Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart Chapter 35
Sarah’s POV.The afternoon sun warmed my skin as I stood outside on the lawn, staring at nothing in particular. My thoughts kept drifting back to Richard. He had married me for his inheritance. I always wondered why he went through with the marriage when it was clear he didn’t love me. But now, I had my answer.It hurt. It hurt more than I wanted to admit. All those times I hoped he’d see me, really see me, were wasted. I was just a pawn in his game for money.I took a deep breath and shook my head. I couldn’t dwell on this. I needed to focus on what mattered now—my work, my company. If Richard married me for money, that was his problem, not mine.My company was my future, and I wasn’t going to let it be dragged down by Richard or anyone else. I had made sure that my business no longer competed directly with his. I wanted success on my terms, not by playing dirty. I would rise without cheating, without making enemies. That was how I would win.Just as I was mentally preparing mys

Sarah’s POV.I stood at the large windows of my office, looking out at the city below. The view was impressive, but my thoughts were miles away. It had been a few days since I slammed the door in Richard and Wesley’s faces. A part of me wondered if I had overreacted, but the larger part of me knew that it was time to take control of my life. I was done being pushed around, done letting them dictate my emotions. Richard married me for his inheritance—that truth still stung. But what hurt more was that I spent years hoping he’d fall in love with me.That one day, he’d see me as more than just a means to an end. And Wesley? I didn’t even know where to start with him. He claimed he was helping me with my business, but instead he was just using me to get under Richard’s skin.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I needed to stop thinking about them. I had more important things to focus on, like my company. After everything that had happened, my business had become my lifeline.I

Sarah's pov.I stared at the list of investors on my screen, scrolling through the names, the firms, and the potential for expansion. Europe. It was finally happening. Months of strategy meetings, long nights, and that little voice of self-doubt constantly whispering.“Can you really do this?”—all of it was leading to this moment. And for once, the voice had nothing on me. I was doing it. I was expanding my company into Europe, and no one was going to stop me. Not even me.As I adjusted the strap of my watch, I glanced at the time. Another hour until my meeting. I felt the familiar pulse of excitement and nerves—a cocktail I’d come to savor. My phone buzzed, and I glanced down at the screen. Richard. Again.I shook my head, letting out a short, sharp breath through my nose. He just didn’t get it. It’s been weeks since I told him—no, ordered him to leave me alone. I guess the man had always been persistent, but this was just... irritating. I pressed ignore, and his name vanished fr

Sarah’s pov.Wesley stood in my office, shifting awkwardly from foot to foot. His usually confident, swagger-filled stance was nowhere to be found. Good. About time he felt uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and tried to meet my eyes, but I wasn’t making it easy for him. I wasn’t about to let him weasel his way back in with his charm and that fake sincerity he pulled out for special occasions. “Sarah,” he began, voice low and cautious, like he was testing the waters. “I just... I really need to explain.”I crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair, keeping my face as neutral as possible. “Go on then,” I said, my voice flat. “Explain.”Wesley took a deep breath like he was about to dive into some deep emotional well, but honestly, I wasn’t holding my breath. “I know I’ve messed up,” he started, “but I need you to understand. When I first got involved with you, it was... yeah, it was about getting to Richard.”Right. “But it wasn’t all that. You’re... you’re different, Sarah. I

Sarah’s pov.Richard was getting desperate. I could feel it in the way he kept showing up. It was like every event, every networking dinner, and every conference somehow had him lurking in the background. Coincidence? Yeah, right. The man was a master of accidentally being wherever I was.I was at this gala for my company’s expansion into Europe—big deal, lots of investors, very important faces. I had on my favorite black dress, the one that made me feel like I owned the whole room, and for a while, I did. Until, of course, Richard appeared like a bad plot twist.I’d see him across the room, talking to someone important, his eyes constantly scanning until they landed on me. Then, there it was: that small smile, like we shared some private joke. Newsflash, Richard: the joke’s over, and it wasn’t funny to begin with.“Sarah!” His voice cut through the mingling hum of the crowd. My heart did that stupid little leap thing it always does when I hear his voice. Annoying. I turned to f

Sarah’s pov.I sat there, staring at my phone for a good fifteen minutes. Just staring, no calls, no texts, just pure silence. My mind was racing, bouncing between the two people I knew I had to call—Richard and Wesley. This was going to be awkward, painful even, but it was necessary. I had spent days reflecting, mulling over everything. I had forgiven them, sure. That part was done. But now I had to tell them what came next.I picked up the phone and dialed Wesley first. Of course, he answered on the second ring.“Sarah?” His voice had that hopeful edge to it, like maybe I was calling to give him another chance. Spoiler alert: I wasn’t.“Hi, Wesley,” I said, keeping my tone neutral. “I wanted to talk. About everything.”There was a pause on his end, but I could hear him shifting, probably adjusting himself in whatever fancy leather chair he was sitting in. “Yeah, of course. I’ve been waiting to hear from you.”I let out a slow breath, gathering my thoughts. “I’ve had a lot of tim

