I smiled as I baked the cake with excitement. Today is a special day for me. It's my wedding anniversary with my husband, Ethan. But this year was special, there was something even more precious to be celebrated. I'm pregnant and the thought of it makes my stomach swell with joy. After my miscarriage last two years, I hadn't gotten pregnant since then. I was shocked when the doctor handed me the result and told me that I was pregnant. I couldn't contain my joy as I screamed with excitement. I'm planning to surprise Ethan with my pregnancy result tonight even though Things haven't been going well between us for a while now but I can't wait to see his reaction, to watch his face light up when I told him the news. I spent the entire day preparing as the kitchen buzzed with the aroma of his favorite dishes. The table was set, Everything was perfect and My hands trembled slightly as I placed the final touches, imagining the surprise and happiness in his eyes when he walked through that door. I decided to call my husband to come home early so that we can celebrate together and to also share the good news with him but he wasn't responding "Maybe he's still busy with work." I thought within. The hours ticked by slowly, each minute stretching into an eternity as I waited. The anticipation that had once bubbled inside me started to feel heavy. I glanced at the clock, hoping each time that he would walk in, greet me with his familiar smile, and we celebrate together. But the house remained quiet, the only sound being the ticking of the clock. When the door finally opened, relief washed over me, "Welcome, honey." I ran to welcome him with a smile but it was short-lived. Ethan slightly pushed me aside, his face devoid of any emotion, his eyes cold and distant and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Are you alright? Did something happen at the office?" My heart was heavy with worries but he ignored me and I watched in confusion as he walked past me, his gaze piercing through me like I was a stranger. “What’s wrong?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly as I followed him to the living room. "I have something to tell you," he said coldly, placing a paper in front of me, the paper I hadn't noticed that he was holding. I gasped, My heart raced as I read the title: Divorce agreement. "What's this?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “What does it look like?” he spat, his voice devoid of any emotions. "Uhm... I... I... Know that this is....a..." I was cut shut by Ethan who blurted out, "I want a divorce!" Divorce! My heart dances madly in fear as a cold sweat ran down my smile. No! No! No! This is not happening. Not tonight, not on our anniversary. I knew our marriage hadn't been perfect for the past three years but I wasn't expecting this, not now that God has answered my prayers and blessed me with another pregnancy. I looked up at him, searching his face for any sign that this was some terrible mistake, or perhaps, he was joking but all I saw was cold indifference. My whole body trembled as I stared at the papers that my husband placed before me. Is he serious? “What! Ethan… why?” My voice cracked, tears welled up in my eyes. "I knew that things hadn't been going well between us but I think we can still work things out." "It's too late." he whispered, massaging his temple, "Celine is back." He blurted out and my heart leaped to my throat. Hearing that name sent a chill into my heart. "Celine is back? For what?" I asked in disbelief, my heart heavy with pain as tears forced to come out of my eyes. "Are you seriously asking me that right now?" he questioned coldly, "Celine is the only woman I love and you know it but you manipulate my mother and force yourself into my life by trapping me with pregnancy. You made my mother threaten me with my inheritance just so I could marry you! Do you know what that made me feel? Living with you for the past three years has been a hell for me." he thundered through gritted teeth, shattering my heart into pieces. His words pierced my heart like a thousand pins, breaking it into a million fragments without repair. I looked at him with tears of heartbreak streaming down my cheeks. I never manipulated Ma'am Lucy for me to marry him. She was the one who asked me to marry him when she found out that I was pregnant with Ethan's child. How could he say this? I did my best just to please him. I have been a loving and caring wife to him for the past three years, why would he do this to me? What did I do wrong? I clutched my chest which was burning with pain as breathing became difficult for me. He has been asking for a divorce ever since his mother, Madam Lucy died a few months ago but I never knew he was serious. I was ready to do anything to have him, to make our marriage work. He can't possibly throw all our three years together because Celine is back. "I..I.. I love you, Ethan. Please, don't do this to me." I choked on my words. "You are aware, I don't love you. My mother is dead now and Celine, my true love, the person whose position you stole is back so, I don't see any reason why I should keep you here." His words were like a punch to the gut. My heart clenched with pain as pathetic tears of heartbreak slipped down my face. I can never believe this... I never thought that a day like this would come, not even when it was obvious that he didn't love me as much as I loved him. I have been hoping that one day, he would see how much I genuinely love him and he would love me back. No, I can't allow this to happen, there must be a way out. I sniffed my tears as I raised my gaze at him with my teary eyes. "Plea... Please, don't do this to me. I love you and I have something very important to tell you." I choked on my words as tears streamed down my cheeks, hoping he might change his mind if he knew that I was pregnant. "Keep whatever you want to tell me to yourself, I'm not interested. I have to get back to the office," his cold voice broke my heart into pieces. "I have already signed the divorce papers so you have just two days to sign your part and leave my house." He informed me and left without looking back, leaving me shattered and broken.

