She smiled at Vivian before making the big announcementâ My daughter is pregnant with your grandson and I thought that this was a good way to convince Ethan to marry her. What do you think?â she asked. The whole house remained quiet. No one dared to talk as everyone had different ideas going on in their minds.âMumâĶ..DadâĶ.arenât you going to say something? I know that it is wrong to get pregnant before marriage but I just wanted to be with him desperately. Please, donât judge me too much.â Vivian said pitifully. Being an actress that she was, she sounded emotional.She didnât understand why these fools were all of a sudden dumfounded when they should be jubilating and congratulating her. Come on, she was doing them a huge favor by carrying this child.Evans cleared his voice and spoke firstâ Are you sure, Vivian? Are you carrying my grandson? âHe asked as his eyes sparkled with charm. Finally, he had the tool to get rid of Susan. His son will finally have the life that they desired f
Ethan went to his mother and hugged her tenderly âSweet mother, donât ever get yourself involved with these kinds of shit. It is very dangerous for an innocent woman like you, okay âhe kissed her forehead and then took the gun away.âI am so sorry for causing you problems. I think that we are going to leave right this moment. âAriel said when the tension cooled down. She has always feared Ethan, he was surrounded with a never-ending violence. âYesâĶ..we were just leaving âVivian added with a trembling voice.As Ethan looked at her, he couldnât hold his disgust for her.âVivian, have you told them how you drugged me and slept with me? I didnât give you my consent to get pregnant with my child. You practically raped me. The question is, how am I even sure that this child is mine?â he challenged coldly as he stared at Vivianâs embarrassed face.âOhâĶ. not with this again? This child is yours and I want you to divorce that Susan and marry Vivian.â Celia said immediately.âYou canât say tha
âI have no choice now. If you donât want me or this baby, then I have to take this abortion pills. I will get rid of this baby to set you free so that you can be with my sister. I really hope that the two of you will be really happy. âShe was crying hysterically while holding the pills in her hands.Ariel became so worried that sweat started dripping on her face. This was the only fucking chance and Vivian just had to pull a stunt like this. She hated weaklings and she didnât know what was going through her head.âVivian, please donât do it. Do you want me to die without a grandson? who know what could happen to me tomorrow or the day after. I have a lot of enemies and maybe I can die after all. I used to think that my son was impotent and this news gave me great joy. Please donât take the pill. âCelia pleaded. Every fiber on her body was hoping for Ethan to come to her rescue. She wanted him to come and grab the pills and beg her to keep the baby but he just didnât care as always. I
She already knew that the doctor had a bad track record and she wouldnât mind manipulating him. Once a friend of hers had trouble and he helped.When she was brought in and she realized that he was the doctor in charge of her case, she knew she had to take advantage of the opportunity which have presented itself on a platter.She was tired of Ethan messing with her and now was her time.âI am sorry Vivian but I cannot be involved with such kind of improper conduct in my careerâ He refused almost immediately. He knew Vivian too well and he didnât want to associate himself with her craziness.âCome on, Doctor. At the expense of me exposing your dirty deals? I know that you own a hospital without a license and all that I need to do is alert the relevant people. You know that my family have connections.â she threatened looking dead serious. This stupid doctor was not going to be a hindrance to her plans.Left with no any other choice, he asked âWhat do you want me to do?ââTell my family
With his head throbbing, he drove through the dark road and came to a stop at the white painted house. He knew he wouldnât stay away no matter what when his heart beat was still inside. He must see her tonight. He needed a hug from her and he needed to tell her that he had been through a lot today.He wasnât a man to open up easily but only one woman have made it possible yet when he needed her, she wasnât there.But the thing was, would she even agree to talk to him?âGodâĶplease let her see meâ he mumbled to himself as he walked on the pavement. âHe has never asked anything from God desperately like he was doing now. It pained his heart sadly to know that the one that he cherished was disappointed in him and he did not know how he will be able to get her back especially when he has brought another woman in his house.He finally rang the bell and Gordon opened the door. Seeing that it was Ethan, he pouted his mouth impatiently.âHavenât you had enough drama for today, Ethan. My daugh
She already knew everything that was going on with Ethan.She hasnât stopped crying ever since she heard that Vivian has finally moved in to her house, the house that Ethan promised her that they will have beautiful memories together. Was she sleeping on her bed? OhâĶâĶshe promised herself not to think about him but it was just impossible.Why did she always hurt like this? why was it that the men that she loved were always cheaters?First, he got Vivian pregnant and now she was moving in to their house. Somehow, she had a little hope that Ethan will turn things around and come back to her. She had hopes that he will come and tell her that he wonât have anything to do with Vivian and that they should go back to the way that they used to be.But how disappointed she has been.Perhaps, she was stupid. All that Vivian wanted was for her to move out of the house so that she can get a chance to get close to Ethan.Karen had called to inform her about everything and it hurts like hell.At aro
âI am talking to you and you are keeping quiet? OhâĶ...I hate you, Susan. I want to kill youâĶ. I really do. Donât think that you have won. I am the one living in your house and eating your food. Let us see how long it will take for Ethan to forget you and become mine alone.ââIf you think that he favors you, why did he call for me? and why did he stay all night long freezing on the cold outside my house? Donât be overconfident, eh doesnât love you. For once, you will never take his love away from me.â Susan sneered before a slap landed on her cheeks out from the blue.Ariel was standing right in front of her with a raging fire in her eyes not realizing that Susan had company.âMother âĶ. why are you hitting me? arenât you had enough all these years?â Susan complained as she caressed her already red cheeks.From the corners of her eyes, Susan saw Vivian jubilating. She was so lucky that no one has never laid their hands on her unlike her who couldnât forget the number of times that
