Adrian's P.O.V

I was so excited to tell her that I wanted this child.

I hurriedly finished up my work in LA within a week, wrapping up meetings, signing documents, and making final calls to ensure everything was handled in my absence. The moment I was done, I booked the earliest flight back to New York, my heart racing with anticipation. I couldn’t wait to see Sarah, to tell her that I was ready, that I wanted this baby, that I wanted us to try again.

But all my hopes were crushed the moment I arrived and saw my wife in someone else's arms. My feet felt like they had been nailed to the ground, my breath caught in my throat as I watched her kiss another man.

And just like that, the tiny shred of hope I had been holding onto was shattered.

She had moved on.

She had replaced me.

The realization hit me like a freight train, sucking the air from my lungs.

I guess he was the reason she no longer wanted to work on our marriage. Or maybe she didn’t want me in her life even if he wasn’t there.

    Adrian's P.O.V"Well, I saw how tense you were, I just wanted to be there for you," Chloe whispered, her voice sultry as she moved closer to me.Her breasts pressed against my torso, her touch lingering far longer than necessary. A slow smirk played on her lips as she placed her manicured fingers around my member, her eyes dark with mischief.Before I could react, before I could push her away, she pulled the seat back and adjusted herself between my legs, her fingers deft and determined.Without wasting another moment, she freed me from my pants and took me into her mouth.For a split second, I didn't move. I didn't stop her.Maybe I was too exhausted.Maybe I was too consumed by my own torment to push her away.Or maybe, deep down, I just wanted something—anything—to take away the overwhelming storm of emotions raging inside me."I'm sure this can make you feel a lot better, Adrian," Chloe murmured against me before continuing, her lips and tongue working with practised ease.But my

    Adrian’s POVBrrrrrringggg…Brrrrrringgggg…The relentless ringing of my phone shattered the silence, piercing through my sleep like an alarm screeching in my ears. My body felt heavy, weighed down by exhaustion, but the urgent sound forced me to move. Groaning, I reached out blindly, fumbling for my phone on the nightstand. My fingers finally grasped the device, but by the time I lifted it to my ear, the call had already ended.With a frustrated sigh, I sat up, immediately regretting the sudden movement. A splitting headache slammed into me, a dull, pounding ache that felt like someone hammering inside my skull. I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pain, but it only intensified. I squeezed my eyes shut for a moment before forcing myself to focus on my phone’s screen.As soon as I saw the notifications, my heart dropped.30 missed calls from Noah.20 missed calls from Dad.7 missed calls from Jessica.What the actual hell?A sinking feeling spread through my chest as I quickly dial

    Adrian P.O.VI parked my car outside Amario Enterprises, gripping the steering wheel tightly as I took a deep breath. My heart pounded against my chest, and my mind was clouded with emotions. Today wasn’t just about clearing my name—it was about seeing Sarah. I owed her an explanation, and most importantly, I owed her an apology for last night.I shouldn't have reacted that way when I saw her with another man.I was the one who pushed her away. I was the one who shattered her trust.If she wanted to move on, I had no right to stop her.Sighing, I pushed the door open and stepped out of the car, straightening my suit jacket before walking toward the entrance. The moment I entered the building, I felt the weight of dozens of eyes on me. The murmur of whispers buzzed through the lobby, followed by disdainful glances in my direction.Great. Now everyone knows.Of course, they do, Adrian. It’s all over the goddamn news.I ignored the judgmental stares and strode toward the elevator, keepin

    Adrian POVI took a deep breath, stepping closer to her desk, feeling the tension tighten around us like an invisible rope. “Sarah, that news about me and Chloe—it’s not true. There’s nothing going on between us. I was drunk last night when she approached me. I swear I—”“You don’t have to explain,” she interrupted me, her voice calm yet piercing.I frowned slightly. “What?”She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed as she studied me. “I already know what happened between you two.”A wave of confusion washed over me. “You… do?”Nodding, she stood up, moving toward the floor-to-ceiling window behind her desk. “Since I took over all the authority of Amario Enterprises, Chloe’s father and his family have been struggling financially. As soon as the news broke out, I knew Chloe had something to do with it.”My brows furrowed. “What are you saying?”“Chloe needed money, Adrian.” She turned to face me, her gaze sharp. “And she figured that getting involved with you would benefit her. That’s

