"Say something Kate," Ethan said and I discovered that I had zoned out for quite some time now. "Oh, uh, um-um," I continued to stammer, my words not quite making any sense, I was flustered by how suddenly the spotlight had been cast on me. "Relax babe," Ethan said from the other side of the room where he was standing and he started making his way to where I was and he would soon be by my side. When he stood beside me, he started rubbing his hands over my back in a comforting manner, "Take your time, there's no pressure." He kept repeating, all the while still rubbing soothing circles all over my back. After about five minutes, I was confident that I was now calm and could compose myself, so I opened my mouth to speak, "How many ladies have come forward to make claims?" "They are five in total now." He answered me. "Are we going to be meeting with all five?" I continued to ask my question and I was happy that the person responding to the question was someone who was equally up to

"Why did you keep us waiting? Just because we're not CEO doesn't mean we don't have other things to attend to, you know?" A third voice spoke again. "Let's just get this over with please." The fourth person who was in the room added to. I noticed that it was only the lady who was sitting at the end of the table who kept quiet, she looked young and quite intimated if I can add, I noticed her but decided against saying anything too. Ethan drew one of the chairs that were opposite all of them for me and we sat down, facing them too, "Firstly, I apologize for being late, that was all my fault," Ethan started, clearing his throat too, "and secondly, this is my wife, Kate Robinson, I'm sure you all know who she is." Ethan made a brief introduction and I gave them a short wave, I could tell they were not too happy to see me, but there was nothing they could do, I was here and there was nothing they were going to do about it. "No one told us that she would be here, we didn't agree to this

What Ethan said just now must have been a prank because where was it even coming from? There was no logical connection with the words he had just spoken out of his mouth, there just wasn't any. I looked at the two of them again and the amazing thing was that they still maintained their pose in front of me, Ethan still had his arms tightly wrapped around her waist and Lucy's hands that were streaming over Ethan's shoulders were still there. "Are you drunk Ethan? What is this about?" I asked him and even attempted to take a step forward so I could be closer to him. He took a step back and it felt like he had slapped me across the face. My question was far-fetched intact, how could he have gotten drunk in Forty-five minutes? My mind was that maybe she was using something to threaten him, even as they were both standing beside each other, my mind kept telling me that she was probably holding a gun or something to him and if he didn't do as she wanted, she was going to shoot him, that w

Lucy and I were still both on the floor and I didn't know why but I foolishly believed that he would help me up instead of her, but the final hit was when he walked right past me and went to help Lucy up to her feet, I guess that was all the confirmation I needed, he was really serious about the divorce. I helped myself up and dusted the dirt off my clothes, it was time to move on, I looked at the both of them one more time, Ethan was still very fixated on making sure Lucy wasn't hurt in any way, I turned around and made a move to leave the room. When I stepped into the waiting and reception area on the floor of Ethan's office, I saw all his employees looking at me with pity in their eyes, they had heard everything that was going on, and they all knew, that was why they were looking at me with pity. I brought my phone out of my handbag and dialled the only person I considered my friend, that was if she hadn't betrayed me like Ethan did, no one not even me had seen Ethan's betrayal

"What is she doing here?" Was the first question Liam asked when he stepped out of our room and stopped at the top of the stairs, very close to the entrance of what used to be our room since I wouldn't be living here anymore, I couldn't call it my home anymore. "What are you doing here? Both of you?" Ethan asked back as well and from the tone of his voice, one could tell that he was prepared for a fight. "I asked you first, would you answer my question? What's going on? What's this news that I'm hearing about you two getting a divorce, is that true?" Liam demanded again, giving him another chance to explain himself. Ethan looked like he wanted to open his mouth and say something but before he could, Lucy pushed him to the side and stepped forward, to answer Liam's question I was guessing. "Yes, you're right. Everything you heard is true, they're getting a divorce." She confirmed, throwing a glance in my direction and smiling in an annoyingly sick manner. She was trying to get unde

What could they have discussed in that meeting to birth this? What could Lucy be possibly threatening him with? It must be something serious because Ethan was ready to literally throw away his entire life right now and all for what?? All for something only God knew. "I don't think that's any of your business, I'm not a child and I can do as I please, also I don't answer to anyone, especially not you," Ethan replied, answering the question Liam had asked him earlier about if he slept with Lucy, maybe that was the reason behind all of this. But based on his answer, I knew he didn't. Call me crazy but Ethan was looking into my eyes as he answered the question, and the fact that he left the question open-ended cleared my doubts again. He didn't answer yes or no to the question. I think I could boast to an extent about the fact that I knew Ethan and one thing about him was that he wasn't the type to beat around the bush. He always gave a clear yes and a clear no, he was never one to s

That's enough." I suddenly yelled out after I had grown tired of watching these two brothers tear themselves to pieces. They had been throwing each other punches for close to thirty minutes now and the rest of us who were onlookers were females. We couldn't exactly go into their midst and throw ourselves into them, all in the name of wanting to separate them, that wouldn't make any sense, it would be too risky on our parts as they were grown men and they were throwing some heavy punches and we could hurt ourselves in the process. If I were to step into their middle and they were to throw one punch at me, that would have some serious consequences on my health, I was sure about that, so observing them from a distance was the wise thing to do, it was the only thing I could do in reality. But after observing them for a while it looked like they weren't going to stop, their fight was getting more serious, and that was when I decided to intervene, I had to do something before one of them

I heard the bedroom door open and close when I was still crying and the funny thing was that I was still stupidly hoping that it would be Ethan, I had hoped he would have somehow realized his mistakes and he came to apologize, crazy right? I was still hoping anyway."Don't do this Kate, don't weep for that fool, don't shed one tear because of that man, you hear me?" I heard Liam's voice say to me instead. "He's right Kate, you shouldn't hurt yourself because of Ethan and this might sound crazy considering everything we just saw, but I think there's something else going on, there's more to this issue than we thought we knew," Emily said, voicing out the exact thoughts that had been dancing around in my head for a while now. I nodded my head to let her know that I suspected that the same thing was going on, but Ethan broke our line of thoughts, "Don't you try and make any excuse for that man again. You even told him he'd never see Aurora again and what did he do? He did nothing, he di

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
