Ethan held Sophia as they walked back to the celebration place.On their way, Sophia looked at Ethan and said with a smile, "You really amazed me, Ethan."Ethan stopped and smiled, asking, "Really? Did I?"Sophia nodded and replied, "Yes, surely you did."Ethan smiled and said, "Then I deserve a kiss for that.”Sophia smiled and kissed his lips. However, as they were kissing, someone walked over, causing them to quickly stop. It was Giselle."I'm sorry for interrupting your moment, Master Ethan," she said, then turned to Sophia and added, "I'm sorry, madam."Sophia smiled, reassuring her, "It's okay, there's nothing to worry about."Giselle continued, "First of all, I want to congratulate you, Master, on your upcoming wedding next Saturday. It's also a pleasure to be working under you.”Ethan smiled and said, "It's okay, Giselle. We've been classmates before, so it's cool."Giselle nodded and inquired, "You mentioned that the wedding will be at the hotel I'm managing."Ethan confirmed,
Immediately they got inside their room, Ethan threw himself on the bed with a smile, radiating happiness.Sophia locked the door and joined him, laying beside him with her head on his chest. Seeing the smile on his face, she asked, "What's going through your head?"Ethan kissed her forehead and said, "A lot. My dream project has finally come true, my secret identity has been publicized, and I'm getting to marry the lady I love soon. And, of course, the biggest part is that you're carrying our child."Sophia nodded and said, "I'm also proud to be by your side, honey. Sometimes I feel the universe planned our first meeting, which has resulted in this relationship of ours."Ethan nodded and said, "Indeed, we were meant for each other." He then took off his suit and shirt, leaving only his singlet, and settled back on the bed.Sophia kept staring at him, prompting him to ask why.She smiled and said, "You know, I won't lie. I was really afraid. Although you told me you were going to handl
"What?" Ethan was shocked. "Sophia, I should give her back her company and take the lawsuit?" He asked.Sophia bit her lower lip and nodded lightly. "Yes, hubby, please."Ethan shook his head and said, "You know that can't work. I can't give her back her company. I've bought it and gotten the highest shares, so everything belongs to me.”Sophia sighed and said, "I understand. I'm not your wife yet after all. I'm not in any position to make such a request. Sorry for asking, hubby." She then got up from the bed, changed into her pajamas quietly, and came to sleep on the bed quietly.Ethan, who was worried, stood up and held her. Sophia looked at him wondering what he was upto. "Get up, please," Ethan said.Sophia nodded and got up, standing down facing him.Ethan pulled her closer, staring into her eyes, his hand around her waist, and said, "Please don't think that I don't value you. You're more important than my business or any amount I have. I can spend everything I have to gain you.
Charlotte, sensing Lily's internal struggle, tried to console her, "Lily, it's not too late to try and fix things. Maybe there's a way to negotiate with Ethan, find some common ground. But you have to stop blaming yourself and focus on finding solutions."However, Lily's thoughts were consumed by bitterness and envy. "Ethan is living the life I could have had. I pushed him away, and now he's thriving without me. Sophia is probably enjoying every bit of it. It's unbearable.”“Lily, there's no need to feel useless or any kind ok?”Lily, in her state of despair, expressed, "I feel so useless, Charlotte. What's the point of living when everything I had, everything I built, is gone? I'm drowning in regret, and I can't see a way out. Ethan has taken away my dignity, my success, and my pride. I'm left with nothing but emptiness."Her words conveyed a deep sense of hopelessness as she contemplated the aftermath of her actions. "I can't face the world now. How will people look at me, knowing I
Charlotte hugged Lily, sharing in her friend's happiness. "Lily, it's never too late to change. I'm here for you, and we'll get through this together. Now, let's focus on rebuilding and making amends. This is a new beginning."Lily looked at Charlotte with gratitude in her eyes. "Charlotte, I can't thank you enough for being such a good friend, especially in my darkest times. Your support means the world to me."Charlotte smiled warmly. "Lily, friends stand by each other through thick and thin. I'm just glad I could be here for you.”Lily took a deep breath before continuing. "Charlotte, I've been thinking. Since I'm getting a second chance with my company, I don't want to go through this alone. I want you by my side. Will you join me as the manager of my company so we can build it together?"Charlotte's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Are you serious, Lily?”Lily nodded sincerely. "Absolutely. I trust you, Charlotte, and I believe with you as my manager, we can make something grea
Getting on the web, they were surprised. On the hot tabs were lots of headlines. The first one said, "The richest man in Aureus has been found," and on the cover was Ethan's nice picture plastered.Another headline read, "Finally, the young anonymous CEO of Aureus has revealed himself.”Yet another headline said, "Business mogul and the world's most powerful businessman, Williams Blackwood, arrives in a jet to congratulate his son, the richest man in Ashville."There was also one saying, "CEO of Aureus, Ethan Nightingale, proposes to his girlfriend Sophia Madison with a $5 million ring," followed by pictures of Ethan on one knee proposing to Sophia.Sophia looked a bit happy as she read some comments from people; they were all positive.“Ethan is truly the king of Aureus!”“Wow, Ethan Nightingale revealed! The business world will never be the same.”“I heard he was even a part-time cleaner, life really has ways of doing things.”“From a part-time cleaner to the richest man in Ashville
The manager nodded and said, "Surely, sir. Is there any specific car you want? We have all cars here, though some are challenging for people due to their prices. But for you, I'm not shaken."Ethan chuckled lightly and replied, "It's for my woman. I need something good for her. Do you have a Lamborghini?”Gasp! The whole place fell into total silence at the mention of the car. A Lamborghini? All eyes widened as they stared at Ethan, including the manager, who himself was a bit stunned. Sophia, too, was somewhat shocked.Ethan snapped his fingers and asked, "Do you have it?"The manager, legs feeling a bit weak, nodded and stammered, "Yes... Yes, we have... only one Lamborghini here. It's the Lamborghini Aventador LP 1:8 'Gold Edition.'”"And how much is that?" Ethan inquired."It's 7.5 million," the manager replied."Cool, I'm buying," Ethan responded instantly.Puff!” Ethans reply shook each and everyone in the room. He responded to buying a $7.5 million vehicle without a blink as if
It was only Sophia who drove home with the Lamborghini, while Ethan told her he was going to meet Victoria and Giselle for the wedding arrangements.Getting home, the whole family was stunned seeing the car, especially Elora."Oh my God, sister now owns a Lamborghini gold. It's very beautiful," she said.Mrs. Madison and Mr. Madison looked at the car and said, "This is cool, which car is that?”Elora cleared her throat and said, "Mom, Dad, this is the Lamborghini, one of the most popular cars in the world."Mrs. Madison also looked at the car again and said, "Sophia, this is very beautiful. Was it bought by Ethan?"Sophia smiled and nodded again, saying, "Yes, this is a gift from Ethan, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 1:8 'Gold Edition' worth 7.5 million dollars.""What?" Sophia's mom screamed in shock. Her dad and Elora's faces also dropped in shock. "$7.5 million? They were all shocked.”Sophia's mom looked at Sophia and said, "Sophia, are you for real?"Sophia didn't say a word. She o
