Adrian POV

She can't know you're here for her.

"Where's Sarah?" I blurted out before I could stop myself. I saw Miss Caswell about to say something, but Noah interrupted.

"Oh, she went to the restroom a while ago."

I nodded and downed my drink, trying to calm the storm brewing inside me. The alcohol burned down my throat, but it did nothing to extinguish the jealousy igniting my veins. Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and felt a smile tug at my lips despite my foul mood.

"Hey, love. When are you coming home?" Jessica's sweet voice came through the line.

"Hey, sweetheart. I'm just at the club with Noah. I'll be home in an hour or two," I replied, raising my voice to be heard over the thumping bass.

"Alright, I'll be waiting. See you soon." She sounded content.

"Bye, love," I said before disconnecting the call. As I turned back, my eyes landed on a familiar figure on the dance floor.

Sarah.

My breath hitched as I saw her, dressed in a stunning blue dress that clung t

    Adrian POVIt was early morning, and the golden hues of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the bedroom. I stood by the wardrobe, adjusting my tie, my gaze drifting to Jessica. She lay sprawled across the bed, her golden hair tousled on the pillow, breathing softly in her peaceful sleep. I felt a pang of guilt mixed with affection. She looked so serene, completely unaware of the turmoil brewing within me.I leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. She stirred slightly but didnโ€™t wake. "I'll see you later, love," I whispered before straightening up and heading downstairs.The aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me as I stepped into the kitchen. Memories hit me unexpectedly memories of Sarah bustling around this very kitchen, her hair tied up messily, a faint smile on her lips as she prepared breakfast. No matter how strained things had been between us, she had never missed a morning meal. Her pancakes were unparalleled, and even now, my taste

    Adrian POVHalf an hour later, I pulled up in front of Sarah's house, killing the engine with a frustrated flick of my wrist. The morning sun bathed the quaint home in soft light, but my mood remained stormy. I strode up the stone pathway, each step fueled by simmering irritation.The bell echoed sharply as I pressed it, the sound cutting through the stillness. I folded my arms, tapping my foot impatiently as I waited. When the door finally creaked open, Sarah stood there, framed by the doorway.Damn. Even in the morning, with barely a touch of makeup and her hair in loose waves, she looked effortlessly stunning.Focus, Adrian. You're not here to admire her looks. You're here to confront her.Her brows lifted slightly in surprise, though she said nothing. That calm, composed demeanor she always wore made my frustration spike. Without waiting for her to invite me in, I brushed past her, the faint scent of jasmine trailing after her as I entered the house. My shoes thudded against the p

    Adrian POVShe looked down at the shirt, her expression carefully neutral. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, and that only made my thoughts spiral further. My mind raced, grasping at every possible explanation for why she was wearing it.Maybe she just likes wearing men's shirts.Or perhaps itโ€™s some new fashion trend Iโ€™m unaware of.But none of those possibilities made sense to me. Not with Sarah. Not with the past we shared.Her voice broke through my chaotic thoughts, soft yet firm, carrying an undertone of finality. "Adrian, just sign the papers and leave."There was a weariness in her words, almost as if she were pleading to avoid another conflict. For a fleeting moment, I considered doing just that signing the damn papers, walking away, and freeing both of us from this endless tug-of-war.It shouldn't matter to me anymore. Her personal life was no longer my concern.I picked up the pen, ready to scrawl my signature and be done with it when I caught movement from the corner

    Adrian POV"She's still my wife. Not his. I have a right to her."The thought gnawed at me, relentless and savage. Behind that closed door, anything could be happening. The image of Sarah willingly choosing him, letting him into the spaces that were once mine, made my blood boil. My fists clenched at my sides as jealousy twisted into a dark, bitter knot in my chest.But I reminded myself of the cold, inescapable truth โ€” she wasn't my concern anymore. I had signed the divorce papers. Soon enough, in a matter of months, I would be free to build a life with Jessica and our child.I repeated this fact in my head like a desperate mantra, trying to dull the ache that gnawed at my pride. Sarah's choices shouldn't matter to me anymore. They wouldn't.Taking a steadying breath, I straightened my clothes and forced my emotions back into their cage. With every ounce of strength I had left, I turned on my heel, pushed aside the searing pain, and walked out of her house without looking back. As I

    Adrian P.O.V.It had been an hour since Baldwin left my office, but I was still staring at the evidence laid out before me. The documents seemed to mock my foolishness, each detail a bitter reminder of how far I had let my doubts and ego drive me.A wave of guilt hit me hard, knocking the air out of my lungs as I thought about all the terrible things I had done to her.What have I done to her?I punished Sarah for things she never did.She had pleaded with me, insisted on her innocence time and time again, but I hadn't listened. I had been blinded by jealousy and my insecurities. Instead of protecting her, I had been the one to cause her the most pain.My chest tightened as I recalled the way I had ignored her tears, dismissed her desperate cries for understanding, and, worst of all, forced myself into her life in ways that were beyond unforgivable. I clenched my fists, the memory of my cruelty making my skin crawl.I pulled at my hair in frustration, the weight of my actions pressing

    Adrian POV"Stop lying, Jessica. I heard everything. Tell me the truth why did you fake your pregnancy?" I demanded, my voice trembling with fury.Jessica's face turned pale, but she quickly tried to regain composure. "I... I only faked it so you'd come back to me and divorce Sarah," she stammered tensely, her voice faltering.The confession hit me like a punch to the gut. My fists clenched, and I struggled to keep my composure. "What about the lies about Sarah's affair? The stories you fed me? I know the truth now, Jessica. I know you've been lying for years, so don't give me this bullshit."Her eyes darted around nervously, searching for an escape, but there was none. "Adrian, I did it for us," she insisted, desperation creeping into her voice. "You don't know how cunning Sarah is. She always tries to take what's mineโ€”"I cut her off sharply. "Enough, Jessica. Stop twisting the truth. My mind is finally piecing it all together. It was you who had issues with Sarah, not the other way

