Eric and Claire stared begrudgingly at David. Eric curled his fists and bit down on his lower lip to restrain himself.Eric held onto Claire as he walked hastily towards the car to hide from the cameras.Jason leaned his hands over Melissa's shoulder as he limped by her side into their car.Eric opened the front passenger door for Claire to get in. He turned to get into the car, took a pause and stared at David as David tried to get into the car with them, “Young man, where are you going? I'm not going to be riding in the same car as a disgraceful human.” Eric said coldly and spat on the floor in front of David as he got into his car and drove off speedily. The tires screeched and the smoke from the exhaust filled the air in front of David.David turned to Melissa to hug her and apologize but she stopped him with a raise of her hand as she opened the door for Jason to get in as he was still sore from the beat down he just endured. She turned to the driver's seat, stood by the door an

Sarah went over to Jack's place as they had planned to meet up with Ethan at a popular billiard hall to hang out and play some pool.Sarah knocked on Jack's door and within a few seconds, it was pulled open."You're here already?" Jack said, not expecting Sarah to be this early."Duhh" Sarah rolled her eyes at the obvious question he just asked."Let me get my keys and be right out, so we'll be on our way." Jack said as he went back inside to his key rack, got his keys, came out and locked the door as Sarah waited for him outside."Alright. Let's be on our way" Jack said as he held the door of the car open for her to get in."Took you long enough." Sarah said hopping in.In less than 15 minutes, they arrived at the same time Ethan arrived, but Ethan came with a guest."'Sup Jack. Did you see what happened to the Grahams?" Ethan couldn't hold his amusement as he bro-hugged Jack."You should've seen the look on their faces when they got home. Priceless." Sarah added in as she giggled."

The sun rays shone into Ethan's room, jolting him from his deep slumber.He dragged himself from the comfort of his bed, into the bathroom to get ready.His personal chef had already cooked up bacon and eggs with orange juice for breakfast.After breakfast, Ethan decided to take a stroll round the streets of Beryl City, to admire the beauty of the city.He never really had the time or patience to waste admiring the city when he was either running around looking for a job or trying to please his ex-wife, Melissa and her family.Taking a stroll now felt like a breath of fresh air after being choked up for a while.Whilst taking the stroll, some poor kids came around Ethan to beg for some money to buy food to eat and Ethan said to them,"There's a food truck on that side of the road, let's see what we can get to eat from there". Ethan said, holding their hands and helping them cross the road to the other side of the street where the food truck was parked.Apparently, it was one of Tasty

"I think you must be mistaken. Henry, it's me, Ethan, your ex brother-in-law."Mr whatever your name is, hold it right there. Let this be the first and the last time I warn you, we have no existing relationship and I would love it to stay that way." Henry cut Ethan off before Ethan could complete his sentence."Noted." Ethan said, staring Henry in the eye without flinching."Now that is out of the way. I'm here to see the director of this bank, we have pending business together, but these guards have refused to let me gain entry into the bank. Please send them off, so I'll dash in and out and be done with whatever business I came to sort out." Ethan said in an unfriendly yet serious tone."What's this delusion you're living in? You think you're some big shot that can just demand to see the director? And that without going through me first? What's this new joke you're pulling?" Henry said, scoffing."Well, as I already informed you, I'm here to meet with the director and I'm not leavin

Ethan took a ride in his customized Tesla as he reminisced on the past events that occured. He really missed the company of his family even though he only spent a short amount of time with them.He enjoyed hearing stories about his dad, and his days as a young child from his grandfather, Ben Watson and his mother, Brianna Watson. His memory of his sister made him teary as he didn't know where she was and what her fate was. He had ordered Tony to look out for any information on her and alert him immediately.His drive to Paradise valley was a getaway from the stress of Beryl City and to fulfill his promise to his family that he'll make up for the rushed visit of last time. He had caused enough Havoc to the Graham family, at least for now and was ready to fulfill his promise to his family by going home and being in the company of people who truly loved him.He has always loved journeying through places. Before now, it was just to see luxury in passing and to see the rich living large b

The Graham's tried to return to their normal lives as it was but they were met with insults and mockery of the night at the Emerald Estate.On this cold evening, Eric Graham and Claire Graham were seated on their large bed in the bedroom where they cuddled to get warmth from each other.“I really can't live like this anymore, after all the sweat we've put into our work to make our name and family respected in this City” Claire lamented as she sat on the bed and leaned on Eric's shoulder as he rested on the headboard.“I know pumpkin, and I've been thinking about it too. I would like to resume work at the pharmaceutical company. We're working on something new and I'll be meeting with some sponsors tomorrow morning” Eric said as he stroked Claire's hands gently with his.“I can't wait for things to get back to normal” Claire said as she heaved a sigh of relief.*“Gbam gbam gbam” “Who's there?” Claire asked as she woke from a much needed sleep.Melissa's voice echoed in the hallway as

