Emily POVHearing those words from him, my heart shattered into pieces. He had said I was nothing but a surrogate, he didn't love me. Chloe was right, all the love and care he showed me was nothing but a lie. Earlier I thought about the kiss I had, it gave me butterflies in my stomach, I felt giddy with delight, my baby felt very happy too, it kicked happily in response. I was filled with Joy. I thought of going home, I didn't want to stay in the ward anymore. I wanted to go home, and tell Ethan how much I love him and how much I wanted to be with him. I felt my words were not sincere enough, when he confessed his feelings to me, I felt my reply was lame.I sneaked out of the hospital to pay him a surprise visit without anyone's notice. I found my way into the mansion, heading straight to his study, then I found out the worst— I was nothing but a surrogate. I couldn't control my tears, I felt betrayed and cheated. I had to end this, finding out the truth made my heart clench in pain.
Ethan POVSeeing the men leave I decided to go search Emily's room by myself. The only man I can trust for my family's safety was none other than Zadok. The rest were nothing but douchebags, they were all useless. I would have kept the man running the search themselves but I didn't want them to search through her things, Emily is a woman who is in love with tidiness. She could walk right in and get upset.Entering fully into her room, I was reminded of her scent, how nicely she smelled. Her scent was all over the place making me clench my fist in anger. This was a reminder that she was missing. I moved towards her wardrobe to check her stuff, but I didn't find anything amiss. This only meant one thing— she didn't leave willingly. If she had planned all this, she would have taken enough supply with her after all she was pregnant.Could she have been kidnapped? I was beginning to run mad with countless questions. Wherever she is, I hope she's safe."Boss," Zadok said, walking into her
Emily POV The rain was pouring heavily, as I slowly made my way towards a black iron gate, everything that happened back at Ethan's office continued to reverberate in my head. I should have known all along that Ethan wasn't in love with me. I acted like a fool, trusting him blindly. This was the greatest mistake of my life. Tears continued streaming down my eyes. As I staggered towards the entrance of the house at this moment my strength was gone I stood in front of a black door and knocked lightly.I sat on the floor, sobering loudly. The pain I felt in my heart was too much to bear. Not only have I been betrayed by the person I loved the most, but my heart was shattered beyond words could describe. Slowly, the door opened, and I felt someone holding me. " Oh my God Emily, you shouldn't be in the rain, please come inside, I don't want you to catch a cold," Valerie said, she helped me get up off the ground, and led me into her apartment. However, I still couldn't let go of what
Ethan's pov..."Boss, we are here. This is the exact location" Zadok said stopping the car. Looking at the window to observe my surroundings, I had several thoughts running through my mind.It was already night but my vision were still intact. The moon shone brightly illuminating it's light, guiding my steps. It seems to approve my quest of finding Emily. She had nothing with her, I didn't want her to end up in the he street with my child begging for alms. I had seen such cases and I didn't want such to happen to my loved ones. The eager I wanted to find her the less thoughtful I became, it was as if my whole world had stopped.As courtesy demands, Zadok approached the building, knocking constantly on the door but we got no response and I was already out of patient. It felt something had to be going on inside. Zadok had confirmed the address and we were aware that she had as present in the house.It could be that, they couldn't open up because they've been caught or they were trying
Emily's POVI recalled the night I sneaked out of the city, Valerie had gotten the news that Ethan had blocked the exit points of the city to stop me from leaving. You would have to be checked thoroughly before you can be allowed to leave.I felt heartbroken hearing this, this was the only chance I had to leave and he was cruel enough to stop me? "I Know of someone who can create a fake identity for you. What change of name would you like" Valerie asked" Jane Swan, Occupation; Obstetrician" I replied."Dr. Jane, that's Savage," Valerie said, looking at me with a broad smile.I chuckled. " I meant it when I said I wanted to leave," I said, smiling warmly. Now I had accepted his betrayal, I wasn't going to cry about it anymore. What was important to me was my child. I wasn't going to jeopardize his health for his father's crimes."You would have to change your looks, with the right make-up and a little hair cut, you would become a totally new person." Valerie said with a mischievous sm
Emily's pov Life has treated me fairly, I am blessed with something precious. Despite, the morning sickness and nausea that came with being pregnant, every other thing fekt prefect. I was grateful to be a mother, living well.There was a lot if changes in my body system, there were stretch marks almost everywhere, I was gaining weight I didn't feel sad about it, instead I fekt very great.I took two part-time jobs and all this was thank to my baby. I had to save a lot of money for my delivery, I was already shopping for my child. I felt great doing all this. Finally I was living a happy and peaceful life."Emily, someone is at the door, go and answer it" Sidney said while she arranged the table for lunch. It was Saturday, Andrew doesn't allow me to work on weekends. Though, I was still considering his proposal but I didn't want to burden him with a child that wasn't his. What would people say about it? If he didn't care, I cared so much about his own reputation. Walking towards the
