Accidental Love 26. Sarah: Milan
Sarah’s Point of view: As we leveled off, I gazed out the window, watching the clouds drift by. Ethan joined me, his shoulder brushing mine. "Milan's going to be amazing," he said. "I've got a few surprises planned." I smiled, feeling excited. "I can't wait." Ethan's phone buzzed, breaking the moment. He glanced at the screen, his expression turning serious. "Excuse me for a minute." He stepped away, taking the call. I took the opportunity to collect my thoughts. Being around Ethan made me feel alive. But I couldn't shake off the feeling. That I wasn't ready for whatever this was. Not yet. The flight attendant interrupted my musings. "Can I refill your champagne, Ms.?" I nodded, smiling. “Call me Sarah” “Okay, Ms Sarah.” "Thank you." As Ethan returned, his eyes locked onto mine. "Everything okay?" I asked. He nodded. "Just work" We chatted effortlessly until the pilot announced our descent. As we began our approach into Milan.

Accidental Love 27. Sarah: Ember
Sarah’s Point of view:As soon as we disembarked from the car, we settled into the plane. But it didn’t move. I wondered why we hadn’t taken off yet."Why are we still on the ground? Is there an issue with the plane?" I asked.Ethan replied, "No, we're waiting for someone.""Oh," I replied, curious.A few minutes later, a gorgeous woman embarked. My eyes widened as I took in her stunning appearance. Tall and slender, with curves in all the right places. Her dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her siren-shaped hazel eyes sparkled with confidence. She was clothed in designer attire - a fitted Chanel suit, Louboutin heels, and a diamond necklace that gleamed in the light.The woman's presence commanded attention. I felt a pang of jealousy, surprising myself. Why would I feel jealousy? Who was this mysterious woman? And why were they waiting for her?Ethan stood up to hug her. "Emberly," he said, warmth in his voice."Darling," she replied, giving him a kiss on his cheek.

As we stepped out of the plane, the cool night air enveloped us, a refreshing change from the warmth of Milan. Ethan turned to Ember. "I'll drive Sarah home. You can take the car, Emberly." Ember nodded, smiling. Then, Ember suddenly dragged me into a tight hug. "It was nice meeting you, Sarah," Ember said, her voice warm. "Can I have your number?" Ember asked. I smiled, feeling a connection with Ember. "Yeah, sure," I replied, sharing my number. Ember grinned, typing it into her phone. "I really enjoyed your company," Ember said. "Me too," I replied, meaning it. Ember released me from the hug, and I saw Ethan watching us with a smile. "Take care, Sarah," "You too, Ember." I replied. Ethan's driver helped Ember into the car, and she waved goodbye as they drove off. Ethan turned to me. "Let's

Accidental Love 62. Sarah: The party
Sarah’s Point of view: I stood transfixed before the mirror, mesmerized by the reflection staring back at me. The stranger's fiery red hair and captivating features were unmistakably mine, yet utterly transformed. The navy blue gown hugged my curves in all the right places, its sculpted square neckline framing my face. The twisted waist detail accentuated my slender figure, while the dramatic long cape sleeves and subtle shoulder padding added an air of sophistication.

My face heated up, and I couldn't deny the thrill that ran through me. Ethan's gentle touch, his soft lips... I had enjoyed it, no matter how much I wanted to pretend otherwise.But now, I needed to avoid him. Or at least, try to. Today was crucial for the contract, and we had to put on a united front.
