Chapter 41

"This should be interesting!!" Ethan said beside me as soon as I showed him the contents of the package. "What's that?" Liam asked from behind us, stepping around Grandma and Grandpa to come and see what we were supposedly raving about. When we showed him the invite, he looked at it for a few seconds before looking back at us, a confused expression on his face. I guess he was wondering why an invite to a party that was going to be hosted by my father was coming as a huge surprise to us. "Your dad's having a party and he invited the both of you, why is that weird?" He asked us. That's when I remembered that they didn't know what had gone down with Dad yet, we had kept it from the family but it was one of the reasons we were having dinner tonight, we planned to tell them everything. "Don't worry bro, you're in for a real treat tonight," Ethan said, throwing his arms around Liam's shoulders and pulling them further into the house. Emily took the invite from my hand as well and went

Chapter 42

Dad's party was supposedly gaining a lot of attention. It was in the news that I began to hear the full details of what was going down, it was no ordinary party, he was planning to celebrate him being the CEO of Miller Industries for fifty years. It was surreal when I thought about it, the fact that it's been fifty years since he took over, Miller industries were slowly turning into a generational company at this point, it was already one. Grandma and Grandpa had founded it in their days, then they had passed it on to mum who in turn had handed it over to me, it had been a long time coming and I was proud of what the company had accomplished and the global heights it had reached.In reality, I was going to celebrate what my grandparents and mum had accomplished over these years, I wasn't going because Dad had invited me, it was the very least I could do for Mum to honour her. Grandma Nora and Grandpa Max had left earlier during the week and as they were leaving, they had entrusted

Chapter 43

I should have known something was wrong the moment Dad took to the stage and introduced Ethan. If this party was to celebrate Dad's management over the company for the last fifty years, then he would never in a million years have decided to share the spotlight with someone else. So the fact that he had introduced Ethan and even gone as far as inviting him to the stage, sent off warning bells in my ears and why did I have this bad feeling in my gut that Ethan was also somehow aware of this? For starters, he had told me he met up with Dad earlier in the week. I found it absurd that he had met up with Dad just to discuss extending an invitation to Liam, if that was what they indeed talked about, it was a conversation they could have easily had over the phone. But going all the way to his office, behind my back as well? I wasn't sure that was something that was okay with me. And Ethan looked so calm through it all, I thought he was handling it well, he stood up and the spotlight fell

Chapter 44

The story continues in Ethan's POVEverything had turned out to be a huge mess. I didn't know how everything managed to spiral out of control in my hands. One minute I thought I had the upper hand and that everything was in my control, the next minute, it was all out of my hands, and it was a huge disaster. I did visit Kate's dad in his office earlier during the week, and I was being truthful when I said the only reason I went was so that I could get him to extend an invitation to Liam because I knew Mr Miller a little too much for his liking. I knew that once he termed someone his enemy, and once he decided to attack, he would attack from all corners, and so I wanted to have all my bases covered or so I thought. I wouldn't be there all the time to protect Kate, I would want to mingle as well, interact with some dignitaries, talk business with some other people as well, you know, just like every other party and I knew Kate got easily bored of all those things.The ideal thing to do

Chapter 45

I think I was cursed. Curses were something I didn't believe in once upon a time, superstitions, I would call them, but I was starting to believe it now, that was the only logical way to back up what had been going on all this while. There was never a break, a moment to just slow down and breathe, it was always one thing after the other. I remembered when I had just been labeled the biggest douchebag of the century when Jake had gone to show Kate's accident to the whole world. It felt like yesterday and I was even more devastated when Kate woke up from the accident and had no memory of me again, I had hurt her to the extent that she wanted to forget me. That was one of my life's lowest points and it was then I decided to at least try and do better. And I haven't gone back on my promise to do better since then. We've gone through more hard struggles after that accident and the things that came afterwards, Kate had even met her grandparents again and she had a narrow escape from de

