My Angel Chapter 77: Engagement Party
"Congratulations, your dream has come true. You will be my personal bodyguard," Ethan said with a handshake and Andrews accepted it with a smile."Thank you, Ethan," Andrews appreciated with a smile"You are welcome, Peter," Ethan"All the guards have their quarters. So I will give you this week to move in," Ethan said "That sounds perfect," Andrews acknowledgedHe left the office and Ethan continued with his work. The secretary walked in with some files and Ethan stared at her."What are these?" He asked "The hard copies of the reports," she replied "Put them in their place," he said and continued working on his laptop."Have I signed them off already?" he asked "Yes please," she replied "Okay," Ethan acknowledged and continued working on his laptop. The secretary finished filing the documents and left the office. Back at the Garcia's, Asira went to knock on Mrs. Garcia's door. It was past 11 a.m. and she had still not come out of her room. Camila had already left the house an
My Angel Chapter 78: It is for the Best
"Friday is your Engagement Party," she announced excitedly and Ethan frowned immediately but Jacqueline was so excited. "I was talking to your father on the phone a while ago and we agree the coming Friday is the best time to announce you two to the world," she said and placed her hand on Jacqueline's shoulders walking her into the living room. Ethan was rooted to his spot wondering why his mother would plan an engagement party without disguising it with him first. He stood there watching the two ladies enter the living room chatting. He entered the living room and they were both sitting together still chatting. He walked past the two and went upstairs and none of them turned to even look at him. It was like he was invisible. "You said announcing it to the world, does it mean there will be media coverage?" Jacqueline asked "Yes. He is my only son and I want his big day to be big," Mrs Carter said"That is great," Jacqueline replied but inwardly wasn't okay with the media coverage.
My Angel Chapter 79: This Can't Happen
"Let me handle things and trust me on this. Believe me, it is for the best. Mr Green informed me that Jacqueline would be travelling. I am not sure she has been told yet. This is why we are doing the engagement. It is for the best," she explained and Ethan stared at her in silence thinking through what his mother had just told him. "Fine. I was going to propose to her anyway," Ethan said"You were?" Mrs Carter asked "Yes, I getting her a ring tomorrow for the proposal this weekend," he replied. "It is not too late Ethan. You get the ring and you can propose to her at the engagement party. She prefers the beach at sunset," Mrs Carter said excitedly and Ethan forced a smile to his face. "Now, you didn't eat anything at all. So I will ask Derby to bring you some tea for the night," she said and Ethan nodded before Mrs Carter exited his room. A few minutes after his mother had left, Derby entered carrying a covered tray after a knock. Ethan directed her to put it on the table. He cha
My Angel Chapter 80: Familiarity
"What happened?" Mrs Garcia asked standing at the opened door."Ethan got engaged," Mr Garcia replied hugging Camila as he tried to calm her down. "Sorry to hear that. That was going to happen anyway, sooner or later. It is best you let him go," Mrs Garcia said still standing at the door. "Camila, your mother is right. If Ethan cares about you, he would not engage another woman," Mr Garcia said to her."That is because he doesn't know he had fathered a child inside me," she cried. "Ethan doesn't know Camila is pregnant for him?" Mr Garcia asked alternating his gaze between Camila and his wife."Matthew, it was not in my place to tell Ethan about her pregnancy and besides I had bigger problems to deal with," she replied making some gestures with her hand like it was not significant."I think Ethan needs to know about his child so he can decide what he wants to do," he said recalling how he had treated his daughter Olivia and how it ended."But you can't do it now. If you do, it woul
My Angel Chapter 81: Ethan, Focus
Before the secretary could reply a lady entered the office wearing a black ladies suit. Ethan stared at her and felt like he knew the lady from somewhere."Good afternoon, I am Olivia Williams. I was invited here for an interview," Olivia introduced. "Olivia," Ethan repeated the name in his thought still staring at the lady standing in his office. She bore the same name as his Olivia but she looked different. Ethan was still staring at the beauty before him completely lost."Am I in the wrong place?" Olivia asked snapping Ethan out of his daze."Do you know anything about an interview?" Ethan directed his question to his secretary like he wasn't the one staring at the stranger a few minutes ago. "Yes, sir. The procurement officer sent in a resignation three days ago," she reported. "Why?" he asked. "I am not sure. He just sent in a resignation and went MIA," she replied."What do you mean?" he asked forgetting there was a stranger in the office with them."Wait, send her to the
