Daniel

"Fuck!" I cursed under my breath, flicking the cigarette between my fingers as I strolled toward my car. The smoke curled lazily around me and I exhaled through my nose, laughing coldly.

Ethan, that fool, thought he could pull me down? Well, He has no idea who he’s messing with. I’m always ten steps ahead of him.

As I reached where I parked my car discreetly in the dense cover of the bush, my men greeted me with a respectful bow.

"Welcome, boss." They all greeted me and I nodded in response.

"Boss, the goods are loaded," one of them said.

"Good," I replied, my tone authoritative and cold. I glanced at them. They knew better than to mess things up.

If it wasn't for one of my loyal boys who informed me about Ethan’s little plan last night, things might’ve gone differently.

As soon as he informed me last night, I immediately diverted the real shipment to another location and sent fake trucks loaded with rice to keep him distracted.

“Ethan is just a fool,” I said, smirk

    SoniaI frowned at Daniel as my patience was wearing off. I have told him countless times that I wasn’t ready for a relationship? And still, he was insisting, pushing and asking questions that didn't make sense, questions that made me uncomfortable, that I didn’t even know how to answer. When he asked if I still loved Ethan, I was speechless, I wanted to deny it, to scream that I had moved on but the truth lingered in my heart, heavy and undeniable. No matter how hard I tried to hate Ethan for everything he has done to me, my heart still refused to listen. I... I still loved him. I didn’t answer Daniel. I couldn’t. My silence must have spoken louder than words because he looked at me like he already knew. Thankfully, his phone rang, breaking the awkward tension. “I need to go now but I’ll see you soon,” Daniel said, standing up. I sighed heavily, following him to the door, relief flooding through me as he left but after closing the door behind him, his words echoed in my min

    SoniaI was engulfed with the fear of losing Jay and as I stepped into the elevator with Alex, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably. My heart felt like it was being ripped apart. Alex pulled me closer, his hand gently patting my back. “Calm down, Sonia. I'm sure we will find Jay,” he said softly, trying to reassure me. But his words did little to ease the fear clawing at my chest. When the elevator doors opened, Tara saw me and rushed over. Her eyes widened with concern when she noticed my teary eyes. “Ms. Sonia, what’s wrong?” she asked, her voice trembling. I couldn’t find the words to answer. My throat felt tight and the only thing I could do was cry. Alex stepped in. “The school just called. Her son, Jay, is missing.” “Oh my God!” Tara gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "When? How?" Tara questioned, gazing at me with concern. "We don't know yet and that is why we are going there to find out." I manage to say, my voice barely audible. Alex guided me out

    EthanI was sitting in my study room, going through some documents while Dave, my assistant, confirmed my flight to California as I needed to travel to California for an urgent business trip. “Make sure the flight is for early morning,” I told him, my gaze still fixed on the documents I was working on. “Yes, sir,” Dave said as he dialed the airport manager. I leaned back in my chair, finally allowing myself a moment to think. I have been busy all day, meeting after meeting and I haven’t had the chance to call Sonia or Jay. Guilt weighed on me. Jay must have been waiting for my call. "I will make it up to him when I get back from California." I thought within, stretching my libs. Suddenly, my phone vibrated on the desk. I glanced at it and I smiled when I saw Sonia’s name. Perfect timing. How did she know I was just thinking of her? I picked up the call with a grin. “Sonia,” I said warmly, “I was just thinking about you.” But her voice came through like a thunderclap, angr