Ethan's POV"Speak!" I ordered"Boss, the madam had been spotted in the city of Mexico. We've found her " Zadok said, looking at me with a smile."City of Mexico?" I said, sounding very surprised, "How on earth did she book a flight under our noses?" I said, looking sternly at Zadok. I had instructed that every exit points be blocked, how then did Emily leave the city without being noticed? I had thought she was still in this city hiding herself somewhere safe. It was good the search was still on. Being in Mexico only meant one thing–someone had got her out of the city. Who could have taken Emily out of the city? She had no other family members, who could she have gone to visit in Mexico? "Does she have somebody any relatives in Mexico?" I muttered to myself."Boss, she doesn't necessarily need to go there by plane, there are many ways to get to Mexico, " Zadok replied interrupting my thoughts.Hearing this I had mixed feelings, the other ways I knew of had to be very stressful. Was a
Emily's POV I was just on my way to my workplace when I felt my baby give me a hard kick. It felt so painful but I felt happy. I was already in my full term. The hospital says my EDD (Early Delivery Date ) would be in a week's time.Even though I was told labor was painful, I sincerely couldn't wait to have my child in my arms. "Darling, mummy can't wait to see you," I said, rubbing my baby bump happily. "Here she comes, the employee of the year " Andrew said with a broad smile. He was teasing me as always. He opened the door widely so I could get in. Getting Into the Cafeteria I was filled with Joy. The show of love and support was massive, I covered my mouth with my palms to stop myself from screaming.Andrew, my boss and the other staff held a beautiful well designed baby card for me. I was overwhelmed with Joy, it was so lovely. "So can we have a gender reveal?" They said looking at me with smiles.I chuckled. "I didn't bother checking, that's because I don't need to. I would
Emily's POVI was shocked to find out the culprit who was behind my children's kidnapping. The most shocking news to me was their death. I felt so sad, I couldn't believe my ears. Chloe Lee and Ethan's mother were dead. My heart felt so sorry for them, Ethan told me all there is to know about his underground business, the love I had for him was far greater than all that. My kids and I paid a visit to the hospital, taking care of Valerie. Luckily she was becoming responsive to treatment, she was healing faster, I had nothing to worry about. Surprisingly, Zadok would also follow us to the hospital to keep Valerie company. " You don't need to come here everyday, I'm okay," Valerie said with a smile." I just came here to give you the good news, Ethan proposed and I accepted" I said jumping up excitedly."Of course he has too, if he doesn't get married to you, he would be losing out for life" Valerie said proudly. Hearing this I chuckled. " You are really a pain in my ass, I would only
Zadok POVThe gun shots must have been so loud and it must have scared them. Nathan had some bruises on his body, but he was brave and didn't complain. But the culprit wasn't going to stay alive, I was certain that my boss wouldn't spare them. They would be dead. I stretched out my hands towards them, losing the ropes around them. Luckily, my men were everywhere. We had the blueprint of the whole place. There was no way for them to escape. Emma was still hiding behind him, clutching his shirt. She was too traumatized to speak or look at me. She had seen things no child should ever see.I reached out to her, hoping to comfort her. But she flinched and turned away, as if I was one of them. She didn't trust me " Emma, I am here to help you." I said.She didn't trust anyone."Emma, uncle is here to help, I came here together with your Dad. Come with me, I am here to save you." I pleaded. "My dad is dead, mama said I shouldn't ever go with strangers " She said, she was already shivering
Chloe POVLooking around I couldn't comprehend what was happening. My men were being shot, they were dropping dead. " Mistress , we've been surrounded, you should leave, it's no longer safe" one of my guards announced. Hearing this my heart skipped a beat. Emma was crying loudly, this made me more confused. " Shut the fuck up" I shouted. I couldn't help it. I needed some time to think."What! " Penelope screamed out in horror. Her face suddenly turned pale. " We can't just leave, get it over and done with" She said glaring at the guard. "Auntie, we've been surrounded. We need to leave, " I said looking at her. We were already surrounded and all she could think about was killing Nathan? I didn't need to be told trying to lay hands on the kids would be committing suicide, my men earlier has been shot with a sniper."Mistress, you have to leave," My guard said, leading the way towards the back door. My men rushed inside to get some weapons and rushed out again fully armed. The sound of
