Till I Met You Chapter 8
ELSIE’S POV“Is he going to be alright Dr. Nox?” I asked immediately I saw the doctor walk out of the examination room.Dr.Nox sighed and replied calmly,“Claustrophobia, he is claustrophobic and hence developed a panic attack due to the stress that usually comes with the feeling of being in a confined space.” He explained further.Somehow I felt relieved. Not like I care about him but everything happened so fast it’s a good thing that he is fine now. “ Can I see him now?” I asked,“Sure, I will just have the nurse move him to the ward. He will be discharged later in the day but now he needs to rest.” The doctor said and left for his office.It did not take a few minutes before the nurse had him moved into the main ward and I went to check up on him. As expected, he was lying down with a sour expression on his face like a baby looking out for his mom.“Hey, how are you feeling?” I asked while making myself comfortable on the seat provided beside the bed.I don’t know why his face li
Till I Met You Chapter 9
ELSIE’S POV Ethan’s question hit me so hard and for the first few minutes I could not find my tongue. His words caught me unaware and even though I wanted to smack him so hard on his face, I just had to put myself in order. “My life, and that of my daughter is none of your business. Respect that!” I warned, not taking my eyes off him, and of course, I didn’t need anyone to tell me that my reaction got him startled. I waited for the next few seconds for Ethan to say something since he felt he had all it takes to meddle in my business but he just stood there, staring at me like he had seen some ghost or something. “I guess you can’t find your tongue huh?” I asked and turned to head inside when Ethan spoke up, stopping me in my tracks again, “I’m sorry, I never meant to bring back memories, bad memories I guess,” Ethan said, I guess it's his way of apologizing. I don’t know how to react to his so-called apology. I was lost between accepting it or putting him in his place since it h

ELSIE’S POV“But what?” I asked Ethan, I was already irritated by his presence and I could not wait to get away from his presence.Without sparing me a glance, Ethan turned to Isabella and said,“I will attend your family game day at your school on Friday if only your mom agrees to walk with me through the stairs every day at the office.”That has to be the most ridiculous thing I have heard all my life. Me and Ethan, walk through the stairs every day, lol, that’s never going to happen. I thought to myself.“And why do you want me to walk with you through the stairs every day, what then is the essence of the elevator at the office?” I asked Ethan because what he was requesting was close to impossible.“Please Mommy, grant Daddy his request so he can make it to my school family game day. Please, mommy.” Isabella pleaded.“No!!!” was all I said and without considering my dad or Isabella’s presence at the table, I made my way out of the dining room and headed straight to my room.The nex
Till I Met You Chapter 11
ETHAN’S POVMr. Tim, as I usually call my dad’s friend was the first to wake me up today. Honestly, I almost forgot that today was the day scheduled for little Isabella's family game day at her school.“good morning Mr. Tim,” I greeted and sat upright.“I trust you had a good night's rest Ethan,” he asked and I nodded in affirmation.“I had this customized for all three of you, I’m sure it will make Isabella happy.” He added and handed me a nice gift bag, I wondered what it contained thou.I thanked him and he left afterward, giving me time to get ready. I don’t understand why I could not find a suitable pant to go with the nice T-shirt Mr. Tim got me. “gosh…” I muttered in frustration and took off the third blue Demin I had tried on.I stared helplessly at the seven pants I had all scattered on the bed, “why can't I pick simple pants to go with this shirt for crying out loud?” I said to myself in annoyance again. It was then it occurred to me that I was only trying to look my best b

ETHAN’S POV“What's wrong, are you okay?” Lilly, Elsie’s friend asked, looking worried.How do I explain to her that I was drowned by her hotness? “Sorry about that, let's just say you are too hot I was already getting burnt by you,” I said smiling after making a joke out of myself.Lilly giggled and said, “Well I hope I get to burn you even more,”“let's see then,” I replied and kissed the back of her hand, we were both lost in the frenzy of the moment and could not hide the fact that we were somehow attracted to each other.“Let's go, Lilly,” Elsie said, calling our attention back to her. I must say, she felt left out.I allowed the two ladies to walk ahead of me and while the cook informed us that food was ready, I excused myself from joining the whole family for lunch and went upstairs to my room. A lot has transpired today and the right thing for me to do now is to have a cold shower and rest. It will help me calm my head and relax my mind about all that has happened.After havin
Till I Met You Chapter 13
ELSIE’S POV“why are they taking so long to come back, I thought it was just a stroll. So why aren’t they back yet?” I thought and questioned myself at the same time. I felt awkward, left out, and betrayed when Ethan and Lily stepped out of the house together.I did not expect Ethan to give in to Lilly’s request so easily. Hold on, why am I even acting surprised, what do you expect from someone who got married to a first-class whore.I walked out of my room and decided to take a glimpse at the city on the balcony. After a while, I spotted two familiar figures. I could swear that my eyes were deceiving me at the moment.“ Why are their hands intertwined and what’s so funny that they were giggling all about?” I questioned myself again and headed downstairs. Ethan might have had his way with me but there’s no way I will let him take advantage of Lily.I was so ready to kick his ass immediately I got down but little did I know that a bigger surprise awaited me. Ethan was standing so close
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
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

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
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“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
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
