Mr Garcia was wondering what was happening to his best friend's wife even though he was happy no one would interfere with the investigation for the truth to free his wife if what Isabella was saying was true. 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
It was soon 6 p.m. and Olivia was not back home. Ethan had started the process for a divorce and had returned to Olivia's apartment after helping his father with a few things. He called Olivia's phone when it was quarter to 7 p.m. and there was still no sign of her but her phone was off."Dad, Olivia is still not home," Ethan announced to his father"I am coming over," Mr Carter replied and ended the call.Mr Carter dialled Andrews's number and brought the phone to his ears and patiently waited for it to connect."Andrews, meet me at Olivia's apartment," Mr Carter said and ended the call after Andrews had acknowledged. Mr Carter grabbed his car keys and headed for the exit. He pressed for the elevator and entered once it was open. Waiting for the elevator to get to the ground floor felt like forever. The beeping sound of the elevator brought some relief to Mr Carter for the long wait inside the machine. He stepped out of the elevator and quickly sat behind the wheel and drove out of
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
At Mr Garcia's home, later in the day, Mr Garcia heard a knock on his door and he went to answer it. It was Mr Carter and a young lady. He invited them in and ushered them to the living room. "You are welcome," Mr Garcia said and Olivia stood to her feet looking at Mr Garcia.Mr Garcia looked at the young lady wondering what she was doing."Daddy," Olivia said and Mr Garcia stared at her."Olivia?" 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. Olivia got emotional too and hugged him."Forgive me, my daughter. I didn't protect you as a father. I abandoned you and watched while people treated you badly. I don't deserve you. I am so sorry," Mr Garcia said while hugging Olivia."It is okay, Dad. I
The next day, a Saturday, the news channels were hit with shocking news of Mr Carter being alive. Mr Garcia was sitting behind his TV when he saw the news of Mr Carter being alive. His eyes widened. "Isabella, come quick," Mr Garcia shouted from the living room."What happened?" Isabella asked as she descended the staircase into the living room."Look," Mr Garcia replied with his eyes fixated on the television set as he pointed to the screen."Mr Carter is alive?" Isabella asked in shock."So who did we bury?" Isabella asked and Mr Garcia shrugged his shoulders.Isabella sat down and Mr Garcia increased the volume to listen to what the reporter was saying."The city of New York woke up to an interesting news about Mr Carter the well-known billionaire whose burial service we held at the church a couple of months ago and later sent to the grave to be buried to be very much alive. As you can see behind him, he was supported this morning by one reporter when he was exiting the courthouse
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. "I would advise you not to give him a hard time but just sign your part and you will be promised a peaceful day in prison," the lawyer said offering Mrs
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. Growing up, I heard some stories about my uncle even though I didn't kn
"Do you have any other anything else you would like to present in defence of your client?" the judge "That will be all my lord," Mrs Carter's lawyer said. "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. "It is in the past now. Let's just move o
"Mrs Carter found out that Mrs Garcia had filed the case against her and Mrs Carter decided to teach Mrs Garcia a lesson. The kidnap was on the stage and Mrs Garcia was framed. 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. It was true Mrs Garcia misunderstood the late Mr Carter's choice of a bride for his son and assumed it was her daughter, Ms C
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
