CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX “What is it?” Michael asked casually, showing little or no interest to getting the answer to his question since he obviously seemed like the only one interested to knowing. Ursula was silent for an additional few seconds, and that seemed to be pissing the middle-aged man off even though he tried as much as he could not to show it. “Are you going to tell me why you are here or do we have to send you out?” His expression lacked every form of patience and pleasantness. He glared at Ursula, giving her the kind of look that she had never expected to get from him. Ursula sighed heavily, her expression revealing the intense shock that had gripped her entirely, causing her to look at Ethan and Maria who seemed not to be entirely interested to knowing what she had to say. When she finally returned her gaze to Michael, she cleared her throat, getting ready to say what she had in mind. “We have a son, Michael.” She blurted, staring Michael in the eyes. There

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE “I did everything I could to make you happy, Ursula…” Michael finally found his words amidst the pain and anger that gripped him, causing his chest to rise and fall at the same time. He was also struggling with the physical pain that came along with his recovery, but it appeared as though that was nothing compared to the emotions that had found an abode inside his chest. “I should have known that you and Reese my brother were sleeping with each other when Larry told me he saw you coming out of his car the other night…” He grunted, clenching his fists tightly.His veins protruded, revealing the anger brewing inside him. He managed to look Ursula in the eyes, and she could see the disdain that was buried deep inside his orbs. Michael struggled with his anger, attempting all he could to not let it go beyond what was already occurring. “I want nothing to do with you, Ursula. You have caused me so much pain that anyone could imagine.” He was forced to p

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR “That’s not the way to treat your wife, Michael.” Ursula eventually found her words, but it seemed as though she was pissing Michael off with her utterance. “Mikey, love.” She tried touching his face, but Michael slapped her hands off, turning to Ethan who was already close enough, but was silent because he was waiting to hear from his father. “I don’t want this lady in here with me, Ethan. I think you should take her away from me.” Michael demanded, causing Ethan to nod. Before Ethan could turn to Ursula, she was already staring at him with her brows arched, and the smile on her face was evidence of the antics she was about to pull. “Ethan my love.” She said with a smirk all over her face, turning to properly face Ethan. She paused for a while, and after she had taken a deep breath, she continued with a very sweet tone, the sweetest she could produce. “You are not going to send your step-mother away, are you?” She pouted, faking a gloom. Ethan d

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE At first, Ethan thought that it was Maria who had walked into the room, but when he saw the countenance on his father’s face, he was forced to turn at once. The sight of the lady dressed in a flawless blue gown caught his attention, causing him to arch his brows. Slowly, he began to walk toward her, but then he saw his father’s expression, indicating that he recognized the fair lady. Ethan returned his gaze to the lady the moment he saw that she had started walking up to Michael with a wry smile.“Mikey, my love!” She chuckled softly, inching closer.Gripped tightly with both hands was a bouquet of dark roses, her lips were coated with the red gloss that glittered as she stepped forward. Michael almost pushed himself off the bed, his wide eyes sparking with nervousness. “What are you doing here, Ursula?” He asked, his voice laced with both annoyance and panic. He turned to Ethan, and of course, his son was curious to know who the strange lady was

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO The moment Ethan walked into the ward, Maria forced herself up from the chair, walking up to her brother with wide eyes. “Where have you been, Ethan?!” She frowned, her eyes burning with annoyance.“Father has been asking about you,” She added, staring Ethan in the eyes. “That was when she eventually saw the weakness in his eyes, indicating that he was exhausted. “Is everything alright?” She asked, but Ethan didn't respond. He walked to the bed where Michael was and sighed heavily, staring at the recovering man. “How is he?” he asked the moment Maria inched closer, his eyes still fixed on his father. “He is totally fine now, Ethan,” Maria responded cheerfully, and then she chuckled softly, grabbing her brother’s arm with both hands. “Thank you so much, Ethan! Without you, this wouldn’t have been possible!” She laughed joyfully, unable to hide her relief. Ethan turned to look at her face, and then he sighed heavily, a smile spreading all over his

“How long is it going to take you to find your bank app and make the damn transfer?!” Ethan asked with a vibrating tone, sending more shivers down Reese’s spine.“I am trying!” Reese said with a shaky voice, staring from one part of the screen to the other as though he had never seen it before.“I can’t find it!” He said, his tone low and cracked. Ethan scoffed, and then he grabbed the phone from him with a rough snatch. “Let me help you.” He said calmly, and with just a few scrolls and swipes, he found what had been staring Reese in the eyes for a while, and it was either that he pretended not to see the colorful icon, or he was too flustered to pay attention. Ethan proceeded to click on the icon, and then he lifted his face to his uncle, holding onto his wry smile.“What’s the code?” He asked impatiently, glaring at the middle-aged man. Reese swallowed hard, showing reluctance to speak. “The code, Uncle!” Ethan sparked, his eyes burning with annoyance. “Three…” Reese paused, f
