They both hugged each other and then Susan climbed in to her car and left. She felt much better and was only hopeful about tomorrow.At some few minutes to 9.00PM, Susan finally got back home with only one thing in her mind. To speak to Ethan and tell him the good news. She was sure that he will be happy for her. He knew how finding her father was very important to her.Susan knew that by now he would have already wrapped up with his night meetings and was ready for her. However, today she just wanted to talk to him and nothing fishy.She pulled out her phone and video called him but he was unavailable. she tried to call him so as to alert him to call back but he couldn’t reach him either.That night, Ethan never called but she wasn’t worried. Ethan was probably busy and he would call her soon. In the wake of the morning, she went to work as usual. As soon as she sat down on her desk , there was a knock on her door. Without thinking much about it, she told the person to come in. Tha
“Let me tell you a little secret, it won’t be for long because he is soon becoming mine. We are expecting a baby and he will be a daddy very soon. All those bullshit that I keep on hearing that you are pregnant will not stop me. Now, I have evidence that you have been cheating on him and I will prove it to him.”“Honey, you are pregnant, that is really good news. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? “Gordon was so thrilled. Susan could literally see the sparkle in his eyes. “Deep inside, Susan trusted him. Gordon didn’t know the whole story concerning her baby but she was sure that he will take care of him.“Huh…...I don’t even know if this child belongs to her ex-husband or you. But the bottom-line is that you are not having Ethan. In fact, I am just going to announce to the Griffins that I am carrying their grandson and let us see who will win this time round.“Vivian, how could you be this cruel? I have never done anything against you. How can you come up with such a lie when you know t
“Are you sure? It is a huge amount of money “She asked curiously.Why did Ariel do this to their daughter. Was it that difficult to show her just a little love?“You worry yourself too much, honey. Allow me to worry about that for the time being. Let us go home now.” He directed as Susan picked up her stuff and left with him. Even if she would have stayed, she wouldn’t have concentrated on her job. Things weren’t looking good for her today. As if that wasn’t even enough, Ethan hasn’t called. Truth be told, now she no longer wanted to talk to him after the confession that Vivian had made.The man just knew how to say the right things at the right moment. Susan just felt at peace when she was with him. It might sound unreal because they have just known each for like 2 days but it didn’t matter, what was important was what was in the heart. She couldn’t have asked for any other person to be her dad.“Thank you, I appreciate you so much. I might not understand what happened between you
All of a sudden Serena turned in to a fierce tiger defending her cubs.“Don’t you think that I am worried about her too? If she comes by or contact you, please tell me and I will come and get her “Ethan muttered coldly before turning his back on the woman. coming all the way to this place was a waste of time. There were no signs of Susan in her mother’s house and that was what worried him the most.Where should he began looking for her?“Peter, I need a detailed information on where my wife went for the three days that I wasn’t around. I want that file immediately or consider yourselves fired “he yelled over the phone as he drove his car back to the house. He was so powerless for the first time. For the first time, he had given his heart to someone and then she wakes up and disappears just like that. He was sorry but he couldn’t let her go. He was going to find her and they were going to make things right.He didn’t rush back home for nothing.Where the hell could she be?As soon as
Guilt was written all over Serena’s face as she smiled sheepishly.“Honey……I came to see you. You know I wouldn’t sleep well without knowing that you were safe. I have never seen him in my life. In fact, I am meeting him for the first time” she lied.“Mommy, I heard everything that you said to each other. He said that he loved you. Were you two in a relationship back then? I am not a kid anymore and I would like you to be honest with me this time round, okay. Besides, I don’t understand how all this is related to Ariel.” She said looking serious.Gordon went to her and helped her to sit down. It was time for him to tell the truth because he had always known that a day like this will come one day. He didn’t want to start a relationship with Susan based on lies. It destroyed him in the past and he didn’t want to be the same person ever again.Life was so important when you have those that you care about closer.“I guess we have a confession to make “he said as he showed Serena to her se
“Ariel would leave her neglected every time she went on her stupid outings. So, one day I went to her house and took Susan. Ariel didn’t care even a bit. All that she said was that she was almost giving her up for adoption because she was causing her trouble with her new husband. In my heart, I knew that she was yours and even if you abandoned me, I still had the responsibility to look out for her.”“I can’t thank you enough for your kindness. I knew that you had such a good heart. Please, forgive me for my past mistakes. I am finally here to rectify them.” Gordon apologized.When Susan decided to stay silent, they knew that they were in trouble but that was exactly the opposite because Susan didn’t want to lose the people that she now considered a family. Hating them or keeping grudges would just be a waste of time.“Huh…...I have had enough drama in my life but this is one of a kind. This story that you have just finished telling me is number one on my list because it involves the
“Where did you get this image?” he asked taking the phone away from her hands so that he can get a good look. Vivian took the chance to add fuel to the fire. She must act well so that Ethan can forget about Susan. She must destroy Susan’s image no matter what the cost.“Huh…..she had no shame at all. They were doing it in her office. I saw them undressing and Susan was giggling as he kissed her. Susan is really shameless. Is that the kind of a woman that you want to get married to?” She asked as she looked at him coquettishly “I am here for you, darling. Unlike her, I don’t mess around and I am famous. “ Ethan was still scratching his head trying to make sense of what Vivian was saying. But what he heard was a buzzing in his ears. No…. Susan was only permitted to touch him and not another man.While still deep in thought, Ethan received a file on his phone. He looked at it icily as it showed both Susan and Gordon driving away from his house. So, it was the useless man who took his
Why was he looking at her that way? Did he know what he was doing to her insides? Gosh… she wanted to run and hug him so tight but it was too bad that they couldn’t go on.“I can’t match up to her even if I wanted and honestly, I don’t want to fight a game that I have already lost. Can’t you see that my mother and sister will stop at nothing to see me down and suffering? Please, understand where I am coming from.”That was it…. he couldn’t take it anymore. Ethan wasn’t a man to stay patient for too long but what he knew was that he wasn’t ready to lose her after all the challenges that they have been through together.“I think that I have to remind you of what we feel for each other. You have missed me and that is why you are rebellious, Love? Maybe, you can forget about all this nonsense. I don’t want to listen to you anymore.”All of a sudden, he grabbed her and cornered her on to the wall. She could deny it all that she wanted but as his face came closer to hers, he could see it.
“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?”