Sonia's POV I watched Ethan leave the house, his words echoing in my mind, giving me three days to pack and leave. I wanted to believe that it wasn’t real, that he would come back and we would talk it through. If there were problems between us, I was ready to work them out, to fix whatever was broken. Divorce wasn’t an option for me—not after everything we've been through, not now that I'm carrying his child. I just needed him to come back home, to see me, to see us and to know that I was carrying his child. I sank into the couch that was close to me as I cried like a child with my whole body trembling from emotions and shock."Where do I go wrong? Why can't Ethan love me?" Tears of heartbreak streamed down my cheeks. "Oh, please! Don't act so surprised and heartbroken. Do you think that my handsome and rich brother was going to remain with a lowlife like you? I told you, it's only a matter of time." Tina, Ethan's step-sister said with a sinister smile, rolling her eyes as she str

Sonia's POV "Sonia was never pregnant." He blurted out, coldly, "The child was the only reason why I accepted to marry her when mother was forcing me. I found out later that she lied about being pregnant just to have me marry her." His voice was cold, cruel, and filled with bitterness. "I knew it. I knew she was up to no good but It's okay, my love. Everything will be fine now that I'm back." Celine replied. My blood went cold, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I sat frozen on the bed, my hand trembling as I listened. Ethan thought I lied about being pregnant just to have him marry me? How could he think of that? Was that the reason why he started acting cold towards me after my miscarriage? No, I can't believe this. My breath caught in my throat as I remembered that terrible day, the day my whole world collapsed.I had been so happy, so full of hope. The child growing inside me had been the one thing that gave me purpose in this hollow marriage. But all that changed when

Ethan's POV I thought when I marry Sonia, I would learn to love her and forget about Celine but I was wrong. My heart still beat for her, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise.Celine was my childhood friend and my first love. Even though she was the one who cheated on me, I was ready to forgive and take her back. Sounds crazy right? But that was how much I loved her. I never knew Sonia had always wanted to have me, to take Celine’s position in my life until the day our drinks was drugged, leading to sexual encounter between us. I only asked her to pretend to be my financee pending on when the scandal would dies out. But then, she told me she was pregnant. I was shocked.. confused. I asked her to give me time, to let me process everything because I wasn’t ready for this kind of commitment, especially not with my secretary, someone I didn’t love. I didn’t know how, but somehow, my mother found out about the pregnancy before I could even figure things out for mysel

Sonia's POV "And with this new design concept, we project a 30% increase in our sales for the next two years,” Jake, one of my senior designers, said confidently as he pointed to the screen. The room was silent, except for the clicking of his laser pointer and the hum of the air conditioning. The rest of my workers watched me expectantly, waiting for my reaction. I leaned back in my chair, my fingers intertwined on the desk in front of me. It was a good presentation... no, it was great. They had worked tirelessly on this, and it showed.“That’s... impressive, Jake,” I said with a smile. “You’ve all done a fantastic job. Let’s proceed with this strategy and you all will be getting a bonus for this.”Jake and the rest of the workers exchanged relieved smiles, their faces washed with joy as they all shouted and jumped with excitement. I knew they had put their all into this, and they deserved to feel proud. "Thank you, ma'am." They appreciated, bowing their heads. I watched as they

You scared me.”Jay pull

EthanFive years. That’s how long it’s been since I last saw Sonia and it had been a hell for me. Five years of searching and regretting. I have hired top—tier detectives, sparing no expenses to find her but every lead turned into a dead end. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth. I tried to convince myself that I didn’t care anymore, that she didn’t matter, but deep down, I knew I was lying. Sonia haunted my thoughts, her face flashing in my mind when I least expected it. And now, here I was, at the airport, waiting for a business flight to attend a conference that would elevate my company but I couldn't think straight as the thought of Sonia filled my head. My thoughts were interrupted when I noticed a boy standing a few feet away, looking lost. He couldn’t have been older than five or six. His small frame seemed out of place amidst the bustling crowd, yet there was something oddly familiar about him.His face and pink lips reminded me of someone. Someone I cou

Sonia The next day, After eating my breakfast with my son, I went into the bathroom to freshen up.I was just stepping out of the bathroom with the soft towel wrapped around my wet hair when I heard Jay's voice calling out."Mom, your phone's been ringing," he said, sitting cross-legged on the bed with his iPad in hand.I sighed, exhaustion weighing on me from the long trip. "Thanks, sweetheart. Did you see who called?"He shook his head, his eyes fixed on the screen of his iPad. Just as I reached for the phone on the bedside table, it buzzed again. Glancing at the screen, I saw Shirley, my assistant’s name flashing.“Hello, Shirley,” I answered, sitting on the edge of the bed as I wondered what urgent matter would have prompted her to call me this early morning. “Good morning, ma’am! I hope I’m not disturbing you,” Shirley’s voice came through, urgent yet professional. "No, not at all," I replied. "Is anything the problem?" "I just got a call from Mr. Phillip, one of our investor

Ethan I went straight home as soon as I left the airport with Different unanswered questions running through my head. I had to find out more about Sonia and Jay. I needed to know if Jay was my son even though Deep down, I felt a connection to him. His eyes, his confidence—it was like... staring at a younger version of myself. But I needed proof. I couldn’t rely on feelings alone.“You’re back already?” Celine’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts as I stepped into the living room. She looked up from the couch, gazing at me curiously. Celine had been staying in my house for a month now, despite my refusal. She insisted that being closer would help us “reconnect,” especially since she noticed I was distant and no longer gave her the attention she craved But it wasn’t my fault. I couldn’t stop thinking about Sonia. “Yes, I canceled my flight,” I replied softly. Her brows furrowed as she stood and walked toward me, "Why would you cancel such an important trip?""There’s somethin

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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
