last update Last Updated: 2024-10-08 22:47:52

Sarah’s Point of view:

I sat beside Emily's bed, holding her hand and talking softly to her.

"Emily, it's me, Sarah. I'm here for you. You're going to wake up, and everything will be okay."

Ethan sat in the chair beside me, his eyes fixed on Emily's face.

"We're here for you, Em," he said, his voice low.

I glanced at Ethan, grateful for his support.

"Thank you for being here," I whispered.

Ethan smiled.

"I'll always be here for you and Emily."

As the hours passed, I continued to talk to Emily, sharing memories and stories.

I told her about our childhood adventures, our laughter, and our tears.

I reminded her of our promises to each other, of our unbreakable bond.

Ethan listened quietly, his eyes never leaving Emily's face.

Occasionally, a nurse would come in to check on Emily, but otherwise, we were alone.

The hospital room was quiet, except for the beeping of machines and Emily's steady breathing.

Ethan's voice broke the silence.

"It was definitely satisfying," I said, smiling.She squealed. I then showed her pictures of Ethan and I at the charity event in Sydney.She oohed and ahhed over how handsome Ethan looked, and I couldn't help but blush.“You looked so stunning, Ethan is handsome now I see why you couldn’t resist him.”I gasped and she burst out laughing.I laughed, feeling a little self-conscious.

    Ethan’s Point of view: As I sat on the bed, my eyes fixed on my phone trying to decipher the message.Sarah was in the bathroom, I couldn't help but smile at the memories of last night my brain conjured. Last night had been incredible, and I couldn't wait to do it again. Sarah emerged from the bathroom, looking beautiful as always. I watched as she quickly got dressed in the same clothes I had given her the night before. She seemed anxious to get to the hospital and see Emily, and I couldn't blame her. As she finished dressing, she turned to me and asked if I was coming with her to the hospital. I shook my head, feeling a pang of guilt. "I'm sorry, something's come up. Maybe another day?" I said, trying to sound apologetic. Sarah nodded understandingly, but I could sense a hint of disappointment. I felt bad for not being able to accompany her, but I had some important business to attend to. As she turned to leave, I caught her arm and pulled her back. "Hey, I wanted to sa

After the first round, I drifted off but was awoken by Ethan’s head between my thighs, which evolved into another tangle between the sheets. I should have known how much of a powerhouse Ethan was when he brought out the handful of condoms. It was a hint at the marathon we were going to embark on. And marathon it was, with multiple rounds of intense passion.Seeing him sleeping so peacefully gave me the idea of returning the favor, waking him with my mouth on a certain part of his.The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Ethan's sleeping form. His chest rose and fell rhythmically, a stark contrast to the storm of passion we'd weathered the night before. A mischievo

I made my way to the home theater, where I began scrolling through a selection of movies. I wanted to choose something that would be a great way to celebrate my recent success as CEO.As I browsed through the options, one movie caught my eye: The Wolf of Wall Street. It seemed fitting, given my recent achievement. The movie was all about a successful businessman making money and living the high life. I thought it would be a great way to cap off the evening, and I couldn't wait to watch it with Sarah.I had just gotten the popcorn machine started and I decided to head back to my room to check on Sarah and change into something more comfortable. As I entered the bedroom, I caught Sarah in the process of getting dressed. She wa

    Ethan’s Point of View: As I held Sarah's hand in mine, I could feel her trembling with fear. I knew that Alex was going to be a formidable opponent, and that he would stop at nothing to hurt Sarah and destroy our relationship. I felt a surge of anger and protectiveness towards Sarah. I had never felt this way about anyone before, and I knew that I would do anything to keep her safe. I looked into her eyes, and saw the fear and uncertainty there. I knew that I had to reassure her, to make her feel safe and protected. "We'll get through this, Sarah," I said, my voice firm and resolute. "Together, we can face anything that comes our way. I promise you, I will do everything in my power to keep you safe and happy." Sarah's eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a glimmer of hope there.

I croaked, my voice barely above a whisper.His head snapped towards me, his eyes locking onto mine. "Oh, thank goodness you're awake," he exclaimed, relief washing over his face. "I was so worried."I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me to lie back down. Ethan quickly moved to my side, concern etched on his face."Where am I?" I asked, trying to clear the fog from my mind."You're in my office," Ethan replied, his voice soft and soothing. "Are you okay?"I nodded, still trying to process what had happened. "What happened?" I asked, my memory slowly starting to return.Ethan's expression turned serious. "I don't know, we had just come out of the boardroom

    Ethan’s Point of view: As I watched Sarah interact with Nora, I couldn't help but notice the subtle dynamics at play. Sarah was marking her territory, letting Nora know that I was taken. I found it endearing, this possessive streak she was showing. I teased her about it, enjoying the way her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. But deep down, I was pleased. It meant she cared, that she was invested in our relationship and that was all that mattered. Standing up, I could sense Sarah's nervousness. I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, trying to convey my confidence in her. She had nothing to worry about; Everybody would love her. I glanced over at Sarah, taking in her poised demeanor.

But now, we were back in Manhattan, and I had a feeling that something important was waiting for us.Ethan's grandfather,had called us back to the city, requesting our presence at the family mansion. Ethan's mom, grandma, and sisters had stayed behind on the island, enjoying the sun and sand, but Ethan and I had been summoned back to the city.As we made our way to the mansion, I couldn't help but wonder what Ethan's grandfather wanted to talk to us about.
