Tears threaten to wet her eye but no she will never shed another tear for her. She had done it over the years and it was enough.âVivian, I thought that you are the actress with countless men on your disposals. Please donât embarrass yourself by throwing yourself at him. He doesnât want you. âSusan said this remembering the images on her phone that Vivian sent her on the day that she decided to go and stay with her mother.âAnd you think that he is interested in second hand goods like your?â Vivian fired back. âEthan has never been interested in you. Accept it and move on. This is one man that you will never be able to get your hands on and I am telling you this for free. Did you think that by striping for him, he would sleep with you? Well, he has me and I satisfy him so well. So stop sending me those disgusting images of your ugly bodyâ Susan added, it was about time to stand up for herself. âWhat! I donât know what you are talking about âVivian denied her immediately. It happened
Susan pouted her face funnily. âI just feel pressured. Will you kiss her at the launch? Will you hug her and hold her tight? I am already jealous and I canât help it but feel sadâ she confessed meaning every word.The man held her tight in his arms âI am not going to lie to you but things are not going to be easy on us. All I know is that I believe in us that we can pass through anything in this world. You just have to trust in me. When all this is over, then we can live our life and forget everybody elseâ he pinched her cheeks and she immediately turned red.Someone cleared her voice and it was then that they saw Karen standing in the living room looking at them with a smile on her face.âMaâam, it is good to see you again. How are you doing? I will go and prepare for you a hot bath in your room then lunch will be ready. Just name whatever that you want to eat and I will prepare it for you.â Karen was so excited to see Susan. âThank you, Karen but I am not angry. The only thing tha
His lips landed on her mouth and at that point, she needed not to talk anymore. He wanted to feel, to experience yet another round of nothing but pure sweetness. It made him feel alive.Tears rolled on the side of her eyes as he plunged deeper and took complete control of her mouth, teasing and exploring just the way he does it better.This has been what she has been dreaming of, it has been giving her sleepless nights and now that she had him, she was still scared. Susan was afraid that he was too good to be true and that maybe he was just taking her for a wild ride.She didnât have the patience for another failure in life. she only wanted the best for herself and her baby. âYou are not giving yourself to me wholly. come on, I can feel that you are holding back. What is wrong love? We are supposed to be on the same page here.â He muttered and Susan could feel the disappointments in his voice.âI just love you too much and I donât want to share you with anybody not even my sister.
âYesâĶ. I wish that you would stay for the rest of the afternoon but I guess that I canât demand too much of your time. I donât want to be a nagging wife.â But she realized that he was silent. He seems to be deep in thought.Ethan was still staring at a daze when he felt soft hands touching his chinâ Donât worry, I understandâ she kissed his lips and smiled for himâ I know that you are going to the event for your motherâs sake and I know better than to try and stop you. Just do what you have to do and I will be here waiting for you.âWith a worried face, he stood up and announced âI am sorry, love but I have to go. Pleas be calm, I will be back sooner than you thinkâ he caressed her cheeks and then went to the shower. A moment later, he came back wearing his usual custom-made suits. For him, every occasion was special and a good presence was necessary. He didnât dress up for Vivian but he had Susan in mind when he was putting on that suit. Just imagining them walking together withou
The crowd was quiet as everyone focused their eyes on the man of the day. He looked serious and handsome as always. Women just ogled on his looks.âWhat I would like you all to know is that Susan Cross is a very special woman to me. I helped her when she had no one, not even her family was available that is why we are fond of each other very much. For now, I donât want to talk more about her because some of you will misinterpret my words but I want you people to leave her in peace. Donât mention her anywhere in your media gossip and donât cross her. She is not the one whose movie is being launched today, okay. âEthan could see his parentsâ throwing daggers at him.âWell, if you donât have any other thing to talk about then we will take our seatsâ Ethan said emotionlessly, glad that he had been able to compose himself all this while.âJust one last thing before we let you go with your soon to be wife âanother person interrupted. âWe as the media people, we value and love you for the
âYou are hurting me, Ethan. what is wrong with you?â Vivian cried out.âIs anything the matter? Ethan, why are your shouting?â Ariel asked while hugging her daughter. Havenât you hurt her enough? Look at her, she is beautiful, successful and elegant. What more do you want in a woman?â Seeing her protect Vivian like that made her look like a coward especially when he remembered that Susan had no love from her.âLike daughter like mother. Is she the only child that you have? I donât even know why God gave you a child when you donât even want to take care of them. You spoil and teach one bad manner and then you abandon the other one.ââI am sorry, but how I raise my kids is none of your business. What I wonât take is your continuous disregard for Vivian. would it hurt you to show her just a little affection?âThis was not the boy who used to love her presence. She didnât know where everything changed along the way. All of a sudden, Ethan didnât want anything to do with her.Ethan didnât
