“I just have three months to live, and I’ve been trying to tell you but,” Ethan paused, took a deep breath and continued. “But, you’ve been so engrossed with this inheritance of a thing,” he concluded, staring at the shock on his wife and daughter’s faces. Elena wasn’t very moved but Ariana was perplexed and her heart was starting to pound. “How can you keep that away from us, dad; what the hell?” The concern and worry on Ariana’s face showed that she still loved and wanted her dad so much. “I didn’t keep it from you, at first; I didn’t want any of you to panic so I delayed the news, but when I decided to share it, you just wouldn’t let me, but now you know. I have lung cancer and would probably die in the next three months as estimated by my doctor,” Ethan clarified, focusing his gaze on his daughter alone. “That doesn’t change the fact that I won’t still continue the filing of our divorce, you’ve shown me that you do not love me anymore Ethan. By refusing to do what I told you.
“One of the guards signified to Amelia, suggesting that she whined down her window. Amelia felt a little embarrassed as she did, Sam really employed these guys and they were working in a villa such as this, does this mean Sam owned the place? It was too early to jump to conclusions. When the first guard saw her, he almost laughed but he remained composed and spoke instead, but still he couldn’t wipe off the little smile that had crept to his face the instant he saw Amelia. “Is the boss expecting you?” “Who is the boss?” Amelia raised her brow, this was her chance to confirm some things. The guard looked at her in genuine confusion; had Amelia come all the way to the villa without knowing who owned the property or she still believed it wasn’t Sam’s? “Who do you want to see, ma’am?” The guard asked again, his face now entirely covered with a serious expression. “Now you’re asking the right question. I’m here to see Samuel Jonathan,” Amelia smiled, tapping a finger on the steerin
Sam scoffed, looking at Amelia with a joking smile. The shock on Charity’s face was so obvious, how could that even be? After all these while and things that had happened? “I ain’t here for jokes, Amelia, I’ve got an appointment soon,-“ “Oh! You really think I’d come all the way down here just to joke with you? Aren’t you surprised how I even got to know this place?” Amelia interrupted him, standing from where she sat. The joking smile slowly disappeared from Sam’s face, Amelia wasn’t joking around, he could see it in her eyes; but her words seemed like she had come to tease him. There was no way she could be carrying his child.“Ben gave me this address, I’ve got a lot of questions but, I just want to let you know that I’m carrying your child.” Amelia continued with a little frown on her face. Laura heaved a sigh, Amelia never listens; she had told her that the talking would be handled by her, but Amelia had forgotten all about that. “How’s that even possible, it’s been over a
Sam removed his hands from his face when he heard Emily and Amelia calling each other names? What was going on? “Why’s mum…what’s going on here?” Emily walked slowly down to where Amelia and her mother stood. Her face filled with confusion and worry, the red head was looking so remarkably beautiful; she was putting on a wonderful red cape dress, making her look like the queen of England. “I should be asking you the same question; what are you doing here?” Amelia responded, gazing at Emily in surprise; it shouldn’t be what she was thinking. “Now, I’m getting really confused,” Laura heaved a sigh, rolling her eyes. She sat down on the sofa as she was strained from standing for too long. Emily paused for a second and shifted her gaze to Sam, who looked stunned at all what was going on; she had come to his house for the preparations of the promises he had made to her, who would have thought she would meet her sister here. “Sam is my boyfriend, Amelia.” Emily returned her gaze to Ame
No one responded to Laura, they were all engrossed in the present situation, especially Emily. She didn’t know why Laura and Emily were really at Sam’s house. If Amelia was his ex, what was she doing here exactly? But that wasn’t the most important thing at the moment. “Sam, is there something you’re not telling me?” Emily moved closer to him, looking straight into his blue eyes. She didn’t really blame Sam, they just started dating and she hadn’t known him long; so if he had secrets, it was somewhat normal; but this kind was different. Sam was the son of Ethan Cole, the richest man in Los Angeles, how was he wretched in school? Something was wrong about Amelia’s story, but the fact that Sam wasn’t objecting means it might be true. Sam heaved a sigh, he couldn’t waive Emily off, he loved her too much to do that; he actually knew he was going to tell her this story one day, but he never imagined he would be telling Emily and Amelia together. “There’s something I haven’t told you
“They have no proof that it’s mine, Emily,” Sam quickly chipped in, looking at Amelia sternly. Sam knew what she was trying to do, he just hoped Amelia hadn’t figured that he was overly obsessed with her sister. “The child isn’t for my boyfriend, and I didn’t sleep with anyone except the two of them-,” “You expect me to believe a woman that was lying to me while she was sleeping with another man, the child isn’t mine Amelia until you prove to me that it's mine, I won’t accept it; take another test!” Sam snapped again, interrupting Amelia. Anything that would make Emily think twice about their current relationship, he didn’t want it. Emily was lost, this was the worst one yet; what if the child eventually belongs to Sam after the test he’s demanding for is done. What had she gotten herself into, she had this little doubt about this relationship, but Sam’s presence the other night had overwhelmed her. “When we do another test, and the result comes positive, what happens then? Sam,
“What the heck were you thinking, Amelia, I said I would handle the talking and you just totally forgot about me,” Laura kept lamenting inside the vehicle, while Amelia drove in silence, a horrific frown glued to her face. “I’m talking to you, Amelia, what else did we go to Sam for, if not to hand over the baby to him when it’s born?” “Stop talking mum, I’m trying to concentrate on driving here, or do you wish to get hit by a bus?” Amelia grumbled, glaring at her mother. She was dissatisfied and disappointed, this wasn’t what she wanted; she’d have to call Emily once she settled down at home; but first, she needed to reach out to Derek. “Are you yelling at your mother? What has come over you, Amelia?” Laura spoke the words one after the other with so much emphasis, looking at her daughter as if she was a stranger. Amelia remained silent, her mum was a dramatic woman, that was why she didn’t respond the whole while. “Oh, I get it. You’re angry because the man you dumped is now da
Charity seemed confused at first, if she could, she would have asked Sam what the heck he was saying but she couldn’t. His he finally trying to sack her or what? “Don’t panic, I’m changing your position not removing you totally,” Sam added when he saw the look on Charity’s face. Emily didn’t really like the idea, taking someone else’s job just because of her was somewhat offensive but the fact that it was being replaced by hers didn’t make her fuss too much about it. However, she wasn’t so sure if Charity would genuinely give up that position. “What!….why…I don’t understand, have I done something wrong?” Charity broke her curiosity, stammering as she spoke. She hated this situation from the very bottom of her heart. “Of course not, you’ve been a good personal assistant, it’s just that; Emily here needs that position, why you take over hers. You don’t have to worry, you’ll earn what she earns and all the benefits she gets as the secretary to the CEO of Ethan’s corporation.” Sam co
