"Mom, don't tell me that the name of his school is Bel-Air middle school?" Jamie questioned with a surprise look on his face. "Yes it is, have you heard about it before?" Giselle queried with a smile."Of course, it is the most prestigious middle school in the city, do you remember the time that I told you that I got a chance to go there when I was selected to participate in an inter-school competition? I was amazed when I saw the school, it was so big but I was only given the second place, their representative was a girl and she won the first place." Jamie explained with a bright smile and Ethan laughed. Jason also raised his head in pride."Atleaset, he knows what is good." Jason murmured."Yes dear, you would be transferred to the school next week, I will follow you to your former school to fill some forms and other formalities. Then the next day, you would be able to follow Jason to school."Although Jamie was unwilling to breath in the same air as the proud brat, the joy that h
"Ethan, long time no see, did you miss me?" Athena's suggestive voice came from the other side of the phone and Ethan frowned."Why are you calling me Athena?" Ethan questioned in anger, he recoiled when he noticed Giselle's glare on him but he quickly composed himself to deal with Athena first."I knew you would still have my contacts and I am glad that you proved me right, you still have me in your mind right?" She asked and Giselle scoffed."Can you get straight to the point?" Giselle suddenly interrupted and the original calm Athena became agitated.Her voice changed from the gentle one to a shrill."Why are you with that slut? I have been hearing the rumors that you are with a low life wrench but I did not believe it because I knew that you still had me in mind. So what are you doing with her? Ethan, are you cheating on me?" Ethan snickered in mock at her statement."Don't be delusional, you were the one that left him in the first place and you are claiming he is cheating on you
After filling some other forms and some procedures, Jamie officially withdrew from the school, the principal was also curious as to the reason why and Giselle told him, since she felt that he only asked because of curiosity. When they finished everything, Jamie was very happy.He felt that since he already withdrew from this school, he would be able to go to the most prestigious and respectable middle school together with Jason."You seems happy?" Giselle asked the boy when she noticed that he had been smiling foolishly since they left the Principal's office."Yes Mom, I am happy that I will finally become a student of Bel-Air middle school, I have always been envious of the atudents in those school but I did not bother you because I knew our condition. And now, my dream us about to come true, so Of course, I am happy." The boy explained and Giselle nodded.She blamed herself because she had never knew that Jamie liked Bel-Air, it was even Ethan that bought the idea of him transferri
The boys looked up and saw Jason, followed by their class teacher, Mrs Smith.She was a very strict woman and the kids were scared of her so when they saw her, their fave turned ashen in fear."T...te..teacher...we..." Stephen stuttered but could not form words and the teacher came closer."Follow me to my office right now, Jamie and Jason, you guys should follow them too." The woman said and turned around to leave.Stephen glared at Jamie and Jason in anger but quickly followed the woman together with his lackeys with their heads lowered. Jason helped Jamie up and they followed behind them...."What is the meaning of what I saw earlier?" Mrs Smith asked with a deep frown on her wrinklied face.Before Stephen could talk, Jamie spoke up with trembling voice."Auntie, Jason took me around to showme the facilitiesin the school and the other class rooms but Stephen stopped us on the way, he called me a gangster and it got me angry, when I screamed at him, he ordered his friends to attac
When Ethan came back that night, he met her in his room. She was smiling blissfully and it made him wonder what happened but he was okay, as long as she was happy. Giselle raised her head and when she saw Ethan, she stood up and went over to collect his coat for him and folded it. Ethan removed his tie and then his shirt and turned to her. "What is making you so happy?" he asked while holding her waist. "How was your day?" she asked instead of replying to him and he raised his eyebrows. "Hectic?" "Go and freshen up, I will reheat your dinner and serve you, we will talk after we've talked." "Are the kids asleep?" Ethan asked casually but he noticed how the smile on Giselle's face deepened at the mention of the kids and he started thinking. "Yes, they went to sleep after dinner." Giselle replied and walked out. When Ethan finished showering and went downstairs, Giselle had already served the dish, so he just sat tp eat and she watched him. "You've had dinner already?" he aske
"Why are you calling me?" Giselle asked with an edge to the tone of her voice. Athena laughed loudly and spoke up. "Ethan did not tell you right? You are just a replacement, a surrogate and you would pack your things because I am back to take what belongs to me." Giselle laughed humorlessly and replied to her jeer with another of her own. "You already betrayed his love and his trust when you decided to discard him and elope with another man, you do not have a say at all, your era is over. You can't just abandon him and then come back again expecting him to continue waiting for you, it does not work like that." Athena kept quiet for a while and then said, "It is just a fight and a misunderstanding between us husband and wife, you are the outsider in this issue and you will continue to be. You are not married to him but I got married to him, he did not agree to the divorce in the first place because he loves me a lot." Her words jabbed at Giselle's heart painfully and Giselle went
