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

"I can't believe that no good, low life, backstabbing, little asshole watched her trample all over you like you're some sort of useless piece of paper, I mean how could he?" Liam continued to rant from the moment we left the apartment, up until we wheeled all my pieces of luggage into the elevator, even up until we got out and dumped everything at the back of the trunk of the car we had brought here, he kept going on and on about how he was going to make Ethan pay for the way he treated us, most especially me. "I can't believe he had the guts to treat you like that! It would have been better if he had stopped there, to make matters worse, he even brought in his ex and it would have been so much better if it was just an ordinary ex, but she isn't no ordinary ex." He continued his ranting speed as he drove out of the building's underground parking lot and into the streets. He didn't stop, he continued to call Ethan all sorts of colorful names. I used the word colorful because there w

"So what's up?" Liam asked when we were going and Emily turned to me, telling me to answer the question. Oh right, I had something I wanted to tell them. "Oh okay, what I wanted to say was that can we not tell them about what happened? I mean Mum and Dad? I don't want to make this thing bigger than it already is plus I don't want Ethan to get into more trouble." I told them and they exchanged a look between themselves. "We won't tell them if that's what you want but I'll just add that anything that has to do with Ethan, a lot of publicity is usually involved, so even if we don't tell them, they're going to find out about it one way or the other," Liam explained to me and to be honest, he was very right, there was no way I could keep this from them, no matter how much I tried to, but one thing about me was that, I was as resilient as they came, I wouldn't back down without a fight. "I understand, but let's not say anything, let's just hold on and observe how things go from here, ho

"He's not up to anything ma, he's just being the attention-seeking asshole he always is." Liam spat out from behind us, I guess they had finished taking my pieces of luggage into the house. "I refuse to believe that, I'm sure there's something else going on." Mrs Robinson told him but it was of no use as Liam had already come to his conclusion and getting him to think otherwise would be impossible."Whatever you say, mum. Now please let's allow Kate to get some rest, it's been a long day for her." Liam suggested and I couldn't even hide the look of relief that came on my face.Everyone was in agreement with Liam's suggestion and they told Emily to show me to my room, we got up and Liam came to take Aurora out of my arms, and we started making our way upstairs."What an incredibly long day." She started as we were going upstairs. "I know right? And the crazy thing is that it's not even over." I added as well as we continued up the flight of stairs that would lead us to where we were

I sucked in a deep breath as I stood in front of the mirror to adjust my blazer, I palmed it down more, attempting to straighten it out more and get rid of all the imaginary creases it had.I was quite nervous you see, and whenever I got nervous like that, what I would do was I would pay extra attention to myself or whatever I was putting on, I would automatically get more picky. The reason I was nervous today was simple: Today was D-day. Today was the day Ethan had put on the letter he sent me from the court. We were going to appear in court today and when we did, our divorce was going to be finalized. I had been in denial all week, not believing all that was going on but today when I got a message straight from the court, it dawned on me that all of this was real. Denying it hadn't made it disappear after all, so the only option I had left was to accept it.Accept it and face it and although I wouldn't understand what was going on in Ethan's head, and what could be his reason for

"Can we eat, please? I'm feeling famished." I changed the subject subtly, no one even noticed or they did and pretended not to say anything. We all took our seats and dug into the food, the whole room was still very silent and it was making me uncomfortable but I wasn't going to say anything. Halfway through breakfast, one of the maids came and told us we had a guest, there was this silly part of me that was still wishing it would be Ethan, maybe he had finally come to his senses and he wanted to come and beg for my forgiveness, the thought of that lifted my spirits but I would be disappointed when our guest came in and it turned out to be the lawyer who was going to be representing me in court. "Good morning everyone." He greeted with an extra pep in his voice. We all greeted him back and when we offered him a seat on the dining table, he decided to choose the empty seat that was beside me. It wasn't like I didn't like him or anything, he just always behaved like someone that was

We sat on opposite sides of the room when we entered. Ethan, together with Lucy and their lawyer took the left side of the room while the rest of us, I meant the whole family and I, with our lawyer too, took the right side. An invisible line has been drawn between us. "All arise!" The clerk of the court yelled out. This was my first time in a courtroom and I didn't know exactly what to do but I saw everyone jump to their feet as soon as the clerk yelled that out, so I just blindly followed suit as well. When we stood up, a door opened from the right corner of the room and a judge walked into the room. He was an old man, not too old but not exactly young either, he looked like he was in his mid-sixties, he entered the courtroom with a bunch of folders in his hand and took a seat in the middle chair that was arranged on the small podium. He introduced himself but I didn't catch his name. I was looking around, trying to feed my eyes. What I meant was that I was trying to capture with

Now he was going to believe that I only ever cared for him because of his money and that wasn't true. Although there were times when we had still been newly married he wasn't the best person to live with but he got better along the line and not once did I think of staying with him because of money. "Will the plaintiff and the defendant come closer to the podium please?" The judge said to us, interrupting my flow of thoughts. I looked at Mr. Williams, I was quietly asking him if I was among the people the judge had just called and he nodded his head, letting me know that I was among them. The surprising thing was that it was only Ethan and I who stood up and moved closer to where the judge had called us. When we were finally in front of the judge, he looked at the both of us. "Mr Robinson, please take those sunglasses off your face." That was the first thing the judge said to us and that was what Ethan did, although he had removed the protective gear away from his eyes, I still ref

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
