Sarah was right, of course. But I felt exhausted from the moments we had just experienced, where I managed to hold back every time I felt I was about to climax. All of this was to fully satisfy the woman in front of me, and for that reason, I chose to postpone our much-needed shower for a few minutes.
"I just need a few minutes," I explained, lying down beside her and pulling her into my arms.
"I'm sweaty!" She complained.
"So am I," I pointed out. "The air conditioning will do its job soon."
She just smiled at my solution to her problem and nestled against my chest, giving in to my request.
We stayed like that for some time, and I only realized I had fallen asleep when I op
SarahKael's proposed truce was fulfilled, and he turned out to be surprisingly different from what I had imagined, much easier to deal with than the man I first met in his apartment. Although we hadn't had the conversation I expected, I ended up agreeing to the agreement he proposed.Kael believed he could get whatever he wanted, regardless of the means. However, I didn't want to simply accept everything he wanted to do with me. Faced with the idea of "enjoying" Kael's money, I decided to spend it on frivolous things that didn't really interest me, just to pass the time, even though I wasn't a materialistic person like Rachel, for example.I went shopping and visited the beauty salon, taking care of my appearance as if I were the shallow woman he expected me to be. However, this was just a way to make time go by faster, not to
KaelAs I walked through the hallways of the main Anglo-X building, my mind was filled with reflections on the recent events that had changed my life since that night when I had planned to get revenge on Rachel but ended up getting involved with Sarah.Initially, my intention was to push Sarah away from me, as she had become a significant part of my life since we lost her virginity on my yacht. However, something unexpected happened: with each night by her side, I felt a connection growing stronger, something I neither expected nor planned for.I knew I couldn't prolong our involvement beyond what had been established to forget her. My mother's health was gradually improving, and I wondered how she would react if I fell in love with Sarah and wanted to keep her in our lives for a longer time.Seeing Patrick's daughter become a constant presence in our home, interacting with us daily, would be unbearable for my mother. So, I made the decision to avoid spending as much time with Sarah a
SarahI had scheduled a manicure on Friday morning, and as soon as I arrived at the salon where I had been a client for many years, I looked for the young woman who used to attend to me and with whom I always chatted. Madison was my age, had been working as a manicurist at that salon since she turned eighteen, and we got along very well.When I noticed she was still attending to another client, I decided to wait because I didn't like anyone else to do my nails besides Madison."I've told you before, Madison, I only like to have you do my manicures," I said to her when she started working on me.I noticed she smiled at the subtle compliment, even though she never took her eyes off her work."I'm glad to have such a loyal customer for my services, like you," she replied, still focused on her task. "And it's good that you came in this morning because I'll be off in the afternoon.""Any special reason?" I asked, curious.My life felt monotonous and devoid of excitement, to the point that
KaelI could try to deceive myself by saying that the information that Sarah had gone out with friends made me a bit uneasy and disoriented, but the truth was that I was completely consumed by jealousy. Knowing that she was having fun with people her age, less complicated than me, sparked an insecurity that I preferred not to admit.The idea of calling Sarah and ordering her to come back immediately crossed my mind, but I knew it wasn't the right course of action. I considered myself a rational and cold-hearted businessman, and acting impulsively wasn't in my style.However, just sitting around waiting wasn't a viable option for me. The dilemma of deciding what action to take consumed me, and I knew I couldn't simply ignore the situation. Jealousy and anger were bubbling inside me, fighting to come out.To try to calm myself, I ended up sitting on the couch in the living room. I looked at my wristwatch and realized it was still early for parties and hanging out with friends. I wondere
SarahFeeling my phone vibrate in the small party clutch, I quickly checked the sender before deciding whether to answer or not. I had just talked to Ryan a few minutes ago and assumed it wasn't him. My assumption was correct. Surprisingly, the caller was Kael, someone who hadn't tried to reach out to me in the past few days. I decided to ignore his call and added his number to the block list. However, I forgot to block messages, which soon started coming in.Kael: Where are you?Kael: Why did you block me?Kael: I know you did it!I found myself in a dilemma. Should I respond to Kael's incessant messages, which kept coming with the same questions? Blocking him for messages wasn't a viable option either, as I was still within the period where I had to report to him, with only two days left before the thirty-day deadline expired.Looking at the lively club where Madison chose to celebrate her twenty-second birthday, I noticed the diverse crowd and the deafening noise, pushing my tolera
