âWe need to talk,â a voice reached out to Ethan as he stepped into the corridor. He turned to find Nathan there.
âI donât think we have any business together,â Ethan replied curtly, his voice had an unhidden tinge of irritation.
Nathanâs expression hardened. âWhy do you keep coming around?â he asked, frustration evident in his tone.
Ethan moved forward, closing the distance between them. âThe only person who I have something with is Hazel and her kids. Youâ¦,â Ethan pointed at Nathan emphasizing his point,
â¦..are a third party,â he stated firmly.
Nathan scoffed in annoyance. âOnly if you knew,â he mumbled under his breath. âwhat names were on the kidsâ birth certificates.â
âWhat did you say?â Ethan asked, having missed Nathanâs mumbled words.
âYou have no idea,â Nathan chuckled lightly, a hint of triumph in his tone. He had sighed that certificate that night as the father of Hazelâs kids, now who had the upper hand? he gloated inwardly.
âIf thatâs all youâve got to say, have a goodnight restâ Ethan stated drily.
Undeterred, Nathan pressed on, irritation lacing his tone.
âWhy do you keep coming around? Even the kids are getting attached to you.â
âWhatâs it to you?â Ethan retorted, his tone challenging, unapologetic for the connections forming between him and Hazelâs children.
âYou have a wife,â Nathan stated bluntly, his frustration simmering.
âOh really, I do?â Ethan feigned surprise, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
âThanks for pointing that out, I didnât realize I was married,â he added, dismissively turning away.
Ethanâs arrogant demeanor grated on Nathanâs nerves. âYou should stop now,â Nathan warned, his tone serious, but Ethan, maintaining his arrogance, continued walking away, unfazed by the manâs warning,
âItâs best you stayed away,â Nathan declared fiercely, his words cutting through the air. Ethan halted, his steps abruptly arrested by the intensity of Nathanâs statement.
âWhat did you say?â Ethan demanded his tone becoming cold as he walked back to here Nathan stood.
âStay away from Hazel and her kids,â Nathan repeated, his tone louder and more resolute this time. The confrontation between the two men had reached a critical point.
âWhat exactly do you want?â Nathan yelled, his frustration clearly seen.
âYou two are divorced, youâre remarried, you have a wife!â He emphasized strongly.
âWhy donât you stay out of what doesnât concern you?â Ethan retorted, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
âIt concerns me,â Nathan stated. Ethan was the one Intruding here.
It was he who had been there from the first day till now, right from the kids birth. Ethan? who was he anyway, this man had come out from nowhere! His only contribution was his sperm!

âYou have history with her; sheâs your ex. Why are you still coming around? Have a little decency and stay away from them, would you?â Nathan stated firinly.
Before someone gets badly hurt.â Nathan finished then walked away.
Someone could get hurt.
That person would be Hazel.
Ethan sighed and stood there for sometime.

The last place he felt like being at the moment was his home. His home now felt like a cold building and he wasnât sure he was willing to see Bella. He might just end up doing something he would regret.
Heading down to his car, he found Axel still standing there waiting for him.
âYou waited?â Ethan questioned, surprised by Axelâs patience.
Axel nodded.
âYou drank,â he stated
âJust sipped a glass,â Ethan replied casually.
Thought you said youâd be too busy driving your girlfriend around to chauffeur me,â Ethan teased, a playful smirk on his
face.
Axelâs eyes widened at the mention of âgirlfriend.â A blush colored his ears as he stammered, âSheâs not my girlfriend.â
âI was right, it was a female that started keeping you occupied,â Ethan declared with a knowing grin.
âShut
up and get in the car, or Iâll leave you here,â Axel threatened, his ears turning an even deeper shade of red.
Ethan chuckled lightly.
Axel had changed significantly, he was a lot moree human now.
He had other purpose other than work. Axel of before, his life only revolved around work. But now he took more personal breaks and excuses for himself. He even came late to work a couple of times.
Moving out for the pack and staying at that apartment was the best thing that had happened to his friend.
âThis girl, she doesnât happen to be that neighbor you mentioned the other time, is she?â Ethan probed with a knowing.
smirk.
Axelâs silence answered the question.
Ethan smiled.
At least, one of his friends was alive and happy.
The car enveloped in a contemplative silence, the two deep in thoughts.
Axel spoke softly, breaking the stillness. âNext week would have been Christopherâs birthday.â
Ethan acknowledged the statement with a solemn âYes,â his mind wandering into memories.
âItâs just us two left, Ethan muttered, a weight of contemplation in his words. Axel understood Ethanâs words.
Their close knit friend group had suffered a huge blow. They had lost Derrick when they were still young boys in their teen. years. A short while afterwards, Axelâs father banished him out of the country sending him to a foreign one. Only Ethan and Christopher had remained.
Ethanâs thoughts lingered on the friends they had lost. âFirst, we lost Derrick,â he sighed, his gaze fixed on the passing night
time scenery. âThen Christopherâs passing came as a huge shock,â he added, his words carrying the weight of memories.
âTake care of yourself, Axel. Youâre the only friend Iâve got left, Ethan stated quietly, a sense of vulnerability seeping into his usually composed demeanor.
Ethanâs contemplation shifted to a suggestion. âWe should meet on that day, have a drink or something.â He gazed at the streetlights, the dim glow illuminating the subtle emotions etched on his face.
âYouâve changed,â Axel remarked. âI mean, youâre becoming sentimental. What happened to you?â he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice at witnessing this unexpected side of Ethan.
It wasnât just this time, but other times as well.
âI should be asking you the same thing.â Ethan replied, a light chuckle escaping him..
âRight, weâve both changed,â Axel concurred.
âDrive to the office,â Ethan ordered with an exhausted sigh. He would not be heading home tonight.
Ethanâs exhaustion took its toll as he closed his eyes for a brief moment, only to find the car pulling into the driveway of his mansion when he opened them again.
âAxel, what is this?â Ethan muttered, his instructions seemingly disregarded.
âI specifically told you to drive to the office,â he reminded Axel.
âGo home, Ethan,â Axel urged, concerned about his friend spending the night in the cold, empty company.
âIf I accidentally murder Bella tonight, would you take responsibility?â Ethan asked darkly with a frown.
âYou wonât,â Nathan replied with a chuckle attempting to lighten the heavy atmosphere.
