Sarah’s POV"Where do you want to treat me?" Ethan got up from his chair and took off the doctor's coat he had been wearing.He looked impressive in that doctor's coat, but even when he took it off, he was still amazing. They say being fashionable is all about the face and body proportions, while what you wear is just a support that reinforces the impression, and Ethan proved that through his face.The man was perfect even though he was wearing strange clothes made by designers who made clothes no longer for their function to be comfortable to wear but because of their breakthroughs and desire to be different."From this place, turn to Orchid Street. I will direct you further," I replied to his words as he opened his car door and ensured I got inside first.Ethan briefly raised his gaze to me, and he made me sit there and put my seatbelt on.I don't know if he was teasing me or what, but he managed to make my heart beat irregularly because of it. He made me stop breathing briefly when
Sarah’s POV"You know him, Ethan?" I looked at Ethan and Mr. Luke in turn. Mr. Luke was my boss at the place where I worked, and as far as I knew, I had never introduced the two, and they had never met either, so how could they know each other?I noticed Ethan averting his gaze from Luke. He looked rather awkward, while Mr. Luke seemed to be avoiding my gaze. What exactly happened between them?Ethan raised his hand and pointed at Luke with his open palm. "He and I are acquainted as patients. He is one of my patients."I covered my mouth with my hand. "Ah, is that so?" My eyes widened, turning to Mr. Luke with a sympathetic face. "So you're sick, sir?"I saw Mr. Luke's face staring at me hesitantly and not looking good. I immediately fell silent, the expression on his face making me wonder if maybe my question to him crossed the line. Could it be that his illness is a secret, and I made him feel awkward from earlier by asking them. "Ah, sorry. I shouldn't have asked, once again sorry
Sarah's POVI stared at Ethan in disbelief, my palms covering my agape mouth. I didn't expect that Ethan had this kind of thing he was hiding from me. That guy is unpredictable. Actually, he did look mysterious, but I thought that his mysteriousness only came from the character he had, but apart from that, Ethan was full of surprises.Getting to know and spending time with him made me feel like I was opening up layer upon layer of parts of him that I didn't know before. I sighed heavily while shaking my head. This was too much information. My hand covering my mouth now covered my face, which was sitting down. Then, I tried to breathe better.I straightened my head again, and then my eyes searched for water in the glass and drank it in a hurry. I had to process this information well somehow. Then I looked at Mr. Luke and Ethan, going back and forth between them with a questioning gaze. "My boss? Is it true, Mr. Luke?" I wanted him to confirm it.I watched as Mr. Luke nodded his head. "
Alex Pov's"Ah, shit! What happened?" I closed the door of the house roughly and dropped my body on the sofa unceremoniously.Today's decision really pissed me off. Where exactly did she get all that evidence for the submission when I had been so careful every time I saw Emily? I'm sure I wasn't being careless by having someone catch my trail or anything like that. I even applied to various places to see Emily, not under my name, but how could she know?"What a bitch!" My hand picked up the sofa cushion and threw it unceremoniously in annoyance. My emotions were getting the better of me, my body felt a radiating heat, and I repeatedly inhaled and exhaled, not making me feel any better.My chest still felt like it was on fire. Everything should have gone well. This is beyond my imagination. I thought she would just be angry for a while and accept me again. Hasn't she always been independent, not relying on the help of others and always making herself her helper? So why was she so angry
Sarah’s pov"I said let go of my hand, Alex!" I'm sure my voice was quite a loud screech, but strangely, Alex didn't respond at all.He didn't hear what I said and just looked at me sharply. The guy pissed me off with his actions.He didn't reflect on his mistake and realize what he had done. He was wrong, but he didn't try to improve and show that he had changed.Loves me, she says. Huh, seriously. It's all bullshit. Does he think I'm still that stupid woman who adores him and will tolerate all his behavior and put up with it? No, I will never do that to him again. My patience had run out with him. I would never give him another chance.I tightened my fists and gave her a sharp look. "You'd better let go of my hand, or I'll scream and call security in this place." I let my eyes continue to stare at him fiercely without looking away from him.I showed her that I was brave enough to face her, that she didn't scare me. Let him know that he won't be able to intimidate me anymore."You ha
Sarah's pov"Yeah, so what if I'm after her? You were stupid for letting her feel disrespected and mistreated, and now it's too late for you to regret it." Ethan responded loudly to Alex's words.Again, my heart sank at his answer. He said it so well that it made me think that he was really in love with me and not acting to convince Diana and Alex that we did love each other. This nonsense drove me crazy, continuing to shake and weaken me simultaneously."You asshole! I knew you were a bad person, but I didn't think you'd be so bad as to go after your nephew's wife." I turned my gaze to Alex, who was pointing his hand at Ethan.Ethan didn't deserve that kind of insult, but Alex's words sounded like undeniable facts because of the situation. I felt bad for Ethan because that kind of insult would be said not only by the Meyers family but also by others who knew about my marriage to Alex and Ethan's status as a member of that family. They would scoff at him.I noticed the cold look on Et
Alex's POV"Everything's fucked up because of that asshole Ethan!" I sighed heavily, releasing all the frustration I felt in my chest.My head was full of things that I was tired of. I thought about it, kept thinking about it, but couldn't find a way to solve it. Right now, I feel like I'm in the corner of the room with Ethan and Sarah backing me into a corner, and I have no way out because they're blocking my way by getting in front of me.The only way I had was to pull Sarah into that corner to be with me and I would be safe, not only would I be able to move freely but I would have a way to leave, but the problem was, Sarah was in Ethan's arms. That jerk was holding her tightly and controlling her, making it hopeless for me to shake him.I heaved my breath heavily backward, dropping my head to rest on the shoulder of the chair I was sitting on. "Even the air on this veranda still makes me claustrophobic." Ever since I felt stuffy, my chest felt like it was being squeezed by somethin
Alex's pov"Ah, my hand." I pulled on my arm, which felt numb from being Emily's back to sleep. I gently lifted her head from my arm and laid it on the pillow.At the same time, I heard the sound of approaching steps and then the door of my room opened firmly, startling Emily who woke up immediately at the sound, she looked at me in confusion, then looked towards the door where mom appeared there with her dark face holding angry and unfriendly.The middle-aged woman looked at me with a sharp gaze. "Alex, Emily, what are you doing in this place?" she asked in a voice that she was forced not to shout. I knew that my mother was holding in her frustration.She must have felt furious but couldn't vent it because Emily was there. But Emily, who was beside me, didn't seem bothered at all by that sight. "What's wrong, Mom? We're a couple. It's normal for us to spend time together."I rolled my eyeballs in another direction and then closed them. I didn't know whether Emily was insensitive or i
