Chapter 03

Ethan stares back at Gracie who is looking at him in his own blood with pity.

“You should go to the hospital” Gracie said and started packing her files in her hand.

She really wants to get out of being dragged out in disgrace because of Ethan.

Ethan remained still looking at her without saying a word, “You need to go to the hospital!” She repeated but he kept looking at her like he’s not in her world.

He manages to stand on his feet and pulls off his shirt leaving him in his singlet, “Stop being stubborn Ethan! You have cause so much damage already constituting a nuisance everywhere” 

Ethan looked at his wife wondering how she could utter those sentences to him, he’s the one who had created a nuisance now? What about her own boss?.

Should he have watched him continue disrespecting him just because he’s poor and he’s rich, everyone should have equal rights.

The country might have turned upside down and the rich rules but he’s not going to allow that to happen to him.

He even went to the extent of wanting to have an affair with his wife right in front of him.

“Since you refuse to go to the hospital you can suit yourself !” Gracie says to him plainly, she’s really hurt with everything that has transpired and he’s still being stubborn.

She packs her things and walks out of the hall. He wipes the blood on his forehead and staggers out of the room too, he knows everything is already messed up.

No one would believe him anyways, he’s the poor guy married to a stable wife and her boss is the one they should be begging for mercy.

Such an irony, Ethan thought walking out of the hotel taking the back door, he didn’t regret any of his actions except sitting down at the table per his request.

He should have known it’s all for trouble, his small phone started ringing in his left pocket.

He brings the phone out and bash his lashes shortly before picking the call,it’s a strange number but who Cares? It might just be one of her boss's pranks.

“Hello,” He answered.

“Mr Jones, Would you mind stepping down to the car pack for a few minutes?” The caller asked him over the line.

He wondered who it could be,he had never been addressed with so much respect right on his face before and this person just did that through a phone call.

“I would be there. '' He replied and hung up, he couldn't even guess who it could be, yet he had it at the back of his mind that it could be one of Gracie’s pranks.

He heads down to the car pack holding his bloody shirt in another hand after putting on his clothes from the closet.

He needed no one to tell him that his work at Trump was over when he had fought with one of their vip customers.

“Master!” The old man bowed his head, greeting him.

He does not understand why the man had to call him master and show him much respect.

“Your exile period is over” The old man says to him and hands over a VIP card with a cell phone to him.

Ethan was happy hearing him say that, “I will surely return” He replied and the old man headed back into the car that brought there.

He left not without bowing his head respectfully to Ethan, the car drove away and Ethan smiled.

Sincere happiness is obvious on his face and he hasn't taken two steps when a BMW car drives roughly hitting him, he landed on the floor hitting his arms on the floor.

He holds on to the card and the cellphone in his hand tightly, Tyler, his friend who also works as a waiter inside the hotel, rushed up to him.

He saw the whole incident from afar, “I will take you to the hospital” He said to Ethan.

“No, Don’t worry about me, I will be fine,” He said, groaning in pain.

Ethan knows he needs medical attention but he also knows that the card and cellphone in his hand is at risk if he goes to the hospital.

He needed to keep this safe. He thought and managed to stand on his feet,he was surprised it’s no other person than his wife's boss.

He had his driver run him over with his car.

Mr Augustus steps down from the car together with his personal assistant and on the other side is Gracie's best friend.

“Look how miserable your life has been since you decided to be an arrogant poor man?” Mr Augustus laughed heartily without a hint of remorse he had hit him.

“You just hit a citizen and all you could do is to laugh?” Griffin asks with a frown, he’s sure that the CCTV camera is watching them but yet again he’s a rich powerful man.

“What did he just say?” Mr Augustus couldn’t hold in his laughter, he couldn’t believe Griffin just called himself a citizen.

“You’re a citizen?? You’re nothing but a waiter here and a poor thing!” He said, pocketing his hands.

Griffin swallows hard while Tyler couldn’t utter a word, he knows saying a word would drag him into trouble along with Ethan.

Mr Augustus is a very powerful man who has connections all over and he won’t dare speak back at him the way Griffin does, after all he has a rich wife but who does he have?

“Why don’t you apologise to me now and I will forget about everything you did to me today” Mr Augustus said arrogantly while the rest watched Ethan struggle with his injuries.

“Why should I apologise to you?” He asks Mr Augustus back with so much boldness in him, he believes the one who needs to apologise to him.

This made Mr Augustus wonder what suddenly makes him have this boldness in him,he’s nothing before him and he has the guts to speak to him this way.

Mr Augustus is not the only one surprised with his boldness, “I won’t apologise to you ever so you do your worst!” Ethan said firmly, shocking everyone.

