Harper planned to announce the news that she was pregnant on the anniversary. While she was hiding the test report, she found a necklace in Ethan’s study and assumed that it might be the gift Ethan prepared for her. She put it on. Ethan came back later with flowers and a box. His face dropped when he saw Harper wearing the necklace and asked her to take it down immediately. He acted so strangely as he took the necklace from her. For the first time in her life, she doubted her husband's love and she had to find out who the other woman was. Find out what happens when Ethan brings the other woman home, will she walk away or win back her husband's love?
View More**POV: Harper** My heart raced as I held Ethan close to me, feeling the weight of his stress seep into my skin. It was hard to watch him so burdened, especially when he was usually the one with a bright smile lighting up the room. The gentle rise and fall of his chest beneath my fingers was a brief comfort against the storm brewing in my mind. I cuddled him in my arms, playing with his hair as he slept peacefully. He looked so sad and stressed out when he arrived. I would have thought that he had so much to do at work, but his countenance said otherwise. And his warning about my visit to Emma said it all. They were the reason why he was stressed. Emma and her sister were using his guilt against him, making him do things that upset him. I didn’t know what they had done to make him so upset, but I felt so bad that I was the reason why they were angry with him. I should not have investigated his past and unearthed secrets he was trying to keep from me. Though the light in the roo
**POV: Ethan**“Emma, what is wrong? Why are you refusing to speak with me?” I asked her when I finally went in to see her. I drove down here after I left Serena at the restaurant. I was so pissed off at her that I had to leave her presence before I did something stupid.I’m so close to cutting her off and breaking whatever promise I made to her. I'm hanging on a very thin thread as it stands. I kept battling with the idea of abandoning both Emma and Serena, along with the promise I made to both girls after the death of their parents. I pinched the steering wheel in anger, cursing out loud as I recalled the way she had tried to sneak her hands into my shirt, trying to seduce me.I should have known the first time I saw her looking so hot and showing so much cleavage. I should have known that when I saw her looking this sexy, she was up to no good. I don’t wish to break my promise to her; my guilty conscience will kill me if I go back on my word after causing the death of their parents
POV: Serena“Let’s meet up Ethan, its urgent, please meet me at the Millennium restaurant next to our families favorite park.” I texted him, smiling as I thought of the mischief I was cooking up for him.After I left the hospital where I visited my sister, I called Ethan and asked him to meet up. I made it sound urgent, knowing that he might not want to see me after I bullied his wife last night. But he didn’t pick my calls and I know he is still pissed, so I texted him instead.“I’m standing on the bridge before the park. I’ll toss myself over the bridge if you don’t respond to my messages.” I told him, smiling to myself as I knew he would totally fall for this one. Yeah, I learnt that one from my conniving, manipulative sister, Emma. For some weird reason, he doesn’t always give in to her requests or give her whatever she asks for until she pulls this trick on him. She is such a pest!It always work for her, he cares too much to let her carry out her threat, even if we all knew
POV: SerenaI sat on the hospital bed, staring at my sister Emma as she slept. I’d snuck in here to avoid signing the visitors register. I do this when I’m angry so I would have an alibi in case I get pissed and strangle her to death in her sleep. I stood there looking at her, hating the very air that she breaths. The fact that she looks exactly like Harper makes it even worse. Merely looking at her makes me sick in my stomach. In my heart, it felt like I was staring at Harper. Both girls look alike and they both found a way to steal Ethan from me. So, to me, they are both the same and I hate them. I imagined myself grabbing a sharp tool from the doctors surgical tools and stab her repeated in her sleep, stabbing her right in her abdomen and killing that child she is carrying.No one can have Ethan’s child, but me!I have work so hard to have him all to myself, I won’t let anyone take him away from me, not after all my hard work. I was standing over her, glaring daggers at her wh
POV: HarperThe party atmosphere had shifted from raucous laughter and dancing to a tense, suffocating silence, caused only by Serena's cries as Ethan escorted her to the door. Outside, a cool breeze rustled the leaves, a stark contrast to the heated emotions boiling within the house.Her screams about Ethan’s promise attracted the attention of our guests. They started whispering amongst themselves, speculating about the relationship between Ethan and Serena. I could’ve leave just like that, I had to follow up with Ethan, running to catch up with them and stop him from saying or doing anything that might hurt her.“Ethan, please…Don’t hurt her….Stop, Ethan, please!” I called out to him as I blinked back the tears that threatened to pour out of my eyes. Ethan heard my voice and he turned to comfort me, pulling me into a protective embrace while glaring at Serena. “Ethan, please… don’t hurt her…” my voice rang out, trembling but firm, pulling at Ethan’s heartstrings even amidst
