Sarah's pov"Very tired today?" Ethan opened the car door for me even though he knew I could open it myself with my hands and should have done so sooner.I threw him a smile. "Yeah, something like that," I replied with an ambiguous answer.I got out of the car and went inside with her. If you ask me if I'm tired, then the answer is, of course, I'm very, very tired. But I didn't want to give her that kind of answer.I didn't want to add more burden to her mind. During our return trip, I found out that Ethan had announced his identity through the media.The mass media is currently discussing many articles about him. They've made her the hottest news. So that meant the whole office now knew who I was married to.My question about where Donna found out was finally answered; she found out from the media that published the news, just like the others who also began to confirm the truth by mass messaging me. It was crazy and exhausting."Why have you been silent since before? You have no inte
Sarah’s POVThe long-awaited day has finally arrived. Now, I'm standing in the middle of the dressing room of Ethan's residence, which I also live in. Usually, I don't change clothes here because everything I need is in the room I use.But this time, it's different for today. Everything I need for my wedding ceremony is here. Even though Ethan said this is my first wedding, it's not my first.I will never forget my previous wedding experience. No matter how the story goes, I walked down a similar aisle and said my vows, that day I didn't mess around. I was full of hopes and prayers that the marriage would go well, as well as it could. I also harbored hopes for happiness, and everything I felt that day was sincere from my heart. Although I don't know what Alex was feeling and thinking. Maybe he had to."Are you nervous, miss?" May, the butler of Ethan's house, smiled at me.Seeing the smile on her lips, full of beautiful wrinkles and enchanting curves, somewhat lessened my nervousness.
Alex's pov"What is this? They're married?" I slammed down the newspaper I was reading. My breathing was ragged, my temper suddenly rising after getting that kind of news into my morning intake.Damn it! When I was in a bad situation and trying to re-strategize to survive, they were moving closer to happiness.No! No, they don't deserve to be happy. They shouldn't be satisfied when I don't know what will happen to my life next. Those humans shouldn't be above my misery.I laughed lightly. "That loser didn't even invite his own family, huh?" He really was too much.He obviously shared the same last name as us, but he never looked at us in the slightest. What a jerk. I got up from my seat, my rising emotions making my blood flow fast and hot until my body was restless, just standing still."What was he thinking? He wants us to consider him family, but he acts as expendable. That jerk is really manipulative, he makes it seem like he's the victim of the most pain, when it's his own behavi
Alex’s POVSavoring her body never disappoints, but I wanted something else... something different, something to start things off with.I might have been more satisfied if I had done it with Sarah instead of Emily. Sarah, for one thing, even if I could be with her again later, I would still keep Emily with me.It's easy to trick these two, but I just need to hide Emily again, as I did before.But for now, I need to focus more on my plan. My plan can be fully executed if I get help from Emily, so for the time being, I need to keep Emily on my side."Are you awake?" I heard the sound of Emily's whimpering voice moving in my arms.That woman fell asleep and lost consciousness after I made her so tired by doing it repeatedly with her. I thought she would never get tired because no matter how rough I played and how much I wanted her to follow, but in the end, she collapsed, falling asleep with a body full of sweat."I feel so tired..." she mumbled softly, tightening her embrace on my body.
Sarah’s pov “Wow, the wind is really strong!” I exclaimed. I almost shouted because of my inaudible voice. The strong wind carried my voice with it.Holding my hand, Ethan looked at me with his eyes as if he were talking to me. His hand moved quickly to catch my hat back on my head. Again, the wind tried to blow it away. “The weather is perfect, so the wind will be quite strong.” He tightened the clothes I was wearing, and then his hand led me to walk toward the shoreline.I followed him as I continued to cast my eyes in all directions, marveling at where the beach stretched out, surrounded by many things that further enhanced the scenery.This was my first time at the beach before I was busy enough that I didn’t have time to have fun. If you think about it, what was I really doing? I spent my teenage years really studying. I studied very hard. Those who knew me would definitely admit that.Then, after I graduated from high school, I helped out at Ethan’s father’s company, and I spen
Sarah’s povHe did, so I pulled my blanket to cover myself more tightly. My body was completely devoid of anything under the covers. Of course, it was all thanks to Ethan that I ended up in the room.I thought we would enjoy the view of the afternoon sky by just sitting in an intimate embrace, breathing in the salty beach air, but he chose to do something else crazy with the time we had. It seemed that it wasn't a light romance that was desired but rather a burning hot romance."What are you doing, Eth?" I tried to sit up with my blanket as high as possible, looking at him, who seemed to be sitting not far from me.Ethan glanced at me, looking away momentarily from the laptop on his desk. Seeing him busy doing something else in between this time felt very inappropriate and honestly annoying.I scrunched up my face to stare at him in disbelief. "You're working?" He made me even more convinced that he was a workaholic.I understand that maybe he has priorities at work that he can't leav
