Marriage Again

2025-03-27 01:49:21Sabrina's POV
"You can get back with your ex—why can't I get back with mine?" I wondered what I was thinking when I said that. I just wanted Haynes to feel hurt too, even if it was just once but as I stared into his eyes, seeing right through his soul, he didn't regret his actions. He hadn't even flinch when I kissed another man. He never cared about me and all he wanted was to get rid of me.
That hurts me but I could only walk away to hide my pain.
Luca McCorkindale! Of all people, why did he have to be here? Why did he have to kiss me? Everything felt like it was working against me. To think that he'd reappear in my life...only to cause more distrust in a marriage that had just broken up. He's my past and although something in me wanted to keep him, another doesn't want him back in my life.
"Let me drive you" His voice came again, low, musky and soothing but I wasn't going to fall for it, not again. His hands gestured towards a red Lamborghini at the side but I didn't care about it.
"Stay clear from me Luca! I don't want you in my life!" I snapped, and although I realized immediately after saying it that it might sound harsh, I didn't regret it because I meant those words. Just because my husband is getting back with his ex doesn't mean I should also get back with mine.
He was stunned and I only turned, walking away. Hoping that would be the last time I would see him. My heart burned, but I held my chin upright. These little things shouldn't be the ones to break me, I had to stay strong.
I reached my car but just as I opened the door, Haynes stepped in front of me shoving me back. I almost fell and it took everything in me to hold my stand.
"My car keys," He demanded. "Nothing belongs to you in my house" Haynes said.
I exhaled slowly, clutching more tightly onto the keys before I handed them over.
"I hope this will be the last time I will see you Sabrina Ventimiglia. I'm off to pick Camilla up at the airport, she's back to take the place that had always belonged to her" Haynes said, his eyes devoid of emotions. He readjusted his tie and zoomed out of sight.
Again, his words hit harder than I would have expected.
Back to take her place?? He said it as though I was a stand-in for his ex who is coming back. Not that we both wanted the marriage, but I tried my best to make it work only to be left shattered.
"So what do you say now??" His voice made me turn in terror as I moved away from him.
He won't bite! He can't hurt you!
I tried to reassure myself but I just couldn't stop creating that distance between us—a line I didn't want him to cross.
"Still not going to let me drive you??" He asked, his gaze locking with mine. Those dark ocean eyes, they had always been unreadable but now there was something different about them—they now holds something stronger. Power! Determination! Authority!
Surely, I had no intention of getting in that car and from the way his eyes flickered, I'm sure he knew it too. I'd drawn that line between us already and I don't want to be the one to break it.
"What do you want Luca? Can't you just stay away from me??" I said, the weight of the day crashing on me. In all the twenty six years of my life, I'm sure today is the day—the day I've been the most miserable and here he was, making it more unbearable.
"You need my help, don't you?" Luca said, closing in on the gap between us.
I moved back. "I never came to you for help, so leave"
"We have a score to settle, don't we??" His gaze darkened. How nice would it be seeing your name truly go down the mud. It'd be exhilarating, Rina" He chuckled and my hands curled into fists. They are just the same, ridiculing and making me miserable. What made me think Luca McCorkindale would be different.
"To hell with your help, Luca!" I spat, flipping him off. I tried walking away but he pulled me back.
"Would you come to me for help only when he creates another scandal??" Luca scoffed and I gulped, blinking my eyes. Haynes had truly got another thing on me, although Luca is included, he can easily buy his way out of it, he's the CEO of Luca Airline & Transportation afterall. I needed someone to help me out and here he was, offering me help but I was confused because I clearly won't accept it.
I jerked his hand away, staring into his eyes like a kid who needed sympathy.
"Why do you want to help me? We were done two years ago" I said, reminding him once again that I'm nothing but his ex.
Luca sighed. "Do you want my help? Just a yes or no would do"
I had thought about it for a while and I was able to come to a conclusion. Right now, I was like a beggar who had no choices—A beggar who can't be a chooser.
"Help me Luca. Help me out" I whispered.
He smirked. "What else do you want?? Don't you want to revenge??"
I didn't need to think about it. I knew the answer.
I surely want revenge on Haynes. I already told him—THIS ISN'T OVER.
"Can you get that for me too??" My voice trembled.
"I can Rina. We both can" Luca said, his words soothing and the way my name rolled out of his mouth getting into my head.
Now isn't the time for these thoughts, Sabrina!!
"In return—"
I knew it would come with a price. My heart hammered in my chest as anticipation clawed at me.
"In return, I want marriage" His voice steady and unwavering. "Marry me Sabrina, let me claim you—away from him" Luca said.
Marriage. Again. A word I was starting to dread.
Trusting Luca felt like the only choice I had.
I could trust Luca, better than I would ever trust Haynes
"Deal" The word slipped smoothly past my lips that I began to doubt my acceptance.
Won't I regret this?
But at the moment, everything in me just wanted to trust Luca.

