I looked around the house as we entered, and what I noticed was that all traces of Mum had been long eliminated, he had erased her existence from this house. I couldn't believe this was the first time I was just noticing this. There was a particular painting Mum and I had done when I was about ten years old. We had spent all day working on that painting and I remembered that Dad had even joined us to paint a portion of the portrait we were walking on the day he came back from his office. That memory remains one of my favourite childhood memories, it had been a beautiful day, that very day. Even though Dad was exhausted from working all day, when I asked him to join us and paint, he merely smiled at me, dropped his briefcase and took off his suit jacket before joining us on the veranda where we did the painting that day.This was the first time I noticed that the painting was no longer on the wall where we had hung it, we had decided to frame it, well, it was more like I begged them

"It was just some piece of junk, right? It wasn't adding to the aesthetics of the house anyways." Stephanie had the guts to add too."Where is it?" I quietly demanded. "Do you think I'll tell you where we took it and let's just say by some magical way, I managed to tell you where it is, what are you going to do with it?" Dad asked me, folding his arms across his chair and sitting high and mighty in the chair he was occupying. "There's nothing to do with it other than just to cherish it in the way mum would have if she was still alive," I told him coldly and for a second there, a thoughtful look flashed across his face and I thought I had managed to get through to him but I was wrong. The look left his face as quickly as it had come. "You'll never find out where it is, so stop trying." He finished and I didn't bother to argue again. "Sit down Kate," Ethan told me and having no fight left in me, I sat down just as he had requested. "Now that that's settled, why are you both here?"

The drive to the storage facility took quite some time. Throughout our entire drive there, I was feeling all different sorts of emotions, my mind was spiralling all over the place and I was barely holding on at this point. Ethan, who was driving by my side, looked calm and composed as well. I could tell with the ease he was using to turn the steering wheel but I could also see that he was nervous just like I was too. How did I know? Ethan also had a tell, you could see him scratching his eyebrows now and then, and then there was the continuous tapping of his left thumb and index on the steering wheel almost every single second. He was very nervous, he was just trying to stay strong for me and I was happy he was doing that for me, I was all of a sudden reminded of what he had said in the car when we were going to Dad's house, I was referring to what he had said about him being in love with me. I had been thinking about it over and over again, although I shifted it to the back of my

"Storage facilities are mostly built in the same manner, and I already saw the layout from the outside and I discovered my company built this and we build our storage facilities in the standard manner." He explained to me and I nodded along, he was right actually, it made a lot of sense the way he explained it. We soon reached the counter or check-in point or whatever it was called and the high school student who was there looked up when we stopped in front of him. When he looked at me, he just looked me up and down and moved on to the next person but when he looked at Ethan, recognition flashed in his eyes and I knew he just had recognized Ethan then, Ethan was somewhat of a celebrity anyway. "Good morning Mr Robinson, how may I be of help to you today?" He greeted and asked Ethan alone, I discovered then that I had now been forgotten, he probably didn't remember that someone else was standing right by his side. I couldn't blame him either, if I wasn't married to Ethan, I guess I

Where did we go wrong? I wondered. "We'll put this in the keep pile," I told him and took the album out of his hands when we were done going through them. Ethan noticed that I wasn't being myself as I returned to sorting the stuff out, my hands were shaking and my moves were disoriented, he then came to my side and took the basket I was holding out of my hands. "Calm down Kate." He told me, looked me in the eyes and brought me in for a hug, rubbing soothing circles all over my back. I buried my face deep into his chest and inhaled his scent, which always seemed to calm me down whenever it looked like the world was falling apart."I can't even begin to imagine just how difficult this must be for you, but you have to stay strong and pull through, not because of me but rather because of your mum. You're doing this for her right?" He asked and I nodded. "Well you have to make her proud to the end, that's what she would have wanted and I know she's not here right now but what I do know

My mind had been at ease all morning, even when Dad had called and threatened me quite vividly, my mind was still at ease. Even when he had told me about another scandal breaking out, my mind was still at ease, and even as we were going through the articles that had just been released, my mind was still at ease. But as soon as I read through the contents of the articles, my mind began to race, they weren't just ordinary dating scandals, it was a pregnancy scandal. Someone had come out to claim that they were pregnant for Ethan, I didn't know how I was supposed to react to news like this, I was surprised no doubt and I wondered if Ethan could do such a thing to me. I turned to the man of the moment and he had the same look of surprise that was equally on my face as well, that was a good sign I guessed. He couldn't be surprised if it was true right? But what if it was indeed true and all he was doing was just feigning ignorance? What about that? What would I then do if that were the

As soon as we got back into the car, Ethan's phone rang, he pulled it out of his pocket, looked at the caller ID and rejected the call. Strange. Ethan never rejects phone calls. That was one of the things I had noticed about him, even if it was an unknown caller, he would still pick up it and talk to the person to find out who it was and if it was someone he didn't want to talk to, he would just let it continue to ring but reject a phone call, this was the first that I was seeing. "You should take your calls, it might have been important." I started casually, reaching to my side and strapping my seatbelt on. "There's no need, it's not an important call." He brushed my sentence off. So he knew who was calling, he just decided not to pick up the call. I also didn't say anything again and we began the drive back to the city. Ten minutes later, my mind was still very bothered and there was an unsettling feeling that was surrounding me, why? Because Ethan had rejected two more phone c

"Are you sure you read the articles very correctly Liam?" Ethan asked Liam once again to be certain that Liam knew what he was talking about. This started out as fun but it was slowly becoming absurd, was this making any sense to Dad? If he continued with this and I released the video evidence I had against him, which article did he think would generate the most buzz? Was it the article about the fact that Ethan Robinson cheated on his wife like he was the first person to ever cheat or the fact that a world-renowned philanthropist was found guilty of murdering his wife? Dad didn't want to play dirty games on me right now. It wouldn't be advisable for him because of the kind of headspace that I was in right now, I was ready to burn anything to the ground. If there was anyone or anything that wanted to hurt me, I was ready to burn it all to the ground and that headspace was called a dangerous headspace. "Did you just ask me that?" Liam responded to Ethan's question which he had aske

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
