THE SON BETWEEN US
Three years after a painful divorce, Ava Blackwood returns to the city she once fled from and this time as a mother carrying a secret that could destroy the fragile peace she built. Her son, Leo, is the living proof of a love that once consumed her and the one truth she swore she would never reveal to her ex-husband.
Ethan Blackwood is no longer the man Ava left behind. At thirty-three, he is a ruthless billionaire whose name commands respect and fear. He was cold and emotionally guarded, Ethan believes the past is buried until he crosses paths with Ava again and then he sees the child.
Leo’s resemblance is impossible to ignore.
As Ethan begins to suspect the truth, Ava fights desperately to protect her son from a world of wealth, power and emotional chaos. She remembers the man Ethan used to be, very distant, proud and incapable of choosing her when it mattered most. She refuses to let Leo become collateral damage in Ethan’s life but secrets have a way of unraveling with Sienna, Ethan’s current partner, watching closely and stirring conflict, tension rises and then wounds reopen, accusations fly and finally love and resentment collide.
When the truth finally comes out that Leo is Ethan’s son, the fallout is explosive.
Ethan is forced to confront the consequences of his past choices and the years he lost as a father. Ava must decide whether she can trust the man who once broke her heart not just with her love again but with their child.
Caught between regret and redemption, pride and vulnerability, Ava and Ethan must face the question neither of them can escape:
Can love survive the lies that once tore it apart when a child stands between them?

Chapter: The CEO's daughter?Ava POV "Here, baby. Take these sweets and give them to your friends." "Ok, mom." Leo smiled. I had arranged everything we came with into our luggage. I have finally gotten to the last meeting. I am really happy. Just the couple of days I stayed here, I have gone through a whole lot, but I am glad everything got resolved.. I put on my white corporate shirt that I've pressed ironed and set aside for this meeting. "Mom, you look so good in that beautiful dress of yours." "Thank you for the compliment, baby." I kissed his forehead. "So you won't stay long today?" "No, I won't. He frowned. "What's wrong, baby? You don't like it when mom comes to pick you up late, do you?" "I want to stay with them longer today." "I wish we could, but we still have a long trip back home.". "Ok, mama," he said, frowning. I left the apartment and took Leo to his nanny Anna. I got to the office right in time. Aria isn't here yet. I hope she's safe. She never stays this lon

Chapter: She is pregnant!Ethan POVTomorrow might be the day Ava leaves.I am certain she wouldn't stay any longer after the meeting concluded. There was nothing left for her in this city. Years ago, I had turned this place into a living hell for her.But before she will leave, I will need to have a word with her. I just want my son to recognize me as his father."Ethan, I'm pregnant."I froze.Sienna's voice came from behind me."What?" I asked, turning around."Don't act like you didn't hear me the first time," she snapped. "I'm pregnant.""And you think I'm responsible?"Her eyes widened in disbelief."Every responsible husband would be happy to hear that his wife is pregnant, but all you can do is question me?"I stared at her coldly."Ethan, I'm pregnant," she repeated, her voice trembling as though she were about to cry."My father will be in town tomorrow, and I'll make sure he hears about the way you've been treating me."Her words hit me hard.Mr. Bowen would never be pleased if Sienna told him about

Chapter: He made me a proud mom"Unskilled, incompetent, are all he could say. I had tried countless times to figure out his damn duty here but up to no avail. He just walks around, yells at everyone he pleases, just because he is the CEO’s Junior brother and he has also been given a position as the M.D. He is so cruel and mean.He crossed my boundary when he humiliated me at the reception in front of everyone and I promised to pay him back before leaving. He might have done this to so many but I won't let him go with this.The door opened wide and Aria came in with a fancy bag."Ma'am, you should have something to eat now. At least we don't have to bother about any missing documents."I smiled.***At the meeting,"Tomorrow is the final day for this project and it's not going to be like a regular meeting.” The assistant manager said."Can I have the document, Miss Ava?" the assistant manager required."Here it is,”“Why is it rumpled? I thought you would have done a press ironing to it since you always give an e

Chapter: Sneak?!"How is it going, Ana?" She nodded so as not to be distracted."Ma'am, we need the email the management sent." She said calmly."I will check for it now." I brought out my phone and luckily for me, I still had it."Ma'am, I have something that has been bothering me since the original document got missing." She said calmly."What is it, Aria?" I asked calmly but curious."I don't know how this will sound to you ma'am.""Just say it however it is, Aria.""It's about Mr. Ethan.""What, Ethan? What about him?" I asked curiously."Ever since the document got missing, he has been coming around, so I suspect... he has an idea of where or who is with the document.""Ugh... no, I doubt he does." I replied calmly. "Uhm… Aria, what I and Ethan have.... is personal so please let us continue with what matters to us. As we know time is not by our side, we have to be as fast and careful as possible." I said. "Here is the email.""I am sorry ma'am if I am being an intruder." she pleaded."Don't worr

Chapter: I want to be alone"I'm at the reception of your office."He is here?!"What the hell are you doing here? Do you think this is a spot you can come anytime to see me?" I shouted.Aria was also giving me a sign to calm down, but I was not just having it."Ava, please calm down. I have been worried about you. The last time we spoke... you were not looking fine," he said softly."Look, Ethan, I'm fine, perfectly fine. Thank you for your concern, but I didn't need it anyway.""Can I see you... I mean, can I come to your office?" he stammered."Ethan, don't you dare do that. Go back to wherever you are coming from. Please do not let us create a scene here.""Please, Ava. It's either I see you or I am not going anywhere.""What the hell is wrong with you? Are you insane? When did you become this jobless?""Ava, I haven't been myself since the last time I met you. I am on my way to your office right now. Please give me this chance...""My office? Don't you dare do that, Ethan. You don't have any right to do suc

Chapter: The new documentShe drove quickly to the office."As much as I don't want to lose the trust my company has for me, I also don't want to be involved in any illegal act. I despise people that do it a lot and I am never going to be one now, not because of a bloody document.""Ma’am, we are here now.".I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't know that we'd gotten to the office."Alright."I had barely walked into the reception when the managing director came to me with a grumpy face. He has never looked or talked nice to me before though."Miss Collins."Oh my gosh! Has he by any means found the document? What does he have to say right now? Mr. Cole called me yesterday, and up till now I haven't returned the call. I hope this won't cause damage to my company's finances if he finds it."Good day sir," I said, controlling myselfto let my fidgeting body show."What the hell is good about this day, Miss Ava Collins?" He snapped immediately as I expected him to."I was told you are very smart and you can
