Adrian POVOne evening, as I was preparing dinner, the aroma of sautéed garlic and onions filled my small apartment. The rhythmic chopping of vegetables on the cutting board was the only sound until my phone buzzed on the counter. Wiping my hands on a kitchen towel, I picked it up, my heart skipping a beat when I saw Sarah’s name on the screen.Thank you for the suggestions. Would you like to come for my doctor’s visit this weekend for the ultrasound?I read the message twice, the weight of her words settling deep in my chest. An invitation. A chance to be there. It was a moment I had desperately longed for but feared I might never get. Attending the ultrasound meant stepping into a responsibility I had struggled to fully grasp before, but I knew—I couldn't afford to mess this up.That weekend, the hospital was busier than I had expected. The scent of antiseptic and the hushed conversations of people in the waiting area made my stomach churn with nervous anticipation. My hands felt cla

Adrian POVOver the next few weeks, I immersed myself in work, peeling back the layers of my past and confronting the demons that had led me down such a destructive path. Dr. Evans helped me navigate through the guilt and shame, encouraging me to understand the roots of my behavior."Adrian," she said during one session, "acknowledging your mistakes is an important step. But true redemption comes from consistent actions and genuine change."Her words stayed with me. I couldn't undo the past, but I could shape the future. Each day, I woke up with a renewed sense of purpose. I continued my morning runs, the rhythmic pounding of my feet on the pavement a form of meditation, clearing my mind and strengthening my resolve.I also started working on new projects that our company had signed, focusing primarily on the new architecture plans. These projects required a blend of creativity, precision, and forward-thinking—qualities I was eager to channel into something constructive. It was an opp

Adrian POVShe looked at me, her eyes searching mine. "I appreciate that, Adrian. It's going to take time, but I'm willing to try. We both need to do what's best for our baby."I nodded, feeling a flicker of hope. "I understand. Thank you for giving me this chance."When Alessandro returned, the class resumed, and I did my best to stay focused. As the session ended, I felt a sense of accomplishment. We had taken another small step forward, and despite my jealousy, I was determined to keep moving in the right direction.That night, as I lay in bed, I reflected on the day. It was a reminder of the challenges ahead but also of the progress we were making. I knew I had to keep working on myself, to confront my insecurities and continue proving that I was capable of change.The next few weeks followed a similar pattern. I balanced work, therapy, and my efforts to rebuild my relationship with Sarah. Each day presented new challenges but also new opportunities for growth. My jealousy of Ales

Adrian POVThe following weeks were a mix of highs and lows. I continued to be involved in Sarah's pregnancy, attending appointments and helping with preparations for the baby's arrival. Each moment spent with her was a bittersweet reminder of what we once had and what we were trying to rebuild. But each time I saw Alessandro with Sarah, the jealousy flared up, burning through my resolve. I fought to keep it in check, reminding myself that my focus should be on Sarah and our child, not my insecurities.One evening, Sarah invited me over for dinner to discuss some final details about the custody arrangement. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door, preparing myself for whatever emotions the night might bring. As I stepped inside, the warm aroma of home-cooked food filled the air. Alessandro was already in the kitchen, helping Sarah set the table, his movements graceful and natural. He moved with an ease that made it clear he belonged there, and for a brief moment, I felt like

Sarah POVA Few Months LaterThe soft hues of dawn painted the sky in delicate shades of pink and orange as I stretched in bed, my body heavy with exhaustion. I hadn't slept well; the baby had been restless, kicking and shifting through the night. I placed a hand on my swollen belly, feeling the little movements beneath my palm. A soft smile tugged at my lips despite my fatigue. The due date was just around the corner, and the anticipation of meeting our child filled me with both excitement and nerves.I carefully maneuvered out of bed, wincing slightly as a dull ache spread through my lower back. The weight of pregnancy had made even the simplest of tasks a challenge, but I was grateful for every moment. As I shuffled into the kitchen, the rich aroma of coffee lingered in the air—a trace of Alessandro’s morning routine. He had already left for work, but a small note on the counter caught my eye.Can’t wait to meet our little one. Take it easy today. Love - A.I ran my fingers over the

Sarah POVI exhaled in relief, appreciating his urgency. Even with our complicated past, he never hesitated when it came to our child.Grabbing my hospital bag—packed weeks ago in preparation for this very moment—I carefully made my way to the front door, pausing as another contraction ripped through me. I sucked in a sharp breath, gripping the doorframe for support. The contractions were coming fast now, growing stronger each time.I managed to call a cab and waited on the front porch, my hands pressed to my belly as I focused on my breathing. Each passing second felt like an eternity. The anticipation and pain mingled, creating a haze of anxiety and excitement. When the car finally pulled up, I climbed in, gripping the seat as I braced for the next wave of pain.The drive to the hospital was agonizing. Every bump in the road sent sharp jolts through my body, and I bit my lip, forcing myself to stay calm. The driver glanced at me nervously but remained silent, clearly not wanting to

Sarah POVI grabbed my hospital bag, which had been packed and ready for weeks, and made my way to the front door. The contractions were coming more frequently now, each one stronger than the last. I called for a cab and waited anxiously on the front porch, trying to focus on my breathing. My hands trembled slightly as I clutched my belly, whispering reassurances to the tiny life inside me.The cab ride to the hospital felt like an eternity. Each bump in the road sent a jolt of pain through my body, and I clutched the seat, willing myself to stay calm. The driver kept glancing at me nervously in the rearview mirror, but I barely noticed. I squeezed my eyes shut, inhaling and exhaling in a desperate attempt to control the pain. Finally, we arrived at the hospital. A kind nurse rushed to my side, helping me out of the cab and into a wheelchair before quickly whisking me away to the maternity ward.As I was wheeled into the delivery room, I heard familiar voices. Alessandro arrived, out

Sarah POVTears streamed down my face as the nurse placed the tiny, squirming bundle on my chest. I looked down at our child, overwhelmed by a flood of emotions: relief, joy, love, and an indescribable sense of completeness."He's perfect," I whispered, my voice choked with tears. Alessandro and Adrian leaned in, their faces reflecting the same awe and wonder I felt. For a brief moment, all the pain and turmoil of the past melted away, replaced by the pure, unadulterated joy of new life.The nurse took the baby to clean and weigh him, giving us a moment to catch our breath. Alessandro kissed my forehead, his eyes shining with pride and love. "You did amazing, Sarah. I'm so proud of you."Adrian, too, looked at me with a mixture of gratitude and respect. "Thank you for letting me be here. It means more than I can say."As I lay there, exhausted but elated, I realized that this was just the beginning of a new chapter. It wouldn't be easy, and there would be challenges ahead, but at that

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

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

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

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
