Celine

I 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

    Daniel"Fuck!" I cursed under my breath, flicking the cigarette between my fingers as I strolled toward my car. The smoke curled lazily around me and I exhaled through my nose, laughing coldly. Ethan, that fool, thought he could pull me down? Well, He has no idea who he’s messing with. I’m always ten steps ahead of him. As I reached where I parked my car discreetly in the dense cover of the bush, my men greeted me with a respectful bow."Welcome, boss." They all greeted me and I nodded in response. "Boss, the goods are loaded," one of them said. "Good," I replied, my tone authoritative and cold. I glanced at them. They knew better than to mess things up. If it wasn't for one of my loyal boys who informed me about Ethan’s little plan last night, things might’ve gone differently. As soon as he informed me last night, I immediately diverted the real shipment to another location and sent fake trucks loaded with rice to keep him distracted. “Ethan is just a fool,” I said, smirk

    SoniaI frowned at Daniel as my patience was wearing off. I have told him countless times that I wasn’t ready for a relationship? And still, he was insisting, pushing and asking questions that didn't make sense, questions that made me uncomfortable, that I didn’t even know how to answer. When he asked if I still loved Ethan, I was speechless, I wanted to deny it, to scream that I had moved on but the truth lingered in my heart, heavy and undeniable. No matter how hard I tried to hate Ethan for everything he has done to me, my heart still refused to listen. I... I still loved him. I didn’t answer Daniel. I couldn’t. My silence must have spoken louder than words because he looked at me like he already knew. Thankfully, his phone rang, breaking the awkward tension. “I need to go now but I’ll see you soon,” Daniel said, standing up. I sighed heavily, following him to the door, relief flooding through me as he left but after closing the door behind him, his words echoed in my min

    SoniaI was engulfed with the fear of losing Jay and as I stepped into the elevator with Alex, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably. My heart felt like it was being ripped apart. Alex pulled me closer, his hand gently patting my back. “Calm down, Sonia. I'm sure we will find Jay,” he said softly, trying to reassure me. But his words did little to ease the fear clawing at my chest. When the elevator doors opened, Tara saw me and rushed over. Her eyes widened with concern when she noticed my teary eyes. “Ms. Sonia, what’s wrong?” she asked, her voice trembling. I couldn’t find the words to answer. My throat felt tight and the only thing I could do was cry. Alex stepped in. “The school just called. Her son, Jay, is missing.” “Oh my God!” Tara gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "When? How?" Tara questioned, gazing at me with concern. "We don't know yet and that is why we are going there to find out." I manage to say, my voice barely audible. Alex guided me out

    EthanI was sitting in my study room, going through some documents while Dave, my assistant, confirmed my flight to California as I needed to travel to California for an urgent business trip. “Make sure the flight is for early morning,” I told him, my gaze still fixed on the documents I was working on. “Yes, sir,” Dave said as he dialed the airport manager. I leaned back in my chair, finally allowing myself a moment to think. I have been busy all day, meeting after meeting and I haven’t had the chance to call Sonia or Jay. Guilt weighed on me. Jay must have been waiting for my call. "I will make it up to him when I get back from California." I thought within, stretching my libs. Suddenly, my phone vibrated on the desk. I glanced at it and I smiled when I saw Sonia’s name. Perfect timing. How did she know I was just thinking of her? I picked up the call with a grin. “Sonia,” I said warmly, “I was just thinking about you.” But her voice came through like a thunderclap, angr

    SoniaMy blood boiled with rage as I stared into Céline’s shocked eyes. “How dare you touch my son with your filthy hands?!” I snapped, my voice trembling with rage. Quickly, I pulled Jay into my arms, shielding him from her touch. Céline continued staring at me, her face frozen in shock as if she had just seen a ghost. Finally, she blinked, coming back to her senses. “Is… is this your son?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief. “Yes, he is my son and don’t you dare lay a finger on him again,” I said, glaring at her. The memories of Ethan with Céline flooded my mind, tightening the knot of anger in my chest. She was the reason Ethan and I separated, the reason my life crumbled years ago an now, she's here again, standing before me, daring to touch my child. The mere sight of her made my hatred for her grow stronger. Céline let out a mocking chuckle, snapping me out of my thoughts. “So, you’re the mother of this little brat?” she scoffed, looking down at Jay with d

    SoniaI sighed, feeling a little guilty as Jay stomped his feet on the floor while heading upstairs. His small shoulders were slumped in disappointment and I knew he wasn’t happy about being sent away. I turned to Ethan and gave him an apologetic look. “Uh… I’m sorry about that.” Ethan’s gaze lingered on Jay for a moment before he looked at me with a small smile. I could see he wasn't happy about it either. “It’s nothing. I know it must be something very important.” I swallowed hard, suddenly feeling nervous. He is not wrong. What I wanted to discuss with him is important, it's something that has been on my mind for days now. Taking a deep breath, I steadied myself and cleared my throat. “I wanted to talk to you about two things.” Ethan nodded, leaning back in his chair. “Go ahead.” I hesitated for a second before speaking. “It’s about Jay’s school.” Ethan’s expression grew serious. “What about it?” “I’m no longer comfortable with him going there after what happened,”

