Chapter 108

Ethan exited the car, weariness etched across his face. The mansion, stood tall, proud and erily silent.

He walked through the door then foyer heading for his bedroom.

He found Bella sitting there in the dimly lit room. It seemed she had been waiting for him.

Her eyes looked up expectantly when she heard him walk in.

When he looked at her, her eyes were wet with tears and misty like she had been crying for a long time.

Choosing to ignore her he headed to the dress room.

“Ethan,” her voice called after him.

Seated as he removed his shoes, he felt the weight of her gaze, a presence that clung to the air.

“I’m sorry. What I did was wrong. I didn’t realize what I was doing. I swear, maybe it’s because I never had a chance to have one,” she confessed,her voice cracking lightly.

“What were you thinking Bella?” He asked.

“I’m Sorry I wasn’t. I really hurt those little kids, are they okay did I badly hurt them?” She asked feigning concern. She was acting remorseful so Ethan wouldn’t give her the cold shoulder.

To her surprise however, Ethan stood abruptly.

“You should sleep in the guest room,” his tone carried a finality that brooked no argument.

The guest room?!

“Ethan!,” she implored, desperation evident in the grasp of her hand on his arm, her eyes misting

Why was he this angry?

“Let go, Bella,” he demanded through gritted teeth. “I don’t want to talk about this right now, so I don’t do something I’ll regret,” he asserted, his resolve unwavering.

“I can’t explain it, but when I saw those kids, I just got so angry. Ours would have been around that age by now,” she confessed, a deliberate reopening of wounds to see if it would get him to mellow down a little.

A defeated sigh escaped Ethan as waves of rage and anger surged within him.

I’ll sleep in the guest room,” he declared with finality, leaving the room without a backward glance. Left alone, Bella sank into a chair, “Why’s he overreacting? It’s not like they’re his kids,” she fumed silently.

She was at the loosing end here!

Her limited edition dress had been ruined! While she had only disciplined those kids without even asking them or their miserable father to pay for it. Now Ethan was furious after seeing what she did.