Chapter 46

Why was this coming again? What was this curve ball that had again been thrown my way? Where was this coming from again? I continued to scroll through the several articles that had been uploaded in less than thirty minutes, they had said we met up in the place we used to go back when we were still together, and I realized then how stupid it was of me to ask us to meet up there. Not only had we met up in the place we supposedly used to go on dates back then, but we were also seen to be affectionate towards each other and they had pictures to back it up and I wished I could correct what wrong impression they had gotten. The pictures they had taken were taken from strategic angles. They had only captured Lucy's face and she was looking at me in such an adoring manner, like I was the one that put the stars in the sky. There was even a place she had reached out and taken my hands in hers, that had been captured as well. To top it all, the last picture which was the most controversial w

Chapter 47

I moved closer to the door and knocked on it, my heart beating very loudly with each knock, I was once again tempted to turn around and just leave everything behind but that would only be to my detriment. And besides, I already made up my mind to see this through, it wouldn't be a smart move on my part to leave now, especially when I had knocked on the door again. While I was contemplating the choice I was going to make, the door unexpectedly swung open and I came face to face with Emily and from the look on her face, I could tell that she wasn't happy with me. She didn't say anything as well, she just opened the door wider for me to come in and she stepped out of the way. I hesitantly stepped in and closed the door behind me, "Good afternoon Emily." I greeted her but she didn't even spare me a glance, she just made her way to the kitchen. Feeling out of place and not knowing what to do, I just stood in the middle of the living room, looking all around. Although it was Liam's hous

Chapter 48

"So you knew all along?" I asked Kate as she passed me a mug with coffee inside. She chuckled at my question and rolled her eyes as well. I couldn't exactly blame her, this was the third time in the past ten minutes that I was asking her this question. "Of course I knew, do you think I'm stupid?" Was her reply before she settled down beside me. "I know you're not stupid, it's just I already thought you'd also believe that I cheated on you, they even had pictures to back it up," I explained to her. "A picture doesn't always tell the full story, you know?" She asked rhetorically and once again I was rendered speechless by the sheer intelligence of this lady. "I know but they were convincing pictures." I didn't even know who I was trying to convince at this point. I found it rather strange when Kate had told me earlier that she knew I didn't cheat on her, even with the scandal that had just broken out upon my arrival. "They were convincing pictures but isn't it glaringly obvious tha

Chapter 49

The story goes back to Kate's POV"Are you sure this is what you want to do? I know we want to launch our attack on him to let him know we won't sit still neither will we be silenced but isn't this too much?" Ethan asked for the umpteenth time. I wasn't annoyed by his hesitancy and his questions, I would be more worried if he had supported me with no hesitation or tried to convince me to change my mind but the fact that he was doing this now, meant that he genuinely cared about me."I understand why you're hesitant, but we said we were going to war, didn't we?" I asked Ethan again and I saw him gulp visibly, he was terrified of what we were about to do. "I know you said we should rain hell down on him but I'm scared this darkness is going to consume you if you go through with this," Ethan said again, all still in an attempt to change my mind, but that was the thing about me, once my mind was made up on something, it was next to impossible to get me to change it and it was both a goo

Chapter 50

I picked up the phone and instead of answering the call and placing it by my ear, I simply put the call on loudspeaker so Ethan could hear what he was about to say as well and I knew he was going to have a lot to say. "You ungrateful, stupid, little bitch!!!" He roared thunderously as soon as I picked up the call, I simply chuckled at his rather colourful choice of words, it wasn't like I was expecting anything else. "Do you think this is funny? Do you think I'll let this slide just like that? Or simply because you're my daughter?" He asked and I was guessing he must have heard me chuckling. "I take it that you've seen the news." I started. "Kate, I'm telling you right now this instant, bring down those articles right this minute." He seethed at me. "Why? The public seems to love it and the press is digging it up. Why would I give up something that's giving us massive publicity like that?" I taunted him myself. "You're playing with fire little girl, and if you play with fire, yo
