Book:Falling For My Brother Published:2024-5-1

“Haden, we really can’t go on.”
Haden’pov
At that moment, the great powerlessness of not being able to escape my fate suddenly hit me, and I suddenly realized that I was begging for her humility.
The child suddenly burst into tears.
I embraced him, “Good boy, no more crying.”
I held my son tightly in my arms. Holding him as if my life is depended on him.
His eyes were closed and the stabbing pain in his heart made it hard for him to breathe. Closing my eyes tightly and holding back the tears that is going to flow in my face.
“Daddy.”
A shout from my son finally brought me back to my senses, and I looked down to see the little guy staring at my face, seeing his eyes making me feel being loved by him even without his mother.
Then I noticed he was bursting into tears. He felt what I felt, knowing that his mother will really leave him behind now.
I looked up at Elena, who was standing with her back on me. 
I could not give her up yet, but she is persistent to leave. I don’t know what to do anymore especially that we have Eaden in our lives. But what could I do? I even used Eaden to hold her back. But it didn’t work. She really is eager to leave me, in expense of our Son.
I give up, I cannot do anything anymore. I handed her a copy of our divorce papers. 
Elena’s view
I looked at the agreement and was surprised. The divorce agreement said that I would have half of all the properties he acquired during our span of marriage. And I am free to our son whenever I wanted. I felt a little guilt because he still gives me right to his properties that aren’t mine and he is willing to give time for me to see our child whenever I want.
I glanced face.
“Haden, I’m not going to take any of your properties.” I said as I pulled out a copy of the divorce papers.
“Please sign this version.”
I gave Haden a I different version of document and didn’t even look at the divorce agreement. He didn’t think twice nor, have a second thought, instead He put out a pen, printed his name then he finally signed it. At last, I’m free. After he signed it took the divorce agreement and left without looking back. Though my heart will always seek for my child, Eaden , I couldn’t do anything. After I am able, I will come back for Eaden.
We were officially divorced.
I didn’t want Sara and mama Sirena hear about our divorce. I know that will strongly disagree, so to avoid more complications and dramas, I rented a house for me.
Being alone made me lonely, it made me miss my son dearly.
Whenever I thought of his sweet little face, and his big eyes looking at me, calling me if he needs me, my heart is being stabbed with pain. I already missed him. I am so so lonely.
After sometime. Finally, I couldn’t help myself and called Sara.
“Sara, can you do me a favor ….”
We planned a date at a mall. I prepared myself on whatever may happen later.
I was an hour early.
I don’t know if Eaden has grown a bit, I don’t know if he can sleep these days without mom there to snuggle.
I don’t know if he recognizes me as his mom anymore after not seeing me for the time being.
I sat nervously in a seat, my eyes fixated on the elevator by the door.
Finally, I saw a familiar figure.
Sara was holding my Eadens hands, I rushed over and picked up Eaden, kissing his face, his forehead, his nose.
“Sweetie, sweetie, mommy loves you, mommy misses you, mommy doesn’t want to leave you, mommy just can’t take you away from your daddy.” I couldn’t help myself from kissing and hugging him.
I stroked his cheeks, kept saying I loved him, kissed his forehead, his little feet, his little hands.
Eaden looked like he was enjoying himself. Smiling, he looked at me with his little hands, “Mommy.”
The stone fell from my heart as if I had eaten honey. For so long that he hasn’t seen me it surprised me that he still remembers me as his mother. It was very heart whelming knowing that he doesn’t forget about me at all. I want to spend my time with my child today and to treasure every moment that we have.
I went with him to play in the children’s castle. I followed him every step of the way, afraid that he would disappear from my sight. 
The day went by very quickly. But I know that we had fun together and will surely remember all the things that we’ve done today.  I dropped Eaden off at Haden’s and watched Sara carry him out the door.
Suddenly, I got a call from the director.
“Elena, get ready, our drama is about to be released. 
Hadens Pov
When I got home today, Eaden kept crying. I don’t know what’s wrong with him today, I just got off from work and this is stressing me. I do things to make him stop crying but he keep on crying and crying.
I played with him with his favorite toy and took him to my neck, but he still cried. I don’t know what to do anymore. It’s frustrating me. 
He cried even more than usual, like he was about to break.
“Eaden, why are you crying, tell daddy, is someone bothering you? tell me.”
“Mommy, mommy.”
Eaden kept calling out ” Mommy,” my heart went cold. After all this time my child still wants his mother to be with him. I don’t know what to think or to do anymore. She’s the one who pursues our divorce and the least I could do now is to wait for her to come back to us whenever she wants. But I couldn’t say that my heart will keep the grip, my heart for sure will get tired of waiting. I don’t know when but I am certain. No one never gets tired, so do I.
Ellen’s POV
It was my first TV show and the second time that I was the female lead in a show. This is the first step on making my way to this showbiz world.
The premiere of the TV series was held in the most luxurious crown hotel, with the auditorium on the seventh floor.
I drew my makeup in advance. Choose what I need to dress up on this kind of event.
 I went to the venue, showed my invitation, and entered the first row of seats. Walking with glance yet a humble look is still showing on my face. Roaming my eyes around this hall I accidentally glanced at the seat next to Haden,
I deliberately ducked to the far right of the second row. I don’t want to see him right now. I’m not yet ready to cross paths with him.
Haden came to his seat and froze for a moment when he saw that the seat next to him was empty. 
Then he sat down and kept looking around.
I ducked my head and avoided his gaze. I really didn’t want him to see me here. I can’t stand his eys whenever he stares at me.
Haden brought his assistant over to say something.
After a while the host called Haden.
With a round of applause, Haden stood in the center of the stage.
He was well-dressed and in good spirits, and won a cheer from the audience He’s standing proudly, untamed and you can see the authority in his aura.
I looked at the man in front of me and my heart was full of scars.
The man who is now standing in the spotlight, calm and confident, is like two people. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re looking at.
We are indeed not in the same world. That’s the reason why I don’t want to fall in love with him even we have a child already and we’ve been together for so long. He was above and it’s very far to reach by a just woman like me.
Haden was followed by a woman with short shoulder-length hair, wearing a white suit and a pair of black wide-legged pants underneath, looking competent and stylish.
Haden introduced the producer on stage.
