"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.

    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

    I only hoped they wouldn't hate him because of what happened between us, he was still their son anyway and I was the stranger they took in and treated as their own and this stranger would be forever grateful to them.I shared one last hug with the whole family and as if she knew I was leaving, Aurora burst out into tears when I handed her back to her mum, and she cried very loudly."Look, even Rory doesn't want you to leave," Emily told me and tried to pet her but she would not stop crying. Everyone tried but she didn't stop, not until they handed her back to me that is, it was only then that she stopped."I think Rory just gave herself a new mum," Liam commented and everyone laughed. I decided to wait around for a while longer, at least till Aurora quieted down. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait for long because she would keep quiet and fall asleep in a matter of a few minutes. I handed her back to Emily afterwards and she took her to her room to set her down for a nap. "Don't be a

    I gulped harshly as Ethan continued to draw close to where Jake and I were standing. For some reasons unknown to me, I was very scared of what was going to happen next, different scenarios were running all around in my head. I imagined that when he was at arm's length, maybe he would draw his hands back and slap me, or worse still, he would get into a fight with Jake and we'd have a brawl on our hands, those were the crazy scenarios that were roaming vividly in my head. Although a lot of scenarios were playing in my head, none of them was nice, none of the scenarios had a happy ending, so I guess one could understand why I drew in a sharp breath and said a quick prayer when Ethan was now at arm's length.I guess Jake must have seen the enraged look on his face from a mile away because as soon as he was almost in front of us, Jake instinctively, in a pure reflex action, pulled me back so that our positions were switched. So instead of me being Ethan's first point of contact, Jake ha

    I could tell Jake was enjoying this, he loved the fact that Ethan had slipped up and he was enjoying this, he was enjoying it a little too much if you ask me."What it means," he continued, taking his sweet time before talking as well, "what it means is that she's free to do whatever she likes, whenever she likes, and with whomever she likes too and there's nothing you can do about it. She's not a Robinson anymore, so you can't trample over her or even force her to do your bidding again." Jake finished. I knew his little monologue must have surely completely pissed off Ethan because he drew his arms back and I was sure that had I not intervened again, we would have had another brawl on our hands."That's enough! Seriously!" I told them, although the last part was majorly directed towards Jake. I fully turned to him and told him again, leaving no room for argument, "Please excuse us Jake, I have to talk with Ethan." Thankfully, Jake also recognised that I wasn't to be played with in

    The last part of his sentence gave me the push I needed to do what I was about to do, no longer was I going to lounge around and allow myself to be disrespected, enough was enough, I was going to put an end to all of this by myself.Ethan hadn't even rested for five seconds when I brought my hand up and slapped him across the face, and I slapped him hard. How did I know? Firstly it was because the sound of the slap resonated very loudly in the open space as there was silence and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy, it felt good, to be honest, I was indeed crazy. Secondly was because my hand which I had slapped him with was hurting like crazy. It was like his cheek and jaw which I had slapped made of steel or something. I knew there was no such thing as he wasn't a robot but it was very hard all the same."Listen to me and listen to me real good Ethan Robinson, don't you ever, in your miserable life speak to me that way, ever again, and don't you ever bring my mum into any of

    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
