Sarah POV

Superior Family Court, Manhattan

The courtroom didn’t just smell old, it was practically marinated in stale arguments and dust. So much for those grand, marble palaces you see on TV.

This one?

More like a grandma’s closet stuffed with forgotten junk. Every throat clear and chair squeak bounced around like a nervous squirrel. You could feel the pressure, like the whole place was one sigh away from popping.

Alessandro squeezed my hand, looked all cool on the outside, but, trust me, his pulse was doing backflips. His thumb continued to draw these slow, random circles, like, was he attempting to signal “relax, we’ve got this” in Morse code or something?

In the meantime, I was hanging on so tightly that my fingers might have been turning blue, as if I had been thrown into the deep end armed only with a partially inflated float

And then, ugh, Adrian. Sitting there, right across from us, practically dripping with smugness.

Honestly, he looked like the sort of someone who’d actually

    Alessandro’s POVJail Facility, New YorkThe sterile drone of the visitation room droned in my ears like an invisible, annoying insect. I sat motionless, my elbows resting on the chilly metal table, my hands clasped together in anticipation.I envisioned this meeting in countless ways. I had envisioned anger.Aggression. Contentment.Yet now that I found myself here, what I experienced was something completely differentI wanted to see him.I wanted to see what was left of him when the spotlight was gone. When his kingdom had crumbled.When the door clanged open, and Adrian was marched inside, I didn’t know what I expected.But I didn’t expect him to still look so… polished.Crisp prison-issued shirt tucked in neatly. Hair still combed back. Chin lifted in that same rehearsed defiance.He walked in like he still believed this wasn’t real. Like someone would come along any minute now and explain it had all been a big misunderstanding.And yet, his eyes.His eyes were frantic.I didn’t

    Sarah’s POVSame Day EveningThe sky’s colours reversed from dark to a vibrant navy blue that calms you when you’ve had a long day. The soft sound of the city beneath, which was none the wiser about what had transpired hours before in that room.Adrian’s fate was sealed. The gavel had fallen.And I thought, naively, that relief would hit me like a wave. That some kind of peace would come rushing in to sweep away the weight.But peace, I realised, wasn’t loud or dramatic. It didn’t knock the wind out of you. It was subtle.Like suddenly noticing that the air isn’t as heavy, even if your body doesn’t quite know how to relax just yet.Gabriel had fallen asleep early; maybe he felt the shift in me. Like whatever I had been holding in had worn him down, too. Alessandro had gone out to wrap up a few things with the lawyers. Ester had made soup and left strict instructions to call if I needed anything.Which, knowing her, meant “when,” not “if.”I was in the living room, wrapped around a mug

    Sarah POVMy lawyer’s voice was sharp and unforgiving.“Your Honor, we submit this as irrefutable evidence of Mr. Parker’s mindset, his self-admitted manipulation, marital rape, and his belief that his marriage gives him ongoing ownership of Ms. Darell’s body and their child.”Adrian’s lawyer scrambled to her feet, her voice strained and urgent.“Your Honor, we contest this recording. It could have been taken under duress, without consent,there’s no verified source. It could have, ”“It’s fake!” Adrian suddenly exploded, rising from his chair so fast it screeched across the floor.“That recording is edited! I never said that! That’s not even me!”The judge’s gavel slammed once, sharp and commanding. “Mr. Parker, sit down.”But Adrian wasn’t done.“Alessandro did this!” he shouted, eyes wild. “He forced me, he abducted me! He’s behind it all. He manipulated the video, this is entrapment!”His voice cracked with desperation as he pointed across the room.“He threatened me! He had me loc

    Sarah’s POVSuperior Family Court, Manhattan – Final HearingI walked into the courtroom feeling like my skin didn’t fit right. Like I was wearing someone else’s life. But the weight of it was mine.Eight days.That’s how long I had to sit in the silence, to let every fear chew me alive, to wonder if the truth would hold, if it would be enough.And now, here I was.Final hearing.Final chance.I could feel Alessandro’s presence beside me, his thumb drawing those slow, steady circles into my palm again, like a silent promise. Like he’d never stopped. Ester was right behind us, solid as ever. She caught my eye and nodded once, fiercely.But still, my chest was tight. My heart roared like it wanted to crack through my ribs and leap straight into the judge’s hands.Adrian sat across the room.Same calm face. Same mask.Like he believed today was just a formality. Like he thought the game was still in his hands.From today, things won't be the same. Today, our future will be changed forev

    Sarah POVDays went by, much akin to how drops of water fall down the window on a rainy day. I could no longer sense time in any way since all it felt like was moving from one moment to another as slowly as possible.Identifying where one day ends or where the next starts really did not matter to me anymore.Adding to all this, there was an endless amount of distractions in life that made it impossible for me to experience even a sliver of silence.The news cycles wouldn't stop.“Sarah Darell, CEO of Amarioo Enterprises, Accused of Ruining Family for Alleged Affair.”“Adrian Parker: The Victim Husband Fighting for His Son.”“Sources Confirm Alessandro Dante’s Role in Sarah Darell’s Life—Is This More Than Business?”Every headline felt like a knife. Every whisper I caught in the grocery store, the lingering glances when I dared step outside, chipped away at me.I wasn’t just fighting Adrian anymore.I was fighting the world.They were in love with him, Adrian, you polished, you charming

    Sarah’s POV I sat there, my fists balled up so hard I could feel my nails cutting crescents into my palm. I couldn't, though, get them to wriggle. I couldn't take my gaze away from Adrian as he took the stand. I couldn't stop listening-no, no, enduring, every lie that came so readily from his lips.It was like watching a well-rehearsed play. His posture is perfect. His tone was warm. Honey-dipped words smothered in enough regret to make him human.The very one who had held me down. The same man who disregarded my cries, my tears, my shattered ‘no’s.The same man who tormented me for a year during our marriage. And here he was now, playing the misunderstood father, the man who just longed to be part of his son’s life. “I never forced myself on her. Never intentionally.” He spoke bluntly.I wanted to scream. The way those words cracked inside me, it wasn’t just one window shattering, it was the whole house caving in. Not on purpose. As if his hands had slipped. As though his weigh
