Ethan's POVI was so relieved to finally see my 7 months old fast asleep. She was such a handful. I couldn't help but become sorrowful as I watched her tiny face. She reminded me of her mother, who had passed away while bringing her to the world. ‘I wish she’s here with me, I wouldn't have to bring Lily to the office, after her nanny suddenly resigned.’ The more I looked at Lily's tiny face, the more memories of my late wife flashed through my mind. Lily’s face, lips, smiles and eyes all looked like my Michelle. My phone's sudden ring shattered my thoughts, it vibrated loudly on the table, that I was so scared it might wake Lily. I glanced at the screen and my frustration at the caller disappeared after seeing it was my mom.“Hello mom,” I said in a low tone, moving far away from Lily’s cot. “I heard Lily caused a tantrum in your office today,” my mom said, a hint of mockery in her voice. She was always quick to know everything happening in my office, making me wonder who her info

Ethan's POVToday was my birthday but I didn't feel like celebrating it, because it would only reopen the wound of the death of my wife. My only focus today was to go find out what meeting my mother had called me for. I just hope it wasn't another setup with some billionaire daughters she wanted me to marry. As my car pulled up to the mansion, I started hearing sounds like there was a celebration going on. My eyebrows arched in confusion as I stepped down, scanning the environment. Had my mother disregarded my request not to celebrate my birthday?I turned to Caleb, my personal assistant. “Do you know about this?” He shook his head. “No sir,” he said, his head lowered. Reluctantly, I walked into the living room, to be greeted by familiar faces. My mom had thrown a small party with a few close friends and my two aunties. Lest I forget, I was the only child of my parents. A big, decorated cake with my favourite color, blue, sat on the centre table, adorned with the inscription, “Ha

Ava's POV “Ava…..Ava, would you just stay inside that room and let me serve dinner?” That was Alicia's voice. I slapped my forehead in frustration and quickly hid the contract marriage terms and conditions. “Ava….” Her voice grew louder. “I'm coming!” I shouted back, clearly frustrated and quickly rushed out of the room. “Is this how you ignore your mother?” My dad yelled as I got to the dining room.“I rushed down here as I heard her voice….”“That's a lie,” Alicia snapped. “I called you more than five times.”“Five times,” I muttered, but swallowed my retort and whispered, “I’m sorry.” My dad's angry gaze lingered on me before he hissed and sat down. I hurried to the kitchen to serve the food, but Alicia had already portioned it onto plates, leaving them ready for me to carry to the dining table. However, there were only three plates on the tray. I rushed to the pot to see if she’d left some for me, but the pot was scraped clean. “1..2..3,” I recounted slowly. “Ahh!” I silent

“Jess!” Henry exclaimed, rushing back into his car. He’d thought the collision had seriously damaged Ava's taxi, but just as he was about to get to them, the taxi driver sped off. He sped after them but only to slam into a pole, bringing him to an abrupt halt. Before he could recover, Ava's taxi had vanished out of sight. Panic flooded through his blood as he circled the street, frantically searching for Ava's taxi. He drove to the King’s enterprise, but the fear of raising suspicion forced him to turn back. “What the hell do I want to tell Alicia,” he growled, pounding his fist on the steering wheel. Though he looked like the scary one, Alicia seemed more formidable and he feared her anger.Still pondering on what to do next, his phone rang, disrupting his thoughts. A glance at the screen revealed Alicia’s name, sending chills down his spine. Reluctantly, he answered the call and put the phone on speaker. “Is it done?” Alicia's voice was dangerously low. Henry's hand ran through

“You can go home,” Ethan's cold voice broke the silence, jolting Ava's back to the moment. Her teary eyes locked onto his stern eyes. Wasn't he going to say anything about what his mother had just said? “And….what about your mother?” Ava's voice trembled with emotion. Ethan's teeth clenched in frustration, his jaw tightening visibly. “I’ll handle that, go and take care of my daughter,” his face frowning as he said that. Ava nodded quietly and turned to leave but her feet felt rooted to the spot. She remembered she hadn't asked about Ethan's diagnosis. “What are you waiting for?” Ethan asked coldly. Ava returned slowly to him. “Your…I forget to ask how you're faring,” her voice trembled with fear. She swallowed hard and continued, ”The doctor refused to tell me your diagnosis,” Ethan's face squeezed up in a frown, and Ava's gaze dropped. “I'm fine, you don't need to know my diagnosis….”“I'm your wife!” Ava's voice rose, catching Ethan off guard. It was as if her patience and ca
