Sarah POVHeat flared in my cheeks as I scrambled to pull my skirt down, but his hand shot out, covering mine before I could.“What the hell happened to your thigh?” he asked, his voice laced with concern. He lifted the hem slightly, revealing the faint, discolored mark.“It’s nothing you should be worrying about,” I said curtly, snatching my skirt back into place.His jaw tightened. His eyes burned with an emotion I couldn’t quite decipher.“Did… Did it happen because of me?” His voice was hoarse now, almost fragile. “I mean… did I hurt you that night?”I froze. My throat felt dry, my hands clammy. My body screamed at me to look away, but I forced myself to meet his gaze.“Whatever happened to me shouldn’t be your concern, Parker. And for your information, this mark was not given by you that night when you ra—”“The night when I raped you,” he finished, his voice hollow. “The night I took you forcefully, without listening to you or your pleas.”I sucked in a sharp breath. This was th

Sarah P.O.VToday was the day when everything was finally going to be over. The suffering, the endless nights of discomfort, the suffocating weight of a marriage that had been nothing but a prison—it would all come to an end. A part of me had been waiting for this day for so long that it almost felt unreal. The Resort’s grand opening marked the final milestone of the project I had dedicated myself to for months. Once tonight was over, once the last guest had left, and the doors officially opened for business, I would be free—free from Adrian, free from this marriage, free to file for divorce and finally move on with my life.What the future held for me was still uncertain, and if I were being completely honest, that scared me more than I wanted to admit. But for now, my priority was my baby. My precious child, the one anchor in my life that kept me grounded amidst all the chaos. Everything I had endured, every sacrifice I had made, had been for my baby. And soon, I would be able to gi

Sarah POVAs I munched on my food, my thoughts drifted to tonight’s event. This was it. The final act. After tonight, I would be one step closer to reclaiming my life. I finished my meal quickly and headed upstairs to my room.The moment I stepped inside, my eyes fell on the three dresses laid out on my bed. Each one was elegant, perfect for an evening like this, but I needed to pick the one that best suited the occasion. I held up each dress in front of the mirror, scrutinizing my reflection carefully. After a few moments of indecision, I finally settled on the white mermaid gown. It was breathtaking—delicate black floral embroidery adorned the sparkling tulle fabric, creating an enchanting contrast. The lace material hugged my figure perfectly, accentuating my curves in all the right places. The low-cut back added a touch of allure, leaving just enough to the imagination.Satisfied with my choice, I set the dress aside and headed into the bathroom for a quick shower. As the warm wat

Sarah POVOnce I was inside the car, I texted Ester, informing her that I was on my way to the venue.After 25 minutes, I was still inside the moving car. The Resort was situated on the outskirts of New York, making it the perfect retreat—a serene and luxurious escape from the city’s chaos, yet still accessible.A few minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a grand gate. The entire property was bathed in a warm glow, with fairy lights draped over the trees and delicate floral arrangements lining the pathways. The sight was breathtaking.As the driver slowed to a stop at the entrance porch, I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. The enormity of the night hit me. The opening of The Resort signified more than just professional success; it marked the beginning of my freedom.Carefully, I stepped out of the car. The melody of soft classical music echoed in the background. I straightened my dress, ensuring the train was in place, and made my way towards the main entrance. The gua

Sarah POVWe shared a laugh before she hesitated, her tone turning serious. "Listen, before you get mad—I need to tell you something. Since Noah is here, he’s staying with me for the weekend."I tilted my head. "So, you won’t be staying in my suite?"She winced. "I will if you want me to, but… I figured sharing a room with Adrian might be difficult for you."I waved a dismissive hand. "Don’t worry about it. You and Noah deserve some time together. The suite has two separate bedrooms, so I’ll be fine.""Are you sure?" she asked, doubt evident in her voice. "You don’t have to pretend to be his wife anymore, Sarah. The project is done.""We can’t just drop this bomb right now, Ester," I muttered. "Not tonight."She sighed but didn’t argue further. Just then, Noah appeared behind her. "Ladies," he greeted, kissing Ester’s cheek. They looked adorable together."The Resort looks fantastic, Sarah," he said enthusiastically. "I can’t wait to explore more.""I’m glad you like it," I replied, n

Sarah POVAs I was almost done talking to dozens of people, I felt exhausted and thirsty. The constant mingling and keeping up appearances had drained me. Deciding I needed a break, I made my way to the bar and ordered a soft drink. As much as I would have loved to take a sip of something stronger to calm my nerves, I knew I couldn’t afford to get drunk here. Not only did I need to ensure that this entire event went smoothly, but my condition also forbade me from consuming alcohol.I swirled the ice in my glass absentmindedly while my eyes wandered around the grand hall. The orchestra had shifted to a softer, more sensual tune, and a few couples had already begun swaying on the dance floor. The lights had dimmed slightly, adding to the intimate ambiance of the evening. The sight of elegantly dressed guests twirling gracefully to the music was mesmerizing. For a moment, I allowed myself to admire the scene, momentarily forgetting the chaotic thoughts running through my mind.“May I hav

