Wedcuffed Chapter 195
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 POVThe kitchen air seems tight, almost like it could be cut with a knife. The perfume of new coffee mingles with the sizzling of butter, yet the soothing scent does not erase the perceptible unease in the environment. Adrian flops into a chair without permission, his movements fluid and calculated, like he's staking his claim on the instant. As he observes me, Alessandro's anxiety seems like a soft wind stroking my skin. He doesn't need to say anything, but I can tell he's preparing for what's about to happen. To calm myself, I inhale deeply and swallow the terror that is gripping my chest.Perhaps the surprise visit is just that—an uneasy interruption, a hiccup in the road Alessandro and I are at last smoothing over. Perhaps it’s one of them, though—a moment that tips everything, that skews the ground right from under your feet.I catch Alessandro's eye, hunting for something firm, something stable. He regards me with a small, firm nod—a tacit promise without words: I'm her

Sarah's POVNext to me, Alessandro moves ever so slightly. His voice is steady and calm, but there’s a hard edge to his tone that isn't hard to miss. “We have been working on the relationship—trying to rebuild something together. I know that you care, but I think it’s necessary that we get through this on our own.”Adrian glances quickly over at Alessandro and in that moment the air between them thickens with stifled tension. Then his eyes come back to mine. "I understand. I just didn't know how serious things were between the two of you. I guess I'm trying to get my bearings in all of it."A wave of something—guilt and possibly frustration, maybe both—pushes against my ribs. I take a deep breath, calming the emotions that seek to surface. “Hey, Adrian, listen to me. You need to know that I am working to rebuild my relationship with Alessandro. I told you that I need to focus on that. Your being there at the moment... it makes things complicated."For the first time ever, when he came

Sarah's POVDuring the days that followed Adrian's impromptu arrival, tension between Alessandro and I began to wane. We had shared a horrible ordeal and were meant to be done with it, yet the aftereffects of Adrian's presence lingered over our relationship. When it seemed like everything was all right again between Alessandro and I, some nagging voice in my head consistently brought back memories of the past—Adrian's presence, his charm, and the disruption he tended to cause. I found I could no longer ignore it. If I really sought peace between Alessandro and I, I needed to face it head-onIt was on one of the most beautiful afternoons ever that I ultimately decided to contact Adrian. Sunlight streamed through the curtains, creating a golden path on the floor, yet despite the light, a shiver ran down my spine Choosing the right words proved challenging, but I understood they had to be expressedMessage to AdrianHi Adrian.

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

Adrian’s POVThe city still felt cold, but the chill in my bones had shifted not from warmth, but from purpose. I finally had a plan.I sat at my desk, eyes fixed on Alessandro’s digital trail. His online presence lit up like a roadmap—threads of the past just waiting to be pulled. But I knew better now. Whispers and half-truths wouldn’t be enough. If I wanted to break them, I needed more than suspicion. I needed leverage. Misdirection.And I needed someone on the inside.That’s when it clicked.Chloe.Sarah’s perfect little world had always been cracked at the edges, and Chloe was one of those cracks. They were step-sisters in name, but anyone who spent five minutes with them knew there was no love lost. I remembered the subtle digs Chloe made at family dinners, the way Sarah would force a smile and pretend not to hear. But I heard them. I felt the tension.Chloe didn’t just dislike Sarah, she resented her.That kind of bitterness? It could be moulded. Turned into something useful.I

Sarah’s POV New York City’s noise had always been oddly comforting, the honking cabs, distant sirens, and hurried footsteps on pavement. But today, it felt too loud, too sharp, like it was echoing the storm still raging inside me. It had been a week since we’d returned from the farmhouse. Seven days of strained silences, clipped conversations, and the kind of emotional distance I never thought I’d feel between Alessandro and me. I still hadn’t fully processed everything. I had hardly gotten any sleep. Whenever I shut my eyes, I envisioned the expression on his face as I turned to leave.But how was I meant to simply act as if it never occurred? He had kept something huge from me. Not just about Mira, but about how little he must have trusted me—to think I couldn’t handle the truth, to let someone like Adrian be the one to reveal it. After everything we’d fought for, the secrets still found a way to wedge themselves between us. And it hurt. Today marked my return to the office aft

Alessandro’s POVI stood there, watching the woman I loved crumble in front of me, her eyes scanning that godforsaken document Adrian had handed her like it was a grenade. AAnd maybe it was due to my awareness of the explosion the moment her face shifted from confusion to disbelief to something that scared me more than any anger. Proximity. Although she was merely a few feet distant, it felt as if she stood across a canyon, unreachable. God, I wanted to fix it. But how do you fix something you didn’t even know was still broken?In the past, I thought I’d buried it. That nightmare with Mira... it had happened years ago, in a life that felt a million miles away from who I am now. I had been young, foolish, and too trusting. I never touched her. I never crossed any line. But when things ended, Mira spiralled. I tried to reason with her, but she twisted everything. She wanted revenge. And she got it in the worst way.I never expected it to follow me here, to this life. This future I’d bee
