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 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 POVI was drifting, lost in an abyss where time didn't exist. My mind screamed at me to wake up, to move, to fight but my body refused to obey. It was as if I were trapped in my own skin, paralyzed in a nightmare I couldn’t escape from.Then, a sound. Faint at first. A low hum vibrates through the fog in my brain. Slowly, the world began to seep back in, piece by piece.I became aware of my breathing shallow, ragged. My body felt weightless, yet at the same time, unbearably heavy. My limbs ached as if I had been dragged through the fire, my head pounding like a hammer against a slab of iron.Panic flickered to life in my chest. I wasn’t home. I wasn’t safe.My eyes fluttered open, my vision swimming as I tried to adjust to the dim lighting. The scent of stale wood and damp air filled my nostrils, sending a shiver crawling down my spine.Where was I?I tried to move, but something held me down. My wrists are tied. My ankles were bound.Cold, unrelenting dread slithered through me

Sarah POVThe city lights blurred into streaks as the car sped through the quiet streets. My hands clenched into fists on my lap, nails digging into my palms. I couldn’t feel the pain. Numbness had taken over, spreading like poison through my veins.Alessandro’s confession echoed in my mind, a relentless torment I couldn’t escape. Every word had been a dagger, cutting deeper than I thought possible. He was supposed to seduce me. Trick me. He had fallen for me, but it didn’t change the fact that I had been nothing more than a pawn in a game orchestrated by my father and his.I let out a bitter laugh, startling the driver.“You okay, Miss?” he asked, glancing at me through the rearview mirror.“Just drive,” I muttered, pressing my forehead against the cool glass of the window.My chest felt tight as if someone was squeezing the air out of my lungs. I had loved Alessandro. God, I still did. But love wasn’t enough. Not when betrayal stood between us like an unmovable wall.The car pulled u

Sarah POVHe stood at the doorway, his face a mixture of desperation and regret. 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. My hands trembled, but I refused to let him see my weakness. “Don’t insult me by pretending there’s some ridiculous explanation that could justify what you did.”“Just giv
