Martha's p.o.v"What?" I muttered in shock, my eyes blinking at the thought as I stuttered. "How— How did you know about Fabian and I?""Well, am I any wrong?"The silence that followed Jane's claim only made my throat bobb in anxiousness. It's not like Fabian and I being together again is a crime. But it will raise questions about Edmond's death and that would be such a great disaster for me— for my plan— my future.It's just too soon.I composed myself, leaving no room for suspicion. "You are right. And no, Edmond and Fabian weren't enemies. It was just some misunderstanding in the past." A facade smile encroached my face.I know Jane must have heard about Fabian from her father some how who was also an acquaintance to Fabian. Truly, Fabian and Edmond used to be close but a misunderstanding had happened between them. It was a long time ago even before I got married to Edmond."Oh, I see.""We should look forward to getting both Ethan and you back together. That is the present and t
Martha's p.o.vThe machines beeped and hummed softly as the silence broke, the smell of formaldehyde wafting through the hospital air. Jane sat up in her bed, her munch stopping, and her eyes, fixed on the door as I swung it opened.Ethan had abandoned her despite her treatment and the only visitation by any of his relatives is by me. She had been inquisitive and curios about him and all that he had been up to ever since the divorce. Although unaware of this particular visit, she has no idea what this conversation is all about or what is about to unfold.Jane's eyes met mine at the door and her expression was a mix of sheer disbelief and curiosity. An expression that couldn't help but cause her head to cock towards my direction."Hello, Jane," I said with a grin, my voice soft and gentle. "I hope I'm not disturbing or interrupting your meal?" I queried as I came forth, closing the ward's door, and she pushed aside her meal aside on the bed tray. "And how's the treatment going?""No,
Freya's p.o.vHow dare he?How dare he try to pull this game at me after everything he had done. He made a mockery of me and now, he wants custody of my child?My own child?The court had sent a notice and a summon will be heard. I had been told to be present and the date for the proceedings shall be in just two weeks time.I will.But not without spiting on that pathetic human's face for being a coward.Bang. Bang.I banged on his office door as his secretary scurried behind me, preventing me from gaining entrance.I tinkered the door opened and on his seat was himself holding a cup of coffee and sipping slowly on it.Unbothered."Leave us alone, Ashley," he ordered his secretary and she slammed the door behind her.I dropped the bag of cash I was holding, slamming it against his office desk. "What is this?" he asked calmly as he continued to savor on his coffee."That is enough money to help revive your empire if you wish to care," I sneered at him. "Leave my son out of this, Ethan
Freya's p.o.v"Yes, I did, Freya."I scoffed in disbelief. Of course it has to be her. Who else could? But I couldn't believe she'd betray my trust like that. "Listen, Freya. I don't know but I strongly believe Ethan never wrote those letters. Neither did he send them. There's clearly a misunderstanding somewhere and I could tell from his eyes. From his expression."A scoff broke out from me once again. I can't believe Ethan had successfully meandered his lies into Juliana's mind and had made her fall for it.He is lying.He is a damn, chronic and pathetic liar who would do anything to have his company back even if it meant destroying my marriage with Damian just because we have a son together!He might have gotten to Juliana but that game ends with me.He was really lucky I had to plea with Damian to let him go that night for intruding into private property in the first place.And yes, I had called the cops on him. I never knew his son and Junior attend the same school and even in
Ethan's p.o.v"Oh, my God. What happened to you?" Martha eyes expanded in shock as her gaze fell on me in the cell. The bruise on my face could barely have nothing on me.She seemed really concerned and I only felt my jaw clench in response at the sight of them together. And with him kissing her on the lips.How dare he put me in this mess and still have the nerves to peck her on the lips right in front of me! Damian and I had been detained by the police with our cell standing right in front of each other. Although, we have both been granted bail, but I still couldn't believe Freya would stand in front of everyone and tell them that I was indeed an intruder.How?!She clearly wouldn't want to have a talk with me concerning my own child and would even go extra mile in having me arrested for getting close to him.The warden came to unlock Damian's cell first, and I glared as he and Freya left and vanished into thin air."Ethan, are you OK?" Martha asked me after the warden set me free.
Ethan's p.o.vDamian led me in as he closed the door. "Please, sit," he said to me, gesturing at the leather yet exotic couch in his living room.I dropped the fake files on the silica table in front of the couch. "I'll just go and call her now." Damian said.I hummed."My love," I heard him call out as he strolled away from the living room to wherever Freya obviously is.I scoffed, repeating after him. "My love."The sweet smell of the rose vase sitting at a distance in the room and close to the T.v filled up the air. I walked up to the vase and picked up a rose, sniffed on it and let it fill up my senses. But it wasn't long until a murmur interrupted. The noises were obviously coming from the inside and I could tell my secret had been exposed. It wasn't like I wouldn't get caught anyway but I'm glad I'm all the way in now at least."Sammy?" I overheard her queried Damian. "What do you mean by Sammy, Damian. Sammy didn't even come to work today. He's been like down with fever for