Wait a minute! he remembered sleeping with Susan last night but why the hell was he in a hotel room? he looked at his side and saw Vivian deeply asleep. He quickly lifted the quilt and saw that he was indeed naked. He had slept with Vivian without protection. How the hell would he fucking explain this to Susan? He has cheated on her when he had promised her that he will never do it. what if Vivian gets pregnant? A lot of thoughts were going on in his mind and he didnât know what to do anymore.Ethan tapped on Vivianâs shoulder. she woke up while rubbing her sleepy eyes.â Fucking explain what happened in here. I told you that I never wanted to get involved with your shitty nonsense.â his voice sounded cold and Vivian started getting nervous.âCanât you see, we slept together. why are you even worried? we are getting married in a week, so it is not such a big dealâ Susan said as he stared at her with daggers.If looks could kill, he would have already done so long time ago. Ethan did
âBastards, I will transfer the money in a minute, okay. But I promise that you will return that money one day.â Immediately, he took his phone and initiated the process. He knew that they would always find a way to bribe him for money. But he would be glad to find a solution from them because now his mind wasnât working at all.âI knew that Vivian was a bitch. But donât worry, brother. we are here for you and we will protect you from her. Although, we donât like Susan, Vivian is even worst. We have had her on our radar for awhile now and we will be happy to help you with herâ Damian suggested. âWell âĶgood luck with getting rid of her when I am marrying her in one week.ââYou sure will find a way to tell her off. we will handle our mother for you. You know that she loves and listens us. As for father, you will just have to fight with him until you be on the same page. Tell him that you arenât in love with Vivian and make him understand. He is like a robot , I never liked his commandi
âI love you âEthan said as he kissed her passionately on the lips.âI love you moreâ Susan replied as they turned to the crowd while smiling with charm. It was unexpected wedding yet colorful. with the close family members available, they didnât need any more witnesses for their love. It was just perfect the way it was.âBaby brother, you finally made it. We are so happy for you âDamian said with excitement in his eyes. âToday we wonât prank you or try to leech off of you but we have a surprise for the two of you âhe added with seriousness on his face.âOhâĶ..please have you ever done anything for me without expecting payment . I am warning you, I am not in the mood for your craziness. I donât want to be grumpy on my wedding night âhe commented and Susan blushed.âYes âĶDevil king. We have been planning this for so long because we knew that you will end up with her. She is so beautiful and goodhearted. We have learned a lot from her and every day we are trying to be good people. âDami
Ethan sneered as he looked at her coldly. âI warned you to stay out of my life and to stop bothering me. Do you think that you can control my life as if I was a robot? I never liked you in anyway. Susan was and will be my dream woman until the day that I die.â Ethan added.âOhâĶ..You are so predictable, darling . All along I knew where you had taken them. Forgive me for fooling you but they are safe and the person getting married for real today is my sweet baby girl, Susan. I have to return to her everything that I deprived of her including the man that she loves. ââSusan, the real wedding is about to start. come out, darling âAriel said and Susan appeared in to the hall with Serena and Gordon holding her hands.âMother, you bought her my dream wedding dress?â Vivian was so startled. she couldnât believe her eyesâWhy not? it canât compensate for the years that I neglected her but I wouldnât have hesitated to give you one if only you would have avoided trouble âAriel said as she st
That was when Susan turned to Ethanâ Please watch over Happy and do not dare let Mark come near him. â she said and hugged her mother one last time.â It was good to be in your arms, mommy. I hope that you wonât fail me and my sister in the future âShe said as she turned her back and went out with Melvin.They went straight to the address that they were given. Vivian sent someone to take them to undisclosed location. She knew that she had to be careful.âTie yourself with the ropeâ Vivian instructed when they finally met with her.âVivian, since we are here, you can go ahead and release the baby âMelvin said coldly.âShut up idiot. Just because you are here doesnât mean that I have to release that little useless brat. She is of no use to me. She couldnât even help me get back Ethan or even his wealth. I needed her to be a boy instead of a pitiful l weak girl. Why should I bother myself with her? Now that I have the two of you, it is my perfect time. The plan has changed.âWhat are you
