I still quite couldn't believe Kate was staring back at us in the room. Long gone was the supposed conversation that was going on between Ethan and me and the ongoing conference meeting. It seemed like everything was going to be fine now that Kate had woken up and she was back with us. It felt like a huge rock that had been weighing down on my chest for a while now had been suddenly lifted and I could breathe. I felt nothing but immense relief and peace as I stared into the brown orbs of Kate's eyes, I wish she could feel how grateful I was to her at that moment. I was thankful to her for fighting through and waking up. I thought all my problems had been solved now that Kate was up, little did I know, Kate waking up was the start of more problems to be encountered, it was the beginning of other problems I would still face. The initial shock of Kate's waking up was broken by Stephanie, who squealed in excitement and rushed to Kate's bedside. Mum had been standing beside Kate before

Chapters return to Kate's POV. I tried to fall back into my peaceful slumber but no matter how hard I tried to, it was proving difficult. Too difficult for my liking. I had been floating in the clouds, enjoying the peace, when suddenly I started hearing a beeping sound. It was like a hard jolt back to reality because just a minute ago I was in a state of complete bliss, then all of a sudden, I started feeling like I was falling.I had no idea what was going on, but I kept falling and it was like I was falling from a high place by the look of things, I wasn't stopping anytime soon and if I kept falling like this, I would crash into whatever I landed on. The beeping sound became more intensified and it irritated me to no end, I tried to block out the sound so I wouldn't have to wake up from this peaceful slumber but all my efforts proved abortive. My eyes fluttered open at first and I heard my name being called from a distance, "Kate!!" The voice called out to me. I looked around t

I had woken up now, what was I to do? I needed to figure out just how much time had passed since I have been laying here. I don't think much time has passed because everyone looks the same but if I was going to move forward, I needed to know what had happened exactly.I heard Mrs. Robinson tell Liam and one other person whom I couldn't recognize that they should get a doctor for me. I noticed the other man had been staring at me with fierce intensity for quite some time now. Frankly speaking, it was making me uncomfortable. Even though I wanted to say something in objection, my throat was parched beyond imagination so I couldn't exactly use my voice at the moment. But from what I could decipher from his gaze, he was looking at me with a mixture of longing and regret. His gaze made me suddenly curious, who was he? And why was he looking at me in such a way? I wanted answers but I guess I was going to have to wait. "What is this? You suddenly grow a backbone the moment you start to

I was still trying to decipher what exactly was going on and what was causing the current chaos that was about to break out in this room. If I didn't know who this man was, the least they could do was just to tell me who he was right?Why were they acting this way? They were making me feel bad and scared. Was he important to my life? If yes, who was he and what part was he playing in my life to make the others react this way?Liam had left the room a while ago to go get the doctor just like Papa Robinson had requested. The others in the room, which included Emily, Mr, and Mrs. Robinson, and also the stranger, were all looking back and forth with each other.It was almost like they were having a silent conversation with one another, a conversation which I was not part of. "What's going on? Is something wrong? Did I do something wrong?" I decided to break the uncomfortable silence and get to the bottom of this whole issue myself. "No Kate, nothing is wrong, everything is all good. We'

Jake looked unsettled, his eyes kept darting back and forth at Ethan's face. He needed to be calmed down but who was going to calm him down? "Have you told her?" He demanded again from Ethan. "What are you going on about again this time? Are you high or something? Did your drug supplier change your dosage?" Ethan asked Jake, I felt like he was taunting Jake now. He wasn't showing concern for him anymore, he was taunting him, but why? Did they have some kind of feud between themselves?"You asshole!!" Jake yelled at Ethan and I saw that he was trying very hard to keep a lid on his anger. "What do you want Jake? Haven't you caused us enough trouble as it is?" Ethan calmly asked again. I guess I was right when I guessed just now that they have bad blood between them. But what exactly was Jake talking about? "I haven't even done anything yet Ethan, I haven't done nothing yet, you just wait till I'm done with you. You haven't seen the last of me Ethan." Jake seethed further in his fa

"You want a divorce?" Ethan asked me again dumbly. "I'm sure I didn't stutter the first and second time I mentioned it." I snapped at him."Why darling? Why a divorce so suddenly?" Mrs. Robinson asked me this."He could have killed me ma! I refuse to remain in such an abusive relationship, I don't know why you're so different from Liam or what made you different but there's evil in you and I can feel it. I don't want to be anywhere near that." I told him my truth.Why would I want to stay with him anyways? I had been surrounded by people who didn't care for me for most of my life, I had always imagined what kind of man I would marry. I made a promise to myself that I would only marry someone whom I loved and who also loved me back. I owed that to myself at least, but after what I just saw with Ethan, I discovered I had been mistaken. There was no trace of love in Ethan and I wasn't ready to settle with that. "But I've apologized to you, Kate. I've been putting myself through torme

The whole family was in chaos. We didn't know what to do better still, whom to tend to first. Liam had just told us Ethan had been in an accident and it was the same time Emily's water had broken. Was it supposed to be today or was it the shock of Ethan's news that made her water break? I guess I wouldn't know because the baby was coming either way. Liam seemed to be frozen as he didn't know what to do, he just stood there, staring at the puddle by Emily's feet, unmoving, he just stood and stared, he was obviously frozen but he would soon be snapped out of his reverie when Emily let out a pained grunt and slapped him right in the face. You heard me right, Emily slapped him. It was such a comical sight and I would have laughed, save for the situation at hand. It was expected for Liam to react this way, it was their first child after all. "Liam, pull yourself together right now. Your wife needs you and so does your brother." His mum came into his front and tapped on his cheeks light

After the doctor had gone back into the operating room, there was still some argument about who was going to donate blood for Ethan. I didn't mind whosoever blood it was, as long as Ethan got it and it was able to make him safe. His mum, on the other hand, was hellbent on the fact that Lucy was not going to donate even a single drop of blood to Ethan, even after the doctor had given her clear instructions on what should be done, she still disagreed with the nurse. I knew she was only looking out for her son but time was fast-moving, if she didn't allow these people to do their jobs, there would be no son for her to look after. After having this revelation in my head, I discovered it was up to me to do something that would help the matter at hand. "Ma!" I called out to her and sat her down in the chair in the waiting area, "I don't know or probably know and just don't remember what she has done to you and the family, but please, Let us try and save Ethan first. I believe that should

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
