Sarah POVFlashback StartsThat day, like every other, I walked home from school with my head down, trying to drown out the giggles and whispers behind me. Chloe and Jessica were trailing a few steps behind, their high-pitched laughter cutting through the air like knives. I didn’t have to turn around to know they were making fun of me—again.I clenched my fists but kept walking, pretending I couldn’t hear them. Confronting them never did any good. It only made their torment worse.Once I reached home, I hurried past the living room, ignoring the sound of the television and Lisa’s voice in the background. I bolted up the stairs, two at a time, and entered my room, closing the door behind me.Dropping my school bag by the desk, I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror. My heart sank as my gaze traveled down to my white pants. A large, vivid red stain spread across the back.Panic seized me. What was this? Blood? My hands trembled as I changed out of the pants, pulling down my under

Sarah’s POVI don’t know why I expected him to support me in this. I don’t know why it hurts this much.The moment I told Adrian I was pregnant, I saw the panic flash in his eyes—a flicker of something raw and unsettling. And then came the words—the ones I can’t forget, no matter how hard I try.“You can’t keep it, Sarah. It’ll ruin everything. Think about us, our careers… our future.”Those were his exact words, cold and calculated, like I was a business decision gone wrong. My stomach churns just thinking about it. The father of my child saw this as a mistake, a problem to be erased. And yet, I was foolish enough to think he’d stand by me, that there was still some trace of the man I once loved.I should’ve known better. Adrian has always been about control—about things fitting neatly into his version of life. A baby? That didn’t fit his carefully curated image.The memory of that night plays on a relentless loop in my head. The sting of rejection, the hollow ache that settled in my

Sarah’s POVThe drive to the office is uneventful, though my mind is anything but calm. My thoughts are a chaotic mess, replaying countless scenarios where Alessandro rejects me, telling me he’s done, that he doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore. I try to shake the intrusive thoughts away, but they cling to me like a shadow.The city buzzes around me as I navigate the streets, indifferent to my inner turmoil. Skyscrapers loom above, their glass windows reflecting the morning sunlight, but even the vibrant energy of the city does little to soothe my anxiety.When I finally pull into the parking lot, I take a moment to collect myself, resting my forehead against the steering wheel. “Get it together,” I whisper to myself. With a deep breath, I straighten up, grab my bag, and step out of the car.The sound of my heels clicking against the polished marble floor echoes as I enter the building. The familiar scent of coffee and office air freshener greets me, a strange comfort in its p

Sarah’s POVThe meeting room buzzes with energy as my team discusses investment details, their voices blending into a steady hum. I try to focus, but my thoughts are scattered, like leaves caught in a whirlwind. My fingers fidget with the corner of my notepad as I glance at the door, anticipation twisting my insides.And then he walks in.Alessandro Dante.My breath catches in my throat. He looks effortlessly handsome in a dark charcoal suit, the tailored fabric hugging his broad shoulders perfectly. The top buttons of his crisp white shirt are undone, revealing a tantalizing hint of his tanned skin. His stubble is darker, giving him an even more rugged appearance.My heart thuds painfully against my ribs.Our eyes meet for a brief, electric moment before he looks away, his expression cold and distant.My heart sinks.The Alessandro I know is warm, charming, and attentive—a man who lights up any room he enters. But this version of him is a stranger, distant and unreadable.Ester’s voi

Sarah POVIt was a quiet Sunday evening, and I found myself sprawled lazily on the couch, indulging in my third tub of chocolate fudge ice cream. The creamy sweetness melted on my tongue, offering a temporary escape from the whirlwind of thoughts swirling in my mind. The living room was bathed in the warm glow of the lamp by the corner, casting long shadows across the walls as the television flickered with yet another episode of Friends. Chandler’s witty sarcasm barely registered in my ears as I absentmindedly spooned another bite of ice cream.Pregnancy cravings were no joke. I had read countless articles about them, but living through the experience was entirely different. One moment I craved tangy pickles, and the next, it was all about sweet indulgences. With how things were going, I was pretty sure I'd be gaining a significant amount of weight soon—and honestly, I didn't care. My baby’s well-being came first.The comforting aroma of freshly cooked food wafted from the kitchen, mi

Sarah POVAs I continued eating my ice cream, my mind wandered through various scenarios. Alessandro loved meI knew that much—but the fact that I carried Adrian’s child filled me with anxiety. What if Alessandro didn’t want the baby? The thought terrified me.He wanted a future with me, but he hadn’t said anything about the baby yet. I feared that he might tell me he didn’t want the child, and if that was the case, I would have no choice but to leave him. I loved Alessandro deeply, but I couldn’t compromise my child. My baby was my top priority.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, pulling me out of my turbulent thoughts. The sound echoed through the apartment, sharp and unexpected. I put down the ice cream tub, wiped my hands on a napkin, and made my way to the door.My heart raced slightly as I approached, the weight of my thoughts still heavy on my mind. Who could it be at this hour? Peeking through the peephole, I saw a familiar silhouette standing on the other side.Taking a steadying br

Sarah POVI immediately dove in, savouring the sweet treat. Alessandro sat beside me, watching with amusement.Even though he was incredibly busy managing his companies in Italy and the U.S., he always made time for me. He never failed to make me feel special.Once I finished my doughnut, I got up to put the leftovers in the kitchen. When I returned, Alessandro had already made himself comfortable, his tie and blazer discarded. He was watching Friends on TV.I curled up beside him, and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close."I missed you, Alessandro," I whispered."And I missed you more, Sarah," he replied, his voice low.I looked up at him, studying his tired face. "Did you have a long day?""Yes, but having you in my arms makes everything better," he said, caressing my hair.Being with him made me feel safe, something I had never felt before, not even with Adrian or my father.As I gazed at him, our lips met in a slow, passionate kiss. Time seemed to stop as we lost oursel

Adrian's P.O.V"Do whatever you want, but remember, once he is done using you, he will leave you, Sarah, and then I won't take a used woman like you again in my life."The words left my lips like venom, laced with anger and bitterness, each syllable striking with cruel precision. Even as I said them, a part of me winced at how harsh they sounded, how much they would wound her, but the other part the part controlled by rage and jealousy did not care.Without another word, I stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind me with such force that the walls seemed to tremble. My heart pounded violently in my chest, and my breath came in ragged gasps as I fought to suppress the tidal wave of emotions threatening to drown me.Sarah. My Sarah. My wife.She stood there, unmoving, watching me go. There was something unreadable in her expression pain? Anger? Indifference? I wasn't sure. I forced myself to look away, to not see the devastation I had undoubtedly caused. I didn’t want to face t

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
