ETHAN’S POV I drove back home after dropping Emily off at her workplace,so I could change into my work clothes before Harris came to pick me up.I really wish Emily could stop working at the coffee club,she had gone through a lot already,she wasn’t even from a poor family and working there she is prone to get a lot of guys hit on her.I clenched my fist in anger just at the thought of it,I knew I would surely strangle any guy that tried to hit on her.I then thought if I should install CCTV cameras in secret at her workplace just to keep an eye on her but decided against it because I knew Emily wouldn’t like it if she found out.I needed to start trusting her.Pushing all my thoughts away I changed into a suit and styled my hair as usual.I heard the notification sound that Harris was already waiting outside,so I took my suitcase and went downstairs in a good mood.Harris greeted me with his usual smile looking at me through the front view mirror as I entered ”Good morning sir”.“Morni
EMILY’S POV“I said what the fuck is going on here”Ethan said staring daggers at Nathan.Kate and I became tongue tied not knowing where to begin.Nathan then spoke up first.“I came here to apologize to Em,but her beautiful friend here kicked me on the balls after collecting the flower. The most annoying thing is that I think they lured me here just to do this,”he said pointing at his pants where a bulge was visible.“Were you stalking her?How did you get to know where she worked?”Ethan asked him, still fuming in anger.“Shut the fuck up okay!”Nathan snapped at Ethan.We all became surprised at Nathan’s outburst.“You are always too blind to know love from friendship,you think I have feelings for Em?”he said and chuckled bitterly. “You know that’s your problem,not trusting people,I have known you since when we were kids Ethan but you still don’t trust me,I know you more than anyone else to know when you love someone and when you don’t ....”“Just go straight to the fucking point okay!?
EMILY’S POVKate looked at me with surprise as I told her that I knew she liked Nathan.“Yeah I know he's cute but... but...that doesn’t mean I like him,you heard him just admit that he's a playboy.i don’t think i...”she stuttered avoiding eye contact with me.“shhhh!!”I said, placing my fingers on her mouth to stop her from spilling further lies.”Look at me”I told her as I cupped her face with my hands and raised her head to look at me.“We have been friends for a long time now and I know you too well to know how you act when you are around someone you like.Ethan and I hold no grudge against against him anymore,give yourself to find love,baby girl and if you find it with him,then you have our full support.who knows you may be the one to change him”.“Really? You think so?”She asked with hope.“Yeah, just start off as friends and see where it leads,”I said, massaging her cheeks with my thumb.“Alright enough of the sulking and emotional shit,pack up your best dress and come with me.Yo
EMILY’S POV Ethan came out of the room just when Granny was proceeding to the dining table and he greeted them,but not with a cheerful face.He hurriedly went and took away the chair at the head of the table so Granny could sit their in her wheel chair.We all proceeded to the dining table and sat down after he was done helping Granny settle in.Brad sat facing Ava,while I sat facing Ethan,Nathan sat facing Kate and Granny sat at the head of the table close to Ethan and I.Everyone served themselves food and started eating in silence,from the corner of my eyes I could see Brad and Ava stealing glances at each other when they thought nobody was watching them.What’s going on with those two,I thought to myself with furrowed brows and averted my gaze to Kate,who was concentrating on eating her food and smiling to herself,while Nathan was looking at her like a love sick puppy.Ethan on the other hand was looking at Ava and his Granny expectantly,like he was expecting them to do or say some
ETHAN’S POV Everything played out well, our differences and disputes have been settled and we are now back to being one big family.I could see the look of happiness on Emily's face as she looked at everyone.I was elated because I knew she deserved this and more.I silently watched everyone satisfied with the after effect of my bringing them together.Brad and Nathan were more hilarious today than I have ever known them. I began wondering if Emily put alcohol in the food they ate.It turned out Granny gave Emily attitude when she came because she was hungry and I became relieved.For a second I thought Granny had changed her mind at the last minute and came to make trouble with Emily.When she complimented Emily’s meals,I couldn’t have been happier at the scenario.I also had been watching Brad and Ava closely and found their behavior towards each other new.I hoped it wasn’t what I was thinking because I would skin Brad alive if it is.After eating,we proceeded to my balcony with Granny
EMILY’S POV “Yes!!Nanny Anna could also be our key,she has looked after me since I was a child.Since we are gonna get in and maids would be busy walking about the in the house,I need to talk to her so she Can try to keep them doing something at one place.That way we would be able to fix the camera’s without fear of coming across any of them” I said feeling proud of myself for having remembered this.They all agreed with the suggestion I brought.I started feeling guilty not having contacted her since I left the house,she did so much for me and also encouraged me to push on with my life only for me to forget about her after she helped me run away from the house.“So can you call her now?”Ethan asked me.I became mute for a while because I misplaced her number when I trashed my other phone that had been tracked by Isabella, my stepmom.“Uhm...Actually i...”I began to stutter not knowing how to tell them I lost my Nanny’s number.Ethan gave me a knowing look while the rest just stared at m
ETHAN’S POV Emily surprised me when she went on her knees and pulled my pants down.I knew She wanted to suck my dick,but I was surprised because i didn’t know she could have the boldness to do it.I was the one who who even popped her cherry,I thought to myself proudly.I thought she wouldn’t be good at it but when her tongue made contact with my dick,the feeling was mind blowing,I grabbed her hair in order not to lose balance,She explored everywhere on my dick with her tongue and mouth couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips.She then took my dick into her mouth fully and stroked in and out slowly.Damn!! She knew exactly how I loved it.Wanting more i held her head firm as I started stroking into her mouth faster than she was.Reaching my my orgasm,i released into her mouth as she swallowed it and licked my cum off my dick as she stood up and kissed me gently sucking my lower lips,I could taste my cum as we kissed,there no better pleasurable feeling than a good orgasm.For this w
EMILY’S POV We zoomed out in Ethan’s Luxury car to meet Brad at the place they talked about.I prayed in my mind that nothing would go wrong with what we planned.Our car pulled into a big abandoned warehouse and we drove in.We saw some men wearing uniforms standing in front of the van Ethan bought and Brad is in the Van testing if it really works well.We alighted from the car and walked towards them.Only then did I see that Kate was also there helping Brad in checking something at the bonnet of the van.As we walked towards them, the most mature of the men, who I think are people to spray the van,came and shook hands with Ethan.Ethan walked away with them and stood at a corner discussing with them,while I walked up to meet Kate and Brad.“How did you guys find this place?”I asked Brad when I got there and met Brad,while Kate was looking at something in the bonnet and didn’t notice I had walked up to them yet.“Mr Belford owns it actually”he answered and I nodded my head in surprise
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
