Everyone looked at Ethan in shock. Since when did he have the balls to speak to his grandfather like that?“Ethan! What has come over you? You are never like this before. What happened to you all of a sudden? Why have you changed?” Dylan, Ethan's cousin, said, feeling perplexed. “Brother, did that chick ask you to do this? The elders are talking about your marriage to Barbara. Why can't you show some respect to the--” Aaron, Ethan's annoying step-brother was talking when all of a sudden, a plate was thrown at him?All eyes went wide as they looked at Ethan in shock. Did he just injure his brother for the sake of a girl?“ETHAN RICHARDSON! HOW DARE YOU HURT MY SON!!!” Rachael shouted angrily at her stepson.“Advice your son never to address me as his brother ever again. I have only two siblings and that's Jeffrey and Jessica. Let today be his last time if addressing me that!” Ethan said calmly but coldly as he sat in his seat nonchalantly. “You-- you!!!” Old Master Richardson's body w
Everyone stared at Ethan and his companions as they ate the strawberry jam with relish. Their mouths were all agape at the turn of events. No one imagined Ethan would be bold enough to go against his grandfather in such a way.The old man couldn't hold back any longer. He picked up a glass which was containing red wine and threw it on the floor in fury.Everyone paused what they were doing and turned to his side. His anger was vivid on his face.“HOW DARE YOU COME TO MY HOUSE AND DISPLAY SUCH INSOLENCE?!” The old asked Claire furiously as he started to cough out of anger.His family quickly went to his side and patted his back to soothe him. As strong as he portrayed himself to be, he was, in fact, getting old and his health was plunging.“Ethan, how dare you anger your grandfather? Don't you know about his health issues?” Mathew said angrily and pointed his finger at Ethan furiously. “Don't give me that crap! I don't give a damn about his so-called health. In fact, I would be very m
To say, Ethan and his friends were shocked would be an understatement. If their wide eyes are not enough to show their shock, then nothing could. “You got to be kidding me!!!” Chase said in astonishment when he realized what was happening. “This is bad!” George said with his eyes wide open. He tries to stop Scarlett but Ethan pulled him back and shook his head.Jessica covered her mouth in contentment as realization dawned on her. “You - you are--” She murmured, but Scarlett placed a finger on her lips to keep her quiet. She then moved towards her and smiled. “You did well, Jess. You hang in there for a very long time. However, you shouldn't have cried. These assholes don't deserve your tears.” Scarlett said and even patted her head lovingly as an older sister would do.Jessica nodded and stifled her sobs. She really wanted to hug her. Her reaction caught everyone's attention, making them confused. 'Has she not been there with them all along? Why were they behaving as if they've see
After stepping out of the house, Scarlett was still fuming. She wanted to destroy more things inside the house, but Ethan's hold on her was very strong.She struggled to get free from his tight grip but to no avail. “It's enough! We are out now, so you can let off my hand.” She said and glared at Ethan. She was angry that she wanted nothing but to eat him alive. “Are you not satisfied with what you've done? I think your slaps to them are more than enough to quench your anger. ” Ethan stopped walking, let go of her hand, and said to her.Scarlett pulled her hair backward in annoyance. “Of course, I'm not satisfied. I didn't get to destroy many things inside that's fucking house. Moreover, I didn't get to kill the old man. So, how can you pull me out by force? Huh? ” She placed her hands on her waist and demanded angrily. Ethan massaged his temple in frustration. He wasn't in his right mind to listen to her tantrums now. He felt a headache coming on. “Let's just go home. I'm tired an
Ethan gave her a puzzled look. 'What does she mean by I need Claire?' He asked himself inwardly. “What do you mean, Jess?” Scarlett asked.Jessica smiled lightly and said, “After everything that you and my brother did inside, have you thought about who is likely going to suffer the payment for your actions?” She asked Scarlett, who shook her head in No. “It's their mother, Red. Occasionally I think you should think ahead and control yourself. You can't always think about yourself and what you want to do.You may have tried to help Ethan in there, but your actions are the problem here. If Claire were in control, she would have verbally defeated them without any unnecessary violence.However, with your actions, Ethan had to punch his father for your sake. He might hate his father, but he is, after all, his father.And trust me, I won't be surprised if they all take their anger on Ethan's mother. So, you see, this is why Ethan is feeling troubled. However, here you are, imposing yoursel
Jeffery looked at Jessica intently as they sat in their car as if he was waiting for her to speak. However, the latter kept on ignoring him as if she also didn't see him staring at her or had nothing to say to him.After a few more minutes, she couldn't hold back any longer and said, “Jeffery, has someone ever told you that staring can melt a person sometimes? So could you please stop staring at me?” She said, feeling a little irritated. “Oh naaa, I haven't heard anything of that sort. I think that's your own statement.” Jeffrey said, feeling a little annoyed that his sister was keeping him on his toes.“Yeah, whatever,” Jessica responded and closed her eyes to sleep for a while before they reached home.“Jess, you brought me out of Brother's car to tell me what happened at the Main Mansion. And speaking of that, I mean the sudden change of Claire to some badass girl in a movie. What's going on?” He asked.“I realized that all of you knew what was going on except me. Why don't I know
