Alex

I didn't want to pick up the call at first because I knew exactly what the old man wanted and I was not in the mood for it. But I also knew if I ignored him, he would keep calling non stop until I answered.

"Agh!!" I groaned and finally picked up.

"You fool! Where the hell have you been?" My father's angry voice boomed through the phone.

I slightly pulled the phone away from my ear as he continued shouting.

"Can’t you answer your damn phone when I call?"

I sighed, keeping my voice calm. "I am busy, father..."

"Shut up!" he snapped, cutting me off. "I want to see you at the mansion now!!"

I clenched my jaw. "I... "

But before I could complete what I wanted to say, the line went dead.

I let out a frustrated breath and threw my phone on the desk.

I knew exactly why he wanted to see me and I was not in the mood for another one of his lectures. But before I could even decide whether to go or not, my phone buzzed with a new message.

I picked it up and saw the mess

Um, what part did Ethan personally play in Alex's father's downfall? None? So why make Ethan pay for something his mother did? So much for friendship, even before Sonia reappeared on the scene, by the looks of it. Alex isn't the man I hoped he was.

    EthanIt has been a week since I was admitted to the hospital and to be honest, I loved every second of it as It brought me closer to Sonia and Jay. These past few days have been the happiest days of my life. I got to see Sonia’s soft side again, the way she cared for me, the gentle touch of her hands, the warmth in her eyes when she thought I wasn’t looking and it made me realize how I have been a fool to let her go. I glanced beside me and saw them sleeping peacefully. Jay was curled up between us, his tiny fingers still gripping my shirt even in his sleep. Sonia lay beside him, her face turned slightly toward me. Even in sleep, she still looks beautiful. Her long hair spread across the pillow, her lips slightly parted, her breathing slow and steady and the soft glow of the early morning light made her features look even more delicate. I felt my chest tighten. God, I love her so much. Jay mumbled something in his sleep, shifting closer to Sonia. I smiled, brushing his hair

    Sonia I folded the last of Jay’s clothes into his small bag and glanced at him. “Did you pack everything?”Jay grinned. “Yes! But Daddy’s things are still here.”I chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”Finally, we were going home. I was relieved when the doctor told us Ethan would be discharged this evening. It felt like years since I last stepped into our home and I couldn't wait to return. Caro must be sick with worry by now. I sighed. If only I had memorized her number, I would have called her sooner. Oh! Did I mention that Ethan bought me a phone? Yes, he surprised me with the latest model and not just that, somehow, he managed to retrieve my old line, the one Daniel had destroyed. I still don’t know how he did it, but it left me speechless. These past few days with Ethan had shown me a side of him I never thought existed. A soft, caring, thoughtful side. I couldn’t deny that I enjoyed it and Jay, he was the happiest I had ever seen him. His laughter had filled

    SoniaThe warm sunlight that shone through the window pulled me up from sleep. I yawned, stretching my limbs before slowly sitting up. I glanced at the clock, it was 8 AM. I didn't mean to sleep this long but after everything that has happened, being back home felt like a relief. I just realized that no matter what, there is no place like home. Suddenly, the door burst open and Jay ran inside, his face lighting up with a bright smile. "Good morning, Mommy!" he greeted, wrapping his little arms around me. I hugged him back, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well?" Jay nodded with a smile. "Yes! But, Mommy, I’m late for school!" He grabbed my hand, urgency in his voice. "I haven’t been to school for long and I miss my friends!"My heart ached when I heard him. I knew Jay loved his school so much but after everything that happened, I couldn’t let him go back there again even though the school has reached out to me, apologizing for what happened b