    Adrian POVAfter everything Iโ€™ve done, I donโ€™t know how to face her. Iโ€™ve spent months destroying her dignity and soul. I didnโ€™t even hesitate to take her virginity, a moment that should have been sacred and filled with love, not selfishness and control.I was supposed to protect and love her, but instead, I shattered her trust and heart by blindly trusting Jessicaโ€™s lies.Guilt gnawed at me with every passing second as I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. The memories of Sarahโ€™s tear-streaked face and broken voice haunted me. I had wronged her in ways that words alone could never mend.I wish I could go back in time and start over, cherishing my marriage with Sarah, appreciating her kindness and resilience. She had been my guiding light, but I had extinguished that flame with my own hands.I just hope itโ€™s not too late. I hope she gives me another chanceโ€”a chance to prove I can be the man she deserves.Fifteen minutes later, I parked outside Amario Enterprises, my

    Sarah P.O.VAfter the chaotic morning with Adrian and Alessandro, I decided I needed a breakโ€”a day away from the office to collect my thoughts. But as I paced around my apartment, the weight of unfinished work loomed over me. Reluctantly, I changed my mind and headed to the office.It was nearly 11 a.m. when I arrived, the morning sun already high in the sky, casting sharp shadows across the glass faรงade of the building. The familiar hum of office life greeted me as I walked towards my cabin. Employees buzzed around, tapping away at keyboards and exchanging hushed conversations. My eyes landed on Ester, seated at her desk, her brow furrowed in concentration as she stared at her laptop screen.I approached her, crossing my arms over my chest. โ€œWhere were you last night? I was worried about you, Ester.โ€ My tone was a mixture of concern and mild exasperation.Ester looked up, her expression shifting to one of amusement. โ€œWell, it should be me asking you that, Cinderella. Where did you di

    Sarah POVAlessandroโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 mindโ€”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.โ€œMe too,โ€ I whispered back. โ€œIโ€™m so glad weโ€™ve been able to work through everything. Iโ€™m committed to us, Alessandro. I want you to know that.โ€His hold on me tightened slightly, and he pressed a lingering kiss to the top of my head.โ€œI know,โ€ he said. โ€œAnd Iโ€™m committed to us too. Whatever comes our way, weโ€™ll face it together.โ€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 couldnโ€™t ignore the lingering weight of Adrianโ€™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

  • Wedcuffedย ย ย 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 wasnโ€™t ready to let go, that much was obvious. But I had already made my decision.I wasnโ€™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 Adrianโ€™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 hadnโ€™t realized I needed. But there was still one more thing I had to say, a truth that needed to be voiced.โ€œI wanted to let you know that I spoke to Adrian,โ€ I admitted, watching his face carefully. โ€œI told him we needed some space. I want you to know that youโ€™re my priority, and I wonโ€™t let anything or anyone come between us.โ€For a moment, Alessandro didnโ€™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. โ€œThank you for that, Sarah. I appreciate it. Iโ€™ve been worried about how much heโ€™s been around, but I didnโ€™t want to pressure you.โ€I gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. โ€œI understand,โ€ I murmured. โ€œBut you donโ€™t need to worry. Iโ€™m committed to making this work. Weโ€™ve come too far to let anything get in the way now.โ€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 pastโ€”of Adrianโ€™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 didnโ€™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 thereโ€™s an unmistakable edge to it. โ€œWeโ€™ve been trying to focus on our relationship and work through things together. I appreciate your concern, but I think itโ€™s important for us to handle this on our own.โ€Adrianโ€™s gaze flicks to Alessandro, and for a moment, the air crackles with unspoken tension. Then he looks back at me. โ€œI get it. I just didnโ€™t realize how deep things were between you two. I guess Iโ€™m still trying to understand where I fit into all of this.โ€A pang of something guilt, frustration, maybe both presses against my ribs. I take a deep breath, steadying myself. โ€œAdrian, you have to understand that Iโ€™m trying to rebuild my relationship with Alessandro. Iโ€™ve made it clear that I need to focus on that, and your presence here complicates things.โ€For the first time since he arrived, something in Adrianโ€™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 Alessandroโ€™s eyes on me, his concern pressing against my skin like a silent question. He doesnโ€™t have to say anythingโ€”I already know heโ€™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 nodโ€”silent suppo

The scent of sizzling butter and warm spices fills the air, mingling with the quiet hum of our laughter. Itโ€™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.โ€œYouโ€™re distracted,โ€ he murmured, his voice laced with amusement.I smirk, shaking my head. โ€œYou wish.โ€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 thereโ€™s something deeper in the way he looks at me.โ€œSarah,โ€ he says, his voice dropping into a w

    Sarah POVThe kitchen is bathed in warm morning light as I start gathering ingredients. I pull my hair up into a loose bun and tie Alessandroโ€™s oversized hoodie around my waist, enjoying the familiar scent of him clinging to the fabric. The smell of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, and I hum softly as I chop vegetables and whisk eggs. Thereโ€™s something so soothing about the simplicity of this momentโ€”about the act of creating something with my own hands for someone I care about.I heat up the pan and begin making the pancakes, savoring the familiar rhythm of cooking. The sizzle of batter hitting the hot skillet and the rich aroma of butter melting fill the room, making my stomach grumble in anticipation. Iโ€™m plating the first batch when I hear Alessandroโ€™s footsteps approaching from down the hall.He walks into the kitchen, his hair tousled from sleep, the sleeves of his t-shirt pushed up haphazardly. A sleepy smile graces his lips as he rubs at his eyes. "Good morning," he says, h
