CHAPTER 41

Ethan sat at his desk, reviewing the latest reports from the design team, his sharp gaze scanning every line. His focus was interrupted when his phone buzzed beside him. He glanced at the screen: Sophia Greenwood,His Fiancée.For a moment, he considered ignoring it. He wasn’t in the mood for another one of Sophia’s dramatic conversations. But when the phone rang a second time, he sighed and picked it up. “Sophia,” he said curtly. “Ethan,” her voice was sharp, demanding. “We need to talk. Now.” “I’m in the middle of work, Sophia. Whatever it is, it’ll have to wait.” “Work?” she scoffed. “Is your work more important than planning our wedding? Or are you avoiding me again?” Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’m not avoiding you. I’m handling critical matters for my company.” “Well, this is critical too,” Sophia snapped. “I’m coming to your office.” “No, Sophia,” Ethan said firmly. “I don’t want this conversation to turn into a scene. Let’s meet at the Azure Lounge in a

CHAPTER 42

Ethan reclined back in his chair and fixed his gaze on his computer while reviewing the quarterly reports. The office was quiet, save for the faint hum of the air conditioning and the occasional typing sounds from Danny outside. He was fully absorbed in what he was doing when the sound of heels clicking on the tile floor shattered his immersion.“Mr. Ethan?” Danny’s voice filtered through the intercom.“Yes?”“There’s someone here to see you.”“Do I have an appointment? Ethan asked, already annoyed at the interruption.“No, but it’s Rachel.”Ethan straightened, and a sudden flicker of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly schooled his features into neutrality. “Send her in.”The door opened, and Rachel stepped inside, her presence immediately filling the room. She was dressed in a fitted green blouse and black trousers, her hair loosely tied back. She carried a confident air, but Ethan noticed the faint tiredness in her eyes.Rachel," he remarked calmly, and his voice did not reve

CHAPTER 43:

The sun was low over the skyline, daubing it with slivers of the setting sun. Rachel had emerged from Ethan's office with a cocktail of feelings, relief that he had spared her pitch, mixed with worry about the hurricane of complications that Sophia 's mere presence might unleash. Nevertheless, because Ethan had compelled her to partake of a meal, she had been somewhat relieved.Walking to her car, parked a few blocks away, Rachel was unable to stop the suspicion that she was the target of surveillance. Her heels made a sound upon the pavement as the streets became calmer. She looked about, scanning shadows for the unusual.“You’re just being paranoid, " she muttered to herself, quickening her pace.It was colder out than she had thought, and a chill ran down her spine as she walked towards her car. But as she approached the driver's side door, a figure emerged from behind it.Excuse me, miss," a voice said in a deep and grating tone.Rachel stopped dead in her tracks, her heart racing

CHAPTER 44

Rachel pulled her car into the driveway, her mind reeling with what happened that day. Her encounter with Michael had left her shaken, and the thought of him interrupting her life again seems certain. She had overcome the fear but seeing him again made the pain in her raw and the memories of that night fresh.Laughter filled her ear, welcoming her out of her mind. The triplets were lying in the living room, on the floor, with colouring books and crayons."Mommy's home! Daniella shouted, leaping to her feet and running toward her.Dante and Damian followed close behind, their little faces lighting up. Rachel knelt, catching them all in her arms. Their comfort reduced a bit their tightness inside of her chest.“How are my babies?” she asked, forcing a smile.“We’re fine, Mommy! Daniella replied, pulling back to look at her. “Guess what?”“What, sweetheart?”“We met a man today! Dante exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement.Rachel froze, her arms still around them. “A man?” she repe

CHAPTER 45:

RachelAs soon as I exited the taxi and entered the office building, I sensed the air of tension. From the lobby, I could also perceive agitated shouting and the sound of a person yelling. My heart sank.What now? I mumbled to myself while I ran for the elevator.As soon as I reached the floor, clamor rose to its peak. A middle-aged woman was seated in the center of the reception room, with several staff trying unsuccessfully to calm her. She was running a piece of fabric in the air as if it were a witness in a courtroom.“You people are thieves! The woman screamed, her voice shrill and furious. Do you think you can come and get away with it? I trusted you, and this is what I got?”“What’s going on here?” I asked, stepping forward. Each and every one of them turned around and gazed at me, relieved and with a look of terror on their face.“Rachel, thank God you’re here,” said Emma, my assistant. “This woman claims we scammed her, but”“I don’t claim anything! the woman interrupted, gla

