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

Chapter 21

Sarah's

POV

Over the next few days, things started changing quickly. Wesley wasn't just talking-he was making things happen.

Suddenly, Vitalé Wellness had more exposure than I'd ever imagined.

New clients, partnerships, and even investors were coming out of the woodwork, all wanting a piece of what we were building. And Wesley... he was there every step of the way. Helping. Supporting. In ways I'd only ever wished someone would.

I couldn't help but think back to Richard. When I was with him, I had always wanted this kind of partnership.

Someone who believed in my vision, and who saw the potential in my business the way I did.

But Richard was never really there. He was always focused on himself, on his own company.

He didn't even look at me twice, he had treated me like I was some kind of shit.

Wesley wasn't like that.

We were sitting in a meeting one afternoon, going over a new marketing campaign he had helped put together.

As we talked, I realized how easily he saw the same potential in my company that I did.

He wasn't just making suggestions; he was building a future with me, something Richard had never even tried to do.

"Sarah, look at these projections," Wesley said, sliding a stack of papers across the table.

"This is where Vitalé Wellness is heading. These aren't just dreams anymore. You're on the verge of becoming a major player."

I glanced at the charts. The numbers were staggering. "This... this is real?"

Wesley smiled. "More than real. This is just the beginning. You've worked hard for this, Sarah. It's about time you got what you deserved."

His words hit me in a way I hadn't expected. There was something so genuine about the way he said it.

He wasn't just giving me lip service; he truly believed in me, in us.

It felt strange, though, comparing him to Richard. I never wanted to do that, but I couldn't help it.

Wesley leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair, looking more serious than usual. We had been talking about the partnership for a while, and things were moving fast. Too fast,
