Ethan's POV:

“Ethan, have you completely lost it? What are you up to, and can't you see that we are in the hospital? Let me make it very clear so that you don't presume to do anything like this again! My son is admitted here, and I can't leave him alone–”

Her sweet voice knocks against my ears, carrying a note of agitation with it, and I look at her face with a smile.

“Love! Do you really think that I can ever do or plan anything which can give you anxiety? No, honey! I know Adrin is here, and he can't be left alone… but I also know that he is sleeping right now, and the medicine will at least keep him sleeping for two hours–”

“So? Even if the medication will keep him sleeping for the next two hours, what do you want me to do? I still can't leave him unattended here–”

“Who told you that you are going to leave him unattended?”

I cut in, anticipating that her next words are definitely going to be about Adrin’s condition. In order to put her worries to rest, I was just about to tell her

    Ashley's POV:My anger, fear and anxiety of getting caught up in the lies of my life with Ethan vanishes the moment he starts to play the video, as all my attention has shifted to my poor baby… who was captured in this surveillance footage, getting bullied by his friends brutally.Not only had they snatched his water bottle and lunch box, but they were about to push him to the ground, while at least three other kids were grabbing his collar, sleeve and elbow, pulling him in different directions at the same time.And meanwhile, the teacher was just chilling; sitting peacefully on one of the swings without showing any concern to save my baby or interfere in the fight and break it up.This scene is already enough to make my blood shoot above the boiling point.I'm confident that if I don't get to talk to this teacher as soon as possible and demand answers for her deliberate and blatant act of irresponsibility, my blood will surely start vaporizing in some time, because of the rising fire

    Ethan's POV:Her eyes finally soften after a long time, after hearing Peter's words. Otherwise, I had almost lost the hope that she would ever consider my words.“Peter, I… I have told you about–”Her voice again brings me back to the present, but Peter doesn't give me the chance to enjoy it, even for a little while longer.“I know you should have briefed me about your son and moving on with your life, but that is not the reason why I am angry with you. I am not mad because you have hidden your happiness from me, but I am angry because you didn't even contact me in your misery. So before I get even angrier, it would be good for both of you to leave.”He speaks with a fake anger in his tone and a wide smile on his face, as he turns towards me. “Go and get that wench!! Who dared to hurt our precious Adrin!! Or else you both should know that I just don't look fierce, I am actually a very fierce person–”“Yes! We both know that you are a cutie patootie!!

I also know that no matter how scared Lily is going to be, she still might not be too willing to give us the full details, but finding out what is going on with Adrin is more important than anything else.She can keep the details to herself if she can tell me, why were those kids bullying him? How can his teacher be so heartless, that she herself pushed him off the swing?Because if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, not only would I have given her the benefit of the

Can you please tell us what happened that day?”Ashley's words bring me back to reality at the critical moment, before my guilt would have killed me with its sharp claws. And as soon as her voice pauses after posing the question, Stephanie chimes in with an enthusiastic yes, and continues with her narration.This is the real bliss of childhood; they don't really understand the things which have hurt them in the past, but now, it

    Ashley's POV:I take a glance at the clock, I have a few minutes to myself before we have to leave for lunch. After saying goodbye to Mike, I plan on finally telling my feelings to Ethan when he is sober… judging by the state he was in last time, he probably isn't going to remember anything about our conversation. Just as I lift the second earring from the dresser, my phone rings, vibrating with an urgency. It is a call from my assistant, and I receive it quickly. “Yes M–”“Ma'am, did you see the news? The quotations from Mr. Johnson's bids are all over the place just before the bid is due to start, and everyone is speculating that it is you. News agencies are reaching out for an interview ma'am, what are we supposed to do?”“Okay… I will see what I have to do.”I disconnect the call, feeling a pit in my stomach. Of course, the public opinion will be against me now, as he has just said over the call. But not only that, Ethan might doubt me too… because I am the single person he ha

    Ashley's POV: Although I have mentioned to Mike that I have to pick Adrin up, I still drive towards the church, knowing that I have lied to him.But why do I have to lie to him? Because if we are going to marry each other, it should be normal… a normal gesture of affection between couples, right? I gulp, realizing that the answer is painfully obvious. I know I am not being honest with anyone… neither him, nor with my own self. Caught up in this dilemma, I reach home, knowing that today is scheduled as Ethan's turn with Adrin.To my surprise, I find Adrin sleeping peacefully on his bed, having changed out of his uniform. And Ethan's car is still parked by the entrance…Finally, I notice Ethan… sitting on the floor, beside the couch, which is probably why I missed him in the first place. I walk around the couch with careful footsteps, until he comes fully into my view… and so does the drink in his hand, which he is chugging like no tomorrow. Rushing towards him, I quickly snatch t

    Ashley's POV:Nobody can imagine the pain and frustration I have spent my night with… aside from stomping on my own pride and having to call off the engagement for the second time, the papers of the custody were something that I was fearing the most.But now when I have them in my hands, the only emotion I have left inside me is anger.Pure rage running through my veins like molten lava…It is in this anger that I rush to his house to confront him, the house I'm extremely familiar with. And without any consideration, I make a beeline for the stairs, directly barging into his room without even knocking or waiting.But the moment I step inside, I realize what a mistake I have made, because Ethan is in there… half- dressed as he is changing his clothes. It takes me a moment to process, and I have probably been staring at him for a few minutes straight before I spin on my heel, facing the door. The word “sorry" is on the tip of my tongue, but he chuckles before that;“Umm… hey Princess!

What's bothering me more than that, is the fact that he hasn't asked anything from me.At the same time, I haven't asked anything from him, either. But I know we can't go on like this… I need to tell him the truth and ask him the reason for his absence.With this thought, I step on the brakes, snatching my purse from the passenger seat as I get down in front of Mike's house. I step inside without knocking, knowing that he lives alone and my shouts are enough to tell him about my arrival.“Mike!! Mik
