"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
"Jeremy, your friend," Olivia added "What!" all three men said in unison. "Why will Jeremy take over my company?" Ethan said and pulled out his phone to call Jeremy "What are you doing, Ethan," Mr Carter seeing Ethan was on his phone "Calling Jeremy," Ethan replied and brought the phone to his ears "No need son. He would not answer," Mr Carter said putting both hands into his pocket. "How did you know?" Ethan questioned with a frown bringing his hand down after the phone had rung severally but no one answered. "It is complicated. Let's all go home and I will tell you. Olivia is already tired," Mr Caryer suggested and Ethan nodded pulling Olivia with him. They all head back to the car. Ethan sat in the back seat with Olivia and Mr Carter in the co-driver seat with Andrews behind the wheel. Andrews brought the car to live and headed for the main road. Olivia rested her head on Ethan's shoulders and Ethan wrapped his hands around her. Mr Carter asked Andrews to drive to the p
"Before I met Olivia's mother, I was a con artist, just like Mr Green," Mr Carter said and Andrews and Ethan's jaw dropped. "I was raised in the orphanage but they schooled me to a senior high level. I don't know what happened to my parents but that was something I was not interested in so I never bothered to find out. Life as it is was already difficult. I needed to survive after running away from the orphanage. The treatment there was bad. I could not get any proper job and ended up living off people either by asking or stealing," Mr Green narrated "I met Mr Green, also a teenager like my life. He had lived on the streets longer than me who just run away from the orphanage. He taught me everything I knew about con. We were making good money so I never saw anything wrong with it. I lived this life for a year. One day, Mr Green came to me talking about a big con," Mr Carter narrated; ******** A couple of years back ************** "Hey, Carter," came Mr Green's voice "Green?" Mr
