Back in London, Enrico made it a point to pick me up and take me to the racing team on the first day back to work, further reinforcing the image of the perfect couple we wanted to portray. Although we weren't really in love with each other, we were genuinely good friends, and I enjoyed the company of that inveterate cynic.
"You must be thrilled with all the media attention surrounding the two of us," I commented.
"Of course, I'm happy," he confirmed, as I already knew. "But I'll be even happier when Rachel speaks up about it."
"I don't believe Rachel will contact me because of this," I said.
In fact, I hadn't spoken to Rachel since the night at the nightclub, exactly a week ago, and a photo of a kiss between Enrico and

KaelAfter watching the video of Bianchi kissing Sarah on TV, it seemed like he was everywhere I went. As I always followed motorsport news due to my significant investments in the sector, especially in the category represented by Bianchi, the video playing in front of me ate away at my insides. Knowing that Sarah was no longer part of my life and her telling me not to bother with what she was doing or not doing at the moment only made things worse.**“You look terrible, Kael," Ryan commented as he entered my office."And so, any news about the suspects in the baby theft case?" I asked, seeing him take a seat across from me.Ryan didn't let himself be fooled and contradicted me, saying, "There's no use pretending that everything is fine, Kael. I know perfectly wel

SarahAs I entered the lavishly decorated ballroom, the first person I saw was Kael, and it made me extremely nervous, even though I had expected to find him there. I had tried to prepare myself for this moment, but my emotions were so intense that my body trembled."Just pretend you didn't see him," Enrico whispered. "He doesn't even deserve a second glance.""Who? I don't see anyone, actually."I decided to follow Enrico's advice, as it was time to treat people with the same consideration I received from them. He chuckled at what I said, appreciating my attitude, and together, still holding hands, we made our way toward the center of the party.Soon, we spotted Bruno Garcia, the team's second pilot and a close friend of Enrico. We approached him as he picked up a glass of expensive champagne that was being served."Look who it is, the most popular couple of the moment," Bruno commented, always playful."That's exactly what I want everyone to think," Enrico said, clearly pleased.See

SarahEnrico seemed to have read my thoughts and guided me toward the exit, where several people seemed to be waiting for their respective cars. There were also some journalists, all with cameras ready, eager to get a good shot for sensationalism, I thought with distaste."I need to request my car," Enrico informed me.He looked around, seemingly unsure about leaving me alone for the time it would take to do so. We were a bit farther away, but it didn't take long for Kael and "our" sister to find us."I don't think it's a good time," Enrico said."Do you really have no idea what I'm talking about?" Kael persisted with the same subject as before.I decided to take control of the situation, after all, this matter was of utmost seriousness, and I probably wouldn't be able to sleep, thinking about it. The initial shock was dissipating, leaving behind a whirlwind of doubts. Many doubts."I've said it before, and I'll repeat it. I know nothing about this sister story, other than Rachel, of

KaelI stood there, watching as they examined her and placed her on a stretcher. I heard voices around me, and the questions they asked me, but my mind was completely focused on Sarah. I saw her being taken into the ambulance, and only then did I realize I was trembling uncontrollably.When the paramedic mentioned the possibility of a companion, Bianchi stepped forward, claiming the role of boyfriend."I'm going with her too," my voice was firm, and I kept my gaze fixed on Bianchi, defiant.He raised an eyebrow, clearly annoyed by my insistence."But I'm the boyfriend! She doesn't even want to see you in front of her," Bianchi threw at me."But it will be me she sees as soon as she wakes up!"The tension in the air was palpable, but I knew we needed to stay calm and let the professionals do their job. I felt powerless, watching her being taken away, but I was determined to accompany her, even if it meant facing Bianchi. We stared at each other as adversaries at that moment."Not now,"

SarahWaking up after nine days in a coma was both scary and good. Being completely in the dark for all that time was scary, but it also gave me a new lease on life to do things differently.The first thing I decided was that I wasn't going to be the same silly, fragile person I had been up until the night of the accident that landed me in the hospital. From now on, I was only going to care about myself because nobody had stopped their lives for me. So, it was only fair for me to live for myself."Your friends seem to really like you, Sarah."Maira, my sister who had been a stranger to me until a few days ago, was by my side in the hospital as my companion. I let her continue talking because I realized that if anyone had been as affected as me, or even more, in this who

SarahHillary entered the room alone, and I thanked her for her consideration because I really felt the need to talk to her alone in this first moment."I'll leave you two to talk alone," Enrico realizes my intention with just a brief glance. "I'll be back tomorrow, alright?""Okay," I respond.Enrico winks at me, a sly smile on his face, and leaves the room."I don't understand how people don't see that you two are just good friends," Hillary comments, trying to smile. "To me, it's so obvious that you have a brotherly relationship."She was right. Even the typical sibling teasing existed between Enrico and me. I smile, although I'm sure my smile must have looked more like a forced grin in response."I know it might sound like a silly question, but I'll ask anyway," she says. "How are you?"Hillary settles into the chair next to the bed, which Maira had placed practically next to the furniture and where Enrico had also been until a few minutes ago. Her proximity is comforting."Trying

KaelI listened carefully to Maira's words and felt my heart tighten with sadness. I wanted to be by Sarah's side at that moment, offering the support that, out of pride and being a complete fool, I hadn't given before – the love I felt for her."I don't understand why the doctor doesn't just tell Sarah the truth!" I vented, genuinely outraged. "I don't see any reason to keep her in the dark like this."Maira had just informed me that Sarah had already noticed the lack of movement and sensation in her legs, and now I had many questions, especially after the doctor's visit in the morning."Something else happened today," Maira said, looking somewhat apprehensive."What?""She agreed to see Enrico.""I can't believe she agreed to see him, but can't even stand to hear my name!" I said, irritated."Her relationship with Enrico is very different from what you both had, Kael," Maira tried to calm me down.

