All Chapters of One Night, Two Dads : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ethan's POV I sat there, my eyes fixed on Victoria's face as she continued to rant about Elena. Her words were like a never-ending stream, each one a tiny dagger aimed straight at my ex-wife's heart. I was tired of listening to her, tired of the venom and the malice that spewed from her lips like poison."Elena is a manipulator, Ethan," Victoria said, her voice rising in indignation. "She's been playing you from the very beginning. She doesn't care about anyone but herself. Look at her now, pregnant and alone, and she doesn't even know who the father is." Victoria's eyes flashed with anger, her face twisted in a scowl.I felt a surge of doubt, my mind racing with questions. Was Elena really as loyal as I thought she was? Had she been honest with me about her past, about her feelings? I thought back to our marriage, to the fights and the arguments, to the times when Elena had hurt me with her words and her actions. And I realized that I had always doubted her loyalty, that I had alway

Ethan's POVI lay there, lost in thought, the sound of the waves washing over me. I was so caught up in my own world that I didn't even notice when my phone rang. It wasn't until it rang for the third time that I finally stirred, reaching into my pocket to pull it out.I glanced at the screen, my heart sinking when I saw Peter's name flashing on the screen. I wasn't really in the mood to talk, but I knew Peter wouldn't leave me alone until I answered. I sighed, swiping my thumb across the screen to answer the call."Hey, man," Peter said, his voice booming through the phone. "What's going on? You've been MIA for days."I closed my eyes, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me. "I'm not fine, Peter," I said, my voice flat. "I'm in some real deep shit."There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, I wondered if Peter had hung up on me. But then his voice came back on, his tone serious. "What's going on, Ethan? You can tell me."I sighed, rubbing my temples. I coul

Ethan's POVAs the sun dipped below the horizon, Peter and I decided it was time to head back home. We weren't really watching the sunset anymore, our minds preoccupied with our respective problems."Let's grab dinner first," Peter suggested, standing up and brushing off his pants.I nodded, and we walked to a nearby restaurant. As we sat down at a table, I couldn't help but start thinking about Elena and the situation with the baby.Peter seemed to sense my distraction. "Hey, let's not think about that right now," he said. "Let's just forget about it for tonight."I nodded, trying to push the thoughts out of my mind. But then I remembered something else. "Peter, do you know that Victoria is back?" I asked.Peter's expression turned blank. "Who's Victoria?" he asked.I raised an eyebrow. "You don't remember? My ex, Victoria."Peter's face lit up with recognition. "Oh, your ex! So, Ethan, your ex is back?"I nodded, feeling a mix of emotions. "Yeah, she's back. And to be honest, it's g

Elena's POV Daniel's deep voice broke the silence, "Can I come in?" he asked, his eyes locked onto mine. I felt a flutter in my chest, but I pushed aside my reservations and nodded, trying to sound casual. "For sure, yeah, for sure," I said, stepping aside to let him in. Daniel's tall frame filled the doorway, and I felt a shiver run down my spine as he passed by me. I closed the door behind him, trying to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of my stomach. But before I could turn back to him, I heard Mia's voice ringing out from the couch. "Hey, Elena, I'm so sorry, but I have to go," Mia said, scrambling to her feet. I turned to her, surprised by her sudden departure. "What's wrong?" I asked, feeling a pang of concern. Mia's face was lit up with excitement. "My sister just got back from her trip to Paris, and guess what? She's engaged!" Mia squealed, barely containing her enthusiasm. I couldn't help but smile at her infectious energy. "That's amazing, Mia

Elena's POV Daniel's eyes scanned my face, his expression soft with concern. "Do you need anything, Elena?" he asked, his voice gentle. "I want to make sure you're taken care of." I shook my head, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him. "No, I'm fine, thanks," I said, smiling weakly. Daniel nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. "When are you resuming work?" he asked, his tone thoughtful. I shrugged, feeling a pang of uncertainty. "I'm not sure yet," I admitted. "I need to talk to my boss and figure some things out." Daniel nodded again, his expression understanding. "Well, just make sure you take care of yourself, okay?" he said. "I don't want you pushing yourself too hard, whether the baby is mine or not." His words touched my heart, and I felt a lump form in my throat. "I appreciate that, Daniel," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Daniel's expression turned serious, his eyes burning with intensity. "I don't want you to have to go through anything traumatic, Elena," he s
