"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
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 wondered what that meant seeing it was from an unknown number. Patricia stared at Mrs Carter who was sleeping and out of curiosity took her phone. 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
At the Carter's, Camila drove in and parked her car under the car shed. 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
The day went by and soon Ethan closed from work and returned home. He got his things ready for the Italy trip. 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,
At the penthouse, the doctor was also checking Olivia who had just woken up from her sleep. She went to see the man after she was done with her examination."She has recovered very well. For her memory, just give it time," she reported "Her health?" he asked "We have to start the reversal treatment?" she reported "That means we can not send her to Italy," he said conclusively "No problem, start the reversal treatment. I have a different plan," he said and the doctor nodded and left the room to attend to Olivia. Back at the Carter's, Ethan had just returned home from work. He went straight to his room and took a shower before meeting with his mother in the dining area for supper. "How was work today?" she enquired dishing some food into her plate"All good," he replied and poured himself a glass of water."How is your preparation towards the trip? You only have tomorrow," she asked with a reminder"Good," he replied making his mother frown"What you mean good. I wanted more detai
The whole day passed uneventfully and Ethan left the next day for Italy as scheduled. And Camila also moved into the apartment given to her by Mrs Carter. She smiled looking at the luxury surrounding her"Mrs Carter is not bad after all," she thought smiling unaware of the real motive behind moving her out of her home.She took one step and two ladies joined her in the living room both in uniforms and so did a woman in a white coat and a gentleman in a black tuxedo."Er, who are you?" Camila asked staring at the four pairs of eyes looking at her."I am Mavis," one of the ladies in uniform replied"I am Marian," the other introduce"I am Dr Chloe," replied the next lady"I am Martin, your bodyboard," said the man in a tuxedo"We are at your service," they said in unison"Wow, Mrs Carter got all of this for me," Camila thought with a smile "Thank you," she replied with a smile and Martin took her bag upstairs to what would be her room"Come with me Ms Camila," the doctor said to her"
