All Chapters of MASKED SECRETS : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

It had only been two weeks since Damian and I returned from our vacation when I started feeling unwell. I woke up every morning with a fever, fatigue, and a constant feeling of tiredness. I couldn't concentrate on my new business, and I was always sleeping. I even started throwing up one evening when my best friend Amelia came over from work. "What's going on, girl?" Amelia asked, looking at me with concern."I don't know, Amelia. I feel so sick," I replied, feeling a wave of nausea wash over me.Amelia frowned and put a hand on my forehead to check my temperature. "You feel pretty warm. You should see a doctor."I nodded in agreement. "I think you're right. I'll make an appointment tomorrow."The next day, I went to the doctor's office and had some tests done. The doctor confirmed my worst fear - I was pregnant.I couldn't believe it. How could this have happened? Damian and I had been so careful. I sat in the doctor's office, feeling numb. The doctor tried to reassure me, but I cou

Ethan's pov As I made my way towards the hospital's parking lot, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Ava's incomprehensible decision to sleep with Damien, her ex-lover who had caused her immense pain in the past. Though we had ended our relationship, my love for her still burned fiercely, and I yearned for the opportunity to mend our fractured bond. The news of her involvement with Damien filled me with a profound sadness, yet an unsettling tinge of jealousy crept in. I patiently awaited Ava's full recovery, knowing that I had to share the heartbreaking truth with her: the doctor had informed me that she had lost the pregnancy due to complications arising from stress. While this news should have evoked sympathy and compassion, an inexplicable surge of excitement pulsed through me, despite its lack of jubilance. I yearned to reclaim my beloved, ready to do whatever it took to win her back, for she was the woman I desperately needed by my side. 46 minutes later; As I made my way t

Ava's povThe revelation that Mrs Elizabeth would never accept me as his partner hung heavy in the air, leaving an oppressive silence in its wake. The weight of her words crushed Ethan's spirit, his usually vibrant eyes now filled with a mix of despair and confusion. It felt as though his entire world had been torn apart in an instant.I reached out, gently grasping his trembling hand, trying to offer some semblance of comfort. "Ethan, we'll get through this," I whispered, my voice laced with determination. "We won't let anyone dictate our happiness."His gaze met mine, searching for solace. "But Ava, she's my mother," he murmured, his voice filled with anguish. "How can I go against her?, It bothers me because she has a lot of influence on our company"With a mixture of compassion and resolve, I replied, "We can't let fear and prejudice rule our lives, Ethan. Love should never be bound by someone else's expectations. We have to follow our hearts, even if it means challenging those we

Ethan's pov I had been planning a surprise vacation for Ava for a long time. I knew that both of us needed a break from the emotional turmoil we had been facing lately. Finally, the day arrived when I could reveal my surprise to her. With a sense of excitement and nervousness, I sat down with Ava and handed her an envelope. She looked at me curiously, wondering what it could possibly contain. With trembling fingers, she opened the envelope, and I watched as her eyes widened with shock and amazement. Inside the envelope were tickets to Hawaii and a brochure for a luxurious resort. She looked up at me with a mixture of disbelief and gratitude, tears welling up in her eyes. Overwhelmed with joy, she hugged me tightly, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. I smiled warmly, feeling grateful that I could bring a smile to her face. "I know we've been through a lot lately, and I thought this would be the perfect way for us to relax and clear our minds," I said, my voice filled with tend

Ethan's povI was sitting in a dark room, my heart pounding in my chest. I had no idea where I was or how I had ended up here. All I knew was that I was trapped, and there was no way out.Suddenly, I heard a sound outside the door. My muscles tensed up, and I braced myself for whatever was about to happen. The door opened, and two burly men walked in, their faces covered with masks. I tried to fight back, but it was no use. They easily overpowered me and snatched my phone from my pocket before leaving the room.I felt helpless and alone. I didn't know who these men were or what they wanted from me, but I knew I needed to get out of here. I tried to think of a way to escape, but my mind was foggy with fear and confusion. Then I remembered I had shared my location with Daniel, my friend.As hours passed, my hope began to fade. I was starting to believe that I would never make it out of this place alive. But then, just when I thought all was lost, I heard a sound from the other side of t
