We stood in front of Ethan's office staring blankly at it. Someone working here that we probably know has something to do with Ethan's accident.

"Why exactly are we staring at this place again" Del asked.

"I havae no idea" I replied.

"Let's go in" She said while dragging me in.

I have never been here in all the years Ethan and i have been dating, he was sacred of what the media will say, or do and write about me. Yes, it was a form of protection but at the same time i hated it because had he told the world about me, the media would have helped in diclosing who i was to him.

We got to his secretary table with Della asking if Ethan is around, am not quite sure what we will do once we get to his office but again this is Della that am talking about. She is normally crazy and acts without giving anything a second thought, which always make us bith end up in trouble.

"Is my brother around?" Del asked.

"Yes ma'am but his fiancee is with him. Let me make a call to him"The secretary said.

"Never mind"Del said while waving her off.

We walked into what revealed to be a gigantic and exotic office space. It is big, spacious and had everything it needs. I saw him with Josephine on his lap.

"You didn't mention that you're going to come over" He said to Del.

"Do i need to ask for permission?" Del asked and he said no.

"Amelia, i didn't ask you to come here and our appointment isn't due till tomorrow" Josephine said while standing up from his lap.

"I was the one who invited her" Del stated.

"But she works for me , you can't just invite her anyhow"

"Really, i didn't know that there is an exclusive contract you signed with her stating she can't work with other people"Della stated.

"You really need to watch your mouth"

"And you need to watch your actions around me"

"You two need to stop behaving like kids" Ethan said.

"But sh......."

"No buts" Ethan cut Josephine off.

"I don't really understand why you two hate each other guts, Can you all just leave. i need to work" He asked.

"Including me?"Josephine.

"Yes including you Joe" He said and she stormed out.

We got out of the office only to meet the eyes of Joesphine

"Consider yourself fired" She said while glaring at me and walked out.

"Thank Goodness" Del said.

"Dude, i just got fired and you're thanking God about it. Are you of your mind"

"And are you okay with planning your boyfriend's wedding?, you guys have a kid for crying out loud" She said or perhaps yelled. She kind of have a point.

I smiled remembering the face Del made when she realized that i have a kid.

....................Flashback................

After we got to the restaurant where we were catching up on things when Joesphine reintroduced us, i remembered that Daniel will soon be getting out of school.

"I have to leave soon" I told Del

"Why???"

"I need to pick up Daniel"

"Daniel who?"

"My son" I said.

One

Two

Three.................................

"Am going to fucking kill you, you have a son, a fucking child..........wait for who?.......why am i even asking a stupid question..... it is obviously for my brother right???"

"Yes, he is your brother"s child"

"Ohhhh...Thank God, i thought for a moment that hey maybe she slept with someone else but then remembered that you can't do that shit"

"Why did you think so?"

"Seriously? You are asking that kind of question. You are the only people who makes me feel single in all areas. And you two literally can't really function without each other. It is just unfortunate that he doesn't remember you" She said and i nodded.

We ended up going to Daniel's school to pick him up since Del said she wanted to meet him.

"Good Afternoon ma'am, Are you momma's friend?" Daniel asked.

"Yes, you can call me aunty Del"

"And you can call me Dan, only close people can call me by that name"

"Cute" Del stated....

...................End of Flashback..................

We were about leaving the office premises when i saw Ethan's Secretary enter a particular car, Ethan's mom car. Maybe am thinking too much about it.

The next day, Del and i met up because she said she got a lead on something, i wasn't exactly sure what it was but i went anyways.

"So i had no choice but to sneak into my mom's office last night"

"Give me a good reason why"

"She got a weird phone call last night and it was as if the person was threatening her"

"What made you think so?"

"You know that look one give when he or she has been caught red handed, but the main issue here is that in found this documents in her office" She said while showing me the shot of documents she took.

"Why will you find it weird that your mom is sending money to someone's account. She probably is paying them for their job."

