She looks like Wonder woman, a beautiful vixen that kills with her her beauty. .Mara expected Ethan's bodyguard but none came, then she decided to take always into her hands. Mara got up and dusted her dress and made to leave the scene when a Toyota Hilux car drove into the building.Just then he walked in majestically, exuding all kingship aura he needed. Any sage would have said he was a king in his past life as he looked handsome and cool in the cashmere dress she was wearing. "Damn he's so handsome, I think no other teacher is as handsome as him" Susan was stunned for a while as she followed thier gazes. She saw the tall figure standing too far and was caught in Surprise. Mara turned around as well, her jaw dropped upon seeing him. Her knees Became weak as she saw him approach them.The man was extremely good-looking and charismatic. His eyes look sharp and cold. The black shirt and pants he was wearing made him look appealing from afar. He seems to have a unique aura around
Everyone seems to have forgotten about what happened at the play scene , the anniversary was a success.Everything returned to normal, then one day at school.During lunch break, everyone was eating, and the dining hall was buzzing as usual. Mara arrived late because the teacher asked her to stay and clean the laboratory before going for lunch.She took her food of Samosa and eggs and proceeded to her seat, but Speedy and Susan blocked her with their tray.Mara tried to excuse herself, but they were obstinate."Hey, Mara, did you think you could go scot-free after all that happened at the playground?" Speedy asked walking up to her.Mara stood her ground and waited for whatever they had to say then Susan joined the rhapsody, "She thinks she's someone special because she's a married person. If not for seeing her admission form, we wouldn't have known she's married to some old man," Susan spat.Mara didn't make any reply because she was really famished; she didn't joke with her stomach
Once outside, Mara couldn't help but confront Killian, who had followed her."Why did you intervene earlier?" she asked bluntly.Killian smiled with a gentle smile on his face, "Aren't we seatmates? Seatmates are supposed to help each other, aren't they?" Mara's face was not smiling, instead she was frowning in deep anger. "Don't meddle yourself in my personal life or business. We are seatmates, not soulmates," Mara retorted before walking away, leaving Killian amused by her audacity.During lunchtime, Speedy and Susan approached Mara's seat to bully her as usual. Mara keeps wondering why none of them talked about what happened at the playground, perhaps they had forgotten about the issue.Sitting down opposite her with her plate of food, Susan sneered, "Look at her, eating like a dog," "I wonder what her lame name 'MARA' means," Speedy added sitting beside her. Mara ignored their taunts and continued eating, unfazed by their words."Hey, Mara, listen up! I dare you to come to the
The car winded into the building as Mara quickly get out and opened the door for ger husband. "Hubby, I'm sorry for causing trouble," Mara said apologetically as they arrived home.Ethan was surprised at her sudden submissives, "How many times will you say your apologies? I can't let you be bullied. I like the fact that you can defend yourself," he replied, stepping out of the car."So sweet, hubby... But, hubby... Evelyn and Lucian," she said with coyness.His face darkened at the mention of her friends, "Don't mention those illiterates to me... Especially that guy... I don't want you to be associated with those ruffians," he said vehemently.Seeing no harm in continue talking about her friends, Mara continued, "But, hubby, they don't bite... They're my friends," Still frowning, he can't just fathom why she was hellbent on making him understand things from her point of view. They were her cahoots, if she was thier sister, would they have let her Continue such dangerous profession e
As they arrived at the school gate, Adrian bombarded them with questions about their night together, but Mara and Ethan remained silent.Mara attempted to get out of the car, but Ethan held her back and insisted they enter together.Susan and Speedy had improved, but they were avoiding other students due to rumors spreading around the school compound."Did you hear that Mara beat up Susan and Speedy?""They act tough, but they're weaklings.""What idiots they are..."Laughter echoed as the school compound bustled with activity, cars coming and going.However, the arrival of a particular car caught everyone's attention. Mara and her husband, Ethan, stepped out of the car, leaving the onlookers puzzled.Noticing their confusion, Ethan leaned in and gave Mara a quick kiss, causing her to blush and protest."Hubby, what are you doing? My classmates are watching," she whispered, feeling flustered."Aren't I your husband? I'm free to show affection to my wife, right?" Ethan replied loudly,
"Lauren, tell me you're joking... You're just saying all that to calm her down, right? You never loved her mother, did you? She only seduced you, isn't it?" Astrid asked, her voice filled with hope."Astrid... I... I..." Lauren stuttered, unable to form a coherent response."Dad, so you love Mara's mother and made me believe that her mother seduced you?" Maya asked in shock."Maya, please leave here with Mara. I have something to tell your mother," Lauren requested, trying to divert attention."No, Lauren, everything must be settled here and now... I want to know who my mother is... I'm tired of being called illegitimate... This old woman shouldn't have died... you killed her!" Mara shouted, tears streaming down her face.Maya rushed to her side, offering comfort and support."Mara, I'm sorry. I didn't know this was the true story. Mother and father only said that... she seduced him," Maya apologized, also in tears."Actually... That old nanny is not actually a nanny... She... She...
