Chapter 111. Brought back memories

The living room hummed with a hush of anticipation as dad fixed a Stern look at Ethan. I clasped my hand around Ethan as we took in the pressure.Dad cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes.“You promise to take care of my daughter?” Dad asked in a surprisingly harsh tone. I had never heard him speak in such a tone before. I thought he liked him.“Yes mr pierce” Ethan humbly replied without meeting dad's gaze for long, choosing to focus his attention on the floor.“Meet my eyes, young man!” dad sternly blurted out and Ethan moved his face respectfully to meet dad's gaze“This isn't a contract or a young people's sheningans right?” Dad pressed,with sharpened words“Yes, Mr Pierce. I love your daughter and will always love her” Ethan stated and I clung to his arms, my heart fluttering at his earnest words.Dad's lips softened slightly, and the hard line around his eyes eased into something tender. He stood up and walked over to Ethan , secretly gesturing for him to stand up. Then he pu

Chapter 112. Their moments

“He's my son, Jane,” dad's voice raised up a little too loud“And I am your wife” Ma Jane fired back“Since he came, I have suddenly become invincible” Ma Jane said in an emotionally packed tone “Janet I am trying to make up for lost times” Ma Jane then gave a hot and sharp reply.“No pierce, you're robbing it on my face. The fact that I can't have a child for you. You don't treat me like your wife, You treat me like the maid I once was”Footsteps drew closer and I paused, pretending to be only just arriving.Ma Jane walked past me without a word, descending downstairs with an anger filled gravity.I walked inside the room and didn't say a word to dad and dropped the flower at her bedside table. I don't want to intrude. Let them settle the issue on their own.I went back to my room and heaved a sigh of relief as I continued packing. I looked through the window and caught sight of Ma Jane seated in her usual spot in the garden. It took every restraint in me not to rush down stairs an

Chapter 113. Indescribable way

Ethan pulled up a little early. He stepped out and jogged around to my door, letting me in with that half-earnest grin that only shows when he is nervous or excited.He drove straight to the modelling agency. It wore a new look with the building standing tall and gleaming. As I stepped out of the car, the building came into a clearer view. I was in awe of what I was seeing. Ethan said it was a little renovation but this right here is not a little. It was a total look.Ethan snarled up beside me with his perfect grin“Do you like it?” He asked“Ave’s modelling agency” was written boldly for everyone to seeI blinked repeatedly, in lack of proper words. It was breathtaking in a way that made my mouth dry.As I walked in, the details began to reveal itself. There was the reception desk, the lounge, the dressing room that was big enough to accommodate everyone.Ethan trailed behind me with a slight grin on his face as he watched me take in everything that was presented.My breath gathered

Chapter 114. My fiancée

Ethan, I will like to come back to the eclipse enterprise and work in the marketing department,” I said as earlier rehearsed.I slowly slid into the duvet and moved closer to him, while cupping his face into my hands in a bid to soften his gazeHe looked to be in deep thoughts“No!” He said and I squinted, stunned by the bluntnessHe had never said ‘no’ to me before and it made my chest tight“Ethan..” I pressed on, calling him softly but he remained unfazed.“When you left, the marketing team fell apart. I want to make sure you don't leave the same way you did. So Miss Pierce, you just have to sign a legal document to ascertain that.I tried too hard to soften his heart, all effort proved futile as if he knew what I was trying to say.In that moment, it dawned on me that the man I know as a fiancee is a different person from the boss I have to answer to and when I saw an unyielding side of Ethan towards me, we decided to sign the document.Ethan Scrolled through his phone and sent a

Chapter 115. Reputation

The next day, the board room of Eclipse enterprise hummed with barely contained tension. Shareholders filled the long table as the meeting kicked off abruptly with no pleasantries.“Mr Blackwood, we saw a video of you and this lady in a romantic setting” he said, pointing at me“Is that really you?”Ethan kept quiet for a while and lifted his face“Yes, that was me”“With this you will have to step down as the CEO of Eclipse Enterprise” another shareholder concluded as if the matter was already sealedAn unexplained silence enveloped the place as Ethan sat with his face down“Isn't he going to say anything?” I said to myself with my heart pounding in my chest. “Why?” Ethan said as he lifted his head slowly.The shareholders' faces creased a little surprise as each of them exchanged glances with the other. Maybe they weren't expecting a push back from EthanMaybe they weren't expecting a push back from him as they thought they had the upper hand.“Why should I step down

There you are!