"Indeed, the person is Ethan's Secretary"

"Am not seeing the problem here"

"Why in the world would my mom be paying here 2 milllion dollars monthly and for fucks sake she is just a secretary, Ethan is already paying her for her job."

....OKK, Something is definitely fishy...

"Now that i think of it, i saw her entering your mom's car yesterday"

"Great, we have a lead"

.................I can't believe this girl is turning me into a detective.............

    "What exactly is my job again" I asked Della as we both stood in front of Anderson's Enterprises. "Distract her for me. How many times am i going to tell you that?""How do i go about it?" I asked."I don't know, use that brain of yours""And what are you planning to do when i do that?""That's my job, leave it to me and do yours" "Alright, no need to be so grumpy about it" I mutteredWe walked into Ethan's lounge and i walked up to the secretary Lillian desk."Good morning" "Good morning ma'am. How may i help you?""Am asking for Miss Lillian James""Am the one. Is there any problem?""You have a parcel waiting for you downstairs, a guy with a blue jacket and a matching cap asked for me to inform you" I said in hope that this is going to work out."Thank you....Probably the package justin ordered" She said muttering to herself while away looking for the non-existant guy."What are you planning on taking?"I asked Del"This" She said while showing me the Lillian's phone."And if sh

    We continued staring at one another."What in heaven's sake are you doing here Del?, You and Scott better not be dating"Ethan yelled."Ewww...... i have higher standards" Del said."So do i" Scott replied while eyeing Del."And any reason why Joe's former wedding planner is also hiding with you guys cause the last i remember Joe fired her"Ethan said."And did she give you a reason why she fired her?" Del asked."Incompetence and something about not meeting up regularly for appointments" Ethan said and i scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. I never miss any of our appointments and when in fuck's name am i incompetent."Sure, she would lie" Del said."You really need to stop hating on Joe like that. She is a nice person""Really, cause not quite long ago, someone was complaining about not wanting to get married." Scott said"I did not say am not getting married to her. I just am not ready now"Ethan said."I literally can't see the difference"Scott said."Same here"Del responded."Will you

    I can’t believe I have been living a lie, at this point I really don’t know know who to trust. It completely make sense why Josephine is pressuring me to push the wedding date forward but at the same time, I knew I had to make a decision and try to regain my memory.I told Amelia and Delle to meet me at one of my personal penthouse, I don’t even know why I bought the house but it seems very special and dear to me which was why I didn’t inform Joe about it.“Wow, you have this type of house and didn’t inform me” Delle said while admiring the house.“Can we get to the point?” I asked and she scoff.“Scott is on his way” Amelia said.“Am here” Scott said while walking in.“Why did you invite him?” I asked.“He is part of the group right?” Delle said.“I feel offended dude, you were going to cut me off” He said with an annoying look as if he had been betrayed.“Anyways, we have to get to know if my mom and Joe are working together and why……..”“Isn’t that obvious?

    Jeremy was the first friend I ever made since high school, we tell each other everything from our first high school crush to my very first girlfriend, I always tell him everything because to me he was more than a friend, he was my brother. I couldn’t believe my ears when Delle and Amy revealed that he was involved in my accident.“I know you will label me as a bad friend but I didn’t really have a choice, she was threaten to kill her if I say a word. Am sorry” He said or rather ramble.“Calm down and explain whatever you’re talking about?” I said.“Your mom”He said.“What did she do?”“She was the cause of your accident”“Am sorry, you say what”“S-She said she wanted you not to be with her and she was going to do whatever it takes to do that”“Wanted me not to be with who?” I asked.“With Amelia”“And how do you know about all of this?”“Remember when you were in the hospital and needed someone to get your clothes from home and I offered?” He said and I nodded remembering how much I