Sarah’s POVThe room blurred around me, fading into murmurs and whispers. For onlookers, the scene that had just unfolded might have appeared as an intimate display of affection between a husband and wife, a passionate moment under the dim glow of chandeliers. But in reality, it was far from that.I hated him.Every nerve in my body burned with the desire to slap Adrian across the face, to make him feel even a fraction of the anger and humiliation that boiled inside me. But I knew I couldn’t—not here, not in front of these people who thrived on gossip and scandal. I had already sacrificed too much for the sake of appearances, and I refused to give them more ammunition to tarnish my name.The pressure of his hands had finally lessened, just enough for me to tear myself from his grasp. My heart pounded against my ribs as I spun on my heel and stormed off the dance floor, my breaths shallow and uneven.As I moved, I caught sight of Ester out of the corner of my eye. Her expression was a m

Sarah POVSarah P.O.V"I see you have already sorted your broken marriage with your husband." A familiar deep voice sliced through the air, making my entire body tense.I froze in my spot, my breath hitching as the voice registered in my mind. Slowly, I lifted my eyes, and even in the dim lighting, I could make out the figure standing a few feet away from me. My heart clenched at the sight of the last person I expected to be here tonight."Alessandro..." I whispered, my voice barely audible over the muffled sounds of music and chatter echoing from the ballroom.Because of the low lighting in the hallway, I couldn’t see his expression clearly, but the rigid way he held himself told me everything I needed to know—he wasn’t in a good mood. His sharp jaw was clenched, his lips pressed into a tight line, and the usual warmth in his hazel eyes had been replaced by a cold, unforgiving glare.Why is he mad now?Did he see what happened on the dance floor?I took a hesitant step forward, the he

Sarah POVI gazed at my reflection in the mirror, wrapped in my robe, with Alessandro's text shining like a ray of hope in my hand."I understand we've had a rough patch. But if you can spare one night, I'd like to attempt to fix things.No expectations. Just you, me, and a little honesty. I’ll be waiting.”My heart ached. The sincerity in those words hit something raw inside me. I missed him, missed us. Missed the warmth of our mornings, the soft laughter that once filled our home. But pain changes things. Doubt makes strangers of the people you love most.Just then, there was a knock.“Come in,” I called, not looking up.I recognised the perfume before the door fully opened. Chanel No. 5. Chloe's signature. Of course.She stepped inside like a queen visiting a kingdom she meant to burn down.Silk robe fastened with precision, wine glass clutched like a villain in a sad drama. She always loved to put on a show."Going out tonight?" she inquired, her eyes sparkling as they darted to th

Alessandro’s POVIt had been ten days since we returned from the farmhouse. Ten days since everything unraveled.I sensed Sarah drifting further away from me, bit by bit, like sand slipping through an hourglass.She hadn’t raised her voice. She hadn’t lashed out. But her silence said more than any screaming match could. The way she avoided eye contact. The way her footsteps always trailed toward the guest room instead of ours. The way she smiled politely, but not warmly, when I handed her coffee in the mornings.I’d made a mistake. A big one.Not because of Mira, not entirely. That chapter of my life had been over years ago. And Mira’s accusations had never made sense to begin with. But I should’ve told Sarah everything the moment we got serious. I should’ve trusted her with my truth before someone like Adrian could twist it.God, Adrian.Even now, the thought of his smug face as he dropped that bomb still made my jaw clench. He’d timed it perfectly right when we were finding peace. W

Adrian’s POVThe city still felt cold, but the chill in my bones had shifted not from warmth, but from purpose. I finally had a plan.I sat at my desk, eyes fixed on Alessandro’s digital trail. His online presence lit up like a roadmap—threads of the past just waiting to be pulled. But I knew better now. Whispers and half-truths wouldn’t be enough. If I wanted to break them, I needed more than suspicion. I needed leverage. Misdirection.And I needed someone on the inside.That’s when it clicked.Chloe.Sarah’s perfect little world had always been cracked at the edges, and Chloe was one of those cracks. They were step-sisters in name, but anyone who spent five minutes with them knew there was no love lost. I remembered the subtle digs Chloe made at family dinners, the way Sarah would force a smile and pretend not to hear. But I heard them. I felt the tension.Chloe didn’t just dislike Sarah, she resented her.That kind of bitterness? It could be moulded. Turned into something useful.I

