Ethan's POV
"Don't bullshit me, cop. I have a mechanic who services my vehicles every month. I didn't have any leak. If I did, I would've smelled gasoline before leaving home with the car!"
I was in a fit of rage because this stupid cop kept telling me that the explosion was an accident caused by a leak in my gas tank. I knew damn well that I didn't have a leak. I couldn't have a leak when that car was newly bought just two weeks ago. I loved my cars as if they were my children and I gave them the best servicing in the world from top to bottom, exterior to interior.
"Mr. Hollen, calm down; we're looking into it for further investigation."
"Where's my fiancee?"
"She's just outside this door having a glass of water."
"She's pregnant and I don't want her being upset anymore. Can we leave now?"
"Yes. We'll call you when further information soon."
"Uh huh."
I stood up and went to find my woman. I had already called L
Emma's POVToday was Ethan's birthday and I planned on making it special for him. Halley, Hannah and I had already set up decorations and informed the party comers. He wasn't at home so he would get a great surprise later on when he got back from his trip.His Nana had moved in with us. She was getting fragile and still grieving over the death of her daughter, but I tried to make her as comfortable and peaceful as possible. She was looking forward to seeing the surprise on his face when he walked in and saw the party.The disc jockey was by the swimming pool; the security guards were checking and clearing the guest entrance. We wanted a safe party.After everything had been set up and put in order, and the caterers delivered the meals and we arranged the buffet style food, I went upstairs with Nana to get dressed. I helped her in the bathtub then went to my room and took a shower. I got dressed and went back over to assist her in getting ready.&nb
Ethan's POVIt's true what they say: play with the Devil and God will make you pay.I should've gotten rid of her a long time ago. Now she was here tormenting my life, hurting my love ones, and corrupting my household. Some people really knew how to bring out the worst in others. I had done right by her and never made her feel bad about being with me. I was good in every way possible, but I guess some people just can't be satisfied and appreciate shit.That's why I love Emma. I could be broke today or tomorrow and she'll still be around because she doesn't care about my money.She wouldn't stay with me if I did her wrong; she was not in it for the money. She was here because she loved me and I loved her too. I promised her that I would be there for her. I promised her that nobody was going to hurt her and the unborn babies again. I didn't break my promises. I didn't care if I would have to climb mountains and walk on water; I would fin
Ethan's POV"I slapped her in the face and called security to capture her. I couldn't believe she hurt Emma like that. She was supposed to clean the bedroom, not attack her!" Halley said in anguish as we sat in a public hospital, waiting to hear about Emma's condition from a doctor.I hated hospitals. Something about them screamed death with their cold halls and rooms. I hated them. I was going crazy and I wanted to kill someone. I wanted to wrap my hands around something and squeeze the life out of it.Why couldn't I catch a break? Why so much hate and anger? What did Emma ever do to anyone to deserve such an attack?I blamed myself. Hiring that maid out of the blue because I was angry with Emma for the miscarriage. I didn't even conduct a proper background check on Hannah like I usually did all my employees.I was so focused on capturing Sharon— the woman who killed my mom— that I forgot all about Emma and what Linda said about Hanna
Emma's POV"Emma you're not getting fat," Ethan groaned for the millionth time."Yes I am. I'm huge. Look at this. This dress can't even pass my chest anymore!""Emma, you're having twins. Of course you'll gain some weight, but baby you're not fat yet.""Yet?!" I cried out.My baby bump was now visible and I couldn't fit into my favorite black dress. Ethan was taking me out to dinner but I was throwing a tantrum because of what felt like sudden, rapid weight gain."Well why don't we just stay in and eat? Have the chef prepare us something special?""You don't wanna been seen with a cow in public?""Emma, stop it. You're not a cow, baby. You're beautiful.""You're only saying that because I'm your fiancee. I feel ugly.""Would you stop. You're not ugly.""Yes I am. You don't even want us to go out.""Emma, fine. Try on another dress and we'll go out.""For everyone to laugh at me wit
Ethan's POVWe arrived in the Bahamas in the afternoon. I knew I should have looked at other options, but I loved it here and I always pictured me and Emma here instead of Sharon. Emma was happy regardless. She wasn't at first but when we got to the hotel and she saw the beach along side it, she was overwhelmed with happiness. She was too excited to even take a quick nap after the flight. She changed into plain jeans, a light jacket and sandals, and we went for a walk along the beach. We got coconut water and Emma drank it down quickly."It's beautiful here," she said as she hugged my arm like a teddy bear.We sat on the sand and watched the small waves crash on the shore. The evening sun made the sky look like a perfect work of art with orange painted all around it. The wind was blowing calmly on our skin."Ethan? Ethan Hollen is that you?" I heard a voice asking from behind us.We turned around to see a tall, medium built woman
Emma's POVIt's quite funny how a guy can promise to never hurt you and say he'll always be there for you and how much he loves you, but all that change when they run into an ex or an old high school sweetheart. They forget you even exist.What he did to me was embarrassing. He was, literally, flirting with Stacy Westbrook right in front of me, and he didn't even introduce me. I expected him to be like: "Hi Stacy. It's good to see you again. This is my fiancee, Emma, and we're having twins."He was so excited to become a father and to spoil the kids, but he couldn't introduce them to one of his so-called old friends? I had every damn right to be upset with him. And instead of making it up to me, he left me alone in the room and took off to God knows where then came back smelling of cheap alcohol five hours later.I didn't want him around me. I couldn't stand looking at his face. I tossed him a pillow and a bed sheet and told him to occ
Ethan's POVShe was huge, especially since she was almost two weeks overdue. The doctor had told me that if she didn't give birth soon he'd have to induce her labor. I hadn't told Emma, I didn't want her to panic. But she was officially a "cow", but she was a very sexy cow. I couldn't tell her that though, it would hurt her feelings and make her cry. She was always so emotional. She literally cried at cartoons. I couldn't understand it but the doctor said it was normal for pregnant women to act this way.Then, there were times she was mad as hell. She couldn't stand the sight of me or even smell. I had to take some clothes of mine to a guest room and sleep there for days, until she calmed down and came back to her senses. All in all, I was blessed to have her and I was treating her like the queen she was. I loved that young woman with every inch and beat of my heart. She was right here at my side, now and forever.I watched her sleeping so peacefully on
Ethan's POVI watched them sleeping so soundly in the double crib in our bedroom. I had redecorated and arranged a bedroom across from ours for them, but Emma wanted them in the room with us so she could keep a very close eye on them. The first pregnancy was unsuccessful and I believed she would become very overprotective of the twins.The twins had come into the world yesterday, July 8th, at 11:04 a.m and 11:07 a.m.Emma's birthday was only four days away and I planned on making it extra special for her and my Nana.As I watched my children Evan's eyes opened. They were a bright gray like mine. I couldn't help but smile as he looked up at me and gave a bright toothless smile. He was silent. He didn't make a sound, only stared as if he were judging me. I was tempted to pick him up and hold him in my arms. The son I'd always wanted was now here in my room looking up at me, and he was perfect.I couldn't help myself anymore.
