[MY DEAR READERS, TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUOUS SUPPORT AND TO CELEBRATE THE NEW MILESTONE, I WROTE A FREE CHAPTER FOR YOU. HOPE YOU’LL LIKE IT]“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” Ethan growled staring daggers at Nathaniel Jacobs...“I know you’re a powerful man and you can wipe me off the face of the earth, but I also know you’re powerful enough to get me back my life.”Ethan chuckled darkly, “No shit.”“I know he’s a pain in the ass but please hear him out. Then decide later.” Micheal pleaded.“You have five minutes, you better make it count,” Ethan said coldly.“Well, I don’t think we’ve met officially. My name is Nathaniel Jacobs. I’m Zoe’s father’s friend and her ex-husband” He laughed. Finding it amusing. Ethan looked at the guy and he looked younger than he claimed to be. He didn’t look past forty years.“I know what you may be thinking. But I had surgery. I had to change my face because it was only a matter of time before they found me. In fact, I was going to die

“I don’t give a damn what the world thinks, Rose. They don’t know you like I do.”She let out a shaky breath, her eyes flickering with doubt. "But it doesn’t matter what you think, Ethan. This—” She gestured to the laptop. “This is out there for everyone to see. Yesterday I was only a simple girl with no attention to her name but look at what’s happening, now the whole city is talking about me and they think I’m a murderer."Etha felt pained as he looked at Rose, “Do you regret what we did?”“What?”“Do you regret going public about us?” He asked in a half-whisper.Rose pulled away from him, her eyes facing everywhere but him, “I… I don’t know honestly.” “Rose,” “I just want to be left alone, please.”Ethan stood, creating space between them. His jaw was hardened in displeasure, “So this is it?” He gestured with his hands, “One problem and you’re already balling out?”“I’m not balling out, I just need to think alone,” Rose responded defensively.“I just hope you’ll learn to let m
The office door swung open, and Ethan stormed in. His face was a mixture of rage and worry. His eyes darkened as he saw Rose's broken state, her fragile figure trembling on the carpet floor.He had an emergency board meeting because the stocks crashed after the news went viral. Investors were threatening to pull out if he didn’t end things with Rose but he wasn’t shaken and only gave them an angrier warning to have them replaced within 24 hours. Imagine the shock when he told them the engagement pics were just something they were doing for the sake of going public because they had already been married for over eight years.Ethan did many things but never made empty threats and they knew it. No one would want to partner with Ethan’s enemy, he demonstrated the outcome many times and none of them was strong enough to go up against him. "Rose," he said, his voice deep but a soft whisper. He rushed toward her and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as if to shield her from the
"Rose, did Ethan and you divorce? I've just seen him on the news. It says he went to pick up the love of his life.” Natalie, Rose's best friend asked.“What are you talking about?” Rose half laughed. “Girl, turn on the news. Now!” Natalie said and cut the line.Rose was sure there was some sort of mistake but when she rushed to the sitting room and turned on the TV, her knees felt weak and her heart sank to her feet.Sure enough, pictures of her husband and a very beautiful woman were trending. The pictures showed how Ethan was looking at the woman with a gentle gaze. With his hand on her waist.Rose's heart sank even further as she felt like someone was pricking her with needles.'He's never looked at me that way,' she mused.Reporters had surrounded them as questions were thrown their way, “What a beautiful couple, is she the mysterious wife you've kept hidden Mr.Sinclair?” One reporter asked.“You two suit each other! A match made in heaven. Do you have any plans for your third a
A soft knock woke Rose as her eyes fluttered open slowly. She had a slight headache from crying the previous day. On her bed was a bouquet of Roses with a note which read, [I’m sorry about yesterday, Happy 3rd Anniversary.] A smile stretched Rose’s face as she lifted the flowers to smell them. She was allergic to Roses which was funny because her name was Rose. But she held them with a full heart, ‘He must have been in such a hurry that he forgot about my allergy.’ she thought just as Ethan walked in. “Good morning,” He said. “Good morning, thank you for the flowers,” Rose responded. Ethan nodded as he sat on the bed, “You wanted to say something to me last night?” Rose’s eyes lit up, all pain forgotten as she placed the rose flowers on the side table and picked up the zip bag where the positive pregnancy test was, “Yes, I have some news. Ethan, I’m-” Her sentence was cut off by a knock on the door. “Just a moment.” She said to him and walked to open it and found that it was A
“Rose, are you sure you’re okay?” Natalie asked.Natalie had rushed over to her house the following day to check on her best friend. She was very worried, especially after seeing the news.Tears formed in Rose’s eyes as she held her best friend's gaze. Words couldn’t form so all she could do was shake her head as the walls came crashing down. “You saw the news, Natalie, My marriage is about to end!” She buried her face in her hands her heart tearing into shreds of pieces. “Because of that bitch? She’s so shameless! Hanging onto a married man like that? Just say the word and I’ll give her a very friendly visit!” Natalie held Rose in her arms.Rose knew her friend was anything but friendly and that made her laugh. She peeled away from her and wiped her tears, “Ethan seems to be still in love with her, I mean you should have seen how he almost flew when she called yesterday!” “And you’re just going to sit and watch her snatch what is yours?” Natalie asked in disbelief.Rose sighed, fe
“How do I look, Ethan?” Rose turned to show Ethan how the dress he had gotten her fitted her perfectly.Rose was shocked when she came back from bathing and found a beautiful black dress lying down on the bed with a note that read:[Wear this.]Her heart swelled with happiness as she searched for a reaction in his eyes. This was the first time Ethan had paid attention to what she was wearing and she wanted to make it count.“Let’s go.” was his grumpy response as he held the door open. Rose felt a bit disappointed but she sucked it up and walked with him to the car. Alfred was already waiting at the entrance, “I’ll drive.” He said as he took the keys and Alfred nodded.“Yes sir, good evening Madam?” Alfred offered Rose a smile and she smiled back.“Hello, Alfred.” Alfred held the door open and Rose stepped into the car. Once Ethan had sat, she turned to face him, “I actually have some very important news to share at Grandpa’s party,” Rose said happily.“What news?” Ethan asked in hi
