Ethan's POV
It's true what they say: play with the Devil and God will make you pay.
I should've gotten rid of her a long time ago. Now she was here tormenting my life, hurting my love ones, and corrupting my household. Some people really knew how to bring out the worst in others. I had done right by her and never made her feel bad about being with me. I was good in every way possible, but I guess some people just can't be satisfied and appreciate shit.
That's why I love Emma. I could be broke today or tomorrow and she'll still be around because she doesn't care about my money.
She wouldn't stay with me if I did her wrong; she was not in it for the money. She was here because she loved me and I loved her too. I promised her that I would be there for her. I promised her that nobody was going to hurt her and the unborn babies again. I didn't break my promises. I didn't care if I would have to climb mountains and walk on water; I would fin
Ethan's POV"I slapped her in the face and called security to capture her. I couldn't believe she hurt Emma like that. She was supposed to clean the bedroom, not attack her!" Halley said in anguish as we sat in a public hospital, waiting to hear about Emma's condition from a doctor.I hated hospitals. Something about them screamed death with their cold halls and rooms. I hated them. I was going crazy and I wanted to kill someone. I wanted to wrap my hands around something and squeeze the life out of it.Why couldn't I catch a break? Why so much hate and anger? What did Emma ever do to anyone to deserve such an attack?I blamed myself. Hiring that maid out of the blue because I was angry with Emma for the miscarriage. I didn't even conduct a proper background check on Hannah like I usually did all my employees.I was so focused on capturing Sharon— the woman who killed my mom— that I forgot all about Emma and what Linda said about Hanna
Emma's POV"Emma you're not getting fat," Ethan groaned for the millionth time."Yes I am. I'm huge. Look at this. This dress can't even pass my chest anymore!""Emma, you're having twins. Of course you'll gain some weight, but baby you're not fat yet.""Yet?!" I cried out.My baby bump was now visible and I couldn't fit into my favorite black dress. Ethan was taking me out to dinner but I was throwing a tantrum because of what felt like sudden, rapid weight gain."Well why don't we just stay in and eat? Have the chef prepare us something special?""You don't wanna been seen with a cow in public?""Emma, stop it. You're not a cow, baby. You're beautiful.""You're only saying that because I'm your fiancee. I feel ugly.""Would you stop. You're not ugly.""Yes I am. You don't even want us to go out.""Emma, fine. Try on another dress and we'll go out.""For everyone to laugh at me wit
Ethan's POVWe arrived in the Bahamas in the afternoon. I knew I should have looked at other options, but I loved it here and I always pictured me and Emma here instead of Sharon. Emma was happy regardless. She wasn't at first but when we got to the hotel and she saw the beach along side it, she was overwhelmed with happiness. She was too excited to even take a quick nap after the flight. She changed into plain jeans, a light jacket and sandals, and we went for a walk along the beach. We got coconut water and Emma drank it down quickly."It's beautiful here," she said as she hugged my arm like a teddy bear.We sat on the sand and watched the small waves crash on the shore. The evening sun made the sky look like a perfect work of art with orange painted all around it. The wind was blowing calmly on our skin."Ethan? Ethan Hollen is that you?" I heard a voice asking from behind us.We turned around to see a tall, medium built woman
Emma's POVIt's quite funny how a guy can promise to never hurt you and say he'll always be there for you and how much he loves you, but all that change when they run into an ex or an old high school sweetheart. They forget you even exist.What he did to me was embarrassing. He was, literally, flirting with Stacy Westbrook right in front of me, and he didn't even introduce me. I expected him to be like: "Hi Stacy. It's good to see you again. This is my fiancee, Emma, and we're having twins."He was so excited to become a father and to spoil the kids, but he couldn't introduce them to one of his so-called old friends? I had every damn right to be upset with him. And instead of making it up to me, he left me alone in the room and took off to God knows where then came back smelling of cheap alcohol five hours later.I didn't want him around me. I couldn't stand looking at his face. I tossed him a pillow and a bed sheet and told him to occ
Ethan's POVShe was huge, especially since she was almost two weeks overdue. The doctor had told me that if she didn't give birth soon he'd have to induce her labor. I hadn't told Emma, I didn't want her to panic. But she was officially a "cow", but she was a very sexy cow. I couldn't tell her that though, it would hurt her feelings and make her cry. She was always so emotional. She literally cried at cartoons. I couldn't understand it but the doctor said it was normal for pregnant women to act this way.Then, there were times she was mad as hell. She couldn't stand the sight of me or even smell. I had to take some clothes of mine to a guest room and sleep there for days, until she calmed down and came back to her senses. All in all, I was blessed to have her and I was treating her like the queen she was. I loved that young woman with every inch and beat of my heart. She was right here at my side, now and forever.I watched her sleeping so peacefully on
Ethan's POVI watched them sleeping so soundly in the double crib in our bedroom. I had redecorated and arranged a bedroom across from ours for them, but Emma wanted them in the room with us so she could keep a very close eye on them. The first pregnancy was unsuccessful and I believed she would become very overprotective of the twins.The twins had come into the world yesterday, July 8th, at 11:04 a.m and 11:07 a.m.Emma's birthday was only four days away and I planned on making it extra special for her and my Nana.As I watched my children Evan's eyes opened. They were a bright gray like mine. I couldn't help but smile as he looked up at me and gave a bright toothless smile. He was silent. He didn't make a sound, only stared as if he were judging me. I was tempted to pick him up and hold him in my arms. The son I'd always wanted was now here in my room looking up at me, and he was perfect.I couldn't help myself anymore.
Emma's POV"I don't want a birthday party," I said to him as we attended to the children."Baby why?""Because I don't want a bunch of people meeting the twins at just a week old. I want to just have dinner here with the staff and Nana.""Okay.""Ethan, you're going to spoil Evan if you keep raising him every time he cries for affection." I watched as my soon-to-be husband took the baby boy out of the crib and placed him against his hard chest.Evan stopped cried and began to smile in the arms of his father. He was already spoiled by Ethan and it amazed me how much he was attached to him instantly, like he had been waiting to meet his dad."I love him and he smells so nice," he said sniffing him, which made me laugh.I picked up Emily and cuddled her in my arms. She was more attached to me than Evan. Evan only wanted my milk but longed for his father's time and attention. I didn't know what I'd
Emma's POVIt was my birthday and Ethan wanted to throw me a party but I just wanted a small get together with my household staff and Nana.I took a shower and put on one of my favorite black dresses. I applied my makeup and combed my hair into a neat ponytail. The children were sleeping in their crib. Ethan came out of the shower wrapped in his towel and another drying his hair as usual."Happy birthday baby," he pulled me into him, kissing my lips sweetly. He was ruining my lipstick."Thank you sweetie."We went downstairs for dinner, leaving the kids upstairs with the nanny. They were too young for the dinner event we were about to have.Nana arrived a half hour later. Halley, the chef and the three evening shift security guards were seated. Wine and food were catered and served to everyone."Happy Birthday to Emma and Nana," they toasted to us."Thank you," I said. "Also, we have an announc
