EMILY’S POVGranny and Ava looked disappointed in me.I can understand that they may have thought highly of me and I let them down by lying to them.Granny was the first one to say”Emily, how Were you are so irresponsible to abandon your responsibilities and your family like that.I used to think you were a very sweet and obedient girl,was that all an act? We saw the video on social media of how you were shouting at your Mom like she’s a child,the fact she’s not your biological mother didn’t mean you should talk to her that way”Granny Said.Every word she spoke tore my heart into a thousand shreds of pieces.They wouldn’t understand because they weren’t in my shoes,everyone was judging me based on the act my stepmother and sister put up,tears started falling from my eyes again.“Emily you should have told us the truth no matter what,but instead you lied that you were an orphan.why did you have to do all that,Now we can’t trust you working for Ethan anymore”Ava said giving me a sorry look
EMILY’S POVI paid the cab driver and came down from the cab.Kate was waiting for me at the front of her house.When she saw me alight from the cab she ran and gave me a big hug.I rolled my eyes at her smiling,she hadn’t changed her over dramatic nature one bit.She helped me take my luggage inside and locked her door after I went into her apartment.She had a one room apartment.I wasn’t expecting much from her,she was an orphan and was on scholarship while we were at the university.I remembered always giving her half of my allowance to aid her with some bills,she worked very hard and did many part time Jobs.Even though her life wasn’t easy for her,I envied her because she lived her life the way she wanted.Her room was not too big or a luxurious room but it was cozy and it actually felt like home. It was a one room apartment but it was more than enough to give me that homely feeling I want.I walked to the sofa and sat down tiredly,this was one hell of a day.My phone started ringing b
Emily’s POV The aroma of bacon woke me up the next morning.I opened my eyes and turned to where the scent was coming from and saw Kate making breakfast.I sat up and stretched my body.“Good morning baby girl”I said, yawning and walking over to help her out in the kitchen.“Did you sleep well?”She asked while frying the bacon.I nodded, smiling”Better than I have for a long while”I replied to her and started washing the dirty dishes from last night.She then briefed me on things I would do as a waitress if I was likely to start work today and more so Incase her boss asked me some questions I won’t be clueless and unable to answer.She finished cooking and we ate happily.When we were done eating she then stood up and placed her hands Akimbo smiling at me.I gave her a confused look not understanding what she was up to.She then said”It’s time for your transformation”.“How do you intend to transform me?”I asked, chuckling.If not for her circumstances I would have advised her to join the e
ETHAN’S POV Emily left just yesterday evening and It’s like she left last week.Argh,I groaned and closed my laptop not being able to concentrate on the work I am doing.When she left I made sure I checked g****e maps for the location and the time it would take her to get to the location.I called her after I was sure and due to estimation that she should have arrived at Kate’s house.She picked the call after the second ring.I asked her if she would be comfortable there and offered to get her furnished apartment if she wasn’t comfortable there but she declined.She said I had done enough for her already,but I haven’t even done anything for her.I just paid her salary that my family was supposed to pay her for working for us. It was Granny’s order that I should transfer to Emily in front of her.When she said I had done enough I was amazed because I actually haven’t done anything for her but that doesn’t mean I don’t have plans to.I have big plans for Emily,I have never felt the urge to p
EMILY’S POVAfter Ethan left,everyone at the shop started looking at me with eyes of envy.I walked back to the dressing room and bumped into Kate on my way there.She gave me a teasing smile”I saw you playing with your baby,he's so cute”She squealed and winked at me.I acted like her words didn’t get to me and rolled my eyes at her”There’s no big deal,it’s just Ethan I wonder why you all treat him like a God”I said trying to keep an uninterested face.She gave me a knowing look and just smirked.I ignored her and wanted to proceed to the dressing room when a colleague of mine came to me”Emily there is a customer at table 15 that has requested to be served by only you”She said sounding displeased.I frowned could it be Ethan but I told him to go work! I sigh.Kate looked at me and said teasingly”Looks like your presence here would gain us a lot of consistent customers,go on and attend to the person I am guessing it’s your Prince Charming”.I rolled my eyes at her,she’s never gonna stop tea
Ethan’s POVWhen I saw her coming out of Kate’s apartment,she looked stunning and elegant,words could not express how beautiful I think she is.Kate says hi to me,I see that she’s also beautiful but not as beautiful as my Emily.I compliment her before I start my car and her mood becomes ecstatic after that.I take her first to the orphanage which she looked surprised that I also visited here often.I already knew that she used to donate a lot of money to the orphanage, so it didn’t come as a surprise to see that she was familiar with the children and they too were familiar with her.We shared gifts with the children which when we went to buy them before coming here,she couldn’t stop asking who we were getting so many gifts for.I could see that she was really happy we came here,that made me imagine how kind hearted and humble she is,if it were to be other millionaires children,they would rather squander their money on luxurious latest designer stuff than visit and donate to an orphanage
