"You should have allowed him to do it all the same, we love toast and egg in America, I would still have eaten it, you didn't have to cuss him out Grandma," I told her pointedly, adjusting myself so that I was now sitting closer to the edge where she was too.

"You have to apologize to him, Grams," I told her and she let out a huge groan.

"There's no need to be so dramatic, I'm sure he'll get over it," Grandma told me but one could see that she was attempting to wave it off.

"No one's being dramatic Grandma, it's just you, now go makeup with your husband," I told her and she smiled at me.

This was how things had been for the past year. I remember when I told them that I was planning to move here, they had been so overjoyed and they welcomed the idea permanently.

Of course, they weren't happy that Ethan and I got divorced but since there was nothing they could do about it, the situation couldn't be helped, what we focused on was moving on and they supported my decision to move here

    That's right, Liam, Emily, and Aurora were coming to visit me in Australia and that wasn't all the surprise I had in store, there was going to be another groundbreaking surprise, but that was going to be later on. Thankfully there was no traffic on my way to the airport and when I got to the airport, I simply parked my car and I was out of the car and ran straight into the airport, clutching my beautifully made sign tightly in my hands. I seemed to have made it just in time because the arrival gates just opened and people were just trooping out, I took that as my cue and held up my sign tightly. It didn't even take long before they came out, pieces of luggage and items of baggage and all, I saw Liam and Emily looking around for me, I watched them as they were looking all around them like clueless chickens and I think God too must have sensed that Emily was slowly growing frustrated, so Liam looked my way and he smiled. He tapped Emily and when she turned to him to answer him, he p

    Flashback to when Lucy came backI couldn't believe my very eyes when she walked in, so she was the famous Lucy who broke Ethan's heart. When I first heard about her and the things she did, I hated the very thought of her and thought she was the reason Ethan had turned out like this. I hated her immediately and the funniest thing was that I didn't even bother to find out what she looked like, I was so focused on feeling bad for Ethan, that I realized now that I should have dug deeper into who she was and what she looked like even. Had it meant I had done so, I wouldn't have been blindsided to this extent, she was the definition of stunning, I could see why Ethan fell for her, she was so beautiful and neat, and even though I was a woman myself, I found myself drooling a bit at her sight. And although she came back and the reason she came back was to make amends, she was here for Ethan's forgiveness but how could I trust her? If she had done such a thing to Ethan once upon a time, ho

    When I told Ethan again, he refused, he said he didn't want to have anything to do with her again, he didn't trust her and he felt like she was scheming her way back into his life, Ethan felt like she had ulterior motives but I couldn't help but believe her for some reason. I knew from the day I spoke with her at the laboratory when they wanted to get our blood samples and see if we would be good matches for Ethan, that I felt that she was a woman who knew she had done some wrong and hurtful things in the past. But I also discovered that she was a woman who was seeking genuine forgiveness and all she wanted at this point was just to move on with her life and that was what I had come to convince Ethan of, I wanted to convince him to give her a chance, and that we should hear her out at the very least. "Kate! Kate!! Kate!!!" I heard my name being called and I was jolted back to reality and from the look on Ethan's face when I met his eyes, it seemed like he had been calling me for a

    Whatever damage had been incurred before the time before the wall was mended, that was going to be the end, it wasn't going to get more damaged, that was the chance he had been given and he was ready to throw it all away, I only hoped that he wouldn't regret it later in the future. Since Ethan himself had ended the conversation, there was no point standing around and observing his sleeping position. With that thought, I stood up from the chair and left the room, not without taking one final glance at him that is. My mind was unsettled and it came as no surprise to me when I couldn't sleep in the night, I just kept turning and tossing about in bed and when I couldn't take it anymore, I decided to get up and find a solution to my predicament, and the solution was waiting for me in the kitchen. When I got there, I heard some sounds coming from the kitchen and I immediately had goosebumps all over my body, I hope we weren't getting robbed. I spotted a table lamp at the corner I was goi

    Back to the present time"I still don't understand all of this; it's still not making enough sense to me." Emily voiced out after our explanation, despite our numerous explanations. I mean, it wasn't a difficult thing to understand. Well, it was all confusing because the various times each incident happened had overlapped each other, and so we faced some difficulties while explaining to them how things were, but we made sure to iron everything out all the same.It was because of this that I was even more perplexed when Emily said she didn't understand everything we had just said, and the crazy thing was that everyone in the room with us agreed with her. "I'm confused. Why don't you understand this? We made it very clear, didn't we? Is everyone on the same page with her? You don't understand the explanation we've been giving for almost two hours now?" Ethan groaned out when everyone nodded their ears, not quite believing his ears. "This is unbelievable." He muttered quietly under h

    "I wouldn't know but I didn't think much of it, not until Ethan got out of the hospital that is.""What happened after that?" She asked me further, letting me know that she was listening to the way I was explaining this with rapt attention. "She got in touch with me again and requested an audience, but this time, she wanted to get an audience with both Ethan and I. Ethan refused at first but he eventually gave in and so we had the conversation and it was there we discovered that my dad had plans for us," I told them. "Plans? What kind of plans?" It was now Liam's turn to ask the questions."It was Lucy who revealed to us that Dad was planning to come after Robinson Industries and that my dad had approached her and asked if she could confidently sway Ethan, so he would have the chance to swoop in and take over. That was how we began our search for how we could counter him and luckily, it was about the same time that grandma and grandpa visited us and they brought us some evidence tha

    She slammed into me and I returned the hug as well too, "I was just telling Ethan about how impeccable your timing is." I told her when we separated and helped her with her luggage, wheeling them inside the house. "Ethan is here already?" She asked and I nodded, "Yeah, he got here about an hour ago or so." I told her. "That's a bummer, I thought I was going to get here before he did." She said. "Why didn't you fly together too?" I asked her if they could have just flown together from New York. "If we flew together to Australia, where you were, it was going to raise suspicions and you know better than anyone that your father always has people watching us, watching our every move." She said and she was right, she had just spoken the absolute truth. When we got to the living room, I knew Liam and Emily would have been curious about who our surprise guest was and they didn't disappoint because I could practically see their jaws on the floor as soon as Lucy and I entered the living ro

    "So what do we do now? I mean what is the next course of action we're taking? We already have everything we can need in the palm of our hands, we can't just sit around and do nothing with it right?" Emily asked the singular question I had been wanting to ask all this while.I didn't know why, but everyone immediately averted their gaze from me when Emily asked her question and it was overwhelming, and it was overwhelming because I felt like a huge burden had been placed on my shoulders. I suddenly felt like I was responsible for this huge weight they had placed on my shoulders and I could tell you, it wasn't that good of a feeling. "Oh um, I'm not going to lie, I haven't thought that far yet, I had always believed this whole drama we were putting up was going to last more than a year, so I haven't had time to properly think things too," I revealed it to them. There was no point lying anyway, if I resorted to lying, it wasn't going to help matters not even the slightest bit and it co

    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
