Ethan

The security guard at the restaurant gave me a polite nod as I stepped out of my car and walked inside. My mind was racing, but I masked it with a calm expression.

I promised Jay ice cream yesterday when I went to see him at school and I don't want to break that promise even if Sonia has made it clear she doesn't want me near her house again.

I didn’t blame her, not after everything that happened. Still, I couldn’t stay away completely. Jay is my son and every moment I spent with him reminded me of what I have lost.

Yesterday at school, The way he ran into my arms, so full of excitement, had left me stunned.

“Why did you travel so suddenly?” he had asked. “We came to your house and Mommy said you traveled for an emergency business trip."

I froze when he said that, my heart sinking and I sighed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, He didn't overhear my conversation with Celine and I thank God, Sonia didn't tell him anything.

I felt relief wash over me in that moment, but

    SoniaI held Jay’s hand tightly as we walked to the car, my heart still pounding from the panic I felt earlier. I opened the car door and motioned him to get in. “Don’t ever wander off like that again, Jay!” I warned, my voice louder and filled with anger. “Do you have any idea how worried I was?” Jay looked up at me, his eyes wide and filled with guilt. “I’m sorry, Mom,” he said softly, lowering his head as he climbed into the car. I exhaled slowly, trying to calm myself before starting the engine. The drive home was quiet. I glanced at Jay through the rearview mirror and felt my chest tighten. He looked so sad, his little shoulders slumped, and his usual bright smile gone. Guilt gnawed at me. I didn’t mean to snap at him like that. I was just scared, terrified that something bad had happened to him. When I couldn’t find him, My mind had jumped to the worst possibilities, and even now, I couldn’t shake the lingering fear. As I drove into the compound and pulled into the

    Sonia I woke up feeling completely drained. My body ached as if I had been running a marathon in my sleep, and the pounding in my head made it even worse. I groaned softly, pulling the blanket over my head, but the sound of footsteps made me peek out. “Mom?” Jay’s voice called, and I looked up to see him standing at the door, already dressed and ready for school. I smiled weakly. “Good morning, sweetheart.” Jay frowned and walked over to sit beside me. “Are you okay? Why are you still in bed?” I sat up slowly, brushing my hair away from my face. “I’m fine, Jay. Just a little tired.” I replied, stretching my limbs tiredly. He didn’t look convinced. “Did you eat last night?” I laughed and ruffled his hair. “Stop worrying about me, mister. I’ll be fine. Go eat your breakfast while I get ready, okay?” Jay hesitated, then nodded. “Don’t take too long. We’re late already.” I sighed and grabbed my phone from the nightstand, flipping it open to check the time. My eyes widen

    SoniaI was about to leave my office when the door suddenly opened, making my heart skip a beat. Jay walked in, holding Ethan’s hand. “Mommy!” He called, running toward me. "Jay!" I crouched down and hugged him tightly, relief washing over me. “Are you okay, baby?” I asked, searching his face. “I’m fine,” he said, smiling. My relief quickly turned into anger as I looked up and saw Ethan, smiling at me, standing calmly and relaxed. “What gives you the right to pick up my son without my permission?” I asked, my eyes laced with anger. Ethan frowns before turning his gaze at me. “Jay called me. He said he was still at school and couldn’t reach you. I figured out you were busy, so I decided to go get him.” “I don’t need your help,” I snapped. “I’m perfectly capable of taking care of my son.” Ethan’s calm expression hardened slightly, you could see he was fighting so hard to control his anger. “Sonia, Jay is my son too. I have every right to pick him up, especially if he’s wai