BACK WITH MY EX: He Promised To Be Better Brought To His Home
Luca's POVI hadn't expected her to accept that quickly but then again, I haven't given a choice to think about it. She accepted—and that's all that matters. I stood there like a fool at a loss for words. I had proposed the marriage but standing there made it looks like I had no plans on what to do after she accepted the offer—or maybe because I had thought Sabrina was more tougher and stubborn than someone who would accept my request on my first day of trying. "It's cool then, we will start making arrangements for everything" I said, sighing in relief. I'm just a step closer to having Sabrina Ventimiglia as mine again. I missed her, everything about her and I was mad at her and myself for losing her. She left me, dumped me but that had only kept me going, the only thing that made me come back as the successful CEO of multiple organizations. "Let me drive you" I suggested and walked to my car, opening the door to the passengers seat for her. A gentlemanly gesture I'd never show

Haynes POVLuca McCorkindale—He happened to be her ex and I couldn't shake that off since the time I left the company to the airport. He's wealthy, powerful and a very significant figure in the whole city. That bothers me. I heaved a sigh as I stare at my phone, something in me expecting Sabrina to call, to beg again but no call came. Luca McCorkindale couldn't have come to her rescue, could he?"Haynes!!" The loud cheerful voice was what brought me back to the world. I looked up to see Camilla waving at me, her smile radiating through the whole place. I smiled back as I spread my arms for her to run into and she did. I loved her, and I had to let her go all in the name of business two years ago. Two years ago, Richard Ventimiglia and I needed each other. He needed a huge sum of money and unwavering support of the media to keep his business going as he had almost gone bankrupt. I helped him with that and in return got Sabrina. I had to take her as I knew what I was after then. Ha

Sabrina's POVI must be going crazy to tell Luca to get married to me this week. It would look like I was pushing things ahead of how they were supposed to be. "Uhm. We will talk about this later, thanks for the meal" I said to Luca and rushed out of the dining area back to the room they had given to me. I sat on the bed and stares at the message Haynes has sent me earlier. "I have Camilla sleeping peacefully by my side right now Sabrina. I plan on living a happy life with her away from you, so don't cause me trouble" He texted me to let me know his ex is back, now by his side. In his bed. I shouldn't care but I couldn't stop thinking about it. He divorced me for Camilla and now dates to threaten me. After I clear my name, I will make sure Haynes suffer. Happy life? He doesn't deserve anything like that. He cheated on me, divorced me and even had to bring his ex back to take my place. I put a call across to Didi, my personal assistant. The moment she picked up, I asked, "How's
Last Updated : 2025-04-12BACK WITH MY EX: He Promised To Be Better Protecting Her
Luca's POVAll I did was watch as the reporters swarm all over Sabrina. Her gaze transfixed at a spot and her whole body in shock. I glanced at the car that drove past me and with a quick gaze with Blake—My assistant who drove me here, he understood what I meant. To get everything he could on the lady in the car. The one who had just brought panic to Sabrina. I didn't want to jeopardize the media the more by stepping out there to pick Sabrina. I clenched my fist hoping she'd steady herself. She was never this weak when she was with me. I didn't know what that black haired bitch might have said to her, but I felt like she could overcome it. Blake noticed my tenseness and turned to face me. "Should I go get her, boss?" I waved him off with a flick of my wrist dismissing his thought. If anyone was to go out there, it should be me. I had her followed the moment she left the mansion in the black sedan. I didn't want to trust anything, not even bodyguards. I knew the public were still