Ethan's POV I remember telling myself that it could be Chloe behind all this but I wasn't too sure about it. She had bluntly denied the whole thing and Emily had saved her from my grasp.After the conversation between my Dad and I, I quickly rushed home to see what I could do. I had to keep an eye on Emily, someone could try to kure her out of my mansion. I couldn't let that happen. From the looks of things I was sure Chloe Lee and Penelope had something to do with my children's kidnap.If I don't get any useful information about our kids to tell to Emily, she will be so worried and restless, I had to be with her."Zadok," I called out for my right hand man immediately I got home. He must have some information for me, regarding my kids."Zadok, You Haven't given me any update about my children. I had given you the permission to turn the city upside down and get the whereabouts of my kids. What's happening? Have you trailed Chloe? I want you to know what to do next, so tell me, wha
Ethan POVWalking into the hospital, I could see how Valerie was wrapped up in bandage. Seeing me she git up abruptly from the bed "Did you find them?" She asked.I was amazed, she was in such a state but all she was worried about was my kids. Emily walked up to her bed and sat beside her. " There are currently searching the whole city, turning it upside down, trust me. We would find them" Emily said comforting her, I knew how worried she was herself, all my promise to find our kids were falling on deaf ears. But here she was comforting Valerie.Hearing this Valerie heave a sigh of relief. " Ethan has cleared all your medical bills" Emily announced." You are a bastard, but I know you would find my little babies" Valerie said looking at me. Her words cut me off guard, was that a compliment or an insult? "I would be taking her back to my house to get some rest" I said looking at Valerie, she gave me a nod and holding Emily, we left the hospital.Arriving at my mansion, Emily looked ar
Chloe POV"You both are so cute, I wished I was the one that gave birth to such beautiful kids" I said smiling broadly at the two lovely kids. Though they looked scared, I didn't feel sorry for them, if there was anyone they had to blame then it had to be Emily, their mother. " Auntie, please let us go. I promise I wouldn't say a word to anyone" Emma pleaded, she had been crying for a long time now."Stop the tears, just like I said I wouldn't hurt you. I just want to teach your mom a lesson. I had warned her but she just wouldn't listen" I said with a frown. If I had known that she was pregnant with twins, I would have aborted the children by all means." Please auntie, there's still good inside you. Whatever my mom did to you, you can forgive her and move on"'The little girl continued. Her words made me speechless, she was just as innocent as I thought. " Darling, I wish I could, moving on isn't as easy as you think, '' I replied with a smile. " Now let's have a nice meal, I bought
Chloe pov...I held trance my hands on my neck feeling the pain I had felt earlier when he had clenched my neck, like I was nothing to him. "What a bitch!" I said angrily. Emily was there acting like my hero, she was nothing but a low life tramp. I would have killed her when I had the chance, but what did I do? I foolishly let her go.. moving away from Ethan's office, I had a smirk on my face, their peaceful days were over, this is Just a tip of an iceberg, there was more to come. This was just the beginning, when I am done with them, Emily would regret ever meeting me or Ethan.I brought my phone and made a call. "What's the update?""Mistress, everything is just as you had planned it. That fool Zadokehad ran a check on your movement but he hasn't found anything and trust me mistress he wouldn't find a thing. You had really been shopping the whole time" My guard on the other hand said. "Good, I would have to be cautious about my movement. Ethan had nearly killed me but not to worry
Ethan's POVLooking at those beautiful eyes, I was short of words. I knew from the look in her eyes that she believed my words. " I wasn't going to marry Chloe, I was just acting based on what my mom wanted. She had threatened me with her life, It's you I love. If I didn't love you I would have been married to her by now. I love you so much Emily, and I have never loved any woman like the way I love you. I have never felt the same way for any woman. When you left I turned the city upside down, I ran wild and mad with rage..I didn't want you to misunderstand me or hate me" I explained. Emily looked directly into my eyes. I could lie with words but the eyes never lie. I knew she was finding answers inside of them." I thought you wanted to take my kids away from me after birth, when I heard those things my heart shattered into a thousand pieces" Emily said walking over to the couch. She had sadness written all over her face. I knew she had a lot she wanted to say, so I stayed quiet as I
Emily POV "I have to see him, it's a matter of emergency. Move aside" I said looking at the assistant who was blocking my path. " It's about my kids, they've kidnapped my kids" I said at the verge of tears. "I promise you, you won't lose your Job " I said sincerely. Hearing that she moved out of my path, I rushed Into the elevator, heading to the top floor, where Ethan's office was located. This was the same office I had run into many years ago to sign the contract and save my mother's life. This was the same state I was in then. It seems history was repeating itself in an entirely different format.After all the restlessness, I couldn't think straight, neither could I figure out what to do next. I decided to go seek Ethan's help, I needed his help to help me find my kids, I believe he can be of help in some ways just like Valerie said.On getting to his office, I called out his name, raising my voice. I was halfway to his office. I knew he must have heard me. Seems like he was bu
