Curiosity kills the cat, as they always say. That was what happened to Chloe. Ethan's change of attitude the previous week was something she had yet to wrap her head around, and what happened while they were together sparked suspicion.She followed behind him in her car as Ethan drove out of his apartment. Where he was headed she couldn’t tell, but she had to know who was the ‘Fiona’ that called her man, and he left without thinking twice. The person must be important or so. She thought. As much as she didn’t want to lose Ethan’s car, she still needed to drive carefully to avoid drawing his attention. She leaned back in the car and watched as Ethan hurried out of his car and went inside Maple College. She stepped out shortly after and moved closer to the sturdy fence, which has iron railings at the top and concrete blocks at the bottom, so someone outside would see what was going on inside the school. She stood there and watched as Fiona leaned against Ethan’s body. A wave of jealo

It was exactly two weeks since Ethan saw Jackson with a senior lawyer from his law firm. He had initially wanted to ask Mr. Oliver about his involvement with Jackson, but he decided against it, not wanting to be too forward as he was just seeing them for the first time.Jackson didn’t stop picking Rowan from school every weekend, and there was nothing Fiona would do against it because of the joint custody he leveraged on. Jackson had done everything he could to make Rowan warm up to him, as he already knew that the little boy didn't like him or Alaina.He would take Rowan to different places like amusement parks, zoos, and museums. He would buy him toys, candy, and other treats. He would spend hours playing with Rowan, telling him stories and making him laugh, and Rowan was warming up slowly with him. He was a kid and didn’t know the depth of how much Jackson had hurt his mother, but he saw the way he treated her the last time, and that had made him hate his father.Alaina, while init

Fiona stepped out of her sleek BMW; the soft night breeze caught her chestnut hair as it cascaded down her back in gentle waves. Her black jumpsuit hugged her curve effortlessly, and her heels complemented her outfit with a touch of sophistication. A confident smile graced her lips as she glanced around Miller’s exquisite restaurant. A high-end restaurant meant for the upper class. Despite being open to all, the bar's prices were so steep that even the cheapest drink would break the budget of many customers, so only the financially buoyant individuals patronized them. Fiona looked very confident with the way she dressed because Nana picked the best dress for her. Her gardenia scent wafted through the air as she cat-walked into the restaurant, like a princess from a fairy tale. She felt a bit nervous about the date because it would be only them, not like the last time in the mansion. She approached the reception, and as she got to her desk, the receptionist spoke, noticing her prese

It was exactly three days since Ethan told Fiona about how he felt towards her. Ethan couldn't deny his love for her. Fiona, on the other hand, didn’t believe what he had told her because of the text she received from Mia that night. She felt something was wrong because it shouldn’t be a coincidence. That night was the last time she spoke to Ethan. He had called her several times without numbers, but she didn’t pick up. And his messages, she didn’t reply to them. She liked Ethan too, but she didn’t want her emotions to control her. Not again. She wanted to concentrate on her father’s business, and that’s what she had been doing for the past three days with Mia beside her. They had completed the contract with Hudson’s Group and made a lot of profit from it. At least with that, the company was doing well. They needed more investors and everything else that would make the company progress financially. "Inmate, it’s time for lunch,” Mia called out, her voice interrupting Fiona’s focus

I have evidence of Jackson's forgery.Her smile turned into a scowl as she read the text from Ethan. She couldn’t say if she was happy, sad, or maybe both at the same time. It's a mixed feeling. She has everything she ever needed. Everything money can buy would come at ease. Everyone was at her beck and call. Does she really need to get the company back from Jackson? These recent weeks, she had conflicted feelings about Jackson. The way he was getting closer to their son and how Rowan was slowly warming up to him, if not completely. He said positive things about his father, and she was pleased about that. Maybe Jackson was ready to make things right and regretted his mistake? “Ma’am, are you sure you are okay?” Mia murmured with concern as she saw how carried away Fiona looked.Fiona flashed her quick smile. “I’m fine, Mia. It’s Ethan; he has evidence of Jackson’s forgery,” he explained with a small voice. Mia’s face lit up. “That's great news,” she grinned. “Is it?” Fiona mumble
