EthanI stormed Daniel’s mansion with my men, my body burning with rage. The moment his guards spotted us, they opened fire. "Fools," I muttered, my eyes contorted with rage. I didn’t hesitate as I pulled out my gun, aimed and fired, taking down the bastards who dared to stand in my way. They were nothing but obstacles... mere distractions. My goal is clear and that is to get hold of Daniel. I wanted to be the one to kill him, to put a bullet in his skull and watch as the light fades from his eyes but no, I have something more important to do and that has to do with finding Jay first. I clenched my jaw, my grip on my gun tightening. I turned to Dave, my most trusted man. “Take two of your men and get Sonia.” My voice was cold, unwavering. Dave gave me a curt nod. “And if you see Daniel,” I added, my voice dripping with venom, “kill him.” "Yes, boss." Dave didn’t need to be told twice. He understood. Daniel didn’t deserve to breathe, not after what he did to Sonia... Not
Chapter 116 EthanThe man smirked. “Did you really think you could walk in here and go scot-free?” I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay calm. The rage inside me burned like wildfire but I can't afford to lose control. “I regret not killing you when I had the chance,” I said through gritted teeth. The man chuckled. “That’s why a man should never be too trusting.” His eyes darkened. “Now, hand over the boy or I’ll shoot.” My fingers secretly twitched over the gun in my back pocket. I could take him down in an instant but Jay is too close. If I made one wrong move, he could get hurt. I started to lower Jay to the ground. “No, Daddy!” Jay whimpered, clinging to me tightly. His small hands trembled as he gripped my shirt. His wide, terrified eyes pleaded with me. I cupped his face gently. “Jay, do you trust me?” Tears welled in his eyes but he nodded slightly. “Yes.” “Then do as I say.” Reluctantly, Jay loosened his grip. The man grinned. “That’s more like it.”
DanielPanic swept through the room as the sound of gunfire echoed. My heart raced as I reached for my gun, my eyes scanning the chaos. One of my men ran outside to check and quickly returned, his face white with fear. “What’s going on?” I asked, my voice calm as I tried to keep my frustration in check. “We’re under attack,” he said, almost breathless. Damn it! I knew it. This has to be Ethan's doing. I pulled my gun out, my mind racing. Marcus told me the security is tight so how did they get through? How did they get through my tight securities? I couldn’t waste time thinking about that now. I have to move fast. Gunshots rang out again, and panic spread like wildfire. People screamed, running in different directions, desperate to escape. The sound of bullets echoed through the air. I turned to Sonia, who was frantically searching for an escape before she could make a move. I grabbed her wrist. She struggled, trying to break free, but I held her tight. I grabbed he
Sonia I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Ethan. Like, Ethan is here to save me? It felt like a dream. My heart pounded as relief flooded through me. I have lost all hope of escaping Daniel but Ethan is able to find me. How did he even find this place? Well, that is a question for another day. But then, my relief turned into fear when I saw his right arm wrapped in a bloody soaked cloth. He was hurt. I wanted to ask what happened but there was no time. I have to get away from Daniel first before he does something worse. One of Ethan’s men grabbed my arm, pulling me away. I was ready to run, to leave this nightmare behind but then, I heard a sharp groan of pain. I spun around and my whole body shivered in fear when I saw Ethan as Daniel stabbed him. I froze, my breath hitching as blood poured from his side, soaking his shirt. “No!” I screamed, trying to break free. I fought against the guard who was holding me but he tightened his grip. “It’s dangerous! We have to go!”
