Ethan felt so guilty that he had to leave but this was an emergency. A child life was involved here and he knew that Susan will understand.“Love, I have to leave hurriedly. something has come up. Don’t worry about Happy, Letty wouldn’t let go of him in the night and she took him to her room to sleep with him. “She didn’t even realize that she had slept without her baby.“But where are you going, love?” Susan suddenly woke up “Please, I can’t allow you to go out in the dark night. Something bad might happen to you and I wouldn’t handle it. At least, stay until daylight. ““Be good. I have to go. “He kissed her forehead and hurriedly headed out. He didn’t even try to give her any further information as to where he was going to or when he was coming back. Why did he even bother to come to her when he knew that he would wake up in the middle of night and disappear. Tears formed on her eyes. It was hopeless to keep on having faith, he will never stay with her. His promises sometime di
After a while, the doctor came back into the room to check on Vivian and the baby.“Hello, Mr. Griffins. I am glad that you came. I am just going to check on the mother and the baby then I will inform you of the findings “the man said respectably.“Go ahead “Ethan replied looking unfathomable.After around 10 minutes, the doctor faced Ethan and said “they are both in a good health condition. The baby just had a slight infection and the antibiotic that we gave her has cleared the infection. The mother’s wound has already closed and she is stable now. With all this said, they can go home first thing in the morning. “The doctor declared and Ethan sighed with a relief.At least now Joy will have people around her who cares and not a cold and unfeeling mother.“Thank you doctor. I will go and process the discharge papers.”When Vivian finally arrived home, the whole family was waiting for her. They seemed to be happy for the arrival of the useless brat. All their faces were smiling as they
Ethan was curious and when he peeked at the screen, Vivian was in the kitchen drinking wine and talking on the phone while laughing. He noticed how well she looked and yet in front of him, she pretended to be weak.Ethan palmed his face and didn’t understand either.When it came to Susan everything was simple yet complicated but somehow Vivian would always make things complicated for just nothing. why the hell could she love Joy? Her own flesh and blood.“Guys, don’t mind about her. I know she has her own priorities and clearly it is not kids. I will take care of little Joy myself. I will be her father and mother at the same time. Meanwhile, keep an eye on what Vivian is up to because I have a feeling that she will start trouble soon.”“Alright …. we haven’t forgotten our task as your body guards “Damian said.“Devil king, we will not charge you for taking care of Joy. We have always yearned for a little girl in the family and it is a blessing to all of us. we want to pamper her and m
Ethan stiffened. He couldn’t believe this guy. They are Chinese and how the hell did they find out his personal life matters.“You people are crossing the line here. Did you just investigate me?” he asked throwing daggers at them but they weren’t afraid. They knew that this was something that Ethan would kill for.“Of course, we have to know the person who we are partnering with and there are so many secrets that you aren’t aware of. As much as we would have liked to spill the beans, we will not tell you the master mind because we are not allowed to name the person. He threatened us.”“Yeah, but we will give you a name to look in to so that you know that we are not lying. The name is Charles Oliver. He has all the answers that you need.”These guys were driving him crazy. why the hell would they come up with something like this? What did they need from him? He definitely knew that it was Mark who killed Miranda and now they were telling him all this bullshit. They have succeeded in a
It was almost the end of work day and Ethan remembered that he had a new born in the house. He shouldn’t go to her smelling like nicotine. So, he washed his face and brushed his teeth. When he was sure that his breath was fresh, he jumped in to his car and drove back home.“Darling …” Vivian’s irritating voice met him at the door.He looked at her and muttered “What now Vivian. Have you taken care of the baby?” he asked impatiently.“I am still having postnatal depression. I promise that after I have recovered, I will take good care of our daughter. Nowadays I wake up in the middle of the night having nightmares about you leaving me alone. Can you accompany me until I sleep, only just for today? Please…...I promise that I will be a good girl “ she said and Ethan felt that his head was going to split in to two. Vivian sure knew how to manipulate him. She was aware that as his baby mama, he was bound to have a soft heart towards her.“Of course, you go ahead to your room. I will com
“Right now, I have so many problems and I couldn’t care less about Mark. So, if you don’t mind, get the fucking hell out of my house before I lose the little patience that I have” Ethan said but he saw the man just standing there confidently.And he started to wonder what he had against him.“Well…. I don’t believe you at all. If you don’t provide him, you won’t be able to see your little baby. I will keep her until you bring me my son. If you don’t find my son, your baby will pay. I am honored to let you feel the pain of losing a child.”Ethan panicked at the thought of Joy being taken by Leonard Goven. He wouldn’t take it. Where the hell are those idiots that call themselves his brothers? He thought silently.The moment he ran upstairs, the crib was empty. Damian and Devin were busy laughing on the balcony while doing pushups. Today of all the days, they chose to do exercise.Great …. great …..they have fucked him up big time.Overwhelmed with rage, he shouted “I am going to kill t
“If you kill me, you won’t be able to see your son. All that I am asking is for you to allow me to confirm that my baby is okay then I will be on my way “he pleaded with the stone-faced man holding the metal on his forehead.Leonardo scoffed “I don’t believe you. I don’t know who you are trying to fool but you really don’t care about the girl.”Ethan sneered irritably, Leonardo didn’t know how much he was trying to control his temper not to grab the gun and put a bullet on his head.“ Don’t put words into my mouth. If we are to have a deal here. I have to be sure that she is being taken care of and I don’t give damn about your useless thoughts. ““Why don’t you just go back to the North city? You won’t be able to see her until you bring back my son. if it will ease your mind, I am not that heartless to hurt a powerless child, he will be well taken care of. All that you have to do is mobilize your goons to find Mark” Leonardo said coldly.“Can I at least see her. I want to hug and kiss
Susan felt like she was dreaming. She has been having these dreams about him lately and this was not any different. Even though, they made her sad in the morning, they kept her company in the lonely nights. But why did this time round feel so real? Was Ethan really in the house and in her bedroom? Her eyes opened instantly and immediately she came face to face with the familiar green eyes that she had only been seeing in her dreams.“Ethan…. Is that you?” she whispered still not sure of herself.“Yes…...Silly. I came to see you. Did you miss me?” he asked as he pulled her into a tight and long hug. Susan felt his warm body and sweet scent. That was when the realization came to her that he really came to see her.“You left me for so long, Ethan. You didn’t even think of calling me and I thought that …...” her voice suddenly vanished and he could feel warm tears on his shirt.“You thought that …...” he repeated her statement already looking pissed off.Sometimes, she never even und
