Hired For The Billionaire's Son Chapter 85
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

"Are you all packed?" Emily peeped into the room and smiled at me, looking at my surroundings as well. "Almost," I responded to her and she opened the door wider and fully stepped into the room. "Anything I can help you with?" She looked around, wondering what was left for me to pack and how she could help me with it too. "Just a few things in the closet," I told her and she nodded and turned around to make her way into the closet, wheeling one of my half-full suitcases along with her too. "You know you don't have to leave." I heard her say from inside the closet again and I sighed heavily and quite loudly, I wanted her to hear, I didn't want to have this conversation again. "Wait, listen to me, Kate. I know we've had this conversation dozens of times but I have to at least try and convince you." She argued again but it was all futile. All her arguments and that of every one were all going to fall on deaf ears, my mind was already made up, I had decided on what I now wanted to d

"I don't want to see any of you, especially her." He told us without even lifting his head and I knew the her he was referring to was me. His comment also got on my nerves and it was then I even noticed that Lucy was nowhere to be found. She had turned her back on him at the first encounter of a problem. "Why don't you want to see me, Ethan? What could I have possibly done to you? What could we have possibly done to you? We are the only ones you have, you know? Look around you Ethan, Lucy is nowhere to be found right now, is she? We are still all you're left with." I spat at him, looking at him with absolute disgust, he had angered me now. "Why don't you go fuck that fancy pants lawyer of yours." He spat at me and I backed away from him in shock. "So that was what that was all about? You were jealous? Is that why you lashed out? Is that why you almost killed an innocent man? Because you were jealous?" I seethed at him. "Stop deluding yourself. You must rate yourself if you're thin

As Emily and I were going down the flight of stairs that would take us to the living room, my mind continued to wonder if Ethan had indeed decided to show his face here.But could he show his face here? After everything he said and did? Would he have the guts to come here? What would he say in fact? Would he apologize for being a massive asshole or what?As we continued our journey downstairs, my thoughts then took another direction, what if he was here to introduce Lucy to his parents? What if he wasn't here to see me but he was here to ask for their blessings to move forward with his relationship with Lucy? That could be possible too, he could be here for that as well."Are you going to tell us who the big guest is?" Emily asked Liam again and I suddenly realized that Liam was yet to tell us who the guest was. I had forgotten that he hadn't told us that it was Ethan, that had just been the conclusion I formed in my head. Who else could it be then? I wondered but I couldn't think of

Jake stopped us and took a seat in one of the swing sets that was in the garden. I didn't know why exactly it was built, but I guessed that they had it built in case someone wanted to enjoy the cool outdoor breeze. The spot we were in right now was a good place because the wind was blowing gently and a tree had been planted in the place. It had been perfectly planted because it had cast a shade about the place where the bench or whatever was.Hence my reason for calling it the perfect spot."Take a seat, Kate." He told me when he had sat down and had made himself comfortable, he even patted the empty seat beside him, he was telling me to sit down. "Thank you Jake, but I can't sit for long, I have a flight to catch," I revealed to him and he gave me a deadpan look. "It's a private flight, isn't it? I know they wouldn't let you go all the way to Australia on a commercial flight." He commented likewise, talking like he knew the Robinsons so well. He was talking like he was a very clos

My whole body trembled with unbridled fear when Liam broke the news to me, all I wanted was just to leave this place without any unnecessary and unwanted drama attached to it but apparently, it was too much to ask for and I wouldn't have the chance to leave like that. A battle was going to occur, and was I prepared for it? Not at all in any way but was I going to run away? Not a chance. I was going to stay, stand my ground and fight this. I stood up from the swing set and Jake immediately followed suit as well, "Kate calm down." He started, trying to pacify me and the funniest thing was that Liam seemed to be on his side as well. "He's right Kate, you need to calm down." He added as well and I realized then that they had misinterpreted my actions. From the way I stood up and all, they probably thought I was going to do something crazy but that wasn't the case. "Will you guys calm down!!? I'm not planning to do anything crazy!" I yelled at them when they kept looking at me with cra

"How is it fair huh? Tell me! How is any of this fair on me? I'm the one that has to live like a prisoner, a slave to her past for the rest of my life, he has pretty much ruined me for every other person." I fully revealed.I was now beginning to grasp and also accept the reality of what had come down on me, and after I got over this pain if I ever got over it, then I doubt I'd ever want to open up my heart to anyone or even ever want myself to be vulnerable again. The truth was that I had learned hard lessons about my relationship with Ethan. He was my first everything and now I was going to make sure he's my last everything too. "I'm just telling you to be objective about things, about this particular situation you're currently in." Jake tried once again to make me change my mind but there was no way he would get through to me about this particular issue. "What's there to be objective about? It's right there, written in the sky even, it was crystal clear, he used me." I whispered

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