    Ethan I went back to the office to attend to some paperwork before going home in the evening. As I was driving home, my thoughts shifted to Celine. Ever since she told me she was pregnant, I have been avoiding her. Staying late at work and even sleeping in the office, you know, just anything to avoid the confrontation I knew was coming. As I pulled into the driveway, I sat in the car for a moment, gripping the wheel. My heart pounded as I tried to steady my breathing. I knew there was no escaping this anymore. I just have to face it now or never. I sighed heavily before stepping out of the car and as I stepped into the living room, I met her waiting for me. It was as if she knew I would be coming home tonight. I pretended I didn't notice her as I headed upstairs to my room. I could hear her footsteps following me, but I didn’t stop. When I got to my room, I tried to close the door, but she shoved it open and stepped in. “So, you finally decided to come home today huh ?” she

    AlexWhen Sonia told me Jay was with her at the office, I felt relieved. I could only imagine how scared she must have been earlier, but knowing they were now together calmed me a bit. I decided to stop by a nearby restaurant on my way to the office. Jay has been at school all day, and I figured he might be hungry. The Sonia I knew too well wouldn’t leave the office until every task was complete. It was one of the things I admired about her, her dedication, but it also worried me. The stress is becoming too much for her. I walked to the counter and ordered food and ice cream. Sonia has told me how Jay loves ice cream and I knew Jay would be happy when I gave him. I placed the food on the passenger seat and drove to the office. As I drove, my thoughts drifted to Jay. Things haven't been easy with him. He keeps his distance whenever I visit Sonia as he barely speaks to me unless it is necessary. I understand that he wasn't used to me but it still stung although, he started ope

    Alex“Ethan, I didn’t betray you,” I said softly with a smirk which only annoyed Ethan. “I’m only carrying out the instructions you gave me.” Ethan’s face twisted with rage. He stepped closer, his voice rising with anger. “Instructions? Do you think this is you helping me? I trusted you, Alex. I thought you were my friend! Instead, you stab me in the back?” I looked straight into his eyes even though his words made me shiver. “I didn’t betray you,” I replied but I could feel the tension in the air thickening. Ethan scoffed and took another step forward. “Don’t play innocent. I’m trying to win my wife back, Alex. Sonia is mine, and I won’t let you interfere. Stop trying to get close to her and Jay? Stay away from my son!"His words hit me like a punch to the gut, my chest fuming with anger. I clenched my fists as I couldn't keep my calm face anymore. “Do you hear yourself, Ethan?” I said angrily. “You’re the one who brought me into this. You called me and begged me to help you

    AlexI stood up, wiping the dust off my clothes as my body ached from Ethan’s punches. My lip throbbed, and the taste of blood lingered in my mouth. But the worst part wasn’t the pain I was feeling, it was the humiliation. I looked up and saw the crowd gathered, their eyes fixed on me like I was some spectacle, making my anger burn hotter. Ethan dared to humiliate me like this? In public? I hissed in pain as I pulled out my handkerchief and used it to wipe the blood on my lip before throwing it away. The way the crowd gave me a pitied look made my blood boil with fury. “What are you all staring at?!” I snapped, my voice loud and filled with anger. The onlookers quickly scattered, some pretending they hadn’t been staring in the first place. Bunch of Cowards. I turned and walked toward my car, each step heavy with anger. I was about to open the car door when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I frown before pulling it out. Sonia?My heart skipped a beat when I saw Sonia's na

    Ethan “Ethan! Ethan!!" Celine’s angry voice jolted me up from sleep. I groaned, pulling the duvet over my head, hoping she would go away but no such luck. “Ethan!” she yelled again, louder this time as she barged into my room. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my face as I adjusted my eyes to the morning light. Celine walked in and stood by the bed with her phone in her hand while glaring at me as if she was ready to explode. “What is it, Celine?” I muttered, my voice heavy with irritation. “What’s your problem this early morning?” She scoffed, her eyes narrowing. “My problem? Ethan? That’s what you’re saying?” “I don’t have time for this,” I replied, waving her off as I swung my legs off the bed. “You don’t have time for this?” she snapped, stepping closer. “You’ve been ignoring me and your unborn child for weeks while you go around town chasing anything under skirt?” “What nonsense are you even talking about?” I asked, trying to keep my temper in control.

