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.Related chapters

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

Ethan."Shit!!!" I groaned, pacing forth and back in frustration. I can't believe this. The fact that it was Celine I slept with last night turned me apart. I had felt something was off, but I ignored it. I should have known. Her body was different, the kiss, the scent but I was too drunk to even think. I groaned, my frustration boiling over. This is a mistake, a huge one and now I felt like a cheating husband. "Gush!!!" I needed a shower, I needed to cool the storm brewing inside me. I made my way to the bathroom, my blood boiling with anger. I stepped into the bathroom, turned on the hot water and scrubbed my body as if the water could wash away everything I had done. But it didn’t. It was still there, hanging over me like a dark cloud.After a long shower, I got dressed, still feeling dirty, still feeling angry. As I walked into the living room, making my way to the entrance, I saw Celine with a smile that made my blood boil. “Ethan,” she called with a smile, “I made breakfa

Celine I woke up and found Ethan lying next to me. My heart raced with excitement as I smiled to myself while gazing at his handsome face. Finally, it has happened! Ethan had finally slept with me. I couldn't contain my joy. Soon, I would have everything I wanted, if I got pregnant and Ethan would have no choice but to marry me. "Wow!" I giggled, rubbing my tummy that will soon carry Ethan's child. You know, last night still felt like a dream to me. I can't believe this. I only came into his room to ask him for some shopping money last night, but when I saw him drinking, I knew it was my chance. Ethan was not the type that could handle alcohol and I was shocked when I saw him drinking. I don't know what might have prompted him to drink but whenever it was, I was grateful. It wasn’t long before he started acting strangely. When he told me to leave, I ignored him and stayed as I knew that it was my only chance. He started acting strangely and when he looked at me, his entire d

Ethan"Those fools have the guts to order me to leave the estate just because Sonia tells them to!" I groaned, My jaw tightened and I felt my chest burning like fire.I gripped the steering wheel, my heart pounding with frustration as I drove away from Sonia’s apartment. How could she do this? How could Sonia ask the security to throw me out like a common criminal? And worse, how could she keep me away from Jay, my own son? I was happy when I saw them this morning and for the first time in years, I felt hope. Seeing Jay smile at me, running into my arms, it was a moment I had dreamed of for so long. He looked so happy, so innocent. I thought maybe, just maybe, I could start to rebuild what I had broken but I was heartbroken when Sonia told me that they don't need me in their life. I knew she was hurt. I mean, she couldn't just accept me into their life like that after all these years, so I decided to leave, to give her space. When I got to work, I couldn't concentrate and I de

Sonia Tears of agony blur my vision as I searched everywhere for the spare key to Jay’s room, my hands shaking with panic. The thought of something being wrong with him was tearing me apart. I couldn’t think straight. "I thought I kept it here," I tremble, my heart heavy with fear as I couldn't remember where I kept it. Quickly, I opened the drawer to check if it was there but out of nowhere, I felt small arms wrapped around my waist from behind. I was startled and jumped in fear, holding my chest which was pounding rapidly. "Who is that?" I turned around quickly and I was stunned when I saw Jay standing with tears streaming down his face. His red, swollen eyes broke my heart into a thousand pieces. “Jay… Jay, my boy.” I whispered, dropping to my knees and pulling him into my arms. He clung to me tightly, crying hard against my chest. "Mommy," He whispered, his voice cracking with tears. “I’m so sorry,” I choked out, stroking his back. “I never wanted to hurt you. Please

Sonia “Sonia, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, his voice laced with concerns as he hastened his pace towards me. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. Instead, tears kept pouring uncontrollably out of my eyes. My body trembled as I stood there, unable to stop myself. “Did something happen to you?” He questioned, taking my hand. But I couldn't respond, I just nodded, wiping the tears that had blurry my vision. Without hesitation, Alex stepped closer and pulled me into his arms. “It’s okay,” he whispered, his voice calm and soothing. “Let it out. Whatever it is, I’m here for you.” He said, stroking my hair. I clung to him, my tears soaking his shirt. The warmth of his embrace felt like the only thing holding me together. For the first time today, I didn’t feel completely alone. After a moment, I managed to pull myself together, though my chest still ached. Alex pulled back slightly, his hands resting on my shoulders as he studied my face before wiping my tears with the

Sonia Jay turned to me, his small frame trembling with anger. His voice, which was usually soft and filled with love, was now cold and sharp. “Leave my room,” he said firmly, his words cutting through me like a blade. My heart sank, shattering into pieces. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Jay, please,” I pleaded, stepping closer to him. “Just let me explain.” But he shifted back, his face hardening as he pulled his arm from my grasp. “Don’t touch me,” he said, his voice trembling with a mixture of anger and pain. “I’ve been suspecting it for a while now but I wanted to hear it from you." His voice broke as tears fell down his cheeks, breaking my heart into pieces. What! What does he mean he has been suspecting it? Does it mean he knew all along? "How do you mean, honey?" My voice trembled, "You know Ethan was your Dad?" "I just felt it," He shrugged his shoulders with a bitter smile, "The way I feel calm around Mr. Ethan was unusual and whenever I look at him... it i

I have to tell Jay the truth before he hears it from Ethan. I stepped into my car and allowed my tears out while squeezing my chest which was burning with pain. I never thought this day would come. The day when I have to share Jay with Ethan, the man who doesn't hesitate to throw us out because of a woman. "Ahh!!" I groaned, wiping my tears. No one understands the pain of losing a child better than the mother.I drove to work feeling completely drained. My mind kept replaying the events from earlier. The thought made my heart ache, but I pushed it aside as I walked into the office building. I smiled faintly at the receptionist as I passed, though I barely saw her. My head was a mess, my heart even worse. By the time I reached my office, I felt like I was carrying a mountain on my shoulders. I dropped my bag on the desk

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 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!