CHAPTER 46:

Rachel walked into the café, her head held high and her emotions firmly in check. She spotted Michael sitting in the corner, his shoulders tense as he stared out the window. For a moment, she almost turned around and left, but then she reminded herself why she was here. This wasn’t about him; it was about putting the past to rest. As she approached, Michael looked up, his expression softening. He rose to his feet, his movements hesitant. “Rachel,” he said, almost pleadingly. “Michael,” she replied curtly, sliding into the seat across from him. “Let’s get straight to the point. What do you want?” Michael sighed, running a hand through his hair. “We need to talk about the kids. I’ve been patient, Rachel, but I can’t stay away any longer. They’re mine, and I deserve to be part of their lives.” Rachel raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a bitter smile. “Yours? Really, Michael? That’s interesting, considering the last time I checked, you were busy sneaking around with your sec

CHAPTER 47:

The morning began with an unease Rachel couldn’t shake. With a crack of the door she let the fresh air into her flat and her gaze fell on a box standing by the door. It was plain, unmarked, and oddly foreboding.Her brows furrowed as she crouched to retrieve it, tiptoeing it inside. Sitting at her kitchen table, she opened it. As soon as she lifted back the lid, her stomach churned.Inside were photographs, each more unsettling than the last.A picture of her and Ethan during their trip to Italy. One of her triplets playing at the park. Wedding photo with Michael, a memory of a scene which felt now thousands of years distant. Several photographs contained candid images of her, some obviously taken without her consent.As she touched the note between the photos, the notes of her hand trembled. It read:You'll never be able to completely hide who you are," The world will always remember you.Rachel’s heart pounded in her chest. The idea of a person meticulously collecting her life's bel

CHAPTER 48:

The playground was alive with the sounds of laughter and joy. Rachel sat on a bench, her gaze never straying far from her triplets, Dante, Damian, and Daniella, who played with uncontainable energy. For once, her mind was at ease. All of it faded, from the mystery of the box, the party gossip, to her work troubles. Here, she could just be Mom.“Dante, no climbing too high! Rachel called her voice a mix of warning and affection.“Okay, Mommy! Dante called back, waving before running off to fetch the ball he had been tossing around.Rachel exhaled and leaned back, enjoying the moment. But the peace was short-lived.Dante’s ball, propelled with more force than intended, went flying across the playground and hit someone square in the chest.“Oof!” came a familiar voice. The man reached out for a moment then recovered and took the ball again.Rachel’s heart froze when she looked up. Ethan.He looked about, searching for the owner of the ball, and came to a complete stop when his eyes met R

CHAPTER 49:

Rachel stood outside the elegant restaurant, her heart racing. She twirled the bag strap, toying with curiosity about why she felt so worried. It was just a business dinner. Ethan had been clear about wanting to discuss the collaboration between their brands.But the memory of his protective words at the party and the intensity in his eyes kept replaying in her mind. She brought herself back from the edge of a nervous breakdown by adjusting her blazer, going through with it too, determined to bear down the emotions billowing in her chest. This was work, nothing more.The doorman greeted her with a polite nod as she stepped inside. Ethan was already sitting at one of the small tables in the corner. He rose when he saw her, a smile spreading across his face.“Rachel,” he said warmly. “I’m glad you came.”She nodded, her throat suddenly dry. “Of course. I wouldn’t miss it.”He waved her to sit down and pulled out her chair. His gentlemanly behavior was both charming and unsettling. Rache

CHAPTER 50:

There was something about the atmosphere in Ethan's office that was peculiar as Rachel approached. His piercing blue eyes were focused on his laptop screen, but the moment she entered, his gaze softened. Rachel, in a fitted pencil skirt and an emerald-toned blouse that displayed her hazel eyes, stood nervously by the entrance.“You wanted to see me? she asked, her voice steady, masking her unease.Ethan threw back in his chair and gave her the gesture to sit down. “Yes, Rachel. We are still finalizing plans for the launch photoshoot of Mavericks & Co Couture. I’ve booked a top-tier studio for tomorrow.”A photoshoot? Rachel raised an eyebrow, her “business as usual” appearance unshakable.“Yes,” Ethan said, his tone firm but gentle. “This campaign needs us to lead by example. As co-creators of this project, we’ll be part of the shoot. Think of it as showcasing the strength of the partnership behind this brand.Rachel hesitated. The idea of being so publicly tied to Ethan unnerved her.