After Claire hurriedly entered her room, she thought Ethan would leave on his own.Putting her hand on her chest to calm her beating heart, Claire heaved a gigantic sigh of relief. “Wow, that was close.” She said to herself. “Well, indeed it was close. If you had kept your thoughts and emotions in place, I don't think there would have been any need for you to run.However, you stupidly almost followed Scarlett's suggestion and did something you would have regretted later on.” Mia scolded her. She was right. Claire thought. If she had given in to Scarlett's suggestion and kissed Ethan on an impulse, who could imagine what Ethan would have done to her?He already gave in to her when they were in the car by allowing himself to be hugged by her. And also, he carried her to her door when she was asleep. That might have been his limit and there was no way Claire would want to test the water. Claire knew not to push it too far. So, she was glad that Mia brought her back to her senses whic
The morning sun shone brightly on Claire's face, illuminating and complimenting her pale and delicate skin.She looked like a beautiful newborn sleeping in her bed peacefully with a mouth slightly opened.The sight of her could melt both men's and women's hearts. She's the absolute definition of beauty and innocence which can enchant every living being.However, because of what happened between her and Ethan, Claire wasn't able to sleep early. And because of that, she had forgotten today was her first day at college. This means she didn't set her alarm to wake her up.********Ethan had the best sleep ever in his life after his passionate kiss with Claire the night before. He never thought sleeping could be this wonderful throughout his entire life. He didn't dream of his horrible childhood or that unfaithful event from his childhood. He just slept peacefully as every other human being. Just remembering his kiss with Claire and her straddling him whilst she caressed his hair sending
But Ethan was gentle, soothing her with soft words and caresses. "I'm sorry, love. Trust me, you'll love it. Just hold on for a while." He waited patiently, allowing her to adjust to his junior before beginning a slow, passionate rhythm. As she relaxed, he increased the pace, his thrusts becoming more urgent, more wild. Claire's moans and screams filled the room, her body bouncing on the mattress in time with his movements. Their bodies moved in perfect harmony. Ethan lifted her leg to his shoulder to deepen their connection. He kissed her leg with fervor as if every inch of her skin was meant to be worshipped by him. As he began to move rapidly, her legs wrapped tightly around his waist, his hands fondling her breasts while his lips devoured hers, leaving them tender and swollen. The intensity of their passion was palpable. In a swift motion, he lifted her legs onto his shoulders, expertly stimulating her G-spot, sending waves of pleasure through her body. Next, he pulled
As Ethan's hands roamed her body, Claire's resolve began to crumble, and she couldn't help but moan in response to his tantalizing touch. His smirk grew wider as he whispered, "That's good. Keep on doing that!" He lavished attention on her belly button, sucking and kissing it, sending shivers down her spine. His gentle bites and soft kisses on her thigh left her feeling like she was burning with desire, craving more of his caresses. She clenched the bedsheet tightly and arched her back. This was the first time she was experiencing something like that, so the feelings were too much for her to handle. With a flirtatious tug, Ethan teased her by pulling down her lace panties, making Claire's face flush with embarrassment and shyness. She instinctively closed her legs, but he gently coaxed them apart, reveling in the breathtaking view before him. Both of them couldn't believe they were actually going to do the deed. The strange thing is that it felt normal to them as if they were
Ethan and Claire continued devouring each other's lips as they forgot everything and everyone except themselves. Ethan's passion for Claire was so immense that he was barely holding on to the little sanity in him in other not to snap and take her now and then. Sensing that Claire was out of breath, Ethan broke their kiss and gave her the chance to take in oxygen into her lungs. His hand softly caressed her face. Looking at her red slightly swollen lips, Ethan forgot all logic and made a decision. He won't let Claire go with just a kiss. He wanted her and looked at how Claire was also looking at him, Ethan she might have also come to the same conclusion. Ethan's piercing gaze held Claire captive, his passion and charm rendering her helpless. As he tenderly stroked her hair, his warm breath whispered in her ear, "May I?" The gentle nip on her earlobe sent shivers down her spine, and she couldn't suppress a soft moan. The sound of her pleasure only fueled Ethan's desire, and
