THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Trouble Looms
The doctor gasped when Elena burst in, he was so frightened that he fidgeted and all his medical tools fell off the bed. He sighed when he saw that it was Elena and started packing up his tools again. Even though he hadn’t seen her for a while, he knew who she was. “Why are you in such haste? And what are you doing in LA?” Ethan landed two questions for his wife who was still panting. She ran all the way to his room as she just got back from the airport; Elena wasn’t in the state. She was enjoying a nice vacation in Miami but decided to rush back because of what she had heard. “I should be the one asking you what you’re doing, Ethan,” Elena growled, as she tried to catch her breath. She was wearing a green flowery gown that was meant to be worn in the summer at the beach, it was the first dress she saw while she was rushing to get on the plane back to LA. Elena was Ethan’s wife, the woman his dad had forced him to marry after Helen’s death. However, he grew to love Elena, but he
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE What Real Brothers Wouldn’t Do!!
You might have been wondering why Joseph and Ethan have different last names, well that’s because they’re not from the same father, but the same mother. But the two loved each other just like normal brothers and didn’t allow their differences to come into their relationship. However, Ethan’s father refused to give any of his property to Joseph and Joseph didn’t really mind, because he was okay and content with what he had. However, Joseph and Ethan’s bond grew so tight that they didn’t see themselves as stepbrothers anymore but as normal ones; which was why Ethan entrusted him with Sam because he trusted him so much. Joseph, on the other hand, decided to grant Ethan’s wishes; and took Sam like his own son raising him like he wasn’t a wealthy child. Hearing that Joseph told Elena about Sam was unbelievable, it couldn’t be; there was no way. Ethan’s thought had rested solely on Clinton Wells, but Elena's reveal shocked him to the brim. He jumped off the bed and walked out of the
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Twenty Five-year-old Secret
“What?” Ethan's eyes popped wide. He glanced at Elena in shock, how could she have done such a thing just to get information from Jonathan? When did his wife become this violent? “Elena had suspected us for a long time, Ethan. She knew we were hiding something from her. Our secret conversations and everything, she even had us bugged once. I told her about Sam to save my own life,” “She pulled the trigger next to my ear to make me talk, she would have blown off my head if I hadn’t.” Jonathan narrated his experience, staring at no one in particular. He couldn’t look at Elena’s eyes, he was safe now that he had revealed the truth to both Clinton and Ethan, if anything happened to him; Elena would be the first suspect. “But, Elena was in Miami?” Ethan was still very much confused about the whole thing. How could this have happened without him even noticing? Elena covered her face with her right hand, now that her secret was blown; it doesn’t really matter, she was still going to g

Everyone in the room gazed at Sam in silence as he walked in, they weren’t surprised; they just weren’t expecting him at all.Only one person was a little stunned at the man who just walked in, and it was Elena, she knew at once who the man was; he looked so much like the young Ethan. Sam paused and glanced around the room, his bright smile slowly disappearing from his face. Something was definitely going on in this room, he thought. “What’s going on?” Sam stared at Ethan with curiosity. The woman sitting close to Jonathan had an angry expression on her face even though she didn’t know it. Jonathan wasn’t smiling at all, and his father looked so worried. What could have happened? Sam kept thinking. “You came at the right time, son. I was just telling my wife about you, she would be your stepmom as from now,” Ethan managed a smile, but it couldn’t cover up his worry.“I won’t be a stepmother to a bastard, Ethan, not until you do what I want,” Elena growled, she wasn’t even concerne

