Ethan

I drove to the hospital as quickly as I could. When I arrived, the doctors were already attending to him. According to them, he was brought in just in time, any delay, and things could have been much worse. It's a relief few of the security guards were with him.

I was in the doctor’s office, waiting for him to return from my father’s room when my phone chirped. Glancing at the screen, I saw Emily’s name.

"Hey, I just left a few minutes ago. Aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting?" I asked. It hadn’t been long since I left the office, and I knew she had a full schedule.

"I handled my client quickly; we were on the same page, so it didn’t even take ten minutes. But that’s not why I’m calling. How’s Father? Has he woken up?"

"Not yet." I replied. "He was brought to the hospital just in time. The doctors and nurses are with him now, and I’m waiting here for an update."

"Don’t you think you should be by his bedside?" She asked, sounding worried.

"Relax, sweetheart. Your father is fin

    "Let's watch television." I announced as I walked inside. I grabbed the remote and turned on the screen. Immediately, Emily's face appeared, relaxed on a couch with a drink placed in front of her. When did she decide to have an interview? What’s going on?"Did she discuss this with you?" Mother asked."If she did, you would have found out when we spoke. She called earlier before I came to Father's room, but she didn’t mention anything about an interview."There are three media companies in the country that carry exclusive news, and this is one of them. The one that released the rumor about Mother is the third company."Her schedule today is tight. Isn't she meeting with them?" Father asked."I don’t know how she did it, but…" I trailed off, watching intently as she began to speak."I'm not here to defend my mother's name, and I won't even try. If there’s a rumor about someone, there should be proof" she said, speaking fluently and confidently."What are you getting at, Ms. Fernandez?"

    RyanI turned off my screen after the interview ended. Where did she get the boldness to threaten them? They are the third-largest media company in the country. It won’t be easy to make the manager apologize to her mother for the accusations. If they do, they will deserve it, why accuse her of something she didn’t do?I think I would do the same if I were in her shoes. Accusing my mother of murder would be going too far. Fernandez's wife died in a car accident, which I’m sure happened before they even met. But suddenly, after all these years, she’s accused of being the murderer? Fascinating. She didn't just die of from the accident, she was drunk while driving. The police had to cover the part about her being drunk."What was that about? Did she have to tell them she’s moved on without me?" I mumbled, thinking it was unnecessary."If she hadn’t told them that, there might have been rumors about the two of you getting back together.""Of course I will get her back. I don’t care what it

    I instructed Jasper to get some KFC chicken and drinks from the restaurant. Let’s take it to him and see if he will eat. He’s been acting stubborn, thinking he’s clever enough to make a deal with me. I need to find out what he knows, who sent him to crash into my car, and whether the gunshot incident is connected to Anderson.If it’s not, then I have one other person in mind. Threatening someone without facing them directly, only a fool would do that. I'm done running or trying to stay distant from her. The closer I get, the more likely he will reveal himself.Emily also mentioned someone following her, but I couldn’t ask her for details because I had to rush off to help my sister. If this has been happening since before we married, then either I was the target from the start, or she was and that made me an enemy to whoever’s after her.The big question on my mind is, did she have someone in her life before she started working for me? This could be connected to her ex-boyfriend, which

    EmilyIt's been two hours since my interview, and I'm expecting them to apologize for the accusations. I know they won’t have any proof, so it’s better if they come out and apologize before I take matters into my hands. But if they want to drag this out, I’m ready to see it through—even if it means ruining the company.I ascended the stairs, making my way to the lawyer's office. Upon reaching his door, I knocked and pushed it open."Ms. Fernandez, you are welcome. Please, have a seat." The lawyer said, gesturing toward the couch."Thank you." I sat down, crossing my legs. "You must have seen the interview I had. I want to file a complaint against them.""You mentioned waiting four hours. Let’s give them that time. If they don’t apologize, I will proceed.""Very well, then. What about Adams? Is he still in police custody?" I asked."Yes, but he will be granted bail later today. His father spoke to the sheriff, and they will release him, but he will have to appear in court."Even though

    As soon as she walked away from her desk, I quickly got to work. I made my way to Anderson's office and reached for his laptop. Everything happening in the CCTV room was accessible from his office. I set up the necessary connections and sent them to Ethan, so he could start working from his end.I kept my ears open, listening for her footsteps, while waiting for Ethan to complete his part before I proceeded.Just as I was about to grab my phone from my bag, I heard her footsteps returning. I quickly hurried back to the couch, crossed my legs, and pretended I have been waiting patiently for her."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting; I had to get some ice." She apologized. Not that I minded, I would have preferred she stayed out even longer, so I could finish."It's okay, thank you." I replied, taking the cup from her. I took a sip, then set it on the table. "I will wait for another five minutes. If he doesn’t show up, I’m leaving.""Alright, I will give him a call. I’ll be right back."

