Sonia.

I sat frozen beside Jay who was looking at me curiously. There was no sign of sleep in his eyes anymore as he looked at me with a serious face.

I avoided his gaze, My throat tightening, unable to speak.

I had dodged this question so many times, but tonight, with the look on his face, there was no escape for me, I had to answer him.

I forced a smile and tried to keep my voice steady. “Jay, like I always say, your daddy lives in a faraway country. I promise you will meet him someday.” My voice was barely above a whisper.

My chest tightened with pain as I blinked away the tears that were threatening to come out of my eyes. It broke my heart to keep on lying to him about his father.

How can I tell him that he has met his father already? What would be his reaction when he knows that Ethan is his father?

"That’s what you always say, mommy. When will he come? Is there no date?" His question sent a shiver down my spine.

Jay is growing up and becoming more wise. He must have suspe

    Chapter 19Sonia I was engulfed with fear when I saw the car about to overtake me. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would soon burst. I don't know who they were and why they were tailing me. "I can't allow them to get me," I murmured, stepping on the engine.I couldn't stop when I got to Jay's school. I don't know if they were after me or my child. The thought of losing Jay made my hands shake. I held the steering wheel tighter, pressing harder on the gas and speeding up. When I got to T-junction, I quickly made a sharp U-turn, my tires screeching loudly. The car behind me turned as well, following closely. My heart raced faster. I didn’t know what to do. I just kept driving, hoping something would stop them. And then it happened. A big truck pulled into the road, blocking their way. The black Lamborghini stopped suddenly, its horn loudly as the driver tried to get the truck to move. I looked back and felt a little bit of relief. They couldn’t follow me anymore

    Ethan "Those bunch of fools had just proved to me that they are not capable of finding Sonia," I muttered through gritted teeth as I brought out my phone to dial Kyle's number. Kyle is my underground secret agent. There is no information he couldn't get within 24 hours. "Ahh, why didn't I think of him before?" I groaned, dialing his number. "Good evening, boss." He greeted me as soon as he picked up the call. "I want you to gather information about someone for me within 24 hours," I ordered, my voice filled with urgency. "I will send you the details. "Alright, boss." I opened my drawer and brought out Sonia's picture after sending Kyle every detail he needed to find Sonia. Holding the picture in my hand, I smiled. This picture was the only thing I had of Sonia ever since she left. I always look at it whenever I am missing her. I was busy admiring her beauty when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I said, keeping my voice steady while still admiring Son

    EthanMy heart thumped in my chest as I paced towards the school playground where Jay was playing with other children. I was getting closer and about to call him when he suddenly turned around. The moment he spotted me, his face lit up and a wide smile formed on his face. He ran toward me with his arms open. “Mr. Ethan!” he called out, his voice filled with excitement. My heart swelled with joy. I dropped to one knee, embracing him as he threw his small arms around my neck. I held him tightly, and for the first time in a while, I felt a kind of happiness I couldn’t explain."I have missed you, Jay.", I whispered with a smile. Some of the teachers who recognized me came to greet me with a bow. They were stunned at how Jay looked exactly like me. One of them asked if Jay was my son but before I could respond, Jay swiftly answered, telling them that I was his father. His response bloomed in my heart. We went to a quiet place and Jay pulled back slightly from my hold, staring at m

    Ethan “I’ve never met my daddy before,” Jay said softly, staring at the ground. “Mom always says he lives in a faraway country.” His words hit me like a punch to the guts, breaking my heart into pieces. The sadness in his voice made my heart ache in a way I couldn’t describe. I clenched my fists under the table, fighting the anger and guilt rising inside me. I'm his father. How could Sonia keep him away from me like this? He deserved to know me, to feel a father’s love. No, I have to find a way to be in his life before it's too late. I leaned forward, trying to keep my voice calm. “Uhm.... I'm so sorry for that." "It's okay." He shrugged his shoulders, "I'm used to it already." I sigh softly before asking him, "Jay, can you tell me where you and your mom live? Uhm... So that I can check up on you. You know, we can even hang out sometime. Or what do you think?" He looked at me with a smile on his face, but his eyes held a clever glint. “Mom said I shouldn’t give strangers our

    Celine I stared at Tina, shocked by her audacity. She already owned 20% of the family company even though she's an illegitimate child of the Adamson, yet she still had the guts to demand to be made the CEO? How greedy could she be?I wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of her demand, but I held it. I couldn’t afford to show my frustration. If getting Ethan meant playing along with Tina for now, I would do it. Though, Deep down, I had my own plans for her. She wasn’t going to get away with this. “Fine,” I said, forcing a smile. “I promise to make you the CEO when I marry Ethan.” Tina’s face lit up with satisfaction, and she leaned back, crossing her arms smugly. “Mmmm... Good girl. You have made a good choice, Celine. You won’t regret this.” "Regret?" The word echoed in my mind. No, Tina. You’re the one who’ll regret this, I promise. She leaned closer to me, glancing around to make sure no one was seeing us before lowering her voice. “Since we’re being honest, you should kno

    Ethan.I haven't been to the club for a while now as the only thing on my mind was Sonia. But today, I was happy after the good news I got from Kyle so I decided to join my friends at the club.I stepped into the club with my heart filled with excitement. The music was loud, the girls giggled with excitement when they saw me. Some even tried to flirt with me but I ignored them as I made my way to our usual spot. My friends were already there, drinking and laughing but as soon as they saw me, they exclaimed, hailing and calling my name. I sat down with them and ordered a drink. Tony looked at me curiously. “Ethan, what’s with that big smile? You look like a guy who just hit the jackpot.” He joked and they all laughed.I chuckled, pouring myself a drink. “Sonia’s back. She’s here in London.” I said, my voice filled with excitement. The table went silent. They all stared at me as if I had just announced that I had seen a ghost. I don't blame them, I understand their shock. I mean T

    Sonia I sat at the dining table with Jay, scrolling through a report that Tara sent me on my phone. There is a presentation coming up next week and I need to prepare for it since this will be my first presentation. "Good morning, ma'am." Caro greeted me with a bow before serving the breakfast. “Mommy, I forgot to tell you something yesterday,” Jay's cheerful voice jolted me out of my thoughts. “Hmm? What is it?” I asked, glancing at him while still scrolling my phone. “I saw Mr. Ethan at school yesterday,” Jay said casually, smiling as he took a bite from his toast. “He even bought me ice cream!” My heart raced as the words hit me like a bolt of lightning. My hand trembled and my phone nearly slipped from my fingers.I slowly looked up at him, my chest tightening. “Who did you say you saw?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Mr. Ethan,” Jay repeated, smiling innocently. “He was really nice, Mommy! Our teachers even said we look alike and I told them he's my father!

    Chapter 26Celine I stormed out of Ethan's room with rage. I still couldn't believe that Ethan would reject me after all the effort I put in. I stepped into my room and slammed the door so hard it shook the wall, my whole body trembling with rage. How dare Ethan turn me down after everything I’ve done? The humiliation burned like fire in my chest. No man had ever rejected me before, and I won't allow Ethan to be the first. "Ahhh!!!!" I let out a furious scream, grabbing a vase from the table and smashing it against the wall. The Pieces flew in every direction, but I didn’t care. I feel like I am going mad. I grabbed a pillow next, tearing at the fabric as if it were the source of all my problems. My breathing was heavy, and tears of frustration stung my eyes. How could Ethan turned a beauty like me down? Is he not a man!! Gush!! Suddenly, the door creaked open, and two maids rushed in. They gazed at me in shock, their wide eyes darted between me and the mess I had made. “Ma

    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. I will send

    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

    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

    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. I couldn’t

    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.

    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
