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

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Chasing Back My Ex-wife    chapter 71

    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. "Okay, you wi

    CelineI woke up to the faint beeping of machines and the smell of antiseptics. My body ached, and I could barely move. I blinked my eyes slowly as I tried to focus and that was when I realized I was in a hospital room. Then, the memories of the accident came rushing back, giving me a headache. I tried to sit up but pain shot through my head and stomach, forcing me to lie back on the bed with a groan. The door opened and a doctor walked in, smiling warmly. “Oh, you’re awake,” he said with a smile as he walked to my side. “What happened?” I whispered, my throat dried, my voice barely above a whisper. "I need water," I said, holding my chest that was burning. “You were involved in an accident,” he explained, handing me a glass of water. “But you’re stable now. With a little rest, you’ll be discharged in a couple of days.” I nodded slightly, trying to process his words as I gulped down the whole glass of water. Then, a terrible realization struck me. Something felt... wrong.

    Sonia "Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed, staring at my phone with my heart pounding as I scrolled through the trending news online. Ethan and Alex were all over the internet. Videos of their fight had gone viral, and the comments were cruel. How could Ethan fight with Alex? What happened between them? I had been trying to reach Alex since last night but he wasn't picking up my calls or responding to my messages. The thought of him ignoring me made my stomach churn with anxiety. I needed to hear his side of the story before I even thought about speaking to Ethan. Ethan has called me several times this morning but I ignored him. I am not ready to listen to his excuses until I hear the truth from Alex. **********The following Monday, I went through my normal routine of dropping Jay at school before driving to the office. I arrived at work, feeling a knot of tension in my stomach as I parked at the parking lot. As soon as I stepped out of my car, I was shocked by the number of r

    Sonia"Ms. Sonia. You are here?" I heard Tara's voice from behind as I was stepping out of Alex’s office. I spun around and spotted her hurrying toward me with her face lit up with excitement. “Congratulations, Ms. Sonia!” she smiled brightly, practically bouncing on her feet. I frowned, completely confused. “Congratulations? For what?” Tara grinned wider. “Oh, come on! It’s no secret anymore. Everyone in the office knows you’re dating Mr. Alex.” I froze, my stomach flipping. “What?” Tara nodded with excitement. “The news is all over social media. People are saying you two make a nice couple.” I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I didn't think about the effect of my words earlier with the reporters as I never knew it would turn out like this. Now, it seems like the entire office now believes that I was dating Alex. As if to confirm Tara’s words, a few passing staff members greeted me with extra respect, their smiles a little too wider than normal. Whoa! This is getti

    Ethan"Wow!!!! I kissed Sonia, she allowed me to kiss her." I giggled, smiling like a high school boy who just got his first kiss. I feel like I'm flying over the moon as I leave Sonia’s office feeling a strange mix of happiness and satisfaction.You know, This morning, I was furious, my blood boiling with anger when I saw the news of Sonia claiming to date Alex. Even though I was angry, deep down I knew she was lying. I know Sonia better than anyone, and no matter how angry she is with me, she still loves me. And now, after what just happened in her office, I have no doubt that she still loves me. As I walked to my car, I touched my lips and smiled. That kiss... That kiss was awesome, I just feel that moment shouldn't end, I have been craving for it and I can't wait to have her pin to my bed while she shouts my name in the most romantic manner. I was glad she didn’t push me away or resist. I saw how she melted into it, even if she never admitted it out loud. That was enough fo

    EthanAfter our steamy moment together, I carried Sonia to the bathroom, not wanting her to lift a finger.She was still breathing softly against my chest, her skin flushed and glowing.God, she is so beautiful.I turned on the warm water and held her carefully, bathing her like she was the most delicate thing in the world.My hands moved slowly, gently washing her body, taking my time to show her just how much she meant to me.She closed her eyes, resting her head against me, smiling sweetly at me and I swear, my heart grew even bigger for her.After I finished bathing her, Sonia smiled up at me again and said, “Now, let me take care of you.”Before I could say anything, she poured soap into her small hands and started rubbing it gently into my hair.Her fingers massaged my scalp slowly, tenderly, making me close my eyes and melt under her touch.She was treating me like I was some kind of king at a beauty spa, and I have never felt so loved... so seen... in my entire life.She poure

    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
