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.

    SoniaMy hands trembled on the steering wheel as I drove home. Tears of heartbreak blurred my vision as my chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing the air out of me, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop Celine’s voice from echoing in my head. “I’m pregnant, Ethan.” Those words stabbed my heart like a knife, over and over again. I could still hear Ethan’s voice, the disbelief, the hesitation, and then the worst part... his silence. I blinked my eyes, pushing the tears back, but they kept falling. My heart felt like it was shattered into a thousand pieces, too broken to ever be whole again. How could he do this to me again? I thought he had changed. I thought he meant it when he said he cared, when he said he wanted to fix things. Just last night, I stupidly decided to give him a chance for the sake of Jay, to let him back into our life while forgetting that he still has feelings for Celine, that he would always choose her over me. "Ahh!!" I'm such a fool to

    SoniaI woke up the next morning with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. My entire body felt heavy as if the weight of yesterday’s pain had seeped into my bones. I let out a shaky breath and glanced at the clock. It was already past eight. I thank God today is Sunday because I don't think I am strong enough to go to work.I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and the person staring right back at me made my stomach twist.My eyes were red and puffy, my face pale and lifeless. I looked like a woman who had lost everything, like the woman from five years ago. I splashed cold water on my face, hoping it would bring me back to reality but no amount of water could cleanse the ache in my chest. I forced myself downstairs and headed straight to the kitchen. I wasn’t hungry, I haven't been since yesterday but Jay needed to eat. I couldn’t let my pain affect him. I brewed some tea, fried eggs, and toasted bread. The smell of fo

    Ethan “Wake, wakee!!”I heard a voice and I groaned, half-asleep as I felt someone tapping me softly.Slowly, I squeezed my eyes open and instantly, every ounce of sleepiness in me vanished when I saw Sonia.Her beautiful smile was the first thing I saw this morning and God, it made my heart skip.“Good morning, my love,” she whispered before pressing her soft lips against mine in a tender kiss.I couldn’t help but smile against her mouth.If there is a perfect way to wake up, this has to be it.“Good morning, my beauty queen,” I teased, reaching out and pulling her into the bed with me, making her squeal lightly.I gazed at her, completely captivated by her beauty. Her hair was a bit messy, her cheeks still rosy and her eyes sparkling just for me.She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.“Do you want me to always teach you how to kiss properly?” I teased again, rolling over and pinning her gently to the bed.“Ethan!” she giggled, swatting at my chest. “It’s too early for t

    CelineFuck!!I screamed as I threw my phone on the bed with all the strength I had when I got another messages and calls from my friends, all demanding to know what Was going on with Ethan and me.God! I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t fucking believe it!Ethan… really go that far?He bought that witch a whole company. A whole goddamn company! And as if that wasn’t enough to make me lose my mind, the bastard had the audacity to go online and publicly announce that he had broken up with me and proposed to Sonia.And now? He plans to remarry her in the next two months? TWO MONTHS?!I paced the room like a wild animal, my body vibrating with rage and jealousy. My hands were trembling. My heart was pounding so loud I thought it might explode. Every time I blinked, all I could see was that stupid smile on Sonia’s face and Ethan looking at her like she was some goddess.Disgusting.I grabbed my phone again and stared at the screen. Their photos were everywhere, Instagram, Twitter, and news

    AlexI let out a long breath and dropped the phone on the table. My eyes shifted to my secretary, who was still scrolling through the ridiculous online praise.“Cancel all my appointments today,” I ordered."Alright, sir." He didn’t ask why as he just nodded and left the study room.I stood and headed to my room. I needed to freshen up before the storm arrived. And trust me when I say Celine is a storm, a bitter one at that.After my shower, I dragged myself to the dining table, barely touching the food in front of me. My appetite was gone, drowned by the bitterness rising in my chest.I was just pushing the plate away after taking a bite when my phone buzzed again.My heart thudded in my chest when I saw that it was my dad.He must have seen the news. Nothing ever escapes that old man. He probably already had five plans written up on how I failed and another ten on how I should fix it.I stared at the screen as it kept ringing, my fingers hovering above the phone but I didn’t answer.

    AlexI sat behind my desk with my fists clenched and my jaw locked in anger as my secretary was reading the online comments out loud with his voice filled with excitement like this was some fairytale ending."Ethan is the kind of man every woman dreams of, loyal, rich, romantic. Sonia is so lucky!""This is what love looks like! A man who believes in his woman and invests in her future!""Power couple of the year... Sonia and Ethan are unstoppable!""Sonia is not just beautiful, she’s smart, resilient, and now a CEO of one of the biggest companies... Ethan is a real one for this!""Stop!" I barked, my voice echoing through the office.The room went silent. I could hear my heartbeat thudding like a war drum in my ears.I couldn’t listen to that nonsense anymore. I didn’t need a reminder of how Ethan just flipped the entire city’s attention with one move. I never even saw that company before. Never heard a word about it until now. He kept it so hidden, so quiet.That bastard is just lik

    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,