    "I had such a great time with you. It’s truly a pleasure meeting you, and I can see why your father chose you for this role." The elderly gentleman complimented, his voice warm."Thank you so much, sir. I appreciate it." I extended my hand for a handshake, which he accepted without hesitation. "I will have the contract sent over as soon as I return to the office.""You are most welcome. Let me walk you to your car." He offered, surprising me. Usually, I would be the one to see someone off."Alright, this way." I said, gesturing toward the door. We walked together through the restaurant. Out of habit, I glanced over to where I had last seen Adams, but the table was empty—he was gone.Outside, I accompanied my guest to his car and held the door open as he settled in."Have a safe flight. One day, I will come visit you in India." I said with a warm smile."Oh, that would be wonderful! Just let me know when you are coming, so I can prepare properly." He replied, his tone distinctly cheerf

    Father had been discharged from the hospital earlier when we arrived. The doctor assured us it was nothing serious and that he would recover well at home. I decided to stay back with him, but Ethan had to leave for an errand he didn't mention. Initially, I planned to wait for a client at the hospital, but my secretary called to let me know he wouldn’t be able to make it. Father changed into his clothes, and we supported him as we walked out of the room. Thankfully, the media hadn’t caught wind of the situation, so there was no scandal to publish about Mother’s incident causing his collapse. As we reached the stairs, Father suddenly stopped. "Is something wrong?” Mother asked, making us pause as well. “I can manage on my own." He said, straightening. "I would rather not draw attention. People might assume I’m unwell.” He was right, if we looked too attentive, people would certainly suspect something was wrong. But if we walked out as a group, they might just assume we were visiting

    "What do you think about going to India for Christmas?" I asked my father, setting a glass of water on his stool."India?" My mother echoed, pausing what she was doing to look at me. I shrugged, smiling at her."I know where this idea came from. You must have met that elderly man." My father said.I laughed, knowing he was right. I had met the old man, and it was a great experience."You are right." I replied with a shrug, starting to leave the room."Where are you going?" my mother called after me, and I paused. "You look beautiful." She added."I have a dinner date with Anderson. He’s coming to pick me up, and I wouldn’t want to keep him waiting." I replied.They looked at each other, definitely communicating with their brows before glancing in my direction."This has nothing to do with what I’m thinking, right?" Mother asked, raising her eyebrows."No, it has nothing to do with that. Don’t twist the whole story, I know that's something you would do." I said, heading out of the room

    EmilyIt’s been two weeks since everything unfolded, and today the primary election was being held. Father went to the venue alongside Mother to keep him company. Don’t get me wrong, he didn’t go there to support the Mayor. In fact, he believes there’s no chance the Mayor would be among the winners of the primary election. So there’s no guarantee he will even make it to the general election.I had visited the hospital earlier to check on the well-being of my child before heading back home to watch the election updates unfold on the screen.Father had spoken to Ryan about letting his mother have her freedom now that my father had been caught. Though, they’re still going back and forth because Ryan believes she might try to visit him in prison.To make things final, Father advised Ryan to visit the penitentiary and instruct them to deny her any visitation rights. He left for the prison about an hour ago and has yet to return.Since everything was over, I finally had nothing to worry abo

    Screeching the car to a halt, I turned off the engine and stepped out. This was the same place where he had once admitted to orchestrating all the tragedies. Why bring me here again? I scanned my surroundings, my eyes darting to every corner. The area was eerily quiet, too quiet. Not a car, not a soul in sight. He knew what he was doing, using this secluded place to his advantage. The sharp tone of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I pulled it out and saw Ethan's name flashing on the screen. Great. What now? Ethan had a knack for calling whenever he felt like it, speaking to me like I was beneath him, and then cutting the call before I could say a word. I answered, bringing the phone to my ear while my eyes continued scanning the vicinity. If he brought me here, he could be watching. I had to stay alert. "What the hell did you get involved in? Is this how you plan to take care of my sister?" Ethan's voice boomed through the phone. My jaw clenched. His tone was grating

    Ryan I couldn’t believe he ended the call. He’s still as rude as ever. I knew he didn’t just call me; he’s only working with me because that’s what Emily wants. I stood up abruptly, unable to sit still while she was missing. "Where do you think you are going?" Mother asked, preparing to stand up. She’d been indoors ever since I ordered the guards not to let her leave the house. The maid had called earlier to inform me that she hadn’t been eating. That was the only reason I came to see her. She could starve for all I cared, I wouldn’t mind. Amber is gone because of her carelessness, and honestly, I wouldn’t care if something happened to her too. "I'm heading out. I’ll see you later." "You can’t leave me here! I need to step out of this house; I can’t stay locked in forever." She demanded. "I only came here because you’re my mother and because of what the maid told me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t see me here." I paused before adding coldly, "A new maid will be here later to keep yo