The lady also went down with Sam to gather her fallen provisions and other stuff. She would have yelled if not for the three men that were coming behind Sam. Sam guards wanted to help with the lady’s stuff but he waved them off, as he focused on the lady’s driver’s license for a while, while picking the other things involuntarily into her bag. The license was the last thing he took, and they both stood upright simultaneously. “I’m so sorry, didn’t see you coming,” Sam handed over the driving license to the lady. He couldn’t be hallucinating, he saw it clearly and she was looking a lot like Elena, the woman who had just made him angry today. “It’s fine, I wasn't really looking where I was going either,” Ariana lied, smiling sheepishly at Sam. He was hot, she had never seen such a young hot man with guards and a woman who was probably his secretary or something, she thought. “It’s my first time in the mall, so I was just taking in the beauty of the place,” Sam faked a small smile
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Charity’s Outburst
Emily pretended to be looking at one of the shoes, she didn’t want Sam to see her face or his eyes meeting with hers. As she thought about his question, she had nothing to do that evening, but going on a date with Sam could trigger what she was trying to avoid now that she was his secretary. However, rejecting him would also seem awkward and uncomfortable. It wasn’t as if she didn’t like Sam, if he wasn’t her boss; she wouldn’t even think twice on the question. Emily knew Sam would have thought about it too, that having an affair with his secretary was unprofessional; maybe he had let his emotions take over, and Emily wasn’t really ready to give in.Not so soon. “I… I think I do, yeah,” Emily took one of the shoes and faced Sam, but she wasn’t staring at him, she was pretending to admire the shoe. “You think?” Sam was starting to feel impatient. He wanted Emily, and he wanted her fast. Although he wasn’t going to rush into the relationship, he just wanted to let her know his int
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Charity’s Confession
She didn’t read his mind, it wasn’t Ariana she was talking about but Emily, but why? Sam thought. “And you think I haven’t thought of that?” Sam scoffed, staring back at Charity from the rear view mirror also. He would have gotten upset if not that it was Charity, somehow; the main reason he brought her was starting to become irrelevant, now that everything about Emily has crowded his mind. Charity’s heart skipped a beat, she shifted her gaze to the road, she shouldn’t have said anything, but she just couldn’t sit and watch all these things happen, why she suffers in silence. “I’m sure you would have, but you might not be seeing the real consequence because your emotions would have clouded your judgment,” Charity managed to say these words with her eyes glued on the road. She had lit a fire, now she must stand around it till it burns out. “You’re my personal assistant, Charity; not my therapist,” Sam laughed lightly, he was trying to take it as a joke. Why does Charity care exa
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Living with Rejection
The silence had been longer than a minute, before Sam finally broke it. He was totally lost for words, but he had to say something; “It’s too late, Charity. Why didn’t you tell me this the first day I hired you?” Sam questioned, his hand covering his face. If he wanted to behave like the wealthy unconcerned billionaire that he was, he would have just discarded Charity’s feelings, but he respected the fact that she had loved him long before he became rich. “I was scared….I was scared to lose both you and the job,” Charity stuttered, sounding like she was about to cry. “You should have told me,” Sam persisted, his face still covered with his hands; he didn’t want to tell Charity that he was infatuated with her the very first day he saw her at the fair. Emily had taken all his ability to love someone else, even though she hadn’t agreed yet. But he had fallen in love with her faster than he did with Amelia. “I know, but I didn’t; and I keep feeling so awful anytime you talk to women

An unusual End
Ariana stood outside the hospital, ever since she called Derek, she hadn’t gone back inside. She wanted to be the first one o recieve him, she had to try and stop Derek from doing any harm to Sam, she knew he was going to blame him for everything that happened to both Elena and Ethan. Even though a part of it was his fault too. An ambulance arrived the hospital, but it sound didn’t jolt Ariana from her thoughts, she kept on going forward and backwards on the open area in front of the big hospital. “Stay with us, sir…stay with us.” The words were loud and demanding and it got Ariana to stare at the person who was saying it. Just as she looked behind her shoulders, her eyes fell on the man who was lying on the moving stretcher, it was Derek! Ariana didn’t know when she started running towards the stretcher, tears streaming down her eyes at will. What the hell happened? What’s going on in her miserable life? These unanswered questions hit her hard, it was as if her heart would rip o

And there was Darkness
Immediately Ariana reported the news to Derek, she heard a beeping sound that indicated that the receiver had hung up. She fell down on her knees outside the hospital and continued crying her eyes out, somewhere deep inside her heart; she prayed that the news hadn’t affected Derek in anyway.***The cell phone dropped from Derek’s hand and landed on the marble floor of his sitting room, the glass of whiskey he was holding in his left also fell off his grip and shattered on the floor, causing Amelia to rush out of the kitchen that was close to the sitting room. His eyes were wide and filled with uttermost despair, he couldn’t describe what he was feeling at the moment, he heard what Ariana said clearly, he had an hunch something was wrong that was why he picked up the call immediately. Ever since he joined his mother to get the inheritance off Sam, Ariana hadn’t called him in awhile. Amelia hurried out of the kitchen, rushing into the room; she had a shocking expression on her face

The Share of Guilt
Sam felt a double blow to his heart, in the midst of all these tribulations, Derek was coming for him. It wasn’t as if he didn’t expect it, he was somehow responsible for thier mother’s death, and Derek who has forever hated him would always believe he was the cause of Elena’s death. “Although I’ve spoken to him about not doing something stupid, but I’m not really sure he’s going to heed to my advise, which is the reason I’m telling you.” Clinton continued, staring at Sam closely. It was now somewhat his responsibility to take care of Sam, now that Ethan was in the brink of death, but he kept praying in his heart for God to give Ethan few more months. “What do you mean Derek is coming for him?” Ariana who had been listening for awhile chipped in, sniffing and staring suprisedly at Clinton. “You and Ethan are the only people who would believe the story about Elena’s death, Derek will not; and I’m sure you know why,” Clinton responded. Sam was still silent and confused as fear stre