Sarah’s pov.Sitting in my office, I stared at the email that just came through. “Congratulations, Sarah Williams. The deal has been approved. Looking forward to working with you.”It was official—my company had just landed the biggest deal of its career, a partnership that would launch us into a whole new level of success.I sat back in my chair, letting the weight of it all settle in. This was the moment I’d been working toward for a year now. The validation that every late night and stressful meeting had been worth it. I should have been over the moon. And I was—at least, on the surface. But why did I feel like something was missing?Before I could dwell on it too much, my phone buzzed. It was Emma.“Hey, superstar!” Her voice was bright and cheerful. “Just heard the news. How does it feel to be on top of the world?”I laughed, but it came out a little forced. “It feels… surreal. I mean, I knew we had a good chance, but seeing it in writing makes it real, you know?”“That’s becau

Sarah’s pov.I didn’t think much of it when Richard first started sending those messages. At first, it was a simple “Congrats on the deal!” or “Hope the expansion’s going well!” I’d glance at my phone, roll my eyes, and go back to my emails, telling myself that it was nothing. But slowly, those little check-ins started to pile up, and I couldn’t ignore them. “Why is he doing this?” I muttered to myself one evening, staring at another message from Richard that read, “Heard about your new office space! Sounds exciting!” My thumb hovered over the reply button for longer than I’d care to admit, but I put the phone down instead. I wasn’t about to start up a casual text relationship with my ex-husband like we were long-lost friends.Emma’s voice played in my head. “You’re not a robot, Sarah.” Right, not a robot. But still, I was trying to move on, and Richard’s friendly little notes weren’t helping.Days passed, and it didn’t stop. It was always something small, nothing intrusive, but i

Richard pov.The weeks that followed were like a dream, the kind of dream I never wanted to wake up from. Sarah’s recovery was nothing short of miraculous. She was her old self again—strong, radiant, and filled with the kind of joy that seemed to light up any room she entered. And our daughter? She was growing so fast, already wrapping us—and everyone else—in her tiny fingers. But the best part of it all? We were finally preparing for our wedding. Sarah wanted something small and intimate, just us and our closest family and friends. She’d always talked about having a garden wedding, surrounded by nature, with the sun setting in the background. And that’s exactly what we were going to do. The morning was a flurry of activity. Zoe was in charge of decorations, barking orders at Martins, who looked like he’d rather be anywhere else. “Martins, the flowers go on the left,” Zoe said, hands on her hips. “They look fine where they are,” Martins shot back, holding up a bouquet of

Richard pov.Weeks passed. Life felt like a blur of hospital visits, endless updates from doctors, and quiet moments spent in Sarah’s room. I was there every day, holding her hand, speaking softly to her, willing her to wake up. Zoe and Martins tried their best to keep things light whenever they visited, cracking jokes or telling stories, but even they couldn’t hide their worry. The NICU had become another constant in my life. Our daughter was thriving despite her premature birth, a tiny fighter who seemed determined to make it through. I’d visit her every evening after sitting with Sarah, watching her tiny chest rise and fall under the glow of the incubator’s lights. She was the only glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark time. “Hey, little one,” I whispered one night, my hand resting on the incubator. “Your mom’s going to wake up soon. She has to. She wouldn’t leave us like this.” It was a quiet morning when the miracle happened. I was sitting in Sarah’s room, flipping through

Richard pov.The morning of the trial felt heavy. I left the hospital earlier than usual, making sure Zoe would stay with Sarah. Despite the overwhelming dread, there was a part of me that felt strangely numb, as if my emotions had run dry after weeks of worry and anger. Martins met me outside the courthouse, impeccably dressed in his usual sharp suit. He clapped a hand on my shoulder, his touch grounding. “Today’s a big step forward,” he said. “Remember, this trial is about getting justice, not reopening wounds. You’re here to see Susan held accountable, not to punish yourself for her actions.”I nodded, though his words didn’t settle the unease churning in my gut. The courtroom was cold, and even though I’d prepared myself for this moment, seeing Susan seated across the room made my stomach twist. She didn’t look like someone riddled with guilt; she looked indifferent, like this was just another ordinary day. The prosecution opened with a detailed timeline of events, recou

