EMILY’S POV I looked at him and marveled at the kind of love he had for me,to be doing all these things for me.This tv looked very expensive,not to talk of the amount he spent on having it installed like this.I drew him in for a tight hug as we sat on the bed with the tv very close to us.We kissed,it was soft and slow with a lot of emotions poured into it,but didn’t deepen it and he withdrew from me.“ I love you babe,I’ll do anything for you “he said, caressing my cheeks with his thumb and smiling.“ I love you much more my knight in shining armor “ I replied to him and giggled.“ You suck at calling me sweet names “ he said and chuckled.He turned on the tv and the house where I was born popped on the screen.We saw that Isabella and her daughters had already gotten home.They were seated in the parlor and Isabella who stood up facing her two daughters that were seated in front of her,was scolding Charlotte seriously.“ Must you always show everyone how desperate and horny you alway
EMILY’S POV I don’t know if it’s the food that’s making me nauseous,but it tasted good,I frowned as I thought to myself.Or was it because I saw Uncle Jacob fucking Isabella?I stood at the front of our bathroom mirror,after I finished throwing up,I rinsed my mouth and face.I looked into the mirror and found out my cheeks were becoming chubby.“ I need to watch my weight from now on, “ I muttered.I walked out of the bathroom and saw Ethan sitting on the bed waiting for me with a worried look on his face,he stood up and walked to me immediately I walked out of the bathroom.“ Babe are you fine? Should I call Nathan to come check you up? You don’t look so good “ he asked with furrowed brows as he touched my forehead and neck to check if I was running temperature.“ No,no,no I am fine baby! I guess it’s because I’m still in shock about what I saw “ I said, trying to sound assuring.He didn’t look convinced but let it slide as he guided me to the bed once more and started feeding me.Whe
ETHAN’S POV I wondered what Brad saw,that he said I may wanna see it,I couldn’t leave Emily’s side,not now that she is ill.“ Emily is ill Brad,Nathan is checking her up,is it really important that I must come the office ““ Em is sick? What's wrong with her? Is she getting better? will she be fine soon... ““ Nathan said she wanted to have had another panic attack,but she fought it that’s why it’s taking a toll on her ““ So sorry man,but you really gotta see this,it concerns Emily too.You can ask Ava and Granny to go stay with her ““ Okay I’ll be there soon “I said and ended the call.Here I was thinking Emily is pregnant,deep down inside me,I was even hoping she was pregnant.I wouldn’t mind at all if she had been pregnant.I already know she’s gonna be the mother of my unborn children,I just wanted to take things slow.I was also scared of her dying on me like Sophia did,I didn’t wanna take chances at all.I would propose to her when we have finished carrying out our plan and she ha
ETHAN’S POV When Brad handed the file to me,I hesitated a bit but when I opened it,I saw a file containing proof about Jacob and his underground dealing.With this alone we could bring him down.This wasn’t even a photocopied file,it was an original file that had his signature on them.I read through the file and I was stunned,this is unbelievable.“ No way! “ I exclaimed in surprise as I shook my head.This was too good to be true.“ Yes way Ethan! “ Brad replied me also ecstatically as he grinned.“ So I have been thinking about this anonymous sender,for the person to be able to lay hands on such a file,he or she must be very powerful and influential in the society,but who could it be? “ Brad commented In deep thoughts.“ And why is the person helping Emily? For all I know Emily has no one except us now.This person may be watching us and our every move to know that we needed this kind of info “ I explained thoughtful,as I rested my chin on my hand that were now on the table.“ I agre
ETHAN’S POV “ That is a piece of cake for me “Suarez said and stretched his hand to collect the flash drive.I handed the flash drive to him and he inserted it into his monitor and started clicking the buttons on his keyboard fast.We all got up and stood behind him seeing what he was doing.He first of all copied the video into his desk from the flash drive and handed the flash drive back to me which I placed in my pocket,making a mental note to keep it in my safe at my office.He then clicked on a software in his monitor screen and scanned the eyes of the person.When it showed successfully scanned.He clicked on another software at this juncture. I didn't no what he was he was doing,but a lot names and numbers started popping on the monitor and he clenched his fists above his head happily.“ Yes!! “ he exclaimed elated and added “ I have successfully hacked into New York’s database “.We all breathed a sigh of relief as he went on to check if the eyes matched anyone’s.He was on it f
EMILY’S POV I felt better when I woke up,but was surprised to see Ava sitting on the dressing table operating her phone.Was she sent by Ethan to look after me?Where is he anyway?I smiled at his thoughtfulness,that man could literally do anything for me.Ava lifted her head from her phone she was operating and saw that I was awake and jumped down from the table scurrying to the bed.“ Em,how are you feeling Now? Are you still weak? “ she asked as she used her hands to feel my body temperature.It warmed my heart to see how much they loved me unconditionally and would always be here for me.I wonder how life would have been,if i didn’t get a job at the Belford’s mansion and met them all,I’m Life would have been very hard for me.I sat up on the bed to show her how energized I felt and stretched my arms while yawning.“ I’m fine now A,just hungry “ I replied lazily as I shoved the duvet off my body and went into the bathroom to pee and shower.“ I’ll go make lasagna for you,if you need
EMILY’S POV If there was anything I hated most in the world, it's suspense.Ava spoke and told them to go with good news first.But deep down I had a feeling that the bad news would supersede the good news.“ First I would like to show Ava and Brad something “ he said as he started walking to our room and motioned for us to follow him.I already knew what he wanted to show them,but I wasn’t in the mood to watch that atrocious act again.Ava and Brad curiously walked into our room holding hands.When they entered,Ethan walked straight to the bedside table and picked up the remote to our secret tv.He clicked on it and I saw the look of surprise on Ava and Brad’s face as the tv opened from the ceiling and started sliding down.“ Wow!! “ Ava and Ethan exclaimed in unison as they watched the whole scenario unfold before their eyes.They expression on their faces was that of awe and admiration.“ You mean this was here all this while when I came in today? '' Ava asked me with a slack jaw.“ Y
EMILY’S POVI watched as Amelia and Charlotte stood in front of their mom,almost bursting with rage. She gave her daughters a questioning look,but they didn’t answer her.Charlotte just raised her phone while the video was playing and faced it to her mom.Isabella’s eyes widened when she saw the content of the video and she slammed the door on her daughters faces,who continued banging on her door and yelling in anger “ Mom so you are fucking uncle Jacob? How long has this been going on? “As we watched them through the tv,we all erupted into laughter.Ethan collected the popcorn from Ava and started eating while laughing.Ava went to sit beside Brad,who drew her close as they both ate from one popcorn bowl,while Ethan and I shared one bowl too.When Isabella slammed the door,she leaned on it and gasped in shock,the look of horror on her face gave me unexplainable joy.She immediately rushed to her phone and we wondered who she wanted to call,but when the person answered and she spoke we
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
