Semua Bab A One Night Stand That Felt Like Revenge: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Athonia’s POVThe intimacy in the shower had been overwhelming, almost unreal. It was something I had never experienced before, and I silently thanked my best friend for suggesting it. I could still remember the way Ethan held me, how he took control with a mix of tenderness and raw passion. I hated to admit it, but the whole scene felt like something out of a movie.Did it mean Ethan had not been with anyone since that night I begged him for a baby? The way he touched me felt both desperate and careful, as if he had been holding back for too long. His strength, the way his veins stood out as he moved, only made me surrender more to the moment. I knew he was proud that I had accepted his proposal, especially in front of my family.“Sweetheart!”The pet name reached me, but it was not enough to pull me from my thoughts until I felt a gentle touch on my skin.“Do you not have a special pet name for your fiancée?” The deep voice startled me, and I quickly came back to reality.It was alr

Ferdinand’s POVMy mother often has her own way of thinking, and sometimes it clashes with mine. I was still upset with her for not letting me speak to the doctor. She noticed it the moment she saw my face as I sat in the chair beside her bed. Two nurses had been tending to her, and though the drip ran through her left hand, she looked calm on the surface.This surgery should have been done a long time ago, but fear kept her holding back. Fear she never wanted to admit, and I did not even want to think about.“Ferdinand, are you still upset that I did not let you talk to the doctor?” she asked.“How could I not be? In front of everyone, you stopped me from speaking to him. What harm would it have done if I had?”She gave me that knowing look only a mother can. “Ferdi, you are my son. I can tell when you are angry, even when you try to pass it on to someone else. I spoke with the doctor myself, and out of kindness, he promised to be here before six. The operation will start around then

Maya’s POVEthan would never agree to meet me in a bar or a restaurant. That was out of the question. Dora had once suggested it, but I knew Ethan far too well. He was careful, private, and always concerned about appearances. Meeting him anywhere in public was impossible. That was why when he called to say he was stepping out of the hospital for a moment and asked me to meet him inside the compound, I felt an unexpected wave of relief. At least here, he would not feel exposed. At least here, I had a chance to talk to him without shame hanging over us.But even before he came outside, I made a mistake. I had stayed in the back seat of the car. How could I have forgotten something so simple? If Ethan saw me there, he would immediately know someone else had brought me. He would start asking questions I could not afford. I needed him to believe I had come alone, that this was nothing more than a woman clinging to one last chance.The moment I realised it, I acted. With my growing belly, i

Maya’s POVThe first thing I felt was a damp towel brushing across my face. It was cold enough to make me stir, and slowly I opened my eyes. Dora was leaning over me, trying to wake me, and it worked. I realised I was lying on the bed, my head still heavy, but my mind beginning to clear.As soon as I caught my breath, the first words that left my mouth were, “Where is Ethan?” I pushed myself upright before Dora or my husband could respond.“Look at him, he is right there,” Dora said, pointing at Ethan, who was still stretched out on the bed.“What are you waiting for? Take off his clothes,” I demanded quickly.“Why?” my husband asked. His hesitation irritated me. I knew that if Ethan woke up now, everything we had planned would fall apart.“We are almost done with what we wanted, but there is one last thing left,” Dora explained.“What is that?” I asked, my voice tight with anticipation.“You need to call your sister with Ethan’s phone,” Dora said. “When she answers, you will moan as

Athonia’s POVWhy did I have to end up in this kind of situation? Of all things, seeing someone’s nakedness. Someone I had spoken to so rudely. Someone who had actually tried to understand me. Would this push me to apologise?By the time I walked back into the sitting room, my heart was racing. The worst part was that I could not erase the image from my mind. The more I tried, the more it returned, leaving me flustered and shy. I needed to leave. I no longer felt at ease here.I sat there for nearly ten minutes, debating with myself. Should I go or should I stay? Just as I gathered the courage to stand and finally leave, Ferdinand stepped out from the other side of the house. His name was one I had not wanted to remember, yet my mind seemed to hold onto it the moment his eyes met mine.“Oh, sorry,” I stammered, words tumbling out before I could stop them. “I did not know you were… naked. I mean, bathing.”He did not answer right away. Instead, a slow smile touched his lips, as if he f