    SoniaI looked up and to my surprise, Alex walked in, a charming smile on his handsome face and a bouquet of fresh lilies in his hand. I blinked in astonishment. "How did he know I was in the office today?" "Good morning, beauty," Alex teased as he strode toward me with a smile. I shook my head with a small laugh. "Good morning, Alex."Tara, who stood beside me, quickly bowed in greeting. "Good morning, sir." Alex acknowledged her with a slight nod before turning his full attention back to me. "I’m really happy to see you back at work," he said warmly. "The whole office has missed you so much." Then, he extended the bouquet toward me. "I got these for you. Thought they might brighten your day." A smile tugged at my lips as I took the flowers from him. He always knows how to put a smile on my face.I lifted the bouquet closer and inhaled deeply. The soft, sweet scent of lavender, my favorite, filled my senses. My heart warmed at the kind gesture. I glanced up at Alex, curio

    SoniaAs I drove into the compound, my hands were still shaking on the steering wheel. My heart pounded against my ribs and my mind raced with fear. Was that really Daniel? Could he still be alive?I parked the car hastily and got out, glancing around as though expecting to see someone lurking in the shadows. My only concern right now is Jay. I need to make sure my son is safe.I rushed to the front door and knocked. Within seconds, Caro opened the door with a bright smile. "Welcome back, ma'am..."I ignored her greetings. "Where’s Jay?" My voice slightly trembled but filled with urgency as I stepped inside. Caro blinked in surprise but quickly recovered. "He’s eating.""Mommy!" Jay’s voice rang from the dining room, and before I could turn, he ran straight into my arms. A deep sigh of relief escaped my lips as I hugged him tightly. His little arms wrapped around my waist, grounding me in a way nothing else could. I pulled back slightly, cupping his face. "Are you okay?" H

    Sonia I clenched my fists, trying to steady my breathing. I have made up my mind that Caro has to leave but then Jay’s small hands tugged at mine, his big, tear-filled eyes looking up at me with desperation. “Please, Mommy… Don’t send Aunty Caro away. Please forgive her.” I looked at Jay shocked, I never knew he was crying. My heart twisted. Jay is now used to her. I swallowed hard, my anger clashing with the pain in my son’s voice. I turned to Caro, who was still on her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. I wanted to scream at her, to remind her how badly she had failed me but looking at Jay, I felt my resolve waver. With a deep sigh, I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly. “Fine.”Caro gasped, lifting her head in shock. “Ma’am?”I glared at her. “You can stay.”Her lips trembled, her hands gripping the hem of her dress as if she couldn’t believe what I had just said. “But listen carefully,” I continued, my voice cold. “This mistake must never happen again.

    EthanThe next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Today is important as I have a crucial meeting at the office that needs my presence. After freshening up and dressing in a crisp black suit, I picked up my briefcase and was about to leave when my thoughts drifted to Tina. I haven't seen her since yesterday after she stormed out of my room. I tried calling her multiple times but she never picked up. Something was wrong and I needed to find out what. Instead of heading straight to the dining room, I turned toward her room and knocked on the door. “Who is it?” her voice came from inside, cold and distant. “It’s me,” I said. There was a brief silence before she let out a sharp hiss. “Go away.” I sighed, resting my forehead against the door. “Tina, please open the door. Let’s talk.” “No,” she snapped. “I don’t want to see you.” "What is going on Tina? Talk to me?" "I don't want to see you!" Her words stung but I refused to push further. Letting out a frustrated br

    SoniaI sighed, feeling a little guilty as Jay stomped his feet on the floor while heading upstairs. His small shoulders were slumped in disappointment and I knew he wasn’t happy about being sent away. I turned to Ethan and gave him an apologetic look. “Uh… I’m sorry about that.” Ethan’s gaze lingered on Jay for a moment before he looked at me with a small smile. I could see he wasn't happy about it either. “It’s nothing. I know it must be something very important.” I swallowed hard, suddenly feeling nervous. He is not wrong. What I wanted to discuss with him is important, it's something that has been on my mind for days now. Taking a deep breath, I steadied myself and cleared my throat. “I wanted to talk to you about two things.” Ethan nodded, leaning back in his chair. “Go ahead.” I hesitated for a second before speaking. “It’s about Jay’s school.” Ethan’s expression grew serious. “What about it?” “I’m no longer comfortable with him going there after what happened,”

