Sarah POV

A few steps back, I noticed a captain whose face was completely devoid of colour. Words seemed to want to escape from his lips, but they were nowhere to be found.

His still figure, rigid and motionless, also changed his hands into fists, which revealed the stress he was holding.

This was simply too much to handle. My thoughts were fragmented, unable to reach a coherent conclusion.

“Do tell me this isn’t the case,” I spoke in my flat voice. “Please tell me this is some unexpected blunder that someone made. That this… this woman is lying.

Alessandro took a slow step toward me, but stopped when he saw me flinch not in fear, but in raw emotional recoil. That hurt in a way I couldn’t describe.

The reflection of his features contorted with agony.

"Sarah," a soft admission escaped as his throat felt like it was choked with raw feelings.

“That's not the case.”

We were close once, back in college. Yes, we dated for a few months, but when things didn’t work out, she didn’t take

    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 thoughts 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 was something fragile yet immensely valuable, at that time I felt a small wight lift off my chestHis hand would gently rest on my belly, staying there quietly, as if he was 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 sink, while Gabriel’s laughter spilled through the apartment, the metal warm from my skin.

    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.

    Sarah POVThe morning of Ester’s wedding came like a sigh, gentle, gilded, gentle. The sunlight poured through the windows in quiet ribbons, the room warm with a hush that felt sacred, like even the day itself was bending for her.In the mirror, pinning back a curl, I glanced down at where my hand had come to rest involuntarily, strategically, perhaps, but involuntarily, right over my stomach.Just under three months. It was still hard to believe most days.Today felt different. Lighter. Full of something that might’ve been hope.Because today wasn’t about me.Today belonged to Ester.By midmorning the room was a soft frenzy, brushes flip-flopping, lace shaking, voices ricocheting among instruction and giggling.The makeup artist dusted powder under Ester’s eyes with downy lightness, and the hairstylist knotted her curls into an updo that looked casually elegant, but I guessed couldn't possibly have been.I was in all memory, bustling around her, fixing her veil, smoothing the satin o

    Sarah POV The clinic smelled of antiseptic mixed with paper and a hint of sweet, sterile memories to assume I had been in a lot of similar waiting areas. I was sitting in the room waiting for the doctor to come back, and literally clicked my legs over and over and was moving them back and forth, anything to distract them and me. I was so anxious I literally thought the doctor would catch my nerves from me when she came back for the consultation.Her smile was kind, reassurance in a way that made me sit taller. “You’re around 2.5 months along.” She proclaimed with enthusiasm while basking in healthful glow of me being appreciably healthy.“Congratulations, Sarah,” she said with a cheerasive spirit. accepting handouts while maintaining good eye contact.2.5 months.The number echoed in my head like it had weight. Like something real had just taken shape inside me. It wasn’t just two faint pink lines anymore, it was a heartbeat.A beginning. A piece of me. A piece of Alessandro.Upon
