At the Carter's Ethan decided to get serious with Jacqueline knowing Olivia was no more. He sent her a message and she called him immediately. They spend the night chatting and Ethan felt it was a good distraction at the moment.The next day, at the Garcia's, Jonathan was awake getting ready for work. When he came down to the living room and headed for the front door about to step out of the house, the servant approached him and asked him if he would wait a while for breakfast."No, I am already late," he replied and went out the front door with the servant watching him get into the ride he had requested. She closed the front door and went back to the kitchen to continue making breakfast. Jonathan had only done fifteen minutes of his journey when his phone started ringing. He checked the caller ID and it was from the office."Who is at the office this early to be calling me?" he thought since it was just 5 in the morning. He answered the call and frowned. "Hello?" he said. "Please
The call dropped and the phone started ringing again. Just then a hand touched him on the shoulder. He turned to find out who it was and frowned."Geez!" he exclaimed and got up from the seat."Who are you?" he asked looking at the strange-looking man in a baseball cap, shades and a nose mask. "Come with me," said the person."I am not going anywhere with you. Who are you?" Jonathan asked again looking at the person's eyes.The person does look familiar but he was wondering who the person was and why the disguise."I will tell you once we are outside," replied the person and the voice sounded familiar too. Jonathan looked around and followed the strange-looking man out of the hospital. He realized he was walking towards the hospital's parking space. He followed occasionally looking around to ensure he was safe. He went to a parked SUV with tainted glass and opened the door for him. Jonathan looked around, looked inside the car and back at the strange person. "Don't worry, you are
"He tried to take his own life," Jonathan replied and Camila's hand flew to cover her mouth in shock.'What happened?" she asked after she had calmed herself down."I don't know. Maybe out of guilt for how she treated Oliva," he replied. "What do you mean?" Camila asked. "Wait did I not mention to you Olivia is our half-sister?" he reminded. "You did but why will Dad want to take his own life because of that?" Camila asked already feeling there must be another reason her father would want to do that to himself. "Camila, if you have a child you ignore all her life and when she shows up at your doorstep, you turn her into a house servant. Treating her like she wasn't human and when she got married by fate, you allowed your partner to destroy her marriage, will you be able to bear the shame when the people you adore find out?" he asked. "Well, it is shameful but unless Olivia is dead I don't see why that would be a reason for him to attempt suicide. I agree he messed up but that is
"First Olivia and now Camila. I will be next if I don't leave this place. Crazy family," he said and entered the requested ride heading for the airport. Jonathan arrived at the airport and went through the checking. He was in the waiting area ignoring the multiple calls from his mother and the lawyer. His flight number was called and he decided to send a message to Camila.Dearest sister, I am sorry I chose to leave this way but with everything happening, I don't think I want to stay around any longer. Take good care of yourself and if you get the chance also leave. Trust me, you will be better off on your own than being with our parents. Tell mum, I will call her when I get to my destination. I love you, sis. take care of yourself. He typed and sent it to her. He stood to his feet and looked straight ahead of him as if giving the city one last look. He grabbed his small bag and headed for the plane. He got onboard and sat close to the window. He put his phone on flight mode and pla
"I would love to," Jacqueline replied."We have a wedding to plan," Mrs Carter said with excitement in her voice."Yes we do," Jacqueline said with a smile at the other end of the call.The call ended for both parties and Jacqueline quickly called her father waiting for the driver to pick her up from the agency, where Ethan had dropped her off."Hello sweety," came Mr Green's voice on the other end of the phone."It is done. We are in," she said with a smile."That is good. Let's make the wedding grand. That way we will have the whole world behind you when we strick," he said."Yes Dad, that is perfect. I hope it will be a show because I don't want to marry this guy for real. Hrr," she said making a disgusting face."Really, I thought you liked him," Mr Green asked."Yes, he did attract my attention and I wanted him but he is a home guy," she replied."Home guy? What do you mean?" Mr Green asked."You know, the family-oriented traditional men. With everything I did, I had to drug him
"This can't be right? Why would Mrs Garcia have her daughter kept away and report her missing?" he asked looking at the information before him.He spent his entire night going through one file after another and finally called in an expert to trace the accounts that were used in making the transfer to Camila's account and also for paying the man found dead at the location. The two men sat behind the laptop early hours of the morning working. The man was done and he turned to face the lawyer. "Okay, whoever did this must be very good. Everything traced back to this account as the original account," he said pointing to an account on the screen."Multiple ghost accounts were created behind this account to make the various payments. On the surface, tracing the accounts would bring you to this account making it look like all payments were made from the account with the ghost accounts," he explained. "Don't you think, the real culprit could fake this?" the lawyer asked. "Unless the culpr
"Camila tell me, who sent you that money?" Mrs Garcia asked and Camila went silent alternating her gaze between the lawyer who was looking at her and her mother."What money?" Camila asked wondering why a question would be directed to her suddenly. "A week before you said you were leaving for your new job. If I remember correctly, you mentioned receiving some money from Mrs Carter," Mrs Garcia reminded."Yes, I think so," she acknowledged with a frown retrieving her phone from her bag. She quickly unlocked her screen and checked the notifications on her bank transactions. She found the notification but was surprised to see her mother's name. She scrolled up and down the received messages but none showed she had received anything from Mrs Carter."This is strange?" she commented in shock."What is strange?" the lawyer asked. "I thought I had received some money from Mrs Carter before. A huge amount of money was transferred to my account but I don't see it anymore," she replied. "Me
He went to the reception instead of using his usual exit to the garage and found a man, almost the same age as him. "How may I help you?" he asked with no expression and the man smiled and offered him a handshake with a smile making Ethan frown as he looked at his hand hanging in the air waiting for him to accept. "I am Peter Schmidt," he said with a smile and Ethan furrowed his brow. "Germany?" Ethan said with his head tilted awaiting his confirmation."I am happy you never forgot about me," he replied "Peter, wow. I can believe it," Ethan said and accepted the handshake with a smile and a side hug."You look different," Andrews said."So do you," Ethan replied with a smile taking a step back to look at him. "I was hoping to see your dad again when I finished college so I can take up my role as a guard," he said with a smile."You were serious about that?" Ethan said with a smile recalling when he made the statement as a child. "Yes. I always imagined myself in the black tux
