Wedcuffed Chapter 144
Adrian POVI closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to silence the torment in my mind. But the silence of my apartment only amplified my thoughts. Every corner of this place felt suffocating, a prison of my own making. Once, it had been filled with laughter and warmth. Now, it was a hollow space, echoing with the consequences of my actions.I shook my head, forcing myself to stand. I refused to let the past define me. Those were the actions of a man I no longer wanted to be. The guilt and shame were painful, but they served as a reminder—change was necessary. It wasn’t going to be easy, and there would be moments where I'd be tempted to fall back into old patterns, but I had to stay strong. I owed it to Sarah, to my child, and most of all, to myself.As I lay in bed that night, I reflected on the day. It was the beginning of a long journey, but for the first time in a long while, I felt hopeful. I knew I had a lot to make up for, but I was ready to put in the work. For Sarah, f

Adrian POVOne evening, as I was preparing dinner, the aroma of sautéed garlic and onions filled my small apartment. The rhythmic chopping of vegetables on the cutting board was the only sound until my phone buzzed on the counter. Wiping my hands on a kitchen towel, I picked it up, my heart skipping a beat when I saw Sarah’s name on the screen.Thank you for the suggestions. Would you like to come for my doctor’s visit this weekend for the ultrasound?I read the message twice, the weight of her words settling deep in my chest. An invitation. A chance to be there. It was a moment I had desperately longed for but feared I might never get. Attending the ultrasound meant stepping into a responsibility I had struggled to fully grasp before, but I knew—I couldn't afford to mess this up.That weekend, the hospital was busier than I had expected. The scent of antiseptic and the hushed conversations of people in the waiting area made my stomach churn with nervous anticipation. My hands felt cla

Adrian POVOver the next few weeks, I immersed myself in work, peeling back the layers of my past and confronting the demons that had led me down such a destructive path. Dr. Evans helped me navigate through the guilt and shame, encouraging me to understand the roots of my behavior."Adrian," she said during one session, "acknowledging your mistakes is an important step. But true redemption comes from consistent actions and genuine change."Her words stayed with me. I couldn't undo the past, but I could shape the future. Each day, I woke up with a renewed sense of purpose. I continued my morning runs, the rhythmic pounding of my feet on the pavement a form of meditation, clearing my mind and strengthening my resolve.I also started working on new projects that our company had signed, focusing primarily on the new architecture plans. These projects required a blend of creativity, precision, and forward-thinking—qualities I was eager to channel into something constructive. It was an opp

Adrian POVShe looked at me, her eyes searching mine. "I appreciate that, Adrian. It's going to take time, but I'm willing to try. We both need to do what's best for our baby."I nodded, feeling a flicker of hope. "I understand. Thank you for giving me this chance."When Alessandro returned, the class resumed, and I did my best to stay focused. As the session ended, I felt a sense of accomplishment. We had taken another small step forward, and despite my jealousy, I was determined to keep moving in the right direction.That night, as I lay in bed, I reflected on the day. It was a reminder of the challenges ahead but also of the progress we were making. I knew I had to keep working on myself, to confront my insecurities and continue proving that I was capable of change.The next few weeks followed a similar pattern. I balanced work, therapy, and my efforts to rebuild my relationship with Sarah. Each day presented new challenges but also new opportunities for growth. My jealousy of Ales

Adrian POVThe following weeks were a mix of highs and lows. I continued to be involved in Sarah's pregnancy, attending appointments and helping with preparations for the baby's arrival. Each moment spent with her was a bittersweet reminder of what we once had and what we were trying to rebuild. But each time I saw Alessandro with Sarah, the jealousy flared up, burning through my resolve. I fought to keep it in check, reminding myself that my focus should be on Sarah and our child, not my insecurities.One evening, Sarah invited me over for dinner to discuss some final details about the custody arrangement. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door, preparing myself for whatever emotions the night might bring. As I stepped inside, the warm aroma of home-cooked food filled the air. Alessandro was already in the kitchen, helping Sarah set the table, his movements graceful and natural. He moved with an ease that made it clear he belonged there, and for a brief moment, I felt like

Sarah POVA Few Months LaterThe soft hues of dawn painted the sky in delicate shades of pink and orange as I stretched in bed, my body heavy with exhaustion. I hadn't slept well; the baby had been restless, kicking and shifting through the night. I placed a hand on my swollen belly, feeling the little movements beneath my palm. A soft smile tugged at my lips despite my fatigue. The due date was just around the corner, and the anticipation of meeting our child filled me with both excitement and nerves.I carefully maneuvered out of bed, wincing slightly as a dull ache spread through my lower back. The weight of pregnancy had made even the simplest of tasks a challenge, but I was grateful for every moment. As I shuffled into the kitchen, the rich aroma of coffee lingered in the air—a trace of Alessandro’s morning routine. He had already left for work, but a small note on the counter caught my eye.Can’t wait to meet our little one. Take it easy today. Love - A.I ran my fingers over the