ETHAN’S POV Emily stood naked in my room waiting for me,when I came and saw her standing.She smiled and bit her lips.Fuck!! my subconscious shot back at me.I began to take slow strides towards her,she looked fucking beautiful without clothes on.Fuck what I said about giving us sometime into the relationship before I think about having sex with her,right now all I wanted was to bury my dick inside her and fuck her till she screams my name with her legs shaking. She also started moving towards me in slow seductive strides,I could see that the attraction we felt for each other was strong,I was mesmerized by this woman.I brought her into my embrace as my lips captured her not wanting to fight this longing for her anymore.Each time I kissed her it was like it was the first time I was kissing her,it sent shivers and ignited sparks in my whole body.I carried her bridal style and laid her on my bed,in a swift motion she helped pull off my clothes and my dick bounced out immediately my pan
EMILY’S POVLast Night with Ethan was wonderful,I know I acted like slut but being with Ethan brought out sides in me that I never thought I had.We went two more rounds later at night,the sex was beyond wonderful,Ethan ignited sparks in me that I didn’t know exist.At first when I saw how big his dick was, i imagined how it would fit into it,when he tried to thrust into me it was painful,but when I drew him in for a kiss,all the pain I was feeling disappeared and was replaced by pleasure and ecstasy.I was very happy and couldn’t still believe he was mine,I blushed at the thought of it.Waking up in his arms and walking to the bathroom naked felt normal to me and I loved it when he looked at my naked body,it was like he worshiped me.I never want this to end but sadly I remembered I had to work and that I wasn’t living with him anymore.He mentioned finding proof to show Granny in order to prove my innocence.I didn’t really think it would be possible but I masked the sadness and pret
EMILY’S POV When dad said he wanted to start with the crime which Charlotte committed I was curious to know too because really didn’t really get any clue as to who she killed but we knew she killed someone.Hearing dad say this made my ears start itching to hear whatever he knew.“ Charlotte here killed.... “ Dad said and was ever ready to continue speaking but Charlotte shouted for him to stop and immediately went on her knees.“ Dad please don’t do this I don’t wanna go to jail I beg you,I’m your daughter don’t rat me out to them please “ Charlotte pleaded while holding my Dad’s legs,Amelia also came to kneel and beg but my dad shrugged her off.“ Don’t do this Marcelo please... “ Isabella pleaded with dad and wanted to continue but my dad cut her short.“ Charlotte here killed Sophia Cross.Ethan Belford’s Late fiancés,she purposely tampered with Sophia’s brake on the eve of her wedding and that led to her death “ Dad said and looked at her with disgust.“ What?! “ Ava,Granny,Brad,E
EMILY’S POV“ Objection my lord “ A mature voice said loudly but also confidently.All our heads snapped back to see who it was.The first person I saw was uncle Lucas my dad’s personal assistant that we haven’t set our eyes on since the day my dad passed away.He walked in and my brows furrowed wondering what was going on.why would he show up on this day after all this time.“ Why interrupt me “ the judge asked, obviously displeased with what was happening.Ethans hold on me became more tight. I had to caress his hands that were on mine a little to show that he should calm down.Granny on the other hand was restless and Ava tried to calm her down.Whispers of people that were in the courtroom.I could see Charlotte and Amelia whispering to each other and they smirked when they me looking their way.Were they behind this??Were they tryna sabotage this??All these questions were running through my mind when uncle Lucas spoke up with a stern look on his face “ I wasn’t the one who said it,h
EMILY’S POV While we were at the funeral I could have sworn that I felt someone was watching us, I became scared judging by what has been going on, I mean who wouldn’t be scared if the person was in my situation? Since the day we found my mom’s stuff in Late Mrs. Lucia’s belongings my thoughts became jumbled.I couldn’t even afford to smile sincerely, even though I did,it wasn’t really from my heart.“ If this feeling continues I think I’ll have to talk to Ethan about it so he’ll take me to a therapist, “ I thought to myself as I cautiously looked around the cemetery.I cried my ears out during the funeral because I was the cause of her death and deep down I couldn’t suppress the thought that lingered in my heart telling me that she was my mom. Would I be able to live and take it easy on myself eventually when we found out that she was my mom or relative.I’ll have to deal with missing the opportunity to have been with my mom or a close relationship and witness what it feels like to
