The next day. Ethan walked out of his room and walked towards the dining for breakfast. It was the last day of the short vacation. Ethan approached the table and saw Mark already seated. "Good morning brother Ethan." Mark greeted with a slight bow of his head. "Good morning Mark." Ethan replied and ruffled his hair. Then he took a seat beside him and sat."Are you having a great time?" Ethan asked him. Mark turned his head to Ethan and a smiled formed on his young face. "I'm having a lot of fun. Thank you for bringing me on this trip." Mark replied with gratitude and a shine in his eyes. "Don't mention it." Ethan replied Mark. "We're family. As your brother it's my job to take care of you." "Okay.""If there's anytime you have something that you need or you want to leave the orphanage to come stay with me then you just have to let me know." Ethan said again. He had already asked the kids if they wanted to stay with him some time ago. But they had said that they were comfortabl

What would she say?!Maya wanted to smack him in the face. What would she say?May felt that wa a ridiculous question. For how many years, she had had a crush on Ethan even after she realised that he was poor. She finished college and came back and he was married. But even then, her feelings for him would not waver.Now after all her acting and planning and cunning and putting all her effort into making him notice her, he finally asked her out on a date. This wasn't any different than God answering her prayers. It was literally her dream come true!"I-um..." Maya suddenly held herself back from shouting an answer. 'If I say yes just like that he would think I'm probably desperate to go out with him or something...' Maya thought to herself as she eyed him. Ethan was still standing there, his golden pupils perfectly still and his hair blowing softly in the evening breeze. As intimidating as Ethan usually looked, when she looked into his eyes, she couldn't see any intimidation or suppr

Sophia felt like her heart was going to burst from the intensity of the emotions that she was feeling. "Philip...!" She said again. She couldn't find the words to say as her thoughts got chocked up in her head. At this point. Clara had realised that the person who just called Sophia was indeed Philip. She felt an emotional turmoil in her chest. Clara's brain spun into thought rapidly. This call could mean many things at this moment; it was likely that Philip had recovered from his illness and was back. Then he probably heard reports about what was happening to the Walton family and to Sophia specifically. If he had learned that her parents were disowning her, then it might not be too good a situation. Sophia had been the only reason that they came to know Philip in the first place. And given the background of his family, it was very possible that he was the only one who could have them from the mess they were in. A plan quickly formed in Clara's mind. "Let me speak to him." She

Sophia watched as Philip slept like a baby. Then she got up, wore her clothes and stepped out of the room. "Did you do it?" Clara was sitting not too far, watching like a hawk and asking whY had transpired between Sophia and Philip. "Yes." Sophia was disgusted but she responded curtly. The situation had changed in just a few hours. Her parents had been chasing her out and now, they were once again depending on her. "Good." Clara nodded approvingly. "Your father is on his way. I've called him back." She said. Sophia flinched a bit before she calmed down. These past few days had been terrifying for her. She had come to fear her father like a ghost and now the fear was actually almost ingrained in her bones that she had paled at the mention of him returning. But now, things had changed. Sophia was still a proud person in her own right. "I don't care if he comes back or not." Sophia hissed and walked away, leaving her mother dumbfounded. Clara couldn't blame Sophia. She only grit

The next morning, Ethan called Andrew. "Good morning, Young master." Andrew greeted. "Good morning."Ethan twirled the steaming cup of coffee in his hands with a relaxed expression on his face. Andrew waited patiently "Yesterday, you only told me about Philip. What about the Waltons?" He asked. "You want to know about the Waltons sir?" Andrew asked. "Of course." Ethan replied. "I can only know how to respond if I know what has happened already."Andrew heaved with a sigh. He understood that what Ethan was saying was the truth. "Sophia went to your office when you were in vacation." Andrew said. Ethan scoffed. "It's clear what she wants; she wants me to withdraw the case because she made an advertisement of herself."Ethan was referring to the video that Sophia made and posted on the internet. He had told her what she needed to do if she wanted to make him withdraw the case but she did as she wished and expected that Ethan would comply. "Yes, young master." Andrew replied. "Tha
