"So what do we do now? I mean what is the next course of action we're taking? We already have everything we can need in the palm of our hands, we can't just sit around and do nothing with it right?" Emily asked the singular question I had been wanting to ask all this while.

I didn't know why, but everyone immediately averted their gaze from me when Emily asked her question and it was overwhelming, and it was overwhelming because I felt like a huge burden had been placed on my shoulders. I suddenly felt like I was responsible for this huge weight they had placed on my shoulders and I could tell you, it wasn't that good of a feeling.

"Oh um, I'm not going to lie, I haven't thought that far yet, I had always believed this whole drama we were putting up was going to last more than a year, so I haven't had time to properly think things too," I revealed it to them.

There was no point lying anyway, if I resorted to lying, it wasn't going to help matters not even the slightest bit and it co

    Immediately in my mind, I began to map out the entire house, trying to figure out where it could be hidden. My guess would be Dad's study, it only made sense for him to keep it there, as that was the only place in the house we had restricted access to.If Dad didn't let you in himself, there was no way you could get into that study, that alone was suspicious and that alone pointed to the fact that, that was where the secret passage was, it had to be. "Where is this so-called secret passage located?" Ethan jumped in to ask, also surprised by the fact that he had never once heard about this, truth was that, I hadn't heard about it before as well. "You'd be so surprised when you hear where it's located," Lucy exclaimed. "I'm 100% sure that it's in his study, I can bet my life on it as well." I voiced out, if everyone was going to be shocked by the location of this passage that was a secret, I wouldn't be, one thing about Dad was that he could be so predictable. There were times he wo

    Ever since Ethan arrived, he has had this distant look on his face and it makes me both scared and worried because I knew whenever he had that look on his face, it only meant one thing, something was troubling his mind, but what could be the source of his troubles now? What could he possibly be worried about again?Everything was going the way we wanted, everything was working out well, and we now actually had a chance to win this fight. The odds that were once stacked against us happen to be in our favour now, so I couldn't understand why he wasn't over the moon because I for one, sure was. I continued to follow him through the colossal backyard space, and it wasn't until we turned a corner that I started realizing something, Ethan was the one leading me to wherever we were going. This was my grandparent's house, so why was Ethan leading me through our backyard? And from the way he was walking, he was walking with accuracy, almost like he knew where he was going, and it was very st

    A Glimpse Into The Past Ethan was angry with his dad, and he wasn't going to hide it from him, it was written all over his face and it was clear as day, he continued to sulk in the back of the seat, his arms folded across his chest."Are you still angry baby?" His mum asked and she reached out in an attempt to rest her hands on Ethan's knee but Ethan moved away from her touch, but the truth was, he could pout all he wanted or throw a tantrum but nothing was going to change, absolutely nothing because he was now in Australia, somewhere far from where he lived in New York. "I know you're angry but it looks like we might be gone for the whole week and we can't leave you back at home all by yourself, can we?" His mum asked him, trying to make him understand why they had done what they did. "I could have gone with Liam," Ethan grumbled from his seat and turned his head in the direction of the window, watching as the scenery passed them by, where were they even going?"Liam's camping tri

    "Is everything ready? Have we packed everything?" Ethan asked me again for the hundredth time in the past one hour like the worrywart he was and I didn't understand why he was making such a big fuss. It wasn't the first time we would be travelling and we weren't going to an unknown destination so I was utterly confused as to why he could be possibly acting like this the funny thing was he had been like this since we woke up earlier in the money and the funniest thing was that he wasn't like this last night. We had gone out with Liam, Emily and Lucy to just have a good time and I was happy because our aim had been accomplished, we had a wonderful time and Ethan himself had been pretty lax the entire time and I thought we would continue to ride on that energy come this morning, but I was wrong. He had woken up as early as 5 am and it would have been better if he had just woken up alone but he didn't. The annoying thing was that he had woken me up as well. He had gotten up and had sta

    "I am serious Kate and I'm sure about us, I've never been more sure about anything before in my life." He answered and the conviction in his eyes and his voice was enough to clear all the doubts I was having earlier. "I'm happy to hear that, now do you want to tell me what's wrong?" I asked him, bringing up the topic we had earlier pushed to the side."Nothing ever passes you by, does it?" He started teasing me in the process too but when he saw the blank look on my face, he hurried up, "I'm talking Kate, just chill." He told me, before going silent again and when I looked at him, I could tell that he was thinking, he wasn't avoiding my question, he was just taking his time to put his thoughts together. "This last year without you Kate, it was absolute torture." He started and I interjected quickly."What do you mean without me? We communicated every chance we got, didn't we?" I asked him, not quite understanding where he was heading with this conversation. "I know we did but that'

