"I just received this from an unknown number". There is trouble in paradise," she said showing Ethan her phone screen and he frowned He stared at the image on the screen for a while and turned his gaze away from the phone. Mrs Carter put the phone down by lowering her hand which she had raised to show Ethan the image. "This is why I was against the marriage. Such girls have more up their sleeves than a refuse dump site. They act coy just to look innocent in your eyes. Did you bother to ask about her or you allowed her beauty to deceive you?" Mrs Carter said looking disappointed "Mum, that doesn't mean anything," he defended confused about what to believe.If anything, Olivia was just standing in front of the hotel. It didn't mean she slept there but what he was trying to understand is why she will go there when their home is forty-five minutes drive away. "Of course, seeing your wife, standing in front of a hotel waiting for only God knows who doesn't mean anything," she replied

"My son is not stupid. He defended her in my presence but he will try to find out. I hope your daughter was smart not to leave loose ends," she replied "Camila is smart. Let's drop the final after this," Mrs Garcia suggested "The earlier the better," replied Mrs Carter with a laughInside the estates, Ethan's apartment, Ethan after dismissing Derby stayed in the study for a while before exiting. He headed for the bedroom. A part of him wants to believe there is an honest explanation for what happened and it is a situation of clear misunderstanding but it looks like the only alibi Olivia has is his thought. He pushed the bedroom door open and found Olivia sleeping. He closed the door gently behind him and walked closer to the bed to get a clear view of her as the bed curtain was blocking his view. He stared at the beauty sleeping peacefully on the bed. She was lying down facing up. The sheet covered up to her chest and her head was tilted to the side. Even in her sleep, she is unde

"Olivia, no need, drink the milk and go," Camila suggested pouring her a glass of milk from a separate jug.Ethan saw it but didn't think about it much as his mind was focused on his father. Olivia drank the glass of milk Camila poured for her and got up from behind the dining table following Ethan out. Camila had a smile on her face as she watched Olivia but as soon as she exited the dining room with Ethan she frowned"Derby, come clear the table," she ordered. "Throw this away. Something fell into it," she said to Derby pointing to the small jar she had poured the milk from for Olivia. After a few minutes drive, Ethan arrived at Carter's residence. He stepped out of the car after the guard opened the door for him and he held out his hand to Olivia. She placed her hand in his and also stepped out of the car. Hand in hand, they walked towards the mansion. One of the servants saw them and opened the front door for them. "Welcome Sir Ethan," she greeted and Ethan responded with a '
My Angel Chapter 24: Power in our hands
"Your father will be better off at home," she added and they both exited the ward allowing the medical practitioners to do their work. All this while, Olivia was sitting inside the car parked at the hospital's parking lot. The guard stood outside giving her some privacy. Ethan did the paperwork and Mrs Carter packed Mr Carter's stuff from the ward. The ambulance was ready and Mr Carter was moved into it. Ethan wanted to be with his father so he joined the ambulance and Mrs Carter went back to use the ride they had come in. The ambulance drove out of the hospital compound while Mrs Carter took her time walking towards their parked ride. "Olivia, get out of the car," she commended as soon as she arrived realizing the guard was nowhere in sight and Olivia obliged. "The ride will be full in a few minutes, you can find your way home or use this coin to call Jeremy to come pick you up," she said with a straight face and Olivia just nodded and took the coin from her. All her life,

"Perfect. I have 100% control over my husband and now with your husband's authority taken away from him we have the power in our hands to decide the future of that stupid marriage," Mrs Garcia said "Yes, I have a plan, you can come over tomorrow so we discuss it. Ethan will be resuming work tomorrow. He will return to his apartment. We will have the house to ourselves," she suggested and Mrs Garcia agreed. At the hospital, Ethan annoyed with Olivia's sneaky behaviour dragged her by her hand into the car. He had one hand in a sling but he was still vital to pull her with the only free hand. Again, Olivia didn't put up a fight as she allowed herself to be dragged by Ethan, in a public place like that. "Drive," he growled at the guard and he quickly put the car into motion. "Sir, please destination," he asked looking at him through the rear-view mirror "To my apartment, I will go see my father later in the day," he said and the car went back to silent with Olivia sitting in the b

He waited for his turn to make a turn.While waiting his mind run wild on what was happening back at home, forgetting Olivia was not alone with Jeremy in his apartment. His whole imagination started with the image on his phone.He looked at the image one more time and he could only see the back of Jeremy's head, the top of Olivia's head and her hand hugging Jeremy's back. He shut his eyes already concluding Jeremy was kissing Olivia.

Since the incident of his cheating which led to a series of unpleasant events, he had never seen her this happy. It made him smile. "What is the excitement about?" he asked in wonder and she smiled "Well, I finally corrected the stupid mistake you made," she announced happily "A stupid mistake I made..."

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.

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 in shock."So who did we bury?"

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.

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
My Angel Chapter 142: Lawyers Battle Out In Court
"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.

My Angel Chapter 141: The Court Processing - Part 3
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
