"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
REINA'S POV"Is there no way you can speed up? I need to be in my sons school in hours." I pressurized the uber driver. Out of the least of things that has happened, today's failure was huge. Andrew's school was celebrating Father's Day and Bruce was supposed to be there but he caught a flu the night before. My car suddenly broke down so I had to take the Uber which only took things to an intense level."Ma'am, I'm riding within the speed limit." I facepalmed myself, he had said that about a million times now and I was tired of hearing it.Soon, I was already at the school. I wondered what he must be feeling with other kids surrounded by their families while he was alone.He would feel so lonely and that prompted me to start running with my heels towards the hall.The front part was quieter than usual, and the silence was oppressive which was normal as the hall was far inside rhe compound.Oh hold on, did I forget that there was a father's day celebration?That would be where all th
ETHAN'S POV They say pain comes in different dimensions and often times, embarrassment hurts more than it but if I had the power to shift the hand of the clock, i would definitely say that i get embarrassed every day of my life than face this kind of pain that was coursing through my veins. I watched in agony as Reina dragged Andrew away, his small hands reaching out for me. "But mummy, this uncle is a nice man. I was already getting bullied by some kids that my daddy won't show up when he came. Surely, he deserves to be called Daddy for just today." The small kid stated and my eyes welled up in tears. How broken I would.be when it is finally cemented that he is not my child, if I'm able to survive the pain then I'm pretty sure I can survive every other thing. "Let him go, Reina. Just few more minutes won't do any harm.." I begged, my voice echoing down the hallway. "Andrew? Where is daddy?" Reina asked and I used my hand ker chief to wipe my eyes that were already red and hot
REINA'S POV. "What did you say, Andrew? There's no way Ethan is here right?" I turned to stare at Bruce who was smoothening Andrew's hair as he had just ran inside. "I don't think the child saw a ghost, Reina. If he said he saw Ethan, then there is every possiblity that Ethan is here." Bruce stood up walking towards the door and it seemed like our hearts were in sync because that's exactly what I wanted to do. "Are you?" I didn't complete the question when he nodded and I ruffled Andrew's hair slightly. "Baby, stay here okay? I and uncle is going to be back soon." I assured and he nodded I stormed up the stairs with Bruce by my side, expecting to see Ethan walking away when I saw them. How ironically beautiful. He was here not just alone but with his wife. Ethan and Ravenna, standing there like they owned the place though one could feel the spite and anger between them but it didn't deter me from walking over to them. "What are you doing here?" I spat, my anger boiling over as
