Sonia

The sound of my alarm clock snapped me out of my sleep. I squeezed my eyes open, feeling both nervous and excited.

Today is my first day at Johnson Group and I don't want to be late. I had set the alarm clock last night after I came back to the hotel with Jay.

"Today is a new day," I muttered as I gazed at Jay who was sleeping peacefully beside me.

His innocent face planted a glow in my heart. I could still remember how he jumped around with excitement yesterday at the airport when I told him that we would be staying back in London.

I smiled and pecked him on the cheek before pulling the blanket off me and getting out of bed.

A yawn escaped my lips while stretching my limbs as I made my way to the bathroom. The memories of the previous day rushed in as soon as I stepped into the bathroom and I couldn't help but smile.

After thinking about Johnson Group yesterday and what they are ready to offer, I decided to accept it and I knew I had made the right decision.

    Sonia I know I haven't met her before, why would she speak to me like that? Why would she ask me to watch my back? I didn’t know her, yet her hatred was clear. A part of me wanted to shrug it off, but another part couldn’t stop wondering why. I was so lost in my thoughts that I was startled when I heard from behind, "Don’t worry about her," I spun around and saw a lady, wearing a blue turtle neck gown, walking towards me with a friendly smile. She looked professional yet approachable, with her neatly tied hair and bright eyes. She stepped closer, lowering her voice as if she wanted to share a secret. "That’s Claire. She was standing in as the acting head before you arrived. You know, she always acts as the boss lady and She thought the president would make her the permanent head of the Design departments." She whispered. "Your arrival came as a shock to her," she giggled, smiling devilishly. I was stunned by her revelation. So, was that why she said that to me? Does she

    Sonia. I sat frozen beside Jay who was looking at me curiously. There was no sign of sleep in his eyes anymore as he looked at me with a serious face. I avoided his gaze, My throat tightening, unable to speak.I had dodged this question so many times, but tonight, with the look on his face, there was no escape for me, I had to answer him. I forced a smile and tried to keep my voice steady. “Jay, like I always say, your daddy lives in a faraway country. I promise you will meet him someday.” My voice was barely above a whisper. My chest tightened with pain as I blinked away the tears that were threatening to come out of my eyes. It broke my heart to keep on lying to him about his father.How can I tell him that he has met his father already? What would be his reaction when he knows that Ethan is his father? "That’s what you always say, mommy. When will he come? Is there no date?" His question sent a shiver down my spine. Jay is growing up and becoming more wise. He must have suspe

    Chapter 19Sonia I was engulfed with fear when I saw the car about to overtake me. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would soon burst. I don't know who they were and why they were tailing me. "I can't allow them to get me," I murmured, stepping on the engine.I couldn't stop when I got to Jay's school. I don't know if they were after me or my child. The thought of losing Jay made my hands shake. I held the steering wheel tighter, pressing harder on the gas and speeding up. When I got to T-junction, I quickly made a sharp U-turn, my tires screeching loudly. The car behind me turned as well, following closely. My heart raced faster. I didn’t know what to do. I just kept driving, hoping something would stop them. And then it happened. A big truck pulled into the road, blocking their way. The black Lamborghini stopped suddenly, its horn loudly as the driver tried to get the truck to move. I looked back and felt a little bit of relief. They couldn’t follow me anymore

    Ethan "Those bunch of fools had just proved to me that they are not capable of finding Sonia," I muttered through gritted teeth as I brought out my phone to dial Kyle's number. Kyle is my underground secret agent. There is no information he couldn't get within 24 hours. "Ahh, why didn't I think of him before?" I groaned, dialing his number. "Good evening, boss." He greeted me as soon as he picked up the call. "I want you to gather information about someone for me within 24 hours," I ordered, my voice filled with urgency. "I will send you the details. "Alright, boss." I opened my drawer and brought out Sonia's picture after sending Kyle every detail he needed to find Sonia. Holding the picture in my hand, I smiled. This picture was the only thing I had of Sonia ever since she left. I always look at it whenever I am missing her. I was busy admiring her beauty when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I said, keeping my voice steady while still admiring Son

    EthanMy heart thumped in my chest as I paced towards the school playground where Jay was playing with other children. I was getting closer and about to call him when he suddenly turned around. The moment he spotted me, his face lit up and a wide smile formed on his face. He ran toward me with his arms open. “Mr. Ethan!” he called out, his voice filled with excitement. My heart swelled with joy. I dropped to one knee, embracing him as he threw his small arms around my neck. I held him tightly, and for the first time in a while, I felt a kind of happiness I couldn’t explain."I have missed you, Jay.", I whispered with a smile. Some of the teachers who recognized me came to greet me with a bow. They were stunned at how Jay looked exactly like me. One of them asked if Jay was my son but before I could respond, Jay swiftly answered, telling them that I was his father. His response bloomed in my heart. We went to a quiet place and Jay pulled back slightly from my hold, staring at m

