Ian slowly beckoned on Samantha as he took her into his arms. “All right, I will speak to your father about it. Please don't cry.” Meanwhile, at Sunrise Villa, Loretta couldn't get over what had happened earlier in the day. “Ethan, please tell me again how you knew that it was going to rain earlier today,” Loretta asked, after harboring the thought in her mind for so long. Ethan had succeeded in getting her to think about other things besides her forced marriage to Nash Barrington. Even though he wished she wouldn't bring up the subject about the rain incident, he still preferred it over her crying her eyes out. “So? How did you know?” Loretta asked again after watching Ethan smile at her question. “I checked the weather report before I told you, although I didn't know it would happen that quickly,” Ethan quickly made up an explanation. He had actually perceived the rain as his senses seemed to be getting even sharper. Loretta furrowed her brows. She hadn't thought about the

Nash and his mother had started shopping in earnest for the wedding. Both mother and son were seen looking through several wedding dresses at a prestigious bridal shop. “Son, what do you think about this one?” Mrs. Barrington asked her son. Since Sarah had given them Loretta's measurements, they knew what would fit her. “I think it would bring out her curves perfectly well!” Nash grinned. Mrs. Barrington laughed loudly, “We will take this!” She announced, gesturing at the wedding dress that Nash had approved of. Meanwhile, at the Lopez family estate, Sarah was seen looking down at Loretta and Samantha. “Shouldn't you be shopping with Nash and his mother for your wedding?” Sarah asked when she saw Loretta and Samantha playing a game of chess. Loretta had decided to take a few days off work since the wedding was just around the corner. She has finally lost the will to fight it anymore, though her attitude towards the arrangement remained the same. “You might as well do the shop

Sarah froze instantly as soon as she heard the sound of her voice coming out of Ethan's phone. Her mind quickly raced back to the day Ethan asked her about the Project Nine documents. She gritted her teeth, “You bastard! You set us up!” Maurice instantly pulled away from her. “What have you done?” He asked her with a pained expression on his face. “Baby….” “Don't you dare!” Maurice yelled at her, cutting her off instantly. “And you! So you were responsible for what happened to our company? And I was about to give my daughter to you?” Maurice gritted his teeth as he spoke to Nash. “Mr. Maurice, do you remember the Project Nine expansion deal?” Ethan suddenly asked Maurice. “Yes, I do, but what has it got to do with anything!” Maurice responded. Ethan smiled as he glared at Nash's parents, “Don’t you both think you've indulged this lunatic you call your son, enough?” Nash's parents froze instantly when they heard Ethan's question. “What….. What did you say to me?” Nash's fath

"I won't take no for an answer, son! The company won't close down because our hardworking head of operations took a week off. I'm sure you have capable hands that could manage things while you are away. Here are your first-class tickets!” Ian quickly cut Ethan off before he could finish speaking. And almost instantly, both Loretta and Samantha walked into the office. “Ahh….there they are. Now, you three should have fun!” Ian smiled as both he and Maurice hugged the girls before leaving. Ethan stared blankly at the plane tickets in his hands and smiled to himself. Both Loretta and Samantha wore dark sunglasses to hide their swollen faces. Their faces had swollen from all the tears they had shed in the two days. Ethan walked towards both ladies and took them both into his arms. They both suddenly began to cry as the pain of Sarah's betrayal still lingered in their hearts. “Perhaps your father and grandfather were right. You both really need some time away from all these. Come on,

Ethan had just finished speaking with Olivia over the phone. He, Loretta, and Samantha had taken a stroll around the neighborhood and were returning when he received the call from Olivia, so the girls went ahead of him. “Hey girls, you both look so gorgeous, why don't you join us over here, we are having a private party,” a young man in his early twenties was seen glaring at Loretta and Samantha. “Thanks but we'll pass!” Samantha simply responded as she brought out the key card to open the apartment's door. “Wrong answer sweetheart,” another fellow stepped out, responding to Samantha's remark. “You must be new here, so I'll permit your response just this once. You see girls, our father owns this beautiful building and as such we own you and everyone else living here, so when we tell you to jump, your response should be ‘How high' got it?” Loretta shook her head, “Since when is that a thing? Your father owns the building, and so what? Like my sister just told you, we are not inter
