The sound of my phone ringing jarred me out of sleep. I shrugged out of bed, reaching for my phone to see who the caller was.

Seeing that it was my secretary calling, I pushed the phone aside hoping to catch a few more hours of rest. But the call was persistent, interrupting my sound sleep.

I had told my secretary the previous night that I won’t be back at the office until the next two days. I had attended to all pending requests and approval and told her to sort the rest in my absence.

The thoughts of Emilia getting married to Lucas had kept me awake all night and I just finally fell asleep a few hours before the call came in.

I had warned her if I didn’t pick her calls after calling twice then she should send a mail. The fact that the call was persistent, it means it must be urgent because her job would be on the line if it isn’t .

I finally reached for my phone from the bed side drawer, shrugging off the remnants of sleep I had left.

“Good morning Mr. Ethan, I’m so sorry

  • Entangled With My Soon-to-be Brother-in-law    Chapter 61: Rifts and Rancor

    “Do your worst Ethan, I’m not scared of you”. I bluffed, my lips curled up in a smirk, with my jaw stiffened as we stood side by side. “Oh really?” He chuckled dryly. “You should know me by now, that I don’t carelessly throw my words around”. “We shall see about that”. He muttered, a snarling smile spread across his face as he turned carefully on his heel. “When will this enmity between you both stop?”“I don’t know what I have done to deserve this”. My mother wailed, throwing herself to the sofa in despair. “Bring it on Ethan, I dare you”. I fired at him, grunting and pacing angrily, my steps tracing a straight path. Just as Ethan was approaching the entrance to head out of the house, Ashley walked in. She paused her movement abruptly upon seeing Ethan, her eyes roaming all over him in shock, with her mouth aghast as she watched Ethan leave. “I blame you”, my mother faced my father, tears tickled from the corner of her eye socket. “You blame me? What have I done

    “What?”My words got caught in my throat, my feet transfixed to the spot as I watched Emilia walk out on me. Shock washed over me like iced waves at the sight of how bold she had become. From the moment she pointed a knife in my face the other day, I should have known she had grown wings. What changed? What gave her the nerves to flout my instructions? Definitely, she had something up her sleeves.My eyes darkened with evil, my mind sketching and searching for answers. Ethan must have brainwashed her into this. I stood still watching, till her presence faded into the shadows. “Tch Tch,” I clicked my tongue against my teeth, my toes voluntarily stomping the ground. “I will get you, marry you, get my inheritance and divorce your silly ass”. My lips curled in a smirk as I muttered beneath my breath, my blood boiling hot with desperation. Just as I turned my heel towards the stairs to go get a bottle of Jameson’s Whiskey, the maid appeared at the edge of the stairs

    “Welcome to Vida Café” The doorman pushed open the door, gesturing for me to enter, his face etched with a welcoming smile as he greeted.As I walked in, a sense of unease settled in my chest, a dull ache that lingered.The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the lavender scents, did little to calm the unsettling feeling that pulsed my nerves.Was it the guilt of how Emilia will take the news that I was pregnant with Lucas’s child?Or was it about how the family dynamics would change? I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly it was, but this unsettling feeling wore heavy on my shoulders like a truckload. I suddenly paused my steps in the middle of the café, eyes shut tightly as moments with Lucas flooded my imaginations, silencing the wave of unease that had caged my mind.My excitement returned, eyes snapped open with a malicious grin spread across my face.Lucas is the man of dreams. The man I want to wake up to every morning. “Lucas is mine”, I muttered beneath my breath, my t

    On getting back downstairs, my head began to spin, a wave of dizziness enveloped me. I leaned against the wooden banister to steady myself from falling.I needed to get to the pharmacy next minute, but in this state, driving myself there was far from being an option. I grudgingly swiped open my purse zipper, to get my phone to book a taxi. “Cling cling”, my phone chimed, my patience wearing thin with every second it took before the taxi driver picked. “Hello ma’am, where……”“Rite Aid Pharmacy, Wilshire Boulevard”. I impatiently cut in, stopping the driver’s words. “Oh, alright, will be there in 2 minutes.”I was already walking towards the entrance when the call ended. As I was about to take the final step out of the house, a voice called out from a distance, which halted my movement. “Ashley!”My mother yelled. “Shitt”, I froze, anxiety pulsating my veins. “Not now please”, I stood still shutting my eyelids, my brows furrowed in a scowl. “Ashley!”She calle

    I swiveled my chair around, my gaze met with Donald’s elated face, a bright smile screeching from his eyes, revealing his sparse and irregular dentition.“You know you’re one of my efficient and loyal staff”. I cooed, my right index finger pointed at him in satisfaction, an impressive grin worn on my face. Donald stood still, his arms swung behind him, folded and pressed against the center of his lower back, just above the hip, his head nodding in agreement. “Despite the recent happenings here at the office, you’ve stayed true to me.”I continued, my elbows resting on the armrest of my chair, my hands upright with my fingers intertwined as I acknowledged his commitment. “You just got yourself a salary raise, which will be made effective by the end of this month”. “Oh my goodness”, Donald’s hand flung to his face, his mouth covered in his palm in surprise. “Thank you so much Sir”. “Thank you”, he uttered, appreciating my kind gesture.“You may leave now”, I instructed,

    “Yes? Why are you blowing up my phone?” “Why the fuck are you calling me?” I snorted, my face twisted in a scowl, my brows furrowed. “Ma’am, I haven’t gotten any feedback from you since the operation was executed”. Ryder uttered, his tone low and husky. “You idiot”. I spat, my voice rising. “You had just one…” I paused, my eyes glanced through the kitchen, just to be sure no one was eavesdropping. “You had just one job Ryder”, I whispered, holding my phone really close my mouth. “Just to get rid of him and you screwed it up Ryder”. I stopped my words, then walked towards the door that led into the kitchen. I peeped my head out of the door, my eyes making a quick glance at the living room. Then I stepped back into the kitchen. “You’re fully aware that it’s because you came highly recommended.” “That’s why I hired you for this job”. “But you disappointed me, dimwit”. I smirked, my face glammed with disgust. “How do you mean ma’am” He asked, his v