    Ethan “Wake, wakee!!”I heard a voice and I groaned, half-asleep as I felt someone tapping me softly.Slowly, I squeezed my eyes open and instantly, every ounce of sleepiness in me vanished when I saw Sonia.Her beautiful smile was the first thing I saw this morning and God, it made my heart skip.“Good morning, my love,” she whispered before pressing her soft lips against mine in a tender kiss.I couldn’t help but smile against her mouth.If there is a perfect way to wake up, this has to be it.“Good morning, my beauty queen,” I teased, reaching out and pulling her into the bed with me, making her squeal lightly.I gazed at her, completely captivated by her beauty. Her hair was a bit messy, her cheeks still rosy and her eyes sparkling just for me.She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.“Do you want me to always teach you how to kiss properly?” I teased again, rolling over and pinning her gently to the bed.“Ethan!” she giggled, swatting at my chest. “It’s too early for t

    CelineFuck!!I screamed as I threw my phone on the bed with all the strength I had when I got another messages and calls from my friends, all demanding to know what Was going on with Ethan and me.God! I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t fucking believe it!Ethan… really go that far?He bought that witch a whole company. A whole goddamn company! And as if that wasn’t enough to make me lose my mind, the bastard had the audacity to go online and publicly announce that he had broken up with me and proposed to Sonia.And now? He plans to remarry her in the next two months? TWO MONTHS?!I paced the room like a wild animal, my body vibrating with rage and jealousy. My hands were trembling. My heart was pounding so loud I thought it might explode. Every time I blinked, all I could see was that stupid smile on Sonia’s face and Ethan looking at her like she was some goddess.Disgusting.I grabbed my phone again and stared at the screen. Their photos were everywhere, Instagram, Twitter, and news

    AlexI let out a long breath and dropped the phone on the table. My eyes shifted to my secretary, who was still scrolling through the ridiculous online praise.“Cancel all my appointments today,” I ordered."Alright, sir." He didn’t ask why as he just nodded and left the study room.I stood and headed to my room. I needed to freshen up before the storm arrived. And trust me when I say Celine is a storm, a bitter one at that.After my shower, I dragged myself to the dining table, barely touching the food in front of me. My appetite was gone, drowned by the bitterness rising in my chest.I was just pushing the plate away after taking a bite when my phone buzzed again.My heart thudded in my chest when I saw that it was my dad.He must have seen the news. Nothing ever escapes that old man. He probably already had five plans written up on how I failed and another ten on how I should fix it.I stared at the screen as it kept ringing, my fingers hovering above the phone but I didn’t answer.

    AlexI sat behind my desk with my fists clenched and my jaw locked in anger as my secretary was reading the online comments out loud with his voice filled with excitement like this was some fairytale ending."Ethan is the kind of man every woman dreams of, loyal, rich, romantic. Sonia is so lucky!""This is what love looks like! A man who believes in his woman and invests in her future!""Power couple of the year... Sonia and Ethan are unstoppable!""Sonia is not just beautiful, she’s smart, resilient, and now a CEO of one of the biggest companies... Ethan is a real one for this!""Stop!" I barked, my voice echoing through the office.The room went silent. I could hear my heartbeat thudding like a war drum in my ears.I couldn’t listen to that nonsense anymore. I didn’t need a reminder of how Ethan just flipped the entire city’s attention with one move. I never even saw that company before. Never heard a word about it until now. He kept it so hidden, so quiet.That bastard is just lik