    I decided on taking both Amelia and Daniel out of the country to Paris and meet Dad. As much as I hate to admit it, he, Delle and Scott are the only ones I trust right now. I wanted him to know about both of them and to know that he has a grandchild.“Are you sure about this?”Amelia asked when we were about entering the house.“Yes, he has a right to know about everything” I said while trying to adjust Dan who has fell asleep on my shoulder.“If you say so” She said while we entered the big and exquisite apartment. Dad always have eyes down for expensive shit ranging from his apartments, to cars he owned, to his hotels and bars and whenever anyone tries to explain that he shouldn’t spend money on useless stuffs, he replies with “You only live once, make good use of it”. He and Mom filed for a divorce immediately I graduated from college, to outsiders, they were the most lovable couple but we the kids know that that was far from the truth. They are always on each other nerves and ser

    Dad and Amelia alongside were bonding, it was a beautiful sight because dad always complains about every one of my girlfriends, about how they are not good enough for me. He was smiling and it is the first time I have ever seen him smile this much. I didn’t want to loose this. I want to have a family that will be worry free but for any of that to happen, I have to find a way to get Josephine out of my life and make sure neither her nor mom tries to do anything to Daniel or Amelia.“What do you say to me giving you a tour round Paris?” I asked Amy while Dad and Daniel are sorting out his lego collection.“What about Daniel?” She asked.“Dad can babysit, Delle told me how much you love the museum. How about we go there? Dan and I can fix a date for later” I said and she grinned.“Really…… I haven’t been to a museum in years. When do we leave and what do I wear?” She asked unable to control the happiness radiating from her.“How does the next thirty minutes sound and you can wear somethi

    I couldn’t have a sound sleep not when I knew what my mom was capable of doing now the secret is out. I can’t even begin to imagine what her reaction will be. I didn’t want to jeopardize Amelia’s safety, I needed to act fast and the faster I do that, the better.“You look as if you didn’t get a lot of sleep” Amelia said when I got downstairs the next morning.“That’s because I didn’t”“Why?”“Mom knows”“About…………”“About the fact that we had a date yesterday. I don’t know what she is going to do”“And Daniel?”“She doesn’t know about him”“Which is why Daniel will stay here with me while you guys sort out the problem with your mom” Dad said while walking into the kitchen.“I can’t just leave Daniel alone here” Amy said.“You don’t really have a choice. We need to think about his safety, if she notices that you’re going around with a kid, she will put everything together and will soon realize that Daniel is Ethan’s kid. The important thing we should make sure of is that she shouldn’t

Delle and I were left at home alone with Uncle Francis. One minute we were having movie marathon, the next minute, we were in the hospital after learning that mom committed suicide.

    He wasn’t speaking to me. He is really taking my word to the next level.He pretends that I don’t exist and it hurts.Why the hell does it even hurts?.“Will you fucking talk to me?” I asked as he was about to go back to his room after taking his dinner again.He has been doing this for over a week nowIt was annoying not only because it felt weird but also because I was the one who suggested pretending not to know each other.I didn't know he will really take this to a whole new level.The mother fucker ignores me at home and even at work, the only time he speaks is whenever I indirectly ask him something .He didn’t say anything but turns to go up the stairs. I ran after him and block him from leaving.“Will you at least say something?” I said.“I thought you wanted us to pretend that you don’t exist.”“Am sorry, okay. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said it that way” I said.“Whatever” He said before walking away.Is he being serious right now?I literally just apologized.“Who got

    The boys and I were at it drinking all through the night…I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and immediately turned it off.I turn over to see him Noah, his hair is in a mess but he still managed to lookhot and ravishing at the same time.How did I end up here?. All I remember was trying to get Scott away from where he was beeing beaten, even though the stupid guy clearly wanted to prove that he can fight, he wasn’t in a clear state of mind or position to. Scott is a bad influence on the both of us. We always end up doing crazy shitty stuffs whenever he is around.I quickly pack my stuffs and tip toe over to the entrance but stopped when I heard his voice.“Running away again?” He asked in his husky voice.“I just didn’t want to disturb you. You were sleeping” I said and he hummed.“I don’t think I can believe you any longer” He said.“Why?’ I asked while frowning.“Cause this was the same thing you did last time.” He said.“So you remembered about last time” I said while ge

