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
She had forgotten how the smooth touch of his hands felt like and she became anxious instantly with the images of the past flashing right before her eyes.She was reminded of the first day that she melted in his arms and how they couldn’t get their hands off each other from there onwards. She shivered with excitement as she recalled how the man used to fuck her all night long. In his arms, she knew love, tenderness and softness. She finally got to give her body the pleasure that it deserved. she didn’t want to think about what will happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or at the end of the year. As long as she got to feel his passion one last time, it will be buried deep in her memories.When the pleasure was too much, she moaned and then closed her legs on impulse. The man chuckled sheepishly “It seems that you have been anxious about it. Tell me, how long have you been ready for me and yet you kept on pretending?”Her face flushed “Have your been having these ill thoughts in
“I love you “Ethan said as he kissed her passionately on the lips.“I love you more” Susan replied as they turned to the crowd while smiling with charm. It was unexpected wedding yet colorful. with the close family members available, they didn’t need any more witnesses for their love. It was just perfect the way it was.“Baby brother, you finally made it. We are so happy for you “Damian said with excitement in his eyes. “Today we won’t prank you or try to leech off of you but we have a surprise for the two of you “he added with seriousness on his face.“Oh…..please have you ever done anything for me without expecting payment . I am warning you, I am not in the mood for your craziness. I don’t want to be grumpy on my wedding night “he commented and Susan blushed.“Yes …Devil king. We have been planning this for so long because we knew that you will end up with her. She is so beautiful and goodhearted. We have learned a lot from her and every day we are trying to be good people. “Dami
Ethan sneered as he looked at her coldly. “I warned you to stay out of my life and to stop bothering me. Do you think that you can control my life as if I was a robot? I never liked you in anyway. Susan was and will be my dream woman until the day that I die.” Ethan added.“Oh…..You are so predictable, darling . All along I knew where you had taken them. Forgive me for fooling you but they are safe and the person getting married for real today is my sweet baby girl, Susan. I have to return to her everything that I deprived of her including the man that she loves. ““Susan, the real wedding is about to start. come out, darling “Ariel said and Susan appeared in to the hall with Serena and Gordon holding her hands.“Mother, you bought her my dream wedding dress?” Vivian was so startled. she couldn’t believe her eyes“Why not? it can’t compensate for the years that I neglected her but I wouldn’t have hesitated to give you one if only you would have avoided trouble “Ariel said as she st
That was when Susan turned to Ethan” Please watch over Happy and do not dare let Mark come near him. ” she said and hugged her mother one last time.” It was good to be in your arms, mommy. I hope that you won’t fail me and my sister in the future “She said as she turned her back and went out with Melvin.They went straight to the address that they were given. Vivian sent someone to take them to undisclosed location. She knew that she had to be careful.“Tie yourself with the rope” Vivian instructed when they finally met with her.“Vivian, since we are here, you can go ahead and release the baby “Melvin said coldly.“Shut up idiot. Just because you are here doesn’t mean that I have to release that little useless brat. She is of no use to me. She couldn’t even help me get back Ethan or even his wealth. I needed her to be a boy instead of a pitiful l weak girl. Why should I bother myself with her? Now that I have the two of you, it is my perfect time. The plan has changed.“What are you
“Well …. I will send the address. I want them to come alone. Just the two of them because they are not meant to be your daughters. I am the only one who should be yours. “She said and disconnected the phone.Melvin held her mother’s hands gently. She could see that she was in panic. The only thing that she could think about was that this was her family now and their problems were hers now. She would make any sacrifices for them no matter what.“Mommy, I heard everything and I will gladly go. We are the ones that she has a problem with and I think that we should not let our little Joy pay for it.”“Melvin, you can’t go, I can’t lose you again, sweet sister. Please stay, I will find a way to get my daughter back “Ethan said as he pulled her in to a hug.Melvin closed her eyes and said “Don’t be too clingy. Don’t you know that we are both evil and we always find our ways out of situations like this? If Vivian wants me then I will go. “She pinched his cheeks and smiled “seriously, this is
