Wedcuffed Chapter 192
Adrian POVI work and do errands for the remainder of the evening in an attempt to block off my thoughts, but to no avail. No matter what I do, Sarah is always on my thoughts. Her furrowed brows as I talked and the moment of hesitation in her gaze when I brought up Alessandro are like a scene replayed in my mind, and I wonder whether she feels the same way. Torn. unsure. she was doubting everything she believed. I'm just getting into bed later that night when my phone pings against the nightstand. Her name flashes on the screen, and I reach for it, my heart pounding. Message from Sarah: Hello, Adrian We appreciate you getting in touch. Thanks for that. Would it be possible for us to have that coffee this week? Now I could use a friend. I'll notify you as soon as I'm free. I read her words and a gentle smile appears. I specifically wanted this. She is contacting me, confiding in me, and choose me. A tiny jolt of fulfillment runs through my body. Even though it's just

Sarah POVI sit with my hands around a cup of coffee that has long since gone cold at the wooden table, which is warmly lit by warm sunlight streaming in through the café window. Only a faint murmur remains after the flurry of conversations around me has been drowned out by the ideas racing through my head. Since I last spoke with Adrian, the previous several days have been an emotional roller coaster. His well-chosen and well-placed statements have been eating away at the edges of my willpower. The seeds he sowed, doubts, have sprouted, and I have been fighting to prevent them from spreading. But I refuse to let them control me.I close my eyes briefly, inhaling the familiar scent of roasted coffee beans, letting the warmth of the café ground me. I have to focus focus on what truly matters. Alessandro. My relationship with him. I need to understand him better, to bridge the gap that has been steadily widening between us. If I let Adrian’s words cloud my judgment, I would be doing b

Sarah POVAs I approach, I force a smile, pushing down the flutter of nerves in my stomach. “Hey.”He looks up, his tense expression softening slightly. He stands, offering me a small, appreciative smile before taking my hand. “Hey, Sarah. You look great.”“Thanks,” I say, squeezing his hand gently before slipping into my seat. “You do too.”We start with small talk how our days went, the usual pleasantries. Alessandro listens attentively, but I can tell he’s distracted. His eyes dart away every now and then, his fingers tapping lightly against the table, a sure sign that something is weighing on him.Determined to break through the surface-level conversation, I take a sip of water and lean in slightly. “So,” I begin, keeping my tone light, “how’s work been lately? You seem a bit off.”His jaw tightens, and for a moment, I think he’s going to brush it off. But then he sighs, running a hand through his dark hair. “It’s been busy. You know how it is.” He pauses, then adds, “But that’s no

Sarah POVI sit at a wooden table with my hands around a cup of coffee that has long since cooled, and the warm sunlight pouring through the café window creates a lovely glow. With so many thoughts rushing through my head, the clamor of voices around me is reduced to a faint hum. The previous three days have been an emotional rollercoaster since my last conversation with Adrian. His well-chosen and well-placed comments have eaten away at the margins of my willpower. He planted doubts, and I've been battling to keep them from growing out of control. But I won't let them dominate me. I close my eyes briefly, smelling the familiar fragrance of roasted coffee beans, and let the café's warmth to center me. I need to focus—on what is genuinely important. Alessandro. My relationship with him. I need to understand him better, to bridge the gap that has been steadily widening between us. If I let Adrian’s words cloud my judgment, I would be doing both Alessandro and myself a diss

Sarah’s POVI force a smile, trying to hide the flutter of nerves in my stomach. “Hey.”He looks up at me, his expression tight, but it softens just a little when he sees me. He stands, offering me a small smile, before taking my hand in his. “Hey, Sarah. You look great.”“Thanks,” I say, squeezing his hand gently before slipping into my seat. “You look good, too.”We start off with the usual small talk—the day-to-day stuff, the typical pleasantries that don’t really go anywhere. Alessandro listens intently, but I can see something’s off. His eyes dart away every so often, and his fingers tap lightly against the table, the way they always do when he’s distracted. I know there’s more going on behind the surface.I decide to push a little further, to try and get past the walls we’ve been building. I take a sip of water, then lean in a bit, keeping my tone casual. “So... how’s work been? You seem a little... off.”His jaw tightens, and for a split second, I think he’s going to brush it of

