Alex

I didn’t think it would hurt this much to hear her say those words. “I would rather lose my company than accept your proposal.”

The way she looked at me as if I was a stranger or worse, a monster... pierced my heart like a dagger.

I stood frozen for a moment, watching her storm out of my office.

"Hmmm..." I sighed heavily and reached for the cigarette in my pocket. I lit it, the flame caught quickly and I took a long drag, letting the smoke escape through my nose and mouth like poison I couldn’t spit out any other way.

She really said no even after everything? I chuckled, shaking my head.

I have been planning this for weeks and I thought… I truly believed this would be the moment she would finally choose me but instead, she looked at me with pure disgust.

The truth is that, I haven’t slept properly in days since she told me about Ethan and the fire at his mansion and how she was staying with him at the hospital.

Jealousy burned in my chest that night like a wildfire. I couldn’t

    EthanAfter dropping Jay off at school, I drove home straight and I was pulling into the driveway when I noticed Sonia's car approaching. Why is she back home early? I frowned, stepping out of my car slowly.Did she forget something? I wondered, locking my door and turning to wait.Trent stepped out first and rushed to open the passenger door for Sonia and the moment Sonia stepped out, my heart dropped.She looked like someone who had just walked back from hell. Her skin pales, her eyes swollen, her hands trembling as she clutches her purse like it was the only thing holding her together.“Sonia?” I rushed to her, my heart racing in my chest. “Babe, are you alright? What happened? Are you sick?”Her eyes found mine but they didn’t settle. They kept darting around like she was expecting something or someone to jump out at her.“Ethan...” she whispered, her voice cracked and low. “So many things are just happening today... I don’t even know where to start.”I placed my hands on her sh

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Chasing Back My Ex-wife    chapter 1

    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

    Sonia's POV I watched Ethan leave the house, his words echoing in my mind, giving me three days to pack and leave. I wanted to believe that it wasn’t real, that he would come back and we would talk it through. If there were problems between us, I was ready to work them out, to fix whatever was broken. Divorce wasn’t an option for me—not after everything we've been through, not now that I'm carrying his child. I just needed him to come back home, to see me, to see us and to know that I was carrying his child. I sank into the couch that was close to me as I cried like a child with my whole body trembling from emotions and shock."Where do I go wrong? Why can't Ethan love me?" Tears of heartbreak streamed down my cheeks. "Oh, please! Don't act so surprised and heartbroken. Do you think that my handsome and rich brother was going to remain with a lowlife like you? I told you, it's only a matter of time." Tina, Ethan's step-sister said with a sinister smile, rolling her eyes as she str

    Sonia's POV "Sonia was never pregnant." He blurted out, coldly, "The child was the only reason why I accepted to marry her when mother was forcing me. I found out later that she lied about being pregnant just to have me marry her." His voice was cold, cruel, and filled with bitterness. "I knew it. I knew she was up to no good but It's okay, my love. Everything will be fine now that I'm back." Celine replied. My blood went cold, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I sat frozen on the bed, my hand trembling as I listened. Ethan thought I lied about being pregnant just to have him marry me? How could he think of that? Was that the reason why he started acting cold towards me after my miscarriage? No, I can't believe this. My breath caught in my throat as I remembered that terrible day, the day my whole world collapsed.I had been so happy, so full of hope. The child growing inside me had been the one thing that gave me purpose in this hollow marriage. But all that changed when

    Ethan's POV I thought when I marry Sonia, I would learn to love her and forget about Celine but I was wrong. My heart still beat for her, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise.Celine was my childhood friend and my first love. Even though she was the one who cheated on me, I was ready to forgive and take her back. Sounds crazy right? But that was how much I loved her. I never knew Sonia had always wanted to have me, to take Celine’s position in my life until the day our drinks was drugged, leading to sexual encounter between us. I only asked her to pretend to be my financee pending on when the scandal would dies out. But then, she told me she was pregnant. I was shocked.. confused. I asked her to give me time, to let me process everything because I wasn’t ready for this kind of commitment, especially not with my secretary, someone I didn’t love. I didn’t know how, but somehow, my mother found out about the pregnancy before I could even figure things out for mysel

