Till I Met You Chapter 20
ELSIE’S POV“Do you mean what you said to me, last night?” I replied to Ethan’s question with another.Yes, I know he likes me, I mean his actions say it all but love? To like someone is one thing and to love is another. I just wanted to be careful so we don’t ruin the beautiful relationship we have built.“With everything that has life in me,” he replied and I could feel the butterflies in my belly tickle out of excitement.My heart racing faster than usual and the strong urge and desire to kiss his cute lips was evident in my eyes. As I stared directly into his eyes, I could see the same in his eyes.Within a twinkle of an eye, I could feel his soft lips on mine and his tongue caressing mine. His soft palms ran through my sexy and exposed thighs. I wanted one thing now, to experience more of this day with this man.“there’s something you need to know. Ethan” I said, suddenly breaking free from his grip and pausing our magical kiss.However, I thought this was the best time to tell h

ETHAN’S POVGoing to bed and waking up next to Elsie has always been something I envisioned since the first day I set my eyes on her. As I watched her sleep so peacefully I could not help but fall deeply in love with her. Truly, she looked like an angel.Images of last night flashed through my mind and I could not help but remember my first night with Irene. It was almost the same thing, the same feeling. “come off it Ethan, you shouldn’t be thinking about her. You have Elsie and that is all that matters” I thought and said to myself before calling the kitchen through the intercom, I wanted breakfast to be ready before Elsie woke up.“how long will it take before the food gets here?” I asked the lady on the intercom.“Since you placed multiple orders, it will take twenty minutes sir,” she responded politely and cut the call.“Who was that?” I heard Elsie’s sweet and angelic voice.“the restaurant. I ordered breakfast for us.” I replied softly and planted a kiss on her forehead. She wa

ELSIE’S POV“Mr. Please can you drive a little bit faster?” I said to the driver that was driving Ethan and I back home from our little getaway.My heart was racing fast, faster than the vehicle. Lily did not spare me the complete details about what happened, she only asked that I return home as soon as possible.“Can you at least tell me what's going on?” Ethan asked for the fourth time since we left the resort and again I kept mute and only stared back at him with fear in my eyes.Seeing that I was in no mood to say anything to him, he moved closer to me and soothed my hands using his. I know all he wanted to do was calm me down, I appreciate his efforts but no matter how hard I tried to calm myself, I just couldn’t.I hopped out of the car immediately it pulled up in front of the building. And as I hurriedly ran inside the house, I almost fell to the ground.“Where is she, Lily?” I asked Lily immediately and I approached her.“she was rushed to the hospital, and your dad is with h

ELSIE’S POV“Elsie!!! Don't tell me you are still sleeping by this time of the day?” Emilia, my stepmother, barked as she kept banging on my door.I groaned and tried to lift myself from the bed, my baby bump making it difficult for me to do so. My eyes caught the sight of the alarm timepiece on the bedside drawer close to my princess-sized bed and I cursed myself for oversleeping. Emilia will probably scold me and of course, I'd starve today. “ Elsie open this door at this moment or you will not have anything to eat today!” she yelled and I rolled my eyes. “Just what I thought.” I hurriedly rushed to the door, opening it immediately.“ Good morning Mom,” I greeted as I met Emilia’s dark eyes that were scrutinizing me, fixing her disgusting gaze on my baby bump.“ For the up-tenth time Elsie I am not your mother! Do I look like the mischievous woman who gave birth to you? It is only one who the Heavens want to punish that will give birth to a child like you, so miserable.” Emilia re

ELSIE’S POVYou did amazingly well”, the nurse whispered to me as soon as my eyes opened. Her fingers caress my hair. In that tender moment, I couldn't help but remember my mom. She would have done the same if she were alive.“She's perfect,” I murmured. My heart goes with joy as I gazed at my newborn baby. I marveled at her exquisite beauty, my little treasure, so incredibly beautiful.But my fleeting joy was shattered quickly as Emilia entered my hospital room, her face beaming with wicked smiles, bearing bad news as always.“ Your father found out the trash your mother was and has left.” She declared nonchalantly.“ What do you mean he has left? Why do you love to be a bearer of bad news?” I asked, my voice trembling uncontrollably.Emilia surged, her eyes scanning through the hospital room and casting a dreadful look at the nurse then finally landing her eyes on me. A smile of satisfaction waved through her eyes before she continued with her evil news,“ He left, but not before as

