Falling for the Billionaire Chapter 41
The news spread like a bombshell.Ethan left to work early in the morning before I even got the chance to meet him, so we couldn’t talk about how people took the news.All I knew about was a million likes and comments the post got on Instagram, and how our pictures were displayed on almost every website.Without my consent or knowledge, Ethan also uploaded a picture of me in high school which showed my tattoo along with the one taken yesterday. The news that we’ve been supposedly dating for seven years now was given proof.I also received thousands of messages from our friends, especially from Jen who almost had a fit knowing about our little stunt last night.I have ignored Jess’s calls for a long time but I had to talk to her at one point. She sounded mad but she was also pleased with the outcome. I’m not sure about all but a lot of people now believe that our love is real. I think the fact that I’ve had the tattoo for seven years now proofs that we were together all the while.But

I couldn’t make it to the after-party.I loved watching the movie not because it was my own, but because it genuinely felt good. But I also can’t trust my own opinion on this because my mind can be biased in a situation like this.But I loved watching Zac on screen more than I liked watching myself. I also noticed how my friends paid attention throughout the movie and how appreciative they were after the movie was over. The movie had a sad ending where I end up dying, the whole purpose was to make the movie lasting in everyone’s mind. I think it went pretty well as most of the audience left the theatre with teary eyes.Everything went well, except for the part where Ethan and I were pulled to a side by the media to answer some of their questions. Ethan helped me throughout the interview as they asked about my tattoo and our relationship which was seven years old supposedly.“How was the movie?” Asked one of the reporters, putting the microphone towards Ethan.He grinned and planted a

The quietness engulfed the room.I stared down to my hands, as they weakly held onto the papers. We were officially over now. We no longer were a married couple. We were over and there was no going back.“It’s done,” I said, shaking my head. “We’re over.”“We were over a long time ago, Skylar. We just didn’t realize it.” Ethan said, crouching down across from me. “You should have talked to me about the divorce, Skylar. At least then I would have known I shouldn’t have any expectations from this relationship.”I looked up at him. “I knew this was bound to happen, but I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon. I thought we had to stay together for at least a little more time for our careers at least.”“Don’t try to sound like you regret it, Skylar. I know you wanted this. Honestly, I’m just mad at you because you didn’t say it to me but preferred to tell it to Ben.”“What are you talking about?” I asked him in surprise. I never told Ben anything about divorce.“Ben told me at the party

Since I was anticipating for him to reciprocate the feelings towards me, his words completely took me off-guard. Tears started to well in my eyes,“Why can’t you tell that to me in simple words?”He gave me a small smile and pulled himself off the mattress to hover on top of me. Leaning down slightly, he planted a kiss on my forehead and continued to trail it down my nose. He reached my ear lobe and kissed me beneath it, before pulling away to look me in the eyes.His lips were inches away from mine when he muttered, "Skylar, I love you." He said, and claimed my mouth with his, "I'm so in love with you, Skylar, and I'm beginning to realize that I could never stop loving you. Even when I hated you, I loved you. I knew there wasn't going to be anybody else for because they're never going to be you."Tears streamed out of my eyes at his declaration and he was quick to kiss them away, and then he kissed both of my eyes. "I love you." He said.Every time he said that he pecked me on my lip

I cracked an egg and let it open on the pan. Wiping off the moisture on my forehead with the back of my hand, I prepared breakfast for both of us. I already had a banana smoothie ready for Ethan along with his bowl of fruits. Now I should just get this done perfectly.A pair of hands slid past my hips when I added the omelette to the tray.“What are you doing?” Ethan breathed out, fanning the air across my neck.“Breakfast,” I replied, pulling out a glass to pour the smoothie into.“You never cooked for me before.” He said as I filled up the glass and placed it on the trap.Picking it up, I turned around. “I know. I just felt it like doing it now.”He smiled, but it vanished just as soon. “Hey, are you fine? I mean, after last night..”“Uh.. I..”“I was.. rough. I don’t know if you..”“I feel sore, but just a bit."“A hot bath can fix it.” He continued. “Do you want me to fill in the tub for you?”I looked down at his neatly dressed body and back at his face. He was ready for work and

“I’m in a meeting, Skylar, can you-”“Ethan!” I said, my voice barely recognizable with fear and anxiety. “Ethan you need-”“Are you crying?” He asked, breathless himself. “What-”“Ethan, you need to come home right now!” I yelled into the phone. “Ethan, I don’t know. Someone broke into our house and he’s punching the door, he wants me-”“Skylar, calm down, I’m on my way. Please tell me you are fine.” He said.“Ethan, please hurry. I can’t- they are still here.”“Listen to me, where are you right now?”“I-I am in the gallery. They are in our room, I didn’t know-”“Right. Skylar, stay there. Don’t move an inch okay? I’m sending my men up right now, so don’t worry.”“Okay, but please hurry-”“I’m on my way. Just stay calm.” He said and cut the call.I stayed still in my place, just like Ethan asked me. The punching on the door stopped and I heard footsteps going away from me.Minutes later, the punching returned. But this time, I found myself feeling relieved. “Skylar, it’s me. Open the

