Ethan

Five years. That’s how long it’s been since I last saw Sonia and it had been a hell for me. Five years of searching and regretting.

I have hired top—tier detectives, sparing no expenses to find her but every lead turned into a dead end. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth.

I tried to convince myself that I didn’t care anymore, that she didn’t matter, but deep down, I knew I was lying. Sonia haunted my thoughts, her face flashing in my mind when I least expected it. And now, here I was, at the airport, waiting for a business flight to attend a conference that would elevate my company but I couldn't think straight as the thought of Sonia filled my head.

My thoughts were interrupted when I noticed a boy standing a few feet away, looking lost. He couldn’t have been older than five or six. His small frame seemed out of place amidst the bustling crowd, yet there was something oddly familiar about him.

His face and pink lips reminded me of someone. Someone I cou

    Sonia The next day, After eating my breakfast with my son, I went into the bathroom to freshen up.I was just stepping out of the bathroom with the soft towel wrapped around my wet hair when I heard Jay's voice calling out."Mom, your phone's been ringing," he said, sitting cross-legged on the bed with his iPad in hand.I sighed, exhaustion weighing on me from the long trip. "Thanks, sweetheart. Did you see who called?"He shook his head, his eyes fixed on the screen of his iPad. Just as I reached for the phone on the bedside table, it buzzed again. Glancing at the screen, I saw Shirley, my assistant’s name flashing.“Hello, Shirley,” I answered, sitting on the edge of the bed as I wondered what urgent matter would have prompted her to call me this early morning. “Good morning, ma’am! I hope I’m not disturbing you,” Shirley’s voice came through, urgent yet professional. "No, not at all," I replied. "Is anything the problem?" "I just got a call from Mr. Phillip, one of our investor

    Ethan I went straight home as soon as I left the airport with Different unanswered questions running through my head. I had to find out more about Sonia and Jay. I needed to know if Jay was my son even though Deep down, I felt a connection to him. His eyes, his confidence—it was like... staring at a younger version of myself. But I needed proof. I couldn’t rely on feelings alone.“You’re back already?” Celine’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts as I stepped into the living room. She looked up from the couch, gazing at me curiously. Celine had been staying in my house for a month now, despite my refusal. She insisted that being closer would help us “reconnect,” especially since she noticed I was distant and no longer gave her the attention she craved But it wasn’t my fault. I couldn’t stop thinking about Sonia. “Yes, I canceled my flight,” I replied softly. Her brows furrowed as she stood and walked toward me, "Why would you cancel such an important trip?""There’s somethin

    Chapter 10 Ethan She laughed bitterly before gazing at me with her eyes contorted with rage, making my heart skip in fear. “The Sonia you knew no longer exists, Ethan. Don’t stop me again.” Her voice is cold and devoid of any emotion. And with that, she pulled her hand from my grip and walked away, her heels clicking against the polished floor while Jay held her hand tightly and gave me a questionable look. I stood there, frozen, my heart pounding like a galloping horse as her words echoed in my head. She didn’t care. Or worse, she didn’t remember me. But I'm not ready to give up. I grabbed my phone and dialed Dave's number. He picked up on the second ring, “Find out if Sonia is staying at this hotel,” I ordered. “I want confirmation within two hours.” “Yes, sir,” Dave responded quickly. I slipped my phone back into my pocket and walked into the investor's suit. ...... As the meeting began, I forced myself to focus but I couldn't, the thought of Sonia filled my mind. I c