    Alex "Sonia… I'm sorry!" I called out, my voice filled with desperation but she didn’t stop. She just kept running. Fuck! I ran after her, my heart pounding but before I could reach the garage, the sound of an engine roaring to life made me freeze. No… I watched helplessly as Sonia sped out of the driveway, disappearing into the busy road. "Dammit!" I shouted, raking my fingers through my hair. I didn't mean for things to go this far. I didn't mean to force myself on her. I am not that kind of man. But Sonia… Sonia is driving me insane. She kept pushing me away and I am losing control. I am losing her. I spun around and stormed back to my office, grabbing my phone off the desk. My fingers trembled as I dialed her number. The phone rang but there was no answer. I called again but it was still the same thing. I sent a text. Then another. Then another but no reply. I knew she must be angry with me right now. Dropping my phone onto the desk, I let out a frustrated sigh

    CelineI drove out of the hospital with a smirk tugging at my lips. Foolish Tina. She believed me again, just like always. But this isn't over yet. I have to deal with Sonia and fast. Tina shifted in her seat. "Drop me off at Alex’s mansion," she said. I glanced at her, raising a brow. "You’re still staying there?" She shook her head. "Not for long. I’ve secured an apartment. I’ll be moving in next week." I scoffed. "Why not stay with Alex? You know, Men can not be trusted, Tina." She gave me a small smile. "I trust Alex. Besides, I don’t want people talking." Well, I don't want to argue with her. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine." Minutes later, I pulled up in front of Alex’s mansion. As she stepped out, she turned to me, concerned flickering in her eyes. "You should get that cheek treated. It’s still swollen." I forced a smile and nodded. "I will." She shut the door and I sped off. Going home isn't an option for me now. If my parents saw my face like this, t

    CelineA sharp sting spread across my cheek as I held my face, my fingers trembling against the burning pain. I knew without looking that my skin was already swelling, Sonia’s fingerprints imprinted on it. Sonia. That pathetic excuse for a woman actually has the nerve to slap me? My blood boiled. "You dare lay your filthy hands on me?" I hissed, my voice shaking with fury. "And you even have the audacity to call me a whore with that stinking mouth of yours?" Sonia’s eyes blazed with confidence, something she never had before. It sent an uneasy chill through me. "Are you not?" she shot back, folding her arms. "You’re only with Ethan for his money, playing the devoted fiancée while sneaking around like the cheating snake that you are." My stomach twisted. "How… how did she know that?"I forced a smirk, masking my shock. "Watch your tongue, Sonia before I make you regret it." She laughed, a slow, mocking laugh that sent another shiver down my spine. "Oh, Celine," she sai

    Sonia“I’m sorry, Alex,” I said softly, stepping back. “I already told you how I feel about Ethan.” I removed his hand from my waist but before I could take another step, Alex pulled me back, his grip was so strong that I couldn't move.Then, before I knew what was happening, his lips crashed against mine. I gasped in shock, my hands pushing against his chest but he didn’t stop. He kissed me hungrily, like a starved beast, his hands roaming over my body, making my heart pounded in fear. “Alex, stop...” I tried to push him off but he wasn’t listening. He lifted me onto my desk, his hands sliding up my gown. A shiver of disgust ran through me as he cupped my breast, squeezing it softly. No... No... I have to do something. With all the strength I could muster, I shoved him away and slapped him hard across the face. Breathing heavily, I quickly gathered the scattered documents from the floor, my hands shaking. Without sparing him another glance, I turned and bolted out of the

    Sonia"Your wound is healing fast," The doctor told Ethan as he carefully changed his bandages and gave him an injection. Ethan was improving every day but the doctor insisted he stay a few more days to complete his treatment. Ethan has also instructed Dave to call someone to repair the part of the mansion that was damaged by the fire and this morning, Dave informed him that the repairs were already done. I was still sitting beside Ethan when my phone suddenly began ring. "Mommy, your phone," Jay said, bringing it to me. I glanced at the screen and frowned when I saw Alex’s name flashing on the screen. It has been five days since I last texted him about Ethan and Jay’s condition. I even mentioned that I was staying at the hospital with them but he never replied. I called him a few times, too, but he ignored my calls. So why is he calling now? "You’re not answering?" Ethan’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. With a heavy sigh, I picked up the call. "Good morning, Son