POV: HarperI guess she doesn’t know that Ethan has already apologized and explained their history to me. So I am not bothered by her words actually, just that, I have to counteract her accusations because a few people around could hear her and I don’t want it on record that I tried to kill Emma, my husband’s ex-lover. It would ruin my reputation if everyone thought that I was a vindictive lover. If only Ethan was close by to see her talking so rudely to me. He just stepped into his home office for a quick meeting with a business partner. She sure knows when to pick on me, she always waits for him to leave my side before she comes over to antagonize me.“Stop making up stories, Serena. I never hurt your sister and I never intended to. I only went to see her because I was curious about her relationship with Ethan. But now that I know the truth, I won’t bother her anymore.” I responded firmly, surprised by my own voice. I saw the fierceness in her eyes diminished when I told her tha
POV: Harper“Is this true? “ he asked me, his voice breaking.“Are you…Are you…”“I’m pregnant,” I said softly, answering him with a smile on my face Ethan erupted with happiness, he jumped in excitement and yelled at the top of his voice,“I’m going to be a father!” He screamed out in excitement, and then he ran towards me and swept me into his arms, spinning me around happily. He kissed me so passionately, His hand was placed on my stomach as if he could feel his baby as he kissed me. How long have you known about it, why didn’t you tell me?” he asked me after the kiss, sounding a bit offended. “I planned to tell you on our anniversary night. It was meant to be your anniversary gift and I would have told you about it that night if you didn’t walk away in anger and left me all alone. When I told you that you ruined our anniversary dinner, I wasn’t referring to the food I had made for you. This is what I was talking about. I was so excited about it and I wanted to surprise you
POV: HarperI sat on the plush white couch in our bedroom, my heart heavy with guilt as I watched Ethan search frantically through the house for clue Serena might have left behind. She has not contacted him like she promised and he is so worried about her. He has exhausted his contacts in an attempt to find the hotel she had lodged in. But Serena is a professional when it comes to covering her tracks. She sure knows how to keep her location a secret. I still feel guilty for being the reason why she left. It’s my fault and I know it. The echoes of our earlier arguments replayed in my mind, and I felt responsible for her departure. If only we could put our difference aside and live together so Ethan could keep his promise. He had promised to look after Serena, and now that she is gone, he was left to pick up the pieces of a broken promise. If only we could find her so I could speak with her and convince her to come back home. For Ethan’s sake, to ease his guilt, I am prepared to pu
POV: Harper “Fine, Harp. Since you have decided to head back home, I’m so happy for you. But what about the job offer? Are you still interested?” Liam asks me, sounding his usual cheerful self again. I wondered where the other grumpy Liam came from, the one who was just scolding me and acting like a dumb jerk. “I’ll think about it and get back to you, Liam,” I responded, making him chuckle loudly. “Oh, so now you want to think?” He asked in a mocking tone, laughing hard. “Of course, I need to think about it. I’m following your advice, Liam. You did say I should think before making decisions, didn’t you?” I asked him, earning a peal of laughter. Liam helped me get my stuff together, and he offered to stay back and wait for Kate while I headed home to settle back in. He walked me out of the room, and this time, he didn’t give Ethan that hostile vibe he showed him when he first came in. He smiled and shook his hand, introducing himself as my friend. “Let me know if you need m
POV: EvelynThe scent of lilies and cinnamon hung heavy in the air as I went about my duties in the house, smiling to myself. I would have opted for calming fragrances like lavender, vanilla, or rose to enhance my mood, but I chose lilies and cinnamon because they are his favorites. Ethan just loves them, and he wouldn’t want it any other way.It’s a special night, and I intend to make it magical and memorable for Ethan and me. It's our anniversary, and I have the most amazing gift for him tonight. I kept smiling like a fool as I scattered rose petals on the bed, dinner table, and the bathtub. These are all the places I want to be fucked tonight.I smiled at that thought; I can never get enough of him. I can’t stop myself from loving and desiring him every fucking day. I create a petal-lined path leading to the dining area, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. I made all his favorite meals, all for him. For starters, I made a classic dish with prawns in a tangy Marie Rose sauce served o...