Ethan returned from Paradise Valley and resumed his acting role as Tony's secretary.Tony felt uncomfortable with Ethan assuming the role but he couldn't protest as Ethan had made up his mind.The day seemed to pass by quickly and it was time for the staff's lunch break.During the lunch break, Ethan took a stroll to the park near Emerald Estate to have his lunch while he enjoyed the cold breeze, the scenery, the sound of birds chirping and children playing around. It was the perfect blend of nature.Melissa and Jason were also at the same park, laughing, playing, teasing each other, and enjoying each other's company over a picnic.Since they had gotten together, they didn't have time to enjoy each other's company outside the house as Jason worked late into the night and Melissa was busy during the day.But on this day, they cleared their schedule for each other and had the whole day planned out. After the picnic, it was supposed to be a dinner date at one of the finest hotels in the

Tony had gotten back to Ethan's condo and had tasked the maids and manservants to wait for Ethan at the entrance with towels to dry him up. He had instructed them to turn up the heater in the house so Ethan would be warm when he got home. Ethan's meal was ready and the chef was brewing hot tea. Some manservants had prepared a hot water bath for Ethan as Tony informed them that Ethan would be back in no time. Ethan's clothes for the night were splayed out on the bed and later folded in a neat pile with socks and hand mittens accompanying the pile of clothes. As soon as Ethan arrived, a manservant ran towards the car with two umbrellas,one for Ethan and one for himself. He held the two open for himself and Ethan until they got to the entrance, where two maids dried his hair and his hands with dry towels. The manservant helped him get out of his wet shoes and into something more comfortable and dry. Ethan stripped himself of his clothes that were dripping wet and remained in his br

Kehlani stared through the window of the car as she sat at the back seat of the taxi.Her hands fidgeted in fear as she thought of the ways she would be dealt with by Henry.“We're here ma'am” the taxi driver called out as he infiltrated her subconscious.Startled she sprung out of the car and started moving away when she hit her head against the stop sign and turned around to see the driver facepalming himself.Khelani walked towards the car and picked up her purse that contained her phone and some cash and handed the amount for the ride to the driver after which he zoomed off.She took at deep breath and walked up into the apartment.“Woman! Where are you waddling into this house from?” Henry yelled out as soon Kehlani opened the door to the sight of him sitting on the couch.“I'm very sorry” Khelani went on her knees and begged as she crawled to Henry.“Why are you begging? Where have you been?” Henry insisted.“I've been at the…” Khelani Paused to think of how to tell Henry she's

“Yes, I am at the hospital,” Kehlani answered.“What the fuck does that have to do with you not being home? Get your ass over here now!” Henry yelled from the other end of the phone.“Won't you want to know what I'm doing in the hospital? Aren't you worried at all?” Surprise was stamped on Kehlani's face as she questioned Henry.There was a certain silence as she questioned Henry, but it was short lived as he picked up yelling, “Why would I care? Do you think I go around my day wondering what you're doing and probably not doing? I couldn't give two fucks about that and quite frankly, you still haven't answered the original question; why are you not at home?”.“My mom…” Kehlani was interrupted by Henry's sudden question, “Right! Your mom, is she dead?”“No! Why would you say such a thing?” Kehlani retorted.“You know what? I'm tired and this conversation is draining my good energy, get home now” Henry ordered.Khelani almost immediately rushed to tell Henry, "I'm currently in…”, but

Ethan strode down the steps defeated and worried when he saw the doctor that handled Kehlani's mother's surgery.“Doctor, how is Mrs. Michaels? Is she getting better?”“Yes, she just woke up and is talking to her daughter right now.” The doctor responded casually.Ethan almost walked away when he understood what the doctor meant and stopped him to ask, “wait, her daughter? Is she there with her right now?”“Her daughter, the lady you came with earlier, is there with her mother. Will that be all sir?” The doctor asked Ethan politely.Ethan raced up the stairs to Mrs. Michael's room and gently knocked on the door. “Come in,” Kehlani replied.Ethan heaved a sigh of relief as he opened the door, “Hello ma'am, and hello Khelani”.“You look worried sir, I hope all is well?” Khelani asked Ethan, whose brows were furrowed in frustration.“Well, all is well now. I just came from your room, and I thought you had left the hospital, but I'm glad you're here with your mom.” Ethan said, as he drag

