Alex

When 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

    EthanCeline’s hands caress my chest, her touch making me uncomfortable. I shifted slightly, trying to keep my composure as I didn't want to make her feel as if I was disgusted by her touch. I turned to face her and I noticed the glint in her eyes as she leaned in, trying to kiss me. I raised my hand and gently placed it on her lips to stop her. "Uhm... Celine, You need to rest," I said, keeping my voice calm. Her brows furrowed in frustration. "Rest? Are you now a doctor that will tell me when to rest Or is it that you don’t want to kiss me anymore?" she questioned, her voice laced with irritation. I wiped my head in frustration. She just lost her child and what she could think of is a kiss? Gush, I can't believe this! "It’s not that," I replied quickly, trying to change her mood as I saw she was getting angry. "This is your room, Celine. Any of the maids could walk in at any moment." She smirked, brushing her hair backward with the back of her hand before placing her ha

    Sonia The soft creak of the door jolted me out of my sleep. My eyes felt heavy as I forced them open, adjusting to the dim hospital room. For a moment, I panicked but then I felt the warmth beside me and turned to see Jay, sleeping peacefully. A small smile tugged at my lips. I have been singing to him, hoping it would comfort him but I didn't realize when sleep took over. “Good evening, Ms. Sonia.” The gentle voice made me turn and I saw a nurse walk in, the same one who was with the doctor earlier. She had a kind smile on her face as she approached me. “How are you feeling Ms Sonia?” she asked. I rubbed my temple lightly and smiled. “I feel better but I still have a slight headache.” She nodded. “That’s normal for now. I’m here to give you an injection and some medicine but you will need to take them after eating.” I watched as she prepared the syringe and I sighed softly. “Alright.” The sharp sting of the injection made me wince but I remained still. After she ga

    Sonia "Mommy!" Jay’s voice rang through the room as he ran toward me. I blinked in shock as I couldn't believe, "Jay!" I gasped, my heart nearly bursting with emotion as he opened the door and ran towards me. I pulled him into my arms, holding him so tight as if I was afraid he would disappear again. Tears blurred my vision as I felt the warmth of my little boy against me. He is real, He is here. I pulled back slightly, my hands shaking as I checked his body. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Tell me, Jay, are you alright?" Jay nodded with a small smile. "I’m okay, Mommy." But my heart ached in pain as I looked at him, fresh tears welled in my eyes. He was so thin. His once chubby cheeks had sunken in and there were bruises on his arms. My heart clenched painfully. How could Daniel do this to a child? Did he have no conscience? A sob escaped my lips as I cupped Jay’s face, gently rubbing my thumb across his bruised skin. "I’m so sorry," I choked out. "I should have

    SoniaMy body trembled as I held Ethan’s cold hand, my fingers tightening around his as if I could keep him from slipping away. Tears streamed down my face but I couldn’t stop them. "Drive faster, please!" I urged, my voice breaking. The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror and gave a quick nod. “Yes, ma’am.” The car sped down the road, the city lights blurring past us. My heart pounded with every second that passed. Ethan is barely holding on, his breathing weak. The sight of the blood that soaked the seat made my stomach churn with fear. As soon as we drove into the hospital building, the driver quickly parked the car and Ethan’s men wasted no time. They opened the doors and ran inside. Moments later, they returned with four nurses pushing a stretcher. The car door swung open and they carefully lifted Ethan out, placing him onto the stretcher. I jumped out right after, grabbing his hand as they wheeled him inside. His fingers were ice-cold. “Ethan, stay wit

    Sonia I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw Ethan. Like, Ethan is here to save me? It felt like a dream. My heart pounded as relief flooded through me. I have lost all hope of escaping Daniel but Ethan is able to find me. How did he even find this place? Well, that is a question for another day. But then, my relief turned into fear when I saw his right arm wrapped in a bloody soaked cloth. He was hurt. I wanted to ask what happened but there was no time. I have to get away from Daniel first before he does something worse. One of Ethan’s men grabbed my arm, pulling me away. I was ready to run, to leave this nightmare behind but then, I heard a sharp groan of pain. I spun around and my whole body shivered in fear when I saw Ethan as Daniel stabbed him. I froze, my breath hitching as blood poured from his side, soaking his shirt. “No!” I screamed, trying to break free. I fought against the guard who was holding me but he tightened his grip. “It’s dangerous! We have to go!”

