"Slow down! You'll trip on the fallen branches!" Jose Hernandez shouted as he ran after Amelia who was running to the villa she was staying at with her husband. She wanted to get a phone so she could contact someone to send a search party. Ignoring the man running after her, she ran as fast as she could with her heart racing erratically. No one would survive such a storm but she had hope. Ethan was alive somewhere. He had to be. She didn't want to lose him. What would she tell Owen who loves his dad very much? Or his parents who only had one son if anything happened to him? She shook her head, refusing to entertain those thoughts as she added more energy into her sprint. Amelia didn't even realize she had cut her bare feet from the branches that lay on the ground after the storm. Finally reaching their vacation villa, she entered and rushed upstairs. Jose followed too, worried what the young lady would do in such a situation. She grabbed Ethan's phone and looked for Josh's c
Ethan felt relieved finally holding Amelia's body in his arms. He had never been scared of death before. But earlier, when the ocean suddenly became violent and a storm occurred, he was terrified of dying and leaving Amelia and his son behind. The fates were really crazy to give him a glimpse of happiness only to have it brutally prematurely removed. Whilst he was paddling on the ocean before the storm, he had suddenly felt cold. It should have been a warning for him to turn back but he pushed the thoughts aside thinking, no way. The sun was high up in the sky so the probability of having a storm was close to zero. Boy was he wrong. It was only after his partner and himself had gone further that the sky suddenly changed and a gust of wind swept through the area. Ethan's heart rate spiked up. He could feel his kayak becoming unstable as the ocean started moving violently, following the sudden storm. "Shit! Don't panic… if we are lucky we will just float away and get lost!" He sh
"There's nothing wrong with the both of you. You're perfectly healthy." The doctor told Amelia and Ethan as they sat across his desk. The couple had gone for a full body check up and a fertility test to check why they were not able to have another child after trying for over a year. Ethan took Amelia's hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Then what could be the reason doctor? My wife hasn't taken up any jobs so far so we can't say she's stressed and my assistant at work has been helping out so I am equally not overworking." He inquired. The doctor sighed, looking at the table of results in his hands. "Everything came out normal. So maybe we can just leave this to fate. If you're meant to have another child, then you will. Otherwise, we didn't find anything wrong with either of you." Ethan nodded in understanding. "Well, thank you Doctor. If anything, we shall see you again." He said and beckoned Amelia to follow him by tugging on her hand lightly. All this while, she sa
Time is fleeting. Two years had passed by in a blink of an eye and the Carter household was celebrating their son's thirteenth birthday. "I'm not wearing that. It's too girly and childish." Owen wrinkled his nose, looking at the blue party cone in Amelia's hands. Amelia's eyes widened, "childish? Boy.. you’re just 13. You are a child and this is what children wear on their birthdays. Look at your friends donning the hat. They look cool." She said, pointing at her friend's children who were toddling around the place. Rita and her husband, Christopher Stevens had come over with their six children. The twins Liam and Leon were now three years and some months old while the quadruplets, Cleo, Claire, Ella, and Emma were one year and some months old. Evelyn and her husband, Jayden Molten also brought their 3 year old daughter Tania to the party. Owen rolled his eyes, "seriously mom? They are like what… 3? You want me to act like these babies? I'm a grown up and should do grown up th
Months later, Amelia was in the studio at CT entertainment. She had gotten back her former manager Natalie and a new producer. Julian Bishop had risen to the top and became an expert in transportation services. Amelia was happy for him. At least he was now doing something he loved to do not because of some woman who couldn't even look at him. "Why are you smiling?" Natalie asked Amelia as soon as she entered the studio. Amelia smiled wider, "just thinking about how things have changed for the better. Julian is doing what he loves and you're also doing well as my manager. I'll miss the times we had, working together but I love that we are all doing what we love." At the mention of Julian, Natalie blushed. "Well… about Julian.. there's.. something I wanted to tell you." She said, hesitantly. Amelia looked at her curiously, "what is it? And why are you blushing?" She asked, raising her brow. "Um.. well… I knew that he loved you. But I had a crush on him… well.. 2 years ago.. w
Five years later Amelia Scott had continued with her music career of which her husband, Ethan Carter was in support of. She was now a very famous celebrity, known for her beautiful love songs that seemed to be dedicated to her billionaire husband. She had just come back from a musical tour and rushed home so that she could surprise her husband who wasn't aware that she was back earlier than anticipated. Pulling up at the mansion she had called home for the last eight years, she smiled to herself, thinking back to when she first went there. At that time, she was indeed attracted to Ethan sexually but she was holding back from accepting her other feelings which were more than attraction. But Ethan pursued her relentlessly until she gave in and it was the best decision of her life. She was happy and content. Getting out of her car, she saw her son's black lamborghini parked at the side and knew he was home or about to go out. Owen had just turned eighteen and Ethan got him the s
Ethan Carter received a call from his mother as he walked through the intercontinental hotel’s golden double door. He groaned internally, having an inkling of what the call was about. “Mom, why are you calling me at this time?” He asked as soon as he picked up. . “Why can’t I call you? It’s not like you have a woman for me to be careful.” Ethan silently groaned, he knew his mother was about to start nagging him about getting married. “Ethan, can mom ask you a question? Please be honest with me.” Ethan heard his mother say. Massaging his temples, Ethan agreed begrudgingly knowing very well the question wouldn’t be good. “Yes mom, what is it?” “Um, son… are you… are you g-g-ga ahem,” Ethan’s mother coughed awkwardly then asked outright. “Are you gay?” Ethan who was heading in the elevator’s direction stopped in his tracks and choked on his own spit. Why would she ask if he was gay? He had never acted that way. Ever. “Mom! Why would you think that?’’ He questioned with a scowl o
A chime on Amelia’s phone got her attention when she just got out of a cab at the entrance of the intercontinental hotel. She unlocked her phone only to find a message from her hook-up whom she was supposed to meet for a date that night. The man was a stranger but she didn’t mind… it would just be one night. [I’m running late, let me find you ready and butt naked. I’ll fuck you so hard that you will ask for another meeting.] Amelia scoffed as she walked to the elevator. She knew she was up for disappointment. Men who bragged were usually the worst in bed with dicks the size of a pencil. On her way to the third floor, she noticed a man in a black tailored suit who had crouched over after the elevator got stuck. Thinking he was claustrophobic, she went over to him to help soothe him. Her breath hitched when she came face to face with the most captivating icy-gray eyes she had ever seen. The man was having a panic attack so she concentrated on trying to calm him and didn’t see his fa
