Wedcuffed Chapter 155
Adrian POVSarah hesitated for a moment before nodding, her fingers tightening slightly around the fabric of the hospital blanket draped over her lap. There was something unreadable in her expression—uncertainty, perhaps, or maybe just the weight of the moment settling heavily between us. I held my breath as Alessandro, ever steady and composed, shifted the baby carefully in his arms and stepped forward.He met my gaze, his own filled with something I couldn’t quite place. Not resentment, not triumph—just a quiet understanding that, despite everything, we were both here for the same reason. Without a word, he handed me the baby, his movements careful, as though passing over something fragile, something sacred.As the small, warm weight settled into my arms, I inhaled sharply. My heart pounded, and for a brief, terrifying moment, I feared I might not be able to hold on, that my shaking hands would betray me. But then, tiny fingers curled instinctively around mine, a soft, barely-there

Alessandro POVThe hospital room was a haven of new beginnings, bathed in the warm, golden light of the setting sun. The air was filled with the soft hum of monitors and the occasional distant murmur of voices from the hallway. Yet, within these four walls, the world felt small, intimate, as though nothing outside of this moment mattered.I held our newborn son, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his tiny chest, the warmth of his fragile body nestled against me. His delicate fingers twitched every now and then as if grasping at dreams too small for us to understand. The sheer weight of him, despite his size, pressed against my heart, filling me with a love so overwhelming it left me breathless. This little life, so new yet already so full of meaning, had changed everything.Sarah sat nearby, her arms resting on the hospital bed’s railing, her eyes never leaving us. A soft smile played on her lips, but beyond that, I could see the exhaustion in her posture, the quiet battle of emotion

Alessandro POVThe baby stirred, his tiny fingers curling instinctively around Adrian’s thumb. It was such a small gesture, so insignificant to the rest of the world, but to Adrian, it was everything. His lips parted, a shaky exhale escaping as emotion welled up in his eyes. He held the baby close, his fingers brushing over the soft curve of his son’s cheek, reverence and disbelief written all over his face.“I’m sorry, Sarah,” Adrian whispered, his voice thick with regret. “For everything. I know I’ve let you down, and I don’t expect things to be the same. But I want to be here for him, for both of you, in whatever way I can.”Sarah inhaled sharply, her hand hovering just above the baby’s head before gently brushing against his fine hair. Her lips trembled, and she blinked back the moisture in her eyes before giving a small nod. “Thank you, Adrian. That means a lot. We’re going to need all the support we can get.”Her words resonated deep within me. This wasn’t just about past mistak

Sarah POVThe morning light streamed gently through the hospital room window, casting a soft golden hue over the crisp white sheets and the muted tones of the walls. The air was thick with the faint scent of antiseptic, mingling with the fresh flowers that sat on the bedside table a thoughtful gift from Alessandro’s sister. The world outside bustled with life, but within these four walls, time felt as though it had slowed, allowing me to soak in this precious moment.I sat on the edge of the hospital bed, cradling our newborn son in my arms, his tiny body swaddled snugly in a soft blue blanket. His delicate fingers curled into little fists, his face serene, lips slightly parted as he slept. My heart swelled with an emotion so profound, so overwhelming, that I found myself holding my breath just to savor it a little longer. The exhaustion from labor still clung to me, a dull ache in my bones, but it was overshadowed by the sheer wonder of this little life I had brought into the world.

Sarah POVI glanced down at the tiny face nestled against me, studying the delicate curve of his nose, the faint wisp of dark hair on his head. He was perfect. And he deserved a name that carried strength, that held meaning, that reflected the journey that had led us here.“I’ve been thinking about names that carry a sense of hope,” I said quietly, shifting slightly to cradle him closer. “Names that symbolize a new beginning, something that feels right for this moment and everything we’ve been through.”Alessandro nodded, his hand coming to rest gently on my shoulder. “That sounds perfect,” he murmured. “Do you have any in mind?”I hesitated, the names swirling in my mind like whispers in the wind. Finally, I gathered the courage to speak them aloud. “What do you think of Gabriel?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “It means ‘God is my strength.’ It feels fitting, considering everything we’ve been through.”Alessandro’s expression softened, and he exhaled slowly, as if letting

Sarah POVAlessandro's expression softened as he listened, and I could see he was taking each name to heart. His gaze lingered on our son, his fingers tracing absent-minded circles on the bedsheet as he considered the names."Both are beautiful names, Sarah. Gabriel has a certain strength to it, and Luca... it feels like a beacon, something that shines through the darkness. I like them both."I smiled, feeling a bit more certain now. "I've always loved the name Gabriel. It's strong, but also gentle. And Luca... there's something about it that just feels right. Like it's a name that could carry him through anything."Alessandro leaned closer, gently brushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear. His touch was warm, reassuring. "Gabriel Luca," he said softly, testing the sound of the names together. "It has a good ring to it, don't you think?"Hearing the names together sent a warm feeling through me, a sense of peace that settled any lingering doubts. "Gabriel Luca," I repeated, letting

Sarah POVI leaned into Alessandro, feeling the warmth of his embrace as he wrapped his arm around me. The road ahead was still full of unknowns, but for now, we had this moment, this new beginning. And it was enough.As I looked at our son, I knew that we had chosen the right name. Gabriel Luca would grow up surrounded by love, by the strength of his family, and by the light that his name carried. He would know the complexities of our lives, and the challenges we had faced, but he would also know the power of love, resilience, and new beginnings.With Alessandro by my side and Gabriel Luca in my arms, I felt a deep sense of contentment. We were embarking on a new journey, one that wouldn't be easy, but one that was filled with the promise of hope, love, and light. Together, we would build a future that was worthy of the name we had chosen a future filled with strength and grace, just like our son.Just as I settled back into the embrace of the moment, the door to the hospital room cr

Sarah POVI glanced at Alessandro, who gave me an encouraging smile, his fingers brushing against my hand in silent support. Then I turned my gaze back to Adrian, aware that this was a moment where we all needed to find common ground, no matter how complicated things had become between us. There was a fragile stillness in the air, an unspoken acknowledgment of everything that had led us to this point."We were thinking Gabriel Luca," I said softly, watching Adrian’s reaction closely. "It’s a name that feels right for him, for everything we've been through."Adrian's expression shifted, the tension in his posture easing slightly. He repeated the name, almost testing it on his tongue. "Gabriel Luca," he murmured, his gaze settling on the tiny face nestled in my arms. "It's a strong name. It suits him."There was a moment of silence, a weight between us that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The past, the choices we had made, the wounds that hadn’t fully healed everything lingered just b

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
