When they got home, she quickly rushed to the drawer where she usually kept his medications and crouched down to his level. "Whatever you do, do not take peanut butter again, okay?" she said as she gave him water to drink before slipping the drug into his mouth.

After swallowing it, he nodded at her with a cute smile on his face. She patted his head and carried him in her arms as she took him to his room.

"Get some sleep, okay? You'll be fine when you wake up." she smiled and gently placed him on the bed.

She removed his shoes and uniform and covered him with the duvet. Ethan snuggled into the duvet with a sigh. Her phone rang and she took it. A smile found its way to her lips when she saw that it was Liam calling and it was even a video call.

"It's Liam calling," she announced and Ethan quickly sat up as she took the call.

Liam's face lit up the minute his face came on the screen.

"Uncle!" Ethan exclaimed, causing him to chuckle softly.

"Aren't you a cutie? Why a

    10. NEXT DAY… That morning, Sophia was already at the house, ready to take care of Ethan. She smiled as she rang the doorbell. “Coming!” Janette yelled from the kitchen, rinsed her hands with water and cleaned it before leaving to get the door. When she opened the door and saw Sophia, her eyes widened. “Sophia,” she called, shock evident on her face. She wasn’t expecting her to come this early. “You’re here early.” Sophia smiled. “Yes, good morning, ma’am. It’s my first day of work at your place. First impressions matter, don’t you think?” she asked, and Janette grinned. “I guess,” she moved aside. “Come in,” she said, and. Sophia nodded before walking into the house. “Where’s Ethan?” she asked, looking around. “He is still asleep in his room. You could go wake him up.” Janette suggested, and she nodded, leaving for Ethan’s room immediately. Janette checked the wall clock. It was just a few minutes past six. ‘Is Sophia this diligent?’ she wondered, and glanced at

    11. Janette burst through the doors of the hospital and Rosa rushed to her the minute she saw her. She had gotten ready as quickly as she could. “Ma’am,” Rosa called as Janette approached her. “Where is he?” Janette asked, her expression unreadable. “I asked him to wait in your office.” Rosa answered and Janette nodded before storming to her office. When she got there, she threw the doors open, alerting Lucas of her presence. He stood to his feet and walked up to her, a small smile on his face. Janette didn’t return his smile, instead she looked like she couldn’t wait to deal the hell with him right now. “Good morning, Jane.” he greeted with a warm smile that only made her sick to the stomach. “What the heck are you doing here?” she asked, her face contorting into a frown. She sounded so harsh and icy that Lucas didn’t know when he shuddered. He cleared his throat. “I came to see you.” he answered and she raised an eyebrow. “You came to see me? What for?” she asked.

    12. Lucas returned to his office and took a seat. He swayed in his chair and heaved a deep breath. His eyes gazed blankly at the wall as he thought about Janette's words. He knew he had hurt her deeply, and he didn't blame her for feeling the way she did. He deserved her anger, her hatred, and her resentment. But he couldn't give up. He couldn't lose hope. He had to make things right, not just for himself, but for their son, Ethan. He wanted to be a good father and a good partner as well. He wanted to show her the love he had deprived her of in the past. Lucas took a deep breath and stood up from his chair. He walked over to the window and stared out at the city. He sighed as he watched people go about their daily lives. He returned to his chair and took a seat. His personal assistant walked into the office with a smile and bowed slightly. “Sir, you have a meeting with the board of directors in fifteen minutes. They will be at the conference room anytime soon.” Lucas sighed

    13. THE CAFETERIA… Sophie sat at the cafeteria, her tray of food in front of her, but she hadn't touched it. She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't know when her colleague and best friend, Mia, sat in front of her. Mia watched Sophie for a while, wondering what was wrong with her. When she couldn't take how pitiful Sophie was looking, she tapped her, causing her to flinch. “What is wrong with you? You haven't even touched your food. Are you sick?” she asked, but Sophie shook her head. “Then what is wrong with you?” Sophie sighed and looked around to make sure nobody's attention was on them before speaking up. “It's Mr. Lucas.” she answered and Mia sighed. “I should have known he's the only reason you can sit here, lost in deep thoughts and not touching your food,” she rolled her eyes and Sophie frowned at her. “What is up with him this time, Sophie?” she asked. Sophie adjusted in her seat and looked at Mia, her expression sad. “Mr. Lucas doesn't seem happy lately, an

    14. “No way! Are you serious?” Janette asked, her heart literally bubbling with joy. This was the best news she has heard today. Liam chuckled from the other end. “I can’t wait to finally see you, Jane.” She blushed, her face beaming with smiles. “I can’t wait to see you too. I bet Ethan will be thrilled to hear this news,” she said and there was no reply from the other end. “When are you coming? I need to get everything ready and prepare your favorite meal of course.” Liam hummed. “I’ve missed your cooking, Jane. I simply can’t wait,” he said and she chuckled. “I’ll be coming in two days.” Janette couldn’t contain her joy. “I can’t wait.” They talked for a while before hanging up and Janette couldn’t help but smile throughout the day. She had to even get off work early so she could pick Ethan up from school, take him to his favorite cupcake shop and allow him to have fun. * “Mummy!” Ethan exclaimed the minute he saw her walk through the door. He rushed into her arms and she pe

