Borrowed Arms

Ethan’s POV.

After the military, nightmares became my shadow—silent, persistent, and brutally loyal. Every night, I brace myself for the familiar images: gunshots, blood, screams, and the terrifying stillness that follows war. It’s the same loop. And whenever I have them, sleep becomes impossible.

I really don't know how to describe that feeling but it's scary.

But last night… Last night was different.

Her hand—small, warm and steady—patting my back like I was a child lost in a storm. I can’t even explain the feeling. Like my soul had been wrapped in something soft for the first time in years. Not even Evelyn, my ex, could calm me like that. Sure, we slept together, physically, but the silence after my nightmares was always mine to endure.

But her? Ella? That tiny, sharp-mouthed woman who’s not even afraid to roll her eyes at me in public?

She didn’t do anything fancy, she didn’t even say much… but for the first time in ages, I slept. A proper, uninterrupted sleep. That’s not just rar

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    The package

    Ethan's POV.Announcing to my employees that Ella was my wife wasn’t just impulsive—it was dangerously off-script. Definitely not part of the contract.But why did I do it?Maybe because I’m starting to like her. God help me. I didn’t plan on it, didn’t ask for it, but here we are. They say you don’t choose who you fall for, right? Your heart just leaps off a cliff, and your brain is stuck at the top shouting, “Wait, we didn’t agree to this!”By the time we pulled up to my family’s estate—the kind of mansion that tried too hard to look casual, we were both silent. The night air felt thick, and Ella had her hands folded on her lap like she was going to a job interview she didn’t apply for.Inside, the chandelier twinkled above like it was laughing at us. My dad was already at the dining table, swirling a glass of red wine with one hand while stabbing a steak with the other. Across from him sat Victoria, draped in silk like some villainous duchess from a daytime soap.“Ah. The guests ha

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    Tangled in Trouble

    Ella’s POV.Patting his back was supposed to be nothing—a silly favour for a grumpy man-child who couldn't sleep without a lullaby. But somehow, we got here.How did this happen? It’s actually funny when I think about it. I used to glare at him like he was a mosquito buzzing in my ear. Now here I am, in bed with him, singing lullabies and playing human melatonin. From enemies to... whatever this is.The way he looked at me that night made my stomach do a little Olympic flip. And when his fingers brushed against my lips unintentionally, I think…I stopped humming. My voice died in my throat. He just... left his fingers there for a second, gently parting my bottom lip.I should've slapped him or at least asked what the heck he was doing. But instead, I froze. My brain stopped functioning, and my hormones apparently took over.Then he pulled his hand away like he just realized what he’d done. A sane person would’ve ended it there, right?But no. Me? I held his hand.And I licked it.I. L

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    The nightmare

    Ella’s POV.I shouldn't have sent that text, right?Now he probably thinks I’m missing him or something. Ew. That thought alone makes me shiver like someone poured cold water down my spine. It’s not like I was checking if he ate or anything — I just happened to walk past the food tray I left for him and saw it untouched. That’s all. I didn’t care. Nope. Not even a bit. I was just being… civil. That’s right, civil.I mean, I told the maids not to prepare dinner, so leaving him food was just… common courtesy. A good person thing. Not a soft-for-him thing. Ugh.Anyway, I had moved on to the better part of my evening: watching the most ridiculous telenovela on earth. I was stretched across the softest couch in this luxury penthouse, laughing so hard I was practically crying. The male lead had just confessed his love while hanging off a cliff — very realistic, I know. I laughed so loud I nearly rolled onto the floor.That’s when I heard the beep of the front door unlocking.“Oh, he’s back

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    Weakness

    Ethan's POV.Honestly, there was no specific reason I called her. I wasn’t thinking of her or missing her—nah, don’t get it twisted. I just wanted to make sure she was okay… well, sort of.Okay fine, maybe I was a little worried. Not in the “aww she’s my sunshine way”, but because, well… I kinda need her to stay alive. Without that baby, I might be kissing my CEO chair goodbye, and I’ve worked too hard to end up taking orders from my annoying sister Victoria. She's been longing for that position for the longest time ever.“Hello,” she said.She sounded awkward, like someone forced her to answer my call while holding her cat hostage.“Are you alright?” I asked, trying to sound casual, like I didn’t rehearse the line twice in my head.“What…?” She replied, clearly confused. Was it so shocking that I showed a bit of concern?“I mean, are you comfortable working here? Don’t feel pressured or anything,” I added quickly. “By the way, I sent you a file—print it out and bring it to me.”“Oka

  • CEO'S UNEXPECTED BABY    Let the drama begin

    Ella's POV."Yes... Let's do it," I said firmly, my voice barely steady. My hands were cold, but my heart was burning with determination."Did your grandma finally agree to it?" Ethan asked, his tone calm, almost cautious.I bit my lip, feeling a lump in my throat."No. I want to do it... without her consent."He paused for a moment. "Are you sure about this?"I nodded, even though he couldn’t see me. “Yeah.”“Alright,” he said, his voice softening slightly. “Come to my place before I leave for work. Let’s get through with it.”I didn’t hesitate to say yes. When the sun started rising, casting a golden light through the tattered curtains of our little room, I quietly left. Grandma and Lucy were still deep asleep. I didn’t want to see their faces—not yet. Not until I had done something... something that could finally lift us out of the dirt.The address he sent led me to a neighborhood I had only seen in magazines. Expensive houses lined the street like royal guards, each one looking l