SarahWe found a quieter corner, and I smiled as I greeted him, "Someone's in a lively mood tonight." It was the first thing he said."What are you doing here?""I wanted to go out and have fun, and when you told me you were here, I came," he explained, convincing me."Well, let me introduce you to the rest of the gang."I grabbed his arm again, but before anything could happen, Madison was already by my side, looking quite concerned."Do you know this guy, Sarah?" she asked, quite protective.Ryan and I exchanged smiles, understanding that Madison was worried about the way I had left the dance floor."It seems you've got a friend now," Ryan remarked, putting his hands in the pockets of the jeans he was wearing."This is Ryan, my friend. No need to worry," I introduced. "And this is Madison, the birthday girl."The two were very courteous to each other, and Ryan kindly invited everyone to the VIP area of the club, leaving me completely shocked when he revealed that his boss was one of
KaelSeeing Sarah enter the apartment, doing a strange dance and celebrating something, I was certain she was drunk. I deduced that the party had been lively and commented on it aloud, which seemed to startle her greatly."Oh!" Sarah exclaimed, looking at me as if I were some sort of apparition."Why didn't you answer my calls or messages?" I asked without beating around the bush."What are you doing here?" she asked, appearing confused."It's my apartment. I have every right to be here," I replied curtly. "And you should be here too.""How was I supposed to know you were waiting for me?""If you had answered my calls instead of blocking me, you would have known," I let my irritation show with just that sentence.Sarah's stance quickly changed, and it was as if all the alcohol she had probably consumed had left her bloodstream. She stood upright and soon pointed her finger at me."You spend days ignoring me, and when you decide you want to see me, without even bothering to let me know
SarahAfter Kael left the bathroom, having placed me under the shower, my mind quickly began to devise a thousand ways to retaliate for what he'd done. When I returned to the room and found him sitting on the king-size bed, all the anger I had been feeling seemed to evaporate instantly. I could only think about how handsome and masculine he was, trying to understand how I could find him so attractive after everything that had already happened between us.I believe what was even worse was that even when he was clearly upset with me, like now, Kael still managed to affect me that way, provoking thoughts so full of primal desire.I stared at him, briefly analyzing his angry expression, but all I could think about was him being fully inside me, driving me wild with his powerful thrusts and his rough grip, which brought
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
SarahThe trip to Seattle is exhausting, despite the comfort of Kael's private jet. However, upon arriving at the mansion, everything becomes more comfortable and easier. Kael has hired a team of professionals to closely monitor my recovery process.Ryan and I had a long conversation. Despite the difficulties after everything that happened, he is still my brother, and we have a lot in common. With Maira, the connection was immediate, and I became fond of her, as well as of our other brother, even before knowing about our blood ties.Mary is a lovely person, and her presence has been crucial in my adjustment. Sharing the same roof with her strengthens our bond, and her help is valuable in all aspects of my daily life.Rachel, on the other hand, remained absent, not giving news or showing interest in visiting me. I feel like everyone avoids mentioning her name, including Maira, who is known for her kindness and gentleness.Hillary is always calling me, and we talk about various topics.
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. I look at this strong and determined man, who holds my hand so gently, as
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
SarahAfter Kael made his promise to prove his love for me through actions, even though I found it ridiculous, my feelings were in complete turmoil. 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
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. "The final diagnosis hasn't been given yet, and the doctor said we'll on
KaelDespite Enrico making it clear that he doesn't agree with my past choices, I don't regret sharing this story with him. What matters right now is Sarah's well-being. 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. She's been very introspective and bitter since she woke up, and that's not a good sign, considering everything that's coming," Mai
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. "From what I understand, considering both of their reports, you made a serious mistake
