The body of the message read; 'Thank you for helping me acquire the Carter's property'

"What does this mean, mum," Ethan asked trying to deny what was obvious.

"Ethan, go get Jacqueline. Don't let her leave," Mrs Carter said and Ethan immediately exited her room.

He went to their room and found it empty. He went to the bathroom and realised her stuff was not at their usual place. Ethan's eyes widened as it dawned on him, that Jacqueline had left the house. He returned to the bedroom and opened the closet. It was only his clothing that was in the closet. That of Jacqueline were all gone.

He saw one of the drawers in the closet was open. This is where he kept his gold watches, and branded cufflinks including a Rolex watch his father gifted him on his birthday. It was empty. They were all gone. He came out of the closet and his gaze fell on the dressing table. The whole table was clean including everything in the drawer. Jacqueline didn't just clear the table of her stuff, she took Et

    At Olivia's apartment, Olivia heard a knock on the door and when he answered the door it was Ethan. He entered the apartment without waiting for her invitation and hugged her. "Sir," Olivia said surprised. Olivia stood frozen to her spot with Ethan hugging her. The front door was slightly opened. When Ethan hugged Olivia the moment she opened the door. Olivia did not have any time to close the door. After what seemed like forever, Olivia felt the back of her dress getting soaked by warm water."Is Ethan crying?" Olivia thought as she moved her hands to hug him too.She rubbed his back not sure what was happening. Olivia can already deduce something bad had happened but what she was not sure of is how bad the situation is. Ethan spent practically the whole day in her apartment the previous day so she didn't get the chance to meet up with Ethan's father for any update on what was happening. "Sir, please let me close the front door," Olivia said breaking the long silence. Ethan just

Back at Carter's apartment, Mr Martin was done addressing all the employees and had dismissed them to continue with their work. Andrews was back in the bodyguard's quarters. He placed a call to Mr Carter and updated him on the current situation. "Mrs Carter is in the hospital. Ethan went to Olivia's apartment and he is still there now as we speak," Andrews reported. "Which hospital?" Mr Carter asked and Andrews gave him the location of the hospital based on the information he gathered from tapping Ethan's phone. "One Mr Martin had moved into what used to be your apartment. It appears Mr Green and his daughter sold the apartment to them. For your other properties, I am not sure how Mr Green and his daughter handle them but I can find out," Andrews reported."Don't worry, let t

    "Hello sir, please come quick. Something is happening to your mum," Andrews informed Ethan."Peter, what happened?" Ethan asked "I am not sure but the doctors are in her room attending to her," Andrews replied."Thank you, I am coming over," Ethan said and ended the call."What happened?" Olivia asked"My mum is not okay," Ethan told her and headed for the door."Thank you for the tea," He added"Would like me to come with you?" Olivia asked and Ethan looked at her for a while. "Yes," Ethan said "Let me change quickly," Olivia said and went to her room.She returned wearing a straight dress. She tied her hair up in a pony and wore small earrings. Ethan headed for the door seeing Olivia was ready. They both went out and Ethan requested an Uber to the hospital. At the hospital, Ethan and Olivia walked in and went straight to the ward but Mrs Carter was not there. Ethan went to the receptionist and asked about his mother since he could not find Andrews. "I am Ethan Carter. My mother

    "Who are you?" Ethan questioned holding out the knife and the man stood to his feet.He turned to look at Ethan and Ethan's eyes widened."Dad?" Ethan said and rubbed his eyes to look again."How? I thought you were...but we. .." Ethan began but could not complete any sentence he started. "Ethan, you just roll with things without asking questions. Did you see me in the casket?" Mr Carter asked and Ethan recalled the casket was never opened. "So you were alive all this why and you never showed your face. You left me when my feet had not yet touched the ground to handle your business. Why? Now I lost it all," Ethan said with mixed emotions."Ethan, the business was doing fine all you needed to do was just watch them not sign them over to another," Mr Carter said "Mum said it was the right thing to do," Ethan defended. "Ethan, did you hear yourself? You signed off your inheritance to a woman you married after what a month and you tell me mum said? Let me guess, you married her becaus

