Sonia

I stood frozen, my heart pounding as I took in the sight before me.

The room was beautifully decorated with a soft golden light, delicate roses, and a cake, placed on a large table at the center.

My gaze drifted to the banner hanging on the wall, the bold letters spelling out:

"CONGRATULATIONS, SONIA!"

A lump formed in my throat as emotions overwhelmed me.

My eyes burned with unshed tears and before I could stop myself, a warm drop of tears fell down my cheeks.

I turned to Alex who stood a few feet away, his hands buried in his pockets, watching me with a soft smile.

"Did you like it?" he asked.

I nodded, my voice barely above a whisper. "I love it. Thank you, Alex."

His smile deepened. "Close your eyes."

I blinked at him, suspicion flickering in my mind. "Why?"

"Just trust me," he said, his tone gentle and soft.

I hesitated but slowly shut my eyes. My heart pounded harder as I stood there, wondering what he was planning as the anticipation sent chills down my

    Alex "Fuck." I cursed under my breath, my hands clenched into fists as I stormed out of the room. I still can't believe it. Sonia just turned me down. The woman I spent months trying to win, the woman I planned my future around just rejected me. God! I have carefully planned this moment for so long. I thought this was the perfect time. I thought… she would say yes... I thought she would finally see that I was the right man for her. But I was wrong. It seems she never sees me in that way.I let out a bitter laugh, the ache in my chest twisting into something darker, something more painful. I pulled out a cigarette from my pocket as I walked toward the parking lot, my fingers shaking slightly as I lit it. Inhaling deeply, I let the smoke fill my lungs before exhaling slowly, watching it swirl into the cold night air. I knew that Sonia still had feelings for Ethan... That is clear now and that bastard didn’t even deserve her. "Agh!!" I groaned, running a frustrated hand th

    CelineEthan has a child with Sonia?! I felt my entire world crash around me as I smashed everything in my room in frustration. The glass shattered all over the room, papers flew everywhere but nothing could calm the storm raging inside me. How did this happen?!Ethan knew all this time and didn’t tell me? How could he be this cruel and wicked?I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I tried to control my anger. If Sonia has a child with Ethan, then that means, I don't stand a chance of being with him. No, I couldn’t let that happen. I have spent too much time and effort to lose him now. And to make things worse, he has the nerve, the audacity to look me in the eye and tell me he still loves her. "Agh!!" I gritted my teeth, pulling my hair in frustration. Ethan has no idea who he’s messing with. I will make him regret his actions. But before then, I had to see Tina. I needed to know If she knew something about this. But I need to clean up first.

    Celine There is only one person perfect for this job and that person is Mario. If anyone could find out where Sonia is hiding, it is him. And knowing Mario, he could get the information in less than two hours. I walked back to my room, grabbed my phone, and dialed his number. He picked up on the first ring. "Uhm, Celine, what’s up? I was just about to call you," he said, his voice unusually hesitant. I frowned. “Is something wrong?” There was a pause before he sighed. "It’s nothing much… I... I just need some money."I clenched my jaw, rubbing my forehead in frustration. Not again. This is one thing I hated about Mario... money, money, money. Always asking for money all the time. I took a deep breath. “What happened to the money I sent you last week?” I asked, sighing in frustration. There was another awkward silence before he stuttered, "I… I used it." I let out an amusing laugh. “You used it? Or you gambled it away?” Mario sighed. "Celine, I swear, it won’t happen

    Sonia"This number is not reachable. You can leave a voicemail after the beep…""Ahh! Not again!" I groaned, tossing my phone onto the bed in frustration. For three days, I have been calling Alex but his number was never reachable. He hasn't been to work for three days and when I went to his house to check on him, his guards lied, telling me he wasn’t around. But I knew they were lying because his car was parked right there in his compound when I arrived. "So why is he avoiding me?" I sighed heavily, rubbing my temples. I knew he was hurt. I knew turning him down would wound his pride but I never thought he would take things this far. I didn't reject him because I wanted to hurt him, I rejected him because I cared. But how could he understand when he wouldn’t even talk to me? Goodness, what do I do now? As I sat on the edge of my bed, lost in thought, my phone suddenly rang. I grabbed it instantly with my heart racing. "It must be Alex," I murmured to myself. I g

    Ethan"Are you sure Celine will accept the money?" Dave who sat on the chair across from me in my office asked with concern. “If there’s one thing I know about Celine, it’s that she loves money,” I muttered, shaking my head. “She’ll accept it.” Dave sighed, leaning back in his chair. “If you say so. But still, I think you should be careful. Now that she knows Sonia is back in town, who knows what she might do?” I nodded, rubbing my temple. That was exactly what had been troubling my mind. Celine is becoming a problem, one I need to deal with very fast.I have already decided that I am going to give her $100 million to walk away for good. That much money should be more than enough for her. But just then, before I could speak any further, heard a loud knock on the door. I exchanged a glance with Dave. “Who could that be?” He shrugged. And before I could even tell the person to come in, the door suddenly swung open and Celine walked in. Dave let out a low whistle. “Speaking

    SoniaI gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove home with my heart pounding with anger. How dare someone order me out of a house I fully paid for? Who could be behind this? Is the estate management aware of this? Or is this some kind of sick joke? Well, I wouldn’t know for sure until I got home and saw things for myself. As I drove into the compound, my anger flared at the sight before me. Caro was pleading desperately with some men, while Jay sat on the ground, crying. My breath hitched. "What sort of nonsense is this?!I quickly parked my car and stormed out, my heels clicking sharply against the pavement. “What is the meaning of this?!” I yelled, pacing toward them. Jay turned around, his tear-streaked face lighting up when he saw me. “Mommy!” he sobbed, running straight into my arms. I crouched down, holding him tightly. “Sweetheart, are you okay?” I asked, wiping his tears. Jay nodded, though his little body was still shaking. “They… they said we have to

    SoniaAs Ethan’s car pulled up in front of his massive mansion, the guards immediately rushed to open the door for me. “Welcome, Ms. Sonia,” they greeted me with polite bows. I gave them a small smile and nodded in response. Ethan stepped out of the car, his expression unreadable as he turned to the guards. “Bring the luggage inside,” he instructed. I noticed the flicker of confusion in their eyes. They hesitated for a second before nodding and obeying his command. I knew exactly what they were thinking. They were thinking about whether I was moving back in with EthanThe answer is simple. "Never." As long as Celine remained in the picture, Ethan and I could never go back to what we were once before. Too much has happened. Too many wounds have been left unhealed. I let out a quiet sigh, gripping Jay’s small hand as we made our way inside. Ethan moved ahead and pushed the door open, standing to the side like a perfect gentleman. “After you,” he said smoothly with a sm

    Sonia “Oh, Jay is asleep?” Gloria asked as she walked in, holding a cup of warm milk. “Yes, he is,” I said softly, pulling the duvet over my son’s small frame. “I wanted to give him some milk before bed,” Gloria sighed in disappointment. I smiled at her. “You can give it to him tomorrow.” She frowned slightly but nodded. “Alright. Goodnight, ma’am.” “Goodnight, Gloria.” She walked out of the room, leaving me alone with Jay. Jay fell asleep as soon as we finished our dinner. I planned to carry him to bed but Ethan insisted on doing it. Still, I wanted to be the one to tuck him in tonight so I insisted and brought him to his room. I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to each of his cheeks, “Goodnight, sweetheart.” I whispered with a smile. I stood up, switched off the bedside lamp and quietly left his room. As I walked back to mine, exhaustion weighed on me but I knew sleep wouldn’t come easily. I needed to finish some designs before the night ended. As soon as 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

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

    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
