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 left my lawyer's office with my heart heavy with worries. The thought of losing Jay made my heart ache with pain but it seems there is nothing I can do. 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

    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

    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 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

    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

    SoniaI was confused when Ethan drove into a massive building I didn’t recognize.This wasn’t a restaurant. I stared out the window, my brows furrowed. What are we doing here? I had never seen this company before... it looked brand new, with bright banners, and fresh paint and decorators were still working inside.But what really caught my attention was how everyone greeted Ethan with familiarity and respect like this wasn’t his first visit here.I wanted to ask a hundred questions but I held them back. I simply got out of the car and followed him quietly, trying to make sense of everything.We went from the first floor to the second… then the third… the fourth… all the way to the fifth. The building was buzzing with activity. New employees, computers being set up, teams in meetings… I could tell this place was growing but still, Ethan said nothing.Finally, we stepped into a private elevator. He pressed the button for the sixth floor and I glanced at him but his face gave nothing aw

    Sonia“So, Mommy… am I going to have a baby sister?” Jay asked with so much excitement in his eyes. His little hands rested on my still-flat stomach like he was already trying to feel his sibling.I smiled and gently placed my hand over his. “Maybe. You will soon have a baby sister or brother.”Jay’s face instantly twisted into a frown when he heard me. “No, not a brother. I want a baby sister,” he said, pouting and crossing his arms like he already made up his mind.I couldn’t help but laugh at his seriousness. “Anyone is good, baby. We will love them just the same.”Jay has been so overjoyed ever since Ethan told him I was pregnant. The way he jumped around the hospital room, asking a thousand questions, almost brought tears to my eyes. He didn’t even wait for confirmation as he had already taken on the role of a big brother with pride.Honestly, I am still trying to believe that I am pregnant myself.It sounded strange in my head. My body still looked the same. No signs, no change

    EthanThe night felt endless as I stayed by Sonia’s side, watching her closely. Every now and then, she would stir, mumbling something I couldn’t understand, then drift back into sleep. Each time she moved, my heart raced. I informed the doctor about it and he explained that it was the medication and that her body was still adjusting, and still healing. But it didn’t make it any easier to watch her like that.I don't know how long I must have fallen asleep beside her. My head was resting on the edge of the bed, my fingers still laced with hers until I heard her voice.The voice was soft and weak but it was her.“Ethan…” She called weakly.My eyes snapped open. I lifted my head, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. “Sonia?” I said, my voice low and hopeful.She turned her head slightly and looked at me. Her eyes were clearer now. Her lips parted again. “Water… I want water.”Relief flooded me like a wave. “You’re awake,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips. I stood quickly and

    Ethan I sat quietly beside Sonia’s hospital bed, my fingers gently wrapped around hers. The beeping of the machines was soft and steady, proof that she was still breathing, still alive. That alone gave me peace.The doctor had asked me to wait outside, saying she needed rest. But I couldn’t. I needed to see her. After all that happened tonight, I had to be close to her even if it was just to sit in silence. I begged the doctor until he gave in, on the condition that I wouldn’t disturb her.Disturb her? How could I ever?I leaned down and kissed the back of her hand softly. She looked so fragile, bandaged and pale, but she was still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and now, she is carrying my child... Our child.God… I still couldn’t believe it. After everything, after all the pain I put her through... Sonia is pregnant.A tear slipped from my eye before I could stop it.She has brought nothing but light into my life, even when I didn’t deserve it. Maybe this baby is a secon

    EthanHis eyes burned with rage and madness as he raised his gun. I lifted mine but he was quick as he kicked my hand so hard the gun flew out of my grip and I crashed to the ground.Pain shot through my wrist but before I could move, he was standing over me, pointing the barrel of his gun right at my head.“This is the end of the road for you, Ethan,” he sneered, his lips curling into a sick smile. “Like I said… tonight, you die.”I could feel the heat of the barrel on my forehead, but I didn’t panic. I waited just for the right moment.“Not so fast,” I muttered.And with all my strength, I slammed my fist into his chest, sending him stumbling backward. The moment he hit the ground, I quickly stood up and delivered a hard punch to his stomach. He groaned in pain, cursing, but I didn’t stop. I hit him again and again, each blow fueled by every ounce of hatred I had buried in me.I rushed over and picked up my gun.This is it. I was going to end it but before I could pull the trigger,

    Ethan“Thank God you are safe,” I whispered, pulling Sonia into my arms like my life depended on it. And maybe it did.Her body trembled slightly against mine. “Ethan… Daniel is the owner of the company. He’s alive,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.“I know,” I murmured, brushing her hair back and kissing her forehead gently. “You are safe now and that is all that matters.”“Boss,” Dave’s voice broke through the moment, low and tense. He had his gun raised with his eyes scanning the darkness. “We need to move. Now.”I grabbed Sonia’s hand tightly and we rushed toward the exit. My only thought was to get her out of there alive.But just as we stepped into the compound, one of my guards stumbled toward me, his uniform torn, blood staining his shirt.“Boss… Phyl has been killed. I barely made it out,” he panted, collapsing to his knees.“What?” I froze. My breath caught in my throat. Phyl… He was the one who exchanged dresses with me and followed the tracker.“How?” I demanded

    EthanMy fingers tremble slightly as I pulled out my phone and called my guards.“Get the car ready,” I ordered, my voice sharper than usual. “And make sure you get your guns with you. We are going out.”“Yes, boss. We would do that right away,” the guard replied before hanging up.I dropped the phone and reached into my drawer, pulling out two pistols. I handed one to Dave, who took it without saying a word, then tucked the other one at the back of my trousers. My mind was racing faster than the beating of my heart.It was getting dark. The sky was already dressed in deep blue shadows and according to Dave, the location was two hours away. That meant we had to move fast.“You ready?” I asked, slipping on my blackface cap.Dave gave a nod, his eyes focused as he checked the gun in his hand. “Ready.”We left my study room and headed to the garage. My men were already there, standing alert. Their faces tightened when they saw me like they could feel the storm inside me.“You four,” I p

    EthanI couldn't sit still. My gut told me something was wrong.Sonia left over six hours ago to meet that so-called business partner and she hasn't returned.I should have stopped her. I should have trusted my instincts and not her words. But the way she looked at me, so sure, so determined... I couldn’t say no and I don't want her to think that I am trying to control her.Now, I am beginning to regret it. Every second she’s not back feels like a knife twisting in my chest.I walked over to the window, staring out as if I would suddenly see her walking up the driveway with that gentle smile on her face but I didn't.I sighed, pulled out my phone and dialed her number again. It rang severally but she wasn't answering.I tried again but still, she wasn't answering.God, She never ignores my calls like this. Especially not when she knows I will be worried."Hmm..." I ran a hand through my hair, trying to steady my breathing. Maybe she is still in the meeting. Maybe she lost track of ti

    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
