Sara POV "Aaron, I'm afraid that's not right. Do not do this, please." When he released my lips, I pleaded with him once more."What's wrong with it? Don't you remember that we have a contract?" He sucked my neck and exhaled deeply on it.I tried to stop him, but he didn't listen. He is so consumed by his lust that he has forgotten all about Jerry. How could he deceive her? I am deeply fond of Aaron and harbor numerous romantic sentiments toward him; however, I am remorseful for romanticizing him today, as I can not betray Jerry. He is Jerry's property, so he must be with her now. Even if I don't yet know the whole story, I still feel sorry for her. My heart yearns for Aron's love, but it does not belong to me, so I have to control my feelings.He tried to slide his hand toward my lower abdomen, and I tried to push him away."What's wrong with you, Sara?" He looked at me in confusion."Aaron, this is wrong. Please get back to Jerry.""Sara, I want you, not Jerry, so stop irritating m
Aron POV "The client is waiting for you, Mr. Finge." When I got to my office, Selena was already there."How long have they been waiting for me?" I asked, feeling a pang of guilt."They had been waiting for you for the past hour." She glanced at her wristwatch before glaring at me with displeasure.How could I be so careless? I entered the meeting room right away. "I apologize, Mr. Clinton." I lowered my head in apology for keeping them waiting for an hour."We did not anticipate you acting in such an unprofessional manner, Mr. Finge. When we finally got to meet with you after three weeks, you made us wait an hour." He gave me an enraged look.It's entirely my fault. A personal imbalance has also disrupted my professional life. "I am genuinely sorry, Mr. Clinton. I was preoccupied with some urgent work." Perched in my chair, I motioned for him to start the meeting."If we don't collaborate from the start, Mr. Finge, I will locate another provider for my business." He crossed his le
Sara POV I don't understand what's wrong with Jerry. Why is she still sleeping? She still hasn't woken up, and it is already midday. I was eager to learn about her past, which led her to become a sex addict, but I didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep. I was unable to concentrate on my going-on stories because I was so eager to write a new one about a sex addict. My mind is occupied with a new story plot and characters. I paced the hallway to relieve stress. Why won't she wake up? I peeked into her room, hoping that she would wake up. When she still hadn't woken up, I made myself sit on the couch and turn on my laptop to continue writing my stories. I need to set up some financial arrangements for Neil, but I'm still not sure how I'll manage it. My face feels hot as I think about Aaron. Yet as soon as I thought about Jerry, my heart began to ache. "Good morning, Sara." Jerry yawned and stepped into the hall. She still seems tired. I checked the time on my phone. It was alrea
Aron POV It's enough; she is crossing her limit now. Why is she ignoring me? When I realized Sara was hanging out with Jerry, I lost all concentration on my work. To separate them, I have to get there. Why did Jerry come into my life? I detest her. Now that she's here, my life is toxic."Please call off all of my meetings, Selena. Now I have to head home." I dialed my assistant's number and informed her about my angry mood. I have to bring Sara to this office soon. I won't be able to concentrate on my work until then. I became more and more envious of their relationship. I don't understand why Jerry fell in love with Sara, especially when there are so many women in our world who are interested in pursuing female relationships. I didn't realize I couldn't share Sara with anyone until Jerry grew closer to her. She belongs only to me. If she ever tried to glance at another man or woman, I would kill them. Anger, I clenched my fist and grabbed my car keys and coat from my chair.Today,
Sara POV "Please open the door, madam." As soon as he freed me from his grip, I ran towards Jerry's room. I never imagined that Aron would tell Jerry the truth so brutally. He could discuss it with me before revealing the truth to her. I am uncertain as to the nature of the love he is exhibiting toward her when he disregards her emotions. Although lust is the primary motivator of their relationship, this does not exclude them from feeling an emotional connection. I felt jealous of Jerry because she had Aron, but today, I thanked God that I didn't have a partner like Aron, who didn't care about my emotions. I've always been astonished by Aron's erratic behavior, but tonight, he went above and beyond. After so many years, I rarely had a genuine friend, but Aaron's childish behavior caused me to lose one. I am sure she will not be willing to work with me anymore; after all, I broke her trust. I know how it feels when someone betrays our confidence, but I didn't intentionally harm he
Aron POV "Why did you lie to me, Aron?" Jerry turned to question me when Sara left the corridor. What do I tell her now? I have no idea how I told her the truth. Given how everything is interconnected, sharing my one true confession with her necessitates disclosing Sara's and my concealed secrets. No, I can't tell her about my contracted marriage to Sara. Until Sara accepts my love proposal, I will not reveal this truth to anyone. What happens, though, if Sara chooses Jerry's friendship over my offer? No way; she will never choose Jerry over me. Even though she hasn't publicly expressed her love for me, I am confident that she will accept my love proposal when I make it. "I am asking you something; answer me." Jerry’s eyes turned red in anger. I'm unsure where I found the courage to confront her today, but earlier, I was terrified to look into her irate eyes. "Jerry, I don't want to lie to you, but even though you mistook her for my housemaid during a phone call, you called her
