Chapter 116

Ethan

The 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.”

    Daniel Panic 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.

    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

    Ethan A sharp, throbbing pain in my arms pulled me out of sleep. I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut for a moment before forcing them open. The bright light in the room made my vision blur and I had to blink several times to adjust. I tried to sit up but the pain in my both arms shot through me like fire, forcing me to collapse back onto the bed. A dull ache pounded in my skull and my throat was very dry and it felt like sandpaper. I needed water. I glanced around but there was no one in the room. As my senses slowly returned, I glanced around the room again, taking in the sterile white walls and the steady beeping of a heart monitor and then, I realized I was in the hospital. Then, like a flood, the memories rushed back and I remembered everything and how I passed out in Sonia's arms. My chest tightened. Sonia, Jay... Were they safe? I turned my head, searching for any sign of them but the room was empty. A wave of frustration hit me as I needed to know if they were okay

    Ethan The soft sound of the door opening made me look up. Sonia walked in, carrying a bag of food. She placed it carefully on the small table beside my bed and pushed it closer to me. I sighed. I didn’t want her to go through all this trouble for me but I knew how stubborn she could be. Once she made up her mind about something, no one could stop her.She turned to me with a gentle smile. “It’s time to eat.” I hesitated as I could already feel the embarrassment creeping in. With both of my arms wrapped in bandages, I knew I couldn’t feed myself and I hated feeling helpless. Sonia must have realized it too, because she suddenly gasped and said, “Oh… I’m sorry, I forgot you can't make use of your hands for now." She smiled. "I will feed you." Her voice was soft, filled with genuine concern and before I could say anything, she carefully helped me sit up, adjusting the pillows behind my back for support. Then, she took the tray of food and placed it on the overbed table, re

    EthanThe aroma of food woke me up from sleep. For a moment, I just lay there, taking in the warmth of the room. Then, I turned my head and saw Sonia in the kitchen.I frown slightly. Is she making food? Goodness! She is not supposed to be doing anything stressful. She is supposed to be resting. I have already planned to call Vanessa or Gloria to come over today and take care of things but knowing Sonia, she wouldn’t listen. As if sensing my gaze, she suddenly turned around and as our eyes met, I suddenly felt butterflies fluttering in my stomach like a high school boy who is seeing his crush for the first time. Damn! She smiled. “Oh, you’re awake.” Her voice was soft, warm just like it used to be. I nodded as I continued staring at her beautiful face. “Good morning,” she said. “How are you feeling?” I cleared my throat and nodded. “Better and you?” “I’m fine,” she answered with a small smile. “Hold on, I’m almost done cooking.” She giggled as she continued her cooking

    Alex "Sonia… I'm sorry!" I called out, my voice filled with desperation but she didn’t stop. She just kept running. Fuck! I ran after her, my heart pounding but before I could reach the garage, the sound of an engine roaring to life made me freeze. No… I watched helplessly as Sonia sped out of the driveway, disappearing into the busy road. "Dammit!" I shouted, raking my fingers through my hair. I didn't mean for things to go this far. I didn't mean to force myself on her. I am not that kind of man. But Sonia… Sonia is driving me insane. She kept pushing me away and I am losing control. I am losing her. I spun around and stormed back to my office, grabbing my phone off the desk. My fingers trembled as I dialed her number. The phone rang but there was no answer. I called again but it was still the same thing. I sent a text. Then another. Then another but no reply. I knew she must be angry with me right now. Dropping my phone onto the desk, I let out a frustrated sigh

    CelineI drove out of the hospital with a smirk tugging at my lips. Foolish Tina. She believed me again, just like always. But this isn't over yet. I have to deal with Sonia and fast. Tina shifted in her seat. "Drop me off at Alex’s mansion," she said. I glanced at her, raising a brow. "You’re still staying there?" She shook her head. "Not for long. I’ve secured an apartment. I’ll be moving in next week." I scoffed. "Why not stay with Alex? You know, Men can not be trusted, Tina." She gave me a small smile. "I trust Alex. Besides, I don’t want people talking." Well, I don't want to argue with her. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine." Minutes later, I pulled up in front of Alex’s mansion. As she stepped out, she turned to me, concerned flickering in her eyes. "You should get that cheek treated. It’s still swollen." I forced a smile and nodded. "I will." She shut the door and I sped off. Going home isn't an option for me now. If my parents saw my face like this, t

    CelineA sharp sting spread across my cheek as I held my face, my fingers trembling against the burning pain. I knew without looking that my skin was already swelling, Sonia’s fingerprints imprinted on it. Sonia. That pathetic excuse for a woman actually has the nerve to slap me? My blood boiled. "You dare lay your filthy hands on me?" I hissed, my voice shaking with fury. "And you even have the audacity to call me a whore with that stinking mouth of yours?" Sonia’s eyes blazed with confidence, something she never had before. It sent an uneasy chill through me. "Are you not?" she shot back, folding her arms. "You’re only with Ethan for his money, playing the devoted fiancée while sneaking around like the cheating snake that you are." My stomach twisted. "How… how did she know that?"I forced a smirk, masking my shock. "Watch your tongue, Sonia before I make you regret it." She laughed, a slow, mocking laugh that sent another shiver down my spine. "Oh, Celine," she sai