Sarah’s POV New York City’s noise had always been oddly comforting, the honking cabs, distant sirens, and hurried footsteps on pavement. But today, it felt too loud, too sharp, like it was echoing the storm still raging inside me. It had been a week since we’d returned from the farmhouse. Seven days of strained silences, clipped conversations, and the kind of emotional distance I never thought I’d feel between Alessandro and me. I still hadn’t fully processed everything. I had hardly gotten any sleep. Whenever I shut my eyes, I envisioned the expression on his face as I turned to leave.But how was I meant to simply act as if it never occurred? He had kept something huge from me. Not just about Mira, but about how little he must have trusted me—to think I couldn’t handle the truth, to let someone like Adrian be the one to reveal it. After everything we’d fought for, the secrets still found a way to wedge themselves between us. And it hurt. Today marked my return to the office aft

Alessandro’s POVI stood there, watching the woman I loved crumble in front of me, her eyes scanning that godforsaken document Adrian had handed her like it was a grenade. AAnd maybe it was due to my awareness of the explosion the moment her face shifted from confusion to disbelief to something that scared me more than any anger. Proximity. Although she was merely a few feet distant, it felt as if she stood across a canyon, unreachable. God, I wanted to fix it. But how do you fix something you didn’t even know was still broken?In the past, I thought I’d buried it. That nightmare with Mira... it had happened years ago, in a life that felt a million miles away from who I am now. I had been young, foolish, and too trusting. I never touched her. I never crossed any line. But when things ended, Mira spiralled. I tried to reason with her, but she twisted everything. She wanted revenge. And she got it in the worst way.I never expected it to follow me here, to this life. This future I’d bee

Sarah POVA few steps back, I noticed a captain whose face was completely devoid of colour. Words seemed to want to escape from his lips, but they were nowhere to be found.His still figure, rigid and motionless, also changed his hands into fists, which revealed the stress he was holding.This was simply too much to handle. My thoughts were fragmented, unable to reach a coherent conclusion. “Do tell me this isn’t the case,” I spoke in my flat voice. “Please tell me this is some unexpected blunder that someone made. That this… this woman is lying. Alessandro took a slow step toward me, but stopped when he saw me flinch not in fear, but in raw emotional recoil. That hurt in a way I couldn’t describe.The reflection of his features contorted with agony. "Sarah," a soft admission escaped as his throat felt like it was choked with raw feelings. “That's not the case.”We were close once, back in college. Yes, we dated for a few months, but when things didn’t work out, she didn’t take
Wedcuffed Chapter 221
Sarah’s POVThe paper trembled a little in my hands as if it knew what it held was too much for me to handle, and I stood motionless. My breath became trapped in my chest, in that agonising space where heartbreak and incredulity collide. I read it again, slower this time, praying I’d misunderstood. But every word sank deeper, each one a blow I hadn’t been ready for.Mira Solanki. Sexual harassment complaint. Alessandro’s name… tied to it.I looked up at him—the man I had let into every part of my life. My heart, my home, Gabriel’s world. The man who’d been my safe place after everything fell apart… was Alessandro. The person I trusted with my son, my recovery, and dreams I was hardly brave enough to share aloud.His gaze was directed towards the ground, pale, and his lips parted open like he was contemplating speech, but the words were not forthcoming. The tension was evident as he held up his arms and kept his fists in place, trying to conceal the strain. I couldn't take it in. Non

Sarah’s POV As I packed the last of Gabriel's small sweaters into his duffel bag, the late afternoon sun spilled gentle light into the room. I smiled as the fresh laundry's lavender scent clung to the fabric. He’d had such a beautiful time here. We all had. For the first time in weeks, things had felt… steady. Like the ground beneath my feet wasn’t constantly shifting. I glanced over my shoulder at Alessandro and Gabriel outside. Before we left the farmhouse, Alessandro had Gabriel sitting on his shoulders as they took a final stroll around the garden. The pure and contagious sound of Gabriel's laughter filled the air. A reminder that love wasn’t always about fireworks and chaos. Sometimes, it was about the way Alessandro always remembered how I took my coffee, or how he brushed Gabriel’s hair back before bed like it was second nature. It was safe. It was deep. Seeing them together made my heart feel full. It reminded me of the life I've always dreamed of—something genuine, cozy,
Wedcuffed Chapter 219
Adrian’s POVThe sun was slipping from the sky, casting a mellow light across the land; it felt like a reprieve. I stood in the hallway in my guest-sister’s room, peering through a silken curtain at them. Sarah, Alessandro and Gabriel had gone into the garden for a final evening together. To an outsider, it must have seemed like bliss – that scene of a perfect family.I couldn’t bear it.Alessandro was chasing Gabriel around the wildflower patch while he was laughing loudly and freely. He then effortlessly caught him again after swooping him into his arms and throwing him into the air. Gabriel's laughter reached me exactly where I was standing, resonating through the silence of the area. And then I saw it—the way Gabriel looked at Alessandro. Eyes wide with trust, with adoration. As if he were the safest place in the world.As if he were the father.Not me.A pain that was a mix of heartbreak, rage, and jealousy twisted sharply in my chest. I was descended from Gabriel. My son.