    EOINI’D JUST BEEN READY TO CALL ALINE WHEN A TEXT CAME THROUGHthat she was coming back and we needed to talk. I went back and forth between anxiety and relief while I waited for her. We couldn’t keep doing this.Our lives were linked, and we didn’t have the luxury of waiting until we had our shit figured out before deciding to start a family. The baby was on the way, and no matter what she and I disagreed about, I had no doubt that we were on the same page when it came to being the best parents we could be. To do that, we needed to work this out sooner rather than later.Since I didn’t know if Aline had her key, I unlocked the door and then spent the next fifteen minutes or so pacing from one end of the living room to the other and back again.When she came in, I wanted to just blurt out an apology and explanation, but I also didn’t want to come on too strong. How the fuck did people do this? How did they know what to say or how to say it? I didn’t know the ans

    EOINTHE MOMENT THE WORDS CAME OUT OF ALINE’S MOUTH, I COULD SEEthat she wanted to take them back. Not because she regretted accepting my proposal or didn’t want to live with me, but because blurting it out like that had been like dropping a bomb.Now, we were just waiting for it to explode. I could read it on their faces. I read it on her face too. She realized the impact of what she’d done.And then Freedom turned on me, her expression furious.“What the hell did you do?!” She pointed at me, her clear blue eyes flashing. “How dare you take advantage of her when she was upset! Out on her own for the first time and vulner–”“We’re engaged,” Aline cut her off, clearly deciding to get it all out now that things were in motion for a confrontation. “And I’m pregnant.”Freedom’s jaw dropped, and her face went white. Aline’s jaw tightened. “So, back off.”“What?”The word came out as a whisper, confirming for me that Aline had never spoken to Freedom that way before.“Eoin is m

    EOINIF I DIDN’T QUIT SNEAKING LOOKS AT ALINE, SHE WAS GOING TO CATCHme and want to know what the hell I was doing. Then I’d be put in the very awkward position of either lying to her and her figuring it out or telling the truth and pissing her off. Neither scenario ended well for me.She’d agreed to tell my parents about our engagement and the baby, and I was going with her tomorrow to spend Christmas Day with her family. Both of those were things that I wanted, but I kept feeling like some other shoe was going to drop and ruin it. That she’d suddenly recognize the fact that she could do so much better than me and decide that, while she might want the baby, she didn’t want me along with it. Or she’d think about how pissed Freedom was going to be when she saw me and realize I wasn’t worth the headache.Death wasn’t the only thing that could take someone away.So, I kept watching her, paying close attention to every expression, to every shift in body language.I’d been worried at Marti

    EOINTHE SCENT OF PEACHES WOKE ME UP, AND IT TOOK A MOMENT FOR MEto remember why my bed smelled like fruit. Aline. My eyes opened, my need to reassure myself that she really was here greater than me wanting to sleep a little longer. Once I saw her, I couldn’t look away.We were both on our sides, her back to my front. Her body was curled up, making her look even smaller than she was, and a surge of protectiveness went through me. I slid my hand from her hip to her stomach, wondering when I’d be able to feel the changes to her body, when the baby would start to move, how big it was right now.Was it a boy or girl? Would Aline want to know before or have it be a surprise? When would we be able to tell?I had a lot of research to do, I realized. I wanted to do this right, and that meant not leaving everything up to Aline. Some of the questions colliding together in my brain were the kind that she and I could talk about. I could find the answers for all the others myself. S

    EOINI PUT MY PHONE DOWN ON THE COUNTER AND GOT A BEER FROM THEfridge. If I wasn’t driving anywhere tonight, I didn’t need to worry about how much I drank. If I couldn’t be with Aline, taking care of her, getting a little drunk sounded like a good idea. Not so much that I’d be hung over tomorrow, but enough to take the edge off.It was a hell of an edge. Pregnant.I was going to be a father.Maybe. Aline could decide to terminate the pregnancy, but after how her parents had struggled to have kids, I didn’t think that was going to be the route she took. If she did, I’d be there with her, but even as shell-shocked as I was right now, I was hoping she’d have the baby.My baby. Fuck.I needed to sit down, but the few chairs I had were covered with shit from my storage unit. The floor would have to do. I leaned back against my refrigerator and took a long drink.I’d never really thought about being a father. My parents never pressured any of us kids about giving them

    EOINI DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHY ALINE WOULD – AGAIN – THINK I DIDN’Twant her. I knew her family was really overprotective of her, but I couldn’t imagine that translating into any type of emotional abuse. She was a certified genius and one of the most selfless people I’d ever met. And she was gorgeous. The fact that she’d been a virgin – barely even kissed if Freedom had been right about that too – confused the shit out of me because she had to have had guys all over her.Just the thought of any other man near her made my arms tighten around her. I still had my hand in her pants, could hear her ragged breathing slow and even out…and I was jealous of men I didn’t even know, men who might not even exist.Men I didn’t want to exist.I wanted to be it for her. The only man who’d ever know what she looked like when she came.Shit.The thought should have terrified me, but it didn’t. Even though I was painfully hard, I was content to stand here, holding her, rubbing her back with my free hand.
