Diana pov"I don't know why I feel bad," I muttered as I sat in the living room clutching a long cup of tea. My heart felt heavy as if it was waiting for something I didn't know yet, making me uneasy.The front door rang, breaking the silence of the night. I stood shakily, feeling the pressure in my chest, and opened the door. In front of the door stood a man with a cold, stern face. He looked unfamiliar. I didn't recognize him, but my gut feeling told me this man was carrying something important to me. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"I watched the man who looked as cold as ice and rigid as a robot with sharp eyes. I tried to act as strongly as possible, not wanting to be intimidated by his presence."Good evening, Ms. Diana," the man said flatly.I looked at him in confusion. "What is it? Who sent you here?"The man took a deep breath before continuing. "I apologize, but I bring bad news. Your son, Alex, has been involved in a car accident tonight. We regret to inform you tha
Diana’s pov"I'll finish you, Ethan! You'll pay for everything I feel!" I clenched my fists tightly.Today still felt like a storm ready to hit. I arrived at Ethan's house with a burning heart full of anger. The frustration that had been building up all this time had reached its breaking point, and I felt there was no other way but to vent all my feelings. Ethan, that bastard, has done something very disappointing, and I won't stop until he admits his guilt. Then I'll take him to prison and make him rot in it.When I arrived in front of Ethan's house, the atmosphere seemed to respond to my anger. The sky was overcast, and the wind blew hard, creating the same atmosphere I was experiencing. I knew I would make a mess, and I didn't care. I prepared for a big confrontation, not caring about anything that might happen.Without thinking about the consequences, I started shouting. "Ethan! Come out! You have to explain what you did!" My voice echoed around the house, and I could see the few
Ethan’s povI just got home, and my feelings are mixed. My steps feel heavy, as if every step is carrying a very heavy burden. Since this morning, today has been really tiring and emotional. I know I have to face this situation immediately and explain everything to Sarah, she needs to hear it, even though I'm actually lazy to discuss it."But it is necessary for Sarah to still know what happened, I have promised to tell everything to that woman from my own mouth. Whether it is important for her to know or not, let her conclude it."When I opened the door of the house, the atmosphere inside seemed to contrast with the weather outside which was filled with a buzzing sky, cold weather and other things that supported me to be gloomy.But strangely, inside it looked bright and warm. The nuance was so alive because there was someone there who made it warmer.In the living room, Sarah sat on the sofa with a tense expression when she saw my face looked a little gloomy, she looked confused and
Sarah's POV"Look what the seagulls brought Eth." I spread my arms out, pointing toward the expanse of the open sea where many seagulls were flying around, waiting for the fish to surface.Ethan turned to me for a moment before he set his sights on the seagulls I mentioned, his arms drawing my body closer to his as the wind picked up and blew toward us. "Ah, he's got a big fish in his beak." He looked at me with a laugh, watching my face as I laughed.I nodded as I watched the fish being painstakingly carried away by the seagull that didn't want to share its catch with others. Even birds try that hard in life and don't want to share their efforts with others.Seeing it made me think back to the situation Ethan and I were facing on the ship's deck, which was running steadily with the wind blowing against us. I thought about where we had come to with what we had gained. I wondered if this was too much or the other way around.I honestly don't feel guilty for what Diana did to me. I hone
Sarah's pov"Pregnant? You sure? It's not indigestion or an allergy problem?" I heard Ethan talking to the doctor and confirming it more clearly, but I was still confused while looking at the doctor.The doctor went back to check the results of my medical examination report. He looked at it again carefully and nodded his head. "Correct, sir. Your partner is currently pregnant. There is no indigestion, no reaction from allergies, or anything like that." He reiterated the sentence out loud.Ethan grasped my hand tightly, signaling me not to believe him just yet so that my hopes wouldn't soar with him first confirming the truth. "Doctor, sure it's not a mistake?" Once again, he sounded that discordant tone of doubt, but I knew he was just as surprised and hopeful as I was. Ethan turned to me briefly and pointed at me. "My wife is not used to seafood. She's never had seafood before. But today she enjoyed it so much, so it's possible..." he trailed off at the end of his sentence but didn't
Sarah’s POV"How is it? Is it more comfortable?" This was the number of times he had asked about my comfort since earlier.When I wanted to sit down, he would get an extra cushion or even put me on his lap in front of people who, of course, watched us while laughing because they thought it was unusual. During meals, he made a lot of fuss by requesting that the vegetables and fruits used or even other ingredients be strictly observed for their degree of ripeness, cleanliness, and flavor.I can only imagine how annoyed and irritated the kitchen dwellers were by his outrageous fussiness. They were professional chefs, and there was even a nutritionist employed there. He tried to patronize them even though he didn't have the same certification as them.I glanced at him sarcastically. I honestly shouldn't be like this because I'm worried that this will affect the 'Walnut' fetus in my womb. I decided to give it that name because it looked like a walnut. "Hey, never mind. You can make them st
Sarah pov's"Are you going to work?" I tried to get out of bed by pushing my body slowly to move, helped by Ethan's hand trying to sit me up. I noticed his clothes were already neat, and he nodded at me. "Yeah, I just finished getting ready and am about to leave." He approached me and kissed my forehead, lowering his head and looking down. His hand moved to gently rub my stomach. "Morning, little Canary, you're doing well there, right? How did you sleep last night?"I smiled a little while listening to his intense chat with canary. It seemed like both of them had a lot to talk about while this chat was still going one way. I looked up at him and caressed his face softly. "He's fine. There's no problem with his sleep, and he has no complaints. But he wishes he could rest longer." I told him my feelings, which I sometimes couldn't distinguish from hers.This pregnancy was making me less of myself and less of my desires; maybe the doctor was right. Many things would change, including th
Ethan's pov"Sarah? Where are you?" I walked into the house and found no one else around.The house was deserted, with no servants milling around as they usually do with work. As I continued to walk, I stared strangely and questioned where were they all? What happened? Could it be something...?I quickly shook my head, denying the bad thoughts I was thinking. I knew I had to be vigilant, but I didn't want that kind of thing to settle into my subconscious and happen. As much as possible, I had to push my fears away and stay positive no matter what.But this was making me uneasy. "Where did they all go?" I took out the phone from my other hand while the other hand lowered the peaches Sarah had asked me to buy onto the dining table.I repeatedly tried to call her, but there was no answer from the other end; I ran straight to her room, and as soon as I opened the door, I became even more panicked. My chest was pounding, my fear was getting worse, and seeing her not in the usual place I go
