"Ethan! How're you feeling baby?" His mum asked him the moment she was by his side, I could tell she wanted to hug him but she didn't want to hurt him as she didn't know where and how exactly to hug him. So she just settled for standing by his side with her hands on his shoulders. "I'm fine ma." He answered looking up to her, his voice was very hoarse and dry. "Can I see my baby niece or nephew now?" He asked turning to Emily. Emily just smiled and walked towards him with the baby in her arms. "It's your baby niece," she started and positioned herself in a way that he could see her face without having to sit up or anything. "Have you decided on a name yet?" I turned to them and asked. "We have actually," Liam answered my question and everyone was piqued up with interest, curious to hear from the new parents what they decided on."Her name is Aurora Robinson," Emily responded.Aurora, it was such a beautiful name and I saw everyone give approving nods around the room. "Hey bro,"

The nurse had asked me again to be sure that I knew what I wanted and I was sure. I wanted to see Ethan and I wanted to see him right now. The nurse knew better than to argue with me, so she only nodded and helped me sit up. "Will you be able to stand ma'am?" She asked, taking note of my legs which looked frail and very wobbly. "Yes, I'm sure I'll manage on my own," I told her and she nodded her head before walking to the room's entrance to get me some slippers. I wondered why no one was in the room with me. I wasn't angry or anything like that, I just wished someone would have stayed with me in the room, but then again, who could? Liam couldn't leave his wife and their new daughter to come and attend to me neither could Ethan's parents leave their temporarily paralyzed son just to come and attend to me. This is where family distinctions came in, this was where my family was supposed to be, supporting me and staying by my side but it was obvious I didn't have any family, at least

I was expecting this reaction from the whole family. When I woke up and I knew that I remembered everything, I knew it was time to make some difficult decisions and I felt like it was up to me to help Ethan and the rest of the family make these decisions. If it was left to them, they would spend the rest of their lives loathing Lucy for what she had done to Ethan, but when I spoke to Lucy, back when we were about to be tested for the blood transfusion Ethan would be needed when I spoke to her then, I felt nothing but remorse from her. She knew what she had done was wrong and she regretted it, I also knew I was taking a huge risk by trusting her but my mind just told me to believe her, she regretted, deeply what she had done to Ethan and all she wanted now was to earn his forgiveness and the forgiveness of the entire family of course. And I understood, more than anyone else, what she was trying to do. The truth was that Ethan and I could try all we wanted but the truth of the matter

I watched as Ethan tried to lift the dumbbell off the floor again and he failed to do so. It was quite funny and sad to watch at the same time, it was funny because he would make these weird facial expressions whenever he wanted to do so, lift them I mean.And it was sad to watch because he was carrying the smallest size of the weights. Even though I could lift them with little to no stress, Ethan was frustrated that this simple task was proving to be difficult for him. It was bound to be like that anyways, his cast had just come off some two weeks ago, so he was just regaining control of his arms and legs, he couldn't start his physiotherapy until the casts had come off. When we were leaving the hospital, the doctors had opted for him to use a wheelchair as an avenue for him to be able to move around without any issues.Ethan had freaked out and flat-out refused when he had first heard about it, his words were that he didn't want to be confined to a wheelchair.It was after much em

The weeks following Ethan's confession were filled with awkwardness and tensed energy and it was mostly because of me. It was funny because I was the one who had rejected Ethan but again, I was also the one who was being so weird about it. Ethan was acting indifferent, but I could tell my actions were hurting him but I just couldn't help myself. I hadn't spoken to him in the last two weeks, although he's been trying nonstop to make me talk but I refused to budge. I always woke up extra early and prepared breakfast and I would finish my breakfast before he came to the dining table. And whenever it was time to go for his physiotherapy, I would just help him into the car and no matter how hard he tried to converse with me as we drove to the physiotherapist clinic, I just wouldn't respond to any of his conversational attempts. I didn't understand why I was being like this too but I narrowed it down to a defense mechanism on my part, because Ethan had been my torturer for the longest ti

So last night happened huh? I was still unbelievably floating in mid-air at the memory of what had happened between us last night. Things didn't go beyond that kiss, although I wished they did but Ethan wasn't fully healed yet and I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize the progress he's made so far. Even though Ethan himself didn't mind, I was still considerate of him and I didn't want to hurt him, so I put an end to our little kids that were becoming heated, much to Ethan's dismay. I was excited to see him this morning, it was with that motivation that I got out of bed, did my morning routine, well most of it anyways and raced downstairs where I knew Ethan would be cooking breakfast no doubt. I skipped the stairs as I was racing downstairs but on getting there, I was disappointed to find an empty kitchen. That was weird, Ethan had said he would make breakfast this morning. I went on a search for him in his room which was just at the corner of the kitchen, we had moved his r

The words that left my Dad's mouth a few minutes ago were still ringing in my ears. I still couldn't make any sense out of what he had said, I couldn't believe it either. Was that possible? I remembered Mum was in an accident, so how could I have killed her? "It was your fault, you took her away from me. And as if taking her away was enough, you still had the same face like hers and you've been torturing me with that face for as long as I can remember. So I do hate you, Kate, it's what you deserve." He spat at me, a cold and unemotional look filled his face as he spoke. Was I having a nightmare? What was going on? None of what was unfolding in my eyes right now made sense. I had a lot of questions and I hoped to at least get some answers. "Dad? What are you talking about? Mum died in an accident. You told me, the whole world saw it, it was a hit and run." I explained to him in case it was foggy. Could old age be distorting his memories? I wished there was some sort of reasonable ex

I was still sort of in a daze about what Ethan had told me. I knew mum had parents, I remembered meeting them a few times in my younger years, they didn't live in New York, they were from Australia, and that was another continent entirely, so I rarely saw them. I haven't seen them since the day we had mum's funeral. I remembered they kept their distance away from me that day, the twelve year old me didn't understand why they were like that, I had just thought they were missing mum like I was, so I hadn't thought much about it. But thinking about it now, I couldn't help but wonder why they had treated me like that on that day? Had something happened prior to the funeral that I wasn't aware of? They weren't harsh people, I guess, it was just that I didn't see them much or know them well enough to know the kind of people they were.I would get my answers today, or at least that was what I hoped. "Are you sure you want to do this? We don't have to, if you don't want to know?" Ethan ask

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