    Sonia's POV "And with this new design concept, we project a 30% increase in our sales for the next two years,” Jake, one of my senior designers, said confidently as he pointed to the screen. The room was silent, except for the clicking of his laser pointer and the hum of the air conditioning. The rest of my workers watched me expectantly, waiting for my reaction. I leaned back in my chair, my fingers intertwined on the desk in front of me. It was a good presentation... no, it was great. They had worked tirelessly on this, and it showed.“That’s... impressive, Jake,” I said with a smile. “You’ve all done a fantastic job. Let’s proceed with this strategy and you all will be getting a bonus for this.”Jake and the rest of the workers exchanged relieved smiles, their faces washed with joy as they all shouted and jumped with excitement. I knew they had put their all into this, and they deserved to feel proud. "Thank you, ma'am." They appreciated, bowing their heads. I watched as they

    Sonia I blinked my eyes as I still couldn’t believe that it was Ethan. He was Standing just a few feet away, chatting so casually with my son. The same man who once broke me into pieces that it took years before I was able to put myself back together. And now, he is here, smiling and talking to my son as though fate had deliberately thrown him in my path.This couldn’t be happening. Not on my first day back in London.My breath quickened, my heart hammering against my ribcage as tears welled up in my eyes, but I quickly wiped them away. I'm no longer the weak Sonia and I won't allow my past to bring down my emotions. “Mommy!” Jay’s bright voice snapped me out of my trance. He spun around and ran toward me with open arms.I rushed towards him, crouched down and hugged him tightly, almost afraid that if I let him go, he would disappear into thin air. “Jay,” I whispered shakily, my hands trembling as they gripped his small frame. “Why did you leave my side? You scared me.”Jay pull

    EthanFive years. That’s how long it’s been since I last saw Sonia and it had been a hell for me. Five years of searching and regretting. I have hired top—tier detectives, sparing no expenses to find her but every lead turned into a dead end. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth. I tried to convince myself that I didn’t care anymore, that she didn’t matter, but deep down, I knew I was lying. Sonia haunted my thoughts, her face flashing in my mind when I least expected it. And now, here I was, at the airport, waiting for a business flight to attend a conference that would elevate my company but I couldn't think straight as the thought of Sonia filled my head. My thoughts were interrupted when I noticed a boy standing a few feet away, looking lost. He couldn’t have been older than five or six. His small frame seemed out of place amidst the bustling crowd, yet there was something oddly familiar about him.His face and pink lips reminded me of someone. Someone I cou

    SoniaI looked at Alex and I realized that the man sitting right in front of me wasn't the Alex I used to know because the Alex I knew would never do anything to hurt me."I would rather lose my company than accept your proposal," I said firmly, locking eyes with Alex. My voice was steady but my heart was a storm“Is that so?” he chuckled darkly, leaning back in his chair with a cruel smile. “We’ll see about that.”My breath hitched. What happened to you, Alex? What happened to the man who once said he respected me? The man who offered to help me in my trying time?“Fine,” I said, my voice sharper now. “Then at least open my office so I can get my personal things.”He shook his head slowly. “I’m sorry, Sonia. That won’t be possible.”I blinked, stunned. “What?” I asked, barely able to believe my ears. “You’re saying I can’t even pack up my personal stuff?”“Yes,” he said coldly. “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”Unbelievable!The dam of emotions inside me trembled.

    SoniaThe moment I stepped out of the car, I asked Trent to wait outside the office building for me.“I’ll be fine,” I said, forcing a smile. “Please, I don’t want to draw any unnecessary attention.”He shook his head firmly. “Mr. Ethan said I should stay with you at all times.”“I know,” I sighed. “But this is my office, Trent. Just stay close, alright? I’ll only be here for a few hours.”After a long pause, he finally gave in. “Alright. But if anything seems off, I’m coming in.”I nodded and walked into the building, trying to shake off the unease still clinging to me. But the moment I stepped inside, I knew something was wrong.There was a strange tension in the air. Some of the staff greeted me with forced smiles, others looked away as if making eye contact with me would get them into trouble. I could even hear whispers behind my back but no one dared say anything to my face and that was when I saw Tara.She looked like she hadn’t slept all night. Her face was pale, her eyes fille