    15.“Beauty tips?” Janette blinked. “She is just a kid!”Fiona scoffed. “That doesn’t matter,” she blurted out, her gaze flying to Ethan, who stood, holding on to Janette’s hands. She couldn’t deny that Ethan was good-looking and she wondered what skin cares routine Janette uses for him. “What skin care routine do you use for your little boy?” she asked and Janette blinked.Janette looked at Ethan then back at Fiona.Ethan was quick to defend his mother. “My mummy doesn’t use any skin care routine on me. I am naturally good-looking. I got it from my daddy!” Fiona raised an eyebrow. “There is no way you’d look handsome and cute without your mother using any skin care products on you. Trust me, you’re just a kid and you know nothing. You’re simply—”“I’d have to stop you right there, Fiona,” Janette interrupted with a raise of her palm. “My son is naturally cute and adorable, and so is your daughter, Amaya. You should focus on taking better care of her and her needs instead of trying t

    16.After dinner, Janette cleared the place and tucked Ethan into bed before making her way to the porch with a cup of coffee in her hand. Since Liam was returning home today, she didn't want to bother Sophia with coming over anymore and had to do most things herself.She took a seat and crossed her legs over themselves as she gazed at the stars with a smile on her face. She had always loved watching the stars every night but after everything turned upside down, she lost her love for them.She felt they weren’t even living things and they got to stay up there tasked with only the job of aiding the moon in lighting everywhere while her life was in shambles.But after she got her life back together, she felt apologetic and developed her love for them again. She heaved a deep breath as they shone and shimmered above her head.She took a sip from her coffee and her phone beeped.

    17.Janette stared at Lucas, her mouth agape. The world was a small place, wasn't it? She had fought tooth and nail to save this woman's life not knowing that the woman was the Aunt to her jerky ex-husband.Lucas looked up to meet Janette's gaze. Her expression turned indifferent at the sight of him and it made him feel hurt. "How is she, please?" he asked, his voice slightly shaken.Janette sighed. "She made it through surgery and will be fine," she said and Lucas breathe a sigh of relief. "The healing process is going to be long, but I will be with her every step of the way."Lucas felt grateful. He held her hand. "Thank you so much, Janette. You have no idea what this means to me. Aunt Mary had always been my source of comfort and confidant-""Mr. Lucas?" she interrupted him, pulling her hand away from his grasp. "I am not interested in your history with her or how good your relationship with her is. What I'm concerned about is her health and I already told you she would be fine."

She’s been there for like three hours now, and the informant says she hasn’t driven out of there yet.” Victor spoke up from the other end of the phone.Liam couldn’t believe what he was wearing. Did Janette actually wait for him to leave before going to see Lucas? And why didn’t she tell him where she was when he called? Did that mean she didn’t trust him at all? He couldn’t believe that he hadn’t been gone a day and Lucas was already being an asshole. Oh, he couldn’t wait to teach the bastard a lesson.“You know, Victor,” he began, his voice taking on a more dangerous tone. “I didn’t want to follow my father’s plan from the beginning, but I think I will. If Lucas can play dirty by calling my woman to his place when I’m not in town, then I can play dirty as well.”“What are you going to do?” Victor asked.Liam chuckled. “W

    065.After the cake was ready, Janette served it into plates and smiled. She heard someone running towards the kitchen and turned in time to see the door opening and Ethan rushing in. Ethan’s little eyes widened the minute he saw Janette.“Mummy!” he called, spreading his arms wide.Janette smiled and picked him up, planting kisses on his face. “My sweet hero,” she said, giving him another peck on the cheek. “You’ve woken up?”Ethan nodded. “Grandma read me a story and I slept off. Then I smelled cake and had to wake up and rush down here.” he beamed.Janette chuckled. “I had to make it for you since that’s your favorite.”“It’s your favorite too, mummy.”Janette smirked. “Like mother, like son then,”Ethan smiled at her. Janette placed her hand on his forehead, the fever had calmed down. She sighed in relief. “You’re fine now, right? Do you feel pains anywhere?”Ethan shook his head. “After Daddy brought me here, I feel better. I got sick because I missed Daddy.”Janette blinked at h

Janette looked up and their eyes met.“Are you watching me or what I’m doing, Mr. Harry?” she asked.Lucas shamelessly nodded. “Both.”Janette rolled her eyes. When she was done and put the cake in the oven, she turned to face him, his eyes were still on her. She folded her arms. “Seriously? You aren’t going to stop staring at me?” she asked.Lucas took a step forward and took her hand in his. “Do you want me to stop?” he asked, his voice low and his gaze fixed on her.Janette bit her lower lip. “Uhhh…”“You’re hesitating,” he smirked. “That means you do not want me to stop.”Janette scoffed. “Of course I want you to stop.”“Then why did you hesitate?” he asked, closing the distance between them.Janette met his gaze, her heart pounding in her chest. She tried to maintain her composure, but the intensity of his stare was making it difficu