    He told me, already mustering up all the courage he needed, I was glad we were able to talk about this because it was a conversation we needed to have and the old Ethan and Kate wouldn't have hesitated to sweep it all under the carpet but the fact that we were able to talk this through is more than enough proof that, moving forward, between Ethan and I, things were going to be different. Thankfully, we were able to pack the rest of our things without any hiccups again and by the time we were done, I had somehow ended up with five suitcases, while Ethan only had two. "What's going on here? I'm confused." I asked him when I saw the items of luggage I had. Ethan only looked at me and laughed, "You know you still have some of your things in my suitcase." He told me pointedly. So in reality, I had six suitcases to my name and not give, interesting. "I do not accept what you just said," I told Ethan, crossing my hands across my chest. "Oh really?

    "What the hell man? What was that for?" Ethan yelled out when his eyes became clearer and when he saw who the culprit was. "That felt good, I've been wanting to do that for a long time." Jake exclaimed and even whooped out loud afterwards, "Shit I think I broke my fingers." He added, cradling his fingers in his other hand when he started feeling pain. "I think you broke my jaw," Ethan muttered out loud too, outstretching his hand so that Jake could help him up. I thought I was dreaming at first but they actually looked very chilled with each other and my eyes would almost bulge out of their sockets when Jake stretched forth his own hands and helped Ethan up."That makes us even now." He said to Ethan when Ethan was back on his feet. Ethan was about to fire a sarcastic comment of his own back no doubt but it was at that moment he was about to speak, that was when I decided to interject. "I'm sorry but what's going on here?" I asked when it seemed like I was the only one who found th

    "They don't hate you." I started and I hadn't said anything more before Ethan scoffed at my words, I knew then that I wasn't off to a good start but I wasn't going to let that stop me, what I had just encountered was a minor hiccup on the way to my actual goal. "You know I thought that if everyone would bullshit me, it wouldn't be you of all people Kate." He said to me, tossing a straight look in my direction and looking out the window afterwards. "Are you going to let me speak at all?" I asked him, slightly growing annoyed with the way he had cut me off and with the words that came out of his mouth. "No you're right, I'm sorry. You may continue." He apologized and I sent him a thankful nod, glad that he recognised and acknowledged the fact that he had done something wrong. Ethan had changed a lot in the past year and it was a good thing, they were good changes. "They don't hate you, Ethan, they just don't know what happened. And when we eventually tell them, I can promise you tha

    Four Years LaterI sat nervously in the chair that was set up on the stage, and although I had this huge smile plastered on my face, no one could tell that I was nervous, well there was one person who could anyway, and he was seated in the front row with our two-year-old son, Aiden. I looked up at him and he smiled at me and mouthed the words "Breathe." Just like that, the thickness that had lodged itself in my chest dissipated and I felt like I could breathe again. "Thank you." I mouthed back to him and he smiled and went back to cuddling our baby in his arms.So allow me to bring you up to speed on everything that has happened in the last four years. After Dad was arrested, he was tried, convicted and sentenced to jail of course and just like Ethan had predicted, he had been sentenced to life imprisonment, without an option of parole of course. It was after that that I was finally given the company. I had presented the copy of the transfer of ownership Mum had done before she die

    It had been a week since the ball incident, and what that meant was that it had been one whole week of chaos and complete madness to say the least. What Lucy had told us and warned us about, that the press was going to go insane was absolutely true, the press had gone insane that night and it was only because Ethan and Liam had taken the initiative to hire more security men beforehand, that was how we had been able to get everything under control, things would have gotten more insane if it wasn't for that.Dad had been arrested and taken into custody that night, Stephanie had also fainted from shock, following the revelation we made that night. Overall, it was a very dramatic and unforgettable night, and things had only just started. An investigation was immediately launched following the arrest of dad and it was in this process that more of his crimes were brought to light and it was in this process that I myself heard of his numerous other crimes. Not only had he committed murder,

    "Hello, lovely people." I heard someone greet me from behind me and immediately knew who it was. Emily hugged me from behind and I patted her arms lightly, chuckling at her manner of greeting. After I exchanged pleasantries with both her and Liam, they took their seats, our table was for five people and four were already in attendance, we were expecting just one more person. "Where is Aurora?" I asked her."She's with her grandparents." She answered me and I knew by grandparents, she meant Ethan's mum and dad. "So a little birdie told me this is no ordinary ball." Emily leaned closer to me and whispered in my ears after a while. I gave her a knowing smile as I already figured out where she got the information or from whom she got it, but I wasn't angry or anything like that. Emily was one of my trusted allies and we were in this together. "Well, that little birdie was right," I whispered back to her. "So what are we doing tonight? What is tonight all about?" She asked me, literal