“No, all of you are accusing me.” I said, clutching my hair in frustration.“Skylar, it’s part of the interrogation.” Ethan tried to step in and save his friend from my accusation.“No, it’s not.” I said. “They’re here to know what happened. They can’t tell that it is all a hallucination.”“We are just saying that it could be one. We’re not sure either.” Ethan’s friend, who came as soon as he could when I wanted to report the incident, spoke to me in a calm tone.“Then you have absolutely no right to claim your opinion,” I said. “I know for certain that what happened to me was not a hallucination. I can’t explain how they didn’t leave any evidence behind, that’s your job to find out by the way, but I know that I’m not lying.”Owens sighed from the seat across from me. He moved in exhaustion and glanced at Ethan, “Your wife is not in the right state of mind to proceed with the investigation. We should reschedule this to sometime later.”Ethan nodded at him and came to fetch me. Without

“Don’t touch me.” I said, “Please, just don’t say anything.”“Baby, I..”“Please.” I said again, as more tears fell on my cheeks.Pain flashed across his face for a brief moment. He retrieved his hand and looked away. “Alright. But please stop crying.”I sniffled and tried to control my tears but they never stopped. It’s like one emotion nudged another and soon, everything was a mess in my brain.I felt alone in this. Nobody was ready to believe me. They think I’m lying and much worse, that I’m imagining things. I probably wouldn’t have made a big deal out of it if things were different but it’s a serious matter. How can I not worry? Our lives are at stake here.And what’s killing me more from the inside is the fact that Ethan of all people thinks the same. he doesn’t think any different about this situation. he just told me that he is believing what is right. That’s just implying that he thinks I’m wrong. The helplessness of this situation was making me want to churn all the memories

"I missed you guys," I said and hugged the first person I found, who ended up being Jen."I missed you guys, too." she said, wearing a face splitting grin. "how long has it been since all of us met? If I remember it correctly, it was almost four years ago."We were in touch all these years but it was never possible for us to meet all our friends together. It was definitely a reunion we had all been waiting for.Soon, the party started in full form. The guys grouped up near the bar to have drinks and the ladies found a table with the kids to gossip."Oh, look those morons gulping shots like they have no worry in the world." Jen scoffed beside me. "And here we are taking care of the children.""Cut them some slack, will you?" Lucy interjected. "They have pretty stressful job handling work, kids and their wives. Plus, they deserve it once in a while.""Well, hello miss newlywed." Stella said from across the table, "Lucky for you, Zac is the best out of all those dick heads. Although I'm

If there was one day in his calendar when Ethan let me do something for him without him returning the favour - then it was definitely his birthday.It was the day I had always looked forward to, more than anything, since it gave me an easy excuse to do things for him that were bound to make him incredibly happy.I recalled his birthday a few years ago when we flew to Paris to celebrate it. We were making love until midnight, and right when the clock struck twelve, I broke the news to him. According to him, that is still the most memorable and most cherishing moment of his life."We're pregnant," I said, my facing breaking into a huge grin.He was hovering over me, after an intense lovemaking session, and was just about to go for my lips when I uttered the words. I felt his entire body freeze under my palms as soon as he heard them and his eyes instantly shot up to mine."What?" he asked, as though he couldn't believe what he just heard.Only we knew why the news meant so much to us at

“Skylar, this outrageous! It’s been six months!” Ethan complained from the kitchen.“I told you I’m not going to let you touch me until Katie and Kevin are at least five years old.” I said, climbing up the stair to our room.The heard footsteps follow me from behind, more hastily than I mine. As I reached the last step, Ethan pulled me back by my waist and pinned me to the wall.I waited for the wall to hit my head and knock me down, but luckily for me, Ethan already anticipated it and placed his hand on my head.“I cannot wait for another four and a half years to have sex with my wife.” he affirmed. “You know you’re being unreasonable.”I frowned at him. “Hey, you’re not the one who carried twins in your womb. You’re not the one who almost died in labour for two whole days. And you’re not the one who pushed two very persistent babies out of your vagina just six months ago. Do you even know how that feels? Painful. And do you also know who caused that? You!”“Wait, now I’m supposed to