    Ethan “I’ve never met my daddy before,” Jay said softly, staring at the ground. “Mom always says he lives in a faraway country.” His words hit me like a punch to the guts, breaking my heart into pieces. The sadness in his voice made my heart ache in a way I couldn’t describe. I clenched my fists under the table, fighting the anger and guilt rising inside me. I'm his father. How could Sonia keep him away from me like this? He deserved to know me, to feel a father’s love. No, I have to find a way to be in his life before it's too late. I leaned forward, trying to keep my voice calm. “Uhm.... I'm so sorry for that." "It's okay." He shrugged his shoulders, "I'm used to it already." I sigh softly before asking him, "Jay, can you tell me where you and your mom live? Uhm... So that I can check up on you. You know, we can even hang out sometime. Or what do you think?" He looked at me with a smile on his face, but his eyes held a clever glint. “Mom said I shouldn’t give strangers our

    Celine I stared at Tina, shocked by her audacity. She already owned 20% of the family company even though she's an illegitimate child of the Adamson, yet she still had the guts to demand to be made the CEO? How greedy could she be?I wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of her demand, but I held it. I couldn’t afford to show my frustration. If getting Ethan meant playing along with Tina for now, I would do it. Though, Deep down, I had my own plans for her. She wasn’t going to get away with this. “Fine,” I said, forcing a smile. “I promise to make you the CEO when I marry Ethan.” Tina’s face lit up with satisfaction, and she leaned back, crossing her arms smugly. “Mmmm... Good girl. You have made a good choice, Celine. You won’t regret this.” "Regret?" The word echoed in my mind. No, Tina. You’re the one who’ll regret this, I promise. She leaned closer to me, glancing around to make sure no one was seeing us before lowering her voice. “Since we’re being honest, you should kno

    Ethan.I haven't been to the club for a while now as the only thing on my mind was Sonia. But today, I was happy after the good news I got from Kyle so I decided to join my friends at the club.I stepped into the club with my heart filled with excitement. The music was loud, the girls giggled with excitement when they saw me. Some even tried to flirt with me but I ignored them as I made my way to our usual spot. My friends were already there, drinking and laughing but as soon as they saw me, they exclaimed, hailing and calling my name. I sat down with them and ordered a drink. Tony looked at me curiously. “Ethan, what’s with that big smile? You look like a guy who just hit the jackpot.” He joked and they all laughed.I chuckled, pouring myself a drink. “Sonia’s back. She’s here in London.” I said, my voice filled with excitement. The table went silent. They all stared at me as if I had just announced that I had seen a ghost. I don't blame them, I understand their shock. I mean T

    Céline Sonia is in London and she has a son?My hands trembled as I stared at Sonia. My mind screamed at me to stay calm but I couldn’t. I swallowed hard, my gaze shifting to the small boy beside her. My breath caught in my throat. Why did he look so much like Ethan? The resemblance is undeniable. They have the same sharp features. The same deep-set eyes. The same damn expression Ethan used to have when he was a child. No, It’s not possible. Sonia wasn’t pregnant when she left five years ago. I am sure of it but then… my stomach twisted as a new thought hit me. That was the boy I saw at the hospital the day I went to see Ethan. Which meant Sonia must be there too. My heart pounded at the thought. So could that be the reason why Ethan wanted me to leave the hospital so quickly that day? Is he hiding something from me? Were they… seeing each other again? "No. No. I must be overthinking. That is not possible." I shook my head violently, trying to push the thought away.

    SoniaMy blood boiled with rage as I stared into Céline’s shocked eyes. “How dare you touch my son with your filthy hands?!” I snapped, my voice trembling with rage. Quickly, I pulled Jay into my arms, shielding him from her touch. Céline continued staring at me, her face frozen in shock as if she had just seen a ghost. Finally, she blinked, coming back to her senses. “Is… is this your son?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief. “Yes, he is my son and don’t you dare lay a finger on him again,” I said, glaring at her. The memories of Ethan with Céline flooded my mind, tightening the knot of anger in my chest. She was the reason Ethan and I separated, the reason my life crumbled years ago an now, she's here again, standing before me, daring to touch my child. The mere sight of her made my hatred for her grow stronger. Céline let out a mocking chuckle, snapping me out of my thoughts. “So, you’re the mother of this little brat?” she scoffed, looking down at Jay with d

    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,”

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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
