaked open with the quiet care of someone attempting not to be heard. Footsteps followed, slow and deliberate, as if he were entering a chamber full of ghosts.I stood up before I even thought about it.And there he was.Alessandro.He looked exhausted eyes hollow, jaw tight, the jacket he’d rushed out in now draped over one shoulder. The top two buttons of his shirt were

Sarah’s POV I sat in the office long after Chloe had gone, staring at the open closet, the dress I’d pulled out earlier still hanging limply from the hook.I hated that she got to me. I hated that her words had slithered into my thoughts, muddying everything Alessandro and I had built.But I hated even more how uncertain I felt. How easily the doubt crept in, no matter how hard I tried to shove it away.Still, Alessandro’s message echoed louder than Chloe’s venom.“No expectations. Just you, me, and a little honesty.”Honesty. That was what I wanted more than anything else. If there was truth left between us, I wanted to see it in his eyes, not through whispered accusations or cryptic proofs.I got up to return home, I quickly packed up my things and called the driver. The driver pulled up outside our building just as the streetlights began to glow amber in the dusk. My fingers fidgeted in my lap. I imagined him lighting the candles, smoothing his hair, maybe even practising what he
