The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

Ethan stayed at the office until nearly eight o’clock in the night, poring over files, answering emails, and filling things.

He realised he was avoiding going home.

He had deeply engrossed himself in his work just to forget Irish.

But could she really do that to him?

He’s still finding it hard to believe even though it seems real.

Irish had left him… for Morgan.

Why?

Because of some stupid revenge?

He never knew her to be someone like that, could it be that she changed overnight.

He really missed her and his heart ache for her every seconds, he’s trying to hate her for what she did to him but he just couldn’t.

She kept coming to his head even while he was working.

How could she hurt him this much.

What he’s feeling now is beyond heartbreak.

The two women he loved in his life had been robbed off him by the same man! His adopted brother!

And he couldn’t do anything than just sit and nurse his heartbreak.

Well… what could he have done?

Nothing, because the ladies chose to be with him.

They chose Morgan over him.

Do women like deceptive, tricky, evil, unfavorable and unpleasant men??

Cause he just doesn’t seem to understand why Morgan keeps getting chosen.

She had said she doesn’t even care if the baby was his.

That simply means, even if she’s not pregnant, she’s still going for Morgan. And had she said she will adopt the baby because she wanted to stay with Morgan?

Why does he keep hoping she’ll be back to him.

He had hoped Catherine will be back to him but she remained with Morgan for years.

He shut his laptop, grabbed his jacket and strode out of the door.

Javad and Robbins followed him immediately.

There were just few staff left in the company.

Robbins and Javad hadn’t disturbed Ethan cause they knew how troubled and heartbroken he is.

His driver got his car ready when he saw him approaching and the car door was opened for him, he got in and picked the laptop that’s meant for the car alone.

He opened it and switched it on.

He needed something to divert his thoughts to, he can’t just keep thinking of Irish when she’s in a man’s house.

The same man that had taken his first wife from him.

Though he hadn’t been this hurt during Cartherine’s own.

But he had put so much trust into Irish.

“Mr Ethan, your phone is ringing” Robbins tapped Ethan who seems to have dwelled in his own thought.

“Ohh.. fuck!” Ethan swore, he hadn’t even heard his phone ring.

Robbins passed it to him.

It was his Mum.

“Where are you?” Her tiny stern voice filled his ear.

“I’m not seventeen any longer Mum.

“I know, i only want to be sure you’re not somewhere drinking or thinking of committing suicide. “C’mon, i wouldn’t do that.

“I just want you to know that we your family would never leave you, any other person can but we’ll always be here for you. I love you my baby boy” Mrs Harlow said and Ethan was close to tears by the time she was done.

He couldn’t speak, he only tried not to cry.

“You know what? Just get married to me, I’m never gonna leave you, you don’t have to propose, i said yes! already” Mrs Harlow said and Ethan bursted out laughing.

Drops of tears fell from his eyes and he quickly wiped them off.

“Thanks Mum. I love you so much.

“I love you more son.

“I’ll be home soon.

“Alright, Bye.

He dropped his phone and sighed softly.

His mum just lifted his spirit, he felt good.

He closed his laptop and passed it to Robbins.

“Mum” Ethan hugged Mrs Harlow tightly as he walked into the living room.

She was waiting for him after putting Arin to bed.

She kissed him on both cheeks and led him to the dining room.

This is one of the few times him Mum dishes out meal for him.

Almost all the workers were asleep.

Ethan ate hungrily and he was almost done with the portion Mrs Harlow dished for him, she dished more for him.

She know he probably sat in his office working and ate nothing all day.

“Please my bodyguards and driver needs to eat too” Ethan said and Mrs Harlow nodded…

She called on a maid to take their meal to them and watched Ethan eat.

“How’s Arin?” He asked.

“She’s asleep already and she waited to see you home but i guess she couldn’t wait any longer”

Mrs Harlow said and Ethan nodded.

“How’s Jessica too?” He asked.

He doesn’t see much of her these days.

“She said she’s going to see you tomorrow morning”

“Okay”

“Do you want more?” Mrs Harlow asked and he shook his head.

“I’m fine” He said, lifting the glass cup of his favorite wine to his lips.

“How was work?” Mrs Helen asked.

“Great. I was able to cover the things I’ve missed, though my employees weren’t expecting me that soon, you know i told Javad to inform my companies that i won’t be around for a while” “Ohh… yeah” Mrs Harlow nodded.

Ethan moved on to desert and she watched him interestingly.

She has always been proud to have such a good-looking and goal driven son.

She wonder which lady in her right sense would actually leave him for Morgan.

Ethan’s looks alone could make one drool, he’s a top notch business man,

hardworking, incredibly wealthy! Companies could kill to partner with Ethan.

She couldn’t even count the amount of classy women that had made friends with her because they wanted Ethan for their daughters.

“Hmm… are you really serious about making me your husband?” Ethan teased, seeing the admiration in his mother’s eyes as she gazed at him.

“Of course, i already said yes on the phone” Mrs Harlow winked, waving her wedding ring in his face.

“My husband is going to kill you” She added with a smile and he laughed.

“I know right”

“You should go to bed Mum” Ethan said.

“Once you’re done” Mrs Harlow said.

“I bet Dad is waiting for you already” Ethan said.

“He is, I’m glad some movies kept him busy or he would have come get me”

“Ohh… i was wondering why he hasn’t come to get you”

“Arrrgh, I’m so full” Ethan sighed.

“You tend to eat more when i serve you” Mrs Harlow noted proudly.

“Ohh… your husband wants you already” Ethan said, seeing Mr Harlow’s personal bodyguard approach the dining room.

“Hello Mr Ethan” He greeted.

“Hi James” Ethan said.

“Ma’am, Mr Harlow wa..”

“I’ll be right there” Mrs Harlow cut him short.

“Alright ma’am” he turned and walked away.

“I’m also done eating” Ethan stood up and stretched.

He hadn’t even freshened up before having dinner.

They both walked up the stairs and he kissed his Mum goodnight when they got to the door of her room.

He walked into Arin’s room after that and gently stroke her hair, he covered her properly with her blanket and kissed her on her cheek.

He smiled as she stirred.

“Sleeping beauty, sweet dreams” He said before walking out of her room, he had tried not to glance at the adjoining door connecting Arin’s room to Irish’s.

He doesn’t want to think about her anymore, he wants to have a good night sleep and go to work tomorrow morning like nothing has happened.

He dropped his jacket on the couch in his room, pulled his shoes, loosened the buttons of his shirt before walking into the bathroom.

He fell straight into bed after freshening up and changing into his pajamas.