Sarah POVI exhaled in relief, appreciating his urgency. Even with our complicated past, he never hesitated when it came to our child.Grabbing my hospital bag—packed weeks ago in preparation for this very moment—I carefully made my way to the front door, pausing as another contraction ripped through me. I sucked in a sharp breath, gripping the doorframe for support. The contractions were coming fast now, growing stronger each time.I managed to call a cab and waited on the front porch, my hands pressed to my belly as I focused on my breathing. Each passing second felt like an eternity. The anticipation and pain mingled, creating a haze of anxiety and excitement. When the car finally pulled up, I climbed in, gripping the seat as I braced for the next wave of pain.The drive to the hospital was agonizing. Every bump in the road sent sharp jolts through my body, and I bit my lip, forcing myself to stay calm. The driver glanced at me nervously but remained silent, clearly not wanting to

Sarah POVI grabbed my hospital bag, which had been packed and ready for weeks, and made my way to the front door. The contractions were coming more frequently now, each one stronger than the last. I called for a cab and waited anxiously on the front porch, trying to focus on my breathing. My hands trembled slightly as I clutched my belly, whispering reassurances to the tiny life inside me.The cab ride to the hospital felt like an eternity. Each bump in the road sent a jolt of pain through my body, and I clutched the seat, willing myself to stay calm. The driver kept glancing at me nervously in the rearview mirror, but I barely noticed. I squeezed my eyes shut, inhaling and exhaling in a desperate attempt to control the pain. Finally, we arrived at the hospital. A kind nurse rushed to my side, helping me out of the cab and into a wheelchair before quickly whisking me away to the maternity ward.As I was wheeled into the delivery room, I heard familiar voices. Alessandro arrived, out

Sarah POVI knew that if I wanted to truly move forward with Alessandro, I had to draw a line—one that Adrian couldn’t cross.Taking a deep breath, I typed out a message.Message to Adrian:Adrian, I need to be clear with you. I've chosen to be with Alessandro, and that means we need to set boundaries. I care about you as you are involved with my son, but I can't have you interfering in my relationship.Please respect that.My thumb hovered over the send button. A part of me feared how he would react—if he would lash out, try to manipulate me, or make me doubt my decision. But another part of me felt a quiet sense of relief. This was necessary. This was the right thing to do.I hit send.Seconds felt like hours as I waited, my stomach twisting in knots. I half-expected him to ignore the message or respond with something cryptic, something that would make me second-guess everything.But his response came quicker than I anticipated.Message from Adrian:I understand, Sarah.

Sarah POVAlessandro’s gaze lingered on me, his deep brown eyes searching mine for any sign of hesitation. I could feel the weight of his emotions pressing between us uncertainty, longing, fear. His jaw was tense, as if he was holding back words he wasn’t sure he was ready to say."Alessandro, you're right to ask," I said, my voice steady, though my heart was pounding. "I don't care about Adrian, I care about you. What happened to him... it was a moment of confusion, a mistake. I've realized that my heart has always been with you. That's why I told him we needed distance. I want you to know that you're the only one I want to be with."He exhaled slowly, crossing his arms over his chest, his posture still guarded. I could almost see the battle playing out in his mind—the part of him that wanted to believe me and the part that still held onto the pain of the past."And Adrian?" he asked finally, his voice softer now but firm. "What happens if he doesn't stay away?"I shook my head, step

Sarah POVA lump formed in my throat at the tenderness in his tone. I rested my head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.“Me too,” I whispered back. “I’m so glad we’ve been able to work through everything. I’m committed to us, Alessandro. I want you to know that.”His hold on me tightened slightly, and he pressed a lingering kiss to the top of my head.“I know,” he said. “And I’m committed to us too. Whatever comes our way, we’ll face it together.”As exhaustion pulled me into sleep, I felt a rare sense of peace settle over me. The doubts that had once gnawed at the edges of my mind were beginning to fade, replaced by the quiet certainty that Alessandro and I were on the right path.But even as I embraced that sense of calm, a small part of me couldn’t ignore the lingering weight of Adrian’s last message. His words echoed in my thoughts more often than I wanted to admit. There was something unresolved there, something that refused to fade into the backg
Wedcuffed Chapter 204
Sarah POVHis words carried an unmistakable edge of jealousy, laced with something deeper frustration, maybe even desperation. I could hear it in the way Adrian spoke, the way he hesitated just a fraction of a second before choosing his words. He wasn’t ready to let go, that much was obvious. But I had already made my decision.I wasn’t going to let the past interfere with the fragile, beautiful thing Alessandro and I were rebuilding.Instead of answering Adrian right away, I chose to ignore the message, setting my phone aside with a steadying breath. The temptation to respond, to offer him some kind of closure, gnawed at me, but I resisted. The best thing I could do for myself for my relationship was to keep my distance. Even if it hurt.So I threw myself into work that day, immersing myself in tasks, focusing on anything that kept my mind from drifting back to Adrian’s lingering words. But even as I busied myself with emails and meetings, I felt the weight of the unresolved tension

