Chapter 108

Cynthia's POV

I looked at my wristwatch, and it was time for school pickup.

There was no way Ethan had sent Anna here knowing fully well that I was going to pick up Amber after school. We'd discussed it this morning. Amber had even told him directly not to send anyone.

Did Ethan do this to spite me?

Well yes, he always enjoyed seeing me miserable, so this wouldn't be new. This was exactly the kind of thing he would do—undermine me, make me feel small, remind me that Anna still had access to his life and his son.

I hopped out of my car and approached the waiting area, my heart pounding with a mixture of anger and anxiety.

I could see them through the glass doors — Amber and Anna standing near the entrance.

Amber had seen Anna, and his expression had shifted immediately. He hadn't sighted me yet, but he was so disappointed to see her. His shoulders had slumped, his earlier excitement completely drained from his posture.

This made my heart melt.

    Chapter 107Cynthia's POV While Nikolai was about to leave after dropping the packages in my trunk, a sudden commotion erupted nearby. A group of student protestors — protesting for something mild, from what I could hear, something about cafeteria hours and library access — rushed up toward the parking lot, completely oblivious to us but still chanting and waving their signs enthusiastically. The unexpected surge of people startled me. I stepped back instinctively, but there were so many of them, moving so quickly... Nikolai's arm came around me, pulling me close to shield me from the crowd rushing past. His other hand braced against my car, creating a protective barrier as students streamed around us on both sides, their voices loud and energetic. When the crowd finally passed and the noise faded, I suddenly became acutely aware of our position. Our bodies were touching. Pressed together, actually. I could smell his perfume—something woody and expensive, distinctly masculine.

    Chapter 106 Cynthia's POV During the class, I was in the middle of explaining the importance of supply chain management in maintaining restaurant quality when I noticed Nikolai. He'd walked in quietly and taken a seat at the back of the lecture hall, his arms crossed, watching me with that intense focus he always seemed to have. Listening to every word like it mattered deeply to him. It was uncomfortable. Not because he was doing anything wrong, but because I could feel his eyes on me, tracking my movements as I gestured at the presentation slides, as I wrote key points on the whiteboard, as I answered students' questions. I tried to ignore him and focus on my students, but my awareness of his presence never quite faded. After the class ended and students began filing out, chattering amongst themselves about their upcoming final projects, Nikolai approached me at the front of the room. "That was excellent," he said, his accent making the compliment sound even more forma

    Chapter 105 Cynthia's POV My heart betrayed me. When Ethan had said that sentence — "I love you" — my heart had leaped like it longed to hear those words. Like some pathetic, desperate part of me had been waiting three years to hear him say them. That was betrayal in the highest order. As I drove away from Walker Mansion, I hit my chest really hard with my fist, trying to stop my heart from fluttering and my stomach from feeling butterflies. At thirty-five, I was easily swayed by words from a man? Jesus Christ! I really needed to grow up. Get it together, Cynthia. He doesn't mean it. He just wants control back. He just wants to win and get you back so he can make you a door mat again and make you apologise to Anna when she plays her evil game. "Your teacher, Mrs. Pierre, was amazing yesterday," I said, trying to distract myself from my traitorous emotions. I watched Amber through the rearview mirror. He was oddly quiet, staring out the window with a contemplat

    Chapter 104 Ethan's POV She looked so beautiful this morning, and then I realized how much more I'd fucked up big time. That was why so many men wanted her in their lives now. Bryan, who'd just declared his intention to pursue her last night. Nikolai Cross, the boy i underestimated was the heir to Cross Energy, who just lost his father and is about to become chairman. Then, there is Kevin Laurent, the annoying F1 racer that had dared show up in the hospital like he was practicing how to be a step dad. And that mystery man with the kid I'd seen her with at the restaurant — someone I still hadn't identified. Those were just the people I knew about. Who else would be after her that I didn't know? How many other men had recognized what I'd been too blind to see? And these men weren't just ordinary men. They were men I couldn't easily compete with. Men of the same caliber as me, or even wealthier, like Nikolai. Successful. Established. Men who hadn't spent eight years

    Chapter 103 Cynthia's POV "Oh my gosh!" I heard the voice from inside the car as soon as my eyes met with Grace's through the window. She was in the back seat, and my worst fear had just materialized right in front of me. I braced myself for the worse, for her hate speech and annoying ridicule, we have not talked in three years and I knew she hadn’t changed a bit. She is not one to become any better, she is just like Anna. Evil and serpentine. Grace stepped out of the car, and I immediately noticed something was off about her movements. "Cynthia! My dearest and latest renowned Michelin chef!" With the way she spoke, her words slightly slurred, her tone overly enthusiastic, I was sure that Grace was drunk. Then Grace started approaching me, staggering slightly with each step. Who in God's name drinks at 7:45 in the morning to stupor? Grace approached with her arms spread wide open, a huge smile plastered across her face that looked almost manic. "My daugh