"Good morning, Dr. Mara. My condolences for your loss," Killian expressed as she returned to school."Thank you, Dr. Killian. Any news on Speedy and Susan?" Mara inquired."They haven't arrived yet," he informed her.Shortly thereafter, the class commenced. Mara, Speedy, Susan, and Killian maintained a cordial relationship, despite their prior disagreements.Maya's mother was cremated, and the old nanny laid to rest in her hometown.They collectively agreed to keep LL's accidental push of his wife a secret. When questioned by the authorities, they provided a false account of her fall.With the absence of her mother's guidance, Maya struggled to find her footing. Though tempted to leave her father's home, she pondered her options. LL assured her of sponsoring her Food Science studies at university.Mara, on the other hand, had firmly rejected LL and vowed never to associate with him again. She enjoyed a harmonious life with her husband until one fateful day...Returning from school wit
"Dr. Mara, see you at the party by 8," Killian said after school."My husband didn't allow me to come... I'm sorry, Dr. Killian," she said while waiting for Adrian to arrive."Oh, okay. Take care," he said, sounding a little disappointed."Aww, Dr. Mara, we're friends, aren't we? Try talking it out with your husband... You can ask your handsome driver to come with you," Speedy suggested as he approached them."Oops... That's not my driver, though. He's my brother-in-law, a cousin to my husband," she clarified."He's so handsome," Susan remarked dreamily."Okay, doctors, I'll try to come... Just send the address to me, and I'll figure something out," she said before leaving them.*BACK IN THE CAR* "Adrian, do you think I should go to that party? Why does my husband have strange feelings about it?" she asked."He definitely doesn't want you to have anything to do with other men except me," Adrian replied."Oh... Killian is just a friend though. Speedy and Susan will be there too, along
As days passed, Lisa continued to deepen her bond with Ethan and Erica. They settled into a routine, with Lisa becoming an integral part of their lives. She often stayed over at Ethan’s place, helping with household chores and taking care of Erica while Ethan spent time at the hospital.But amidst the growing closeness, Lisa’s anxiety over her mission gnawed at her. She hadn’t updated Dilraba in a while, fearing her reaction to how emotionally involved she had become.One evening, after putting Erica to bed, Lisa stepped out onto the porch to make the call she had been dreading. The phone rang twice before Dilraba’s voice came through, cold and expectant.“What’s the update, Lisa?”Lisa took a deep breath. “I’ve made significant progress. Ethan and Erica trust me completely. Ethan even...” She hesitated, feeling a pang of guilt. “We’re getting very close.”Dilraba’s silence was heavy, laden with unspoken judgment. “Define that your very close, I hope you haven't messed anything up.’”
As dawn broke, Lisa woke to find Ethan still asleep beside her. She quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to wake him. She needed a moment to herself to process everything. She tiptoed down the hallway and checked on Erica, who was still fast asleep, clutching her stuffed animal.Lisa headed to the kitchen, her mind racing. She made a pot of coffee, the aroma filling the quiet house. As she poured herself a cup, her phone buzzed with a message from Dilraba."Any Update? What is the progress?"Lisa sighed, typing out a response. "Spent the night at Ethan's. Getting closer. He opened up more about his feelings and fears. What’s next?"She sipped her coffee, waiting for a reply. When her phone buzzed again, she quickly read the message."Good. Keep the pressure on. Make him dependent on you. Remember, the goal is to have him trust you completely. You must become indispensable to him and Erica, Mara must come back from the hospital to realize that her husband and daughter is no longer h
After Ethan agreed to take a break, Lisa helped him gather his things. Erica, still groggy from the long day, clung to her father's hand as they walked to the car. Lisa settled into the passenger seat while Ethan buckled Erica into her car seat. The drive home was quiet, the tension palpable. Lisa's mind raced with the steps she needed to take next.Once they arrived at Ethan's house, Lisa helped carry Erica inside. The house was warm and inviting, filled with family photos and the lingering scent of Mara's favorite candles. It felt like a sanctuary, but Lisa reminded herself why she was here.Ethan turned to her, gratitude evident in his eyes. "Thank you, Lisa. Really. I don't think I could have managed today without you."Lisa smiled softly. "You're welcome, Ethan. I'm glad I could help. Why don't you take a hot shower and relax a bit? I'll stay with Erica."Ethan hesitated, then nodded. "Okay. I'll be quick."Lisa watched as he headed down the hallway to the bathroom. She took a d
As Ethan left to be with Mara, Lisa's mind churned with conflicting emotions. She needed to stay focused. With Erica still asleep, she took a moment to text Dilraba for guidance."Progress update: Ethan is getting closer. Mara's stable but still critical. What's next?" she typed, sending the message before she could second-guess herself.Moments later, her phone buzzed with a reply. "Good work. Keep deepening the bond with Ethan. Make him rely on you more. Ensure he doubts his ability to cope without you and let him have lesser concerns for Mara, in that way, you will assume to control his heart.."Lisa sighed, slipping her phone back into her pocket. She knew what she had to do.When Ethan returned, his face was a mask of exhaustion. "She's stable for now," he said, his voice hollow. "I just don't know how much more I can take."Lisa reached out, placing a hand on his arm. "You're doing everything you can, Ethan. You need to take care of yourself too. Brooding and stressing yourself