ELSIE’S POVI stared at the man who had just entered the room in awe, he was cradling a baby in his arms and I guessed it was Isabella.I recognized him but my mind could not recall where I had seen him. I guessed he was likely to be the owner of the house. The man was in his late forties, he exuded dominance. His nearly combed black hair and deep eyes were so captivating. A well-defined jaw added to his commanding presence. He was neatly dressed in a black suit that gave him an aristocratic air.He approached my bedside, gently placing my daughter in my awaiting arms. A surge of warmth instantly spread across my face, blossoming into a soft smile as I caressed the tiny hands of Isabella and stared directly into her perfect little eyes. My heart was thumped with a mixture of love and overwhelming anticipation, witnessing my fragile yet serene figure nestled in slumber made me happy.“ My name is Timothy Baker.” the man introduced himself. His voice beamed with kindness.In that mome

Elsie's povMiss, are you okay? You look pale. Or, are you scared of flying?” Ethan asked, his voice filled with care and concern.I was lost for words, his captivating smile was enough to send cold shivers down my spine. I nodded, confirming his words, although flying was something I usually enjoyed doing but, this was totally different, today was not an ordinary day. I feared that this man in front of me would uncover the things I had worked hard to hide for years.This man sitting next to me has haunted me in my dreams for years and is seated next to me, staring at me in a way that makes the butterflies in my belly jingle.I’d feel better if he had stared at me this way on that fateful night.‘ Gosh, come off it Elsie’. I rebuked myself. After all, he is married to Irene.Ethan was even more breathtaking than I had imagined, he looked more handsome and gorgeous than my memory had illustrated him to be especially now that I could see his mesmerizing eyes, the only missing piece I h

ETHAN’S POVIt’s been six years, six solid years since Irene messed my whole life up. I still find it hard to believe how drastically she changed just a few months after our wedding. The marriage which I had pictured as a lifetime filled with love turned out to be the worst days of my life. Irene had changed so drastically after our marriage. I still struggle with the question of why her personality has taken a new turn. Within a blink of an eye, Irene transformed from the sweet woman I had dated into a cold distant person. She became a stranger overnight. But my most cherished moment was our first night together, each time I remembered the events that unfolded that night, it brought back memories, sweet memories. A night I never wanted to end. I wished I never agreed to close my eyes with a blindfold and turn off the light completely as she suggested, I wished I had looked at her in the eyes and saw the expression on her face. I had the time of my life that night, I can’t lie!Wha

Till I Met You Chapter 19
ETHAN’S POVI was surprised when I got a text from Irene, clearly stating that I should forget about the money she asked for. It was a huge relief for me but then, “why the sudden change of mind?” I thought and asked myself. However, it’s a good thing that she had a thorough rethink about it and has finally decided to make good use of her senses.I was busy working on some files when Elsie walked into my office, all smiley as usual. But there was something different about her today, her smile and even the way she looked today. She carried this perfect glow that can make a man turn and want to stare again.And her perfect skin, ‘gosh’ so flawless and delicate. I instantly remembered how I kissed her last night, how I wanted more than a kiss so badly but never got it. Despite the whole trouble with Irene, I wanted Elsie so much, maybe that was the escape I needed from my reality at that moment. I loved how she calmed my demons and drove me crazy in her special way.“heyHave you had la