    SoniaI was confused when Ethan drove into a massive building I didn’t recognize.This wasn’t a restaurant. I stared out the window, my brows furrowed. What are we doing here? I had never seen this company before... it looked brand new, with bright banners, and fresh paint and decorators were still working inside.But what really caught my attention was how everyone greeted Ethan with familiarity and respect like this wasn’t his first visit here.I wanted to ask a hundred questions but I held them back. I simply got out of the car and followed him quietly, trying to make sense of everything.We went from the first floor to the second… then the third… the fourth… all the way to the fifth. The building was buzzing with activity. New employees, computers being set up, teams in meetings… I could tell this place was growing but still, Ethan said nothing.Finally, we stepped into a private elevator. He pressed the button for the sixth floor and I glanced at him but his face gave nothing aw

    Sonia“So, Mommy… am I going to have a baby sister?” Jay asked with so much excitement in his eyes. His little hands rested on my still-flat stomach like he was already trying to feel his sibling.I smiled and gently placed my hand over his. “Maybe. You will soon have a baby sister or brother.”Jay’s face instantly twisted into a frown when he heard me. “No, not a brother. I want a baby sister,” he said, pouting and crossing his arms like he already made up his mind.I couldn’t help but laugh at his seriousness. “Anyone is good, baby. We will love them just the same.”Jay has been so overjoyed ever since Ethan told him I was pregnant. The way he jumped around the hospital room, asking a thousand questions, almost brought tears to my eyes. He didn’t even wait for confirmation as he had already taken on the role of a big brother with pride.Honestly, I am still trying to believe that I am pregnant myself.It sounded strange in my head. My body still looked the same. No signs, no change

    EthanThe night felt endless as I stayed by Sonia’s side, watching her closely. Every now and then, she would stir, mumbling something I couldn’t understand, then drift back into sleep. Each time she moved, my heart raced. I informed the doctor about it and he explained that it was the medication and that her body was still adjusting, and still healing. But it didn’t make it any easier to watch her like that.I don't know how long I must have fallen asleep beside her. My head was resting on the edge of the bed, my fingers still laced with hers until I heard her voice.The voice was soft and weak but it was her.“Ethan…” She called weakly.My eyes snapped open. I lifted my head, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. “Sonia?” I said, my voice low and hopeful.She turned her head slightly and looked at me. Her eyes were clearer now. Her lips parted again. “Water… I want water.”Relief flooded me like a wave. “You’re awake,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips. I stood quickly and

    Ethan I sat quietly beside Sonia’s hospital bed, my fingers gently wrapped around hers. The beeping of the machines was soft and steady, proof that she was still breathing, still alive. That alone gave me peace.The doctor had asked me to wait outside, saying she needed rest. But I couldn’t. I needed to see her. After all that happened tonight, I had to be close to her even if it was just to sit in silence. I begged the doctor until he gave in, on the condition that I wouldn’t disturb her.Disturb her? How could I ever?I leaned down and kissed the back of her hand softly. She looked so fragile, bandaged and pale, but she was still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and now, she is carrying my child... Our child.God… I still couldn’t believe it. After everything, after all the pain I put her through... Sonia is pregnant.A tear slipped from my eye before I could stop it.She has brought nothing but light into my life, even when I didn’t deserve it. Maybe this baby is a secon

    EthanHis eyes burned with rage and madness as he raised his gun. I lifted mine but he was quick as he kicked my hand so hard the gun flew out of my grip and I crashed to the ground.Pain shot through my wrist but before I could move, he was standing over me, pointing the barrel of his gun right at my head.“This is the end of the road for you, Ethan,” he sneered, his lips curling into a sick smile. “Like I said… tonight, you die.”I could feel the heat of the barrel on my forehead, but I didn’t panic. I waited just for the right moment.“Not so fast,” I muttered.And with all my strength, I slammed my fist into his chest, sending him stumbling backward. The moment he hit the ground, I quickly stood up and delivered a hard punch to his stomach. He groaned in pain, cursing, but I didn’t stop. I hit him again and again, each blow fueled by every ounce of hatred I had buried in me.I rushed over and picked up my gun.This is it. I was going to end it but before I could pull the trigger,
