Chapter 113
Late at night, Ethan wearily found his way home, the silence enveloping the house in its usual stillness. Carefully shedding his suit and tie, he ventured further inside, where the quiet darkness was abruptly shattered by the sudden flicker of light, revealing Bella.
“Ethan,” she purred, her voice hanging in the air. He, in turn, questioned, “It’s late, why are you still up?”
“I was waiting for you,” she explained, her eyes betraying a hint of longing. Ethan released a sigh and continued toward the foyer, intending to Just ignore her and retreat for the night.
“Ethan, wait,” she called, following him.
“Bella not now, I’m exhausted, I need sleep.” He stated.
She sighed. I’m sorry. I really am” she pleaded.
“How long will we continue like this? I apologize; I didn’t know what came over me,” she said, her misty eyes locking onto his.
“You remember, right? We could have had kids, like that age,” she whispered, closing the distance between them. Her fingers expertly trailed through his neckline, a subtle touch that spoke volumes.
She sighed, resting her head on his chest, creating an innocent yet intimate moment between them.
Ethan inhaled a shaky, heavy breath. Despite the concealed face, Bella’s demeanor

held a small smile.
“I made dinner, all by myself,” she proudly announced, leading the way to the dining hall. There, she switched on the lights, unveiling the carefully set table with a practiced smile that masked her true intentions.
“I know you’re mad. I don’t like how our relationship has been the past few days, weeks rather,” she cun ningly admitted, her eyes feigning sincerity as she awaited a response. Ethan remained silent watching her quietly.
She bit her l*ps. She imagined this might have happened, she had however prepared ahead.
Her hand moved to her wrist delicately, a calculated move to evoke concern.

Ethan’s worry heightened, furrowing his brow as he noticed her wrist was bandaged. “What happened?” he questioned, his genuine concern playing right into her hands.
“Erm, it’s nothing,” she dismissed with a carefully crafted nonchalance.
“I just hurt myself lightly while trying to make food,” she explained.
“It’s too bad I’m weak. I don’t heal fast enough,” she added with a fabricated sad smile, manipulating the situation to garner his sympathy.
“Please, come eat with me,” she implored, stretching her arm out. Ethan, caught in a web of conflicting emotions, hesitated. Despite what had happened, she was still his wife, and the effort she had put into the dinner weighed on him. With a resigned sigh, he made his way to the table, settling into the chair.
She watched him eat and after some minutes she spoke up.
“Ethan,” Bella called, reaching out to hold his hand on the table. “Can we do this more? Have dinner together as we used to?” she pleaded, her eyes filled with anticipation. His gaze was hazy.
“Sure,” he finally answered. She passed him a glass of wine, and he took it, his thoughts still veiled. “So, you’ll come home early from now so we can eat together,” she stated with a hopeful smile, watching him closely. A yawn escaped Ethan, signaling his exhaustion.
He nodded tiredly.
“Goodnight,” he said lightly, giving her a k*ss on top of her head. She smiled, bidding him goodnight as he ascended the stairs, heading to their room. She watched him a small smile creeping it’s way to her face.
Bella sat in the room long after Ethan left. Her mind and thoughts were reeling. She stood after some time, walking around her home, touching the exquisite and expensive furniture with a thoughtful look on her face. That poor omega girl had come a long way, from nothing, and she wasn’t about to go back to being a nob*dy ever again. She swore with tears in her eyes.
Orphaned at an early age, she and her brother were pushed to do certain things she wasn’t proud of. At twelve, she could already pick pockets and steal from people. She had light fingers. Before she turned sixteen, she graduated from that to something else that could earn her even more money; she left her pack completely with her older brother.
