Ethan sat behind the wheel and drove out of the compound wondering if he should go to Olivia's apartment or the penthouse. He occasionally checked to see if he was being followed but he saw nothing.

Ethan decided to call his father to inform him about his mother leaving the hospital where she was receiving treatment. He connected his phone Bluetooth to the car and dialled his father's number.

"Hello Dad," Ethan said

"Hello Ethan, how did it go?" Mr Carter said

"Dad, did Olivia come to the penthouse?" Ethan asked ignoring his question.

"No, why?" Mr Carter asked

"I am coming over," Ethan said and ended the call.

Ethan checked the cars behind him from the rearview mirror. He made a turn towards the road leading to the penthouse after ensuring he had not been followed. He drove into the garage and stepped out of the car after parking. He walked towards the elevator wondering what was happening to Olivia.

"I am not going to lose Olivia over some properties," Ethan thought as he st

    "We have a swarm of reporters at your gate trying to get in," the guard reported and Jeremy frown"Ethan, what is your game?" Jeremy thought almost crushing the guard's phone in his hands. There was a knock on the door drawing Jeremy's attention to the front door. One of the servants quickly went to answer the door. "Jeremy, what is going on here?" Mr Green asked entering the living room looking angry with Mrs Carter trailing behind him together with Jacqueline. "I don't know yet but I am sure Ethan pull a fast one on me," Jeremy replied dismissing the guard after giving him back his phone and turning off the TV. "I told you that Ethan guy can't be trusted but you wouldn't believe me. We need an aggressive move. Where is that Olivia girl," Mr Green asked. "She is still inside the room," Jeremy replied "You have Olivia here? Perfect, time to slap the shit out of her for touching my husband," Jacqueline said taking her hand gloves off. "No one is touching that girl," Jeremy objec

    "Andrews go get him. If he goes to Jeremy, I am not sure how things will turn out," Mr Carter said and quickly fetched his phone and made a call to someone"Be on standby, the worse may happen. If it does please, move in," Mr Carter said and hoped Jeremy would do the right thing.Outside the penthouse, the garage, Ethan got behind the wheel and drove out of the garage heading out of the compound. Andrews got there just in time to see Ethan drive out. He also got behind the wheel of another car and drove after Ethan. Back at Jeremy's apartment, Jeremy was on the phone with someone."Get those reporters out of my front door," Jeremy said "I don't want my apartment all over social media," Jeremy added"Good," Jeremy said and ended the call."Jeremy, did you ask them to send the reporters away?" Mr Green asked"Yes," replied Jeremy"Why? You could have used them to your advantage?" Mr Green said "How?" Jeremy questioned pacing up and down the living room."Simple, you go to them. Answe

    He turned on his laptop. He sent a message to someone on his phone and then decided to get some work done waiting for nightfall. At a bar nearby, Ethan was sitting behind a table with a bottle of whisky in front of him. Andrews sat down on the chair opposite and tried to reason with him. "Ethan, I understand your concern for Olivia's safety but the way you are going about it is all wrong. Trust your dad. He knows what he is doing," Andrews. "Yes, he does. I have a question for you," Ethan said. "How did you and Davis escape leaving Olivia behind?" Ethan questioned and gulped down a glass of whisky "We were in the basement, Olivia was in the main house and the place was heavily guarded. We had no weapons," Andrews explained. "Convenient. Very convenient. So what you are trying to say here is that you guys were kept at an easy-to-escape place and Olivia was kept at a heavily guarded place. Very convenient, don't you think?" Ethan said sarcastically and Andrews sighed. "Ethan,..."

    "You are right. I will be there early hours of the morning so we can discuss how we will get him out of police custody," Mr Green said and Jeremy acknowledged after which he ended the call. Jeremy sat on the bed staring at his phone screen after the call had ended. He shifted his gaze to Olivia who was lying on the sofa with her leg chained to the sofa. She appeared to be asleep but Jeremy knew she was lying down crying within or lost in thought. Jeremy shifted his gaze back to the phone and dialled a number. He brought the phone to his ears and waited for the call to connect."Hello, Mr Martin is in police custody," Jeremy said once the call was answeredTrue to Jeremy's thought, Olivia was lying on the sofa facing the back of the sofa awake. She was listening to what Jeremy was saying on the phone and trying to make meaning out of it. Olivia did not know what Mr Martin did but she was sure that if Mr Martin was in police custody, it was because he did something bad and Ethan got h

    The servant hurried to the door and opened it. Jeremy was sitting calmly on the sofa while Mr Green watched the entrance wondering who would walk through the front door. Mr Green frowned seeing the person who had entered Jeremy's apartment. Davis and three other officers in uniform were standing in the living room of Jeremy. Mr Green turns to look at Jeremy hoping for an explanation but rather sees Oliva descending the staircase into the living room walking free. "Son, what is going on?" Mr Green asked looking at Jeremy "Dad, that is not how you welcome a good friend from the past," Jeremy said and sat down on the sofa crossing his legs. "Karma came to visit," Jeremy added. Olivia walked into the living room and found herself a seat. Mr Green looked at the Jeremy and Olivia. He turned his gaze to the officers who were just standing. One of them was holding a handcuff in his hand. "I don't suppose they are here for me," Mr Green said already concluding the officers were there for

He wanted to hit Jeremy again but Mr Carter stopped him."Ethan, calm down. What is wrong with you? I know a lot had happened for you not to like Mr Gustav here but he is in my apartment and I am not angry at him, and neither is your father. At least know why we have welcomed him before you act on old feelings," Olivia said."I see," Ethan said and raised his eyebrow"This is what I get for defending you," he said raising his hand and making a fist.He walked out of the living room and Olivia went after him.

    "Mr Green, only went for Jeremy to do to him exactly what he did to me. In the end, Jeremy will go to prison, we will lose some of our properties and Mr Green will get to walk free. Jeremy reached out to Officer Davis and he brought him to me. He was very delighted to see me alive. We planned this together and it was through Jeremy we found evidence of Mr Green's life work documented by Jeremy's grandfather but as usual, your perception about Jeremy got in the way. You need to forgive and forget, Ethan. You guys were children back then. Let go of it. Be an adult for once when it comes to life and stop being childish," Mr Carter said and left Ethan to his thoughts. At the Garcias, Mr Wilson was with Mr Garcia and Isabella.

    "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.

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

    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. 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.

    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

"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.

    "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.

    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
