~~ETHEL~~

Stephen stumbled back, his hand flying to his cheek, his eyes wide with shock. I didn't have to be told this was the first time Catherine had ever hit him.

Catherine was shaking, her chest heaving as she stared at him. "Say that again," she said, her voice trembling with fury. "Say one more word about my husband, and I swear to God—"

She broke off, her hand still raised, her face crumpling. And for the first time since this entire nightmare began, I saw genuine horror and pain on her

  • My Bastard Boss Wants Me In His Bed   The End

    ~~ETHEL~~Later that night, I was lying in bed, Maya asleep beside me, when I heard the door creak open. I sat up, my heart jumping.Keanu slipped inside, moving silently across the room. He paused when he saw Maya sprawled across the other side of the bed, then reached for my hand and pulled me gently out of bed."What are you doing?" I whispered."I couldn't wait," he murmured, guiding me toward the door."Keanu, she'll kill us.""Then we'll be quick."We stepped out into the hallway, and I let out a breathy laugh. "You couldn't wait one more night?"He pressed me against the wall, his hands finding my waist. "Not a chance."He kissed me, slow and deep, and I sighed blissfully because God knew it was torture following Maya's rules."I can't wait for you to be my wife," he murmured against my lips.I smiled, my arms looping around his neck. "I can't wait to be your wife."A sudden flutter went through my belly. The baby had just kicked. I gasped. I'd felt it move many times in the pas

    ~~ETHEL~~I stood at the window, staring out at the view of the ocean crashing on the shores as the sun began to dip towards the horizon, one hand resting on the swell of my belly.All I could think about was that tomorrow I was going to marry Keanu Martell. The thought still made my chest flutter.Keanu and I had talked about eloping. It had seemed like the easiest option—just the two of us tying the knot somewhere far away. But I couldn't stand the thought of Maya and Sharon not being there.They'd been our biggest supporters through everything, and they deserved to see this. So we'd compromised and decided on a small destination wedding at a private beach house Keanu had purchased. Just the five of us. Keanu, me, Maya, Edwards, and Sharon.No one else knew about the wedding, not even Catherine. Keanu's mother had eased up over the past few months, and the two of us had become cordial even though we were a long way from being friends.Maya appeared in the doorway, her arms full of w

    ~~KEANU~~"I think I'm pregnant."For a moment, I couldn't process what Ethel had just said."Pregnant?" The word came out rough, like it was my first time hearing it.Ethel nodded, her eyes searching my face. "I've been feeling nauseous and lightheaded a lot lately. I thought it was because of everything that was happening. But then I realized my period was late."She paused, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Maya ordered two test kits last night and had me do them.""And they were positive?"We'd gone to the hospital to get her on birth control, but I'd always known there was a small possibility it could fail."And they were positive." She confirmed, biting her lip. "But tests can give false positives. I haven't been to a doctor yet."My eyes automatically shifted down to her covered belly. It looked as flat as ever and yet... there was a child growing in there. Our child. The thought was overwhelming in the best possible way."I don't care about false positives," I said. "Y

    ~~ETHEL~~I stayed pressed against Keanu's chest for a long time, the steady beating of his heart comforting.When I finally pulled back, I had no doubt my eyes were red and swollen. The numbness was gone, and now I just felt raw.I could feel the curious and concerned eyes of everyone around, but I didn't feel self-conscious."Beloveds, it's time to begin the sermon." The minister announced, taking the podium.Everyone standing proceeded to take a seat. Keanu's hand remained on my back as he led me to the front row."Family, friends, and sympathizers, we're gathered here to mourn the loss of a great human..."I heard the words about my father's life and the people he'd touched. I didn't absorb most of it. I just let the sound wash over me while Keanu stayed close. His presence was almost surreal.When the service ended, four men went to the front to close and pick up the casket, leading it outside. The recessional piano played as everyone got up to follow. It was time to cremate his

    ~~ETHEL~~"I am so sorry for your loss, Ethel. Your father was a good man. My deepest condolences." The older woman tapped me sympathetically on the arm."Thank you, Mrs. Morrison," I said, nodding in what I hoped was an appreciative way.I hadn't been prepared for how draining it was to have so many people wanting to sympathize with me. I'd almost forgotten just how many people had loved and appreciated my father as a person.Almost a hundred and twenty people had showed up to the chapel after hearing about Dad's death one way or the other. In front of the church, Dad's casket was open for those standing around to see him.People came up to me one by one and spoke about him in the best way. They told stories I'd never heard before about his kindness, his humor, the way he'd helped people without ever expecting anything in return.It aligned with the man I'd always known, not who I'd found out he once became.It had been two days since Edwards had come to my apartment. I'd been sittin

    ~~KEANU~~The bastard's face went white. For a moment he just stared at me, his mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air."I don't know what you're talking about," he finally recovered. "You've got the wrong person. I've never killed anyone in my life."He tried to move past me. Edwards grabbed him by the shoulders and slammed him back down onto the couch."I don't know anything, I swear." Carlos insisted, his voice rising."David Sterling confessed everything before he died."Carlos froze, the color completely draining from his face. "That can't be true. David didn't turn himself in to the police. I would have known."If I had any doubt, his response had completely cleared it."David didn't turn himself in," I agreed. "But that doesn't mean he didn't make the confession."The bastard still had the guts to deny it. "I...I don't know what you're talking about."Something snapped inside me. I moved before Edwards could stop me, my hand closing around his throat. I lifted hi