    Sonia My heart felt like it had been ripped apart as I cried in Ethan's arms. His hand stroked my hair gently, calming my nerves a bit but the ache in my chest wouldn’t go away. My baby, my Jay, is out there somewhere and I couldn’t protect him. I couldn’t stop the tears from falling down my cheeks, I couldn’t stop the fear from engulfing me. After a while, I was able to calm down a bit and Ethan guided me to the couch, his hand never leaving my back.I sank into the seat, drained and trembling. Ethan called for Gloria and she came rushing in from the kitchen. “Ms. Sonia!” she exclaimed, her face filled with worry as she hurried to my side. “What’s wrong? What happened?” I tried to speak but the words got stuck in my throat. All I could manage was a broken whisper. “It’s Jay…” Then the tears came again, harder this time. Gloria froze, her hands gripping mine tightly. “What about the young master? Did anything happen to him?” I couldn't respond as tears kept falling dow

    DanielI was furious as my blood boiled at the mere thought of Sonia being with Ethan. "Fuck!!!" I groaned, taking a sip from my wine glass. I knew it... I knew she would run to him, just like always. That was why I lied when I called her, pretending I was at her house. I wanted to confirm my suspicions and now I had my answer. As the image of her with Ethan replayed in my mind, my grip tightened around the wine glass in my hand until it shattered. The shards bit into my skin, but the sting only fueled my anger. "Mrs, Nathaniel!!" I called one of my maids and she came running in. She was stunned when she came in and saw the shattered glasses on the floor. She didn't need me to tell her what to do before she knew she had to clean the mess. "Are there any other things you want me to do for you, sir?" She asked after clearing the place. "No, you can go," I said coldly, massaging my temple. A few minutes after she left, The door creaked open and Dragon, one of my men, stepped i

    SoniaThe sound of Jay’s cry pierced through my sleep, pulling me into a state of panic. My heart raced as I swiftly sat upright on the bed, calling out his name. “Jay! Are you okay?” My voice echoed in the silence but there was no response. His cries grew louder, sharper, and more desperate that I couldn't take it anymore. I threw the blanket aside and rushed out of the room, following the sound. My feet moved instinctively, leading me to a small, dark room at the far end of the corridor. As I stood before the door, I could hear Jay sobbing uncontrollably, making my heart pounding in my chest. “Jay? Baby, it’s Mommy. I'm here to save you," I said, my voice trembling.I tried the door handle but it wouldn’t budge. The door was locked. What should I do? What should I do? Jay's continued cries pierce my heart like a dagger, “I’m coming, Jay,” I promised, tears streaming down my face. I took a deep breath, stepped back and then kicked the door with everything I had. It made a

    SoniaAs Ethan pulled into my apartment, I could feel my heart growing heavier. The silence between us was unsettling but I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.I just looked out the window with my mind filled with the thought of Jay, my son. I haven't heard from him since yesterday and it felt like I haven't seen him for years. "God, I hope my son is okay," I murmured, blinking away the tears that were threatening to spill. Ethan parked the car, stepped out and walked around to open the door for me. His gestures were gentle as if he was trying to make up for something he couldn’t say out loud. “Thank you,” I murmured as I stepped out. We walked in silence toward the building, the tension between us unspoken yet heavy. Just as we reached the door, Ethan’s phone began to ring. He stopped and pulled it out of his pocket. “Excuse me,” he said, his voice low as he stepped aside to pick up the call. I nodded, barely registering his words and continued toward the door. Just a

    Celine I looked at Ethan, my vision blurred by tears I didn’t even try to hold back. I can't believe after everything I have been through because of Ethan, after all these years, he still chose her over me. How could he do that to me? That slut called Sonia ruined my life. She was the reason why I lost my child, my precious baby and yet Ethan was here, avoiding my gaze like a coward. Gush!! “Celine, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, his voice annoyingly calm, as if trying to dismiss my pain. My heart ached, twisting like a knife in my chest. The way he denied it like what we shared didn’t mean anything to him made my heart ache.“Stop lying to me!” I shouted, my voice cracking with pain. “Don’t you dare deny it, Ethan because it will only make me angrier!” He froze, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t... I have kept this pain inside for far too long and I need to let it all out. “I know everything, Ethan. I know it’s because of Sonia. She’s the reason you fough

    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. You will report every

    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

    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