    Sarah's P.O.VIt's been a few days since that scandal was finally settled. Surprisingly, Adrian has been behaving differently nicer, even. He no longer brings up the past, nor does he ask me to give him another chance. There are no more tantrums, no more arguments. Just silence. A silence that, for now, I am grateful for.When I saw the headlines that morning, I had my doubts about the entire situation. Something didn't sit right with me, so I did some digging. A background check revealed the truth it had all been a trap, orchestrated by Chloe and Lisa to blackmail Adrian. I should have known. When I confronted Chloe, she didn’t even hesitate before demanding money in exchange for telling the truth in front of the media.I wasn’t surprised.But what unsettled me the most was my own reaction. Why did I defend Adrian? It was the perfect opportunity to expose him, to humiliate him in front of the entire world. I could have ended everything and announced our divorce once and for all. And

    Sarah’s POVEster’s words lingered in my mind like an unshakable echo."He wanted to keep this hidden, Sarah. We all just want to finish the project so you can finally get out of that marriage with that jerk," she had said firmly, her voice laced with conviction.Her words only added to my growing confusion about Alessandro.On one hand, he had been acting as though I didn’t exist, his cold indifference cutting through me like a knife. On the other, he was helping me behind my back, making sure I had a way out of this unwanted marriage. It didn’t make sense. Why go to such lengths in silence? Why distance himself so much while secretly ensuring my freedom?Was it guilt? Obligation? Or something else entirely?Shoving my emotions aside, I took a deep breath and responded in a steady tone. "We need to inform the Parkers about the project's completion. Once that’s done, we can discuss a date for the resort’s opening."I masked my emotions in front of Ester, unwilling to drag her into my

    Sarah POVI gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles turning white as I sped down the road. My heart pounded erratically, the image of Alessandro kissing that woman burned into my mind like a scar I’d never be able to erase. My hand throbbed from the broken glass, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the storm raging inside me.Ester sat silently in the passenger seat, her worried eyes flickering toward me every few seconds. The air in the car was heavy with unspoken words, but I wasn’t ready to speak. If I opened my mouth now, I might break.I blinked rapidly, willing away the tears threatening to spill. I had cried enough for men in my lifetime.I had been foolish.I should have known better.The car came to an abrupt halt as I pulled into the parking lot outside my apartment. I killed the engine and exhaled shakily, staring blankly at my blood-streaked fingers. Small shards of glass were still embedded in my skin, the crimson streaks standing out starkly against my

    Sarah’s POVNo single word could encompass the storm of emotions and pain surging through me.What I had witnessed two days ago refused to leave my mind. It replayed like a cruel joke, gnawing at my sanity, and dragging me into an abyss of doubt and heartbreak. No matter how much I tried to push it aside, it lingered like a shadow, taunting me with every waking moment.I thought Alessandro was different. I thought, for once, I had chosen right. But I was wrong—so terribly, devastatingly wrong.I had been blind. Stupid. Too trusting, too open, too easy to break.Ever since I left the restaurant with Ester that afternoon, Alessandro hadn’t stopped calling. The screen of my phone was a constant reminder of his persistence call after call, message after message. His name flashing repeatedly was like salt on an open wound, a cruel reminder of how foolish I had been.I blocked his number, thinking that would be the end of it. But before I did, I saw his texts. We need to talk. Please, Sarah

    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.

    Sarah POVWhile Adrian's personal assistant discussed a few points from Parker's side, I could hardly process any of his words. The constant tickling sensation on my skin made it nearly impossible to focus. Adrian's fingers traced slow, deliberate patterns along my thigh, sending unwanted shivers up my spine.No one could see what was happening under the table. Adrian and I were the only ones seated on this side, away from prying eyes. I tried to keep my movements to a minimum, terrified that any shift in position would expose more than I intended. My skirt had already ridden up dangerously high, and I knew that one wrong move could give Adrian a perfect view of my lingerie.The torture seemed to last forever. Every second beside him was suffocating. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the meeting concluded. I exhaled in relief as the event details were finalized, and people began gathering their things to leave the room.I remained seated, bidding farewell to everyone as they

The elevator ride to the conference floor felt longer than usual as I nervously smoothed down my skirt, making sure I looked presentable.As soon as I stepped off the elevator and made my way toward the conference room, I heard my name being called—no, yelled—from behind."SARAH!"The voice was loud, furious, and unmistakably Ester’s.I turned around, already knowing what was coming. "Shhh, lower your voice, woman. We’re still inside the office," I whispered, trying to calm her down before she made a scene."I wouldn’t be so loud if you had told me about your doctor’s appointment today! I would have accompanied you, Sarah," she said, her arms crossed, looking absolutely livid.I sighed, rubbing my temple. "Ester, it was just a routine check-up. No need to be pissed about it. There are still a lot more appointments to go; you can come along next tim

    Sarah POVAlessandro exhaled sharply but nodded. He took out his phone and made a call. A few minutes later, his driver informed him the car was ready.As I walked past him, he grabbed me one last time, his forehead pressing against mine. “Please,” he whispered, “don’t shut me out completely.”I pulled away, forcing myself not to look back.I stepped outside, sliding into the waiting car. As we drove away, I caught one last glimpse of Alessandro standing in the doorway, his gaze locked onto mine until I disappeared from his sight.I turned away, staring out into the dark streets.I didn’t know what hurt more—the betrayal, or the fact that despite it all, a part of me still loved him.______________________________________________________________________________"Your reports seem pretty good compared to your last visit, Mrs. Parker," Dr. Annita said while scribbling something on her notepad."Thank you, doctor.

