Sonia After dressing up, I decided to take a stroll around the house. Ethan still hasn't returned and I needed something to clear my mind. As I walked through the hallway, my eyes landed on Ethan’s study room. I put a halt on my track. I should just keep going. There’s nothing for me in there but something made me stop. Since I married Ethan, I have only stepped into his study twice. He always warned me to stay out as if he was hiding something. Curiosity tugged at me and before I knew it, my hand was on the doorknob and I was stepping inside. The room was very neat, Rows of books lined the shelves, their spines perfectly aligned. The desk was spotless, not a single file out of place. I wasn’t the type to look through others' things so I turned to leave. But just as I reached the door, something under the desk caught my eye. I bent down and picked it up and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the drawing of me on a paper. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that Ethan was t
Sonia BANG!We suddenly heard a loud sound of the door swung open, slamming against the wall. “What is going on here?!” a furious voice echoed through the room. Ethan and I jumped up, my heart pounding in my chest as I quickly adjusted my clothes. I turned toward the door, and I was shocked when I saw Tina. Her face was twisted with rage, her eyes burning with disgust as they landed on me. “What the hell is happening here?!” she screamed, glaring at me like I was dirt beneath her shoes. Ethan’s jaw clenched. “And what does it look like we were doing?” he shot back, his voice cold and dangerous. I sighed, refusing to let Tina’s presence ruin my peace. Just looking at her brought back painful memories, the humiliation, the suffering, the way she tore my marriage apart piece by piece. “You mean to tell me you brought this thing back into your house after all these years?” Tina sneered, her tone laced with venom. Ethan’s entire body tensed, his fists curling at his sid
SoniaMy heart was burning. It wasn’t just the pain, it was the betrayal, the cruel twist of fate that someone could destroy me so deeply and so silently. What have I done to her, what did I ever do to her to deserve this? Tears slipped down my cheeks, warm and bitter. I couldn’t breathe properly. My hands were shaking. My mind was racing.Tina was the one who caused my miscarriage and the same person who fed Ethan with lies. Tina was the reason my marriage was destroyed. I always knew she didn’t like me but I never imagined she would go this far. I never imagined she would take away my child, my peace, my home.God… how can someone be this heartless? How could she look me in the eyes all these years and pretend she had nothing to do with my pain?“It's alright. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have listen to her, I should have stood by you,” Ethan whispered, his arms wrapping around me gently, trying to comfort me. He wiped my tears like they could wash away the years I lost, the night
SoniaI let out a long, tired sigh as I walked over to the bathtub and turned on the tap. I watched as the warm water began to fill the tub before I stepped in slowly, hoping the heat would help ease the ache in my body. I closed my eyes, letting the water wrap around me but no matter how hard I tried to relax, the thoughts wouldn't stop."Tina killed my child." The words echoed in my head over and over again, each time sharper than the last. I still couldn't believe it. The pain of losing my baby was already too much to bear, but knowing she was behind it? It shattered me all over again.And then Gloria.I never thought she could do something like this. I trusted her. I thought of her as a friend. Sometimes, I even told her things I couldn’t tell anyone else. She saw how much I suffered in that house, how broken I was and she said nothing, not a word.Why? Did she enjoy watching me go through that pain? Did she think I deserved it? I don’t know if I can ever forgive her. Just
Sonia Alex sent the address around noon. It was one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city and it was about a thirty-minute drive from the house. I wasn’t exactly in the mood for lunch but I had already promised him yesterday. Backing out now would only make things awkward and I didn’t want him thinking it has anything to do with Ethan.I wore a simple blue gown, nothing flashy. Just enough to look presentable. I applied a little makeup to hide the dark circles and puffiness around my eyes. I didn’t want anyone asking if I was okay, I was already exhausted from pretending I was.Jay was with Ethan in the study room when I left. I peeked in for a moment and seeing them together made my heart filled with emotion I couldn’t even begin to explain. But I quietly shut the door and walked away.When I got to the restaurant, I saw Alex standing with a waiter, finalizing his order. He looked up and smiled when he spotted me, motioning with his hand for me to come over."You look beaut
Alex I couldn’t believe my ears when Sonia told me Tina was responsible for her miscarriage. Like Tina? I couldn't believe it as I stared at Sonia, stunned, trying to process what I just heard. I knew Tina didn’t like Sonia that much and it's obvious. She never hid her disapproval. But I never imagined she could go as far as hurting an unborn child and she didn't even tell me about it. Why did she keep it away from me? My hands clenched under the table. How could she do something like that? And why? Wait, is it because she couldn’t stand seeing Sonia with Ethan? Or was it just another one of her twisted games? Either way, it is still very bad to kill an innocent child. Well, looking at the brighter side, I could finally use this to my advantage. Yes... You might be wondering how. Well… It’s simple. I’ll let Sonia believe Ethan has something to do with her miscarriage. I will make her believe Ethan is aware of everything and Maybe he was even the one who encouraged her.
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
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 Wow!I couldn’t stop the wide grin that spread across my face as I scrolled through my phone.The internet was on fire. Everywhere, every platform, every blog was buzzing with the news of Ethan forcing himself on a woman.I leaned back in my chair, laughing quietly to myself. The comments alone were something else. Insults, Disgust, Hatred. People were tearing Ethan apart like wild animals.God... Celine really outdid herself this time.How did she even pull this off within a short time? God, It wasn't even up to twenty-four hours!What surprised me even more were the other women, random strangers popping up like mushrooms after rain, all claiming Ethan had done the same thing to them in the past.I shook my head in amazement.Celine is dangerous. That woman deserves a damn award... and a big warning label too. Because if she could destroy Ethan’s image in a few hours, then I needed to be very careful around her.One wrong move, and she could just easily come for me although, i
EthanAfter our steamy moment together, I carried Sonia to the bathroom, not wanting her to lift a finger.She was still breathing softly against my chest, her skin flushed and glowing.God, she is so beautiful.I turned on the warm water and held her carefully, bathing her like she was the most delicate thing in the world.My hands moved slowly, gently washing her body, taking my time to show her just how much she meant to me.She closed her eyes, resting her head against me, smiling sweetly at me and I swear, my heart grew even bigger for her.After I finished bathing her, Sonia smiled up at me again and said, “Now, let me take care of you.”Before I could say anything, she poured soap into her small hands and started rubbing it gently into my hair.Her fingers massaged my scalp slowly, tenderly, making me close my eyes and melt under her touch.She was treating me like I was some kind of king at a beauty spa, and I have never felt so loved... so seen... in my entire life.She poure
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
