ETHAN’S POVI was consumed with rage.Within an interval of just a space of 30minutes,the people I trusted and loved the most turned out to be liars.To even think of Brad fucking my own sister made the veins on my neck pop out.I clenched my fist,while he stood in his parlor with his tie half knotted I guess he was preparing to go to work. He was speechless with fear and guilt evident on his face.I took three steps and wanted to punch him in the face and guts,but Ava immediately ran and stood in our middle with her hands,spread widely apart in attempt to blocking me.“Stop!!” she yelled with her eyes squinted and face that was filled with fear but not guilt.She didn’t look guilty at all,if I would have thought better I would say she was proudly protecting him,knowing she was my weakness,she used it to her advantage.She dropped her hands but remained standing in the middle of Brad and I,when she saw that I had retracted and dropped my hands,but I was still breathing heavily and was no
ETHAN’S POV Kate had a guilty look on her face as she looked down avoiding eye contact with me and scratched the back of her head.I took her reaction as an approval that she knew.What the fuck is wrong with everyone around me!It’s like I was the only one who didn’t know about Brad and Ava,it really pissed me off.Kate knew about Ava dating Brad,but I that was her brother didn’t and I was her brother?.My hands on her cup tightened,till the sound of the broken glass on my hands fell to the table one by one with blood dripping from my palms.Yes, that was how upset I was.Kate flinched and gulped in fear with her eyes widened.I pushed the table and left her house,with her calling out to me but I didn’t heed to her calls.I got into my car and was cleaning my palms with my handkerchief I found in the car,while Kate came knocking on the window of my car.I drove off and left her standing there.I got to the hospital and as usual the place was busy with people trooping in and out of it.I p
EMILY’S POVI woke up in the morning and didn’t see Ethan on his side of the bed.I felt sad because I was already getting used to waking up in his arms.I stretched and yawned as I sat up on bed.I got down from the bed and headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower before going to prepare something to eat,but frowned when I saw that the shower wasn’t used at all.Then where did Ethan go as early as 6:30 in the morning,I thought to myself and immediately knew something was wrong.I rushed out worriedly without brushing my teeth and went to pick my phone from the bedside table.Yesterday was a long day ,I didn't even know when I dozed off.Did I unknowingly offend Ethan due to my sleepy state last night? I asked myself.I took my phone with the aim of calling Ethan,but saw a text from an unknown number. When I read the content I immediately knew who sent it.It was the guy who tipped me and collected my number while I was still working at the coffee shop.What does the du
EMILY’S POV Ethan's hands went into the water as he cupped my ass with his hands and kissed me with longing.The lake water reached us a little bit above our waist,his hands traveled from cupping my ass to breasts.I tilted my head to the back at the pleasure he was making me feel.“You like it huh?You love the way I make you feel,the way I fuck you hard right”he asked in a seductive tone.“Yes babe I love it”I moaned,because he kept on teasing my nipples with his fingers as he asked me.He raised me up a bit and I got the message of what he wanted since we were in the lake there was no way we could lay down on water.I wrapped my legs around his waist,with my hands around his neck,as he positioned at my entrance and without warning he thrusted into me.I couldn’t help but let out a gasp of pleasure,it felt like an electric shock all over my body and he began to thrust deep and hard into me.The water was no longer as cold as It was when I got in at first,it felt warm now to me as our
EMILY’S POV I drove to the side of Ethan’s car with both hands on the steering wheel.I wined down my glass and he did the same,as we looked at each other from our various cars.He was seated in his car in a very relaxed way,like he didn’t just challenge me to a race and like he was sure he would win.They was no way I was gonna let him win this race,I didn’t want us to have sex tonight,I wanted us to search the whole internet this night,to check if we could get anyone willing to donate his or her heart.I had to win this race.I turned on the music in the car and the song “power by little mix”started booming through the speakers of the car loudly,I didn’t know Ethan listened to such songs,the song was mostly listened to by women.We both warmed the car and Ethan shouted so I could hear him”Turn on the timer in the car for 5 seconds after that we take off”.I turned on the timer as it began to count down to one,I flexed my hands that were still holding the steering tightly as I looked
EMILY’S POV We opened the door and got in,with Ethan and Brad leading the way,there was a smile on Granny’s face but it disappeared when she saw Brad on the wheel chair,Mrs Lucia too gasped at the sight.“What happened to him?”Granny questioned us immediately we got in with a stern and angry look.We all didn’t want to be the focus of Granny’s anger so we all pointed at the culprit Ethan,who was behind Brad being on a wheelchair at the same time.She glared at Ethan,who looked away out of guilt,Ava and Brad were the ones who calmed Granny , telling her that it was just a misunderstanding that had been settled.Her expression softened when they explained it to and so did Mrs Lucia’s.Someone knocked on the door and we wondered who it was. We asked the person to come in.Behold it was the skank that Nathan used to bring me and Ethan together.Even at that it didn’t change the fact that she still has feelings for him,because when she came in the first person she looked at was Ethan.This
ETHAN’S POV Everything was settled and we were in Granny’s room,when Natasha came in.She dressed decently since the first time I had known her,She always loved skimpy outfits that showed off her thighs. She wasn’t even curvy,I scoffed at the thought.She started her pretentious act as always,this time she was pretending to care for Granny’s health,when she knew that we already knew she never liked Granny in the first place.Ava always came to me asking for advice on what to do with Natasha,because she said Natasha was always calling Granny bad names,claiming that Granny was too strict on Ava and I.To be honest I didn’t know what Ava saw in her that she chooses to be friends with Natasha and they even became best friends.I advised her to cut ties with Natasha,but she refused,until one day when Natasha came to my office putting on a coat.I found it odd but kept quiet and asked what she wanted. In a swift motion she pulled off her coat and was left in a lingerie.At that time,I wante
ETHAN’S POV I turned to watch Emily,who remained rotted to the floor where she was standing,looking down without blinking.Before we knew it,she crashed to the ground like her legs couldn’t hold her any longer and started crying uncontrollably.We all went to console her,Mrs Lucia was the first to take long strides and squatted at her front “ I’m sorry honey if the way I shouted at you made you sad “ Mrs Lucia said, rubbing Emily’s back gently.I felt my heart clench in pain as I saw her crying and wailing seriously.Kate was also crying beside Emily, while Ava tried to calm them both down.Nathan and Brad just stood watching with sadness.I took long strides and raised Emily on her feet and took her into my arms. She cried the more hugging me tightly. When I felt it was enough,I pulled away from the hug and looked into her eyes trying to motivate her.“ Babe look at me “I said in a commanding tone which surprised her and everyone,she looked up at me with tears still streaming down her
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