    Sarah P.O.VHe stood there, casually leaning against the wall as if he hadn’t just drugged me and brought me to this godforsaken place against my will. His dark eyes held an unreadable expression, but I didn’t care. My rage burned away any hesitation.“Where the hell am I?” I snapped, ignoring the nausea clawing at my stomach.Alessandro sighed as if I were the one being unreasonable. “Relax, Sarah. You’re safe here. We’re at my mansion.”Safe? The audacity.“How dare you bring me here without my permission?” I shot back, venom lacing every word. “Being anywhere near you is the last thing I want.”His expression hardened. “You’ve been avoiding me for three days, Sarah. You blocked every possible way for me to reach you. This was the only way to make you listen.”The sheer arrogance of this man.“There is nothing to talk about,” I hissed. “I saw everything I needed to. You betrayed me, Alessandro. You betrayed us.”I turned, determined to put as much distance between us as possible. Bu

    Sarah P.O.VThe pounding in my head continued a relentless, unforgiving rhythm that made every thought feel sluggish and distant. My eyelids felt like they weighed a ton as I forced them open slightly. The dim light in the room barely illuminated my surroundings, but even in my disoriented state, I knew something was wrong.I tried to move, but a sharp, searing pain shot through my body, rendering my limbs weak and useless. My breath hitched, panic spreading through me like wildfire. I was still in my work clothes, the fabric wrinkled and slightly damp from sweat. That detail alone should have reassured me, but it didn’t.Because this wasn’t my room.My heart pounded against my ribs, and my fingers clenched the sheets beneath me. The walls dark, almost suffocating stood in stark contrast to my usual bright, open spaces. I scanned the unfamiliar surroundings, my breath coming in short, panicked gasps. My mind reeled as a sense of utter wrongness settled into my bones.Where the hell wa

    Sarah P.O.VEster shifted uncomfortably, hesitating before she spoke. "Sarah... the woman he was kissing she wasn’t just anyone.""What do you mean?" I asked, my stomach twisting."She was your step-sister, Chloe."Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. My mind reeled as I tried to process what she had just said."No," I whispered. "You must be mistaken.""I saw her, Sarah. When we were leaving the restaurant, I caught a glimpse of her face. It was Chloe."I shook my head, feeling my breath hitch. "Why? Why would Alessandro be with her? Are they having an affair?""I don’t know," Ester admitted. "But I think you deserve to find out the truth."I felt numb. My mind was racing with a thousand thoughts, none of them making sense.Ester gently rubbed my back. "Whatever you decide to do, I’ll support you."I nodded absentmindedly, offering her a weak smile in gratitude. We sat there for a few more minutes before finally deciding to leave.We walked together to the parking lot. Unlocking th

His usually composed demeanour was gone, replaced by something I had never seen before something that almost made me falter.Almost.I clenched my jaw, gripping the edge of my desk to steady myself.“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked coldly, my voice betraying none of the turmoil inside me.“I just want to talk,” he said softly, stepping inside despite the icy glare I sent his way.“There’s nothing left to talk about,” I snapped. “I told security not to let you in. How did you ”“I had to see you,” he interrupted, his voice filled with urgency. “Please, just hear me out.”I let out a bitter laugh. “Hear you out? After what I saw? After what you did?”“Sarah, it’s not what you think ”“Don’t,” I cut him off sharply, standing up.

    Sarah' P.O.VI don’t think a single word exists that could encompass the emotions swirling within me right now. The pain, the anger, the heartbreak—it all felt too overwhelming, too suffocating. My mind was a battlefield, my heart a shattered mess, and no matter how hard I tried to suppress my thoughts, they kept resurfacing, tormenting me relentlessly.What I witnessed two days ago still haunted me, replaying in my head like a cruel joke. It was as if life had decided to mock me, to remind me of my foolishness, of my gullibility. How could I have been so blind? How could I have been so naive to believe that Alessandro was different?I had truly thought he was. He had made me believe it with his gentle words, his reassuring smiles, and his promises. But in the end, he proved me wrong just like everyone else had.I had allowed myself to trust him, to let my walls down, and what did I get in return? Betrayal. Deception. Heartbreak.Ever since I had stormed out of that restaurant with Es
