Wedcuffed Chapter 95
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

Adrian's P.O.VI was so excited to tell her that I wanted this child.I hurriedly finished up my work in LA within a week, wrapping up meetings, signing documents, and making final calls to ensure everything was handled in my absence. The moment I was done, I booked the earliest flight back to New York, my heart racing with anticipation. I couldn’t wait to see Sarah, to tell her that I was ready, that I wanted this baby, that I wanted us to try again.But all my hopes were crushed the moment I arrived and saw my wife in someone else's arms. My feet felt like they had been nailed to the ground, my breath caught in my throat as I watched her kiss another man.And just like that, the tiny shred of hope I had been holding onto was shattered.She had moved on.She had replaced me.The realization hit me like a freight train, sucking the air from my lungs.I guess he was the reason she no longer wanted to work on our marriage. Or maybe she didn’t want me in her life even if he wasn’t there.

Adrian's P.O.V"Well, I saw how tense you were, I just wanted to be there for you," Chloe whispered, her voice sultry as she moved closer to me.Her breasts pressed against my torso, her touch lingering far longer than necessary. A slow smirk played on her lips as she placed her manicured fingers around my member, her eyes dark with mischief.Before I could react, before I could push her away, she pulled the seat back and adjusted herself between my legs, her fingers deft and determined.Without wasting another moment, she freed me from my pants and took me into her mouth.For a split second, I didn't move. I didn't stop her.Maybe I was too exhausted.Maybe I was too consumed by my own torment to push her away.Or maybe, deep down, I just wanted something—anything—to take away the overwhelming storm of emotions raging inside me."I'm sure this can make you feel a lot better, Adrian," Chloe murmured against me before continuing, her lips and tongue working with practised ease.But my

Adrian’s POVBrrrrrringggg…Brrrrrringgggg…The relentless ringing of my phone shattered the silence, piercing through my sleep like an alarm screeching in my ears. My body felt heavy, weighed down by exhaustion, but the urgent sound forced me to move. Groaning, I reached out blindly, fumbling for my phone on the nightstand. My fingers finally grasped the device, but by the time I lifted it to my ear, the call had already ended.With a frustrated sigh, I sat up, immediately regretting the sudden movement. A splitting headache slammed into me, a dull, pounding ache that felt like someone hammering inside my skull. I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pain, but it only intensified. I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment before forcing myself to focus on my phone’s screen.As soon as I saw the notifications, my heart dropped.30 missed calls from Noah.20 missed calls from Dad.7 missed calls from Jessica.What the actual hell?A sinking feeling spread through my chest as I quickly dial

Adrian P.O.VI parked my car outside Amario Enterprises, gripping the steering wheel tightly as I took a deep breath. My heart pounded against my chest, and my mind was clouded with emotions. Today wasn’t just about clearing my name—it was about seeing Sarah. I owed her an explanation, and most importantly, I owed her an apology for last night.I shouldn't have reacted that way when I saw her with another man.I was the one who pushed her away. I was the one who shattered her trust.If she wanted to move on, I had no right to stop her.Sighing, I pushed the door open and stepped out of the car, straightening my suit jacket before walking toward the entrance. The moment I entered the building, I felt the weight of dozens of eyes on me. The murmur of whispers buzzed through the lobby, followed by disdainful glances in my direction.Great. Now everyone knows.Of course, they do, Adrian. It’s all over the goddamn news.I ignored the judgmental stares and strode toward the elevator, keepin

Adrian POVI took a deep breath, stepping closer to her desk, feeling the tension tighten around us like an invisible rope. “Sarah, that news about me and Chloe—it’s not true. There’s nothing going on between us. I was drunk last night when she approached me. I swear I—”“You don’t have to explain,” she interrupted me, her voice calm yet piercing.I frowned slightly. “What?”She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed as she studied me. “I already know what happened between you two.”A wave of confusion washed over me. “You… do?”Nodding, she stood up, moving toward the floor-to-ceiling window behind her desk. “Since I took over all the authority of Amario Enterprises, Chloe’s father and his family have been struggling financially. As soon as the news broke out, I knew Chloe had something to do with it.”My brows furrowed. “What are you saying?”“Chloe needed money, Adrian.” She turned to face me, her gaze sharp. “And she figured that getting involved with you would benefit her. That’s

Sarah's P.O.VIt's been a few days since that scandal was finally settled. Surprisingly, Adrian has been behaving differently nicer, even. He no longer brings up the past, nor does he ask me to give him another chance. There are no more tantrums, no more arguments. Just silence. A silence that, for now, I am grateful for.When I saw the headlines that morning, I had my doubts about the entire situation. Something didn't sit right with me, so I did some digging. A background check revealed the truth it had all been a trap, orchestrated by Chloe and Lisa to blackmail Adrian. I should have known. When I confronted Chloe, she didn’t even hesitate before demanding money in exchange for telling the truth in front of the media.I wasn’t surprised.But what unsettled me the most was my own reaction. Why did I defend Adrian? It was the perfect opportunity to expose him, to humiliate him in front of the entire world. I could have ended everything and announced our divorce once and for all. And

Sarah’s POVEster’s words lingered in my mind like an unshakable echo."He wanted to keep this hidden, Sarah. We all just want to finish the project so you can finally get out of that marriage with that jerk," she had said firmly, her voice laced with conviction.Her words only added to my growing confusion about Alessandro.On one hand, he had been acting as though I didn’t exist, his cold indifference cutting through me like a knife. On the other, he was helping me behind my back, making sure I had a way out of this unwanted marriage. It didn’t make sense. Why go to such lengths in silence? Why distance himself so much while secretly ensuring my freedom?Was it guilt? Obligation? Or something else entirely?Shoving my emotions aside, I took a deep breath and responded in a steady tone. "We need to inform the Parkers about the project's completion. Once that’s done, we can discuss a date for the resort’s opening."I masked my emotions in front of Ester, unwilling to drag her into my

Wedcuffed Chapter 234
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
Wedcuffed Chapter 233
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
Wedcuffed Chapter 232
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
Wedcuffed Chapter 231
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
Wedcuffed Chapter 230
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
Wedcuffed Chapter 227
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
Wedcuffed Chapter 226
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