    Ethan "What's wrong, Ethan? You don't look alright." Celine asked, raising her hand to touch my cheeks.I gave her a cold glare and she quickly dropped her hand, gazing at me suspiciously. I felt like spanking her on her head for what she just did. I just hope Sonia would not misunderstand. I inhaled more air to control my anger. "We are in public, you shouldn't be doing this," I said through gritted teeth, trying to control the anger that was boiling inside me. She stared at me, her brows furrowed in confusion. “I shouldn't kiss you in public?” she asked, her voice tinged with irritation."We are engaged for God's sake, Ethan," I ignored her, my gaze darting back to where Sonia had been standing. But to my horror, she was no longer there, she's… gone. My heart raced, fear gripping me. Did she leave because of what she just saw? Did she think…? "Oh, Fuck! Fuck!!" I groaned in frustration, looking around to see if I would see her or Jay. Celine followed my gaze, looking arou

    SoniaI ran as fast as my legs could carry me with my heart pounding in my chest. The sting of Ethan’s kiss still lingered on my lips, and the memory of it made my blood boil with anger. How dare he! How dare he kiss me after everything he did to me? How could I have even allowed him to kiss me with the same lips he used in kissing Celine? "Ahhh!!" I groaned in frustration, wiping my lips with the back of my palm.I stepped into the party hall and immediately searched for Jay with my gaze. I sighed softly when I saw him. He was seated exactly where I left him, his small fingers scrolling through his iPad. I quickly made my way towards him. “Jay, we need to go right now,” I said quickly, grabbing his hand without waiting for a response. He looked up, his innocent eyes questioning but he didn’t protest as he slid his iPad into his pocket. “Why, Mommy? Did something happen?” “Nothing happened, sweetheart,” I lied, forcing a smile. “I just feel tired.” Without giving him a c

    Sonia The loud annoying sound of my alarm jolted me out of my sleep. I groaned as I angrily turned it off. I hate it when the sound has to wake me up in the morning like this, especially when I don't have enough night's sleep. Sometimes, I just feel like destroying it but I can't. It's part of the things that made me who I am today. I yawned, taking my time to stretch my limbs before glancing at the alarm clock. It was exactly 6:30 AM.I quickly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up after waking Jay. I don't want to be late since this is my first time going to the company and I need to make a first impression. The hotel room service brought our breakfast as soon as we finished taking our bath. By the time we finished eating our breakfast and dressing up, it was already 7:30 AM. I stood in front of the dressing mirror, adjusting my blazer. The tailored suit hugged my frame perfectly, giving me a sense of confidence I hadn’t felt in a long time.Today mark

    Ethan “Sonia!” I called out, my heart pounding in my chest as I ran after her, trying to get her attention. But she didn’t stop. She seemed to be keen on ignoring me even when I saw Jay tapping her to look back. I hurried my footstep, not minding the shock on my employer's faces as all I wanted at the moment was to get Sonia to listen to me but before I could get to her, she had already stepped into the elevator with Jay. "Sonia! Sonia!!" I called out when I saw the elevator door closing behind her. “Damn it!” I cursed, hitting the wall in frustration, my heart thumping in my chest. "No! No!! No!!! I can't let her go, she needs to listen to me." I mumbled, trying to calm my racing heart as I rushed to my private elevator.As soon as I stepped into my private elevator, I quickly pressed the lobby button, my heart beating rapidly as I watched the numbers on the elevator screen descend. Each second felt like hours as I waited for the next one. After what felt like an eternity, the

    Sonia "Please, drive faster." I urged the driver as I sat in the car with my heart racing in my chest. I can't wait to leave this country. Ethan must not find me. I looked at Jay who was sitting quietly beside me, watching me closely like a guard. He didn't ask any questions but I could see the confusion in his eyes. I smiled and pulled him into a hug, kissing his forehead. I sighed and stared out the window, watching the city blur past. I couldn’t wait to get to Europe. I needed to get far away from Ethan. My heart is heavy with worries as I think about yesterday. I still couldn't believe that Ethan was the president of King's corporation, the person I was supposed to be working with. The excitement of getting the contract from King's Corporation does not allow me to investigate them, to know their president. I have a strong feeling that all this was his plan but it won't work. I won't allow him to get close to me or my son. When I saw Ethan yesterday, the memories of the way

    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 "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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
