How are you doing today," she enquired and walked towards the table. She placed the tray down and uncovered it. She dished some cereal into the bowl and brought it to Mr Carter."Smells nice.

When?" Mr Garcia exclaimed."It is on the news," she reported Mr and Mrs Garcia followed Camila out of the bedroom towards the living room. Jonathan met them on the staircase and they all went down together. Mr Garcia turned on the TV and it was all over the news channels as a breaking news. "Oh my God, so he never recovered from the accident?" Camila cried and sunk into the sofa. Jonathan just stood there with his hands on his waist watching the TV screen in total shock.

My Angel Chapter 43: The Burial
"I need to confirm my suspicion that Camila is indeed pregnant," she thought and quickly fetched her phone and dialled a number."I have a job for you," she said as soon as the call connected. She spoke on the phone for a while and made another call to make arrangements for her husband's burial.She came downstairs to find Ethan still in the living room sitting on the sofa looking lost. "The burial is in two days," she said and Ethan turned to look at her descending the staircase towards the living room.He was surprised she was able to make arrangements and set a day for his father's burial considering it's been only a couple of hours since he passed. Earlier she could not be consoled as tears streamed down her face like waterfalls."Mum, I am here for you and I will always be," he promised believing she was just acting strong.All they have left is each other. He was the only son of his parents. His mother, he knew was an orphan and his father who also happened to be the only son
My Angel Chapter 44: Take Care of Olivia
After the burial of Mr Carter, Ethan dropped his mother at home and returned to his apartment to get ready to move in with his mother. This was not how he was expecting things to turn out. He wanted his father to get well but it appears that is a wish that could not be granted. "Derby, we are leaving this place. I cannot stay here any more," he informed the house help."Does it mean I don't have a job any more?" she asked making Ethan frown."I said we. Now go put things in order," he ordered and the servant left.Ethan sat on the sofa and recalled memories of his father. His eyes were quickly filled with tears as the memories filled his mind. Back at Carter's apartment, Mrs Carter was in her bedroom already over her husband, thinking of what to do with Olivia. Ethan will be moving in and she can't afford for the two to meet. After thinking for a while, she fetched her phone, dialled a number and spoke to someone on the call briefly. Once she was done, she exited the bedroom and h

She tried a couple of numbers and finally unlocked the phone. She smiled finding out her password was the day they became friends. Trying to understand the message sent. She replied to the message.[I need details]She got another notification with an image. [Olivia eliminated]She stood to her feet abruptly dropping the phone into a glass of water which also fell to the ground shattering into pieces. "What happened?" Mrs Carter jolted up from her sleep.Patricia quickly composed herself hearing Mrs Carter's voice. "I am so sorry, I think I broke your phone," she said and quickly picked up the phone draining the water out of it"How?" she asked finding it strange the phone and a glass of water went down at the same time "I..I... was reading something and putting the glass of water down. I don't know how but next the glass fell and

"I understand," Ethan acknowledged taking the envelope from her"Where is the Conference?" he asked "Italy," she replied "When?" he asked opening the envelope."The conference starts on Monday but we have to be in Italy by Sunday," she replied while Ethan went through the details of the conference. "Okay, I will give you feedback by the close of the day today," he replied with no expression Jacqueline realizes Ethan was extra cold. She got up from the seat and moved close to him. She moved behind him, held his shoulders and tried to massage him."What are you doing?" He questioned his voice very deep and unwelcoming "Just trying to make you relax. You are too tensed up," she replied moving away from behind him "I don't entertain romance in my company. I am not starting one in my office," he said sternly "I am sorry," she apologized and took her seat. Sitting down provocatively. She has her eyes on Ethan and wants him for herself. At first, her father had convinced her to come t

She got out and was led by one of the bodyguards to see Mrs Carter"Welcome Camila, do you care for some tea?" she asked with a smile and Camila smiled back"I would prefer water," Camila replied as they headed for the study."Water it is," she said and asked the servant to bring Camila some water and a bottle of wine for herself. Inside the study, they both sat down comfortably on the sofa opposite each other. Mrs Carter sat feeling more relaxed as Camila sat hanging like she was in an interview. "Camila, I know you and Ethan slept together once," she began but paused when the servant returned with a tray of water and wine together with glasses.She placed them on the table and left after confirming Mrs Carter did not need anything else"I also noticed your discomfort and subsequently what happened in the washroom. I am a woman and I know what those signs are for. I will go straight to the point. Are you pregna

Same time at the Green's apartment, Jacqueline was going through her wardrobe selecting outfits for her stay with Ethan in Italy."Getting ready for your trip?" came Mr Green's voice making Jacqueline smile"More like a vacation. I don't care about the conference. I never had. The good news is, this time I don't have to sit there for them to take pictures of me and later stand behind a podium and inspire people," she expressed "I can see you like this Ethan guy," he said "Yes, Father. He is a man like no other. He commands respect, he is handsome and very strong," she said closing her eyes and recalling her kiss with Ethan.She touched her lips forgetting her father was in the room. His father cleared his throat and she snapped back to reality"If you like him that much bring him home," his father said and left the room leaving her to continue her packing.At the Company,

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
My Angel Chapter 146: Reconciliation Day
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. "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
My Angel Chapter 140: The Court Proceedings - Part 2
"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