Lucas voice broke through the moment, bringing a smile to our faces“Look at those lovebirds” he exclaimed as he clapped his hands.Ethan turned to Lucas, giving him a playful snide look that made me stifle a giggle. It was as if Lucas had flipped a switch, he went from talking to silence in a heartbeat, but I could see the corners of his mouth twitching as he tried to hold back laughter.And then, just like that, the tension melted away, and we all burst into light hearted laughter. Somehow, Ethan's voice rang out the loudest, it was unexpected given the serious aura he had exuded in the meeting earlier.“Lucas” Ethan called out“Thank you for keeping everything running smoothly while we were away. I really appreciate”Lucas shrugged it off with a modest smile on his lips.“Am just glad everything is back to normal. It means I can finally go back to Harrison's group” he said and Ethan nodded in agreement.“There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you” Racheal exclaimed, her ey

Chapter 117. Fiancée era

“Speaking of Emily, where is she? Haven't seen her since I came” I asked in a playful tone “You won't believe what happened with Emily when you left” Racheal began“She showed up in a Seductive dress and practically strutted into boss Ethan's office like she was you”I raised an eyebrow as my eyes widened in disbelief. I was speechless and intrigued but not surprisedRacheal continued…“I peeked through the door and saw that Ethan didn't even give her a second glance! It was like she was invincible to him”Racheal paused as if reading my expression“Boss Ethan’s disinterest didn't stop her. She moved closer and actually tried to touch him, and you know what? Boss Ethan pushed her away aggressively" “I was shocked” Racheal exclaimed“Wow!” I said, with a hint of pride in Ethan's action.Racheal rolled her eyes and continued, leaving me thrilled by her detailed explanation “And then it got even crazier. Emily had the audacity to say to him ‘avery left but I'll make a good woman for y

Chapter 118. Second opinion

“And they never got the opportunity to take them back” grandma peller concluded her storyJosh and I exchanged glances as we clapped enthusiastically, appreciating her captivating story.“That was incredible, grandma peller” I said and Josh nodded in agreement, leaning forward in his seat“Grandma, what do you think? Did the characters learn from their mistakes” Josh asked Just as grandma peller opened her mouth to respond, a sudden cough erupted from her, interrupting the moment.At first we both thought it was a minor cough. But then, it intensified“Grandma” Josh rushed closer in concern“Are you okay?” But there was no response, her eyes were squeezed shot and she continued to cough without pausePanic set in as I jumped up from my seat, rushing to her side. Josh and I maneuvered her into a more comfortable position, trying to ease her stress inside the house.After what felt like eternity, grandma Peller was finally stabilized and her breathing slowed down. It came to Josh like

Chapter 118. Striking resemblance

At the mansion, we were all seated around the dinning table for breakfast.“I've been thinking about expanding,” Michael said, interrupting the silence of the moment.Ethan paused and leaned in, looking intrigued. The two of them quickly fell into a conversation that felt exclusive, as if the rest of us were invincible.“It's great you finally achieved your childhood dream of becoming a doctor.” Ethan said“And you've always wanted to be a businessman “ Micheal said and Ethan nodded, with a smile breaking through his face“I guess we both got what we wanted” Ethan concluded“And an extra addition to it” Micheal said as I watched him point at me.As breakfast continued, Micheal looked contemplative and he paused mid meal.“You know I've been thinking. I want to begin a search for my dad” Micheal said, with a steady voice.I listened to their conversation but then my gaze drifted To Micheal, Ethan and Lucas. I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance between them. It was uncan

Chapter 120. Palpable tension

As I finished getting ready, I made my way downstairs to join Ethan whom I assumed was already waiting for me.But as I descended the stairs, I heard Ethan's voice from one of the rooms. I paused for a moment, contemplating whether to ignore. But my curiosity got the better if me.Ethan's voice was raised slightly in an exasperated tone.“You can't just accept gift from another man like that” he chided“It makes me uncomfortable” Ethan added and i could almost picture the scene that was unfolding “Ethan it's just a gesture of kindness” Catherine replied in a serious tone “You don't need to worry so much about me”“Mom, you promised” Ethan said with a firm voice“It's been a long time, Ethan. I'm human. I need companionship” Catherine blurted out in frustration “I’ve got needs too”“Mom,” Ethan said, trying to calm her down.But Catherine’s voice bubbled even more and she lashed out raising her voice.“I have preserved your father's memory for too long. It's like am expected to liv