    SoniaIt’s been two days since I have been at the hospital. Jay is much better now, finally strong enough to be discharged. But Ethan… Ethan is still in a coma and the longer he stays like this, the more my fear grows. The doctor has assured me he would wake up within twenty-four hours, but it’s been forty-two hours and there is still no sign of him opening his eyes. God, please… let him be okay.“Mom, Dad is still not awake…” Jay’s small, worried voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I quickly wiped away my tears, forcing a smile as I turned to him. “Yes, sweetheart, but the doctor said he will wake up soon,” I reassured him, glancing at Ethan, who lay motionless on the bed. Jay sniffled. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I put Daddy in this mess…” His voice cracked and tears slipped down his cheeks. My heart ached. He has been blaming himself since he woke up and no matter how much I tried to convince him it was an accident, he wouldn’t listen. He barely ate and barely slept, He just kept

    SoniaMy heart was beating so fast, I thought it would stop. Jay is upstairs. My baby is up there and the house is on fire. What am I going to do?I wanted to run to him but I couldn’t even breathe. Thick smoke filled the entire living room. My eyes burned and every breath felt like fire in my chest.“You have to go outside!” Ethan shouted at me, grabbing my hand.“No! Jay is still up there!” I coughed hard, tears mixing with the smoke in my eyes. “I can’t leave him!”The guards rushed in. Ethan turned to them quickly. “Call the fire service now!” he yelled, his voice full of fear.Then he pointed at one of them. “Take Sonia outside. I’m going to get Jay.”“No, please!” I tried to stop him but I was already choking. I couldn’t see anything clearly anymore.One of the guards pulled me toward the door. I didn’t want to go but I couldn’t fight him. My legs were weak and my lungs burned.As soon as I got outside, fresh air hit my face. I dropped to my knees, coughing and crying at the sa

    SoniaThe ride to the office was painfully quiet. Alex hadn't said a single word since we left his penthouse. He just kept his eyes on the road, his jaw clenched, his hands gripping the steering wheel like he was holding himself together. The silence was suffocating. I shifted in my seat, stealing a glance at him. I could see the storm behind his calm expression. He wasn’t just upset, he was heartbroken and I hated that I was the reason for it. I never expected Alex to propose to me again and not when my heart still belonged to someone else. Maybe I should have been clearer from the start, but deep down, I think I knew. I knew he had feelings for me and still, I let him get closer. Maybe I was selfish… or maybe I was just lonely. But I couldn’t keep pretending. Not with Alex. He didn’t deserve that. I turned him down again and it broke his heart. I saw it in his eyes. The truth is, I still love Ethan. As crazy and painful as that sounds, it’s the truth. Despite everythin

    Alex "You mean after making me come late to work, you still want me in bed?" Sonia's soft laugh echoed from inside her office, slicing through my heart like a dagger. "You're so naughty, Ethan." I froze. My blood boiled instantly, rage climbing through me like wildfire. My fist clenched so tight I could feel my nails digging into my palm. Sonia… and Ethan? Sonia has been sleeping with Ethan and she pretended she didn't have any feelings for him? “Fuck,” I cursed under my breath, slamming my fist into the wall beside me. The pain didn’t even register. All I could see was red. So, all this time, she was just playing along? Is it all an act? Is Ethan the reason she kept me at arm’s length? And I thought she was beginning to fall for me. God, I’m a fool. I took a shaky breath, trying to calm myself. Well, This didn’t change anything. No, it only made me more desperate to make her mine. If plan A doesn’t work, then I will go with plan B. Either way, I am claiming Sonia one w