Lisa's heart raced as she watched Roger leave the room. The secret message burned in her mind, a constant reminder of her mission. Get close to Ethan. Now.She took a deep breath, her eyes scanning the hospital room. Ethan was still gone, tending to his wife's crisis. But Lisa knew he would return, and when he did, she would be ready.As she waited, a young girl with big brown eyes and curly hair entered the room, her eyes fixed on Lisa. "Mommy said I could come see you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Lisa smiled, her heart melting. "Hey there, Erica. I'm so glad you're here."Erica climbed onto the bed, her eyes fixed on Lisa's face. "Mommy's sick, isn't she?"Lisa nodded, her voice gentle. "Yes, sweetie, she is. But your daddy's taking good care of her."Just then, the door opened, and Ethan walked in, his eyes red-rimmed from fatigue. "Hey, kiddo," he said, scooping up Erica in a big hug. "How's my little girl doing?"Erica wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes s
Ethan's expression turned guarded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I don't need anything in return, Lisa. Just focus on getting better."Lisa's smile never wavered. "I'll get better, Ethan. And when I do, I'll make sure to repay your kindness."The silence that followed was palpable, the only sound being the steady beep of the heart monitor. Ethan's gaze lingered on Lisa's face, searching for something - a glimmer of truth, a hint of sincerity. And in that moment, Lisa knew she had him right where she wanted him."I'll hold you to that," Ethan said finally, his voice low and husky.Lisa's heart skipped a beat. "I'm counting on it," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.The tension between them was grow thick, the air thick with unspoken promises and unmet desires. And as the nurse bustled in to check on Lisa's vitals, the spell was broken - but the seeds of determination had already been sown.As the nurse left the room, Lisa's thoughts turned to the real reason she was here. D
Upon waking, Lisa's body throbbed with discomfort, signaling the early hours of the audition day. Attempting to rise, she froze upon spotting a man by the window engrossed in a book. His posture exuded confidence, his long legs crossed casually beneath him, accentuated by a slim-fitting suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and trim waist.Bathed in the morning sunlight, his demeanor remained cool and collected, adding to his stoic allure. Sensing her gaze, he glanced up from his book, his icy stare penetrating her being with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine.This man indeed worth spying on. She now got the reason why Dilraba wanted him for herself. Who will see this handsome man and not want him to be her husband? She felt like a surgery knife was piercing her skin, scattering her veins sheet by sheet, when he looked at her. It seems like a staring contest between the man and Lisa, as he didn't loosen his gaze and Lisa was not ready t
As they all got to the direction she was point to, they were all shocked to see Erica pointing to the door leading to the storeroom. Ethan yelled at the Bar manager to open the door. Trembling with fear, the manager reluctantly produced the keys, her hands shaking as she approached the door. "There's a problem!" she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper as she struggled to maintain her composure.Despite the formidable presence of her boss and everyone else including Ethan Lewis, the Manager knew she had no choice but to comply. With a trembling hand, she unlocked the door, revealing a sight that sent shivers down her spine—an unconscious woman lying amidst the chaos of the storeroom floor."What is that? Why is there a woman there?" Ethan's voice echoed the confusion shared by those present."I... I don't know what to say. There wasn't anyone in there when I last checked," the Manager stuttered, her panic evident as she realized the gravity of the situation.With no time to w
Erica and Ethan now lives alone, days dragged on roughly and weeks become thinner. Ethan and Erica had been given time that they could visit Mara since she slipped into a coma. Meanwhile, after Ethan Located Mara, he brought her back from Egypt to Los Angeles to continue treatment. Ethan tried his best make sure to give her the best treatment ever from the best doctor. She is not responding to treatment, Just lay on the bed lifeless but still breathing though. "Dad pls come back early" Erica pouted as she escorted her father out for the day. "Don't worry Girl, I will come back as soon as I am done with the Conference" He said while adjusting his tie. Since the house is now empty, Erica and Ethan were the only occupants save for the old Butler and thier servant. Evelyn, Lucian, Maya and speedy visits once in a while but no matter how much they visited could make up for the presence of Mara in the house. Erica became his angel, his only possession, he after leaving work, he comes