Ethan was very angry at the way Giselle had behaved earlier.He had went out of his way to take her out, just to cheer her up even when he was very busy but she just wasted all his efforts.He was furious but more disappointed, he knew something was bothering her so bad and he had guessed that it was about Athena. He was disappointed because she was keeping her worries from him, he wanted her to be dependent on him.He would do all the work and her own was just to tell him what was wrong but she did not, she just kept everything to herself.He then started to regret his decision of leaving her by herself , he did not know what was bothering her and leaving her alone was never an option."You are so foolish Ethan, you walked away when she needed you the most." he cursed at himself and instructed the driver to take a detour, back to their home.He quickly got down the moment they got home and rushed to Giselle's room.He would not mind if she yells at him or scolds him but he would not
The next day, Ethan went to work and the kids went to school, leaving just Giselle at home.Ethan already opened the mall for her and she had decided to check it out today.She was very bored staying alone at home and Tasha was not back yet. She entered the car Ethan had arranged for her and the same midde-aged driver was the one that drove her, it seems he was her exclusive driver."Uncle, take me to the newly bulit mall." Giselle requested politely."You don't have to call me Uncle Milady, my name is Leo." the man replied awkwardly and Giselle smiled.She would not disrespect an elder because he was her driver, she was not even used to others serving her. That was why she preferred doing things herself, she had even thought of getting a driver's license but did not, because she knew that the man was only surviving with the pay from the job.As the car drifted in the streets, Giselle looked at the scenery outside and enjoyed the fresh air and scent of flowers. Then, She suddenly sa
Soon after concluding on their next plan, Athena left together with Theo.The moment they left the room, the masked man raised his hands and removed the black mask on his face, revealing a very familiar and unexpected face. Griffin.The men also did the same thing and removed their masks.Griffin placed the mask down and tap his right index on the table in contemplation. "But Boss... what if this plan does not work?" his assistant asked in doubt and the rhythmic tapping stopped before Griffin replied."If it does not work, then we move ahead with plan B, if she can not belong to me, she cannot belong to anybody else. But the plan should work out, I have planned everything meticulously."His assistant nodded and asked again."Since you already have everything planned, why are you still hiding your face from Athena and Theo? Since they've become your accomplice, shouldn't you show them who you are?" Griffin chuckled at that question and peered at his assistant. "If this plan fails a
"Can you give me one last chance? I am sure Ethan still loves me, he was just hooked by that slut." Athena pleaded and the masked man kept quiet for some seconds, then he nodded. "If you still can't make him come to you, we will have to kill him." the man said and she nodded. She would not miss this chance. ... As Ethan had said, they did not meet Lucy when they got home the next morning. It was like she was never there, all traces of her just disappeared. Giselle quickly went to the kids room to check up on them, Jason was already dressed and when she entered Jamie's room, she found that he was still sleeping. She stormed over instantly, preparing to reprimand him. "Get your lazy bum up right now." When she got to him, she noticed that his face was red and pale. Startled, she quickly felt his temperature and knew that he had a fever. It made her anxious. Jason entered the room that moment. "Quick, tell Ethan to call the doctor, Jamie is running a fever." she said and Jas
Giselle ran with her hands covering her mouth.Her muffled cries echoed through the silent hallway and soon, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her."Giselle, please wait, there is a misunderstanding." Ethan shouted behind her but she did not stop to listen.Ethan had already added one piece to another and concluded that Athena was the one behind all this mess, if only Giselle could listen to his explanation.He had already guessed that the smell he had perceived earlier was an aphrodisiac because he could feel his whole body was burning.But because he was running, it reduced the effects of the drug.Giselle quickly entered the elevator before Ethan could reach and left.The anxious Ethan quickly took the steps but when he got to the lower floor, he could only watch as Giselle left."Do you think she would listen to you?" Ethan suddenly heard a mocking voice behind him and when he turned to look, he saw that it was Theo.Ethan stormed over to his side and grabbed him by his coll
Ethan was in his office going through some files when a message came in on his private number. The only people that has access to his private number is his Family, Giselle, the two boys and Fred, his assitant. So, when the phone vibrated to notify him that there was a new message, he instantly picked it up and saw that there was a message from Giselle. "I am so sorry for everything that I have done that made you angry, I have wronged you in many ways and to apologize for it, I have planned a surprise for you, that was what I went to do this evening with Lucy. Come to the Dela Cruz Hotel at 10pm, room 106, I will be waiting for you. Love, Giselle." Ethan smiled after reading the message, he had given her a cold shoulder this morning, she must be feeling guilty, so she had quickly organize a surprise to make up to him. Ethan was surprised that Giselle could be this romantic, he was not expecting it but he was eager to see what she had in plan for him. Ethan decided to call his ch
Theo stared at Athena and took one step back to check if he had entered the right room.When he confirmed that it was indeed the room that strange man had instructed him to go to, he furrowed his brows.He pushed Athena aside and entered the room, he did not bother about the woman that was cursing loudly behind him but he sat down comfortably and stared at her."So, what were you saying?" he asked and Athena scowled."What are you doing here?" Athena asked, hoping that he was not the one that man had sent.She could not imagine herself working for someone like him, she even found him irritating."I am here because someone asked to come, what do you think?"Athena sighed helplessly, knowing already that he was the one she had been waiting for.The bastard had even wasted her time and kept her waiting, if she had known that it was him, she would not have waited at all."Who sent you?" Athena asked again and Theo shrugged. "I don't know, that man just promised me to help me get back to
