Hours had passed and Ethan had still not stepped a foot in the bedroom. Rose was feeling tired and she ended up falling asleep the entire day. She had woken up in the middle of the night and found the side of her bed empty. A part of her was disappointed but the bigger part was worried. She wondered what happened that would make him stay in his study for so long. Knowing how much he hated being disturbed, she decided not to disturb him and went back to sleep.The next morning...Rose woke up feeling very hungry. Sitting up, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes before grabbing the nightgown and walking downstairs.Amanda was cleaning the living room when her gaze landed on Rose, “Mrs.Sinclair.! Good morning!” She agreed cheerfully.“Good morning, Amanda. Have you seen Ethan?” She asked. “Mr.Sinclair left early this morning,” Amanda responded. “Did he say where he went?” Rose asked. “No, ma'am,” Amanda responded.“Thank you,” Rose said as she walked upstairs to grab her phone. Ethan w
Ethan arrived home and rushed straight to the living room. He didn't find Rose, so he rushed back downstairs and found her in the kitchen. He stopped in his tracks and looked at her. She was so focused on the meal she was preparing that she didn't hear him enter. “What's keeping you so busy?” His voice spoke, making a scream escape her throat,“Ahhh!” She looked up and almost dropped the plate, but Ethan was quick on his feet and held her, keeping her steady,“Careful.” His voice whispered in her ears, making a shiver run down her spine.She felt hot everywhere on her body as she pulled away from him, “You're home? I've been worried.” Rose said.“I was busy with work.” Ethan responded vaguely as he took a seat on a counter. Rose sighed. It was always like that with him. He never really told her what he was really doing or what happened. She felt annoyed that she had been so worried about him, and yet he couldn't even bother to update her about how he or where he was. “I called T
“Natalie Blue Watson!” James shouted as he stormed into the office.James Mayhem was a short man with a belly and a mustache. He was the owner of the Mayhem Law firm and Natalie's Uncle. He was a greedy man who loved money and power and built the most powerful law firm in the city through his skills. Everyone moved out of his way and kept themselves busy as he made his way to Natalie's office. He opened it with bang sending it flying to the wall.Natalie looked up from her computer and sighed, “I'll send the bill for that door to your office!” She stated“Don't get smart with me little girl!” James pointed his finger at her, “How could you do that?”“What did I do?” She smiled innocently, her blue eyes shining like she was basking under the sun. James's face was red from anger, “Go to Harper Tech and security and tell them you're their new lawyer!” “What? I would never! And you know it. Those rich snobs take advantage of the poor and I won't go against my principles!” Natalie gla
“You little bitch, I asked you who you were talking to!” The man in a mask walked towards her.“I’m the one you’re after, please let them go!” Dr. Calvin pleaded, blocking Rose from him but he was an old man so it wasn’t so hard to push him aside.The man stood over Rose and kicked her in the stomach making her cry out in pain, “No! Please No!” She turned so he could kick her back and not her child. But it was too late, she had begun to bleed but the man wasn’t stopping.Rose cried as the women stayed silently in a corner afraid of saying anything that might anger him and make him target them. Zane and his men arrived and they began to surround the hospital while the police rushed forward to the room where they were being held hostage.“I’m glad you’re safe! Have you called Rose?” Zane asked when he met Ethan inside the hospital.Guilt flashed in his eyes before he spoke, “She’s one of the hostages.”“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Zane groaned as he took out his walkie-talkie.Before
It was past midnight when Jackie, the nurse in charge of Rose, felt a tap on her shoulder. “You can rest now. I'll take it from here.” Jackie looked at the nurse who was in a mask. She furrowed her brows as she wiped the sleep from her eyes, “I wasn't told there would be a shift change this time.”“You look tired and exhausted, my patient got discharged and I'm yet to be assigned someone else tomorrow. But if you don't want my help-” “Oh no! You're right! I am tired. I'll lie down for an hour. Then I can come take over from you! Thank you so much!” Jackie stretched as she walked out, feeling like her body was hit by a truck. The girl in a mask walked into Rose's room and closed the blinds. She took out the syringe hidden in her uniform, walked over to insert the syringe into the IV drip, and pressed it down, releasing what was inside it.Rose stirred as her eyes opened, “Didn't you just do that a few hours ago?” She asked in a hoarse voice. “This is glucose, you haven't had solid
“Your what?” Ethan asked, shock filled in his voice. He wasn't hurt or bothered, he was just surprised that Zoe had gotten married secretly while she was abroad. “My ex-husband. I didn't tell you because I was ashamed! I got married because I thought it would help me forget about my love for you but,” she sniffed before she continued, “He used to abuse me and beat me up. So I divorced him and came back but my family wants nothing to do with me too!” “I'm sorry you had to go through that. I haven't kept my promise to you but don't worry, you'll never be alone.” Ethan assured her.“So, don't you hate me?” She asked.“No, we will get to the bottom of it.” He said as he stood, “Let me get us some warm tea before we leave.” Zoe nodded and Ethan walked out and disappeared to the kitchen, she looked at his phone as it vibrated and it flashed “Hospital”Quickly, Zoe picked up his phone and muted it. Before she blocked the number and deleted the call log.She heard footsteps and quickly pl
“What the hell are you doing!” Ethan snapped as he took the phone from Zoe, and cut the line.“I’m sorry! I thought... I thought... I’m sorry, Ethan. Please don’t hate me!” She reached out but he stepped back.“You need to leave. I can’t leave you in my home. I’ll ask Alfred to take you to one of my penthouses where you can stay for the meantime as we figure out -” He froze when he looked at the time and realized he had overslept and it was already 4:30 AM. “Shit! How did I sleep for so long?” He grabbed his car keys and rushed out. When he reached the hospital, he rushed to Rose’s room but found it empty. He went to the reception and tapped one of the nurses,“Ethan Sinclair?” Jackie asked.“Yes, has my wife been moved?” He asked, his heart pumping wildly in his chest.“We’ve been trying to reach you since yesterday. Your wife needed you to sign consent for surgery but because you took too long, she lost the baby.” Jackie said, still feeling guilty that Rose suddenly started losing b
Two weeks had gone by, and Ethan was miserable with each day that passed. Tom, entered the office with beads of sweat falling on his face. His hands were trembling slightly because he knew how angry his boss would get.“Sir, we have a problem,” Tom said.Ethan had been standing over his large windows and watching who walked into their building without knowing why. He removed his hands from his pocket and took the tablet from Tom's hand.When his eyes swept over the bold headlines, his jaw ticked, it was a news article with over ten million views and had a headline that read:[ETHAN SINCLAIR DIVORCES HIDDEN WIFE TO REUNITE WITH HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART]Who was the woman he had married, and why had he kept her hidden? Is ……Ethan couldn't even go past the second sentence when he took it and threw it across the wall, making Tom flinch at the shattering sound.“Take all this nonsense down within five minutes! I want all the sources involved to be sued, and their license revoked!” He sneere
