Sarah’s POV

"Is the situation getting better?" I sat on my bed, my mind going nowhere even as I had just woken up.

My eyes glanced at my phone, which I didn't dare to touch because I was still traumatised by what I had read the previous day. I was afraid that today would receive even worse talks.

My hand hesitated to look at it. "It's better that I don't check it for now." I pulled back the covers and put my phone on the small nightstand beside my bed.

It was better not to know anything that could ruin my day. Ethan had promised to fix things, so for the time being, I just needed to wait quietly without much thought.

"Maybe working out will help me." I left my room, grabbed an apple from the pantry table and walked outside.

Ethan's large garden at the back was my destination to enjoy the fresh morning air and warm sun.

They say the bright sun can make you feel better, so I wanted to try to make myself feel better with its warmth. I hope the sun is shining this morning.

It seemed like

    Sarah's pov"So it's really her that the media is talking about?" As soon as I entered the office, people's reactions were as expected.Some of them directed their gazes at me without caring whether I was comfortable or not because their curiosity was far more important than what my reaction would be.I continued to walk straight ahead even though the corners of my eyes naturally caught their presence around me. I saw what the expressions on their faces were like as they looked at me while moving their necks to continue following my movements.I didn't fully understand what they were doing, but their curiosity was somewhat understandable."This is very, very unexpected. I didn't expect that she would be the wife of the famous Murray family." It was obvious that they were talking about me.Although the news was quickly dealt with by freezing every account posted, many social media accounts snapped screenshots and reposted them, and only some people couldn't see them. It was likely that

    Alex's pov"Why is everyone staring at me with that annoying look?" I got into my car immediately. My gut feeling was not good, and I wanted to get home immediately to check what had really happened.I drove my car at a fast speed and then made a turn. I was surprised when the main gate of the mansion where my residence was located was surrounded by many reporters with cameras and flashes on as soon as they saw my car enter the estate. "Ah, asshole, what the hell is going on right now?" I accelerated my car from there and entered my yard immediately."Sir, for a while, the house phone has been ringing and asking where you are." As soon as I entered the house, a servant approached me.He added to the pressure I was receiving even more. "Then why are you telling me? Can't you solve such a trivial matter? Tell me I'm busy not being home or something. Why bother." I snapped at him in annoyance without being able to help myself."I'll do it, sir." He complied and left, as did I, who quickl

    Alex's pov"This doesn't feel like her doing." I stared intently at my laptop screen.All the news that appeared there was too detailed, there was a video of my meeting with Emily, although if you look at Emily's part it's not so clear, but our closeness looks like an affair is evident.Various recordings were enough to be part of a video compilation, not just one or two times in some places, but almost all our meetings since four months ago were recorded there. I didn't understand how those recordings could be gathered together like that.It seemed really strange. Even the voice recording of Mom discussing the reason for the divorce with Sarah was played by some media outlets, like an exclusive news story."Or maybe someone bugged the house!" I deservedly got up from my bed and looked around the room, wondering if it had been fitted with a small monitoring camera or a bugging device.I looked under my bed and checked every corner. Right now, there was nothing I could trust. Even thou

    Alex’s povInstead of landing on Sarah's cheek, my raised and swinging hand was caught by someone who suddenly appeared between us."What are you doing?" Holding my wrist, Ethan looked at me sharply, his eyes glancing intently at me.I could feel his hand tightly gripping my wrist until it felt like the blood in my hand couldn't flow. "Let go!" I spoke to him without hesitation.Ignoring his gaze, which had always bothered me, every time I saw him, I remembered my grandfather's face, who always stared at me flatly with no interest. Both he and my grandfather always made me feel annoyed and unappreciated. They were both the same person, with equally unpleasant mannerisms.I had always ignored him, considering him not part of the family, which I used to do because I didn't want to be involved with him. But this time, I didn't need to feel awkward with him. He had intruded into my life, so I would not hesitate to do so as well."I said, let go of my hand!" I threw his hand away from me.

    Sarah's pov"Where is she now?" I stood up from my seat uneasily.After the fight between Ethan and Alex, which was quite fierce, without being interrupted by the security guard in the building, Alex soon lost consciousness and surprised me. I panicked, thinking something might have happened to him, and took him seriously. Regardless of what Alex did, I didn't want to see someone's death occur in front of me, so I checked on him frantically.But Ethan pulled me from there and said that Alex had just fainted. He lost his self-consciousness, but he was fine, so I didn't need to worry. Before I could speak again, he had already led me out of the building, put me in his car, and told Luke to go home while he didn't say anything else.I really didn't know what was going on, and I'd been trying to contact him to ask, but Ethan never picked up his phone calls until late afternoon, when he still hadn't come home.I walked to the door and stared anxiously at the front gate. "Is he okay?" my pa

    Sarah's povI couldn't sleep all night because I was too excited for the day my divorce announcement would be finalised. "What time is it already?" I looked at the clock beside my bed, which showed five in the morning while the court decision would be read out at nine.There were still at least four hours left, even though I slept at around two last night. I had been in bed since nine o'clock, but no matter how hard I closed my eyes, I never fell asleep. It wasn't until I finally checked the clock and realised it was almost two o'clock that I could fall asleep."What should I do?" I sat quietly on my bed while staring at nothing in particular.Right now, I was also filled with various thoughts, thinking about whether the results of the decision reading were satisfactory to me or the opposite. Ethan said the decision would go as we expected, but still, I thought about what if the possibility said something else.There was no telling what Alex might do to overturn the divorce decree. I

    Sarah’s POV"Hello, Lira, you're on your way, right?" I called back to her across from Ethan, who was driving his car to one of the restaurants we were going to."Yes, I'm on the road now. Where do you want me to meet you?" he answered in a casual tone.I turned my gaze back to Ethan, who occasionally looked at me while I was listening. "Meet me at the Central restaurant by the pier." I waited for a long time to be able to take him there.Actually, the place there has been on my bucket list for a long time. I love the food they serve, and the view is so beautiful. The restaurant has a price that is worth the taste, and it is not only enjoyed by the tongue but also by the eyes. In addition to the price being expensive and making me rethink every time I go there, I also think about the person I hope sits enjoying a romantic dinner there, Alex. But no matter how much I talked about the place to him, he never listened to me and agreed that someday we would go together."Are you sure you'r

    Ethan’s pov"That was close." I caught her unsteady shoulders and lost her consciousness. Her behaviour before walking away earlier came back to my mind. I didn't expect her to have that kind of side and act out of character when drunk.I slowly smoothed her hair while looking at her face, asleep in my arms. A small giggle appeared on those tiny lips. I didn't know what was going through her head, but I knew something fun was spinning in her mind."You seem to like it a lot." I gasped and looked back, realising Lira's existence, who had somehow returned to the table with full consciousness.Unlike before, her face seemed to be swaying, her eyes unfocused, and she danced along with Sarah before Sarah finally returned to the table while babbling about how happy she was on this day.She took me by surprise. I was suddenly caught by her, looking at Sarah while smiling at her. Of course, that allowed her to see into my eyes.Lira smiled at me. "If you're with her, then I agree. I support y

    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
