CHAPTER FORTY-THREE

Hearing everything that Eva said, Jemima saw nothing but a golden opportunity to shine.

She was so glad that everything was happening right before Ethan.

She chuckled for the umpteenth time, and because Eva was hoping to see what was going to be the result of the whole charade, she decided to indulge her.

Jemima cleared her throat, and with a bright smile, she asked, “How and when do I get paid? Weekly, monthly? Do I get the money in cash, or do I have to go to the bank to make a withdrawal?”

Ethan huffed, shaking his head with a smirk all over his face.

Eva forced herself not to laugh, holding onto it inside her stomach.

“It’s your choice, Miss Thiago.” She finally found her words, taking a deep breath.

“Our company is willing to adjust for someone like you, Miss Thiago. You seem to have so much potential, and we would like to keep you for a very long time.”

Eva hoped that she was going to be able to forgive herself for all of that, holding onto the emotion

    With his eyes wide, and his breath shaky, Paul continued to pant, his grip on the gun getting very slippery. “Who are you?” He muttered, eyes still on Ethan who was still standing right before him, unflustered, and unhurt. Apparently, the bullet missed him by an inch, piercing into the wall behind him. Ethan scoffed, looking him in the eyes. “My name is Ethan, Paul. That’s all you need to know.” He effortlessly grabbed the gun from Paul who was too terrified to drag its possession with him. “I will hold onto this while you unlock the door.” Ethan cleared his throat, turning to face the door to the room where Sabrina said her daughters had been kept. Paul swallowed hard. “I can’t let you take them, Ethan. They are my children.”Ethan growled, his patience speedily drifting away. “You don’t want to know what I can do to you, Paul. Don’t make me say this again. Unlock the door right now or I will be aiming for your head! I won’t miss just like you did!”“Okay! Okay!” Paul succumb

    Ethan needed no one to tell him that something was wrong.He took a deep breath, scouring the entire living room. There was no sound, not even the slightest of it.Just silence, and the thoughts that echoed inside his head. There were feelings of caution, but reminded of the reason why he had returned to the mansion, Ethan had to move toward the staircase, seeing the blood all over the floor. He climbed the staircase, and he could still see the blood, prompting him to follow it until he arrived at the doorstep of one of the rooms upstairs. He stood still, leaned closer to the door with his ear, and listened. He couldn’t hear anything, but the blood on the floor indicated that someone could be inside the room.His eyes went down to the handle of the door, and just when he was about to grab it, he noticed the bloodstain on it as well. This made him retrace his steps, and he took a deep breath while staring at the bloody door handle. The chances of Paul being inside the room were

    “What?!” Emma gasped, turning to Ethan with wide eyes. “He has your children?” She slowly returned her gaze to her aunt and said nothing else. Sabrina nodded, tears welled up in her eyes. “You have to help me get my daughters, Emma! I beg you!” She pleaded, more tears falling from her eyes. Ethan stepped closer to Sabrina, looking at her with so much pity in his eyes. “I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that, Sabrina. Your husband is a monster, and he will die for his crimes.”“He is not my husband!” Sabrina bellowed, panting heavily.Ethan turned to Emma, and after they had stared at each other for a few seconds, they returned their gaze to the whimpering lady. Sabrina sniffled, attempting to push herself up.She strained, groaning in pain. “He is my ex-husband, Emma. I left him when I discovered that he was cheating on me with his secretary at work, but he kept on coming back to our house and demanding I let him have our daughters.” She paused for a while, but it

    Eventually, Ethan was able to arrive at the hospital in less than twenty minutes. The hospital was not what they expected, but given the sobriety of the situation, they had no time to be picky. The nurses rushed out with a stretcher and wheeled Sabrina into the building while the young couple followed behind slowly. Emma wanted to go into the ward with her aunt, but she was asked to wait at the reception by the Doctor who was meant to take charge of his aunt’s situation. That put Emma in a more intense situation, and she began to pace from one corner to the other, fear plastered all over her face.Ethan sat quietly on one of the empty seats, ignoring the eyes of the people seated next to him.They could tell by the outfit he and his wife were putting on that they were not from around there, but they could only stare without saying a word. It was almost an hour, and there was no response. Emma had become so restless that she moved to her husband, desperation glittering in her eye

    CHAPTER NINETY-TWO Paul looked back at Emma, and convinced that she was not going to be able to shoot the gun, he returned his gaze to Ethan, attempting the fourth strike.“You bastard!” He hoped that the punch was going to land on Ethan’s face, but realizing that he was too good at blocking all his punches, he decided to go for his belly.Sinking his balled fist into Ethan’s belly, he caused the Young CEO to grunt, prompting Emma to gasp. “Oh my God!” Emma was distraught for her husband, and it seemed as though the gun was useless in her hands after all. However, amidst the ongoing chaos, she had failed to see that Ethan was completely calm and was looking for the perfect chance to act.But Paul was too heavy, and from the way he pinned him to the ground, it seemed like a mission impossible. Ethan turned to his wife, grabbing Paul’s hands and holding onto them tightly.“Shoot him, Emma! Go for his leg!” He instructed with a strained voice, but Emma had never been that confused in

    CHAPTER NINETY-ONE Emma groaned, staggering back to her feet. “I am alright.” She managed to break her silence, leaning on the wall to maintain her balance. Then she took a deep breath, turning to Sabrina. “Aunt Sabrina?” She called out, but there was no response. Unable to fight off the feeling that intensely surged into her, she quickly ran to the lady, went down on her knees beside her, and tried to get her to stand. “Aunt Sabrina?!” She called out again, but there was still no response. “Can you hear me?!” She pushed, her breath unsteady. “Get up, Aunt Sabrina! Wake up!” Tears slowly trickled down her face, and when she lowered her ear to Sabrina’s chest, she sighed heavily. “We need to take her to the hospital, Ethan!” She turned to her husband, breathing frantically. Paul shook his head in refusal. “No one is taking her to the hospital! She is not leaving my house! She is my wife!” Ethan growled at him, reminding him that he was with a gun. “That’s not your decisi