    "I am Nathaniel Green, your father," The man said and Jeremy frowned"My father? I was told my parents died when I was just five years old. So what are you talking about?" Jeremy said recalling how he met Ethan. Jeremy was in high school when his grandfather passed on. He received a call informing him of his grandfather's passing and he broke down. His grandfather was the only family he had. He sat down alone in the canteen in tears. Ethan walked into the canteen and after getting what he came to the canteen for, he drew closer to Jeremy. They became friends and Ethan supported Jeremy throughout his education till he was done with school. Ethan left the country but never forgot about Jeremy. It was through Ethan Jeremy got his job until Olivia happened and Jeremy ended up in jail. "Yes, that is what you were told but your grandfather said that to you. I didn't know about you," Mr Green said to Jeremy."This is not the place for this conversation. I came here to get you out. Just g

    Mr Green used an alternative route instead of the main road. He heard the police sirens and he knew they had found out the warrant he brought was fake. "What are we going to do with him?" Jacqueline asked."What do you mean by that? He is my son," Mr Green replied."I know but why will you use the taser on him? It is because he is not agreeing with you. How sure are you that he will not be your downfall?" Jacqueline pointed out. "Blood does not betray blood. I am his father and it is enough reason not to betray me. For now, he is just shocked. He only needs time," Mr Green replied getting agitated"You do forget that for more than twenty years of his life, you have been absent. What makes you think he would accept you with open arms?" Jacqueline questioned"When he sees what I have done for him," Mr Green replied making a turn onto the main road."Hmmm," Jacqueline made a sound. "Jacqueline, he is my flesh and blood. And in case you have not noticed, I am not getting any younger. W

    At Mr Green's new location, he was sitting on a chair looking at Jeremy who had been tied up a chair. Jacqueline sat on the side enjoying a lollipop"What do you want from me?" Jeremy yelled and Mr Green frowned"Do I look like the enemy? I got you out of prison after Ethan left you there to rot for a crime you didn't commit," Mr Green yelled at him and Jeremy just stared at him."Ethan put me in prison. You showed up out of the blue and decided to release me from prison," Jeremy scuffed. "How old are you?" Jeremy asked and both Mr Green and Jacqueline exchanged glances returning their gaze to Jeremy with a frown. "What do you need that for?" Mr Green asked with a frown, annoyed Jeremy was not cooperating with him. "I just want to be sure your grey hair and looks came with time," Jeremy replied and Mr Green frowned. Jacqueline felt she had heard enough insults from Jeremy directed at the man she loves. She got up and entered the first bedroom of the two-bedroom apartment they were

    "I never forgot about you. I miss you so much even though I tried to deny it. I knew I missed you so much," Ethan said with a smile and Olivia lowered her head shyly.Ethan went to the penthouse after dropping Olivia off at her apartment."You wanted to be with her?" Me Carter asked seeing Ethan walk in with a long face."Yes. I may have taken the most hasty decision and divorced her but I never stopped loving her. I think it is the reason why I was never able to bond with Jacqueline," Ethan confessed."Well, I believe you have learnt a lesson from this?" Mr Carter asked"Yes, I have," Ethan acknowledged."How did it go with your mum?" Me Carter asked"She never said a word to me. I don't know if she was able to make me out," Ethan said sadly."She is still in shock I believe and probably bothered by the turn of events," Mr Carter explained."Tomorrow we start the recovery process. You start the divorce process and my men will go search for Jeremy," Mr Carter said and Ethan nodded.Th

    Ethan knocked and entered Camila's room and closed the door. The moment he closed the door, Camila came to him and kissed him. Ethan froze and for a moment didn't know what to do. She was heavily pregnant and pushing her felt like a terrible option. Opening the door was also not a good idea, what if Olivia sees them? She might misunderstand the situation. Ethan held Camila's shoulder and held her at arm's length pulling away from her. "Get a hold of yourself. I am neither your boyfriend nor husband. Do you go about kissing every man you are attracted to on the street? Have some dignity and respect for yourself. You make yourself too cheap and that is why you never attracted me and with this attitude, you will not attract any good man out there," Ethan said in one breath to Camila looking very angry. "You think I am cheap?" Camila said almost on the verge of tears. "It was one thing to be cheap and another to act like one. You are not cheap, you just present yourself as one," Ethan

Mr Garcia said."Yes," Olivia replied."How? I saw the image, I.....I....," Mr Garcia said alternating his gaze between the lady before her and Mr Carter. "Mr Carter found me and saved me," Olivia replied and Mr Garcia instantly became emotional.Mr Garcia covered his mouth with his hand and uncontrolled tears began to fall from his eyes.

