Ethan - The Secret Lover Chapter 60
She could hear the other's labored breathing. He knew he had provoked his wrath."Looks like you're not so irresistible after all!" I've just been notified that Alexis Morgan has entered this building. And if she's here, it's because she made a choice.Ethan's heart skipped a beat. His brain seemed to go numb. Alexis had gone looking for her? It couldn't mean what he thought it could...“And again, if she's here, it's because you weren't chosen, my dear!He closed his eyes, feeling every bone in his body go cold. She wouldn't! Would make?'You don't know Alexis Morgan as well as I do, my dear! " Shepherd's voice, cruel and unbearably sure, hurt in his ears. 'She's ambitious, and she's always envied me, she's always wanted what's mine!' Including you! And she would never, ever choose a man over her career! Even if that man is you, Ethan Marcus!“Why don't you go to hell and forget about me, Shepherd? – and hung up.It was only then that he released the air he had been holding in his lu

" Hey Hey hey! " The brunette shook her arms. – No what if… Don't paint scary scenes in your little head! They end up becoming monsters! Go and just open up to Ethan. I'm sure he will welcome you with open arms. And when I find out you're coming with a freebie... " Norah smirked.“That's what terrifies me, Norah! What will he think? He trusted that I was safe... I don't even know what happened!"But it happened and that's it!" Now go and don't forget to update me as soon as you get it right, ok?"Okay. Wish me luck!"“With Ethan? " the other snorted. " You do not need!She smiled, exchanging a last hug with her friend.She called Ethan's office and was told he was home. Even better. He headed there, barely controlling the chill in his stomach. Luckily, the nausea seemed to have subsided.Ethan sighed. He had done his best not to break everything in his apartment as soon as he entered. He'd had a few shots of whiskey and then the longest shower of his life. She hadn't even called. Make

“You know what they say about a broken heart? " Mark said, holding his beer.He, plus Erick and Lucas, Mark's partner, had dragged Ethan to Tom's bar to try to cheer up.As he stared listlessly at his fourth bottle of beer, Ethan was sure this was the worst day of his life. To think that he wouldn't see Alexis at the end of it...it took his breath away. It made his chest ache, as if a fist had closed tight around his heart."You have to clean your palate!" Mark went on. – You have a lot of Alexis in you! I saw this on How I met your mother!“God, are you getting advice from a TV show, Mark? " Lucas laughed." Mark's stuff... " Erick murmured, between a sip.“Hey, it's a hit series, okay? Otherwise, it wouldn't be on the air for so long! – he defended his point of view. – And what they said makes sense! To cure a love, just get another one!“Mark, my dear,” Lucas interjected, eyeing Ethan's despondent profile. " I don't think this is the time for that.They looked at each other and wer

" And that! I need to organize myself, focus! And sex sure messes with my head! I know you may not understand this, but..."What I understand," he paused, that beautiful frown creeping in again. " is that he's trying to punish me somehow, and I don't know why...Why don't you love me? could have clarified.“But all I want is for you and the baby to be okay. So " now he was the one crossing his arms, in a clear posture that he was upset, but trying to contain himself. " again it will be your way, Alexis!What was she doing anyway? Now she didn't even want to have physical contact with him?Hell! Among so many women in the world, he only wanted that one, the queen of complications! But at least she was free of Amanda Shepherd.I wanted to hug her, tell her I was happy with the baby. I would love to touch your belly! But she didn't seem receptive to such contacts at the moment.But they shared the apartment. Who knows, maybe one day she'll change her mind. Their chemistry was undeniable,

So, presently, he found himself staring at the closed door! She had soon composed herself, whispered good night and disappeared behind the heavy wood.Ethan then laced his fingers behind the back of his head and climbed down. At least he knew she was safe. Her and her baby.Currently, as he sipped a shot of whiskey, he was smiling. Wow, he would be a father. He couldn't wait to share that news with his sister Lenah! She would jump for joy!Feeling exhausted, he took a good shower, in the bathroom right there, on the floor below. The day hadn't ended the way he wanted it to, but it was good for now. Soon he threw himself on the couch and fell asleep almost instantly.Meanwhile, Alexis fried in that huge bed! I was too agitated to fall asleep. He knew well what he needed; a hot, sweaty, long session of sex with Ethan! And that she would not have!" Oh God! Why did I propose this? " then hid her face under his pillow, inhaling his scent. “Because you want him in your life forever and not

