Sarah’s Point of view

As I slowly opened my eyes, I was met with the sterile smell of a hospital room. I tried to remember how I got there, but my memories were fuzzy. I recalled running down the street, then...nothing.

Panic set in as I scrambled to piece together what happened. A gentle voice spoke beside me, "Hey, you're awake. I'm so glad to see you're okay."

I turned to see a blond guy with hazel eyes and a concerned expression. He introduced himself as Ethan, and I had no idea who he was or why he was sitting beside my bed.

The doctor came in to check on me, and Ethan stepped back, his eyes never leaving mine. I felt a strange sense of calm with him nearby, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was missing.

As the doctor left, Ethan returned to my bedside, his expression hesitant. "Can I stay?" he asked. "I want to make sure you're okay."

I nodded, still trying to process everything. Ethan's presence was comforting, but I couldn't understand why he

    Sarah’s Point of view:Nurse Sabrina's warm smile greeted me as she entered my hospital room. "Sarah, How are you doing today? You have a visitor. Your friend Emily is here to see you."I nodded, trying to compose myself, but the emotions still simmered just below the surface. Emily followed the nurse in, concern etched on her face."Hey, girl," Emily said softly, rushing to my side. "I was so worried about you."Nurse Sabrina nodded sympathetically.

I couldn't help but wonder how she was feeling now, if she was recovering well from her injuries. I made a mental note to get her a get-well-soon card, an "I'm sorry" card, and some flowers. I wasn't really sure why I was so invested in her well-being, but I couldn't shake off the feeling."Mr. Ethan, your car is ready," Ben, my driver, called out to me.I nodded, grabbing my phones and heading out the door.

    Sarah's Point of view:I couldn't believe I was finally going home! The hospital room had started to feel like a prison, and I was eager to get back to my normal life. Emily, my best friend, was by my side as Nurse Sabrina came in to give me my discharge instructions.Nurse Sabrina was the best nurse anyone could ask for, but I would not mind not seeing her every single day."Okay, Sarah, here's an advice sheet on exercises you should do every day to help speed up your recovery and a list of things to do and not do," she said, handing me two sheets of paper.I scanned the list, trying to take it all in. "No heavy lifting, no bending, no strenuous activity...got it.""And don't forget to take your meds as prescribed," Nurse Sabrina added."You'll need to wear your plaster cast until the broken bone heals. The skin under the cast may be itchy for a few days, but that should pass."Emily nodded, taking the list from me. "I'll make sure she follows the rules, Nurse."I rolled my eyes g

    Sarah's Point of view:Days turned into weeks, and I settled into a comfortable routine at Emily's place. We spent our days lounging on the couch, watching movies, and talking about everything and nothing. I was slowly starting to feel like myself again, like the weight of Alex's betrayal was slowly lifting off my shoulders.My plaster cast came off a week ago. It felt weird to finally have that thing off. My wrist was so stiff and weak. It was like learning to use my hand all over again. I kept forgetting it was there and bumped it into stuff.I remember how helpless I felt with that cast on. I couldn't do anything for myself. I had to rely on Emily for everything. It was super frustrating. But honestly, it also made me appreciate the little things I used to take for granted – like opening a door or tying my shoes.The exercises on the advice sheet that I had to do were a pain, but I guess they helped. The painkillers helped a lot, but I had to be careful not to get hooked on them. My

"I don't want to continue the marriage, and I think it's time to make it official."Rachel nodded sympathetically, her eyes never leaving mine. "I'm so sorry, Sarah.

"Something smells amazing in here!"Emily poked her head out of the kitchen, a flour-dusted apron wrapped around her waist. "Hey, girl! I'm making your favorite. How was your day?"I slid onto a stool at the counter, taking a deep breath as I tried to process everything that had happened. "It was...interesting," I said finally. "I had my lawyer appointment this morning, and then I ran into Ethan at the café."Emily's eyes widened. "Ethan? As in, the guy from the accident?”I nodded, feeling a flutter in my chest.

"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.

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 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.

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.