    I take back my word, Mom hates me.I was staring at Noah as he was dragging his luggage into the living room.“Where do I put my luggage?” He asked.“Lillian will show you your room” I said while pointing to my cook, Lillian who immediately took his bags and lead him upstairs.I took out my phone and dial mom’s number.“Are you being serious right now?” I asked her once she picks up her phone.“What are you talking about?” She asked.“Of all the people in this world that I could have had as a room mate, you chose Uncle Johnson’s son Noah” I said and she hissed.“With the stupid stunt you gave at the dinner and making me lose a billion dollar deal, that’s the least way I could get you punished knowing how much you hate his guts since you were kids” Mom said.I don’t even remember knowing him.“He can’t live here” I said.“He can and he will” She said.“And I will appreciate if you stop disturbing me” She said before hanging up on me.“Is everything alright?” A voice said and I turn aro

    Dad called and said Mom said all of us are to attend dinner.This isn’t going to end up on a good note.I got home a little late and Shua was the one who answered the door.“To give you an head start bro, Rissa and her family are here” Shua said and I nodded.It is the perfect place I can put a stop to their delusion and make sure they don’t disturb me ever again.“We’ve been waiting for you since. Come have a seat” Mom said in a sweet voice while leading me to sit beside Rissa.Her parents, two older brother and her elder sister were here.Perfect place for the perfect surprise.“We were talking about the wedding preparations” Justina said.“Whose wedding preparations?” I asked while acting oblivious to the whole drama making my dad and brothers try to make a cough out of a chuckle.“Ours of course babe” Rissa said.“The last time I checked, I wasn’t in a relationship and I can say that am single to the core” I said while removing her hands from my shoulder.“Jeremy, I will advice yo

    I was beyond livid, how could she do that?I made my choice clear.I don’t want to have anything intimate to do with Rissa.“Are you okay?” Mimi said while walking into the living room. I must have woken her up.“Can you tell my brother when he wakes up that I am at Scott’s?” I asked her and she nodded.I drove like a maniac hoping that it would subdue my anger but it didn’t, instead it intensifies it the more.“You look like you’re really going to murder me” Scott said when I crashed on his couch.“She doesn’t get to do that to me” I said on the verge of tears.“How about we go out? Have fun, and forget for a minute that you’re about to get married to a person that you don’t like” He said and I nodded.It was sort of our thing to do that. Pretend that everything is okay for a while by drinking our ass off and then talk about our problems later when we deem it fit to.Scott and I went over to his club and drank as if there is no tomorrow and seriously I felt free.

    I ended up driving round the city before deciding to go to Jason’s house. I feel at home whenever am there. There are no screams except from Kevin’s tantrums which is bearable compared to Mom’s.She always and constantly wants to have control of everything going on in my life.“Sorry for crashing in late” I said when Jason opened the door.“Dad already called, so I was already expecting you” He said with a smile while leading me inside.“Uncle Jer!!!!” Kevin shouted once he saw me come in alongside his dad.“Hi there” I said with a smile.“You are more handsome than in the camera, even more than dad” He said.“Really?” I said while chuckling.“I feel offended” Jason said while pouting before making his way over to Mimi.“You’ve finally decided to grace us with your presence despite the fact that you’ve for about a month now” She said.“Am sorry” I said knowing giving excuses was a failed plan.“Forget about her tonight and enjoy yourself”Jason whispered to me when we starting watching

You guys need to stop toying with Ethan. He has feelings too you know” I said.“Please spare me the crap and just do your job” She said before heading towards her car.I got into my car and drove off.The folder contains what seems to be an encryted file.

Are you having a fight or what?” He asked and I replied with a no.I couldn’t explain to anyone the real reason behind what has happened. I couldn’t tell them why I was adamant and hell bent on leaving. On why I was scared that people will die because of my actions.About how much I fear losing the most important people in my life.I was scared of Ethan and Scott’s reaction when they find out what actually happened seven years ago….“How the hell am I engaged to Rissa without my own permission?” I asked Dad while focusing my attention on him again.“When you have a mom like yours, you will realize that stuffs happen without you knowing about it”He said