It was just before noon. Norah called saying she couldn't have lunch, because the Cobra"Mor was infernal and had her busy. Alexis felt guilty. He knew it wasn't, but he still felt it.Then he made a sudden decision. After ordering a taxi, in less than half an hour I was in front of Ethan's office building. He had never been there before, and found the building luxurious and beautiful.Arriving at the third floor, she was surprised to see how many people worked there. Ethan had a large team, he could tell.He searched the room and found the door with his name on it. In front of her was the famous Mark, absorbed in the computer screen. Ethan spoke of him with great affection and respect. The best secretary in the world, he said." Hello! she called, making him look at her. “ Uh …I'd like to know…if Ethan's around?The boy examined her from head to toe, slowly, and then assumed a serious look:"Do you have an appointment?"Alexis made a face. Should I have called earlier?" No … But isn'

That was no surprise to her. He was tall, his unruly, wavy hair that fell over his sparsely bearded face in orderly disarray made him almost exotic among the uptight. He was manly, a really handsome man! It would be strange if it didn't draw attention.Alexis felt proud to be at his side."Are you just going to eat this?" He pointed at the plate full of vegetables." I found that's basically what I can handle!" A bunch of unseasoned greens! She was biting into a celery stick."Are you taking the medicine the doctor ordered?"“Yes, I started as soon as I bought them. And I noticed that it is in the morning that my stomach is a little more sensitive."And the doctor said it tends to get better with time."" I hope so.Ethan barely contained a sigh, in between a mouthful of his well"done steak. She seemed less tense that day. She still didn't speak very enthusiastically about the pregnancy or more deeply, but maybe that was normal. It had been one thud after another. He hoped that with t

Seven years later...“Noah! – Alexis called from the kitchen. "Don't try to trick me, young man!" I know you're awake! She smiled and shook her head.Soon her little boy, dark, with beautiful and expressive blue eyes and curly hair, appeared. He was the exact copy of his father. Even the heterochromia in his left eye he had. He came with his arms hanging by his sides, dragging his feet and his head down. It was the picture of defeat. But it didn't move her. Every day was the same. And he looked gorgeous in his Buzz Light"year pajamas ..." Mom, why do I have to go to school today? – he retorted. " It's too early, it's raining, it's cold, and I'm still sleepy...“Noah! She grabbed him by the collar of his blouse, leaning down and showering him with kisses, from his rosy cheeks to his neck, where she knew he tickled. " Stop being lazy, boy!" Stop, mother !" – he scolded, squirming to get rid of her hands, while trying to hide his laughter and keep an angry face.With one last kiss on h

She nodded in agreement, seeking support in her husband's arms, she braced herself." Now. Come on, it's almost there, Alexis... " encouraged the doctor.Ethan was all agony. He hugged the woman's hard body, holding her tight and praying to heaven that it would all be over soon." Ready! – the doctor exclaimed. – A perfect baby… And with great lungs!And then they heard the little one's desperate cry. And Noah was in the world. Alexis collapsed onto the bed, smiling, her body completely given over to exhaustion now.Ethan, as soon as she was seated, went searching for his little treasure.When his eyes landed on that tiny creature that was now wrapped in a towel by the nurse, he could never put into words what he felt at that moment. It was a feeling that everything in life finally made sense. That everything was complete! And that his love for that tiny piece of people was so immense, so intense, that he would give his life for him, without even blinking.Without realizing it, he had

Alexis sighed and stroked her enormous, nearly nine"month"old belly. As usual, he couldn't help but smile. She could not even believe that she would soon meet her already very beloved son! And thank heavens for having the smoothest of pregnancies. A little nausea or other, but nothing that bothered her too much. Now that she was heading for the final stretch, she was feeling more uncomfortable, her legs more tired, her back that wouldn't let her sleep, or sit, or walk, but still, nothing could take the smile off her face. I was delighted! And seeing the happiness of her beautiful husband, every time he looked at her or caressed her belly and talked to her little one... She asked herself if she deserved so many blessings!Ethan insisted, as did Godmother Norah, that she stay home and rest, but she just couldn't sit still. Like now, when they finished an arrangement that would be delivered the next day, and they were already closing the office. When she felt that her body was asking for