I fell onto my knees at that instant.She’s pregnant.Skylar is carrying my baby.We’re going to have a baby.Our baby.No.No.No.Skylar needs to survive.“No.,” I said. “You can’t let anything happen to her or the baby. Please.” I begged her. “Please save them.”“It’s a very risky job.” She explained. “She has a bullet inside her. And we don’t think a pregnant mother can survive it.”“No.. she can’t just leave me alone. We cannot let our baby die.”“We’re going to give your best. We’ll try to save both of them.” She said.****It has been five hours already. Everyone I knew was in the hospital.I decided to not disclose about the pregnancy to anyone. Although I don’t want to be a pessimist about it, I can’t help but be practical about the situation.I knew that the odds weren’t in my favour. And if just one of them survives through the operation, I don’t want Skylar to know we were ever going to have a baby.Owen thought that was extremely cruel of me to even think about it. But I

I widened my hands and kicked them from behind but the the person was too strong. I heard them asking me to calm down in an instant I turned around to look at them.It was all dark and I could barely spot the standing figure.“Skylar, it’s me.” Ethan’s voice rang in my ears.“Ethan..” I said breathless.The next second, I fell into his arms. He picked my face up and I felt him brush his lips against mine. Tears ran out of my eyes continuously as I clung onto him.“How are.. what are you doing- how did you get here?” I asked him.“I can’t tell you that right now. We need to go-”“She’s here!!!” I heard one of the men yell from behind us. “He’s with her!”I could barely take in some air before Ethan pulled my hand. I sensed him pull out a gun and point it to my head. I widened my eyes in disbelief. What is he up to?“Drop your gun, or she is dead.” I heard him.For a second I wonder if I was truly in the hands of my husband or not. Is he threatening to kill me?“Are you stupid? They kno

“How am I ever going to recognise them!”“They know you.” He said. “That shouldn’t be a problem. Once you go to them, you should obey whatever they say. You cannot-”“Fine.” I cut him off. “But how can I trust you?”“You simply will have to.”“That’s not going to be enough reason.” I said.“Well, I see you have something in mind. What is it?”I drew in some air. “I want you to send one of the girls to Stella. Only then, I’ll come.”“Bloody hell. That’s not-”“That’s the only way I can trust you.” I said. “I’m just asking for you to send one of them. You can still have one girl to use against me, don’t you? I will come for her.”There was a long pause.I gave him the time to think. I knew that what I was doing is not right. I knew I should be trusting Ethan but I can’t risk the twins’ life on this. What Ethan can’t find them soon enough? What if Jake hurts them? I could not let that happen.I also knew the twins needed each other at that time. They could be there for each other. But if

I was obliged to stay put inside our confined room for hours. Not a single message. Not a single phone call.Ethan kept himself busy with the search for the girls whilst keeping a bunch of men around our house.I highly doubted if I needed, since Jake would never pull an ordinary stunt like that. He is smart. He is capable of doing something that no one expects. Not even us, who know him better than anyone else.If Jake is really obsessed with the idea of pursuing me, he will have nothing to do with the girls. He will set them free, but it will have a price to pay.All I want is for Ethan and his men to find the girls before he hurts them and uses them against us. His actions will do no good for anyone. Not even to himself, at a point.I sighed and rested on the couch. Right then, I got a call.“Yes?” I answered into the phone.“Where are you?” Ethan asked.“I am still here in the place you locked me in.”“Can you elaborate?”“No.” I replied.“Skylar.” He called out my name in a warni

“I’m.. Ethan you don’t have to.. I.. uh.. just stop this freaking blood!” I said, uncertain about the words that were lingering at the tip of my tongue. i couldn’t comprehend my thoughts. A part of me was feeling terrible to see him like this. But a part of him was still upset that he hadn't believed it. It wasn't the first time it was happening. He chose to trust somebody else's words over mine and it cost us our relationship.He obviously feels more responsible for what happened. But this was bound to happen anyways. I would’ve been attacked at any cost. Jake and Luke are not the kind of people that would let me go without trying for it a million times. Our only regret is to have Mila and Evie pay for it.“Yes.. just a second.” He ducked down and grabbed something from one of the drawers. He poured some liquid into it and put it too my neck in a hurry.I winced in pain and pushed his hand away.“I.. I’m sorry, did it hurt?” He asked, panic evident in his eyes.Of course, it did!“No

“Get me the girls!” I said, pushing away a pair of hands coming my way.“Ma’am, we need to stop the blood-” one of the men that rushed into the parking lot right after the lights were turned on spoke in a hurry.“Where’s Ethan?” I asked him. “Call him right now! Tell him that the girls-”“What girls, ma’am?” The man asked. “We haven’t seen any-”I stroke my hand right across his face. His face was filled with bewilderment as he clutched the side of his cheek.“I’m not fucking hallucinating! Go check your security cameras and you will find two girls with me. Hoe the fuck does this mall work? Do you honestly not notice when a kidnapper comes in and takes away kids? What-”I cut myself off when I found someone coming my way. In an instant, Stella was before me.“Where are my girls?” Stella asked, looking around. “Where are they? Are they in the car?”“Stella, you need to listen to me. The girls.. The girls aren’t here.” I said in a low voice.“What do you mean they’re not here?” She aske