Sarah's POV"Eth, I beg you to drop me off." I whispered in a whisper in his ear before we actually got there.Ethan obeyed me, he put me down. My body quickly slumped from his body. Then, I grabbed my waist when my feet weren't fully footed.Even though the night is dark today, his eyes are still clear and beautiful, side by side with the night clouds full of stars. Many times, those eyes caught and paralyzed my gaze just at him. "As you asked, my dear."He pressed my body tightly against him, and then his hand played with the hair that blew onto my face, attentively slipping it back behind my ear.The eye blinked, then returned to my eyeball. "What do you want to do?" he asked patiently, even though a few seconds ago, I saw that he seemed to have lost control and was ready to slam me into bed, wrestling with sweat for the umpteenth time.But now that he was standing and looking at me warmly, the cold wind that was busy blowing toward us was clearly no match for the warmth he was giv
Alex's pov"I can't believe that Sarah is married to Ethan."I glanced at the window of the cafe as I heard Sarah's name being mentioned, I wasn't sure which Sarah they were talking about, but the name caught my attention. Something in that string of names had repeatedly intrigued me and stopped me from doing what I was doing.Several times, it happened, and I couldn't control it. I couldn't ignore it and tried not to listen, even though sometimes the news wasn't pleasant, but I listened anyway. Strangely I didn't avoid it and instead seemed curious about what happened to her."Which part don't you believe? The part about her getting married, or the part about her marrying a wonderful man." The laughter that followed that remark sounded familiar with a figure that I'm sure she didn't even know in person.Then, another laugh from the other person was heard. "Honestly, both." I sipped my tea quietly while listening and acting like I hadn't heard anything."I didn't know that she had a m
Sarah's POV“What do you think of the dress?” I twirled before Lira, who sat casually in her chair, nibbling on something.Lira’s eyes carefully assessed me from head to toe with a serious expression. Then, she motioned with her hand for me to turn around and show the other side. Only after doing so she nodded approvingly. “You look perfect,” she praised me with a satisfied smile.She got up from her seat and walked over to me, her hands gently adjusting a few strands of my hair that were out of place, making me look slightly untidy.“There’s no one more beautiful than you,” she effortlessly complimented me again.I chuckled softly at her words. Then, I turned to face the mirror, seeing myself wrapped in a white mermaid-style satin gown that beautifully accentuated my figure.The dress looked stunning with a long skirt and an elegantly open top. I truly loved it, but I couldn’t help feeling a little self-conscious. “But don’t you think it’s a bit too much?” I asked.From behind me, Ly
Ethan's POV After finishing our meal together, Sarah once again disappeared from sight. I’m sure she’s busy with Edmund now. That little boy has stolen his mother from me. No matter what or where Edmund is her priority, I feel my position has been shifted."Sir, would you like me to prepare some tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head, intending to return to work for a while, but I changed my mind this time. "No need. Have you seen where Sarah is?""Miss Sarah is in Master Edmund's room, sir. She's putting him to sleep," Emy replied promptly.I figured she'd be there. I remember telling her that Edmund should get used to sleeping in his room. After all, he's old enough. But Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until he fell asleep.I then moved toward Edmund's room, right next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah as soon as I entered.I hugged her tightly from behind while gazing at our sleeping son. I rested my chin between Sarah’s shoulder and neck and kissed her s
Ethan povAs soon as they finished eating together, Sarah did not show herself again, to the point that I am sure she must also be busy with Edmund this time. The little boy stole his mother from me, so now, whatever it is and wherever it is, Edmund is her priority, and my position has shifted."Master want me to prepare tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head. I had originally planned to go back to work for a while, but this time, I canceled my intention. "No need. Where did you see Sarah?""Miss Sarah is in Mr. Edmund's room, sir. she was putting him to sleep." Emy replied immediately.I thought she must be there. I remember telling her to get used to Edmund going to his own bedroom; after all, Edmund was old enough, but Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until Edmund fell asleep.I then moved there, walking to the room next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah just as I entered Edmund's room.I walked up to her even though I hugged him from behind. Looking at our
