All Chapters of Accidental Love: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Sarah’s Point of view:I smiled as my phone buzzed with an incoming text from Ethan."Hey, want to grab coffee and chat?"I felt a flutter in my chest.Ethan and I had been friends for a while now, and I always enjoyed our conversations."Sure, when were you thinking?" I replied."How about today? 2 pm at The Daily Grind?"I checked my schedule."Works for me."I sent a confirmation text and spent the rest of the morning wondering what Ethan wanted to discuss.Was everything okay?He sounded serious.At 2 pm, I walked into The Daily Grind, spotting Ethan in the corner.He stood up, flashing that warm smile I was accustomed to."Hey, Sarah."I hugged him."Hey, Ethan. What's going on?"Ethan's expression turned serious."I need to talk to you about something."My curiosity piqued."Everything okay?"Ethan nodded."Yeah, everything's fine. Just... complicated."I raised an eyebrow."Complicated?"Ethan took a deep breath."Let's order drinks first. Then I'll explain."I nodded, intrigu

Sarah’s Point of view: I woke up to Titan's frantic barking, the sound echoing through the house. At first, I thought it was just a reaction to a stray animal outside. But as the barks grew louder and more insistent, I knew something was wrong. I threw off the covers and rushed out of my bedroom, my heart racing. The barking was coming from the living room. I quickened my pace, my senses on high alert. As I entered the living room, I saw Titan standing at the window, his fur standing on end. His eyes were fixed on something outside. I followed his gaze, and my blood ran cold. Alex. He was standing outside, his face twisted in anger. In his hand, he clutched a bunch of papers. The divorce papers. "What the fuck is this, Sarah?" he shouted, his voice muffled by the glass. "You think you can divorce me?" "You think I'll let you go?" Titan's barks turned ferocious, as if sensing my fear. Emily emerged from her room, rubbing her eyes.

Sarah’s Point of view: I sat beside Emily's bed, holding her hand and talking softly to her. "Emily, it's me, Sarah. I'm here for you. You're going to wake up, and everything will be okay." Ethan sat in the chair beside me, his eyes fixed on Emily's face. "We're here for you, Em," he said, his voice low. I glanced at Ethan, grateful for his support. "Thank you for being here," I whispered. Ethan smiled. "I'll always be here for you and Emily." As the hours passed, I continued to talk to Emily, sharing memories and stories. I told her about our childhood adventures, our laughter, and our tears. I reminded her of our promises to each other, of our unbreakable bond. Ethan listened quietly, his eyes never leaving Emily's face. Occasionally, a nurse would come in to check on Emily, but otherwise, we were alone. The hospital room was quiet, except for the beeping of machines and Emily's steady breathing. Ethan's voice broke the silence. "Sarah

Sarah’s Point of view:I woke up in an unfamiliar place, disoriented for a moment.But then memories flooded back.Moving in with Ethan.Our pretend engagement.Today was the day we'd sign the contract.Make it official.I sat up, taking in my new room.The morning light highlighted its elegant design.Soft cream walls.Rich hardwood floors.A stunning chandelier hung from the ceiling.A floor-to-ceiling window offered a breathtaking view of the garden.Titan scratched the door, whining softly."Okay, buddy," I said, laughing.I opened the door, letting him out.He bounded down the hallway, tail wagging.I smiled, shaking my head.Time to get ready.I freshened up, dressing in a simple yet elegant outfit.A pale blue blouse.Black trousers.My hair styled in loose waves.As I finished, my stomach rumbled.Something smelled amazing.Freshly baked croissants?Coffee?My mouth watered.I followed the scent downstairs.To the kitchen.Where Ethan waited, smiling.Maria, the housekeeper

Ethan’s Point of view:We drove back home, the hospital visit weighing heavily on Sarah's mind.I glanced over at her.She was silent and deep in thought.Her profile, illuminated by the fading sunlight.Beautiful."Penny for your thoughts?" I asked."Surely you can afford more than a penny for my thoughts," she laughed.Her smile, a brief respite from her worries.I chuckled."You're right.""I'll pay top dollar," I said.Sarah's eyes sparkled."You don't have to pay at all," she replied."Just listen."I nodded."I'm all ears."Sarah's gaze drifted out the window."I was just thinking... my life is changing so much," she said."Emily's always been a constant in my life.""And now..."She trailed off.I waited patiently."Everything feels different," she continued."Meeting you, this pretend engagement....""It's all so surreal."I reached for her hand."I know it's a lot to take in," I said."But I'm here for you."Through all of this.Sarah's eyes met mine."Thanks, Ethan."Her vo