Sara POV "Thank you, Sara, for accepting my offer. I'm relieved you didn't reject me for working with you based on my previous behavior." Jerry sent me a contract and once again expressed appreciation for my accepting her offer. After Aaron revealed the truth to her, my life took a dramatic turn for the better. Because of my novels, I never thought Jerry was searching for me so madly. I gave this proposition a lot of thought before accepting it. I have to keep my distance from Aaron now that I have decided to be friends with Jerry. I'm not the kind of person who would stab friends behind their backs. I must let go of all the feelings I had for Aaron. I never imagined that I would fall so quickly in love with him, but I now have to manage my emotions. My profession comes before my personal life. I am concerned about my contract with Aron. Jerry remains unaware of my marriage to Aron and the existence of our contract. I also wanted to share this information with her, but I didn't wan
Aron POV I redirected my thoughts to my ongoing Zoom meeting, even though Sara kept popping into my head. My distance from her was necessary for her to realize the emptiness I created in her life. I decided to distance myself from her as much as possible, realizing she couldn't tolerate my ignorance.Therefore, I raced my mind to uncover her vulnerability. The last time I cut off communication, she recognized her error and accepted my friendship. This time, I'm taking a significant risk by ignoring her. Perhaps she moved on from me entirely and found happiness with Jerry. However, our marriage contract stipulates that she can not leave me without my permission. After preparing dinner for them, I skipped eating and sat in the study room to join a Zoom conference. I was no longer interested in serving as her sexual instrument, so I administered sleeping pills to Jerry's dinner. She went to bed right after she finished her meal. I unlocked my playroom so that I could sleep there peac
Aron POV "Jerry?" I gave her a confused look. "Yes, she is Jerry's reincarnation." She nodded when she saw me. I agreed to give my daughter the name Jerry. I never thought hearing her pregnancy news would fill her with excitement. I thanked God for bringing her life to a normal pace since I couldn't afford to lose her. While we all mourned Jerry's passing, Jerry’s loss deeply affected her. My parents were overjoyed to see their little angel. I am grateful that Sara chose not to abort this child and instead allowed all of us to embrace this beautiful little angel. I have never experienced such a wonderful feeling before. I used to touch women to sate my hunger, but once I embraced my daughter, I realized that women are far more valuable to men than lust. Becoming a father filled me with a sense of responsibility, dedication, and respect for Sara even more. Even a month after my wife's delivery, I took care of her everyday requirements and restrained my need to touch her delicate
Sara POV "What have you just said?" I gave him a startled look. "Sara, I am sorry; please don't be angry. I'm not sure how or when, but trust me—it's not a mistake on my part." He nervously twiddles his fingers. "Tell me what you just said, Aaron." I asked him to repeat it. "You're expecting a child, Sara." He showed me the test results. "Is it true?" I raised my brow at him. "Yes." He gave a nod. "Thank you, God; I knew it; you can not stay away from me for a long time. She is coming, Aaron, just like she promised us before she passed away." I hugged him happily. He was surprised by my response when he learned I was pregnant. The void she left in my life was gnawing at me, so I pleaded to God day and night to get Jerry back. She took my death, so I drowned in guilt every day. Since her passing, I've spent the past few months locked up in my room, feeling completely cut off from everything. I spent my hours looking at the oak trees. I was amazed at this tree's rapid growth in
Aron POV "Jerry, open your eyes." After hitting Uncle Joe with a stone until he stopped breathing, I went back to Jerry. Uncle Joe stabbed a sharp piece of wood through her breast. She was struggling to breathe with her eyes closed. Jerry's blood stains Sara's white towel. Uncle Joe's blood is everywhere on my face. "You did a great job killing this monster, Aron." She was having trouble breathing. "Jerry, you will be all right." Sara looked at her with tear-filled eyes. "We've got to take her to the doctor." Sara asked me to take Jerry to the hospital. "You are right."Jerry asked me to stay here with her, holding my hand as I attempted to get up to go to the hospital. "Aaron, don't waste time. I have very little time, and I want to spend my last time with you." She attempted to communicate through her heavy breathing. "Sara, please sit here with me." She looked at Sara with tear-filled eyes. "I am sorry, Sara; please forgive me. You've had to endure all of this because of m
