Alex

I 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.

    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

    Sonia's POV I smiled as I baked the cake with excitement. Today is a special day for me. It's my wedding anniversary with my husband, Ethan. But this year was special, there was something even more precious to be celebrated. I'm pregnant and the thought of it makes my stomach swell with joy. After my miscarriage last two years, I hadn't gotten pregnant since then. I was shocked when the doctor handed me the result and told me that I was pregnant. I couldn't contain my joy as I screamed with excitement. I'm planning to surprise Ethan with my pregnancy result tonight even though Things haven't been going well between us for a while now but I can't wait to see his reaction, to watch his face light up when I told him the news. I spent the entire day preparing as the kitchen buzzed with the aroma of his favorite dishes. The table was set, Everything was perfect and My hands trembled slightly as I placed the final touches, imagining the surprise and happiness in his eyes when he wal

    Sonia's POV I watched Ethan leave the house, his words echoing in my mind, giving me three days to pack and leave. I wanted to believe that it wasn’t real, that he would come back and we would talk it through. If there were problems between us, I was ready to work them out, to fix whatever was broken. Divorce wasn’t an option for me—not after everything we've been through, not now that I'm carrying his child. I just needed him to come back home, to see me, to see us and to know that I was carrying his child. I sank into the couch that was close to me as I cried like a child with my whole body trembling from emotions and shock."Where do I go wrong? Why can't Ethan love me?" Tears of heartbreak streamed down my cheeks. "Oh, please! Don't act so surprised and heartbroken. Do you think that my handsome and rich brother was going to remain with a lowlife like you? I told you, it's only a matter of time." Tina, Ethan's step-sister said with a sinister smile, rolling her eyes as she str

    Sonia's POV "Sonia was never pregnant." He blurted out, coldly, "The child was the only reason why I accepted to marry her when mother was forcing me. I found out later that she lied about being pregnant just to have me marry her." His voice was cold, cruel, and filled with bitterness. "I knew it. I knew she was up to no good but It's okay, my love. Everything will be fine now that I'm back." Celine replied. My blood went cold, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I sat frozen on the bed, my hand trembling as I listened. Ethan thought I lied about being pregnant just to have him marry me? How could he think of that? Was that the reason why he started acting cold towards me after my miscarriage? No, I can't believe this. My breath caught in my throat as I remembered that terrible day, the day my whole world collapsed.I had been so happy, so full of hope. The child growing inside me had been the one thing that gave me purpose in this hollow marriage. But all that changed when

    Ethan's POV I thought when I marry Sonia, I would learn to love her and forget about Celine but I was wrong. My heart still beat for her, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise.Celine was my childhood friend and my first love. Even though she was the one who cheated on me, I was ready to forgive and take her back. Sounds crazy right? But that was how much I loved her. I never knew Sonia had always wanted to have me, to take Celine’s position in my life until the day our drinks was drugged, leading to sexual encounter between us. I only asked her to pretend to be my financee pending on when the scandal would dies out. But then, she told me she was pregnant. I was shocked.. confused. I asked her to give me time, to let me process everything because I wasn’t ready for this kind of commitment, especially not with my secretary, someone I didn’t love. I didn’t know how, but somehow, my mother found out about the pregnancy before I could even figure things out for mysel

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.

    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

    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

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
