Alex’s POV

"You'll be in trouble soon, Ethan." I smiled proudly at myself in the mirror.

Today, I contacted most of the company's shareholders and directors, talking them into siding with me and my mom to have the election of the new president re-run. I can't let Ethan take over the situation. He has no right to my seat.

I had dreamed of it for a long time, believing that I would become the absolute decision-maker of the company, replacing my grandfather. Ethan didn't deserve it. He wasn't part of the full Murrey family, and his blood wasn't as pure as mine. He was an unwanted child, a child from an unworthy relationship.

While my mother is the child of a legitimate wife, my grandmother clearly influenced the growth of the group built by the Murray family, so clearly, my mother has more rights. My mother was more deserving of claiming everything the Murray family had and deserved to inherit.

I turned away from the glass in front of me, picked up my tie, and started putting it on. I lo

    Alex POVIt's a good thing these people will side with me soon. They'll know that I'm more fit to lead than Ethan, who certainly doesn't know anything about business. Uncle Dave needs to corner him even more. I'm really looking forward to being the elder in the company and having that kind of influence to pressure Ethan and make Ethan falter."So indirectly, you want to call me incompetent?" Ethan responded, his eyes looking flat. All I could see was that he was trying to dominate with his attitude, trying to get them to bend the knee to his will.It was annoying. Who did he think he was? Why would someone like him be that arrogant? What was he trying to brag about?He looked straight at Uncle Dave, who was trying not to be affected by her aura. "You're talking as if I don't know anything about business."I can't let Uncle Dave's attack go to waste and make him feel like he's fighting alone there. The truth was that many disagreed with his leadership, and Ethan needed to know about th

    Alex’s PovNo, no, no. No... there's no way he has that kind of ability.My heart beating rapidly, I began to frantically stare at him. I subconsciously felt the fear of completely losing that place as a position I could have.It shouldn't be like this. He should be sliding because his educational background and experience were not favourable, but again, he seemed to blink the situation from every attack I had prepared to take her down."This can't be." I stared at him wide-eyed.At his desk, Ethan seemed to be sitting casually and staring arrogantly. "What's impossible?" His tone of voice sounded playful to me, like he was talking to a child he was teasing. My hands clenched into fists, and my jaw hardened.Damn that, Ethan! Mom should have made him completely disappear if she felt he was a threat to us.Now look at what he did to secretly make us lose what was rightfully ours.The file was forcefully snatched from my hands by a stranger who looked like his subordinate. He took it an

    Ethan’s POV"What did you say?" Alex glared at me, from his eyes I could see anger and resentment rising there.Much to my amusement, my hand pulled his shoulder closer. I patted and smoothed his collar. There was no need for me to be aggressive like him by pulling his collar and speaking rudely out loud in front of the reasonable people who were currently busy assessing the candidate who wanted to become the president of the Reserve and me, who had officially taken office as the president.There was no need to be as primitive as an ancient animal like Alex just to show that I had influence and power. I chuckled and patted his shoulder. The poor baby who was always with his mother must be very sad and disappointed right now. "I said I could fire you whenever I wanted, Alex." This was my warning to her.This is not a warning for him to improve his attitude and become more self-aware, but rather a warning for him to prepare himself because sooner or later, I will destroy him. I've been

    Ethan's Pov"Tell me what you mean?" the ignorant fool who didn't seem to accept it chased after me. He stopped me just as I got into the car and opened the door.His hand pushed the car door frame back closed, his action then made me sharpen my gaze on his hand leaning on the door frame then, my eyes moved up and glanced at him. "I mean, I'm going to kick you out."I knew that he wasn't smart but I didn't think that he was that stupid to understand what I was saying to him, let alone my reason for telling her to clean up his stuff. There's no way I could have asked him to stay with me for that reason. It really doesn't make sense. I will never become friendly with her, or Diana, ever again.Alex has never been an adorable nephew to me, even when he was just born. He was never visible to me when he was a baby, but as he grew and toddled, his annoying attitude did appear.I don't know what his mother said to influence his brain's reaction to me, but that little toddler knew how to igni

    Sarah's pov"Oh... what happened?" My body was pushed back as Ethan suddenly came over and hugged me.What I saw earlier when I heard the sound of the elevator opening, I could see his face looking grim and heavy, he looked exhausted and I remember smiling at him. I didn't expect him to hug me so tightly without any reason or explanation.I'm sure there wasn't anyone watching at the moment, and he had to pretend to be intimate with me. We didn't need to show our harmonious relationship. But maybe that guy is tired right now. He hugged me so tightly while burying his face between my shoulders."Are you okay, Ethan?" I gently rubbed the big man's back, comforting him, who was probably very tired because there were so many things he needed to do. "Do you want me to get you something?"Maybe some warm tea would help him feel better. I remember I kept chamomile that I used to brew into tea. Sometimes, I would drink it when my head was a bit throbbing, or I was tired, with a lot of thoughts

    Sarah’s POV"You want to announce our marriage?" I repeated it again, and she nodded her head in agreement. "Immediately after your announcement as the head of this company?"She nodded firmly. "I even intend to announce it at the same time." She smiled in front of me as if it was funny.But I didn't understand the direction of his joke, which wasn't amusing at all. I mean, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad about this. Marrying him, with a contract status, is not what I want, but rejecting him for that reason makes me afraid that he will stay away from me.Between not wanting to hurt my own feelings and being afraid of losing him, I really can't choose. What if I get caught up in one or the other and repeat the failed romance all over again?"Why?" Ethan cupped my face in his palms. "Why are you silent? You don't seem interested." Ethan's eyes darkened. He somehow seemed to dislike my attitude.I smiled awkwardly in front of him, taking his hand and holding it. "No, it's not li

    Sarah's POVI still can't believe what Ethan said about his feelings, which is now making me fall into a daydream. I secretly continue to smile like a crazy person, then stomp my feet crazily, lower my face, cover it with my hands and laugh embarrassedly."Am I not dreaming right now?" I returned like a fool who lost my mind, leaning against the back of my bedroom door with limp legs and a body slumped down.The smile had been perched on my face ever since, and if I recalled what we had done earlier, my heart was again stunned and blossoming. "It feels really sweet." I touched my lips, and I still remembered his touch.This time his kiss seemed to speak to me, with his touch I felt like he was affirming his feelings for me, sending the flavor he felt in his touch. Previously I felt his kiss felt so protective and passionate, it made me think it was natural. Because both me and him are adults who have sexual urges.Lately, he has often made me think that he is conveying his feelings to

    Sarah's POVReally, everything happened so fast. This was beyond what he had said beforeLast night, Ethan talked to me about what kind of wedding I want, I want to invite everyone to come, and I want our wedding theme to be like this. He talked about a lot of things while showing me the wedding themes that he had prepared.The thing that surprised me was that she was so excited and prepared everything in the form of a presentation for a meeting. Because of her high level of seriousness and preparation, I got the feeling that we were discussing work.I told her it was whatever, and her face immediately turned dark. She didn't seem happy with the answer I gave. Then, after debating it, I came to understand that she wanted to make this an unforgettable moment for me. However, I, who had been married and failed before, was still a bit pessimistic about wedding preparations. I tried to understand it from her point of view, and I understood that this was her first time."Are you ready? I'v

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
