“Yes…. I wish that you would stay for the rest of the afternoon but I guess that I can’t demand too much of your time. I don’t want to be a nagging wife.” But she realized that he was silent. He seems to be deep in thought.Ethan was still staring at a daze when he felt soft hands touching his chin” Don’t worry, I understand” she kissed his lips and smiled for him” I know that you are going to the event for your mother’s sake and I know better than to try and stop you. Just do what you have to do and I will be here waiting for you.”With a worried face, he stood up and announced “I am sorry, love but I have to go. Pleas be calm, I will be back sooner than you think” he caressed her cheeks and then went to the shower. A moment later, he came back wearing his usual custom-made suits. For him, every occasion was special and a good presence was necessary. He didn’t dress up for Vivian but he had Susan in mind when he was putting on that suit. Just imagining them walking together withou
The crowd was quiet as everyone focused their eyes on the man of the day. He looked serious and handsome as always. Women just ogled on his looks.“What I would like you all to know is that Susan Cross is a very special woman to me. I helped her when she had no one, not even her family was available that is why we are fond of each other very much. For now, I don’t want to talk more about her because some of you will misinterpret my words but I want you people to leave her in peace. Don’t mention her anywhere in your media gossip and don’t cross her. She is not the one whose movie is being launched today, okay. “Ethan could see his parents’ throwing daggers at him.“Well, if you don’t have any other thing to talk about then we will take our seats” Ethan said emotionlessly, glad that he had been able to compose himself all this while.“Just one last thing before we let you go with your soon to be wife “another person interrupted. “We as the media people, we value and love you for the
“You are hurting me, Ethan. what is wrong with you?” Vivian cried out.“Is anything the matter? Ethan, why are your shouting?” Ariel asked while hugging her daughter. Haven’t you hurt her enough? Look at her, she is beautiful, successful and elegant. What more do you want in a woman?” Seeing her protect Vivian like that made her look like a coward especially when he remembered that Susan had no love from her.“Like daughter like mother. Is she the only child that you have? I don’t even know why God gave you a child when you don’t even want to take care of them. You spoil and teach one bad manner and then you abandon the other one.”“I am sorry, but how I raise my kids is none of your business. What I won’t take is your continuous disregard for Vivian. would it hurt you to show her just a little affection?”This was not the boy who used to love her presence. She didn’t know where everything changed along the way. All of a sudden, Ethan didn’t want anything to do with her.Ethan didn’t
Wait a minute! he remembered sleeping with Susan last night but why the hell was he in a hotel room? he looked at his side and saw Vivian deeply asleep. He quickly lifted the quilt and saw that he was indeed naked. He had slept with Vivian without protection. How the hell would he fucking explain this to Susan? He has cheated on her when he had promised her that he will never do it. what if Vivian gets pregnant? A lot of thoughts were going on in his mind and he didn’t know what to do anymore.Ethan tapped on Vivian’s shoulder. she woke up while rubbing her sleepy eyes.” Fucking explain what happened in here. I told you that I never wanted to get involved with your shitty nonsense.” his voice sounded cold and Vivian started getting nervous.“Can’t you see, we slept together. why are you even worried? we are getting married in a week, so it is not such a big deal” Susan said as he stared at her with daggers.If looks could kill, he would have already done so long time ago. Ethan did
“Bastards, I will transfer the money in a minute, okay. But I promise that you will return that money one day.” Immediately, he took his phone and initiated the process. He knew that they would always find a way to bribe him for money. But he would be glad to find a solution from them because now his mind wasn’t working at all.“I knew that Vivian was a bitch. But don’t worry, brother. we are here for you and we will protect you from her. Although, we don’t like Susan, Vivian is even worst. We have had her on our radar for awhile now and we will be happy to help you with her” Damian suggested. “Well …good luck with getting rid of her when I am marrying her in one week.”“You sure will find a way to tell her off. we will handle our mother for you. You know that she loves and listens us. As for father, you will just have to fight with him until you be on the same page. Tell him that you aren’t in love with Vivian and make him understand. He is like a robot , I never liked his commandi
“Darling, I am so happy to see you. Shall we?” she was eagerly looking forward to the date. She hoped that Ethan would show her a little more love than he had been doing lately. She was also a woman and she yearned for good things apart from wealth.“It’s nothing, I will help you with the seat belt. “Ethan said gently startling Vivian. This man hasn’t talked to her for a whole week. He must be up to something but anyway it didn’t matter. All that she wanted was to enjoy a good time with him.This was a rare chance that comes once in a while.Ethan needed her to be calm because this was the last day that he was going to look at her face and be at her presence. She raised an eye brow as she asked “Are you sure that you aren’t angry at me for drugging you the other night and sleeping with you?” some part of her still didn’t believe him but she was getting confused by the minute. He usually yelled at her but why was he being this nice to her today?“Not at all. I don’t like holding grudg
“If you dare to tell anyone about what happened between us the other night, I will banish your family from this city. I hope that you know that I don’t joke around. I have had it up to my throat with your continuous pestering. Your family might be friends with my mother but I couldn’t care less. So, you will have to think very carefully about this matter before you open your big mouth. I hope that I am being crystal clear to you.”“I hate you so much. How could you do this to me, bastard? I gave you everything. ““No..…..you wanted my money . Now, get out of my car before I get rid of you myself” he yelled and Vivian had no choice but to climb down. Tears rolled on her face like no one else business. This man has managed to break her heart in away that she hadn’t imagined.The car sped off in a jiffy as Vivian watched her future slip away from her hands.At that moment, she wasn’t even worried about herself but her mother. She knew that she won’t accept it that they have lost and she
“Are you sure? because we are going to pass through a lot of challenges in the near future and you have to be prepared. For starters, tomorrow was supposed to be the wedding day between me and Vivian. I have got plans and you are a part of it” he declared.“Great …. anything for you, love” she said sounding calm.In the evening, Ethan got a call from his mother. she was angry as always and he already knew what it was all about.“How dare you, son from hell. What is your problem? Who are you married to? “Celia screamed on the other side of the phone. When it came to Ethan, she will never be calm. he was just a natural born trouble maker.“Mother, don’t make your pressure go up for nothing. I am coming to settle this once and for all. I thought you two wanted me to marry? I listened to your request and I have gotten a wife of my choice. Where did I go wrong? ““A wife of your choice my foot. Ethan, I will die before I see you get married to a useless woman. You have to get a divorce and
“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?”
