I confessed my feelings to Sarah, professed my love, and promised that once I sorted out some pending matters, I could offer her what she desired. However, even with all those words, it wasn't enough to convince her to accompany me back to Seattle.
It's confusing how someone can claim to love me but not want to be by my side. Reluctantly, I complied with her wishes and let her go to focus on her precious work, which seemed to be above everything, even our mutual feelings.
This situation weighed heavily on my mind and disrupted my concentration throughout the day. I inwardly thanked having the assistance of Ryan, an efficient and detail-oriented assistant, who made the negotiation with the Italian racing team less complicated.

SarahI looked at the two men standing in the hallway without understanding how I got myself into such an embarrassing situation. And I had no idea what to do to navigate it. Still, I noticed that Hillary seemed as lost as I did. To think that my only plan for that night was to sleep and wake up the next morning!I had come home feeling extremely tired after an exhausting day at work, both physically and mentally. The lack of sleep the previous night and the fact that I had woken up very early contributed to my exhaustion. Moreover, I couldn't get Kael out of my mind all day.When the doorbell rang for the first time that evening, I chose to ignore it because I wasn't expecting any visitors. I let Hillary answer. However, not long after, she was in my room, looking at me expectantly."What should I say to Lorenzo? He insists on talking to you, Sarah," she asked me again.I sighed, feeling resigned. At that moment, I wasn't emotionally prepared to talk to Lorenzo, but I knew his visit

KaelI was already opening the car door when I heard my name being called and turned towards the voice, which I recognized as Sarah's. I closed the door again, seeking a modicum of privacy, and waited for her to come to where I was.Given the situation, where emotions were running high within me and the tension between us, following the situation involving the Formula One driver - or maybe I should say the two drivers - I considered Ryan's interruption very welcome. I wasn't sure if I could control my temper at this moment."We were just coming out of a meeting when my boss decided he needed to make an important visit," Ryan explained, taking the opportunity to tease me."So you can go on your way, and your boss will stay here," Sarah said decisively. "We have a lot to talk about!"I looked at her in surprise at her attitude, but it was Ryan who commented on it."I like girls who are so determined!" he congratulated her.Sarah smiled upon hearing what he said and hooked her hand onto

RyanWhen I left Kael talking to Sarah in front of her house, I imagined they would finally make amends, and that made me really happy. Despite not agreeing with my brother's actions, now that he seemed to have come to his senses and understood that he loved Sarah, I was quite optimistic that things were getting back on track. But now we were returning to Seattle, and Sarah wasn't with us, and that, in itself, said a lot."Damn!" Kael suddenly exclaimed.We had just disembarked from the plane and were waiting for our luggage. Kael was focused on his phone, apparently reading some messages. His expression showed great irritation, and his stress level seemed to have reached an alarming point, something visible with a simple glance."What happened?" I asked, holding Madiso

SarahKael returned to Seattle while I stayed in London, confident that I had made the right decision, even though I felt intense pain being away from him after two wonderful nights together. When I expressed my decision not to go back with him, Kael asked if it was final, and I confirmed that it was. I expected him to leave at that moment or to become angry, but his reaction was completely unexpected."I will prove to you that I love you, and it won't be just with words, believe me," he said. When I realized that Kael wasn't giving up on us and that we could make it work if we both wanted to, I felt a relief in my chest. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately, and he responded with the same intensity.After a night of hot and affectionate love, we parted ways in the morning. I noticed that K

KaelArriving in Seattle and finding out that my mother had simply boarded a plane and traveled to another state without notifying me was extremely shocking. Anger was the first feeling that surfaced, followed by concern, which persisted throughout the day despite the exhaustion from a night when sleep wasn't my top priority, and the nearly ten hours spent on the plane.I could never rest until I knew exactly where my mother was and, more importantly, what had led her to Texas. I left an investigator and some security personnel at the airport, ready to monitor Mary's arrival, while I tried to contact her incessantly throughout the time I was without news.It was already past 6:00 PM when I finally learned that she had requested my jet to pick her up, which meant she had viewed all the messages and chose not to respond on purpose. Ryan even suggested that perhaps she was under some pressure or in a worse situation, which would explain the lack of response, but the information about the

KaelI felt utterly stunned as it had never crossed my mind that my mother could have another child besides me, let alone a younger daughter."I am very tired, my son," her appearance truly mirrored the truth of her words. "But I can't leave you in the dark about some facts from my past.""Thank you, Mom," I clapped, applauding her gesture in a cynical tone. "I can see that, finally, you've decided that I deserve some consideration."I was upset, disappointed, and saddened by the unexpected news. I tried to control my emotions, but it was challenging, as I had been deceived for so many years."Please, listen to the story I have to tell, and then draw your own conclusions, Kael," my mother spoke with an acidic tone.Her change in attitude contrasted with the sensitive and vulnerable woman she had become in the past year, making me question her motivation. Was she escaping from reality, feeling guilty about something she did in the past? My mind was filled with assumptions."I'm all ear
Auctioned for the Billionaire Lost Son
RyanWhen Mary shared her story, several questions flooded my mind. Among them, what led her to seek out Maira, my twin sister, of whom I had no knowledge until that moment? Another question was how Maira and I were separated not only from our parents but also from each other.These questions joined others, and I hesitated to reveal to everyone that I was the other lost twin, although I was sure there would be no more suitable moment to do so. However, before making any decision, I needed to hear the rest of that crazy story, draw conclusions, and assess whether I should tell the truth to everyone, at least the part of the story I already knew, or if it was better to remain incognito, distance myself from them, and seek to live without this bond between us."How did you find out that your twins were alive after all this time?" I asked the question that was screaming for an answer inside my head."Rachel told me," Mary said once again, causing a commotion among us."I knew Rachel had s

SarahAfter talking to Kael, I went to work with a peaceful heart, confident that we were on the same page, working to adjust our lives so that the relationship would work comfortably for both of us without either of us losing out. The fact that Kael wanted a relationship was very positive, and I believed we had everything to make it work now.However, two days later, my confidence began to waver as I had no contact with Kael during this period. I understood that his life as the CEO of a major company was hectic, and he sometimes came home late. But I couldn't justify the fact that he hadn't taken a few minutes to talk to me, even by message, in over forty-eight hours.Today, the team was going to travel to the next stage of the Formula One world circuit in Spielberg, Austria. I was selected to support the team boss during the trip. My destination was a hotel in Spielberg where everyone from the team was staying.Hillary had also been in Spielberg since the day before but in another h

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

Auctioned for the Billionaire Second Chance
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. "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.
