“Next six months?” Stan screamed on top of his voice, causing Kiara and her father to turn a sharp gaze at him.“I’m sorry, I was just quite surprised”, he said and chuckled nervously.“I understand that it’s too far, but at this point, we should work with what she has chosen”, Mr. white said as he continued munching on the chicken wings he had on the plate.“Eat your food”, Kiara whispered and nudged on Stan, whose attention was far away from them.“I should go out and get some air”, he excused himself and walked out of the dining hall, with Kiara exchanging glances with her father.“Do you think I said something wrong?” Kiara asked her father, with a gigantic frown on her face.She dropped her fork on the plate and folded her hands to her chest, clearly disturbed by how Stan had reacted.“He is fine, perhaps he needed some air like he said”, he said calmly and gestured on her to move further with her meal.“What if he leaves me like the others?” Kiara asked as tears welled up in her
Ethan barged into his father’s company with a giant scowl on his face. His face was red with anger and his blood boiled in rage. He ignored the greetings of the employees around as all he was concerned with was meeting his father to drop a piece of his mind.“I’m sorry sir, you can’t go in at the moment. Your father is with some people, very important”, a man who was clad in a suit said as he stood at Ethan’s front.Ethan scoffed as he clenched his fists in anger. He shot the man a dead glare in a bid to let him know that he was in for no joke.“Are you standing on my way?” Ethan asked as he took slow steps toward him.“I’m only following order's sir”, the man said, with his head lowered to the ground.“To hell with orders!” Ethan said defiantly as he flung his fists towards his face, causing him to let out a slight cry of pain.The man held his cheeks and glared at Ethan, who had no glimpse of remorse in his expression.“I’m sorry, I still can’t let you in”, the man said again, stan
Everyone was in awe as they watched Ethan, who showcased his inappropriate behavior in the public. None of the reporters present believed that Mr. Philip’s son was as aggressive and stubborn as he appeared to be. This caused their heart to leap in excitement, especially because they got something more spicy and juicy to add up to the story.Mr. Philip had summoned them for a press conference to address the issue of having a child somewhere with another woman. They had just finished listening to his story and as though luck were shining on them, they met his son who was behaving like someone who has just escaped from asylum.“What? Haven’t you all stared at me enough?” Ethan asked aloud as he broke into a loud and hysterical laughter.“Go and get busy, you nosy fools! Go on and write what you’ve seen today, idiots!” He insulted them and made to leave when he stopped right in his tracks.“And yes! Just a little warning to never hold me next time you see me”, Ethan said, and threw qui
Carissa stood at the front of her window as tears trickled out of her eyes.She was the most pathetic person on earth, and she needed no one to tell her that.For days after the failed wedding, she remained indoors, without an idea of what next to do or how to do it. She was certain that she couldn’t hide under that excuse for so long because the doctors already confirmed that she was doing great and only needed to rest for a couple of days.And subsequently, she is expected to put forth another date for her wedding.She sniffed hard when she realized that it was a burden which she alone understood. It was her cross to carry and somehow, she wished that someone could understand.Her door knob turned and immediately, she cleaned the tears off her face and wore her usual pretentious smiley face.“Carissa”, Mrs. Williams called out as she walked towards her with a giant smile on her face.“I thought you were taking a nap or something like that”, She added, while Carissa smiled and shook
“I’m ready to talk now!” Ethan said as he stood at the door of his father’s study.Mr. Philip glanced at him and, with a smirk, gestured for him to walk inside.The atmosphere turned dead silent as they both stared at each other.Ethan was furious, but then, he knew how fierce his father could be in some situations. If he needed to have a conversation, then he had to be calm.“Is it really true?” Ethan asked calmly, still clenching his hands in fury.“I presume that you should start off with an apology. You have no idea of the state you placed this company in”, Mr. Philip said with a giant scowl on his face.It was barely twenty-four hours since what transpired at the company, and several media outlets were already talking about how irresponsible the family is.“I’m sorry, but…”, Ethan said as he gritted his teeth and kept mute the moment his father raised his hands.“I apologize for all of these. It wasn’t planned, and I had no idea”, his father started saying, while Ethan let out a
“I hate you”, Ethan said as he pointed at his father with a trembling hands.“I hate that I do everything you ask me to do, and I hate that I’m living this kind of life”, Ethan said angrily and made his way out of the study.“Ethan!” Mr. Philip called as he stood to his feet and walked towards him.“Fix a wedding date, have your wife, and be the ideal heir according to the public. Your brother would be coming to live with you soon, and you don’t want him to trample on you”, He dropped, while Ethan clenched his fists and walked out of the study.He got to his room and let out a loud scream, after which he fell to the ground and broke into silent sobs. With rage burning in him, he stood up and shattered the flower vase that laid on his desk, ignoring the voices of some servants who were knocking on his door.He felt totally broken and devastated that for a minute, he wished he never existed.At the end of the day, he realized that again, he needed to do as his father had said. He had c
“I just need to take a walk. I would be back before you know it”, Stan said to Kiara, who was clinging to him like a child.“I decided to come spend the night with you. I planned that we would watch a movie, have a chat, and you know, share some moments together”, Kiara said as she held Stan, giving him her puppy eyes that did well in getting him irritated.“Just a walk, Kiara!” Stan said defiantly, trying so hard to avoid getting her pissed.The last time he had gotten her angry, she had reported to her father, and that caused him to get some deduction from his salary.Not only that, he had also been threatened by Mr. White, with a clear and detailed explanation of how he would deal with him if he gets her angry again.“How many minutes would it take you?” Kiara asked as she peered piercingly into his eyes.“Maybe an hour”, he said and smiled pretentiously.His heart ached each moment he did something out of pretence. With every day that passed, he was beginning to discover that he w
“Look at what my mother gave me”, Carissa said with a wide smile as she picked up the invitation card and passed it to Ethan.Ethan reluctantly collected it, trying so hard to conceal how disappointed he was with how she quickly had a change of topic.“What is this?” He asked with a giant frown on his face.“It’s a couple's funfair. I mean, my mum thought that it would be so great to attend it together with you”, Carissa said with a considerable smile on her face.She felt totally uneasy and deep down, she hoped that his attention would be drifted off the question he had asked.“This looks interesting”, Ethan mumbled under his breath as he dropped the card on the bed and returned his attention to her.“Carissa, sometimes I wonder if you realize how much I love you”, he said as he peered into her eyes intently, as though trying to discover something she was hiding.Stan stayed still outside the window, listening to their conversation and boiling in rage.A second ago, he raised his voi
