Sonia

I woke up with my head throbbing like a drum, my vision blurry and unfocused.

"Ahh!" A groan escaped my lips as I held my head and slowly struggled to sit up.

The air smelled different...stale, unfamiliar. My heart sank the moment I opened my eyes fully and realized I wasn’t in my room and I wasn’t even at the company.

"Where am I?" I murmured, looking around the room.

And then… it all came flooding back. How I found out Doctor Ryan was Daniel and how Dragon knocked me out unconscious.

Panic shot through my veins like wildfire. I quickly got off the bed, my hands trembling as I searched around the room, looking for my bag.

I needed my phone. I had to call Ethan. He needs to know what happened to me. But my handbag… Is... Is nowhere to be found

“No, no, no…” I whispered, tearing through the cushions and peeking under the bed but I saw nothing.

"Does it mean they took my bag and phone from me?" I thought within as I blinked back the tears in my eyes.

Why didn’t I listen to Et

    Sonia I raised my gaze at the door and I saw a young maid step in, holding a tray of food. She gave me a small bow and placed it gently on the stool before sliding it closer to me.“Here is your food, ma’am,” she said softly.I nodded, forcing myself to murmur a quiet “thank you.” But my eyes didn’t miss the phone tucked neatly into her pocket. For a moment, my heart lifted. Should I ask her? Should I beg her to let me make a quick call? But what if she tells Daniel?No. I shook my head. I couldn’t trust her. One wrong move could cost me everything.“If you need anything, you can call me,” she added before quietly stepping out and locking the door behind her.I looked at the food without interest, my stomach twisting with anxiety. But I knew I had to eat something. If I was going to escape, I needed strength.I forced down a few bites even though it tasted like sand in my mouth. Every chew reminded me I wasn’t free, That I was a prisoner again.As I placed the spoon down, my finger

    EthanI couldn't sit still. My gut told me something was wrong.Sonia left over six hours ago to meet that so-called business partner and she hasn't returned.I should have stopped her. I should have trusted my instincts and not her words. But the way she looked at me, so sure, so determined... I couldn’t say no and I don't want her to think that I am trying to control her.Now, I am beginning to regret it. Every second she’s not back feels like a knife twisting in my chest.I walked over to the window, staring out as if I would suddenly see her walking up the driveway with that gentle smile on her face but I didn't.I sighed, pulled out my phone and dialed her number again. It rang severally but she wasn't answering.I tried again but still, she wasn't answering.God, She never ignores my calls like this. Especially not when she knows I will be worried."Hmm..." I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my breathing. Maybe she is still in the meeting. Maybe she lost track of ti

    EthanMy fingers tremble slightly as I pulled out my phone and called my guards.“Get the car ready,” I ordered, my voice sharper than usual. “And make sure you get your guns with you. We are going out.”“Yes, boss. We would do that right away,” the guard replied before hanging up.I dropped the phone and reached into my drawer, pulling out two pistols. I handed one to Dave, who took it without saying a word, then tucked the other one at the back of my trousers. My mind was racing faster than the beating of my heart.It was getting dark. The sky was already dressed in deep blue shadows and according to Dave, the location was two hours away. That meant we had to move fast.“You ready?” I asked, slipping on my blackface cap.Dave gave a nod, his eyes focused as he checked the gun in his hand. “Ready.”We left my study room and headed to the garage. My men were already there, standing alert. Their faces tightened when they saw me like they could feel the storm inside me.“You four,” I p

    Ethan“Thank God you are safe,” I whispered, pulling Sonia into my arms like my life depended on it. And maybe it did.Her body trembled slightly against mine. “Ethan… Daniel is the owner of the company. He’s alive,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.“I know,” I murmured, brushing her hair back and kissing her forehead gently. “You are safe now and that is all that matters.”“Boss,” Dave’s voice broke through the moment, low and tense. He had his gun raised with his eyes scanning the darkness. “We need to move. Now.”I grabbed Sonia’s hand tightly and we rushed toward the exit. My only thought was to get her out of there alive.But just as we stepped into the compound, one of my guards stumbled toward me, his uniform torn, blood staining his shirt.“Boss… Phyl has been killed. I barely made it out,” he panted, collapsing to his knees.“What?” I froze. My breath caught in my throat. Phyl… He was the one who exchanged dresses with me and followed the tracker.“How?” I demanded

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    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