Ethan povAfter Sarah went downstairs to the inn, she needed to stay until her condition completely recovered after giving birth. I was in the room with her still holding her hand and stroking her gently."Do I look ugly?" she suddenly asked about it.I moved my eyebrows up silently, smiling, and shook my head slowly, denying her words. "It's not at all that you always look beautiful in my eyes, yesterday, today, and whenever; it doesn't matter what happens."My eyes looked at her with a gentle glint, and then my hand moved slowly, caressing her hair. Sarah, who just a few hours ago faced the Biggest Thing in her life, looks very beautiful in my eyes right now. You could say she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. No woman could match her beauty; she was perfect for me."Does it feel so painful?" I looked at her with a fixed gaze and rubbed her cheeks slowly.The woman lying weakly on the bed shook her head slightly. She still looked helpless. "I'm not sure what it would be l
Ethan's POV"Sarah, what's going on? What happened?" I panicked and rushed into the bathroom after hearing her cry. I found Sarah bracing herself against the wall, visibly in pain, stretching her arms.I quickly turned off the faucet, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around her. She clung to me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "I think I'm having contractions... I think it's time.""Time to give birth?" I looked at her, shocked.Even though we had prepared everything and eagerly anticipated this day, I still felt nervous when it finally arrived. I had researched what to do when Sarah went into labor, preparing myself as best as possible.But what you think and face are two very different things. My mind went utterly blank, overwhelmed with panic and fear. I repeatedly took deep breaths to calm myself as I helped Sarah get dressed."Okay, we’re heading to the hospital now. I’m taking you there." Once she was dressed, I lifted her and carried her downstairs, gently placing her in
Sarah's POVEthan immediately adjusted everything accordingly when I heard that we were having a boy. He called the decorators to prepare the room with a baby boy theme.Blue, white, and yellow dominated his chosen colors for the room's design. "Do you like it?" he glanced at me as I stood at the doorway.Meanwhile, Ethan was inside, moving around to arrange everything. He forbade me from entering, saying the smell of the paint was still too strong and could bother my senses. He was right. Even from a distance, I could still see the pungent paint fumes.I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I love it. I'm sure our little one will love it too. If he knew his dad prepared all of this for him, he’d be so happy."During my pregnancy, Ethan seemed happy, but his emotions during the first and second trimesters were quite complex. He was joyful, yet at the same time, he looked anxious, worried, and full of confusion. He expressed his concerns by forbidding me from doing many things and becoming overly
Sarah POV “Good morning, Miss Sarah. How are you today?” The doctor who regularly manages my pregnancy greeted me with her usual friendly demeanor.I smiled in response. “I’m good, Doctor,” I replied, pulling a chair across from her.The doctor began by reviewing my previous pregnancy reports. “Any complaints recently, Miss? How’s your pregnancy going?” she asked, briefly meeting my gaze before returning to the documents.Lately, there haven't been as many issues as the first and second trimesters. Both those stages were incredibly challenging. In the first trimester, I lost a lot of weight, which caused Ethan to panic.During the second trimester, though the severe nausea had subsided, my body still took a long time to adjust.But now, I could smile and answer, “No complaints, Doctor. Everything’s been fine with the pregnancy lately, though it’s getting a bit hard to move around.”The doctor smiled again. “That’s because the baby is growing healthily, and the weight has increased.”
Sarah POV "It seems we have to head back now," the devil beside me whispered softly, kissing my forehead after he finished his phone call. He had just received another call from Luke. I overheard a bit of it, and it sounded li ke something urgent at the office required Evan's presence. From what I know, they're signing a new project, and it might be the one that needs Ethan's direct attention. Well, to be fair, he's been on vacation for quite a while now. He took time off earlier to care for me after that incident with Diana's appearance. Before that, he also took an extended vacation when we went to an island, thinking I'd get bored staying home. Ethan's been spoiling me in many ways, but it's time for him to return to work. I gently stroked his face. "Yes, besides, we've been on vacation long enough. Have you contacted Elda to tell her not to follow us?" I suddenly remembered our personal chef, Elda, whose cooking made this trip even more delightful. She was never disappointed;
Sarah POV -“Do you not have a good relationship with James?” I turned to him as he opened the door for me.He glanced at me briefly. “Why do you ask?” He guided me inside carefully, still faithfully holding my hand and supporting my body.I shook my head lightly. “It’s nothing, I’m just curious. You two don’t seem to communicate well. Every time you start talking, it sounds like you're trying to punch and counter each other, then move on to the next attack.”I heard him chuckle softly. “Does it really sound like that?”I nodded. “Yes, it sounds like that and it looks like that. But strangely, your conversations go smoothly. You ask, and he answers, explains, and gives information. I thought he was really neglecting Grace.”I sighed, thinking it would have been the worst if that were true. But thankfully, it wasn’t, even though I had already misunderstood James. I thought he wasn’t a good father, but I didn’t know what he’d been through, what he’d done to raise his daughter alone and