Emergency
Sam pulled up from the embrace and stared at his fiancée with so much affection in his blue eyes. Emily’s eyes widened and her smile brightened, she was pregnant for Sam, just when her step sister aborted his child. It seemed the child reincarnated or something. “Are…are you for real?” The surprise and joy was so obvious on her expression, she hadn’t felt this much joy before, despite the fact that she just escaped death narrowly. How situations can change in a split of a second. “The doctor just told me now, the baby’s safe and I’m mostly glad that you’re also,” Sam revealed, he was almost starting to tear up now. “Oh gosh, I’m so so happy… can’t believe this is happening, Sam.” Emily’s voice sounded like she’d burst into tears soon. “It is happening, Em, you’re going to be a mum and I would be a dad, even though we just experienced the most traumatic experience of our lives, this news has brought so much joy, enough to overwhelm our sadness,” Sam narrated, staring at Emily wit

The Pinnacle of Pain
“Talk to me, Ariana, what is it you want to tell me?” Ethan climbed off the bed and rushed towards Ariana, holding her hands. He was surprised at her sudden burst in tears, what could have gone wrong, his heart started to pound abnormally in an instant. “I don’t know how to say this, but, promise me that you wouldn’t be affected by this news,” Ariana cried, even though she had mentioned the first two words, Ethan hadn’t grabbed what she wanted to talk about. He was still totally in the dark. Ethan looked at her confusedly, she was making him more scared and his heartbeat continued to move up drastically. He couldn’t promise such a thing, because he had no idea what she wanted to reveal to him and with all of this fuss, it was certain that it was something negative. “What’s going on, Ariana? You’re making me anxious already, just spill the beans,” Ethan's patience wouldn’t last long, has he held Ariana's hands, he was staring into her teary eyes and it was breaking his heart. But

Difficult Words
Sam’s mouth fell open, but no words came out. He was totally unaware of that, especially in this kind of situation, who would have thought that Emily was pregnant. “The baby’s fine, even after the drugs and stress she went through, it’s actually a miracle somewhat,” the doctor continued, smiling broadly, oblivious to what was going on in Sam’s head. Sam still remained shocked and mute, Emily was pregnant for him, God was really working miracles, just when Amelia had gone and aborted his child, then came another one. “Mr. Sam…. Mr. Samuel, are you okay?” The doctor was suddenly concerned about Sam's silence and shocked expression. Sam nodded positively without uttering any words, his eyes still popped wide. “Why is it so surprising to hear that your wife’s pregnant, actually I thought you’d tell me you know already,” the doctor was starting to get confused with Sam’s reactions and response to the news he just delivered. “You… oh God, you wouldn’t understand, doc. But I’m so glad

The Beginning of the End
Jonathan who was already scared because of his present predicament, and wasn’t concentrating on the conversation was overwhelmingly shocked by what he just heard Clinton say. Dead? How’s that even possible? He thought, Jonathan couldn’t believe it, just as he couldn’t believe he’d be going to jail soon. Derek shook his head, staring at Clinton with his eyes wide open and his heart beating so hard like it’d pop out of his chest. It seems what he just heard was a fluke or something, there was no way that was true. “Wha…what…what did you just say?” He stuttered, trying as much as possible to calm his nerves and not believe what he heard earlier. Clinton sighed, this was the real reason why he came to pass the message himself, he was so sure that Derek would take the hit harder than Ariana because Derek loved his mother more than Ethan, it was as if the two children picked one parent each. However, they still loved both thier parents. If it had been Sam giving this report, it’d even

Walls Have Ears.
(Back in Ethan’s Mansion) Ariana went into the guest bathroom to wash up her face, she had cried her eyes out and Ethan would definitely know no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She could reduce the swollen part of her face but the redness in her eye balls wouldn’t be easily removed. She stared at the mirror, looking at her reflection for a few seconds; but all she was seeing was the flashes of her mother’s face. Still, she couldn’t believe that Elena was dead, it was the most difficult reality to accept and it shattered her heart to molecules even though she didn’t have a perfect relationship with her mother. Now, it was evident and obvious that she’d become an orphan very soon, losing both her parents at such a tender age. The fact that none of them was going to hold her hand and lead her through the aisle and bless her marriage when she decided to have one was heartbreaking. Ariana had no idea how she wanted to relay the message to her father without him getting a heart a

If Walls Could Talk
Derek stepped out of the vehicle slowly, gazing at Clinton with so much suspicion; no one except he and Jonathan knew about the location that Elena was, then how the hell did Clinton know about Elena? That was Derek’s first surprise, but that wasn’t all, now that it seemed like something was going on in the location where Elena was, he also had information about that. It was obviously concluded that Elena had been discovered, Derek thought, closing the door to his vehicle carefully. “Let’s go in, Derek. What I’m about to tell you is very important,” Clinton didn’t wait for approval, he started walking towards Derek’s mansion as soon as he finished talking. Derek glanced at Jonathan and then at Clinton again who was already close to the front door of his house. What exactly was going on? Derek was utterly confused and he was being killed with uttermost suspense. “We need to hear him out, Derek. Clinton doesn’t joke around, but you and I know that for Clinton to have information ab