Sara POV His repulsive touch makes me sick to my stomach. I can't get out of here, even though I want to shove him away. I closed my eyes to surrender in front of my fate. He kissed me so hard that my lips swelled. My tears stopped flowing from my eyes. My body went numb, and I no longer felt the sensation of his hand moving. He forced me to lick his finger before inserting it into my vagina. He took hold of my hair and made me open my mouth. I opened my eyes and looked at his face. "Doll, don't glare at me; lick my finger." His eyes stared at my face with lust. My heart is filled with anger for him. I needed to open my mouth to lick his finger as he pulled my hair so tightly. He was moving his finger in and out of my mouth. I used all my effort to bite him, pressing his finger under my teeth. "You witch… I can't believe you bit my finger." He slapped me in the face. His strong slap on my face left my ear numb. "I thought to play with your body a little bit before fucking you, bu
Aron POV "Where are you, Sara?" I searched the entire house, but I could not locate her. I noticed the kitchenware scattered over the floor when I tried to prepare her for some herbal tea to help with her fever. I completely forgot to close the windows before rushing out the door to fetch the ingredients for the herbal tea. If I knew there would be a severe storm today, I would have taken extra precautions to lock all the windows. After making herbal tea, I walked into her room to wake her but was surprised to find her not in bed. "Where could she go now?" I looked all over the terrace, the garden, and the restroom for her, but I couldn't find her. Where can she go when she's so feeble, especially during such inclement weather? Now I'm concerned about her. Suddenly, my heart feels so heavy. I feel like something bad will happen. I heard a knocking sound on the door, so I ran towards the hall in hopes of finding Sara there, but I was surprised to see Jerry standing in front of me.
Sara POV "Aaron, I need water." My throat dried up, and my lips trembled for water. I tried to open my eyes, but thick stones covered my eyelids. My entire body hurts. All of my bones feel broken. My head is really heavy. I feel as though someone has placed my body on a frozen surface. My body feels so cold. "I need water."When I didn't hear a sound, I tried to move my hand to get the water mug from my side table. I didn't find a water mug on the side table, so I hardly opened my eyes. "Where are you, Aaron?" I tried to shout to call him here, but because of my weak body, my voice felt like a whisper to me. I had to get out of bed and head to the kitchen because I was so thirsty. I gathered all my remaining strength and went to the kitchen. I feel a strange suffocation today. Besides the pain, I have a terrible feeling that something awful is about to happen. Icy wind and dark clouds covered the environment. I filled the glass with water so I could sip. Why did Aron open all the
Aron POV What happened to her? I had never seen her so terrified before. She only got so scared when she had panic attacks, remembering her uncle Joe, so why was she afraid so suddenly today? She keeps saying that someone on this island is always watching us and following us around. Why is she feeling that way? Did she have some kind of mental illness? I don't think she has any problems. Her mind seems to be in good health. Then why is she making jokes about Uncle Joe's passing with me? I saw that man just one month ago, and he seems healthy and fine. When he saw me outside Sara's house, why did he flee? Before I could inform her about the incident, she made fun of me and said that she had killed Uncle Joe. Aron, please come inside the house. What are you doing there? Her voice interrupted my internal conversation. I took the dried, red-painted wooden piece and considered using it to further tease her. When I touched the wood, it held my fingerprints. How on earth is it possible t
Sara POV "W..who..which men are you talking about?" My tongue stammered when I questioned him. "I recognized a man from your old album. I mistakenly believed it to be your Uncle Joe because he was standing directly behind you while you were cutting the cake." He stared directly into my face. Should I tell him the truth now? I am afraid of what he will think of me after knowing the truth. "Sara, why are you quiet?" His voice burst my mental bubble. "Ye..yes." I nodded my head. "What will you do, Aron, if you discover that I killed someone?" I glared fearfully at him. "Sara, what kind of joke is this?" He burst out laughing. "How could you murder a man when you can't even kill a mosquito?" He laughed so hard that he wiped away his tears. "But I did kill Uncle Joe by accident." I tell him the truth. "I did assassinate Queen Victoria, too." He laughed at me. Now, how should I make him believe in me? He didn't take my word seriously. If I told him that I saw Uncle Joe's ghost ev
Aron POV "Aron, please check your phone network." She asked me to check my phone. "Oh yes, I completely forgot about that." I retrieved my phone from my bag and checked the phone network. "Now it functions." "Please call Jerry and ask her to send some clothes for me." She asked me to call Jerry's phone number. "However, it is now three in the morning." I looked at her with raised eyebrows. "So what? We are in such a remote area with no phone network, so it's better to tell her now before the phone network disappears." She gestured for me to press the dial button. "OK, my dear wife." I dialed Jerry's number on her behalf. "What do you want? How could you call me at such an early hour? Where is your wife?" After calling, she became irate with me for interfering with her sleep. "I apologize, Jerry. Sara asked you to send her some clothes because she was having problems with the bikinis you had selected." Her tone of anger made me laugh. "You called me at such an early hour just