My Angel Chapter 82: This is Good News
"Dad, I want to get married to Ethan now and I want the wedding to be big. I want it to be live-streamed," she said to the surprise of her father."Jacqueline, where are you?" he asked "Just leaving Ethan's office," she replied "Come home let's talk," he saidAfter Jacqueline left, Ethan continued with his work. He called the head of guards to his office."Good afternoon sir," Andrews greeted"Hello Peter, how are you?" Ethan inquired "I am good. Trust you are good too," Andrews replied "I am good. I need you to do something for me. My fiancee just left this place and I know she is upset with me. I need you to pick up some pieces of jewellery and nine-roses and have them delivered to her house for me," Ethan requested "No problem, Sir," Andrews replied "Here is her address," Ethan wrote Jacqueline's address on a piece of paper and gave it to Andrews."When do you want them delivered?" Andrews asked "She would not go home now, so if you can have it delivered now. It would be a p

"I tasked someone to hack into the system and this is how we got this information," he added"This is good news for us," Mr Garcia said. "So what next? Do we share this with the police?" Mrs Garcia asked "No, not yet. We need to find out if the police are trustworthy," the lawyer said. "How do we do that?" Mr Garcia asked."Leave that to me. I have a plan. I will be going to the police station later today. I will see Inspector Davis and his boss. I would find out which one of them is a mole or if they have a mole among them," he replied "Great, I will get ready so we can go then," Mr Garcia "No, you can't come with me yet. Take the time to rest. I will let you know what happens," he said, standing to his feet."It is also part of my plan. I want them to feel I am sharing what I have found. Let's see how that plays out," he added"You are going to tell them about the account?" Mrs Garcia asked "No, I have something else just to find the mole," he replied and Mrs Garcia just nodde
My Angel Chapter 84: The Interview
Andrews took the address and headed for the hotel. Ethan sat in the back seat browsing through his phone when his hands froze. He blinked twice and kept looking at his phone screen. Andrews was about to make a turn so he turned his gaze to the mirror on the side to check for an oncoming vehicle. In the process, he caught briefly Ethan's face in the rear-view mirror. Returning to focus on the road after the turn, he looked at him again in the rear-view mirror to confirm what he had seen earlier. Ethan was looking at something on his phone and he could tell whatever it was, was making him angry. "Sir, is everything alright?" Andrews asked trying to find out what was happening to him. "Nothing important, just drive," Ethan replied not taking his eyes off his phone. Andrews could tell from Ethan's body language he was looking at something he didn't at all like but since he was not ready to share, he could only focus on his driving. They soon arrived at the hotel. "Sir, we are here

My Angel Chapter 148: Forgiveness repairs Relationships
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
My Angel Chapter 147: An Opportunity to Make Amends
At Mr Garcia's home, later in the day, Mr Garcia heard a knock on his door and he went to answer it. It was Mr Carter and a young lady. He invited them in and ushered them to the living room. "You are welcome," Mr Garcia said and Olivia stood to her feet looking at Mr Garcia.Mr Garcia looked at the young lady wondering what she was doing."Daddy," Olivia said and Mr Garcia stared at her."Olivia?" 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. As you can see behind him, he was supported this morning by one reporter when he was exiting the courthouse
My Angel Chapter 145: Mrs Carter's Freedom for Change
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
My Angel Chapter 144: Mrs Carter's Promised Freedom
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
My Angel Chapter 143: The Judge's Verdict
"Do you have any other anything else you would like to present in defence of your client?" the judge "That will be all my lord," Mrs Carter's lawyer said. "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. It was true Mrs Garcia misunderstood the late Mr Carter's choice of a bride for his son and assumed it was her daughter, Ms C
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
