"I divorced Olivia," he said in a broken voice and dropped the signed document in an envelope on the table."I am so sorry to hear that my baby," she said hugging him but inwardly she rejoiceMrs Carter asked one of the servants to prepare one of the guest rooms for Ethan. He sat down for a while and waited for his mother to finish with the servant."So how did it all happen?" she asked sitting on the sofa adjacent to the one Ethan was sitting on"Mum, let's do this some other time," he replied not ready to talk about details.He divorced Olivia because he felt he was doing so many mistakes with her by his side. It may sound stupid but he needed to put a stop to some of the things happening."Mum, I would like to see Dad," he requested and got up about to head for the bedroom"Ethan," she called out and paused thinking of how to tell Ethan her husband was in the servant's quarters and what explanation will make sense"Your father, he..... Well, he is in the servant's quarters," she sa
Olivia had no choice but to leave. Standing outside the gate she thought of going to Carter's residence hoping Mrs Carter will offer her a job in exchange for a roof over her head. With this in mind, she headed for the bus stop to get a bus to the Carter's Later in the day, Mrs Carter was about to step out when she saw a familiar figure at the gate. She looked back at the house and hurried her steps to the gate. It was Olivia. "What are you doing here?" she asked grabbing her arms and sending her back out the gate "Please, I have nowhere to go and Mrs Garcia would not accept me. Please would I get a job here? I am willing to do anything you will assign to me," she replied with a request and the side of Mrs Carter's lips curled up "With his medical doctor, my husband will get better but if Olivia takes care of him, I am sure his situation may get worse and eventually he will pass on," she thought looking at Olivia with a slight smile on her face "You will do anything?" she aske
"Ethan, with everything going on, it is time you go back to work. You will have something to occupy yourself," she suggested and Ethan gave it a thought "You are right mum," he acknowledged "Your father already wanted you to manage his business. It will be good to take over and manage it in his absence," she added and Ethan nodded. "Have you had dinner already?" she asked "I don't feel like eating. I will be fine," he added "I will have the servant send over some snacks. Not good to go to bed on an empty stomach," she proposed and Ethan accepted. Mrs Carter exited the room and a few minutes later, there was a knock on Ethan's door. The servant entered with a tray which she placed on the table Ethan showed her and she exited the room. Ethan just climbed into bed and tried to sleep without even looking at what was on the tray. Mrs Carter upon exiting Ethan's room went to the servant's quarters. She went to her husband's room and found Olivia reading him a book "Oh, so you ca
Back at the servant quarters, Olivia noticed Mr Carter's medications have been tampered with but she was not sure how to put them back the way the nurse had arranged it. "Don't worry, I can help you," came Mr Carter's voice"I am sorry for waking you," Olivia apologized"Don't worry. I know the medications I am taking. Don't worry about the arrangement," he said "Thank you, Mr Carter," Olivia acknowledged feeling relief."Olivia, come sit here," Mr Carter invited and Olivia moved from the table and went to sit on the chair next to Mr Carter's bed. "Olivia, I am really sorry for putting you through all this. You being here tells me, things didn't work out between you and my son but before I say anything, tell me what happened," Mr Carter asked "I don't really know. I did my best to follow all the rules Mrs Carter gave me. Ms Garcia was also very helpful but everything went wrong. I don't even know what I did wrong," she narrated with tears in her eyes"It's okay. It is not your fau
"She told me she was going to get some medication from the hospital," his mother replied and Ethan acknowledged getting into the car. The driver drove out of the compound heading for the office to assume his father's role as the New CEO. While Ethan was on his way to work Mrs Carter thought of a way to cover up the nurse's absence and secretly keep Olivia to attend to her husband until he gives up the ghost.While in her thoughts with no solution her phone buzzed. She checked the caller ID and smiled. She answered and brought the phone to her ears. "Hello Mr Green," she greeted recalling their conversation from the private room."Hello Mrs Carter, Hope you are well," he enquired"I couldn't be better. You calling alone is enough to tell me this relationship will work," she replied with a smile "Glad to hear you feel positive about all this. I spoke with my daughter and she will be coming over to see the company's operations. It is up to you to make Ethan and my daughter like each
She had her golden hair tied up in a bun exposing her long beautiful neck which she had adorned with a small pearl chain. She was in a blue-black office dress which hugged her body showing her beautiful curves. She had long beautiful legs and she spoke eloquently.Ethan stared at her for a while before accepting her handshake. She had a small beautiful bracelet on her wrist. Mrs Carter looked at the two and smiled seeing how Ethan was staring at her. Ethan accepted the handshake and the lady smiled. Her smile was very seductive in a way."Ms Green. Jacqueline Green," she introduced and Ethan squinted his eyes briefly as the name rang a bell.Before today, he had heard the name before but he could not recall where he had heard the name."Ethan Carter," replied Ethan"Finally, I met the famous Mr Carter," Jacqueline commented but Ethan was struggling with his personal problems and hence was not amused by her statement.He forced a brief smile on his face and returned to his ice-cold au
Mrs Carter smiled some more as she watch her son eat slowly. She knew he was going to think about it and will agree to it. Ethan is all about helping society and making good business deals. This may not be one of the things he would look at but it will help people in the society and hence will give it a chance. "Hey son, I know how you feel but trust me, Olivia was a bad choice from the start. With her, your destruction was not far and to top it all she was incapable of having children.," she began and leaned forward to continue"Look, It is good you resumed work, it will reduce the thinking. Again, I think Mr Green's daughter's proposal sounds good. It will be a good distraction to help you heal," she tried to comfort him.Ethan lifted his head slowly to look at his mother. In his eyes, you could read the pain of betrayal. Hearing his mother speak of Olivia, he remembered the day and the reason he decided to let Olivia go. His pain instantly turned into anger. He retrieved his phone
"What games are you playing?" she asked as soon as Mrs Carter answered the call. "What do you mean?" Mrs Carter asked with a frown"Don't play innocent with me. You know what I am talking about," she replied"I clearly do not understand," Mrs Carter insisted"Fine, I will see you tomorrow," Mrs Garcia said and ended the call"I hope I am wrong about this," she thought after ending the call while sitting on the bed. There was a knock on the door and Jonathan entered. She quickly started smiling but Jonathan had already noticed the fury she had earlier."Mum, is everything okay?" he asked with concern."Everything is fine. Just something I saw in a magazine that is putting me off. Nothing serious. What do you want?" she replied "I have not seen you since we got back from the office. I just wanted to see you," he replied "Aww, aren't you just sweet," she acknowledged "I see Camila is back. Will she be going back to keep Olivia company again?" he asked "No, my son. Ethan divorced Ol