Kael Coming home and finding Sarah was truly a special moment, something I deeply missed during the months we were apart. I was foolish and arrogant, and I prefer to forget about that time. However, today the situation wasn't as pleasant due to Bianchi's inconvenient presence, who came from London to visit my wife. It bothered me quite a bit, although I knew I had no right to forbid this meeting. I love Sarah deeply, but I'm not her owner. She is free to receive whoever she desires, and it's not up to me to impose rules. Nonetheless, I can't deny that I didn't feel comfortable leaving her alone with Bianchi, and I wonder what they were talking about downstairs. Where are my mom and Maira when I need them the most? They could be keeping this annoying pilot company instead of wandering around. Initially, I thought about waiting for Sarah in her room, but I wanted to avoid putting any pressure on her. So, albeit reluctantly, I headed to my own room. After a long, hot shower, I wrapped

SarahI feel a profound relief when Kael's hand wraps around mine, as if that simple gesture could push away some of the burden I carry. However, the feeling is bittersweet because I'm hiding a truth that eats away at me from the inside, but it also shows me that we're not as different as I thought."I've made mistakes too, by letting myself be influenced by everything Rachel said."I confess because it's the truth. I look into his eyes, seeking transparency, even though I myself am hiding something important. Kael gazes at me attentively, his eyes filled with emotion, and he makes a proposal that catches me by surprise:"How about we write a new story for us, Sarah?" He asks sincerely, and I can see that his words come from the heart. "I'm just asking for a second chance, to do things differently and prove that I'm telling the truth."My feelings are in turmoil, but Kael's sincere and vulnerable gaze moves me.

KaelThe scheduled time for work appointments went unnoticed because my mind was a tangle of worries. I knew Ryan would have to deal with my absence, but at that moment, I had no capacity to focus on business. I wasn't in a state to think about business, and Ryan would have to handle things without me. After all, the company is also his asset, as he is my brother, and half of the shares belong to our mother.I called Ryan with the intention of explaining my absence and my troubled mind."I already suspected that you wouldn't be able to attend the meeting today," Ryan's voice sounded understanding, as if he were reading my thoughts. "I tried to get in touch with Sarah, now that the diagnosis is confirmed, but she doesn't want to talk to me."The mention of a confirmed diagnosis caught me off guard. Confused, I questioned, "Confirmed diagnosis? What are you talking about?""I managed to briefly talk to Maira on the phone a few minutes ago. She told me about the medical evaluation."The

Without even thinking about what I was about to do, I grabbed the nearest object and threw it against the door.It was my cell phone, and I ended up damaging it, which only increased my agitation. I had never thrown objects around before, let alone with the intent of releasing my frustration."What happened?" Maira asked, entering the room.I glanced at the floor where the phone lay, still intact but probably no longer functioning. She followed my gaze and realized what I had done, picking up the device from the floor. As expected, the screen was cracked in several places."I im

KaelEntering that hospital room and finding Sarah lying in the bed, aware of the real possibility that she might never walk again, made me feel like the worst human being in the world. Deep down, I knew my responsibility in all of this was significant, and the weight of guilt hit me like an avalanche.I decided at that moment that, regardless of what she might say now, I would do everything in my power to help her. Even if she no longer wanted me around, I was determined to continue taking care of her, even from a distance."Leave us alone, Maira," Sarah's voice didn't sound like a request, but rather like a firm order. Just from that short sentence, I could sense how the accident had transformed her personality, and not in a positive way."You can call me if you need anything," Maira says before leaving the room. Although her words were directed at Sarah, I knew it was a message for me."What do you hope to achieve by approaching me? Do you think you'll gain sympathy from everyone b
Auctioned for the Billionaire Ignoring the Truth
SarahAlthough no one had the courage, or perhaps it's more appropriate to say "integrity," to inform me about the significant probability of facing paraplegia, this concern had been lingering in my thoughts. Even though I tried to ignore it, I knew it wasn't normal to feel nothing and be unable to move my legs when the rest of my body was functioning fine. However, accepting this reality and confronting the inevitable conclusion was no simple task. Apparently, I had also chosen to deceive myself, preferring to believe in the inappropriate actions of those around me. But after the conversation with Lorenzo, I could no longer delay accepting the truth.I needed to accept that this was happening and learn to deal with all the difficulties that people in the same situation of paraplegia face, something I likely developed due to the accident."It's still not definitive, Sarah," Maira repeated her motivational speech.

While I want her back and he's my rival in the competition for her heart, it's crucial that everything is transparent. Honesty is now paramount.No more hiding secrets or telling lies. It was precisely this lack of clarity that led to all this confusion and the situation Sarah finds herself in, lying in a hospital bed with a real possibility of not walking again."Did you manage to talk to Rachel?" Maira asks when we're back in the waiting room."I was informed that she's still in Monaco. But she's not answering our calls, and honestly? Sarah is better off without her toxic presence," I clarify. "Has she been asking for her sister?""Not really. Sarah hasn't been asking for anyone, really.
