In my heart, I was grateful for his support so far. As he placed the bag on the table, I felt new hope.

Sabrina's POVNicholas came in with a glass of water. He placed it on my bedside table without saying anything, then walked to the other side of the bed. I frowned, confused by his actions. He stood for a moment, as if considering something. His gaze was soft, and I could feel genuine concern in his manner. The silence between us was comfortable, even though there was much left unsaid. Nicholas then nodded toward the glass of water. “Drink if you feel thirsty,” he said softly. I nodded, reaching for the glass and savoring the freshness of the water.

While the road ahead might not always be easy, I was confident that with determination and sincerity, we could get through it all. “Then you should be prepared,” I said finally, trying to tease to ease the tension. “I can be a pain in the ass, you know.” Nicholas laughed softly, his voice a music I hadn’t heard in a long time. “I knew that from the start, Sabrina.” The laughter lightened the mood, and I felt a weight lift from my heart.

Sabrina's POVThat morning, the atmosphere felt calm after I had a light breakfast. While sitting in the living room, I tried to enjoy the moment after a tiring night. Nicholas, my husband, was busy in the kitchen brewing coffee for himself. Just as I was about to check my messages on my phone, suddenly it rang. I looked at the number, and it turned out to be my mother-in-law's.I felt a bit tense; usually, when my mother-in-law calls, there’s something important she wants to discuss. Hesitantly, I answered the phone, waiting for her voice on the other end.I paused for a moment, my hand trembling as I held the phone. What could she want so early in the morning?

Sabrina's POVNicholas took a deep breath, trying to contain his emotions. "Hazel, it’s unfair to blame Sabrina. She just wants to help and support Charlie." Hazel didn’t budge, her face still filled with anger. "You don’t understand! Every time she’s around, I feel like I’m losing control of my life.

Sabrina's POV Yet, I held back my feelings, choosing to maintain a polite smile before finally turning to leave with Nicholas. As we walked out of the restaurant, I felt Nicholas's hand grip mine tightly, as if he could sense my unease. I turned to him, and he looked at me for a moment before saying, "Don’t think about him.

Sabrina's POV "Ah, you finally made it. Sabrina, Nicholas, this is my son, Adrian Harrington." Nicholas nodded politely, but I could feel my body tense. Adrian gave me a slight smile before sitting in the empty chair. His eyes bore into me, as if assessing something. His smile didn’t fully convey warmth, and I felt a tension between us. "So, you are Sabrina," he said quietly, his voice carrying something difficult to interpret. I merely nodded and offered a small smile, trying to keep the atmosphere positive. However, deep inside, I felt uncomfortable. There was something in Adrian's gaze that made me feel he knew more than he let on. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the outer layer I presented. I struggled not to let that anxious feeling take over, but the mysterious aura around him kept me on guard. My smile felt forced, and I tried to focus on the conversation at the table, even

I laughed at his enthusiasm. “Then let’s go before it gets too late.” We walked along the city streets, which were still quite busy.
