Ethan frowned, "a word with me? Is anything problem?"Ethan tried to wrap his mind around what reason his mother in law would come all the way to their house to have a word with him. He arrived at only one answer. He confirmed it soon."Yes." Victoria snarled, "You are the problem.Her eyes darted around as if looking to appropriately check if no one is looming in the corners. 'This discussion. I need it to be private between us. Infact, there's no need for Isabel to know I came around today.'. 'She will be pissed, mother in law when she finds out about it later''She will never find out about it. I wasn't also asking your opinion when I said she mustn't know about it. it's an order and I expect you to abide by it''I understand' 'Great!' she commended spitefully.Victoria tossed a brown sealed envelope at him. It landed on the tiled grounds with a loud echo 'Sign it''What are they?''The Divorce Papers.''I'm afraid I can't do that''"How much will it take you to leave my daught

The next day, Ethan felt long slender fingers tapping him awake. He sat up ,rubbing his eyes groggily."Yes?" He asked as Isabel's face cancer to view, "Is anything wrong?""Mother has requested for our presence. What did you do this time?" Isabel asked, worry etching on her features. "I don't understand. I did not do anything wrong. ""We're supposed to be avoiding the family as much as we can, if they find out we lied about the pregnancy, things will be really bad.""I have not done anything wrong." Ethan repeated in a firm voice."Yesterday," Isabel folder her arms and stared down at her husband, "Yesterday, you went out didn't you?"Ethan collapsed back to the bed with a sigh. "I'm talking to you Ethan?""I went for lunch with Ruby's grandfather and came back home immediately. "Isabel pursed her lips together like she was going to say something, then she chirped, "Okay." Giving him a half shrug.Ethan frowned at her in surprise, "Okay?"She wasn't going to say anything more

****Time went by fast and the clock struck six pm quickly. Luka stared at the tray of food on the kitchen counter one last time, silently praying this would be perfect and the family wouldn't throw cuss words once they taste it. He pulled off the apron, heaved a heavy sigh, picked up the tray of food and wore a small smile. He approached the dining hall in too slow movements, unaware of the person following behind. Luka could swear the body bumped into him intentionally.'Oops... Try walk faster next time' Mae alluded, humming past him.He quickly apologized. 'I'm sorry, miss'Luka followed behind slowly till they reached the dining room.. Like they were all seated this afternoon, they were also complete at dinner today. This fact didn't make Luka feel any better. Are they inviting him to the table so they can mock him as they enjoy their meals? ..The hall was large enough to accommodate a number of fifty. A long mahogany table laid in its center, alongside a number of chairs, tuc

Vanders and his crew were ambushed in their hide out by new men. He knew what they came for. On whose orders they were here. Vanders cussed under his breath. They needed a little more time. Just little. Their last search around the river had brought a clue. One that would lead them to the Belinskys boy child, whether dead or alive.If could they could give him forty-eight more hours, he'd provide the Belinsky boy rotting corpse wherever it was."You know why we are here?" One of them asked. Vanders nodded. It was too easy to guess. They were here to punish him and his men.'They said to take only ten of your men.' the one who Vanders guessed to be the leader of the strange group announced.Kill ten of my men? Vanders eyes widened in shock. 'Tell them to give us more time to find the Belinsky boy' Vanders responded. For six hours, he consistently has been trying to get the higher ups to talk, to negotiate with them. He made no progress at all. They simply neglected him. All of the

Weeks LaterTwo Weeks earlier, Luka Petrovic's life had taken an unexpected turm for absolute good. For the first time in his entire existence, he felt like he belonged here, he had a man who stood as his father figure. It all happened too fast. Too Quick. No one would have seen it coming.The men has made arrangements to take him home as soon as the doctors confirmed he was ready to go. He had been brought to the Vanderbilt's home. The building lay out was nothing like the Pammad's mamsion. Luka had concluded that the Pammad's mansion was too exaggerated, his new home was beyond that. The Vanderbilt's Manor looked like an estate on its own. It had different areas. Garage, a private pool, private bar rooms, gymnasium, private cinema house, garden. Every goddamn thing! It was that huge.Maids and guards were stationed everywhere. Expensive furnitures, art works, chandeliers, decorated every room in the buildings. This mini estate has everything a trilliomiare's house could possess.'