“Please help me get up” Kehlani asked Ethan, as she winced in pain.“Slowly. Take it easy” Ethan guided, as she sat upright and he helped her on to the wheelchair by the bedside.“How do you feel? Comfortable?” Ethan questioned, as he checked the wheelchair to see if there was any issue before moving.“It's okay. I'm okay, let's go see my mom” Kehlani said with a smile, before Ethan wheeled her round the hospital and into the recovery room where her mom was kept.“Please we can't let strangers see patients” a male nurse that has just resumed duty for his afternoon shift said to Ethan.“I agree I'm a stranger but she's not. She's the daughter of the patient” Ethan said, pointing to Kehlani in the wheelchair.“Please what is the name of the patient you wish to see?” the nurse asked.“Mrs. Michael. Daniella Michael is her name” Kehlani responded with a nonchalant look.“And what is your name ma? Please may I have your file to confirm that too?” “I'm Kehlani Michael and here's my file to
CHAPTER 67
"Nice to meet you, Kehlani. You seemed to be in a haste when you tripped over the huge rock in front of the hospital, causing the fall that impacted your head. Is everything alright?" Kehlani instantly remembered that she was rushing to the hospital to plead with the doctors to accept half payment in order to proceed with her mom's surgery, as she was informed that her mom needed the surgery urgently."My mom! Where is my mom? I need to get to her right now." Kehlani moved to leave the bed frantically, but Ethan didn't let her."Your mom? What happened to your mom? I'm sorry I can't let you get off this bed. The nurse said you need rest." Kehlani tried struggling in Ethan's grasp but Ethan didn't flinch and she broke into tears."My mom needs urgent surgical attention and I only have half the money for the surgery. I need to plead with the doctors to understand my situation and help my mom, so I won't lose her." Kehlani said in-between tears."That's the problem? I need you to stop
CHAPTER 66
“Good day sir, please help me” Kehlani said, as she dropped slowly to the floor with her injured forehead bouncing off the hospital tiles.“Somebody help her! Nurses! Doctors! Help!” Ethan cried out as he saw the young lady look up to him helplessly before she passed out.A team of doctors and nurses ran out and lifted the patient onto a stretcher and admitted her to be treated, while Ethan waited to make sure she was okay.Ethan paced back and forth the waiting room as his thoughts raged free enough to make him scared for the lady.“Who could she be?“She fell so abruptly, will she need surgery?”“I hope she gets better,” Ethan whispered under his breath.“Mr. Ethan?” A nurse called out.“Yes? That would be me” Ethan replied as his body trembled with thoughts of what the news could be .“Sir, the patient you brought to our attention is stable but she's unconscious. Do you know her name and other details we could write down in her file?” The nurse asked with a smile.Ethan heaved a si

Hello, Why are you not home yet?” Henry said on the phone. He had gone back to an empty house he had rented for her but coming home to the empty house wasn't quite unusual.“I…I went to see mom. The doctor called so I had to rush over, I should have called to inform you, I'm sorry about that.” Kehlani said hurriedly knowing fully well what reaction would follow the situation.“Well, get here. Now.” Henry ended the call abruptly, then tossed his phone on the couch.He reached to lessen the pressure of his tie while striding towards the mini bar. A smile curled on his lips as he thought about the plan he's about to actualize.He got hold of a bottle of bourbon before he could think of an actual choice of drink. He chose the bottle of bourbon because it tends to help him think better.The sound of a closed door drew him out of oblivion, he checked his watch to find out that an hour had gone by.“Took you long enough.” He said blandly. His eyes moved up and down her figure, and a smile t

“How about doing something that he would never be forgiven for and no one will want to side him on?” Henry suggested.“Yes? But that's almost impossible, he won't do anything like that. He's too much of a righteous being when it comes to the things he does and doesn't” Melissa chipped in.“So what do we do about that?” Claire questioned.“Can we set him up and make him do it? By drugging him or any means necessary?” Eric added.“Who said anything about him doing anything? Henry said as he sat upright on the couch.With everyone staring at him expectantly and their eyes signaling him to continue with sharing the details of his plan, he began to explain, “What if we can find someone that will be willing to blackmail him for doing something unforgivable and we can forge proof with Photoshop. The Internet doesn't do much research with these sensitive matters, they mostly just go with the ladies' story. If we can use that to our advantage, he'd be locked up for life”.“That's a brilliant i

"Baby!!! You look like you just got hit by a truck, what happened?" Claire inquired, as Melissa and Jason walked through the door."C'mon mom, it's not that bad." Melissa said, trying to console herself with how terrible she looked and felt."Not thay bad, huh? Jason is literally limping and your mascara is all over your face like you cried. What happened at the reunion?" Melissa and Jason fell unto the couch, fatigued.Before they could respond to all the questions that Claire was throwing at them, Eric came storming down the stairs,"What the heck did you two do now? Why are the Grahams trending again, for the wrong reasons? I thought I gave a stern warning concerning that?"Jason was groaning in pain as he had sprained his ankle from the fall.Melissa begun wailing after Eric yelled at her and Jason."Mom, Dad, everything is ruined and it's all Ethan's fault.""Ethan's fault? What did he do this time?" Claire asked impatiently."Ethan.." Jason was about to explain what happened, w
