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
Sonia"I just came down to get a glass of water," I said, swallowing hard as I tried to keep my eyes off Ethan’s bare chest. God! Why did he have to look this good? "Oh, I see," Ethan replied, watching me with a small smile before pouring himself a glass of water. I needed to get out of here. Something strange is happening to me... Just being in the same space with him, seeing him like this, made my body react in ways I didn’t understand. I turned to leave, desperate to escape, when his voice stopped me. "Thank you," Ethan said suddenly, making me put a halt on my track. I paused, turning slightly. "For what?" "For agreeing to stay here tonight," he said, his voice softer now. I shifted uncomfortably. "I did it for Jay," I replied. "Besides, it’s just for one night. By tomorrow, I’ll check into a hotel." For a second, I thought I saw a flicker of pain in his eyes but then, he masked it with a small smile and nodded. "I understand." I bit my lip and looked away. "I’
EthanI woke up with a smile on my face as a feeling of warmth spread through me. Last night was… incredible, the best night of my life. I smiled widely, my heart filled with joy as I still couldn't believe that I had sex with Sonia last night. I could still feel the way Sonia's body trembled beneath me, the way her lips moved against mine, the way she called my name in the heat of the moment and we did not just do it once or twice but four times. Damn! Is it a dream? I turned slightly, feeling the soft weight of an arm wrapped around my waist. My breath caught as I looked down and saw Sonia sleeping peacefully beside me. Her hair was a tangled mess, her lips were swollen from all our kisses and faint marks trailed down her body, evidence of our passion. No, this isn't a dream. I really made love to Sonia last night. A deep sense of satisfaction and joy filled my chest. My dream of having Sonia in my arms again is finally coming true. I reached out and traced her lips w
SoniaI went back to my room to get dressed after finishing the breakfast Ethan had prepared for me. He didn't even let me take my plates to the kitchen, insisting on handling everything himself. And the most shocking part? He had given the servants the day off. When I asked why, he simply smiled and said, “I just want to take care of you myself today, making me feel special."I won’t lie, this is a new side of Ethan I have never seen before and I liked it. I walked over to the mirror and stared at my reflection, my breath hitched. My neck was covered in hickeys, dark marks trailing down to my collarbone, a reminder of the passion from last night. God! I still couldn’t believe that I slept with Ethan and it was… amazing. No, it is more than amazing. It was the best sex I have ever had. Just thinking about it made my body tingle, my skin craving his touch all over again. I shook my head, pressing my lips together. I am still sore down there, struggling to even walk prop
Ethan My heart pounded in my chest as I watched Jay clutch his stomach, his small face twisted in pain. He was fine just a few minutes ago... laughing and eating. So why is he suddenly feeling a stomach ache? I was gripped with panic. Did the food I made upset his stomach? Sonia scooped Jay into her arms and gently laid him on the bed, her hands trembling as she cupped his face. "Baby, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt?"Jay squeezed his eyes shut. "My stomach... it hurts." I quickly pulled out my phone. "I’ll call the doctor.""No, Dad, I’ll be fine," Jay mumbled, grabbing my wrist weakly. I frowned. "Jay, you’re in pain. You need to be checked... and it's only the doctor that can determine what the problem is." "How can you be fine like this?!" Sonia cried out, tears brimming in her eyes. "Ethan, please don't mind him, call the doctor now!" "No, Mommy," Jay groaned, holding Sonia's hand. His big, innocent eyes looked up at her. "I just need a glass of water. Please." So
Chapter 156Sonia Jay’s words pierced my heart like a dagger. My son has been going through so much, yet he never once complained. He has been strong, understanding, and loving, never burdening me with his pain and now, after all these years, he is finally voicing his feelings. Tears burned in my eyes as I looked at him, his small hands clutching mine tightly. "I’m sorry, sweetheart," I whispered, my voice trembling. "I never meant to deny you your right." Jay’s eyes searched mine, filled with quiet hope. "I was just trying to protect you," I admitted, my heart breaking into a thousand pieces. Jay shook his head. "I know, Mommy. But please… Can I stay with Daddy? Even for a little while? Please?"I swallowed hard, blinking back the tears that threatened to spill. My baby boy is begging me, begging for something so simple yet so significant. I took a deep breath and cupped his face. "You know I love you, right?" I said and Jay nodded. "And you know I would do anything
