Before leaving, he felt it wise to come see Ethan.Ethan was at the family house and that was where Darren came to see him. He met Elizabeth first and she was happy to see that a responsible man was there to see Ethan. As at then, she had no idea he was Skyler's doctor. She welcomed him in and went to call Ethan.She came back to the sitting room to meet him."Do you want water? We have some cold water. What do you want?" She asked, concerned.Darren gave her a cheerful smile."I'm okay ma'am. I actually don't intend on staying so long. I just need to see Ethan. I have a flight to catch." He explained."Oh, I see.

• Tickets For The Ceremony
Ethan was just about to walk into his bedroom when he got a phone call from Natasha. Natasha never calls except there was a pressing issue, so he picked up the call immediately."Hello Natasha." He said."There is a problem, a huge problem." Natasha started. "Spill." Ethan said."Sterling's Enterprise is on fire. The whole building." Natasha revealed.Ethan felt his whole body become cold. His mind immediately went to Valerie."Where is Valerie? Was she inside the building? Is she safe?" He asked half yelling at Natasha as if she had caused the fire."I don't think she was." Natasha responded.Ethan opened his closet door to look for a simple shirt to wear because he needed to see Valerie. His brain was in turmoil."Do some more investigations. Find out her exact location. I am on my way." Ethan ordered."Yes sir." Natasha said and hung up the call.Ethan hurriedly wore the shirt and rushed out of the room."What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?" Elizabeth asked on seeing him."Va

• VIP
Renee had a really amused look on her face. There was no way the family would get a regular invite and Valerie who was worthless would have a VIP invite. It was impossible."You would probably wake up some day, Ethan. But I like it. You know....you and Valerie dreaming together. Since you both can't achieve anything in your life, then you should stick to being delusional." Renee said. She gave both of them a quick glance and walked out on them.Valerie groaned and stomped her feet heavily on the floor out of frustration."Calm down." Ethan said, holding her back."Don't touch me!" She screamed at him. "This is your fault. You made me look so stupid, how could you?" She fumed."How? I didn't." Ethan responded calmly."What was all that nonsense about me getting a VIP invite? How is that even possible? I can't even get a regular invite and you chose to embarrass me by saying I'd get a VIP invite? What the hell are you on?" Valerie fumed, with a deep frown on her face."Because I am the

• Dawn Of The Ceremony
Valerie woke up really late and also with a headache. She wondered why no one tried to wake her up. It was 10am already. She rolled off the bed and walked out to the living room where Elizabeth and Skyler were having a discussion. The moment she walked in, they both became quiet."Good morning, Valerie." Skyler greeted."Good morning mother, good morning Skyler." Valerie responded with a small smile."Are you okay, dear?" Elizabeth asked, with a look of concern. She had noticed Valerie's slight unease as she smiled."Yes mother, I'm okay." Valerie responded. She was already having a little outbreak of sweat."Are you sure? You don't look okay." Skyler said. She stood up and walked to Valerie."I have a little headache. I'll be fine." Valerie said."I have some pain relief. Skyler go get her breakfast. She should eat before taking the drugs." Elizabeth instructed. Skyler immediately went to the kitchen to do as she had been told. "Come sit with me, dear." Elizabeth said softly.Valer

He looked at his wristwatch to check the time."Please make welcome to the stage the legion in the person of..." The host said and paused there without calling any name.

Valerie was still shocked. She remembered how Ethan had told her lots of times that he was the legion commander and how she had refused to believe him. It felt like a slap to her face.Ethan was still busy attending to some other things. The Vanguards and the Sterlings had left the venue with their tails in between their legs in shame.Elizabeth and Skyler on the other hand were busy admiring some of the cars still parked there. Valerie had sat down quietly, refusing to speak. They couldn't possibly force her against her will.After everything was seemingly settled, Ethan came to join them where they were all sitting."Mother, are you good?" He asked."I am just surprised, this is unbelievable." Elizabeth replied. Ethan turned to Skyler."How about you?" He asked."I am fine. The person you should be asking these questions is Valerie. She has been in a daze." Skyler responded.Ethan turned to Valerie who sat at the end of the table, looking a little pale."Valerie?" He called as he wa

She was setting up the dining table for breakfast when she heard the doorbell ring. "Mother, are you expecting someone?" She asked. Elizabeth was still in the bedroom so she could not answer Skyler's question. Skyler sighed and walked to the front door. She opened it and saw the least person or people she was expecting to see. Clifford and Renee Sterling."Hi." Renee said with a wide smile, stretching her hand towards Skyler. Skyler frowned, leaving Renee's hand hanging."What is going on here? Don't you think you are in the wrong place?" She asked."Of course not. We definitely are in the right place." Renee added, dropping her hands.Skyler averted her gaze to Clifford who had not said anything."Mayor, is there a problem?" She asked."Not at all, I am just here to see my daughter. I b