    "Oh yes, I'm sorry ma'am." She apologized before saying something to the Bluetooth device that was connected to her, "They said it is Mr. Miller, ma'am, your father, he just stepped on the red carpet."A feeling of fear and shock descended on me at first but I just told myself that I wasn't the same person I was last year before I left, I was bolder and more confident now, and I could now stand up to my oppressors and I wouldn't let anyone or anything, bring me down again, I could do this and I was going to do this. "Do you want us to head in first?" Ethan bent down to my level and whispered in my ears, but when I looked up, I looked at him and shook my head."No we can stay, it'd be nice to get an interview with him at least," I told Ethan and he knew what I was doing, I was already putting the plan into execution and he nodded his head to show me that he was in full support of what I was doing.Besides, like I said earlier, I knew the games these reporters played and I had been pla

    Ethan helped me out of the car and the moment the reporters spotted us they swarmed us like a bunch of bees, luckily for us, Ethan had planned and he had arranged security beforehand. So immediately they swarmed us, the security details around us formed a wall and we were protected from them, "Should we just head in or do you want to grant some interviews?" Ethan asked me, talking loudly over all the noise and camera flashes. Although we had several bulky men who had formed a barrier around us, Ethan still ensured I was protected, he had draped his hand over my shoulder and brought me closer so that my face couldn't be seen by the rest of the public, he was taking my safety very seriously and I was touched by that. "It's fine, I'll grant some interviews," I yelled back to him over all the noise as well."Are you sure? These people are like a bunch of hungry lions right now and they won't go easy on you, are you sure you want to do this? You know you don't have to?" He asked me agai

    When I did that Ethan groaned out and doubled over, I was scared because his groan sounded like a painful one, I immediately crouched down to his level and I was rubbing soothing circles on his back, "What's wrong babe?" I asked him and he looked up at me before saying, "You." I was confused, and I knew my facial expression must have changed from worried to confused, as Ethan read my face and explained to himself, "that thing you're doing to me is making me feel all sorts of things." He told me. "What thing?" I asked him again, not at all understanding what he was saying. "This thing." He demonstrated and I smiled. "What about this thing?" I asked again and repeated the same action and he groaned out."Stop biting your lips." He told me and I looked up at him through my lashes, and quietly asked, "Or else what?" I asked and this time, he jumped into action, he brought his hands to my lips and released them from the hold of my teeth.I rolled my eyes at his words and pushed him out

    Ethan and I had enjoyed a complete two weeks of total bliss, now it was time to go back into the limelight, and by limelight, I meant, now it was time to reveal our whole truth to the world and as expected, Dad would never see it coming. We realized there was some truth to what Lucy had told us the last time she was here, things were going to get very crazy from now henceforth and Ethan and I needed all the alone time we could get and the only way we could get it was right now, no time was enough but we made the most out of our time together and now, we were ready. The news that I was back in New York or that Ethan and I were back together, the news hadn't gotten to the press or the public yet, I knew that because had it meant the press had heard about it, they would have been lining up at the entrance of the apartment since the day we got back, but we had enjoyed total peace in the past two weeks.Everything Ethan and I did, we did it indoors as we couldn't go out, going out would

    "It's a hidden talent of mine," I responded and smiled at him."It's not going to be easy but just like you said, our relationship hasn't gone past the point of no repair, and all we just have to do is sit down and have this conversation, they're still my parents and I still love them, it's going to be hard but they're worth it." He said I smiled up at him, looking at him with a proud smile on my face."I'm happy to hear you say that," I told him and I leaned up and placed a quick kiss on his lips, smiling at him when I pulled back, that would not be enough for Ethan because he suddenly leaned down to my level and captured my lips in an intense kiss of his own, the rest of our night was spent I'm pure bliss needless to say. We were woken up by the sound of the buzzing on the front door and it continued to buzz like that for a while. I was surprised that I was the one that heard it. Ethan was still fast asleep and it didn't even seem like he was going to get up anytime soon. I tapped

    When we got outside, Ethan went around the car, opened the door and helped me into the passenger's seat. I thought he was telling me that he wanted to be alone and that the driver should take me home and I was all but ready to jump out of the car. But I was happy when Ethan came to the driver's seat and opened the door, "Out!" He told the driver that was perched in the driver's seat and wanted to drive us home. The young man took one look at Ethan's face and he could tell that Ethan wasn't in a mood to be messed around with and immediately, he scurried out of the car. Ethan then came in and in the process of fastening his seat belt, the front door slammed closed and when we looked up, we saw that it was no other person than his mum, and it seemed like she was coming here. Ethan had immediately forgotten about the seatbelt he wanted to fasten and he reached for the ignition keys, he started the car and it roared to life, his mum had almost reached us, except that she wasn't fast enou
