Ethan didn’t know if it was fate or if his parents had sent Kimberly to follow him everywhere, he went to because he could not understand why he suddenly started seeing her in his usual spots. In the casino, she was always there and, on some occasions, he had even told the security men to deny her entry because he didn’t want her in his space. He was not stupid not to realize that this was not any coincidence but what he didn’t know for sure was if this was his parents plan or if she came up with the idea by herself because he knew that she could be crazy like that.One afternoon while he was leaving the office to go have some drinks at his favorite bar and maybe pick up a girl or two for the night depending on his mood later on, he bumped into someone and just as he was about to apologize for his clumsiness, he looked up and discovered that it was no other person than Kimberly. He sighed internally because he knew that she had intentionally bumped into him and it was not an accide
In a thousand years, Ethan would have not believed he would be facing something like this. He stood outside his parents' house, a mix of determination and defiance swirling within him. When he had made the firm decision not to marry Kimberly, he had believed that there was really nothing on planet earth that would made him go back on his word and decision but little did he know that fate had an unexpected turn waiting for him, one that would bring him back to his parents' doorstep just a week later, agreeing to their request and altering the course of his life forever.As the sun rose the next morning after his ordeal with Kimberly at the bar, Ethan's troubled sleep was abruptly shattered further by his ringing phone. Fumbling in the darkness, he managed to answer it, his voice groggy with sleep. He didn’t have time to even check who it was."Hello?""Hello Sir. It's Mike” the person at the other end of the phone said and Ethan instantly stood up from his bed and checked his phone
Amidst the chaotic wedding preparations, Ethan couldn't help but notice the growing tension between himself and Kimberly. Everyone already knew that he didn’t like her a single bit and he was really trying to get along with her because after all they were soon going to become man and wife but she was not making it an easy task for him as her domineering personality clashed with his independent and free-spirited nature, creating a constant source of conflict.One evening, as they reviewed the guest list for the umpteenth time, Kimberly snapped impatiently at Ethan. "Can't you at least try to understand what I want? This wedding is important, and I won't settle for anything less than perfection. I am Kimberly and my wedding should be on the mouths of blogs for months and even years if possible"Ethan clenched his jaw, struggling to maintain his composure. "I understand that, Kimberly, but I also believe that this wedding should reflect who we are as individuals and as a couple. It sh
The wedding was an elaborate affair, a grand spectacle meticulously planned to perfection. Ethan had tried his best but still Kimberly had had her way and it turned out to be a very big wedding. To outsiders, it appeared to be a resounding success, and it certainly made Kimberly's dreams come true. Her desires were now a reality even though it was at the expense of Ethan’s own and it made him wonder how their marriage will be in the long run if she was this selfish and inconsiderate of other people’s wants and needs.The day before Ethan and Kimberly had gone into the church to look through everything one more time and he could not help but admire the place. It would have been very nice if it was not his own wedding that was taking place here. The venue was gorgeous, the extravagant floral displays, and the dazzling lights it was all as she had envisioned and now it was her reality.“This is the most magical thing I have ever seen” she said excitedly as a smile started to grow on h
From the very outset, the marriage between Kimberly and Ethan was a fragile bond, teetering on the edge of chaos. While to the outside world, their grand wedding had seemed like a fairytale beginning, the reality behind closed doors told a different story.Kimberly's insatiable desire for fame and popularity had become unbearable. Her dreams of being the talk of the town hadn't waned with marriage; instead, they intensified. She relentlessly sold her glamour shots to the highest-paying magazines, seeking the spotlight at any cost. Her determination to stay in the limelight consumed her, leaving little room for the relationship that was already dead from the beginning.One evening as Ethan was leaving the office, he was rushed by the paparazzi who were demanding answers about something that Kimberly did.“Good afternoon Mr. hunters. How do you feel about your wife being rumored to be a par of this scandal?” one asked him as different colors and sizes of microphone was shoved at his
THREE YEARS LATERAVA“Jayden! Jane! Come on now or you’ll be late for school” Ava shouted to her kids who were already running late to school. Every morning she made sure to wake them up very early and still some how they managed to always go late still that they already had a reputation at the school for being latecomers. She dropped them off at school every morning and then headed to her office where she worked as a receptionist but the problem was that the company rarely even made enough money to pay her workers and so she was basically still living from hand to mouth.Three years had passed since Ava had run away from her hometown after the humiliating experience of getting pregnant by an unknown man and ever since then she had been shouldering the immense responsibility of raising her two kids alone.

Ava kept her aunt's words in mind as she faced her first day at work. She had gotten up very early and dressed up because she didn’t want to be late so as not to give a bad impression. On her way to the office, she felt anxiety building up and she tried to calm herself down. This was her first interview after her application latter was responded to by the office. And it meant that she was going to meet up with the CEO, Mr. hunters for him to assess her to know if she was qualified for the role that she was applying for.The office buzzed with activity, and as she sat waiting for her name to be called, her anxiety grew worse and she fought the urge to stand up and go home but she knew she had to do this because of her children. Few minutes later, her name was called and as she entered his office she was thrown aback in surprise. Who was she looking at? The man looked like her baby Jayden. The resemblance was undeniable and a lot of things started running through her mind as she s
Ava's mind was still overwhelmed by the similarities she had noticed between her son, Jayden, and her new boss, Ethan. The more she thought about it, the more she felt an undeniable connection that couldn't be ignored. Determined to find out the truth, Ava knew she had to take advantage of her role as Ethan's secretary.With a plan forming in her mind, Ava entered the office early the next day. She had decided to subtly gather information and observe Ethan's behavior closely, hoping it would shed some light on the situation. As she settled into her desk, Ethan walked in with his usual professional demeanor."Good morning, Ethan," Ava greeted him with a warm smile, trying her best to hide her curiosity."Morning, Ava. Anything I should be aware of today?" Ethan asked, giving her a polite nod."Oh, just the regular schedule of meetings and appointments. I've organized everything for you," she replied, striving to sound casual.“Alright then. Please bring a physical copy to me”She wa