âWell âĶ. I will send the address. I want them to come alone. Just the two of them because they are not meant to be your daughters. I am the only one who should be yours. âShe said and disconnected the phone.Melvin held her motherâs hands gently. She could see that she was in panic. The only thing that she could think about was that this was her family now and their problems were hers now. She would make any sacrifices for them no matter what.âMommy, I heard everything and I will gladly go. We are the ones that she has a problem with and I think that we should not let our little Joy pay for it.ââMelvin, you canât go, I canât lose you again, sweet sister. Please stay, I will find a way to get my daughter back âEthan said as he pulled her in to a hug.Melvin closed her eyes and said âDonât be too clingy. Donât you know that we are both evil and we always find our ways out of situations like this? If Vivian wants me then I will go. âShe pinched his cheeks and smiled âseriously, this is
Susan smiled and kissed his lips tenderly âYeah âĶyou have a way of calming me down. I love you.âThat night, Melvin couldnât sleep. She just wanted to talk to her mother. She wanted to confide in her and experience how it felt like.There has been so much burden that she has been holding on her shoulder and she needed to let them go. She had promised the love of her life on his last breath that she will try and be happy.âWe will sleep together the way that we should have done when you were a baby. I swear that I will make up for everything that you missed in your life âAriel said as she brushed her hair softly.âYou know, mother. I grew up in a loving family but I had a hollow feeling in my heart that I couldnât explain. When I couldnât take it anymore, I joined the special forces and was deployed on the border. I was trained as doctor and I did my work very well until that fateful day.âShe hesitated and then with smile on her face she said âthen I met the love of my life there. He
âNot so fast, you guys found our sister and you didnât even think of telling us?â Damian glanced at the people before proceeding towards Melvin.âI have always wished for a doctor in our family so that she can treat Ethan. Sometimes, I think that he is crazy for real âDevin saidâAnyway, I am joking. I will carry my sister in to the car. âDevin added with smile.âI will drive them to wherever they are going and I will be their cook for the night âDamian offered.Celia smiled as she looked at her twins. They were a pain in the ass but sometimes they were sensible. At least they were making a good humor out of the difficult situation.âDarlings, I am so proud of you âCelia sent them flying kisses as they made their way out of the hospital with Melvin.Ariel left but she knew that she still had one mission left. She will come back for Susan. she was sorry that today, she only had time for Melvin. Soon, she believed that the three of them will be together as one family. Finally, she had
Susan moved forward with tears in her eyes âWelcome to the family, sweetie. we met for a reason and I am glad that you came my way. From today onwards, I will be the one to protect you. âSusan said while avoiding her motherâs gaze.Then it was Ethanâs turnâ Even though, I loved you before, now I will adore you as my sweet sister. we could use a female sibling in the family to keep us boys in checks. Remember that you can always count on me. Our family might be a dysfunctional one but we have always taken care of each other.âMelvin didnât say anything as Evans too stepped forward and gave her a hugâ I hope you will forgive me one day. I know I wronged you but I still love you despite all the things that I have done against you. You are still my little sweet girl.ââDear, I am not your mother and I do not support what they did, but I will always be there for you when you need me?â Celia said and then Serena addedâ You are my niece who I didnât know existed. Always count on me. I will l
âI accept that I was always a mischief growing up but I also suffered. It isnât easy to live with the guilt of having killed someone that you loved. All these bad things that I did in the past was because I didnât know myself. I was lost and confused all because of you, Evans Griffins. Can you give me back my life ? I lost my wife and child in the midst of all this. I have nothing just because of you âMark chimed in looking distressed.âSon, the most important thing is that the truth has come out. So, you can start over your life and change for the better. I know that I havenât been a good father either but I love you than you can ever imagineâ Leonardo said with a relief in his eyes.âI was never a bad person. I only changed after people judged me for something that I didnât do. I felt that I was really a bad person. So, I became what you intended on me to be ?â Mark said and then turned to Ethan.âYou were supposed to be my friend and yet you turned your back on me. I told you man
Melvin pouted her mouth like a little spoiled brat.âIt couldnât wait until I come back home?â She asked as she opened the door and ran into her fatherâs warm embrace âDid you get lost along the way?â she asked as Ethan eyes widened in surprise to see Melvin hugging Charles Oliver warmly.Now it made sense why he felt so strange around Melvin. She was indeed Miranda. If that was the case, what the hell happened back then? who died and who was buried?While he was still staring at a daze Gordon, Serena and Ariel entered in to the house. It seemed that Ariel have been crying and she didnât look too good.âDamn you people, I hate you all. Why didnât you tell me that my daughter was still alive? I have been waiting days and night to finally apologize to her. were you waiting for her to die for real so that you can tell me? My God, she almost died the other day and I wasnât even there to protect her, Serena. You couldnât even tell me that she had already given birth to my grandson. Why?â
