Sonia I stood at the backstage, my heart racing as I watched Clare present her designs. I could hear my team cheering me on, their encouragement calmed my nerves a bit. “You’ve got this, Sonia,” Tina whispered, giving me a reassuring smile. “Clare’s designs are good, but yours are better and I can't wait for you to blow them away with your designs.” I smiled, trying to convince myself she was right, but the knot in my stomach only tightened. As Clare finished her presentation, I quickly fumbled through my bag to grab my flash drive. All my hard work was stored there, ready to go for my turn. I could already picture myself standing on stage, confidently presenting my designs. But then, I froze. The flash drive wasn’t there. Panic hit me like a tidal wave. I checked the bag again, frantically, hoping it had somehow slipped to the bottom. But no... It wasn't there. “What’s wrong?” Tina’s voice cracked through the panic clouding my thoughts. “I can’t find my flash drive,”
Sonia I stood up, frozen for a moment as I tried to comprehend what was happening. The door creaked open and I saw Alex standing in the doorway. The moment I saw him, I couldn’t hold it in anymore. My body shook with relief and fear, and I collapsed into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. He caught me easily, his strong arms wrapping around me. “Sonia, are you okay? What happened? Are you hurt?” His voice was calm, but I could hear the tension in it, the concern that matched my panic. I nodded, my chest tight with emotion. “I... I'm fine, Alex. But... I didn't know what... Happen. I couldn't find my flash drive... And someone locked me in here. I don’t know who, but I think the person doesn't want me to make my presentation." My voice cracked as I tried to explain what had happened, but the words felt so jumbled in my head. " Shhh... It's okay, I'm here now." Alex pulled away and wiped the tears off my face. His touch was gentle, his eyes soft, but there was a fire in them too.
Alex I sat on my seat with my eyes fixed on Clare who was wrapping up her presentation. The crowd clapped politely, but I could already tell they weren’t that impressed with her design. Her designs were good, sure... but not great.I leaned back in my chair, staring at the empty stage where Sonia would soon stand. My heart pounded slightly. I couldn’t wait to see her designs. Is not like I haven't seen it before, I have seen a few of her designs and they were incredible. Unlike Clare’s predictable patterns, Sonia’s work was fresh, bold, and unique. Her designs were the kind you didn’t see anywhere else.... like rare gems. That’s why I trusted her to make this presentation a success. I knew after today, investors would be lining up, eager to work with my company. But this is not just about business now, it is about proving something. I glanced at Clare, who was beaming as she stepped off the stage, acting like she had won already. I smiled softly as I remembered how she had com
Alex Damn it! I never knew the idiot would have the guts to fire at me but anyway, I was quick to dodge the bullet and it shattered the glass behind me. Before he could take another shot, my security team responded. They shot his leg and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his leg and screaming in pain. “Don’t kill me! Please, have mercy!" he cried in pain, tears streaming down his face. "You have the guts, the temerity to shoot at me?!" I asked through gritted teeth as I was breathless with anger. “Please... Please... Don't kill me, I have a wife and kids!” He pleaded, still holding his leg that was bleeding. I stepped closer, my anger boiling over. “You should’ve thought about them before shooting at me, before you chose to ruin someone else’s life!"He sobbed, but I didn’t care. I turned to my men. “Get him out of here. And make sure he doesn’t see daylight for a very long time.” I wanted to hand him over to the authorities but for him to have the guts and shoot at me,
