Jules tapped her fingers impatiently on the dining table, eyes flicking between the wall clock and the silent phone in front of her.

It was minutes past ten and Ethan wasn't back from wherever he'd left for two days ago.

She had this gut feeling that something else was going on, and she was determined to find out what it was.

Ethan seemed so distant these days—didn't say much to her or Asher, left home really early and came back at night only to sleep off almost immediately he got under the duv

    The air in the room shifted immediately, all eyes snapping toward the doorway where Ethan stood in all his dark glory.Jules’ heart pounded in her chest. Her Mom’s mouth hung open. And Nolan?For the first time that evening, something in his expression cracked.Not fear. But something dangerously close.And for the next few seconds, no one moved. Each person trying to understand why Ethan Fraser was suddenly standing in Jules’ house like he owned it.Then Ethan pushed the door open even wider and stepped inside.“What the hell are you doing here?” Nolan finally asked, his voice low and heavy.Ethan remained calm. “I’m here to take back what is mine.” “Bold of a criminal to think he’s got properties.”A smirk tugged at Ethan’s lips as he clasped his hands behind his back. “I’m not here to exchange words with you, Cross. I have no time for that.”“Then leave.” Nolan said.Jules struggled to steady her breathing, one hand unconsciously resting against her stomach as she looked between

    Nolan shoved the key into the keyhole and turned on the ignition as soon as got into the car. His brows were furrowed, his eyes blazing, his body slightly trembling as he got onto the road. He’d been alerted as soon as Jules left the mall, and he sure wasn’t happy that Jules had left the house first of all, and that she’d let Ethan step in the same space with her. ‘They sat in the same car. He held her, stupid!’ “Argh!” he yelled, slamming his palm against the steering wheel as his mind slid a picture of what he imagined the scene was like. He’d hardly slept the night he’d gotten the text with picture proof from one man that had accompanied Jules, and it wasn’t just because of the fact that it was too late to march down to the house and confront Jules on what had happened. But the fact that she hadn’t taken any of his calls. And the only way he was able to confirm that she was okay was through her Mom. And the woman had begged him to be calm and wait till morning before he journ

    Ethan stood stunned for a moment, staring down at the wave of her hair falling over her back.He hadn’t known what to expect when he received the call that Jules was spotted leaving the house. He’d gotten into his car and followed her behind without thinking.All he’d wanted was to see her. To see how she was doing. Maybe apologize for everything. For scaring her, for the lies, for all the things he’d kept away from her..It hadn’t been his intention to frighten her in the aisle.He’d just stood there, watching her closely, watching how much pregnancy and time had changed her.At the same time, it made him relive memories—memories of when he first met her, and how much he cared so much about her, he was always scared the baby would break her.And once more she looked like she needed care, maybe his care. But he didn’t know how to approach her, how to begin the conversation.Instead, she’d rushed towards him and thrown herself at him.And he could help it as her body rattled with sobs.

    Jules double-checked her makeup in the mirror, rubbing her lips together to blend the lipstick she'd put on.Whatever stunt Nolan and her mom were trying to pull, she wasn’t about to let it give her a heart attack.She turned to the body mirror and picked up her hand bag, checking her jeans and the top she had on.It didn't hide her belly and it didn't conceal it completely either.Either way, she was going out.She turned towards the door, and paused, her heart nearly jumping out of her chest. Her mom stood there, her hand resting against the door frame, her eyes fixed on Jules. “Mom." She called, forcing a smile. “You're out of your room. I didn't see you there." “Your cheeks are flushed,” her mom observed calmly. “Where are you going?”"Out.”Her mom shot her a look, her voice calm. "You know you're not supposed to step out. Not with some rabid lady on the loose.”Jules scoffed. “And you actually think if she wanted to hurt me, being locked in here would stop her?”Her mom raise

    The ride home from the airport was quiet—too quiet. A heavy silence hung in the air, mixing with the sharp, sick smell of the pills her mom had swallowed minutes after they left the airport.Asher was thrilled to have her back. If not for him, Jules would’ve said a dozen things already. But she held them in. She would wait until they got home, when Asher was out of earshot.And until Nolan was there.She just kept to her side of the car and focused her gaze outside the window as the ride lasted. But then, her Mom’s hand slipped to her knee.She turned, her eyes landing on her Mom’s smiling face.“I know you’re worried,” her mom said softly, her voice low enough that Asher wouldn’t hear—even though he was sitting right there. “But I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine.” “I am,” her mom replied calmly.But Jules wasn’t convinced. Her frown returned. “I called you that day after I left Cassie and I got no response from you. You were knocked out, Mom.”“It’s the medication. My body couldn’t ha

    Jules followed Asher’s movements with her eyes as he ran around the airport’s waiting area, stopping to stare at every small child he came across or bumped into.It was cute, but she was a little paranoid as her eyes also darted between each person who closed in on wherever he was, like they were going to grab him and stuff him into a bag or something.One can’t be too careful, right?She tucked her hair behind her ear, remembering what Cassie had told her. How Cassie had told her Nora was coming. What was she going to do if she got her hands on her Mom? Or even worse, Asher?“Asher? Ash?!” she called, standing from where she sat and walking up to Asher, who was now standing in front of a man juggling some pens, resting against a wall.The man smiled at her, but she didn’t return it. She just placed her hands on Asher’s shoulders and pulled him away, narrowing her gaze at the man. “You know that’s dangerous.” He smiled. “I’m an expert. They never fall off my hands.”“Still, you don

    Jules glanced at the time and switched off the TV just as the cook placed dinner on the table.Refusing to permit her thoughts, she walked over to the table and uncovered the dish.“I don't think I'm hungry." “Really?" The lady said, her accent never failing to sneak in. “Is it the food? I could p

    “I’m just glad everything is finally going back to normal,” Jules said into the phone just as the car rolled to a stop in front of her company.“So just like that? The media are silent?" “Nah, not really,” she replied, stepping out of the car. "Some are still digging—wanting to know what's next af

    Before Nolan could get to the parking lot, he could see her car zooming out of the premises, with her driver standing dazed by the curb.“Shit,” he muttered, rushing toward his own car and fumbling with his keys. There wasn’t time to ask where she was going.All that mattered was following her.And

    The sound of Nolan’s heavy footsteps echoed through the house. It felt silent and hollow—just like his chest.It'd been two days since he confirmed Asher was getting a half sibling and he felt nothing less than foolish.‘Do I really act without my brain?’ he asked himself as he got up the hallway a