âAriel, I am in no mood for your troubles. Say what you have to tell me directly instead of going in circles. I wasnât the one who abandoned a vulnerable child because of another man. what did he help you with? I can see that you are still trying to push Vivian to get married to Ethan for the money but let me tell you that money will never win over love. You will always be this bitter lady who couldnât enjoy life. ââYou think so? You went to the hospital for a gunshot wound on the chest that nearly claimed your life. The only thing that your dear daughter had to do was to stop seeing Ethan but she was so selfish. she didnât care that you were almost killed because of going after Ethan, the man that she should have stayed away from the very beginning.ââWhat are you fucking implying. Ariel, I know you very well. were you the one who sent those men to shoot me?â How heatless could you be, Ariel? I am supposed to be you sister. Must you have sent those men to hurt me?ââWhat are you
âI love you âEthan said as he kissed her passionately on the lips.âI love you moreâ 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 didnât need any more witnesses for their love. It was just perfect the way it was.âBaby brother, you finally made it. We are so happy for you âDamian said with excitement in his eyes. âToday we wonât prank you or try to leech off of you but we have a surprise for the two of you âhe added with seriousness on his face.âOhâĶ..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 donât want to be grumpy on my wedding night âhe commented and Susan blushed.âYes âĶDevil 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. âDami
Ethan sneered as he looked at her coldly. âI 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.â Ethan added.âOhâĶ..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. ââSusan, the real wedding is about to start. come out, darling âAriel said and Susan appeared in to the hall with Serena and Gordon holding her hands.âMother, you bought her my dream wedding dress?â Vivian was so startled. she couldnât believe her eyesâWhy not? it canât compensate for the years that I neglected her but I wouldnât have hesitated to give you one if only you would have avoided trouble âAriel said as she st
That was when Susan turned to Ethanâ Please watch over Happy and do not dare let Mark come near him. â she said and hugged her mother one last time.â It was good to be in your arms, mommy. I hope that you wonât fail me and my sister in the future âShe 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.âTie yourself with the ropeâ Vivian instructed when they finally met with her.âVivian, since we are here, you can go ahead and release the baby âMelvin said coldly.âShut up idiot. Just because you are here doesnât mean that I have to release that little useless brat. She is of no use to me. She couldnât 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.âWhat are you
âWell âĶ. 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. âShe said and disconnected the phone.Melvin held her motherâs 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.âMommy, 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.ââMelvin, you canât go, I canât lose you again, sweet sister. Please stay, I will find a way to get my daughter back âEthan said as he pulled her in to a hug.Melvin closed her eyes and said âDonât be too clingy. Donât 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. âShe pinched his cheeks and smiled âseriously, this is
Susan smiled and kissed his lips tenderly âYeah âĶyou have a way of calming me down. I love you.âThat night, Melvin couldnât 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.âWe 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 âAriel said as she brushed her hair softly.âYou know, mother. I grew up in a loving family but I had a hollow feeling in my heart that I couldnât explain. When I couldnât 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.âShe hesitated and then with smile on her face she said âthen I met the love of my life there. He
âNot so fast, you guys found our sister and you didnât even think of telling us?â Damian glanced at the people before proceeding towards Melvin.âI have always wished for a doctor in our family so that she can treat Ethan. Sometimes, I think that he is crazy for real âDevin saidâAnyway, I am joking. I will carry my sister in to the car. âDevin added with smile.âI will drive them to wherever they are going and I will be their cook for the night âDamian 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.âDarlings, I am so proud of you âCelia 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 âWelcome 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. âSusan said while avoiding her motherâs gaze.Then it was Ethanâs turnâ 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.âMelvin didnât say anything as Evans too stepped forward and gave her a hugâ 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.ââDear, 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?â Celia said and then Serena addedâ You are my niece who I didnât know existed. Always count on me. I will l
âI accept that I was always a mischief growing up but I also suffered. It isnât 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 didnât 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 âMark chimed in looking distressed.âSon, 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 havenât been a good father either but I love you than you can ever imagineâ Leonardo said with a relief in his eyes.âI was never a bad person. I only changed after people judged me for something that I didnât do. I felt that I was really a bad person. So, I became what you intended on me to be ?â Mark said and then turned to Ethan.âYou 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.âIt couldnât wait until I come back home?â She asked as she opened the door and ran into her fatherâs warm embrace âDid you get lost along the way?â 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 didnât look too good.âDamn you people, I hate you all. Why didnât 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 wasnât even there to protect her, Serena. You couldnât even tell me that she had already given birth to my grandson. Why?â
