Hired For The Billionaire's Son Chapter 43
I should have known something was wrong the moment Dad took to the stage and introduced Ethan. If this party was to celebrate Dad's management over the company for the last fifty years, then he would never in a million years have decided to share the spotlight with someone else. So the fact that he had introduced Ethan and even gone as far as inviting him to the stage, sent off warning bells in my ears and why did I have this bad feeling in my gut that Ethan was also somehow aware of this? For starters, he had told me he met up with Dad earlier in the week. I found it absurd that he had met up with Dad just to discuss extending an invitation to Liam, if that was what they indeed talked about, it was a conversation they could have easily had over the phone. But going all the way to his office, behind my back as well? I wasn't sure that was something that was okay with me. And Ethan looked so calm through it all, I thought he was handling it well, he stood up and the spotlight fell

The story continues in Ethan's POVEverything had turned out to be a huge mess. I didn't know how everything managed to spiral out of control in my hands. One minute I thought I had the upper hand and that everything was in my control, the next minute, it was all out of my hands, and it was a huge disaster. I did visit Kate's dad in his office earlier during the week, and I was being truthful when I said the only reason I went was so that I could get him to extend an invitation to Liam because I knew Mr Miller a little too much for his liking. I knew that once he termed someone his enemy, and once he decided to attack, he would attack from all corners, and so I wanted to have all my bases covered or so I thought. I wouldn't be there all the time to protect Kate, I would want to mingle as well, interact with some dignitaries, talk business with some other people as well, you know, just like every other party and I knew Kate got easily bored of all those things.The ideal thing to do

I think I was cursed. Curses were something I didn't believe in once upon a time, superstitions, I would call them, but I was starting to believe it now, that was the only logical way to back up what had been going on all this while. There was never a break, a moment to just slow down and breathe, it was always one thing after the other. I remembered when I had just been labeled the biggest douchebag of the century when Jake had gone to show Kate's accident to the whole world. It felt like yesterday and I was even more devastated when Kate woke up from the accident and had no memory of me again, I had hurt her to the extent that she wanted to forget me. That was one of my life's lowest points and it was then I decided to at least try and do better. And I haven't gone back on my promise to do better since then. We've gone through more hard struggles after that accident and the things that came afterwards, Kate had even met her grandparents again and she had a narrow escape from de

Why was this coming again? What was this curve ball that had again been thrown my way? Where was this coming from again? I continued to scroll through the several articles that had been uploaded in less than thirty minutes, they had said we met up in the place we used to go back when we were still together, and I realized then how stupid it was of me to ask us to meet up there. Not only had we met up in the place we supposedly used to go on dates back then, but we were also seen to be affectionate towards each other and they had pictures to back it up and I wished I could correct what wrong impression they had gotten. The pictures they had taken were taken from strategic angles. They had only captured Lucy's face and she was looking at me in such an adoring manner, like I was the one that put the stars in the sky. There was even a place she had reached out and taken my hands in hers, that had been captured as well. To top it all, the last picture which was the most controversial w

I moved closer to the door and knocked on it, my heart beating very loudly with each knock, I was once again tempted to turn around and just leave everything behind but that would only be to my detriment. And besides, I already made up my mind to see this through, it wouldn't be a smart move on my part to leave now, especially when I had knocked on the door again. While I was contemplating the choice I was going to make, the door unexpectedly swung open and I came face to face with Emily and from the look on her face, I could tell that she wasn't happy with me. She didn't say anything as well, she just opened the door wider for me to come in and she stepped out of the way. I hesitantly stepped in and closed the door behind me, "Good afternoon Emily." I greeted her but she didn't even spare me a glance, she just made her way to the kitchen. Feeling out of place and not knowing what to do, I just stood in the middle of the living room, looking all around. Although it was Liam's hous

"So you knew all along?" I asked Kate as she passed me a mug with coffee inside. She chuckled at my question and rolled her eyes as well. I couldn't exactly blame her, this was the third time in the past ten minutes that I was asking her this question. "Of course I knew, do you think I'm stupid?" Was her reply before she settled down beside me. "I know you're not stupid, it's just I already thought you'd also believe that I cheated on you, they even had pictures to back it up," I explained to her. "A picture doesn't always tell the full story, you know?" She asked rhetorically and once again I was rendered speechless by the sheer intelligence of this lady. "I know but they were convincing pictures." I didn't even know who I was trying to convince at this point. I found it rather strange when Kate had told me earlier that she knew I didn't cheat on her, even with the scandal that had just broken out upon my arrival. "They were convincing pictures but isn't it glaringly obvious tha

The story goes back to Kate's POV"Are you sure this is what you want to do? I know we want to launch our attack on him to let him know we won't sit still neither will we be silenced but isn't this too much?" Ethan asked for the umpteenth time. I wasn't annoyed by his hesitancy and his questions, I would be more worried if he had supported me with no hesitation or tried to convince me to change my mind but the fact that he was doing this now, meant that he genuinely cared about me."I understand why you're hesitant, but we said we were going to war, didn't we?" I asked Ethan again and I saw him gulp visibly, he was terrified of what we were about to do. "I know you said we should rain hell down on him but I'm scared this darkness is going to consume you if you go through with this," Ethan said again, all still in an attempt to change my mind, but that was the thing about me, once my mind was made up on something, it was next to impossible to get me to change it and it was both a goo

I picked up the phone and instead of answering the call and placing it by my ear, I simply put the call on loudspeaker so Ethan could hear what he was about to say as well and I knew he was going to have a lot to say. "You ungrateful, stupid, little bitch!!!" He roared thunderously as soon as I picked up the call, I simply chuckled at his rather colourful choice of words, it wasn't like I was expecting anything else. "Do you think this is funny? Do you think I'll let this slide just like that? Or simply because you're my daughter?" He asked and I was guessing he must have heard me chuckling. "I take it that you've seen the news." I started. "Kate, I'm telling you right now this instant, bring down those articles right this minute." He seethed at me. "Why? The public seems to love it and the press is digging it up. Why would I give up something that's giving us massive publicity like that?" I taunted him myself. "You're playing with fire little girl, and if you play with fire, yo

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
