Thank you for reading :-)
Natalie followed Zane into the VIP suite, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and frustration. She hated it when people did her favors because she believed humans were selfish beings and never did anything for free but the pain was so much that she couldn't argue with him.The brightness of the room contrasted sharply with the bleeding wound above her eyebrow, and she struggled to maintain her composure. She was about to lose her balance when strong arms held her in position. Natalie turned to look at Zane and her heart skipped a beat as she looked into eyes that looked so blue like a sky.Someone coughed and snapped them back to reality making them jump apart like they had been electrocuted. “Are you guys a couple? I can get you a private room after we dress that wound.” Ian laughed.“Shut up Ian!” Zane growled.Ian Quin was the current director of the Quins’s Hospital Group. He had been abroad and recently returned after a few years since his father was retiring. He was a handsome man
Back at the station, Ethan looked at the Detective unable to answer the question, and ran a frustrated hand in his hair. He didn't know because he never thought about it and that hurt him. His heart clenched painfully making it feel like an iron hand reached inside his chest and tried to squeeze the life out of him. ‘Why do I keep disappointing the woman I love?’ He thought before he looked up again.“I'm not sure, Detective. Rose has a pure heart and wouldn't hurt anyone. So, I can't seem to figure out why anyone would target her twice.” He explained.The Detective remained silent for a second before he spoke, “Then maybe could it be because of you? Could someone want to hurt you through her?”“I'm not sure.” It pained him But that was the truth and it was disappointing even for him to give such a response. “Our marriage was a secret and only a few know about it. I can't think of anyone who knows who would benefit from killing her. But please find the culprit as soon as possible. “
“Take a walk with me!!” Anderson said to Ethan. They walked silently for some time in the gardens. Anderson looked deep in thought as he placed his hands behind his back when he finally spoke, “Did you see that? He will never take your side and if I die today, he will fight you for that company, and not even my will can save you when the shareholders turn against you!”“Why not just give it to him then?” Anderson turned and hit Ethan in the head unexpectedly, “You ungrateful little brat!” “Ouch! Grandpa!” Ethan complained. Anderson stopped in his tracks and sighed heavily, “Giving him the position is something I'll never do. You need to secure it and make sure the company doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Can I trust you with that?” Ethan looked at his grandfather and noticed that he wasn't telling him everything. There was something he was hiding but decided not to push him any further. “Yes.” “Good. Now, when are you bringing Rose back home? You two need a son very quickly s
Laura Andrea Sinclair MotherDaughterFriend1984 ~ 2004Ethan sat at his mother's grave and looked at it with a broken heart. He had arrived two hours ago but still hadn't said a word. He was broken, hurt, and ashamed as he ran his hands on the words written boldly. After his confrontation with his father, he immediately got on his private jet and flew to Canmore town. It was a very small town with a small population, but that was what She requested in her will. The instructions were too clear and well planned it was almost as if she knew she was going to die. Laura had a weak heart, she was on a list for a transplant when the surgery went wrong and she didn't make it. Ethan was only ten years old at the time. Andrew however, remarried six Months after her death Which raised curious concerns. Being the most powerful family in Suncity meant they always had eyes on them. Many media houses speculated that he was already cheating before his wife died. But that was dismissed since no
Ethan choked at the question and stared at the innocent-looking girl, “What's your name, princess?” He asked.“Daisy!” She responded cheerfully. “What about you?”“My name is Ethan.” Ethan smiled.“So can you be my play, Dad? My friends laugh at us at school because we don't have a dad.” Daisy said with a sad faceEthan hesitated. He didn't want to make a promise he couldn’t keep. He found her extremely adorable, but he lived far away in Suncity. What if he gave her force hope and only ended up disappointing her?“I’m sorry, kid. I can’t.” Ethan said sadly, “But I can get you something nice before I leave.”“Okay. I guess that’s fine. Can you at least help me convince Mummy to give me a pass? I don't want to dance at the school concert!"“I don’t know if that will work in your favor.” Ethan roughed her hair, making a giggle escape her throat. He watched as her eyes shut while she laughed at the way he played with her. The more he looked at her, the more she looked like Rose. If not
The school auditorium buzzed with excitement as parents found their seats, chatting loudly before the concert started. Rose walked slowly, her hand gripping Daisy’s a bit tighter than usual. Her heart raced, but she couldn’t pinpoint why. Daisy had been unusually excited all week, insisting she had someone special to introduce.Could it be? She wondered but shook off the thought and figured it was impossible. What would he be doing in such a small town anyway?“Mommy, hurry up! We have to find him!” Daisy tugged impatiently, pulling her mother through the crowded hallway.“Find who, sweetheart?” Rose asked, trying to keep her tone light even though her nerves were on edge. “You’ll see!” Daisy said a secretive smile on her lips.‘My Daddy looks a lot like Caleb! I’ll help mummy finally find happiness so she can stop crying herself to sleep most nights!’ Daisy thought as she bit her bottom lip.Marie, Rose’s aunt, followed behind with Caleb, who seemed less interested in the concert and
As Ethan's anger flared, he took a menacing step toward Mason, his face flushed with rage as his grey eyes darkened like a powerful storm. The idea of another man laying claim to Rose and potentially being Daisy's father was more than he could bear. The words Rose spoke hit him in the gut and shattered his hope.His fists clenched at his sides, his gaze locked on Mason and all he saw was red. “I’ll break every fucking bone in your body.” He growled. “Ethan, stop,” Rose’s voice pleaded but it only angered him more.“So, you’re even defending him now?” He asked with a raised brow. “Be civil for once!” Rose snapped, “You’re not needed here. Just go back to your world and leave us be!”Rose tried to sound confident but her heart was pumping wildly in her chest. She knew Ethan was ruthless and powerful. He could easily disfigure Mason and no one would say anything about it, so she stood in front of Mason shielding him with her body.Ethan watched Rose’s action and his jaw ticked, “What f
Rose, did you hear what I just said?” Marie asked. Rose snapped back and realized she had zoned out and smiled apologetically, “I’m sorry Aunt. What did you say?”After going back and forth with Ethan, She couldn't manage to make him angry enough to leave. He stayed and watched Daisy dance while he took videos like the father of the year.Rose watched with a heavy heart and wondered if she was being unfair to her kids. Daisy was in her happiest moment with him as they did silly things after the dance like painting each other on the face.“She looks happy.” Mason had whispered in her ear and it broke her. The words Ethan said hit her like a wave as she looked into Mason's eyes. If he continued to be close to her, he would be in danger. But she couldn't bring herself to say anything mean to him or hurt him enough to make him leave.She may not have fallen in love with him, but she liked him and found him extremely kind. Thinking of a way to keep Ethan away, she turned to Mason, “Do you