    DanielPanic swept through the room as the sound of gunfire echoed. My heart raced as I reached for my gun, my eyes scanning the chaos. One of my men ran outside to check and quickly returned, his face white with fear. “What’s going on?” I asked, my voice calm as I tried to keep my frustration in check. “We’re under attack,” he said, almost breathless. Damn it! I knew it. This has to be Ethan's doing. I pulled my gun out, my mind racing. Marcus told me the security is tight so how did they get through? How did they get through my tight securities? I couldn’t waste time thinking about that now. I have to move fast. Gunshots rang out again, and panic spread like wildfire. People screamed, running in different directions, desperate to escape. The sound of bullets echoed through the air. I turned to Sonia, who was frantically searching for an escape before she could make a move. I grabbed her wrist. She struggled, trying to break free, but I held her tight. I grabbed he

    Chapter 116 EthanThe man smirked. “Did you really think you could walk in here and go scot-free?” I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay calm. The rage inside me burned like wildfire but I can't afford to lose control. “I regret not killing you when I had the chance,” I said through gritted teeth. The man chuckled. “That’s why a man should never be too trusting.” His eyes darkened. “Now, hand over the boy or I’ll shoot.” My fingers secretly twitched over the gun in my back pocket. I could take him down in an instant but Jay is too close. If I made one wrong move, he could get hurt. I started to lower Jay to the ground. “No, Daddy!” Jay whimpered, clinging to me tightly. His small hands trembled as he gripped my shirt. His wide, terrified eyes pleaded with me. I cupped his face gently. “Jay, do you trust me?” Tears welled in his eyes but he nodded slightly. “Yes.” “Then do as I say.” Reluctantly, Jay loosened his grip. The man grinned. “That’s more like it.”

    EthanI stormed Daniel’s mansion with my men, my body burning with rage. The moment his guards spotted us, they opened fire. "Fools," I muttered, my eyes contorted with rage. I didn’t hesitate as I pulled out my gun, aimed and fired, taking down the bastards who dared to stand in my way. They were nothing but obstacles... mere distractions. My goal is clear and that is to get hold of Daniel. I wanted to be the one to kill him, to put a bullet in his skull and watch as the light fades from his eyes but no, I have something more important to do and that has to do with finding Jay first. I clenched my jaw, my grip on my gun tightening. I turned to Dave, my most trusted man. “Take two of your men and get Sonia.” My voice was cold, unwavering. Dave gave me a curt nod. “And if you see Daniel,” I added, my voice dripping with venom, “kill him.” "Yes, boss." Dave didn’t need to be told twice. He understood. Daniel didn’t deserve to breathe, not after what he did to Sonia... Not

    Daniel The sharp beeping of my alarm clock jolted me out of sleep. I groaned, blindly reaching out to silence it with a slap. The noise stopped but the lingering annoyance didn’t fade. Blinking, I forced my eyes open and glanced at the time, 6 AM. A slow smirk curled on my lips. "Today is the day."Without wasting time, I swung my legs off the bed and headed straight to the bathroom. The cold water jolted me fully awake and a rush of excitement coursed through me. I still can't believe that In just a few hours, Sonia would be mine and mine alone.As I stepped out of the bathroom, steam rolling off my skin, I spotted Marcus walking in. He carried an expensive suit in his hands, already dressed in his expensive attire. "Good morning, boss," he greeted me with a respectful bow before placing the suit on my bed. I nodded in acknowledgment, moving toward the mirror as I started getting dressed. "How are Jay and Alex?" I asked, fastening the buttons on my shirt. "Jay’s been

    Daniel As we approached my mansion, the security checkpoint unexpectedly signaled my car to stop. My jaw tightened. They had never stopped me before. Everyone here knew who I was, so why now? Didn’t they recognize my car? A police officer knocked on the window. I let out a frustrated sigh, rubbing my temple before lowering the window. “Good evening, sir,” the officer greeted respectfully. I frowned, giving him a brief nod. This man is new... I have never seen him around before. “What is the meaning of this?” I asked, my voice cold. “Why are you stopping me?” “My apologies, sir,” he said, keeping his tone formal. “I’m just doing my job.” My blood boiled at his words but I forced myself to stay calm. I smiled coldly. “Alright. How can I help you?” “We just need to check your car’s particulars… and the trunk,” he replied. My heart pounded. The trunk.They can't check the trunk. If they did, they would find Alex's unconscious body that was stuffed inside. A