Sabrina's POVI didn't know what to do. All I wanted was for him to stay with me, I was scared at the moment. Scared of everything, but Luca stood out and I felt I could trust him. He leaned back to the bed, hugging me and I hugged back tightly. His huge body frame that wrapped me in it's embrace feeling like the only thing I needed at the moment. I cried in his chest while he caressed my back. I needed to talk to someone but still, I couldn't bring myself to talk to Luca about it. "It's okay, Sabrina. You are fine" He said, patting my hair gently. Slowly, my cries slowed down and I only sniffled. I could hear his heartbeat and truly—I didn't want to get out of the embrace. I haven't felt like this in two years—It's the first time in two years I would be sitting this close to Luca, hugging his chest. I knew we were over, but I couldn't help this situation. Slowly, I drifted to sleep and all I could feel was the soft tender hands that caressed me. That was all it took until I fe

Sabrina's POVMy heels tapped against the ground as I moved with my back straight and my chin slightly lifted up— a way of walking indicating ease and confidence. Everything was in a rhythm along with the way my dress swayed. I could feel eyes on me, whispers everywhere about my elegance but I didn't mind—I never did. That's the fake life I had built for myself, being the daughter of the influential Ventimiglias and the daughter-in-law of the Chadwicks; that was the only way I could make myself happy, the perfect facade away from the misery that had always been my shadow. Those people took pictures and I knew what they were after; the bag in my hand, it was the limited one that had arrived in my store earlier. Anything I touched turned into a trend in just minutes and the marketing world has me to thank for that. Getting my mission done; as that was to show the bag off. I hopped into the car and urged the driver to start driving. It was a half-hour drive back to the mansion. The m

Sabrina's POVThe dimly lit room felt colder than the usual, the glow from the window casting shadows over his face as he turned. Haynes turned, then realized I was there and quickly ended the call. I scoffed as I walked up to him demanding an explanation. "The hell were you talking about on the phone, Haynes?" I asked, trepidation washing over me as my hands began getting sweaty. Those words had trouble settling in. He had plans to ruin me then divorce me, that was his plan all along. That was the only thing he could offer me in this two years of marriage while all I did was put up with his attitude and nonchalant behaviours. He must have taken me for a fool—no! I really am a bloody fool for not seeing this coming. "For how long have you been standing there?" That came his reply to my question. Answering a question with a question or rather, he was avoiding my question. "Does it matter? Just answer the question Haynes. Tell me I heard wrong" I said, and I hated the way I sounded.

I had gone to the house in search of Haynes but he wasn't there, therefore I wasted no time in coming to the place where I would surely find him—His office. I have to beg him and I surely would. I had stood frozen for minutes and then made up my mind to make the bold move of entering the company. My feet moved and my body followed, with that, I made my way to Haynes Chadwick's office. My heart hammered in my chest with each passing floor in the elevator as I waited for the elevator doors to open. I wondered if he would still help me out. I'm still his wife, we haven't got divorced yet. He wouldn't just cut me off completely right? My thoughts spiralled as fear gripped me because I was unsure of what would happen in that office. But one thing felt certain above the others, I was surely going to get kicked out. I stoppe

Luca's POVIt had been two months since I had been back into this city that screamed familiarity. Everyone had only heard of Luca Airline & Transportation but they've never met its CEO—the successful CEO which is me. The first thing I had looked for when I came back was Sabrina and I found out she was still married to that scumbag. Not that I didn't want her to be in a happy-ever-after marriage, but she was mine to begin with. He had taken her from me then and now I'm back, all prepared to take back what's mine. As if fate were on my side, I found out she wasn't happy—Not in that marriage. Not in that prison. Haynes Chadwick! That asshole! He treated her like a worthless person, like someone who deserved no respect, but for once—I'd thank him because he'd give me the perfect opening to take her back. It had been just few hours after the latest Ventimiglia family scandal which had thrown the media into chaos and confusion. I had someone watch Sabrina as I knew she'd be vulnerable,
