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

    Alex's Pov"Mom, is it possible that he knows about it? Is it possible that Uncle knows that we have to have Sarah's child to have a claim on her inheritance?" I just thought about that. It wasn't impossible if he knew about it and thought this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.She had acted as if she was not interested, continuing to pretend until the opportunity came to her, and she changed her situation. The reason why he was suddenly interested was apparent. It was all because he felt that he could control Sarah well."Argh..." I clucked irritably while rubbing my nape roughly and exited my bed. "What are you doing making such strange conditions?" I stood before my mother wearing only pants while my top was still scattered on the floor.From what I could see, my mom was thinking about it with a severe face. Perhaps she also didn't expect Ethan to know this. I'm sure he got the same inheritance reading as us, but the part where only Sarah was chosen to mediate the birth

    Sarah’s povI stepped carefully down the stairs, turning towards the kitchen to make the tea that I would enjoy alone. When my eyes found Ethan sitting out there, I added water to the teapot to brew enough for two cups of tea.While waiting for the water to boil, I prepared two cups on a tray and the accompanying cookies. I arranged them neatly, and then I was silent, stretching my arms on the edge of the kitchen table while looking at Ethan's back, sitting in the back garden."Is he busy working?" I muttered, watching him, craning my neck. I looked to the side to see what exactly he was doing, and I saw that he was sitting on his laptop. "So he's working on something?" My eyes shifted from the man, checking on the teapot that started making noise from the boiling water.I gently lifted the teapot, poured the contents into both glasses with the same contents, and then stirred them. Carrying it along with the tray from there, heading to the same place Ethan was sitting. "You don't mind

    Sarah's pov"Talking about us?" My heart automatically pounded more noisily than before. Something inside of me erupted, turning my excitement into something more intense. As if spurred on by something, I was pounding with excitement but also questioning.What does this man want to ask me?I stared at him intently, noticing every curve and line of his face, including his smile that was still sweetly perched on the corners of his lips, even though it was only slightly raised. Something that made me marvel at her charm.My eyebrows moved to dispel my awkwardness of being silent and watching him as he nodded in response to my question. "What is there to talk about us?"About us. Why do I now feel it taboo to mention it with my mouth as if it's unusual and so out of the ordinary? For a moment, I was excited because there was the word we between him and me? It's just that I clearly remember why the word we could be mentioned by her was based on cooperation between us, nothing less and noth

    Sarah’s POvThat afternoon was a weekend when I was free from my work routine. After breakfast this morning, I went upstairs to my room and did what I wanted. In between, I was a bit lazy by lying on my bed, which always called me to be on it, and snuggling with the blanket. If I look at the cloudy weather outside, it's like it's giving me an excuse to keep hiding under the blanket. "It's fine, I don't have any urgent work either," I muttered, giving myself a reason to relax. There was nothing that really urged me to move anyway. The matter of my divorce was even just pending in the next week.What happened that day and afterward, I wanted to plan only after the verdict to be more relieved and feel free with my completely changed status. But the knock on the door that came to my ears made my body move from the middle of the bed and get off. "Yes, just a moment." My voice answered her as I walked over to the door and straightened my hair. "What's wrong?" I asked the man behind the doo

    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

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