    Ethan It’s been more than thirty minutes, and we still can’t find Emily. The certifications have been issued to the graduates, and they have taken their oaths, but there’s still no sign of Emily. She can’t just leave without informing anyone. At this point, I blame her guard for giving her the keys without asking questions. How do we find her? People are already leaving. We want to take a family picture, but we can’t find her. If only I had insisted on coming with her. If I had waited, we would have gotten here together. She wouldn’t have left without me knowing where she was headed. She knows I wouldn’t allow her to leave if she didn’t inform me where she was going. "We can’t keep waiting for her. I believe she will come home." Father said, obviously tired of waiting. He’s been seeing guests come to congratulate him on Lisa’s graduation, and has even gotten tired. He should be at home resting, not here when he still has stitches on his body. "She's old enough to take care of hers

    It’s been such a busy morning since I woke up. I’ve been helping the maids prepare food for the guests who showed up even before the day had begun. It’s Lisa’s day, and everyone is happy, coming to congratulate and celebrate with her. Finally, we’ve got a neurologist at home. I’ve been wondering how she intends to go after her business.She’ll be resuming work at the hospital a few days later before flying out to her desired place, which Father is still working on. I’m going to miss her; she’s been the most supportive sister and friend I’ve had since I lost my other friends.Everything has happened so fast, in the blink of an eye. I can’t believe I’ve been married before, and now I’m pregnant. I should inform Ryan about it instead of keeping it from him."Hey, what are you thinking?" I looked at the figure. It was Lisa, all dressed up, looking stunning. She was wearing a lace-trim off-shoulder slim dress, with elegant long sleeves and a back cut into a heart shape. Her hair was styled

    It was a hectic evening with Lisa. We finally managed to get her something to wear for her graduation. I’m not the one graduating, but I’m so happy she’s signing out of school.When we arrived home, Biggy helped carry the clothes from the car boot while we made our way into the living room.Father hadn’t come with us because he said the Mayor was coming over to see him. I guess he finally agreed to meet him, especially since the scandal he’s caught up in has been spread by bloggers.I’m certain that Ethan had something to do with it, but he feigned ignorance when Father asked him. Speaking of Ethan, I haven’t seen him since he left the office with Freya, who has refused to return despite his requests.We marched into the living room and found Father seated with the Mayor. Their expressions didn’t seem lighthearted.I quietly marched past them and ascended the stairs."Good day, Mayor." Lisa greeted, clearly seated close to Father, as I heard her plop onto the couch."Hello, Lisa! Cong

    EmilyIt has been more than ten days since we uncovered the truth that my birth father was the mastermind behind all the chaos that has unfolded. Since Ryan lost track of him that night, there have been no further leads to locate him. My adopted father was livid when he found out, ready to take matters into his hands, but his friend Liam managed to calm him down.There’s a reason I deeply respect Liam. He has a knack for stepping in at the right moment, offering advice that’s both timely and wise. He convinced my father to let Ryan and Ethan handle the situation, especially Ryan, who has been enduring threats and even narrowly escaped death, all because of me.In four years of marriage, I had no idea Ryan was hiding such a burden from me. None of this made sense at first, but after my birth father admitted to all his crimes, I couldn’t deny the truth. He never truly liked me, not even as a child. If not for my mother standing up for me, I might have ended up in an orphanage, far remov

    It took me a few minutes to bring Emily back to her senses. She was losing it and needed someone to ground her. We couldn’t fight her father here, he came prepared, determined to take her away with him. "Don’t say a word." I warned her, turning to face the man standing in front of us. He doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s father. How could Jasper not find anything substantial on him when I asked him to investigate? "I’m disappointed in you." I began, my voice steady and sharp, "not just as Emily’s father but as a so-called boss who can’t even protect his men from danger." He furrowed his brows, clearly confused, as if he didn’t understand what I had just said. "You must remember when I told you that only a fool hides while his world crumbles around him. Your men were kidnapped, yet all you could think to do was chase someone you’ll never catch." "Is this your attempt to provoke me?" He retorted, his tone calm but laced with disdain. "You’ve failed. Your words mean nothing to me." "Ca

    I made sure all the plans were in place before stepping out, fully prepared. He’s coming to get Emily, while the twins and their boss are coming for their friends body, and that of his brother. I will finally uncover who wanted Emily dead and went so far as to plant a bomb in her car. The anonymous figure who’s been tormenting me for years, forcing me to divorce her, needs to be unmasked. I need answers. Why has he been doing all this? Once I was ready, I got into the car, buckled my seatbelt, and drove off. We’re out to catch two people today. "Hey, is everything set? Any movement yet?" I asked, gripping the steering wheel tightly as I exited the parking lot. My nerves were shot, not because of the plan itself, but because Ethan kept giving us problems. I could only hope he wouldn’t jeopardize this operation. "Nothing yet, but that doesn’t mean no one will show up. You’ve seen the twin brother. He’s not just starving, he’s like that because he’s been separated from his brother." K
