Adrian POV

The cold air bites at my skin as I step out of the café, the sharp wind cutting through my coat like a blade. I barely register the chill, too fixated on the way Sarah's figure disappears into the hazy glow of the streetlights. My breath fogs in the night air, my chest tight with something I don’t want to name. Guilt? Maybe. But it’s quickly drowned out by something darker, something more consuming—a grim sense of determination.

I knew telling her about Alessandro would hurt her. I saw it in the way her lips parted in shock, how her fingers trembled slightly as she grasped the edge of the table, holding on as if I’d physically shaken her. But it had to be done. She deserves the truth, no matter how painful. I did what I had to do.

Still, I can’t shake the echo of her voice, the hesitant way she whispered, "Are you sure?" as if she wanted—needed—me to be wrong. The doubt in her eyes was fleeting, but it was there. A seed planted. A fracture forming. Exactly what I needed. Ex

    Sarah POVThe Wedding DayOur wedding day started under a calm grey sky, as if the clouds were anticipating the moment. The atmosphere was still, a hush that caused me to pause before acting, as if the cosmos was offering me a moment.I felt our baby moving quietly under me as I lay in bed with my hand caressing the little curve of my tummy. It was more of a whisper than a kick, actually.A reminder.All jumbled up in nerves and disbelief, my heart was beating like crazy.This was the day.Our day.And for a moment, just a breath, I let fear in.What if something went wrong?What if it was too much, too fast?What if this ended up being another painful memory, instead of the beginning of something new?Then Alessandro stirred beside me. Drowsy, he reached for me as he usually did, automatically.My thumb makes tiny circles on the back of my hand as my fingers dance around mine. His voice was gruff from slumber; his cheek nuzzled the curve of my neck.My love, he whispered, today belon

    Alessandro POVOnly a couple of days were left before the wedding, and I was beginning to feel those wierd feelings.My goodness, that was enough to keep me up at night because I wasn't just getting married, I was marrying her. Sarah. She was the most selfless person I had ever met, she had endured hell and still managed to get out of bed each day, smile for her kid, for me and show love.Every time I saw her, hand gently rubbing over the small of her belly, or laughing softly at something Gabriel had done. I couldn’t believe this was real. I was going to be her husband.I was going to raise Gabriel, with her and soon we’d have another child together.I was thrilled.And terrified aswell.Not of the commitment.But of failing her.I wanted this day to be perfect for her. No flaws, no last-minute panics, no cold feet, especially not from me.So I’d taken control of almost everything, venue checks, guest coordination, managing the floral arrangements, organizing the catering to make

    Sarah POVIn the days that followed, life didn’t turn into a fairytale. It turned into something softer.Quieter.Real.There were days when all the emotions came back, rushing to my mind, like the waves hitting the shore. I couldn't shake off the thought that Alessandro might just leave me.But when I turned in my bed, there he was propped up on one elbow, looking at me in awe, as if I were something fragile yet immensely valuable. At that time, I felt a small weight lift off my chestHis hand would gently rest on my belly, staying there quietly, as if he were silently greeting the baby.At first, the ring on my finger felt strange, almost a little too heavy. Not because it wasn’t beautiful, it was.But because of everything it meant. It meant trust, a new promise, and a home rebuilt not on forgetting the past, but on accepting it.I caught myself turning it over with my thumb while standing at the

    Alessandro POVI’ve been in meetings where billion-dollar numbers floated between breaths; rooms where decisions rewrote cities, changed skylines, and left entire companies gasping for air.But nothing, nothing, unravelled me like her words did."I am pregnant"For an instant, everything within me came to a halt. The boardroom transformed into a haze of muted attire, moving documents, and voices that felt remote, unimportant.All I saw was her, Sarah. Pale. Breathless. Shoulders pulled in tight, like she was bracing for something.She’d been carrying this alone.For weeks.And I hadn’t seen it.My first instinct, God, it shames me now, was fear.Not fear of the baby itself, but of failing them.Of becoming him. Of becoming Adrian.And that terrified me more than anything.My mouth opened, but the words didn’t come. The only thing I managed was the worst thing,I turned. And walked away.Outside, the city felt too small for the thoughts tearing through me.Footfalls merged with the buz

    Sarah’s POVI don’t remember leaving the office.I just remember his back.Alessandro acted like an immovable wall; he didn’t even look in my direction. Ultimately, I find myself in the bathroom, clutching the edge of the sink, as the potent scent of antiseptic soap lingers in the air like a request in my throat.The heels click on along the marble floor, click-clack, click-clack, regulated and predictable to a millisecond, a soundless signal to my nerves to take measures only after I’ve safely prepared for them.However, it did not. It held onto my chest, encircling me so snugly I could scarcely take a breath.Why didn’t he say anything? Why did he just… walk out?The inquiries rushed in, intertwining, suffocating the breath in my chest. My chest lost the ability to rise and fall, my stomach twisted inwards, not with nausea, but with fear.Outside, the city kept moving. Honks continued to sound. Individuals continued to hurry by me, conversing on their phones as if nothing had chang

    Sarah POVAfter Ester got married, things were a little too quiet.She and Noah had flown to some warm, ocean-blue place, leaving behind the low buzz of laughter, twinkles of fairy lights, and promises that reverberated softly in my chest.The apartment, which had been alive with pre-wedding energy, felt quiet now. But work, as it often does, found ways to talk the silence away.Today was a big one.My firm had been finalising an ambitious architecture collaboration, and Alessandro, through his investment group, was backing a portion of the project.We’d worked together in the past, but to be facing him across a glass-walled boardroom still made my heart flutter.He was well dressed in tailored suite, and serious, every line of his body taut with intent.The same man who makes loves to me every night, who smoothed Gabriel’s hair while he slept, now deep in discussion over projections and timelines.Sometimes I couldn’t believe we lived both those lives, public and private.
