"Hmm," Gloria frowned not saying a word, "I have received the award now, I think you and I have better things to do" Ethan whispered to me and I giggled while staring at Gloria's eyes, she was fuming. "We are leaving," Ethan said to the table, "I hope to meet you again soon," I said to Meghan who just had a polite smile on her face. Ethan held me tightly as we made our way out of the venue and into the limo. "I should have listened to you" I said to Ethan as soon as we got into the car "Uhum" he sounded absent-minded. His focus was on how to get me out of my dress. "Did you see how she tried to bully everyone at the table?" I asked Ethan, who was still absent-minded, placing gentle kisses on my neck, while slowly zipping my dress down. "What are you doing" I giggled enjoying the butterfly feeling his kisses left. "We can't do this here" I whispered to him as soon as he pulled my zip down. "Why not?" His eyes darkened with lust and he pulled my dress down to reveal my body, I wa
"Are you mad boy!" Ethan said standing between Jake and me, I adjusted my stance ready for anything and I watched Jake suddenly retreat. "What is she doing here Dad" he huffed, as Ethan stood beside me, wrapping his hands around me, "Emily and I are in a relationship," Ethan said with a smirk on his face. Jake squeezed his face almost disfiguring it as he glared at me, "You really have no shame do you?" he spat. "Is this why you came?" Ethan interrupted, honestly even if he didn't, I had no plans of answering that stupid question. Jake shook his head still glaring at me."Well then, why don't you spit out why you are here and stop interrupting us,"Ethan's voice held an air of authority but also a soft compassionate tune, like an extremely strict father who also loved his son. "It's Alfred, your old assistant, he has been talking," Jake said finally peeling his eyes away from me and giving his attention to his father. "Talking?" Ethan asked with a raised eyebrow. "Talking to wh
I was just inches away from getting crushed when a handsome stranger saved me, pulling me close to him and holding me in his arms"Are you insane" I heard the driver of the truck yell."Shut up and learn to drive" the handsome stranger fought back, I was too stunned to move as the Man's grip on my back lingered. "Are you okay?" Jennifer asked, moving towards me, I didn't even notice when she ran out of the street."I...fine..." I stuttered. My heart pounding like it was about to leave my chest. "Are you sure?" the man asked and I nodded, moving away from his grip, my heart still racing. "I....am...fine," I said carefully. "Please be careful next time, the world can't afford to lose a damsel," he said the most cheesy line I had ever heard and Jennifer chuckled. "Thank you," she said on my behalf gushing over the tall dark-haired man, standing inches away from me. "Thank you" I stuttered, still panicking."We were just about to have brunch at the cafe, would you like to join us" J
I woke up to find myself in a strange bed in a red room, a strange man lying beside me. "What is..." I tried to understand what was going on when I noticed someone standing over me with folded arms, I cleared my eyes as my sight was still blurry trying to make out the figure when it rang in my head. "Ethan" I called out quickly sitting up, to realize I was naked, with no blanket to cover and no clothes in sight just naked beside Ian while Ethan stood by the bed staring at me with furrowed brows and disappointed eyes. "What going on" I asked and Ethan just frowned. "I should ask you the same thing" Ethan's voice vibrated. "I tracked your phone here, to find you in bed sleeping with another man" Ethan's voice deepened but his pitch wasn't high. "I don't understand" I said as the last memory of myself in the bar flooded in. "He drugged me" I yelled turning to Ian and pushing him to wake up but he was high and passed out.I looked back at Ethan whose eyes held no emotion, feeling
"Bring him to me, I will find out who is responsible myself" Ethan gave instructions to the person on the other end of the call while I lay on the passenger seat staring at him, I still felt confused and sick watching everything play out before me. "Your friend Jennifer?" Ethan said leaning toward me."Do you think she has any motive to do such a thing to you?" Ethan asked and I shook my head, Jennifer would never, she was my best friend. "No, she would never" I assured and Ethan just shook his head. "She lied" Ethan informed me. "she lied about being with you on that day," Ethan said and my eyes narrowed."There are Cameras showing both of you together, with that guy too" Ethan explained and my heart skipped a beat. Why would Jennifer lie?"She would never harm me" I stuttered not sure anymore, then the memory of what the guy said flooded back. "It's Gloria" I announced, "Gloria did it" I was certain, I knew there was no way Gloria would let me be with Ethan, she probably wanted
"It's nothing," he said flashing a fake smile at me, I raised an eyebrow hoping to let him know I wasn't buying his lies. "Tell me." I demanded, placing a hand on my waist and glaring at him. "Alfred is using the information I have given him against me?" Ethan finally explained. "When I hired Alfred, I thought he could be trusted and I let him in on some private information, which I never should have, now he is using this information against me" Ethan explained, he sounded so vulnerable and disappointed. My poor baby, "What kind of information are these?" I wondered softening my eyes at him and moving closer to hug him. "A few lies, some information about my company, defamatory things," Ethan said, he was still just touching the surface but I was glad he was at least telling me something. "And these lies, is there a way you can prove his lying?" I asked and Ethan shrugged. "It's not just about me, I can discredit what he says but I had an investor, and that investor is crazy,
I burst out laughing, Ethan must be joking, he couldn't be serious.He and I just started having s*x not up to a week ago, there was no way I was pregnant so soon. "I can't be pregnant" I stuttered, doing the maths in my head, It just couldn't be, the little biology I learned in high school coming to me like lightning. "Please tell me you're joking," I pleaded my heart beating so fast, I couldn't be pregnant for Ethan, not with everything going on right now. "I just can't be" I found myself repeating those words. "A baby, I can't bring a baby into this world for you, I am too young and you are too old," I said staring at the floor and shaking my head. "What would that even mean, what would people say, I can't be a single parent, I can't be with you forever" The overthinker in me took over. I found myself blabbing, words I wouldn't normally say to Ethan, things I worried about when I thought about a future with Ethan. It took me a second to calm down, and when I did I realized h
9 weeks later, (Two months one week)Ethan held my hand as the doctor scanned my stomach, my heart racing as I felt anxious.Ethan had managed to make me fall in love with being pregnant, the idea of having a little human grow in my stomach overtook all my feelings of being too young and the obstacles of being with Ethan. "Congratulations, your baby is healthy," The Doctor said, moving the scanning machine around my stomach."Would you like to hear its heartbeat," the doctor asked and I nodded. "Of course" Ethan replied and I smiled.I had no regrets about having a baby with Ethan anymore, within these past few days he had shown me how much he loved me and that he was ready to be there for me. "Lup-dub-dub" The sound of my baby's heartbeat made my heart flutter, the little tadpole-looking human floating in my womb, I grinned feeling elated as tears began to fall from my eyes. "My baby!" I whispered before the doctor took the ultrasound machine away from my body and turned it off.
