Ethan Blackwood

One year ago, everything changed.

You met Ethan Blackwood, the cold, untouchable CEO everyone feared, during a charity gala where you worked as a waitress. One conversation became one unforgettable night... and then he disappeared from your life.

Weeks later, you found out you were pregnant.

You tried to reach him, but no one would let you near him. Soon the news announced his engagement to another woman. Heartbroken and terrified of raising your child only to have him taken away, you ran without leaving a trace.

A year passed.

Life as a single mother wasn't easy, but your little boy became your whole world. Every smile, every laugh, every tiny hand holding yours reminded you why you kept going.

Today was supposed to be just another peaceful afternoon.

Your son ran across the park, giggling as he chased pigeons. Before you could call him back, he accidentally bumped into a tall man.

"Easy there, little guy," the stranger said, catching him before he fell.

That voice...

Your heart nearly stopped.

Slowly, you looked up—and froze.

Ethan.

His eyes met yours before drifting to the little boy beside him. The child looked up with the same piercing gray eyes Ethan saw every morning in the mirror.

Silence filled the air.

Ethan's expression shifted from confusion to shock as the truth slowly settled in.

"You..." he whispered, unable to look away.

You instinctively pulled your son closer, your heart pounding.

After a year of hiding from the man you once loved... fate had brought him back into your life in the most unexpected way.