Sonia I took a deep breath before opening the door and I felt my heart skip a beat when I saw him. He looked more handsome as he dressed casually in a navy blue shirt and jeans. The way he smiled at me sent butterflies to my stomach. “Good morning,” he said, his voice soft and calm. “Morning,” I replied, swallowing hard as I stepped aside to let him in. Jay came running out of the living room. “Daddy!” he shouted, running from the living room and throwing himself into Ethan’s arms. Ethan grinned, lifting Jay from the ground. “Hey, buddy! Look at you..... It's as if you’re getting taller every day!” he teases. Jay giggled. “No, I’m not! Mommy says I’m still short.” I rolled my eyes playfully. “I said you’re just perfect.” Ethan looked at me, his eyes soft. “He is perfect. Just like his mom.” I looked away quickly. “Would you like something to eat?” I asked as he sat down on the couch with Jay on his lap. Ethan blinked, clearly surprised. “Eat?” I crossed my arms a
Sonia By the time we got home, I was completely exhausted. My headache was creeping back, and all I wanted to do was rest. Ethan must have noticed because he suddenly said, “You relax. I’ll make dinner.” I blinked at him. “What? No, you don’t have to.” “Please, Mommy,” Jay interrupted. “I want to see if Daddy’s food tastes as good as yours.” I opened my mouth to protest, but Ethan smirked. “You heard the boss. Looks like I’m cooking tonight.” I sighed in defeat. “Fine. But don’t burn my kitchen.” Ethan chuckled. “Trust me. I will sweep you off your feet with my cooking skills,” he said with confidence and went to the kitchen with Jay. As I sat on the couch, I watched him roll up his sleeves and get to work. He looked so handsome, like a perfect husband and for the first time, our home felt warm, and enjoyable like the family I always dreamed of having. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I might never have that perfect family, all this is just for today and it made
EthanI couldn’t wipe the smile off my face as I drove home. Sonia was finally allowing me back into her life, allowing me to be a part of Jay’s life again. It... It felt like a dream. This is something I have been waiting for my entire life and it is finally happening. The dinner we shared earlier, the way Jay had looked at me with such joy, and Sonia’s smile... It was like we were a family again. For the first time, everything felt right. I wanted it to last forever.I pulled into the driveway, my heart still filled with excitement.When I stepped into the living room, The maids greeted me. "Welcome, sir." They greeted, "Dinner is ready, should we serve you?" "No, I have eaten," I said with a smile and made my way to my room. I decided to freshen up as soon as I stepped into my room. I hummed a song as I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom. I was so happy, I felt alive, it like I was walking on air.My phone was ringing by the time I finished taking a shower. I wrapp
Ethan I swung the door open with my trembling hand, expecting to see Sonia and Jay, but the doorway was empty. I quickly stepped outside and that was when I saw Sonia’s car speeding away. A cold sweat ran down my, my heart pounding in my chest. No! No!!. This is not happening. What am I going to do? "Did Sonia hear my conversation with Celine?" Different thoughts run through my head. “Damn it!” I cursed under my breath, my pulse quickening. She must have seen Celine or worse, heard something. My stomach twisted. This is my greatest fear. I knew Sonia would never trust me again, not after everything I put her through and now, this... This mess with Celine would make it worse. I pulled out my phone, my fingers trembling as I dialed her number. It rang once, then it went straight to voicemail. “No... no, no, no.” I paced back and forth, running my hand through my hair in frustration. I dialed again. “Pick up, Sonia, pick up!!" I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper.

EthanI was fuming with anger as I paced forth and back in my room, my fists clenching and unclenching as the memory of Daniel’s smug face burned in my mind. "Fuck!!" I punched the wall in frustration, My knuckles throbbed but the pain didn’t bother me as all I could think about was the way Daniel looked at Sonia as if she already belonged to him. His words kept replaying in my head. "I will take Sonia away from you."I gritted my teeth, my chest tightening. That bastard! The way he patted Sonia's head made my blood boil. And the worst part? Sonia didn’t even stop him. She let him touch her and she even smiled at him. "Gush!!" I wanted to grab him by the collar and throw him out of her house, but Jay’s laughter stopped me. I couldn’t lose control in front of my son, not when I was trying to be a better father for him. But Sonia… Damn It!!She didn’t believe me when I warned her about Daniel. She thought I was just some jealous ex-husband who couldn’t stand seeing her with a