Sarah POVHis words settled deep within me, reassuring me in a way I hadn’t realized I needed. But there was still one more thing I had to say, a truth that needed to be voiced.“I wanted to let you know that I spoke to Adrian,” I admitted, watching his face carefully. “I told him we needed some space. I want you to know that you’re my priority, and I won’t let anything or anyone come between us.”For a moment, Alessandro didn’t say anything. His expression was unreadable, but then his shoulders dropped slightly, and he exhaled a breath he had probably been holding for too long. When he finally spoke, his voice was steady, appreciative. “Thank you for that, Sarah. I appreciate it. I’ve been worried about how much he’s been around, but I didn’t want to pressure you.”I gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. “I understand,” I murmured. “But you don’t need to worry. I’m committed to making this work. We’ve come too far to let anything get in the way now.”His thumb brushed over my knuckles,

Sarah POVSarah's POVAs the days passed after Adrian's unexpected visit, the tension between Alessandro and me began to ease. We had successfully navigated a difficult moment, but I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that Adrian's presence was still a looming threat to our relationship. Even when things felt light and easy between Alessandro and me, a small, anxious voice in the back of my mind kept whispering reminders of the past—of Adrian’s influence, of the confusion he stirred within me. I knew I had to confront the situation head-on, not just for Alessandro's sake, but for my own peace of mind.It was a bright, clear afternoon when I finally decided to send a message to Adrian. The sun streamed in through the curtains, casting golden patterns on the floor, but despite the warmth of the day, I felt an unmistakable chill settle in my bones. The words didn’t come easily, but I knew they were necessary.Message to Adrian:Hi Adrian, I think we must maintain some distance for a whil

Sarah POVBeside me, Alessandro shifts. His voice is calm, firm, but there’s an unmistakable edge to it. “We’ve been trying to focus on our relationship and work through things together. I appreciate your concern, but I think it’s important for us to handle this on our own.”Adrian’s gaze flicks to Alessandro, and for a moment, the air crackles with unspoken tension. Then he looks back at me. “I get it. I just didn’t realize how deep things were between you two. I guess I’m still trying to understand where I fit into all of this.”A pang of something guilt, frustration, maybe both presses against my ribs. I take a deep breath, steadying myself. “Adrian, you have to understand that I’m trying to rebuild my relationship with Alessandro. I’ve made it clear that I need to focus on that, and your presence here complicates things.”For the first time since he arrived, something in Adrian’s expression shifts. His shoulders relax just slightly, and some of the steeliness in his eyes fades. Th

Sarah POVThe tension in the kitchen is thick enough to cut with a knife. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the rich aroma of butter sizzling in the pan, but none of it is enough to mask the growing unease settling over the room. Adrian takes a seat at the table without waiting for an invitation, his movements deliberate yet casual, as if trying to stake a claim on the moment. I sense Alessandro’s eyes on me, his concern pressing against my skin like a silent question. He doesn’t have to say anything—I already know he’s on high alert.I try to steady my nerves, pushing down the wave of anxiety clawing its way up my chest. This unexpected visit could be nothing more than an awkward inconvenience, a minor speed bump on the road Alessandro and I are rebuilding. Or it could be the kind of turning point that shifts the entire course of our relationship.I glance at Alessandro, searching for reassurance in the warm depths of his gaze. He gives me a small, firm nod—silent suppo

Sarah POVWe move in perfect harmony in the kitchen, our bodies falling into an effortless rhythm as we prepare breakfast together. The scent of sizzling butter and warm spices fills the air, mingling with the quiet hum of our laughter. It’s easy, natural like slipping into a well-worn routine.Alessandro reaches for the same cutting board as I do, his fingers grazing mine. The brief contact sends a spark through me, and I glance up at him, my breath hitching slightly. He notices. His lips curl into a knowing smile, and for a moment, the rest of the world fades away.“You’re distracted,” he murmured, his voice laced with amusement.I smirk, shaking my head. “You wish.”His laugh is low and warm, wrapping around me like a comforting embrace. As the food on the stove begins to sizzle, Alessandro gently nudges me with his hip, pulling me closer to him. His touch is light, almost teasing, but there’s something deeper in the way he looks at me.“Sarah,” he says, his voice dropping into a w