Richard pov.The call from the police came just after dawn, jarring me awake in the cold, uncomfortable chair next to Sarah’s hospital bed. I fumbled with my phone, heart pounding as I stepped into the hallway to answer.“We’ve located Susan,” the officer said. “She’s in custody. We’d like you to come down to the station.”My grip tightened around the phone. The relief I felt was fleeting, quickly replaced by anger. “I’ll be there,” I said, my voice low.Zoe appeared beside me as I hung up. She had been sitting with Sarah through the night, taking turns with Martins to ensure I wasn’t alone. Her eyes were heavy with exhaustion, but her concern for Sarah mirrored my own.“Was that about Susan?” she asked.I nodded. “They’ve got her. I’m heading to the station.”“I’m coming with you,” she said firmly.“No,” I said, shaking my head. “Stay here. I need someone I trust to be with Sarah.”She hesitated, then sighed. “Fine. But keep me updated.”When I arrived at the police station, Martin

Richard pov.The cold, sterile environment of the police station did nothing to settle the unease that had been gnawing at me since Sarah’s fall. Sitting across from Isabelle in the small interrogation room only amplified it. She looked different—disheveled, almost feral—but her eyes still held that same unhinged intensity I remembered from before. Martins sat beside me, arms crossed, his body language radiating skepticism and disgust. The officer standing by the door had warned us to keep the conversation civil, but I wasn’t here to trade pleasantries. “Why, Isabelle?” My voice was steady, but my hands clenched into fists under the table. “Why did you hurt Sarah?” She tilted her head, a slow, deliberate movement that made my skin crawl. Then, she smiled—a twisted, almost childlike grin. “She wanted to take you from me,” she said, her tone eerily calm. I blinked, the sheer absurdity of her words momentarily robbing me of speech. “Take me from you? Isabelle, how many times

Richard pov.Morning came soon. The soft hum of the machines in Sarah’s room provided a false sense of calm, but every beep reminded me she was hanging on by a thread. My chest felt heavy with every passing second, waiting for her to open her eyes, to tell me everything would be okay. Zoe and Martins stayed close, their presence quiet but steady. Zoe would occasionally bring coffee or attempt to distract me with updates on the baby, but my focus stayed on Sarah.Martins had taken over the logistics—coordinating with hospital staff, keeping everyone updated, and ensuring the security team outside wasn’t slacking. It was just after 7 a.m. when my phone buzzed in my pocket, the vibration snapping me out of my daze. I saw the caller ID and immediately stepped out of the room to take the call. “This better be good,” I snapped, my voice low but sharp. “Mr. Wright,” a familiar voice responded—it was Derek, head of my security team. “We’ve apprehended Isabelle.” The words didn’t re

Richard povThe living room buzzed with life—laughter, the clinking of glasses, and warm chatter filled the air. Guests had arrived, carrying brightly wrapped gifts and wide smiles. It should have been a joyful day, a celebration of new life. But all I could feel was unease twisting in my gut like a knot that wouldn’t come undone. Martins nudged me as I stood by the window, eyes darting to the security guards stationed discreetly outside. “Hey, CIA,” he joked, his tone light. “You might wanna dial it down before Sarah figures out you’ve turned the baby shower into a covert operation.” I managed a thin smile. “Just being cautious.” Martins chuckled. “Yeah, cautious is your middle name. You’re so tense, you might scare the baby into coming early.” His humor didn’t land. I couldn’t shake the image of Sarah falling down those stairs from my mind—a thought that had no basis but still felt like an omen. Isabelle was out there. I didn’t know where, and that made her a threat.

Sarah pov.I woke up feeling like I was floating on air. Memories of last night flooded back—the soft glow of fairy lights, Richard’s face as he knelt before me, the ring that sparkled on my finger. I glanced at my hand, letting the sunlight catch the diamond, and smiled. It still felt surreal. The baby stirred, a gentle nudge reminding me she was there. “Good morning, little one,” I murmured, rubbing my belly. She responded with another kick, and my heart swelled. Today was going to be beautiful, filled with friends and laughter at the baby shower. But as I climbed out of bed and pulled on a robe, a faint unease settled in the back of my mind. Something I couldn’t quite place. When I reached the kitchen, the smell of coffee and the sound of laughter greeted me. Zoe was sitting at the counter, holding a steaming mug, while Martins leaned back in his chair, mid-joke. “Ah, our glowing bride-to-be!” Martins said with exaggerated flair, waving his hands like a magician. I roll

Richard pov.It had been a month since our trip to the nearby town. Sarah was now in her eighth month, and every day, I marveled at how gracefully she handled the ups and downs of pregnancy. But today was about more than just her strength—it was about giving her a moment to remember forever. I had planned a re-engagement surprise for her, one that would let her know how much she meant to me, now and always.“Martins, hurry up with the banner!” I called out as my best friend tried to figure out which end of the ribbon went where. He muttered something about not being a decorator, but I ignored him.The house was chaotic, but the good kind. At least, that’s what I kept telling myself as I rushed from one end of the living room to the other, adjusting balloons and making sure the decorations didn’t look like a Pinterest project gone wrong. I wanted everything to be perfect for Sarah. After everything we’d been through, she deserved that—and more.“Richard, mate, you need to chill,” Ma
