Thomas glared at Gabriella, fuming.“You have the guts to ask me such a question after rubbing filth on our family name?”Gabriella shut her eyes, fighting the anger that threatened to erupt.“Go home Thomas, before you mess things up!” Gabriella warned him, hoping Ethan wouldn't take her brother's misbehavior to heart.“I'll suggest that for once you listen to the voice of reasoning, go home Thomas!” Ethan warned Thomas as well after observing him for a few seconds.“Hahaha…. scared already?” Thomas guffawed while staring at him disdainfully.“These thugs are nothing like our men, they are the meanest bastards…..”“Ahhhh…..”Suddenly one of the burly men dropped to the ground yelling in pain with blood all over his face.Ethan had moved with lightening speed, slamming him hard against the door.Thomas’s eyes instantly opened wide as they met those of Ethan's.The rest of the burly men drew back in terror. The wailing sound of one of them was enough to cause them to rethink.“What do
Loretta glared at her father in shock, “What? You can't be serious, Dad!”“Dad why are you doing this?” Samantha yelled at Maurice.“I gave your sister a choice but…” “Let me stop you right there, son. It was my decision to give Ethan that position and it was also mine to keep him there, so don't blame the innocent girl for your decision. At least be bold enough to own up to it.” Ian furrowed his brows as he returned to his study.“Grandpa wait!” Samantha yelled as she ran after him, leaving Loretta with Nash and their parents.“Dad, so this is why you sent for me right?” Loretta gritted her teeth, glaring at all three of them before storming out.“Wait! Where are you…” But Loretta was gone before he could finish speaking.“Call Ethan and have him come get her!” Now damn it!” Maurice yelled at Sarah when she hesitated before picking up her phone.Nash on the other hand felt very satisfied as he exchanged glances with Sarah when Maurice wasn't looking.***Ethan was in the middle of a
Ethan and Loretta sat by the the poolside with their feets dangling in the water.The air was slightly chilly as the wind blew past their faces.Ethan ran his fingers through his tussled hair as he stared at Loretta.He could imagine the numerous thoughts that were running through her mind.“With you beside me, it feels so easy to believe everything will be alright,” Loretta finally spoke, staring blankly at the sky.Staring at him made accepting her harsh reality more difficult so she struggled with herself to avoid his gaze.“Everything will be alright. You are not alone you know?” Ethan responded, his gaze still resting on her tear stricken face.He handed her his handkerchief as if just noticing her tear stricken face.“How can it be? When I've just been condemned to a life of sorrow by my own father?” She asked, her eyes instantly becoming watery.She felt like locking herself in her room and crying her eyes out.But she knew Ethan would never let that happen.“No one can do that
Ian slowly beckoned on Samantha as he rook 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 harbouring 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 weather r
"How did you know that?” Nash suddenly asked, frowning.“So you admit to doing so?” Sarah shot back at him.“That fool, Ethan Banks, was here only moments ago and he told me so. Why in God's name did you take the entire file?” Sarah asked angrily.Nash rubbed his chin, “I guess my guy was a little too over zealous with the job but that shouldn't be a problem. It could be anyone that took it. He's got no proof!”Sarah hesitated for a second before responding, “I guess you are right. He must have discovered the missing project nine documents and decided to make it look like he's still got something on me.”“Kudos on the social media post by the way!” Sarah added, smiling.“Hahaha….I thought I make things public. I'm sure that's why the jackass came to try his luck. He's seen that he's got no choice. I bet he's licking his bruised ego as we speak.” Nash chuckled.Sarah smiled deviously, “I hope you are making all the necessary preparations? I want a small but colorful wedding!”Nash grin
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 shopping for

Suddenly his phone buzzed. It was a message from Sarah!Nash frowned, as he read the message.He quickly grabbed his car keys and walked out of the door.Nash raced to the Lopez family estate.And as he tapped on the door, a maid quickly let him in.“What? What is going on here?” Nash chuckled excitedly when he saw his friends and family members including his parents gathered in one of the massive living rooms of the Lopez family.They all appeared just as excited to see him but his question surprised them.“Why do you look so surprised to see us, son?” His father asked.“Didn't you ask us to meet you here for a big surprise?” his mother finished off his father's statement.Nash frowned, suspecting a fowl play from his parents.“Yes Nash, we all got the same message from you,” his friends concurred with his parents.“What do you guys mean? Dad, Mom, weren't you both away on a business trip? So how come you are both here?” Nash asked, chuckling.“Oh, come on, son. Didn't you arrange fo
