ETHAN“Do I have to fulfill everything on your list before you give me the proof that the child is mine?”“Of course! Do you think that I'm a fool?” she smirked. “So, all you want is to be a board member so that you can show up at our meetings right? Fine. I accept. As long as you are not making decisions.”“I will also be allowed to receive the stipends those in the board get. You can't place me there without giving me anything. You know that right?” she asked.“I know. You will receive your stipends. Do you actually want to be in the board because of the money or you have your reasons?” I asked.There must be a solid reason behind all these. Ravenna was one person who knew how to tactfully plan something.“That is none of your business. Remember, I still own some shares in this company. Don't act like I have nothing here. And for the money. Hmmm…. it's part of it,” she replied and I was becoming worked up.“You don't brag in your name with what others did for you. I was the o
REINAThe short trip I had with Bruce was worth it.Bruce had literally come into my life to stay even though I have not given him a permanent answer. I loved him. My daily routine still remains the same.Waking up in my house, getting dragged out of the house by Bruce and all that.I woke up late and smile to myself as I roll over, thinking back to the way Bruce kept me awake up all night.He was the sweetest man ever. This sweet being wouldn’t stop telling me he loved me, and his touch was so reverent that I thought I would lose it if he does not stop.I looked over the pillow and I saw him sleeping like a child. My fingertips brushed over his pillow, and the smile that I wore on my face faded as I remembered the guilt that tormented me. The guilt of rejecting him and telling him that it was not time to get married.I didn't know if he was serious about us. But, he looked like he was. Staring at him, I thought of so many things. Have I in any way hurt him? I would not know be
REINAMy eyes showed that I was eager to know what he actually meant by all tWhat exactly was he talking about? What exactly does he mean? Can he just cut all these.“Okay…” “Long story short. I guess you were bored by all that long talk. The summary is that you look hot and sexy in the jeans. I totally love it and b would want to see you like this often,” he responded and I could feel mg head swelling with my cheeks heating furiously. “Thank you,” I finally let out after I had melted inside of me.“Have you worn them before? Somewhere?” he asked and I shook my head. “No. I… this is the first time I’ve worn them.”.“Wow. It really looks perfect on you.”His eyes twinkle as he glances at me, and I could not help but smile back at him “I’m glad it does,” I replied, accepting his compliment.I finally got a pop up message from the salon and it was a rather disappointing message. “We’re fully booked today,” the message read and I raised an eyebrow. “Is that so?” I
"I don't know if you've noticed but I'm simply running out of patience at this point. What's your last request?" I had broken out in a terribke sweat as her very presence annoyed the hell out of me.She wasn't even trying to hide the fact that she would get to any extent to take Reina down and that infuriated me to say the least."Ethan, talk to me like that one more time and I swear to every God under the heavens that I would leave and you can forget about knowing if he's your son or not. You can just live with the thought, besides, you've denied 2 of my request so I'd like to ask a question before telling you the last." Her poise was annoying, her confidence was graceful and I wondered if this was the same Ravenna I had married.This woman was literally a monster and there was absolutely nothing anyone would tell me to think otherwise."Go on." I shrugged my shoulders, not sparing her a glance as I looked at the rough files that were scattered around my table."Why are you so obsess
"You won't humiliate me like this, you have a lot to loose. I have to remind you that." The securities I called for had already come in and were on the verge of dragging her away."I do, don't I?" I tilted my head and she looked at me like I was on the verge of loosing my mind. I signalled to the securities and they dragged her up."Take your hands off me, you sleezy little bunch of idiots." She yelled and stood up on her own, then walked out.On getting to the door, she turned and glared at me, "You're going to regret this a lot." She was right, I am already regretting this but i wouldn't let her trample on my pride. She could do that in secret when we were both together but taking it to the public, in front of the board members was where she misstepped and crossed the line."Gentlemen, I think with this we have reached a perfect agreement that there's no new board member," They nodded and I shrugged my shoulders indefinitely whilst standing up immediately. "If that would be all, t
ETHAN"Do you realize what you're telling me to do? I went out of that lome of game for a very very long while. Ethan, I promised my wife." Liam stated from the other end of the phone while Ethan squinted his eyes toward Reina's gate and rubbed his forehead again.It was an act that he had done more times than usual especially these days that he was overly stressed."So I guess your wife is the problem? I would speak to your wife if I need to Liam, I am desperate." I heaved a sigh and there was a pause at the other end of the line."Ethan, what if I get caught? I can't just walk into someone's house and plant camera's, it's quite risky you know and I'm not about to get arrested and leave my wife while I'm on my honey moon." I took the phone away from his my and stared at it with a raised brow."Liam, you're not on your honeymoon. You got married 3 years ago." Liam chuckled while I leaned in closer on the rails gazing towards her house. It seemed like she was taking her son to school.
ETHAN'S POV I stared at the footage, my eyes fixed on Bruce and Reina as they slipped into bed together. Reina didn't even seem the least disturbed that she was getting into bed with another man. I mean, is that supposed to be normal? From what I saw, there were a lot of empty rooms that Bruce could use but they decided to act like a couple and sleep together? Or are they really a couple? I've hesitated to believe that from the onset but all this is infuriating. There's no way they are a couple! Fuck, I really really really, refuse to believe that. My mind raced with anger and jealousy, my fists clenched at my sides. How could she do this to me? How could she just move on so easily? Okay, I think I'm acting a bit mad now. I slammed my second laptop shut, the screen cracking against the wall. I didn't care. I couldn't care. I was too consumed by my own rage. This makes it the second laptop I'm destroying in a space of 10 minutes. I grabbed my phone and logged onto the camera f
ETHAN'S POV I stormed out of my house, my mind racing with the new information from the private investigator. Yes, I was unable to sleep well after seeing the footage of Reina and Bruce so I called up Liam and he referred me to another private investigator that resumed work the other day. Andrew was alone at school, and they were having a father's celebration event. This was the perfect opportunity to confront him. I arrived at the school and made my way to the auditorium, where the event was being held. I could hear the sound of laughter and applause as I approached. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what was to come. Come what may, today I have to talk to my son. I'm sure he would also have his own opinions when he sees me but I was prepared for it. As I entered the auditorium, I scanned the room for Andrew. He was sitting on stage, looking smug as usual. I made my way through the crowd, my eyes locked on him. "Mr Ethan Walters!" Someone had called out to me a