SoniaMy body trembled as I held Ethan’s cold hand, my fingers tightening around his as if I could keep him from slipping away. Tears streamed down my face but I couldn’t stop them. "Drive faster, please!" I urged, my voice breaking. The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror and gave a quick nod. “Yes, ma’am.” The car sped down the road, the city lights blurring past us. My heart pounded with every second that passed. Ethan is barely holding on, his breathing weak. The sight of the blood that soaked the seat made my stomach churn with fear. As soon as we drove into the hospital building, the driver quickly parked the car and Ethan’s men wasted no time. They opened the doors and ran inside. Moments later, they returned with four nurses pushing a stretcher. The car door swung open and they carefully lifted Ethan out, placing him onto the stretcher. I jumped out right after, grabbing his hand as they wheeled him inside. His fingers were ice-cold. “Ethan, stay wit
Sonia "Mommy!" Jay’s voice rang through the room as he ran toward me. I blinked in shock as I couldn't believe, "Jay!" I gasped, my heart nearly bursting with emotion as he opened the door and ran towards me. I pulled him into my arms, holding him so tight as if I was afraid he would disappear again. Tears blurred my vision as I felt the warmth of my little boy against me. He is real, He is here. I pulled back slightly, my hands shaking as I checked his body. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Tell me, Jay, are you alright?" Jay nodded with a small smile. "I’m okay, Mommy." But my heart ached in pain as I looked at him, fresh tears welled in my eyes. He was so thin. His once chubby cheeks had sunken in and there were bruises on his arms. My heart clenched painfully. How could Daniel do this to a child? Did he have no conscience? A sob escaped my lips as I cupped Jay’s face, gently rubbing my thumb across his bruised skin. "I’m so sorry," I choked out. "I should have
Sonia The soft creak of the door jolted me out of my sleep. My eyes felt heavy as I forced them open, adjusting to the dim hospital room. For a moment, I panicked but then I felt the warmth beside me and turned to see Jay, sleeping peacefully. A small smile tugged at my lips. I have been singing to him, hoping it would comfort him but I didn't realize when sleep took over. “Good evening, Ms. Sonia.” The gentle voice made me turn and I saw a nurse walk in, the same one who was with the doctor earlier. She had a kind smile on her face as she approached me. “How are you feeling Ms Sonia?” she asked. I rubbed my temple lightly and smiled. “I feel better but I still have a slight headache.” She nodded. “That’s normal for now. I’m here to give you an injection and some medicine but you will need to take them after eating.” I watched as she prepared the syringe and I sighed softly. “Alright.” The sharp sting of the injection made me wince but I remained still. After she ga
Sonia's POV I smiled as I baked the cake with excitement. Today is a special day for me. It's my wedding anniversary with my husband, Ethan. But this year was special, there was something even more precious to be celebrated. I'm pregnant and the thought of it makes my stomach swell with joy. After my miscarriage last two years, I hadn't gotten pregnant since then. I was shocked when the doctor handed me the result and told me that I was pregnant. I couldn't contain my joy as I screamed with excitement. I'm planning to surprise Ethan with my pregnancy result tonight even though Things haven't been going well between us for a while now but I can't wait to see his reaction, to watch his face light up when I told him the news. I spent the entire day preparing as the kitchen buzzed with the aroma of his favorite dishes. The table was set, Everything was perfect and My hands trembled slightly as I placed the final touches, imagining the surprise and happiness in his eyes when he wal

Daniel The sharp beeping of my alarm clock jolted me out of sleep. I groaned, blindly reaching out to silence it with a slap. The noise stopped but the lingering annoyance didn’t fade. Blinking, I forced my eyes open and glanced at the time, 6 AM. A slow smirk curled on my lips. "Today is the day."Without wasting time, I swung my legs off the bed and headed straight to the bathroom. The cold water jolted me fully awake and a rush of excitement coursed through me. I still can't believe that In just a few hours, Sonia would be mine and mine alone.As I stepped out of the bathroom, steam rolling off my skin, I spotted Marcus walking in. He carried an expensive suit in his hands, already dressed in his expensive attire. "Good morning, boss," he greeted me with a respectful bow before placing the suit on my bed. I nodded in acknowledgment, moving toward the mirror as I started getting dressed. "How are Jay and Alex?" I asked, fastening the buttons on my shirt. "Jay’s been
Daniel As we approached my mansion, the security checkpoint unexpectedly signaled my car to stop. My jaw tightened. They had never stopped me before. Everyone here knew who I was, so why now? Didn’t they recognize my car? A police officer knocked on the window. I let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing my temple before lowering the window. “Good evening, sir,” the officer greeted respectfully. I frowned, giving him a brief nod. This man is new... I have never seen him around before. “What is the meaning of this?” I asked, my voice cold. “Why are you stopping me?” “My apologies, sir,” he said, keeping his tone formal. “I’m just doing my job.” My blood boiled at his words but I forced myself to stay calm. I smiled coldly. “Alright. How can I help you?” “We just need to check your car’s particulars… and the trunk,” he replied. My heart pounded. The trunk.They can't check the trunk. If they did, they would find Alex's unconscious body that was stuffed inside. A