Sarah’s POVIt’s in moments like this—when everything else falls away and it’s just the two of us—that I really feel the weight of everything we’ve been through. All the missteps, the distance, the difficult conversations… they’ve somehow led us here. Not to perfection, not to a neat resolution, but to a quiet kind of closeness. And that, I think, might matter more than anything else.When we’re wrapped up in each other like this, with no distractions or doubts slipping between us, something shifts. Every touch has a sense of purpose. Every breath we take together seems to be a tacit pledge to continue being there for one another, to continue choosing one another through difficult times. We've made big announcements before, and they don't always stand up when things get messy in real life, so there's no need for them now. However, this? This seems genuine. Everything feels gentler as I lie here in his embrace. My own ideas, the world, and the anxieties. Something inside of me th

Sarah POV The kitchen is bathed in warm morning light as I start gathering ingredients. I pull my hair up into a loose bun and tie Alessandro’s oversized hoodie around my waist, enjoying the familiar scent of him clinging to the fabric. The aroma of freshly made coffee permeates the air, and I murmur gently while chopping veggies and whisking eggs. There is something calming about the simplicity of this moment—the act of making something with my own hands for someone I care about. I preheat the pan and start preparing pancakes, enjoying the comfortable rhythm of cooking. The sizzling of batter on a hot skillet and the delicious fragrance of butter melting fill the room, making my tummy groan with anticipation. I'm plating the first batch when I hear Alessandro's footsteps coming down the hallway. He comes into the kitchen with his t-shirt sleeves haphazardly pushed up and his hair disheveled from sleep. He smiles wearily as he wipes his eyes. He says, "Good morning," his voice st

Sarah POV We move in perfect sync in the kitchen, our bodies sliding into a natural beat as we cook breakfast together. The aroma of sizzling butter and toasty spices permeates the air, blending with the soft murmur of our laughter. It seems smooth and natural, like falling into a comfortable groove. Alessandro goes for the same chopping board that I use, his hands brushing against mine. The brief contact sends a surge through me, and I look up at him, catching my breath somewhat. He notices. His lips twisted into a knowing smile, and the rest of the world slipped away. "You're distracted," he remarked, amused. I smirk and shake my head. "You wish." His laughter is deep and beautiful, enveloping me like a comforting hug. As the food on the stove begins to sizzle, Alessandro gently nudges me with his hip, pulling me closer to him. His touch is light, almost teasing, but there’s something deeper in the way he looks at me. “Sarah,” he says, his voice dropping into a whispe

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 ke

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

Sarah POVI gazed at my reflection in the mirror, wrapped in my robe, with Alessandro's text shining like a ray of hope in my hand."I understand we've had a rough patch. But if you can spare one night, I'd like to attempt to fix things.No expectations. Just you, me, and a little honesty. I’ll be waiting.”My heart ached. The sincerity in those words hit something raw inside me. I missed him, missed us. Missed the warmth of our mornings, the soft laughter that once filled our home. But pain changes things. Doubt makes strangers of the people you love most.Just then, there was a knock.“Come in,” I called, not looking up.I recognised the perfume before the door fully opened. Chanel No. 5. Chloe's signature. Of course.She stepped inside like a queen visiting a kingdom she meant to burn down.Silk robe fastened with precision, wine glass clutched like a villain in a sad drama. She always loved to put on a show."Going out tonight?" she inquired, her eyes sparkling as they darted to th

Alessandro’s POVIt had been ten days since we returned from the farmhouse. Ten days since everything unraveled.I sensed Sarah drifting further away from me, bit by bit, like sand slipping through an hourglass.She hadn’t raised her voice. She hadn’t lashed out. But her silence said more than any screaming match could. The way she avoided eye contact. The way her footsteps always trailed toward the guest room instead of ours. The way she smiled politely, but not warmly, when I handed her coffee in the mornings.I’d made a mistake. A big one.Not because of Mira, not entirely. That chapter of my life had been over years ago. And Mira’s accusations had never made sense to begin with. But I should’ve told Sarah everything the moment we got serious. I should’ve trusted her with my truth before someone like Adrian could twist it.God, Adrian.Even now, the thought of his smug face as he dropped that bomb still made my jaw clench. He’d timed it perfectly right when we were finding peace. W
