Ethan

There 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

    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

    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

    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

    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 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.

    AlexI 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.

    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

    Ethan“What is going on here?” I asked, my voice low but shaking with anger.Tina flinched and stepped behind Alex like a coward, avoiding my eyes like I was some kind of stranger.“Tina,” I called again, “what are you doing here?”Alex stepped in front of her protectively, his tone cold and sharp. “Why do you care, Ethan? I thought you disowned her?” He asked, levitating his left brown."That didn’t answer my question," I said, glaring at them with rage.My fists tightened. I took a deep breath, trying to keep calm.“Fine,” Alex said with a smug grin, wrapping his arm around Tina’s waist. “If you must know, she’s my fiancée.”And before I could even react, he kissed her shamelessly right in front of me.I was shocked. Tina and Alex? I couldn't believe my eyes. I have never seen both of them together before, not even for once so when did this start that I am not aware of?I scoffed, shaking my head slowly. “You two? Seriously?”Alex smiled, gazing at me with contempt.“Bastard,” I mu

    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

    SoniaI 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

    Daniel“Daniel!” Sonia whispered, her voice trembling like a leaf caught in the wind.God, how I missed that look, the fear in her eyes. The way her lips quivered, how she took a step back as though distance could save her from what was coming her way... it... It made my blood rush, a satisfaction poured into me like warm wine.This… this is exactly how I wanted her to see me. Not as the man she once lied to, and betrayed… but as the nightmare that never died.“How… how is this possible?” Sonia asked, her voice barely audible. “You… you’re dead.”I laughed lightly. The kind of laugh that makes the air colder. I took a step closer, making sure she could feel the weight of my presence.“I’m not dead, sweetheart,” I said softly, my eyes never leaving hers. “As you can see… I’m very much alive.”I watched her lips part, confusion etched across her pale face. Good. Let her wonder, Let her drown in the questions that would never save her.“You want to know how I survived, right?” I continu

    SoniaI was sipping tea in the living room when my phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. I hesitated for a moment before answering.“Hello?” I said cautiously.“Good morning, Miss Sonia,” A deep male voice replied. “I have heard so much about your company. I represent a fast-rising firm that specializes in oil and gold. We launched just a few months ago but our numbers are promising. We’re interested in partnering with you.”I blinked, stunned. “How did you get my contact?”“We have our ways,” he said with a chuckle, then quickly added, “I believe this could be the beginning of something great for your company.”I didn’t know what to think. How did they even hear about me, especially now when everything is crumbling? But honestly, I didn’t care. The board of directors has already started murmuring and this could be the lifeline I have been praying for.Maybe… maybe this is how God wants to answer my prayers."Alright," I said, accepting their offer."Okay then.