Susan smiled and kissed his lips tenderly “Yeah …you have a way of calming me down. I love you.”That night, Melvin couldn’t sleep. She just wanted to talk to her mother. She wanted to confide in her and experience how it felt like.There has been so much burden that she has been holding on her shoulder and she needed to let them go. She had promised the love of her life on his last breath that she will try and be happy.“We will sleep together the way that we should have done when you were a baby. I swear that I will make up for everything that you missed in your life “Ariel said as she brushed her hair softly.“You know, mother. I grew up in a loving family but I had a hollow feeling in my heart that I couldn’t explain. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I joined the special forces and was deployed on the border. I was trained as doctor and I did my work very well until that fateful day.”She hesitated and then with smile on her face she said “then I met the love of my life there. He
“Not so fast, you guys found our sister and you didn’t even think of telling us?” Damian glanced at the people before proceeding towards Melvin.“I have always wished for a doctor in our family so that she can treat Ethan. Sometimes, I think that he is crazy for real “Devin said“Anyway, I am joking. I will carry my sister in to the car. “Devin added with smile.“I will drive them to wherever they are going and I will be their cook for the night “Damian offered.Celia smiled as she looked at her twins. They were a pain in the ass but sometimes they were sensible. At least they were making a good humor out of the difficult situation.“Darlings, I am so proud of you “Celia sent them flying kisses as they made their way out of the hospital with Melvin.Ariel left but she knew that she still had one mission left. She will come back for Susan. she was sorry that today, she only had time for Melvin. Soon, she believed that the three of them will be together as one family. Finally, she had
Susan moved forward with tears in her eyes “Welcome to the family, sweetie. we met for a reason and I am glad that you came my way. From today onwards, I will be the one to protect you. “Susan said while avoiding her mother’s gaze.Then it was Ethan’s turn” Even though, I loved you before, now I will adore you as my sweet sister. we could use a female sibling in the family to keep us boys in checks. Remember that you can always count on me. Our family might be a dysfunctional one but we have always taken care of each other.”Melvin didn’t say anything as Evans too stepped forward and gave her a hug” I hope you will forgive me one day. I know I wronged you but I still love you despite all the things that I have done against you. You are still my little sweet girl.”“Dear, I am not your mother and I do not support what they did, but I will always be there for you when you need me?” Celia said and then Serena added” You are my niece who I didn’t know existed. Always count on me. I will l
“I accept that I was always a mischief growing up but I also suffered. It isn’t easy to live with the guilt of having killed someone that you loved. All these bad things that I did in the past was because I didn’t know myself. I was lost and confused all because of you, Evans Griffins. Can you give me back my life ? I lost my wife and child in the midst of all this. I have nothing just because of you “Mark chimed in looking distressed.“Son, the most important thing is that the truth has come out. So, you can start over your life and change for the better. I know that I haven’t been a good father either but I love you than you can ever imagine” Leonardo said with a relief in his eyes.“I was never a bad person. I only changed after people judged me for something that I didn’t do. I felt that I was really a bad person. So, I became what you intended on me to be ?” Mark said and then turned to Ethan.“You were supposed to be my friend and yet you turned your back on me. I told you man
Melvin pouted her mouth like a little spoiled brat.“It couldn’t wait until I come back home?” She asked as she opened the door and ran into her father’s warm embrace “Did you get lost along the way?” she asked as Ethan eyes widened in surprise to see Melvin hugging Charles Oliver warmly.Now it made sense why he felt so strange around Melvin. She was indeed Miranda. If that was the case, what the hell happened back then? who died and who was buried?While he was still staring at a daze Gordon, Serena and Ariel entered in to the house. It seemed that Ariel have been crying and she didn’t look too good.“Damn you people, I hate you all. Why didn’t you tell me that my daughter was still alive? I have been waiting days and night to finally apologize to her. were you waiting for her to die for real so that you can tell me? My God, she almost died the other day and I wasn’t even there to protect her, Serena. You couldn’t even tell me that she had already given birth to my grandson. Why?”