    Sonia“I’m sorry, Alex,” I said softly, stepping back. “I already told you how I feel about Ethan.” I removed his hand from my waist but before I could take another step, Alex pulled me back, his grip was so strong that I couldn't move.Then, before I knew what was happening, his lips crashed against mine. I gasped in shock, my hands pushing against his chest but he didn’t stop. He kissed me hungrily, like a starved beast, his hands roaming over my body, making my heart pounded in fear. “Alex, stop...” I tried to push him off but he wasn’t listening. He lifted me onto my desk, his hands sliding up my gown. A shiver of disgust ran through me as he cupped my breast, squeezing it softly. No... No... I have to do something. With all the strength I could muster, I shoved him away and slapped him hard across the face. Breathing heavily, I quickly gathered the scattered documents from the floor, my hands shaking. Without sparing him another glance, I turned and bolted out of the

    Sonia"Your wound is healing fast," The doctor told Ethan as he carefully changed his bandages and gave him an injection. Ethan was improving every day but the doctor insisted he stay a few more days to complete his treatment. Ethan has also instructed Dave to call someone to repair the part of the mansion that was damaged by the fire and this morning, Dave informed him that the repairs were already done. I was still sitting beside Ethan when my phone suddenly began ring. "Mommy, your phone," Jay said, bringing it to me. I glanced at the screen and frowned when I saw Alex’s name flashing on the screen. It has been five days since I last texted him about Ethan and Jay’s condition. I even mentioned that I was staying at the hospital with them but he never replied. I called him a few times, too, but he ignored my calls. So why is he calling now? "You’re not answering?" Ethan’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. With a heavy sigh, I picked up the call. "Good morning, Son

    SoniaIt’s been two days since I have been at the hospital. Jay is much better now, finally strong enough to be discharged. But Ethan… Ethan is still in a coma and the longer he stays like this, the more my fear grows. The doctor has assured me he would wake up within twenty-four hours, but it’s been forty-two hours and there is still no sign of him opening his eyes. God, please… let him be okay.“Mom, Dad is still not awake…” Jay’s small, worried voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I quickly wiped away my tears, forcing a smile as I turned to him. “Yes, sweetheart, but the doctor said he will wake up soon,” I reassured him, glancing at Ethan, who lay motionless on the bed. Jay sniffled. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I put Daddy in this mess…” His voice cracked and tears slipped down his cheeks. My heart ached. He has been blaming himself since he woke up and no matter how much I tried to convince him it was an accident, he wouldn’t listen. He barely ate and barely slept, He just kept

    SoniaMy heart was beating so fast, I thought it would stop. Jay is upstairs. My baby is up there and the house is on fire. What am I going to do?I wanted to run to him but I couldn’t even breathe. Thick smoke filled the entire living room. My eyes burned and every breath felt like fire in my chest.“You have to go outside!” Ethan shouted at me, grabbing my hand.“No! Jay is still up there!” I coughed hard, tears mixing with the smoke in my eyes. “I can’t leave him!”The guards rushed in. Ethan turned to them quickly. “Call the fire service now!” he yelled, his voice full of fear.Then he pointed at one of them. “Take Sonia outside. I’m going to get Jay.”“No, please!” I tried to stop him but I was already choking. I couldn’t see anything clearly anymore.One of the guards pulled me toward the door. I didn’t want to go but I couldn’t fight him. My legs were weak and my lungs burned.As soon as I got outside, fresh air hit my face. I dropped to my knees, coughing and crying at the sa

    SoniaThe ride to the office was painfully quiet. Alex hadn't said a single word since we left his penthouse. He just kept his eyes on the road, his jaw clenched, his hands gripping the steering wheel like he was holding himself together. The silence was suffocating. I shifted in my seat, stealing a glance at him. I could see the storm behind his calm expression. He wasn’t just upset, he was heartbroken and I hated that I was the reason for it. I never expected Alex to propose to me again and not when my heart still belonged to someone else. Maybe I should have been clearer from the start, but deep down, I think I knew. I knew he had feelings for me and still, I let him get closer. Maybe I was selfish… or maybe I was just lonely. But I couldn’t keep pretending. Not with Alex. He didn’t deserve that. I turned him down again and it broke his heart. I saw it in his eyes. The truth is, I still love Ethan. As crazy and painful as that sounds, it’s the truth. Despite everythin

    Alex "You mean after making me come late to work, you still want me in bed?" Sonia's soft laugh echoed from inside her office, slicing through my heart like a dagger. "You're so naughty, Ethan." I froze. My blood boiled instantly, rage climbing through me like wildfire. My fist clenched so tight I could feel my nails digging into my palm. Sonia… and Ethan? Sonia has been sleeping with Ethan and she pretended she didn't have any feelings for him? “Fuck,” I cursed under my breath, slamming my fist into the wall beside me. The pain didn’t even register. All I could see was red. So, all this time, she was just playing along? Is it all an act? Is Ethan the reason she kept me at arm’s length? And I thought she was beginning to fall for me. God, I’m a fool. I took a shaky breath, trying to calm myself. Well, This didn’t change anything. No, it only made me more desperate to make her mine. If plan A doesn’t work, then I will go with plan B. Either way, I am claiming Sonia one w
