Till I Met You Chapter 21
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

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

Sitting in that confined space with Ethan made my heart race each second I heard his voice.“ Are you alright Elsie?” Timothy asked, his voice marrying concern.“ I'm fine, you don't have to worry,” I assured him and shot a glare at Isabella’s father. “There was a pervert on the flight who tried to touch me, so I am still flustered by the incident,” I added.Ethan's face drained of color instantly and I could swear that his body stiffened and it suited him. “ Such a fucking bastard.” I referred to him in my mind, he should count himself lucky that I haven't exposed him yet.
