The thought of that dawned on Sam, and he realized how effective it would be on Ethan considering his underlying illness, he didn’t even think about it until Clinton mentioned it. “Oh my God! I never even thought of that,” Sam brushed through his hair with his right hand in frustration, his head was so full with so much thought and this wasn’t part of it. “Ethan’s illness is already an issue, if we tell him Elena’s dead, it’d be a big blow to him, then if we add that Derek and Jonathan were actually working together and might be arrested, that would finish the job. He might get a heart attack,” Clinton frowned, not at Sam but at the delicate nature of the situation. “There’s only one way out of this, and I think it’s going to work,” Sam sighed, glancing at Emily, she needed immediate medical attention and he was still here. Well, Ethan meant a lot to him too. Clinton focused his gaze on Sam, anxious to hear the idea he had; the help would really go a long way if it was worth it,
“What the hell did….?” Ariana’s voice was so loud until Clinton cut her short by holding her mouth, he glanced back at the door to Ethan’s room, after a few seconds; he released his hands from her mouth and placed both of his hands on her shoulder. “You have to calm down, Ariana, or else, we might have another casualty immediately,” Clinton whispered, his eyes fixated on Ariana’s. She was looking so scared and he could feel her body tremble, tears had started to fill her tear ducts, she already understood what was going on and why Clinton didn’t want Ethan to find out. “I’m so sorry, Ariana, but what I said earlier is the truth, I really wish I had got there more earlier,” Clinton tried to console her, he still felt some guilt in him for Elena’s death, even though he never really liked her. “What happened, Clinton, how did my mother die?” Ariana held her mouth, trying to suppress the sound of her tears. If Ethan heard about this, he might have heart failure; Clinton’s approach wa
“No, he isn’t, but he would get to know, this is a peculiar mess and we know it’d affect everyone but we have to consider the person it would affect the most and that’s Ethan.” Clinton answered, Sam was the one who’d reveal the death of Elena to both Derek and Jonathan, he’s in the right position to do it. Although it is quite chaotic, it would allow Derek to see that life could come at you so fast. Ariana wanted to burst out into another set of tears, but she forced it back and swallowed. Her mother just died and her job was to relay the message to her dad, why was she getting the delicate jobs; if something happens to Ethan by mistake, wouldn’t she be the one that they’d blame? Ariana thought. “I’m not so sure about this, Clinton, despite their differences; Ethan loves Elena so much and if he hears about her death, it might cause harm to him, especially with his underlying health issues,” “That is exactly why we need you, Ariana. You’re the one who's closer to Ethan, you’d have
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
(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
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
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
“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