    SoniaI woke up with a pounding headache as my body felt heavy like I hadn't slept at all. But the truth is... I haven't. I spent the whole night staring at the ceiling, flinching at every little sound. The fear that Daniel was out there, watching my every move… waiting for me… was enough to keep my eyes wide open.Last night, I begged Ethan to let Jay sleep in our room just so I could keep him close. But Ethan gently declined, saying it was better to keep things normal for Jay’s sake. Still, he doubled the security around the house. Now, there’s a guard right outside the door."Hmmm..." I sighed deeply as I sat up, rubbing my temples. My body felt drained. I glanced around the room. Ethan wasn’t in bed. I figured he must have gone downstairs. Probably trying to act like everything is fine for me and Jay.Dragging myself out of bed, I was heading toward the bathroom when the bedroom door creaked open. I turned quickly, my heart skipping a beat.Then I saw Ethan but something was off

    SoniaMy heart was pounding so loudly that I could hear it in my ears. Every part of my body was shaking as I slowly turned around, silently praying that whoever tapped me shouldn't be who I was thinking.But when I finally faced him, I let out a shaky breath."Thank God!" It wasn’t Daniel.But still… something didn’t feel right.The man standing in front of me wore all black just like the figure I saw earlier. A black hoodie, black jeans, and a cap pulled low over his face.My heart didn’t stop racing as I felt there was something about his presence. You know... something… Cold, Quiet. And yet… intimidating.“Are you alright? You… look scared,” he said, his voice unexpectedly soft, almost gentle that It didn’t match the heaviness of his aura as his eyes studied me carefully.I swallowed hard and forced myself to nod. “I… I’m fine,” I stammered, trying to sound convincing. But even I didn’t believe my own voice.He gave me a small smile and extended his hand. “I’m Dr. Ryan.”I hesi

    SoniaAfter I dropped Jay off at school, I decided to stop by the supermarket to get some groceries. I will be resuming work tomorrow and I wanted to make sure the house Is well-stocked before then.Ethan enjoys the food I prepare way more than the maids’ cooking. it’s written all over his face whenever he takes a bite. So I figured if I stocked the fridge properly, it would make it easier for me to cook even after work.As I strolled through the supermarket aisle, tossing things into the cart, I felt a little sense of peace. It was just a normal day or so I thought.I was at the counter paying for everything when someone walked through the entrance, dressed completely in black, a cap pulled low over his face.At first, I didn’t think much of it… until I glanced back again and my heart almost stopped.The build, the way he walked… It looked exactly like Daniel.No… this is not possible, It can't be..I blinked rapidly. I have to be imagining things. Daniel is dead. Ethan shot him. I

    EthanThere is only one way to find out the person that entered my house and that is by checking the CCTV footage.I can't take any chances, not when Sonia and Jay are with me.I turned to my guards. "Two of you, stay by the front door. The rest, follow me." I ordered,my voice filled with hesitation.Without wasting time, we rushed to the CCTV room. The guards did not need to be told before they knew what to do. One of them immediately powered up the system and began scanning the footage as soon as we entered the room.We checked everything right from the front gate to the living room and the hallway leading to my room but we saw nothing. No one came in or went out.I frowned. "Check again," I ordered, my voice sharp.The guard rewound the footage, going over it carefully, second by second. But still… there was nothing."Boss, there’s no sign of anyone," one of them said hesitantly, glancing at me.I stood frozen. My mind raced.How is this possible? I saw someone. I chased someone or

    Ethan The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast a golden light over Sonia’s face as she slept peacefully beside me. Her breath was slow and steady, her delicate lashes resting against her cheeks and for a moment, I just watched her, mesmerized by her beauty. She took care of me tirelessly, refusing to let me do anything even though my hands were nearly healed. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday and she insisted on staying in my room just in case I needed anything during the night. I smiled and leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. My heart swelled with an emotion so deep, it almost hurt as I remembered what she said when I asked her to be my girlfriend. She told me to make her fall in love with me again. God, this woman is driving me crazy. If that is what she wanted then I would give it my all. I would make her fall in love with me so hard that she would never think of leaving me again. A sudden vibration of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts.