"Have you forgotten what you did earlier? I just wanted to check your temperature, but you grabbed my hand and refused to let go. I had no choice but to share my bed with you. Not only that, but immediately you felt me on the bed. You climbed on top of me and hugged me as if your life depended on it. And now, you are asking? Claire, since when did you become shameless?" Ethan teased her. Clara was mortified, even though having no recollection of what had transpired. But Ethan told her about hugging his hand and even wrapping her arms around his waist while he was trying to sleep. That thought alone made her red with embarrassment. As if that wasn't enough, Ethan went on and said many things that actually didn't happen while laughing at her red face. "Stoooooopppppp!!! Please stop!" Claire begged him to stop, but Ethan's laughter was infectious, and he couldn't help but continue. Eventually, he composed himself, and Claire shot him an angry glance, though her embarrassm
As Ethan basked in a pleasant dream, he was abruptly jolted awake by the distressed cries of someone nearby. He sat up in bed, scanning the room for an intruder, only to realize that the hand grasping his was visibly trembling. He soon noticed Claire thrashing about, caught in the grip of what seemed like a nightmare. Ethan immediately tried to rouse her, calling out her name repeatedly, but she remained entranced. Tears streamed down her face as beads of sweat trickled from her forehead. Ethan attempted to shake off her absorption, to no avail. So, he gently lifted her onto his lap, cradling her in a tight embrace, hoping that it would soothe her. As Claire's body relaxed against the warmth of his chest, her agitation gradually subsided like the work of a magician, making her body went limb on his lap. Ethan softly whispered reassurances, trying to calm her down. He stroked her hair, his fingers weaving through her locks in a soothing motion that helped calm her nerves
The air inside Ethan's car was thick with tension as he sped down the road, his foot heavy on the accelerator. His urgency to get home stemmed from his desire to have Chase examine Claire, who was in a bad state. Beats of sweat formed on her forehead, and her face looked pale. The rain had subsided, leaving behind a gentle drizzle, but Claire still shivered despite the car heater's warmth. Her face had lost its color, and her sleep was fitful, punctuated by murmurs of Ethan's name. Ethan's voice, laced with concern, broke the silence. "Claire, are you okay?" He asked, his usual detachment replaced by a mix of emotions. Claire's response was a faint whisper, "Cold... It's so cold..." Ethan didn't hesitate, pulling over on the left side of the road and rushing to her side to unbuckle her seatbelt. He then gently lifted her into his lap, where she instinctively wrapped her arms around him, seeking warmth and comfort from his body. As Claire's body relaxed against his, Ethan f
"E- Ethan!" She called out weakly, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions – anger, relief, grief, and more."Let's go home. Jessica and Jeffrey are waiting for you. Chase is also there. He will take care of you, alright?" Ethan said softly, comforting Claire with his words. He felt so remorseful looking at her pale face.However, Claire reluctantly extricated herself from his grasp. She was still seething with anger towards him."I have no desire to go to your house! You banished me, did you not? What if I accompany you and you disown me once more for any trivial misstep? Will I become your plaything then? To be discarded whenever you see fit, only to be retrieved when it suits your fancy? No, thank you!" Claire retorted and attempted to walk away.Despite her state, she still didn't want to be a burdens for others. If leaving everyone will bring peace not only to herself but also to the people around her, then so be it. No one really wanted her any
"Then what are you waiting for? Take her to the hospital! Do you want her to die?" Old Madam Wilson exclaimed, shocking everyone present.Was she genuinely concerned for Claire's well-being? No, that couldn't be. Their conversation earlier in the day flashed through their minds.Indeed, the old woman was cunning. She still harbored the desire to use Claire to gain favor with the Richardson family.Kelvin felt disgusted by his grandmother's behavior, but he remained silent. For now, his focus should be solely on Claire. He would have to confront his grandmother later on.After a while, Claire started coughing, drawing everyone's attention back to her."Little one, how are you feeling?" Kelvin asked with genuine concern. "Mom, Claire's awake!" He called for his mother, who rushed out of the kitchen with a hot bowl of soup in her hands."Oh, my child! How are you feeling? What happened to you?" Mrs. Wilson bombarded Claire with questions, her tear-stained face revealing her worry.Claire
Claire remained rooted in place, her body trembling uncontrollably. Her mind raced, attempting to make sense of the situation. Who was this Angel? And why was someone looking for her?Thoughts and emotions coursed through Claire's body, causing violent shocks that seemed to pull her out of the dimension she was in. She turned to where the mysterious boy had been hiding, hoping to catch a glimpse of his face. But he was nowhere to be seen. In the blink of an eye, Claire was back in the reality of lying on the side of the road.As she opened her eyes, Claire noticed the murky water surrounding her, but she paid no attention. Her mind was consumed with trying to make sense of what had just happened.Where was she? If she's still lying in the rain on the roadside, where was that thick forest she saw? Was that a vision or a dream?And then it hit her like a bolt of lightning making her gasped in disbelief. "W-was that my memory?" She whispered, fear creeping into her heart.But that can't b
