Ethan sat in the sleek luxury desk at his office, eyes skimming the contract on the table while his business partner went on about a new expansion plan. He tapped a pen lightly against the folder, paying rapt attention to what he was saying and trying to go through the document at the same time. Just as the man across from him leaned forward to discuss revenue projections, Ethan’s phone buzzed beside him.

He glanced down and saw the name: Brielle. His heart skipped in a good way.

“Excuse me,” Ethan said, raising a hand. “Give me a minute. I need to take this.”

The business partner nodded immediately. Seeing the bright look on Ethan’s face, he thought that it might be his wife.

Ethan stood and walked toward the glass wall at the edge of the room, answering the call.

“Brielle?”

“I’m sorry to interrupt,” she said quickly. “I know you’re probably busy.”

“It’s fine,” Ethan said, already softening. As a matter of fact, he was glad she called. It was something she rarely did these days. “The

    Brielle’s eyelids fluttered open, her eyes adjusting to the harsh light. A groan left her lips as she felt a sharp headache slice through her head. After many tries, her eyes finally opened and she was met with an unfamiliar environment.“Where am I?” She thought, looking around the old ugly room. The paint was already worn out, the ceilings begging for attention and the harsh sunlight coming from the window directly in front of her.This wasn’t her house.Brielle sat up immediately, panicking spreading through her chest. She racked her brain, wondering how she got here.After a short while, her memories came flooding in.****ELEVEN HOURS AGO!“Where are you going to, Brielle? It’s late. Why don’t you wait until tomorrow morning?” Rosa asked worriedly, hurrying behind her as she dragged her suitcase out of the house.“No, Rosa,” Brielle said firmly, her eyes filled with hate and determination. “I’m not spending the night here. Ethan might be back by morning. I’m not going to see his

    Ethan checked his wristwatch as he bolted out of the office building. It was already almost midnight. Thankfully, the streets were still very much alive but without traffic. He ignited the car engine and zoomed off, his hands shaking with nervousness as he went over what he was going to tell Brielle over and over again.“You got this, Ethan.” He told himself, remembering Anita’s words.Thirty minutes later, he arrived at the house and it was a few minutes past midnight. He sat in his car for a minute, prepping himself for the final time.“I…I—” he tried rehearsing the words but failed to get them out. He then decided to just go with the flow line Anita said. She was sure he would get the hang of it once he was in front of Brielle.He finally got out of the car and entered the house. He was met with an eerie silence with not even a cricket helping to break it. He walked up the stairs and stopped in front of Brielle’s door. After taking a deep breath, he knocked once.There was no respo

    Anita arrived at Ethan’s office one hour later. When she pushed open his office door, the sight she was met with sent tears to her eyes.Ethan was sprawled out on the little couch in his office, his hair ruffled, his face wet with tears, and his expression like he had just lost a loved one.Anita’s heart broke more than it did when she heard his voice over the phone.“Oh, Ethan.” She sighed and sprinted towards him. She went to where he was and sat on the floor, holding his head in her hand.“Hey… I’m here now, okay.” She said, wiping her tears as she didn’t want him to see her cry.After a while, she finally decided to bring up what they spoke about on the phone. “What did you tell her?” She asked.Ethan remained silent, only the sound of his sniffles leaving him could be heard.“When she told you about the pregnancy, what was your response?” She asked, more clearly this time.Ethan raised his head and she was met with his bloodshot eyes. The sight broke her further. He stared at her

    “I’m pregnant.”There was an eerie silence in the dining room as soon as the words left Brielle’s lips. She looked at Ethan intently, searching for any kind of reaction from him but, she got nothing.He had blanked out…completely.Minutes passed and not even a sound had left his lips. He just stared at her like he was looking at a ghost.Not being able to take the silence anymore, Brielle spoke. “Ethan?” She called out.Nothing.“Ethan?” Still no response.“Ethan!?” She raised her voice, slamming her hands on the table. Her heart was starting to race as the thought that he might hate the idea of having a child entered her head.He blinked, clearly coming out of whatever daze he was in. “Did you hear what I said?” She asked.His mouth opened…then closed. Then, it opened again but no words came out.He couldn’t find his voice.“I said I am pregnant, Ethan. We’re having a baby.” She said more clearly and his eyes widened, his breath loud enough for her to hear.“Ethan!”The chair scraped

    “I think I’m ready to tell Ethan about the baby,” Brielle said after taking deep breaths, her heart still pounding.“Oh…” Ella responded, her tone unsure.“What is it?” Brielle asked, her heart dropping at Ella’s tone. She didn’t expect Ella to be excited about the idea, but that certainly wasn’t the reaction she expected.“Honey, I’m just shocked. That’s all.” Ella confessed, making Brielle more nervous than she already was.“The reason you didn’t want to tell him about the pregnancy was because you felt he was too irresponsible to father your child and you didn’t want your child to be raised by someone like Ethan. Why the change of heart?” Ella asked, sounding genuinely concerned for her friend and future godchild.Brielle exhaled, “While I cannot say that Ethan has had a complete 360 change, I can say that he has shown a little change, and that is enough for me, Ella. It’s not like I’m accepting him back into my life. That chapter is closed, Ella. But, the child is his as much as i

    Two Days LaterA groan leaves Jessica’s lips as she stirs awake on the cold, hard floor, her body instantly recognizing the harsh sleeping environment. She tries to sit up but a sharp pain in her back forces her down. She hisses immediately, cursing Brielle and Ethan for putting her in this situation.“I’m pregnant for fuck’s sake. I shouldn’t be sleeping on the floor.” She grumbled, blinking the tears away.A ruffle is heard from the other side of the holding cell and a chuckle follows. “Then don’t commit crimes. If you care so much about your child, you wouldn’t have tried to kill someone.” An older lady who had been in the cell a few hours before her said, sounding annoyed at her groaning.Jessica rolled her eyes. “I don’t remember talking to you. Why don’t you mind your business?” She answered in an irritated tone then turned away.“I’ll watch my tone if I were you.” The woman said, feeling offended at Jessica’s words. “You wouldn’t want to get on my bad side. We might share a roo
