Chapter 2
(Ana's POV)
After the news of Ethan's Sister I called Mark and he told me not to give a damn about them. They are happy, good for them but don't let them bother you. And I think he's right. I have a life of my own now. My children and an enormous business to handle. I can't let them bother me....
After taking a bath I went upstairs to wake my cute little monsters. They are the light of my life.
"Hey kiddos rise n shine!!" "Wake
Up my cute little monsters!!!"
That got Chris's attention. "Hey maa I'm not cute Julie is cute. I'm charming." he mumbled sleepily
"Okay Mr. Charming time to wake up other wise mama's gonna start the famous tickling!"
At the mention of tickling all of them started mumbling cute little threats...
"Go get ready for school I have a very important meeting at 9 o'clock I'm waiting downstairs. Come on kiddos now shhhuuu"
After breakfast I dropped them at school and headed towards my office.
On my arrival everyone greeted me my secretary Jasmine gave me my schedule.
"Ma'am there's a problem" My secretary Jasmine said.
"Problem about what Jasmine??"
"It's related to Mr. Jared's project. He has said that he wants to reschedule the meeting"
"Okay so when is he available" I asked.
That was not a big deal.
"He said that he will be available tomorrow if you can arrange this meet he will be very thankful."
Shit! Tomorrow's Sunday. . .
"Okay inform him that I'm available."
God Not again!! Those little monsters are going to kill me.. I was supposed to go on shopping with them. I'm screwed...
Royally Screwed....
After work I headed towards a cafe and ordered a chocolate cake and then headed towards home..
Joe and Matt greeted me they are my monsters bodyguards. I told them to take there leave. Yeah they need bodyguards. You know when people says that looks could be deceiving they are definitely right.. After the incident in which my cute kiddos almost burnt the whole house in an attempt of cooking pancakes and lets not forget about the car incident in which they were trying to blast my car in an attempt of coping the Mission Impossible scene and there is a never ending list of their crimes. Mark suggested that I should appoint bodyguards and a nanny for them. So here we are with two bodyguards and a nanny in our life.
I entered home and was immediately greeted by small hands hugging my legs.
"Mom we missed you." Julie whined.
"I missed you too sweetheart."
"Mommy what's in your hand?" Jack asked with an innocent smile. He just can't help himself he's a food addict. He eats like a grown-up. He can smell food from a mile.
"It's a cake sweetie."
"And why did you bought cake maa. I don't remember any special occasion" Yeah busted. . .
I don't know what I'm going to do with that smart mouth and Sharp mind of Chris.
"Actually kiddo there's m...mm..
.. . a little change in tomorrow's plan…"
"Okay continue!" This time it was Julie. I don't know why I was feeling like a thief who's caught red handed.
"Sorry kiddos I can't go to shopping tomorrow I have a meeting." I said nervously.
"No mommy you know the rules Sunday's are for family you can't cancel!" Jack whined.
"I'm sorry sweetie but if it helps than I promise that I'll take you all to Disney land."
So that go their attention. I can literally see the wheels running in there little heads. After a small heated group discussion they agreed greedily....
"So off to bed tomorrow Matt, Joe and your nanny Sofia will be going with you for shopping."
"But what about my cake!" Jack pouted. I'm telling you he's obsessed.
After eating cake I tucked them in bed and headed towards my study.

(Ethan's POV)
I f*****g knew it was a bad decision but what's done is done. After the exhausting flight from New York to Paris here I am, having a long lecture from my mom about socializing and settling in life, starting a family of my own bla bla bla.....
"So Ethan tomorrow we're going for shopping and lunch and you and Mathew are going with us. You know we're going to have a lot of fun." Mom said with excitement.
Yippee fun!! Whom I'm kidding . I knew coming to Paris was a bad idea. I f*****g knew it!
"Uncle you are really coming with us I'm really excited!!" Mathew's daughter said. She's really an angle. Sometimes I think if eight years ago all that didn't happened than maybe today I was also a father of a child or maybe a whole cricket team. But it's all a moot point. We can't change what happened. I excused myself from them and headed towards the balcony we're staying at a house that my family own in Paris... It was the same house where Ana and I spend our honey moon. She was obsessed with Paris and Disneyland. Everything here was an annoying reminder of a happy life that I once lived.
"Still thinking about her..?" Kat said from behind. Kat is Mathew's wife and Ana's bestie or you can say ex-Bestie.
"You know despite of all the evidence against her I still believe that she was innocent" I didn't bother to argue with her because deep down I still have faith in Ana's innocence. But I can't let my heart win over my mind. My anger towards her is enough to crush the little hopes of my heart.
I'm everything a girl could wish for but my darling wife choose someone else over me.
"Eight years Ethan we don't even know where she is. You know I haired many detectives to find her, she was last seen in a hospital. The doctor said she was having a nervous break down."
I was shocked from the news. Ana was a strong women she was not a type of person to have a nervous break down. But I didn't bother to respond to Kat.
"I know you still love her." That enough!!
"You know Kat I don't love that w***e and I don't give a s**t about her well-being. Out of all the men she chose to f**k my brother-in-law. How can you just forget what happened that day. You know stop making pathetic excuses for her, she's not worth it." I snapped.
"Mark my words Ethan one day you will regret your words, you'll regret humiliating her in front of everyone. Eight years back, I didn't took a stand for her.. The look of betrayal that she gave me won't let me sleep peacefully. How can you not feel shame for what we all did to her! You know I thought you loved her but guess what she was right you're just like her father but remember, she told you that she's not like her mother. Good night and sorry for wasting your time Mr. Ethan."
I was shocked from Kat's behavior she was always a shy and calm girl she never raised her voice on a signal person. What if she's right? What if Ana was innocent?? But all the evidence.... I dismissed all these thought and headed towards bar.