ELSIE’S POV“You see that stupid happiness you think you have found, you just enjoy it while it lasts. Just wait till he finds out the truth about you.”Emilia’s message read. For a moment, my heart beat so face that I could feel my hands shaky and my mind panicked. But immediately I remembered that two can also play the game, and I felt at ease.I took this as a clue to pay Emilia and her little witch a visit. I think I have given them enough time to enjoy what is rightfully mine, it's high time I take it back.“Since this is how you want it, I guess two can play the game,” I said and smiled. However, I retired to bed, thinking about the long day I have ahead of me tomorrow.I sent Ethan a text, telling him I would be reporting late to the office and his reply made me more confident because I was not ready to tell him I was once related to his ex-wife.Dressed in black palazzo pants and a green off-shoulder top, I carefully wrapped a scarf around my head, wore my dark Chanel sunglass
Till I Met You Chapter 17
ELSIE’S POV As I drove home from work, I was clouded with excitement and could not wait to arrive home and show Ethan the surprise I had in store for him. I could already imagine the look on his face when I showed him the tickets I got for the both of us to his favorite artist's life recording. I mean, it's Davis who wouldn’t be excited.I expected Ethan to be in the living room with Isabella when I got home because they are usually together, either watching a movie or playing games together but today seemed to be different.Isabella was all alone in the living room and she had a sour expression on her face which was very unlike her. However, I walked up to her since she was so lost and did not even recognize me when I walked in, “hey princess, is anything wrong?” I asked as I bent down in front of Isabella.“Mommy, I think I got Daddy upset today. He doesn’t even want to talk or play with me.” Isabella said and her eyes were dull with sadness.I could not possibly think that Ethan
Till I Met You Chapter 16
ETHAN’S POV“What was she doing here, didn’t she relocate to Italy after our divorce? Her mom even insisted that she leave New York for good because of the scandal with one of the top politicians here, she said if Irene stayed back in New York it might cost her a lot, especially now that she was aspiring to venture into politics so what, why is she here?And the child, yes, that boy. That’s the same child I saw her with at the family game day. The boy barely looks six, is he my son, or was Irene having an affair while we were still married?” I clouded my mind with different thoughts while I drove home with Isabella.I remembered the contents of the letter, it read boldly‘SUCH A PRETTY AND SMART LITTLE GIRL YOU HAVE,’I felt insecure and scared because of Isabella and I was afraid to speak to Elsie about it because I didn’t want her to panic. I was totally confused about the whole situation.“Why do you keep staring at the contents of that letter Daddy, is something wrong?” Isabella
Till I Met You Chapter 15
ETHAN’S POVI was surprised when Lily pulled me close and engaged me in a kiss. “What do you think you are doing?” I asked under my breath.“don’t worry, this kiss does not mean anything. Just play along.” Lily replied in a hushed tone and I complied.But if only I knew why she did that, I wouldn’t have complied. The next words I heard pierced through my heart like a spare and I felt bad for ever accepting Lily’s little game. It was Elsie’s voice, her words hit me so bad. Turning to see how disappointed she was, I did not hesitate to run after her and explain myself.Unfortunately for me, Elsie was not caught up in my explanation, at first I thought she was hurt because she caught me kissing Lily but no, that was not her reason for getting furious in the first place.Her only concern was Isabella, she did not want the poor child to get to see such things. I understood her fears totally but I thought she felt something for me and was only jealous because of what she saw, however, I lef
Till I Met You Chapter 14
ELSIE’S POV“Wait, and why is it so?” Lily asked, her face stunned.“Because this is business related, I will not want to return to the office and have my staff discussing things in a low tone since you both can't control yourself even when a little girl is around.Ethan, we will work from home, and please, while we are at it, Lily can you just give us space, please” I replied, trying my best to handle the situation more conveniently.“Well, we know this is not about Isabella Elsie. It's about your stupid self, both of us know you like Ethan but the hurt and guilt you hold on to won't let you open up. Not everyone is Isabella’s father and I think you should…” Lily started and I cut her immediately. She was beginning to go too far.“you know nothing about Isabella’s father so don’t you dare think he is different from Ethan in any way” I retorted.“And you,” I started, turning to face Ethan who just stood there like a celebrity who had two desperate fans fighting over him.“I guess you
