Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart by Hayley

Chapter 06

SARAH'S POV

"Hey, Mrs. Sarah," Desmond's voice rang out from behind as I placed the papers on the center table next to me. I turned to see him approaching, and his expression was one of pity, causing me to avert my gaze. "Hey," I replied, knowing all too well that his sympathetic stare was more than I could handle in that moment. All I wanted was to be left alone, to let the tears flow freely.

"Sir Richard has asked me to assist you with your belongings," Desmond continued, his voice compassionate.

I swallowed the remaining saliva that had pooled in my throat as I quickly turned my gaze away, hoping to avoid Desmond's sympathetic look. Tears now streamed down my cheeks, leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable. "Oh yeah," I said, forcing my voice to sound steady as I stood up and began walking towards my room. Desmond followed close behind. When we reached my door, I turned the doorknob, the metal cold beneath my fingers. "Wait here," I commanded, my voice a little unsteady.

I opened the door halfway and stepped inside the room, closing the door behind me as I leaned against it. The tears flowed more freely now, my chest heaving with each sob. I couldn't hold back anymore. The thought of starting over without Richard was overwhelming, but I knew I had to be strong.

I wiped my face with the back of my hand, composing myself. After a moment, I opened the door again, ready to face the world, or at least Desmond. "Alright, let's start with the books," I said, trying to sound as normal as possible. Desmond nodded, understanding my need for composure.

The task of packing and moving my belongings with Desmond's assistance took less than a handful of minutes. Before I knew it, we were carrying the boxes to my car.