    EthanThe next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Today is important as I have a crucial meeting at the office that needs my presence. After freshening up and dressing in a crisp black suit, I picked up my briefcase and was about to leave when my thoughts drifted to Tina. I haven't seen her since yesterday after she stormed out of my room. I tried calling her multiple times but she never picked up. Something was wrong and I needed to find out what. Instead of heading straight to the dining room, I turned toward her room and knocked on the door. “Who is it?” her voice came from inside, cold and distant. “It’s me,” I said. There was a brief silence before she let out a sharp hiss. “Go away.” I sighed, resting my forehead against the door. “Tina, please open the door. Let’s talk.” “No,” she snapped. “I don’t want to see you.” "What is going on Tina? Talk to me?" "I don't want to see you!" Her words stung but I refused to push further. Letting out a frustrated br

    Sonia I clenched my fists, trying to steady my breathing. I have made up my mind that Caro has to leave but then Jay’s small hands tugged at mine, his big, tear-filled eyes looking up at me with desperation. “Please, Mommy… Don’t send Aunty Caro away. Please forgive her.” I looked at Jay shocked, I never knew he was crying. My heart twisted. Jay is now used to her. I swallowed hard, my anger clashing with the pain in my son’s voice. I turned to Caro, who was still on her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. I wanted to scream at her, to remind her how badly she had failed me but looking at Jay, I felt my resolve waver. With a deep sigh, I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly. “Fine.”Caro gasped, lifting her head in shock. “Ma’am?”I glared at her. “You can stay.”Her lips trembled, her hands gripping the hem of her dress as if she couldn’t believe what I had just said. “But listen carefully,” I continued, my voice cold. “This mistake must never happen again. You will report every

    SoniaAs I drove into the compound, my hands were still shaking on the steering wheel. My heart pounded against my ribs and my mind raced with fear. Was that really Daniel? Could he still be alive?I parked the car hastily and got out, glancing around as though expecting to see someone lurking in the shadows. My only concern right now is Jay. I need to make sure my son is safe.I rushed to the front door and knocked. Within seconds, Caro opened the door with a bright smile. "Welcome back, ma'am..."I ignored her greetings. "Where’s Jay?" My voice slightly trembled but filled with urgency as I stepped inside. Caro blinked in surprise but quickly recovered. "He’s eating.""Mommy!" Jay’s voice rang from the dining room, and before I could turn, he ran straight into my arms. A deep sigh of relief escaped my lips as I hugged him tightly. His little arms wrapped around my waist, grounding me in a way nothing else could. I pulled back slightly, cupping his face. "Are you okay?" H

    SoniaI looked up and to my surprise, Alex walked in, a charming smile on his handsome face and a bouquet of fresh lilies in his hand. I blinked in astonishment. "How did he know I was in the office today?" "Good morning, beauty," Alex teased as he strode toward me with a smile. I shook my head with a small laugh. "Good morning, Alex."Tara, who stood beside me, quickly bowed in greeting. "Good morning, sir." Alex acknowledged her with a slight nod before turning his full attention back to me. "I’m really happy to see you back at work," he said warmly. "The whole office has missed you so much." Then, he extended the bouquet toward me. "I got these for you. Thought they might brighten your day." A smile tugged at my lips as I took the flowers from him. He always knows how to put a smile on my face.I lifted the bouquet closer and inhaled deeply. The soft, sweet scent of lavender, my favorite, filled my senses. My heart warmed at the kind gesture. I glanced up at Alex, curio

    SoniaThe warm sunlight that shone through the window pulled me up from sleep. I yawned, stretching my limbs before slowly sitting up. I glanced at the clock, it was 8 AM. I didn't mean to sleep this long but after everything that has happened, being back home felt like a relief. I just realized that no matter what, there is no place like home. Suddenly, the door burst open and Jay ran inside, his face lighting up with a bright smile. "Good morning, Mommy!" he greeted, wrapping his little arms around me. I hugged him back, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well?" Jay nodded with a smile. "Yes! But, Mommy, I’m late for school!" He grabbed my hand, urgency in his voice. "I haven’t been to school for long and I miss my friends!"My heart ached when I heard him. I knew Jay loved his school so much but after everything that happened, I couldn’t let him go back there again even though the school has reached out to me, apologizing for what happened b

    Sonia I folded the last of Jay’s clothes into his small bag and glanced at him. “Did you pack everything?”Jay grinned. “Yes! But Daddy’s things are still here.”I chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”Finally, we were going home. I was relieved when the doctor told us Ethan would be discharged this evening. It felt like years since I last stepped into our home and I couldn't wait to return. Caro must be sick with worry by now. I sighed. If only I had memorized her number, I would have called her sooner. Oh! Did I mention that Ethan bought me a phone? Yes, he surprised me with the latest model and not just that, somehow, he managed to retrieve my old line, the one Daniel had destroyed. I still don’t know how he did it, but it left me speechless. These past few days with Ethan had shown me a side of him I never thought existed. A soft, caring, thoughtful side. I couldn’t deny that I enjoyed it and Jay, he was the happiest I had ever seen him. His laughter had filled

    EthanIt has been a week since I was admitted to the hospital and to be honest, I loved every second of it as It brought me closer to Sonia and Jay. These past few days have been the happiest days of my life. I got to see Sonia’s soft side again, the way she cared for me, the gentle touch of her hands, the warmth in her eyes when she thought I wasn’t looking and it made me realize how I have been a fool to let her go. I glanced beside me and saw them sleeping peacefully. Jay was curled up between us, his tiny fingers still gripping my shirt even in his sleep. Sonia lay beside him, her face turned slightly toward me. Even in sleep, she still looks beautiful. Her long hair spread across the pillow, her lips slightly parted, her breathing slow and steady and the soft glow of the early morning light made her features look even more delicate. I felt my chest tighten. God, I love her so much. Jay mumbled something in his sleep, shifting closer to Sonia. I smiled, brushing his hair