But I knew something was missing. Even though her adoring husband didn't push her, it was no secret how much he wanted a baby. Alexis also avoided talking about this subject, as he was still too afraid to go through that situation again. But every time she saw how much love he treated his little godson, son of Eric and Eileen, the more her heart sank.So, a few weeks ago, without telling him, she had stopped taking the contraceptive… And then came the main gift she planned to give him.Grasping the handle, Alexis bit her lip and slowly opened the door.Ethan looked up at her as she walked in and leaned against the closed door, hands deep in his coat pockets. With that so beautiful, sensual and beloved sexy smile in the corner of his lips, he examined her completely and slowly:"Hmm... Especially... And those red shoes..." His pretty white teeth showed as he widened his smile. "Can I take my clothes off now?"Alexis bit her lip again, throwing her head back, in a short sensual laugh, s

" Excellent! " and headed for the stairs. "Because all I want is to take care of you!" You must be exhausted! " already in the bedroom, he placed it carefully on the sheets. "You've had a surgical procedure, you shouldn't be walking around!" He feigned an angry expression as he freed her from her shoes.Alexis laughed and stretched out her arms, beckoning him with her hands:" It's because I needed to see you today!Ethan also quickly got rid of his shoes and went to her side:" All you had to do was call me, and I'd be back on my own axis, to you!They stared at each other for a long moment, as if memorizing each other's faces. Arms wrapped around each other, bodies very close together. As if they were one." I love you! Alexis whispered, lost in his blue eyes. "And I would give anything to be able to make love to you…" She nibbled lightly on his lip.Ethan closed his eyes, holding a sigh in his chest.“What's a few weeks? " he himself seemed not to feel firmness in his words. "And t

'It wasn't your fault, Alexis!' Ethan stated, exasperated to see her in that state, reaching for his hand. “It was natural. The doctor told me..."But I rejected him one day!" " she interrupted him, excited, fleeing contact. "And God punished me by taking him away from me!" And I'm sorry if I let you down... " he added in a thin voice, lowering his head."You didn't let me down!" He softened, this time clasping her hands in his."But you wanted this baby so badly!" She looked at him, dejected."Yes, but that wasn't in your hands!"Alexis raised her teary eyes to him. They looked desperate, anxious. And then the words came out:"Ethan, I love you!" So much! His voice was serious. " You have become the reason for my life! But even feeling this way and feeling this way,” she subtly released her hand from his. "I can't impose myself on you...Wow! What was going on there? Alexis Morgan had just confessed that she loved him? Ethan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears!But

Ethan turned as Norah returned to the living room. But even without the other saying anything, she knew the answer and sighed."You know her, don't you, my friend?" " lamented the brunette."How is she, Norah?"“In a deplorable state, Ethan! Of all the blows she's taken in the last few days, I believe this was by far the biggest blow.Ethan collapsed on the couch:"She was so happy lately!" This is all very unfair! he whispered, anguished. "I need to see her!"“Better not, Ethan!“Damn it, it's my wife, Norah! I have to be by her side now!"I don't think she wants you to see her the way she is, Ethan!" She is really devastated. Give her a break, buddy!He looked at Norah, his blue eyes even more intense. Then he let his shoulders tense and rested his head in his hands."I've never felt so helpless before!" I do not know what to do...The brunette sat next to him, caressing his shoulder:"You'll come out of this situation stronger, Ethan!"" It will be? I don't really believe in it...

“She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her? He indicated the door."He's asleep, but I am not convinced that's a problem."He put his hand on the doorknob, but stopped himself, taking several deep breaths. Then he straightened up and turned the piece of metal, very slowly."Norah, can you call the doctor, please?" – the brunette asked softly. "I'd like to speak with him."" Yes, of course…Ethan walked in and closed the door, carefully so as not to make any noise. The room was in shadow. Everything very silent. But he could see Alexis's silhouette, huddled in the middle of the white sheets. She looked so small in that bed!What the hell! Your Alexis… your baby! He covered his mouth and nose to stifle an agonized scream. It would have to be strong! He repeated to himself. F

" The baby? Ethan's question was asked very quietly, as if he already knew and didn't want to hear the answer.The woman shook her head slightly in the negative." Oh God! he gasped, as if he'd taken a powerful blow to the stomach.Then he would bend over, bringing his hands above his knees, as if gasping for air.“I'm so sorry, Ethan! " Norah came to hug him, no longer holding back her tears." My God! " he was too agitated to be able to stay in a hug, so he accepted the touch quickly and pulled away, studying his friend's features. " And Alexis? She is fine?“He's sleeping now. They had to do a curettage, I think that's the name. She's sedated now.“She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her?
