Ethan's POV~

The sharp scent of disinfectant hung heavily in the air. The ticking clock echoed through the waiting room, a relentless reminder of a passing moment. My expression remained tensed, my breath heavy as I paced the room, a line of worry on my forehead. Eric was still undergoing his surgery and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of anxiety and hope. My heart raced and I let out a deep breath, praying for a successful outcome and a speedy recovery. The silence was heavy, making it hard to breathe. All I needed was news and updates about the surgery. Are they done? How is Eric? Is he fine?

Several questions crossed my mind and I could feel every fear threatening to consume me. I walked to the door, crossed my arms and bit my lower lips, my anxiety going through the roof. And then, my thoughts drifted towards Scarlett. It's almost forty minutes and I haven't seen her. She left the waiting room a few minutes ago but I have no clue where she could be? This is unlike her. She can

She's called severally, curious to know where he was but he ends up ignoring her calls, needing space from her questions. Ethan regretted snapping at her, knowing his insecurity about Scarlett and Dylan's relationship had unfairly spilled over onto her. His thoughts and emotions had been a jumbled mess and he didn't know how to react. Although he regretted his actions, he refused to apologise, instead kept his distance to clear his head. He left the house to give himself some space so he could clear his thoughts.His phone rang twice, shattering the peaceful silence. Ethan heaved a deep breath and reached for his phone on the table. His brows furrowed in concern as he stared at the caller ID, hesitating for a moment before deciding whether to answer.“Dad..” He whispered, his eyes narrowing as he cracked his knuckles. Several thoughts whirled

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 152. Jealousy and Demands

    Author's POV ~ Ethan had been distant since his brawl with jasmine. He hadn't returned home for two days and Jasmine was clueless about his location. Her anger boiled over, hopes waning with frustration simmering as the day went by. The house was thick with silence. Suffocating and Stifling. She'd tried dialing his number severally but his phone was switched off, leaving her anxious and concerned. "Beep beep... 'The number you've dialed is currently switched off or unavailable. Please try again later.' The robotic automated voice cut in after several rings, its monotone tone piercing through the line. Jasmine growled in frustration as the message only added to her frustration, leaving her feeling helpless and annoyed. After tossing the phone angrily on the bed, she balled her hands into a fist, her jaw tight with rage. “Where the hell are you, Ethan? It's been fucking two days now. No message, no phone calls and no signs of life, no nothing.. Arrgh!” Jasmine’s voice flared w

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 151. A Polite Refusal

    Scarlett's POV ~The air was tense, thick with sweat, desires and arousal. My eyes were wide as I stared at Dylan, my heart pounding crazily against my ribcage. My emotions were a jumbled mess. I was afraid, terrified, confused, anxious and too nervous to think. The thought of us getting intimate seemed to make me uncomfortable. I didn't want this. I watched as he tossed his belt onto the dresser, the leather strap landing with a soft thud.A lump formed in my throat as he leaned towards me, wanting to claim my lips but to his surprise, I jerked my head to the left, preventing that from happening.“Dylan.” I whispered, my chest rising and falling in rapid succession.His wrinkled forehead smoothed out as he locked eyes with me, eager to hear what I had to say.I was speechless. The only sound is my heartbeat pounding in my ears. Beads of sweat trickled down my spine, my lips quivered as I fumbled for the right words.As he slid his fingers into my hair, he leaned forward, his face a

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 150. Ignoring Boundaries.

    Scarlett's POV~Dylan encircled me with his arms, his cologne wafting through the air and filling my senses with its familiar scent. I stared into his eyes–those deep blue eyes I often admire–drowning myself in the depths of them, but now, they seemed to be filled with nothing but deceit and lust. The realization lingered, knowing he was already taken with his heart and thoughts bound to someone else, even if he was present in this moment with me. The thought of it filled my mind, but I couldn't bring myself to confront him, At least not yet. He ran his fingers on my skin, but I didn't feel any sensation, desire or warmth. They'd all gone a long time ago. I swallowed hard as he brought his fingers to my chest, his eyes fixed on my round perfect tits. My stomach churned and I shuddered as I shifted away slightly, my skin crawling in discomfort as if my body was rebelling against the touch, rejecting the intimacy that once might have felt welcoming.He looked up at me and whispered, h

    Author's POV ~As George's gaze lingered on Scarlett, Dylan felt a growing sense of discomfort. There was something in George's eyes, a spark of mischief that made him uneasy. He didn't trust George, not one bit. The thought of George being around Scarlett, potentially revealing his secret, made his skin crawl."Let's get going," Dylan said abruptly, his tone a little too harsh. "We have a lot to do today, George." He turned to Scarlett, his expression softening. "We should get going too, babe. The kids are going to love these toys."Scarlett nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yeah, let's go. I'm starving. How about we grab some lunch on the way home?"As they bid George a brief goodbye, Dylan couldn't shake off the feeling that George was watching them, his eyes fixed on Scarlett with an intensity that made him squirm. He quickened his pace, ushering Scarlett towards the car, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios.As they walked away, George's voice carried on the wind,

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 148. Maria's guilt

    Author's POV The name landed between them like a stone dropped into still water. Maria’s chest tightened, though she didn’t flinch. She had always known Scarlett was a shadow in Ethan’s life, his ex-wife, the mother of his son, the woman whose history with him could never be erased.He continued, his words tumbling now as though once the dam had cracked he couldn’t stop the flow.“Eric called me earlier. He was excited, talking about how tomorrow Scarlett’s grandmother is going to tell him stories about their family. And you know what? I was glad, actually glad, that he was connecting with that side of his roots. I want that for him. I want him to know where he comes from. I thought, ‘Good. That’s a beautiful thing.’”Maria nodded slowly, her eyes never leaving his face.“But then…” Ethan swallowed hard. His jaw tightened again. “Then I heard Dylan’s voice in the background.”“Dylan?” Maria repeated quietly.“Yeah. Dylan.” His tone was sharp, bitter. “Talking to Scarlett. Sweet. Flir