ETHAN’S POV When Granny said we may wanna see what in the paper,i became curious as to what it was because Emily’s mood immediately changed and she stood up to go sit beside Granny.While Brad and Nathan curiously came to sit beside me so we could check it out together.I opened the file and saw a document in it.When I went through it,I became confused and looked at Nathan and Brad to see if I was the only one confused,but I saw the same confused look on their faces.Seeing our confused faces Granny explained “ You all know Late Mrs Lucia was diagnosed of Alzheimer disease and her origin still remains unknown to us yeah? “ She paused and looked at us in which we nodded in agreement.“ well that document there signifies that she may have had gotten the disease from that accident,the person who saved her from that car accident and took her for that surgery may be able to help us know who she is,because we need answers “Granny said and I saw Emily shift i comfortably.I wondered why we n
ETHAN’S POV We headed to our car after Mrs. Lucia’s casket was placed into the van. After much debate, Brad and I decided that we all go to the cemetery in Nathan’s car because we didn’t want him to feel lonely or jealous.We walked to his Rolls Royces and I got into the passenger sit while Brad entered the back seat. I noticed that Nathan's fists were clenched tightly on the steering wheel and his knuckles were already turning white due to the way he held it so tightly.“ Wow! Wow!Wow! Buddy, calm down before you drive us to our deaths. Are you sure you are in the right frame of mind to drive us? “ I asked him as I caressed his hands that were clenched on the steering wheel trying to calm him down.“ I can drive if you're not in the mood to “ Brad added as we looked at him concerned.Nathan gave out a long and deep exhale before shaking his head slightly and turning to look at us.“ I’m sorry I am getting you guys worried, it’s just what my dad told me is still difficult for me to p
Chapter 79ETHAN’S POV When we signed for Mrs. Lucia’s dead body to be taken with us for her funeral, Nathan left us to go meet his dad, who came to work today and summoned him.I found it weird and I won’t lie that I was curious as to why his Dad called him, which he could easily get them to get home before discussing whatever matter it is that he wants to discuss with Nathan.I didn’t wanna dwell much on the issue and had to push my curiosity aside and deal with the issues I have on ground.We walked out of the Hospital and first of all went to check the casket that our Mr. Anonymous gifted us or should I say gifted Mrs. Lucia.It was fucking expensive, from the designs and carving on the glass of the casket, one could tell that the buyer was indeed rich because the casket was made of glass all through.When I say glass I mean an expensive one. I don’t know what Anonymous is trying to play by hiding himself.But one thing is for sure,If he or she intended to terminate us,the person
EMILY’S POV When Ava and I turned to look at the maid whom Granny instructed to tell us whatever it is that they were so engrossed in discussing.The maid gulped nervously I could easily tell she was scared and uncomfortable about having this discussion again. So I walked up to her and patted her on her shoulders trying to calm her down.“ It’s alright, you don’t have to be nervous, “ I said and gave her a reassuring smile. Granny and Ava also nodded their heads urging the maid to speak.She nodded her head and said “ Mrs. Lucia’s Alzheimer's disease was more serious than you thought it was. She always told me on several occasions that she had a daughter and a husband, then I’ll ask her if she can remember where they stay and she’ll nod in agreement “The maid paused as if trying to gather more courage to speak further and then she continued “ There was a time when I asked her to take me to her house,because I asked for the name of her daughter and husband but she couldn’t remember.
EMILY ‘S POVI watched as Granny and Ava walked over to where I was standing and held my hands with concerned looks on their faces,checking if anything happened to my hands,due to the way I flung the necklace.I stare at nothing in particular,carried away by my thoughts,could Mrs Lucia be my mom or did she know my mom.But if she possessed all this that means it belongs to her and besides the maid said they belong to her personally,also that she cherished them so much.Could that be the reason why Mrs Lucia most at times,looked at me with a look of recognition? Was this the reason why I always felt some kind of way whenever I was with her?.All these questions were ringing in my head,but I was abruptly brought back to reality by Ava shaking me hard and I flinched.“ Are you okay? “ Ava asked worriedly,as they gently led me to sit on the couch,which was directly facing the table.I just pointed towards the necklace that was on the floor and they looked at it frowning.But Ava went and p
EMILY’S POV One of the maids put up her hand,which signified that she wanted to ask a question.Granny permitted her to speak by nodding her head.The maid cleared her throat and bowed slightly showing respect,before she asked “ Will the funeral be held today? “.“ Yes it will,so please dress up quickly,we don’t have enough time “ Ava replied the maid kindly.With that all the maids and security men went to their various rooms to get dressed up.“ Do you have a black outfit for the funeral?? If you don’t I can give you one from my closet “ Ava said as she looked at me.One of the reasons why I love Ava and felt our bond was growing stronger is because she is very thoughtful and caring.To be honest I didn’t have any black outfit that was suitable to wear for a funeral and I wonder why I forgot to tell Ethan before we left them.He would have easily ordered one online for me.“ No I don’t actually “ I said,as I blushed with embarrassment.Granny and Ava gave me a knowing look.“ You don’t
