Chapter 26

Ethan POV

Have tried so much to remember what happened in the past. It's been a week since I last saw or spoke to Raven, I do go over to see her but she is not always there, I am mostly with my son.

It's like my daughter and Raven don’t want to have anything to do with me. I miss my little princess. I miss them so much.

Sam invited me over for a little celebration, another new child has been added to the family, at least this way I can talk to Raven and my daughter.

Have been here for only ten minutes and have noticed I'm not wanted here with the way Amanda had been staring at me. I knew she wouldn’t have allowed me into her home if not for Sam being my friend, what with all the hatred, the glaring and the insult, am still yet to see Raven unless I would have left this place, I don’t like staying in a place where I am not needed

I saw Raven holding the new baby in her arms, she looked like the mother of the child, the way she smiled at the baby, so carefree, ever since I got back I haven’t gotten a real smile from Raven, which makes me think she still harbour hatred in her heart for me, what the hell did I do wrong, immediately she saw me, she stopped smiling.

Hi, what are you doing here, she asked me. Well, Sam invited me, she wants me to be the child’s godfather

What!

Over my dead body will a rapist be my child godfather, Amanda yelled out. Sam what the hell were you thinking, I rather your friend Phillip who is a playboy be the godfather than this rapist, she said with so much disgust

Did I hear her right, did she just call me a rapist, I couldn’t stand the way everyone was staring at me I rushed down only for me to trip down the stairs then I got a flashback of me raping Raven and then it changed to the scene of me being tortured by a gay, he kept screaming I killed her, everything went dark, I think I fainted

I woke up and found myself on the bed, where am I, what is all the yelling about, why is everyone here? I tried to stand up but my brother stopped me.

You need to lay down son, you hit your head pretty bad, we all thought you wouldn’t wake up

What do you mean, you’ve been asleep for a week dear, thank God you are alive, I saw everyone staring at me with so much relief, I looked at all of them and to Raven, can I talk to you, alone, I looked at everyone.

Right, we got it, we will leave you guys to talk

Mom, are you sure you will be okay being alone with him? Blue asked. I will not hurt your mother princess don’t worry

Don’t call me that, she walked away

I remember everything. Everything? Like the past and all the stuff that happened between us? He nodded, it came back after I hit my head and I remember the accident. They paid the doctor and nurses to make everything look real. Raven, the man that did all this, is not a man to mess with but what I can’t figure out is why he kept saying I killed her. Killed who? His daughter.

Did you kill anyone, I mean I know what he is capable of, I won’t be surprised if he killed an innocent person

I didn’t kill her Raven, trust me on this.

Trust you?

You seem to forget where that trust led me too, I can’t trust or believe the shit you just said.

No Raven, you need to trust me on this, I didn’t kill her

Is this what you called me in here for, to tell me this?

Yes, and to ask for forgiveness

Well you don’t even know what you are feeling guilty of or asking for forgiveness for

I know dear, he tried to grab my hand

Don’t even think of touching me and am not your dear

Raven, what I did to you was wrong, I am so ashamed of myself, I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me, so we can move on with how we were.

I scoffed, don’t tell me you think I will get back to you even if I do forgive you Ethan, everything ended the day

you slapped me

But Raven, I love you

Love, do you even know what love is, with your bullshit apology you are saying right now, you are so prideful, just get this straight Ethan, me and you are done.

If we are done, why haven’t you moved on, why didn’t you get married?

You are so arrogant, you think the world revolves around you, you know I met your ex-girlfriend, the one you said cheated on you

She warned me about you, at first I thought she wanted to get back to you but she told me how you hit her, how angry you get over silly issues, which by the way is the truth.

I didn’t get married because I thought about it so hard, I mean I have two beautiful kids, am fucking independent, why should I bring a man into my home that is perfect to me, I mean the last man I let in almost destroyed me what if the next one does the same or worst.

What do I even need from men when I have everything I ever wanted except for a man in my life but that doesn’t matter, what matters is that I am happy, when I die I can say I lived a fulfilled life.

So don’t think because of you, you are worthless to me, you are so before I could complete my sentence Sam ran in looking pale,

what happened?

Raven, he took the baby

Who? Who took the baby?

Amanda’s ex-husband

What is it with all the ex coming back into our lives to try and disturb our peaceful mind, first it was Ethan that

came back from the dead now its Mateo, that was in prison for abducting

We need you Raven, please can you help?
