All Chapters of Hired For The Billionaire's Son: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"So what's up?" Liam asked when we were going and Emily turned to me, telling me to answer the question. Oh right, I had something I wanted to tell them. "Oh okay, what I wanted to say was that can we not tell them about what happened? I mean Mum and Dad? I don't want to make this thing bigger than it already is plus I don't want Ethan to get into more trouble." I told them and they exchanged a look between themselves. "We won't tell them if that's what you want but I'll just add that anything that has to do with Ethan, a lot of publicity is usually involved, so even if we don't tell them, they're going to find out about it one way or the other," Liam explained to me and to be honest, he was very right, there was no way I could keep this from them, no matter how much I tried to, but one thing about me was that, I was as resilient as they came, I wouldn't back down without a fight. "I understand, but let's not say anything, let's just hold on and observe how things go from here, ho

I sucked in a deep breath as I stood in front of the mirror to adjust my blazer, I palmed it down more, attempting to straighten it out more and get rid of all the imaginary creases it had.I was quite nervous you see, and whenever I got nervous like that, what I would do was I would pay extra attention to myself or whatever I was putting on, I would automatically get more picky. The reason I was nervous today was simple: Today was D-day. Today was the day Ethan had put on the letter he sent me from the court. We were going to appear in court today and when we did, our divorce was going to be finalized. I had been in denial all week, not believing all that was going on but today when I got a message straight from the court, it dawned on me that all of this was real. Denying it hadn't made it disappear after all, so the only option I had left was to accept it.Accept it and face it and although I wouldn't understand what was going on in Ethan's head, and what could be his reason for

We sat on opposite sides of the room when we entered. Ethan, together with Lucy and their lawyer took the left side of the room while the rest of us, I meant the whole family and I, with our lawyer too, took the right side. An invisible line has been drawn between us. "All arise!" The clerk of the court yelled out. This was my first time in a courtroom and I didn't know exactly what to do but I saw everyone jump to their feet as soon as the clerk yelled that out, so I just blindly followed suit as well. When we stood up, a door opened from the right corner of the room and a judge walked into the room. He was an old man, not too old but not exactly young either, he looked like he was in his mid-sixties, he entered the courtroom with a bunch of folders in his hand and took a seat in the middle chair that was arranged on the small podium. He introduced himself but I didn't catch his name. I was looking around, trying to feed my eyes. What I meant was that I was trying to capture with

"Are you all packed?" Emily peeped into the room and smiled at me, looking at my surroundings as well. "Almost," I responded to her and she opened the door wider and fully stepped into the room. "Anything I can help you with?" She looked around, wondering what was left for me to pack and how she could help me with it too. "Just a few things in the closet," I told her and she nodded and turned around to make her way into the closet, wheeling one of my half-full suitcases along with her too. "You know you don't have to leave." I heard her say from inside the closet again and I sighed heavily and quite loudly, I wanted her to hear, I didn't want to have this conversation again. "Wait, listen to me, Kate. I know we've had this conversation dozens of times but I have to at least try and convince you." She argued again but it was all futile. All her arguments and that of every one were all going to fall on deaf ears, my mind was already made up, I had decided on what I now wanted to d

As Emily and I were going down the flight of stairs that would take us to the living room, my mind continued to wonder if Ethan had indeed decided to show his face here.But could he show his face here? After everything he said and did? Would he have the guts to come here? What would he say in fact? Would he apologize for being a massive asshole or what?As we continued our journey downstairs, my thoughts then took another direction, what if he was here to introduce Lucy to his parents? What if he wasn't here to see me but he was here to ask for their blessings to move forward with his relationship with Lucy? That could be possible too, he could be here for that as well."Are you going to tell us who the big guest is?" Emily asked Liam again and I suddenly realized that Liam was yet to tell us who the guest was. I had forgotten that he hadn't told us that it was Ethan, that had just been the conclusion I formed in my head. Who else could it be then? I wondered but I couldn't think of