    063.Janette didn’t know why but when she heard that Lucas was the one who too Ethan home, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. She didn’t know if it was because she trusted that Ethan was in safe hands, or if she actually developed a soft spot for her ex-husband.She sighed and quickly placed a call to Lucas who answered immediately. Janette wondered if he was expecting her call.“Hi, where did you take Ethan?” she asked.Lucas snickered from the other hand. “Why are you asking like I kidnapped him or something?” Janette bit her lower lip. “Did I come off like that?” she sighed. “I mean, where are you and Ethan?”“Thats much better. We are at the mansion.”Janette nodded. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”“Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to come pick you up.”“No can do, Lucas,” she said. “It’s faster if I come there on my own. I’m so worried.” she hung up and removed her coat, took her jacket and picked up her car keys.Just as she was about going out the door, Rosa came in and arche

    A WEEK LATER...“Is everything ready?” Darcel asked as she walked into the house.Samantha and the rest nodded and gave her a thumbs up. Darcel gestured for them to turn off the lights and they did. They heard the sound of Mia's car driving into the compound and hid themselves.Excitement was in the air as they waited for the two lovebirds to make their way into the house. They heard Mia's excited voice talking with Shawn, but she stopped the minute the door opened and what she met was obscure darkness.Mia's brows furrowed in confusion. Darcel called her that they were home, what was going on?“Where did everybody go? And why is everywhere so dark?” Shawn asked, his expression mirroring that of Mia.“I have no idea,” Mia sighed but then she caught a whiff of something in the air. “Is that cake I smell?” her face lit up. “Wait here, Shawn, I'll go turn on the lights.”She found a way to the switch and turned it on. Immediately the lights came on, the group jumped up and screamed “CONG

You can’t just ask me to come to California out of the blue!” Liam snapped at his father over the phone, his face twisting in rage.His father—Reynold Geoffrey—switched the call to video call, his angry face popping up on the screen for Liam to see. “Look, Liam, it’s mandatory you come to this place right now. I know you want to get things done with Janette first, but she isn’t going anywhere. This is more important.”Liam scoffed. “Who says she isn’t going anywhere?” he asked, his tone hard. “I told you, didn’t I? I told you she’s been getting swayed by her ex-husband lately. If I leave, I’m only giving him the chance to come closer to her and win her back.”Reynold pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. “You know nothing, do you? Did I make a mistake by making you to handle my company?” he asked and Liam lowered his head. “With the weight of what he did to her in the past, she would never forgive him. And if she’s get

He knew exactly what to do.Alan walked into his office that moment, beaming with smiles. “Good day, sir.” he said and Lucas turned, his brows raising in question.“Since when do you ever greet me this way, Alan?” he asked, suspicion lacing his tone.Alan gasped. “Are you calling me disrespectful now? For goodness’ sake, I am your assistant.”Lucas responded with an eye roll. “Why are you so excited, Alan?” he asked, taking a seat.Alan cleared his throat and sat down as well. “I made up with Rosa,” he said but Lucas wore an expressionless face, though Alan could swear he saw a hint of a smile on his face. “Aren’t you happy for me?”“Of course I am,” Lucas responded. “I just wanted to be sure you aren’t pulling one of your numerous pranks on me,” Alan chuckled. “I’m being for real this time,” he said and Lucas smi

    059.Rosa sat in the cafeteria, having lunch when Alan walked in. Her eyes widened when she saw that he was looking around, and she quickly picked up a menu and covered her face with it. “What is he doing here?” she muttered to herself and peeped a bit.Alan was sure whoever told him she was in the cafeteria wouldn’t lie to him. When he turned and saw a lady covering her face with a menu, he suspected she might be the one. His eyes darted to her black colored nails and he knew instantly.“Rosa,” he smiled to himself and walked up to her. Rosa gasped when he took a seat and took the menu from her. “Seriously?” she rolled her eyes.“I should be the one asking that,” Alan said, dropping the menu on the table. “You are practically ignoring me.”Rosa scoffed. “Ignoring you? No!” she waved it off with an awkward chuckle.Alan grinned and leaned forward, causing her to lean back. “After that night, I’ve been wanting to talk to you. You bounce my calls, and decline seeing me,” he said, his

    058.A week later…Janette got a call from the school and was asked to come for an important meeting. She had to quickly rush there, worried that something might have happened to Ethan or Amaya again. Were they bullied by a new student? Did Ethan get his allergies again? As she stepped out of her car and rushed to the teacher’s office, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of worry that washed over her. But when she entered and saw Bella seated on the chair with Lucas beside her, she is sure something was definitely wrong. Janette paused, her eyes darting from Bella to Lucas. What were they doing here? And why the heck was she called here? If it was about how her son bullied Lucas, she wasn’t in the mood for all that, and wasn’t going to stand for anything they were going to say today.Her expression hardened as her eyes met with that of Bella’s. “What is going on here?” she asked flatly.“Oh, Ms. Wayne, you made it,” Mrs. Yuna smiled as she walked into the office. “I’m so glad you cam
