Third-Person POV

Ethan closed his eyes. One memory after another flashed through his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze settled on Vanessa. She had collapsed to the floor, trembling uncontrollably.

She knew that it was over. Clutching Nathan in her arms, she crawled toward Ethan through her tears and reached for him.

"Ethan! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I only did it because I love you! I was jealous of her. She had you for eight years, and I couldn't stand it. I loved you so much it

  • When Forever Was Just a Rebound   Chapter 11

    Third-Person POV"Ethan Thamson, you're a fool!" Vanessa screamed. "The biggest fool I've ever met. I played you from the very beginning, and you fell for every single lie!"Every single word tore through what little restraint Ethan had left. Something inside him snapped. He seized Vanessa and slammed her back against the wall."You took Natalie from me! You took my daughter!"Then, he lost control. By the time Mason and the bodyguards rushed into the room, it was already over.Vanessa lay motionless on the floor. Ethan was on his knees beside her, his clothes stained with blood, his chest heaving as he struggled to catch his breath.Vanessa was dead. Yet, there was no satisfaction on Ethan's face. No relief. No sense of revenge fulfilled.There was nothing.He simply stared ahead with empty, lifeless eyes, as though whatever remained of him had died in that room too.After Vanessa's body was taken away, Ethan went upstairs and stood beneath the shower until every trace of t

    Third-Person POVWith every name Mason added to the list, Ethan's grip tightened around the bottle in his hand.Mason reported, "Altogether, Ms. Coleman accepted more than four million dollars in property, cars, jewelry, and other gifts from those men."We also confirmed that just one week before she came back to you, she was vacationing with Charles Bennett."The reason she came back wasn't that she missed you. She had accumulated massive gambling debts, and the other men she'd been seeing had stopped giving her money.Then Mason lowered his voice. "There's something else. It's about Nathan. We obtained a DNA sample and compared it against the men Vanessa had been involved with. Nathan isn't your biological son. His father is Charles Bennett."The bottle shattered in Ethan's hands. Shards of glass dug into his palm, blood trickling between his fingers. He barely seemed to notice it. Slowly, he raised his head.His eyes were already bloodshot from weeks of drinking, sleepless ni

Ethan let out a bitter laugh. "You call that love? You took my daughter from me. You destroyed the woman I actually loved."When Vanessa tried to cling to him again, Ethan shoved her away. She lost her grip on Nathan in the commotion and screamed, scrambling desperately to protect the baby. "My baby!"Ethan didn't even look at her. He reached for Mason's gun, turned back to Vanessa, and leveled it at her.Vanessa went white with terror."You can't kill me!" she s

  • When Forever Was Just a Rebound   Chapter 8

    Third-Person POVVanessa clutched Nathan to her chest, her face drained of color as she stared at the furious man before her.Ethan's chest rose and fell heavily. Then his gaze settled on the crying baby. And suddenly, he remembered something, something he'd deliberately avoided thinking about for the past month, even as the unanswered questions kept him awake night after night.He pulled out his phone and sent Mason a message. "Find the doctor who took blood from my daughter. Bring him to me."Half an hour later, two bodyguards escorted the doctor, Alex Warren, into the room.The man looked terrified. "M-Mr. Thamson…"Ethan rose and slowly walked toward him. There was something about his silence that made the doctor visibly nervous. Ethan stopped directly in front of him. "Tell me exactly what happened to my daughter."Alex swallowed. "I already explained it. She was a premature newborn. She was extremely frail, and after the blood draw, her condition deteriorated. We tried

    Third-Person POVAfter the call ended, Ethan leaned back against the cold hospital wall and slowly sank to the floor.Eight years of memories came rushing back all at once.He remembered the first time he'd met Natalie, when she'd found him injured and alone beneath an overpass. She'd looked at him with those clear, gentle eyes, filled with concern for a stranger who had nothing to offer her.He remembered the tiny studio apartment they'd shared when neither of them had much.Natalie would awkwardly patch him up whenever he came home hurt, then spend money she could barely afford on the best medicine she could find.He remembered the early days of their relationship, when she'd still blushed at the smallest displays of affection.One night, curled up beside him, she'd whispered shyly, "Ethan, you'd better treat me right from now on."He remembered the days when her cramps were so bad that she'd turn pale, yet she'd still smile when he brought her a heating pad and something war

    Natalie Montgomery's POVThe next moment, I pulled a small knife from my pocket.Vanessa's triumphant expression vanished. She screamed as I lunged at her and drove the knife into her."Vanessa!" Ethan rushed forward and shoved me away from her.I hit the deck hard, and for several seconds, the world spun around me.By the time I managed to focus again, Ethan was already at Vanessa's side, holding her protectively as he shouted for someone to call for help.Then he turned to me, his face twisted with fury. "Natalie! Have you completely lost your mind?"I lay there on the cold deck, watching him cradle another woman as though she were the most precious thing in the world.After everything he'd done, I thought the sight would tear me apart. Instead, something inside me suddenly went quiet.All the anger, grief, and desperate hope I'd carried for so long seemed to disappear at once.I was done.Slowly, I got back to my feet.I looked at the man I'd loved for eight years and ga