    At the prison, Mrs Carter was told he had a visitor. She was so happy. She left the prison yard teasing Mrs Garcia and Jacqueline."You see when you marry the right man. Everything works in your favour," Mrs Carter said and left knowing Mr Carter had come to get her out. Mrs Carter entered a room and frowned seeing the person who had come to see her."Who are you and what do you want with me?" Mrs Carter asked proceeding to the provided seat."Hello, I am a representative of Mr Carter. He asked me to give you this," the lawyer said and Mrs Carter smiled."Aww, my handsome hubby. I know he would always come through for me," Mrs Carter said and took the envelope from the man as she sat on the seat opposite the man.She quickly opened it to see the content. A white sheet came out and she frowned seeing the title on the sheet. DIVORCE.

    Mr Garcia was immediately shuttered. His wife will be in prison for 15 years. "This is all my fault. I failed to put my feet down as a man and allowed all this to happen," Mr Garcia thought unable to get up from his seat. He watched as they took his wife away to begin her jail sentence. "What does this mean?" Jeremy asked Mr Carter. "I don't have to do anything. The properties will come back to Ethan," Mr Carter said. "Jeremy, you and Ethan have come a long way. I know you had your difference from college but I beg you to be a better person than my son is. Aside from honouring a great woman, he did something great for me, I chose Olivia for Ethan because I believe, that with Olivia, Ethan would be a better person. Just forgive him and let's move on as a family. I appreciate what you did. Standing for what is right despite family relationship," Mr Carter said to Jeremy."It wasn't a difficult decision to take.

"Okay, this case is adjourned till late afternoon," the judge said.The judge left and the courtroom became noisy. Mr Carter stepped out followed by Ethan, Olivia and Jeremy. "With the way things are going how do think this would end," Jeremy asked Mr Carter. "Well, at least the side of Mr Martin and Mr Green is clear. My wife and Mrs Garcia may go down together. They worked together on this," Mr Carter replied "Will you reveal your identity and testify against your wife like you earlier planned?" Jeremy asked. "It may not be necessary with the way things are progressing but if anything changes, I will," Mr Carter replied.Just a distance away from Jeremy and Mr Carter, Ethan was also engaging Olivia in a conversation."I am so sorry for everything you went through," Ethan apologized.

The documents here prove, that all the payments made from Mrs Garcia's account were false. Exhibit D shows Mrs Garcia's statement from the bank. The two documents were printed days and you can see, in one document, the numbers were manipulated to make Mrs Garcia look guilty," Mr Wilson said.The judge looked at all the documents presented. "Council, what do you have to say in defence of your client?" the judge asked"My lord, thank you. My colleague presented a lot of facts with evidence to prove his point. I must say he presented a convincing story but here are the questions; Mrs Carter and Mrs Garcia had conversations on the phone had always been about the welfare of their children.

    Ethan thanked the servant and left for his room. In his room, he sat on the sofa in deep thought of everything his father had told him. Ethan realized when it comes to life and living it, he fails to think on his behalf. He rather allows close relatives to think of him. In his anger, he never gives the one who offended him a chance to at least explain. Ethan lay in bed recalling lots of things that had happened in his life and how he handled them. Unable to sleep, he got down from his bed and exited his room. He wanted to go to Olivia but looking at the time he decided not to disturb Olivia. He heads for the balcony. The light on the balcony was off and the city light was the only light providing some visibility to the balcony. He entered the balcony and found Olivia sitting on the chair. He sat next to her and took her hand in his. "Olivia, I am sorry for how I treated you when we were married. I never protected and never listened to you. I caused you more pain than I claimed to lo

    "Ethan, I am sorry for all the trouble I caused you during our college days. They were not deliberately done," Jeremy apologised and the two hugged each other. "Ethan, please stay and work with me," Jeremy requests and Ethan obliges.Ethan put aside his resentment towards Jeremy and they did a great job at the company together. All the guards Mr Martin brought on board to monitor everyone were sent away. The guards were unhappy but since they didn't have any contract with the company and the one whom they had a contract with had been arrested, they had no option then to leave. The operations of the company were placed back in the previous working system. Employees who were terminated by Mr Martin were all called back and compensated for the injustice done to them. While Ethan and Jeremy handled restoring the operations of the company, Olivia was tasked with handling the new client's request.It was soon 6 p.m. and Ethan asked Olivia to call it a day while he stayed back with Jeremy t
