âWhat! She..did?â Ethan asked, trying to believe he had heard wrongly.
âOf course, while in your houseâ Harold grinned, enjoying the look of despair in Ethanâs eyes without realizing what he just did.

There was silence for some seconds and that was when Harold s-en-sed he had said something wrong.
Perhaps, Irene doesnât want Ethan to know she contacted him and now he has spilled it just to prove he still has a stand in her life.
Damnit.. Irene might be so pissed.
When did he turn a blabbermouth?
âWellâŠshe contacted me to remind me of how much she hates me now..i was so hurtâ Harold feigned a pained expression and Ethan smiled.
âI knew she would never contact you for any other reason, She hates you so much now,with pas-sion and itâs so great to tell you sheâs now in love with meâ Ethan grinned.
âWow, congratulation Ethanâ Harold said.
âI wish you mean itâ Ethan sm-irked.
âAnd i hope you know weâll be visiting the hospital in two days time for the resultâ Ethan said.
âOf courseâ Harold nodded.
âWell..i should warn you beforehand to be prepared for the worst news of your lifeâ Ethan said.
âWhy did you say that?â Harold said.
âCause the baby is mineâ
âWhy donât we wait till the doctor confirms thatâ Harold said.
âExactly! Till the doctor confirms itâ Ethan laughed and Harold thought he had gone crazy.
âI can see youâre done with what you c@mÂŁ here for, can you kindly leave now,thereâs so much work to doâ Harold said.
âI canât believe a billionaire like you is still alternating shifts in his companies and working ha-rd like a pauperâ Ethan gro-an ed.
âYou can get people to do this $h!ts for you,you donât have to work everydayâ He added.
Harold shrugged âI canât get people to do run my companies for me when im still so strong to and of course i have managers in each of my companies and they do their works,that doesnât mean i should sit at home idly knowing how much my effort would contribute to the success of my companies. And you should know i like doing things myself..only then am i satisfiedâ Harold explained.
âEverything you stated is nothing but a silly excuseâŠYouâre just used to working ha-rd like a nob©dy!â
âWow..thatâs a hvge compliment â Harold smiled.
âYou should tend to things yourself if you really want to succeedâ Harold added.
âAs much as i hate to admit it youâve succeeded alre-adyâ Ethan scoffed.
âNo,this is just the beginningâ Harold said much to Ethan chagrin.
Hearing the wealthiest man in San Francisco say âthis is just the beginningâ pissed him off.
Does he want to take over the world!
Heâs glad he had made plans to clear him off this Earth!
So,thereâs nothing to worry about.
Harold is going to continue his ha-rd work in hellâŠthe thought alone brou-ght a smile to Ethanâs face.
âAre you done?â Harold asked.
âOf course and itâs a plea-sure to easily rob you of the two women youâve ever lovedâ Ethan said with a sm-irk before strolling out of Haroldâs office.
âDun-derheadâ Harold said un-der his breath.
He quic-kly picked his phone and texted Irene.
**
đŹHi..i kinda spilled it to Ethan that you contacted me, i donât know whatâs going on but from the look on his face, i guess heâs not so plea-sed to hear that.
Knowing he would get home and probably confront you about it, i gave him an excuse that you only contacted me to remind me of how much you now hate me.
I hope youâre safe over there? And Iâm being patient like you told me to. I miss you so much.
đ Harold.
Irene sighed and smiled after she was done re-ading the message.
Her heart was almost in her throat when she re-ad the p@rt Harold told Ethan that she contacted him but then she felt relieved seeing the excuse Harold gave Ethan, whoâs so dumb to believe everything.
Sheâs so glad Harold had messaged her to inform her beforehand or she would have given Ethan a different excuse and he would suspect something was off and try to dig into it.
Harold acts like he knows of her plans, could Tom have told him? No, Tom wouldnât do that without informing her first.
Harold might just be comforted by the fact that she had told him to be patient,he definitely knew sheâs coming back to him and sheâs glad heâs being patient like she wants.
Heâs so un-derstanding and terrific! and she wouldnât deny the fact that heâs so lucky to have his heart..sheâs damn lucky and she isnât gonna ditch him for anything in the world.
âGet
the hell out of here!â Carrle yelled at one of the maids and that brou-ght Irene back to reality.
She was still seated with Carrle in the living room who kept changing channels to offend her but she didnât mind at all cause she wasnât even focused on the TV.
Her mind and thoughts were far away.
Christiana stood beside her,she dared not sit because Carrle was there.
âDo you want water ?â Tiana asked and Irene nodded.
Tiana quic-kly left to get water for her.
The close relationsh!pbetween Irene and Christiana was noticeable and that pissed Carrle off, though she feels thereâs still a bit of hope to know what Irene does throu-gh Christiana.
Sheâs so sure Christiana knows something they do not know about Irene and sheâs going to ask her about it later.
She watched Irene with great dislike as she gulped the water Christiana poured for her.
Sheâs so angry that Irene who was nothing than a maid in Haroldâs mansion now order her own workers around, sheâs even about to take her place!
She would never allow that.
She so much regret she had made Irene feel welcome the first time she stepped her feet in here.
Shouldnât
she have a miscarriage alre-ady?
Why is the poison taking so long to work!
They heard cars screech to halts and they knew Ethan was back.
Carrle sat upright, br@cing herself.
She sipped a little from the wine in front of her and cleared her throat.
Ethan walked in with b©dyguards as usual and he told everyone of them to leave..
âI hope you didnât make him see how desperate you are for the contract?â Carrle popped the first question.
âNo, but obviously i made him take his hands off the contractâ Ethan smiled.
âindeedâ Irene said inwardly.
âSoâŠthe contract is yours now?â Irene asked.
âAutomaticallyâ Ethan grinned..â Harold refused to sign it so..Iâll be the next itâll be awarded toâ
âDid you cared to know the reason Harold rejected the contract?â Irene asked.
âHe claimed it seems illegal and he even dared advised me not to accept it so i wonât get myself in a de-ep $h!t..he wants me to reject it cause he also did. What a jokerâ Ethan sighed.
âI would also advise you donât accept the contract.. Harold wouldnât have hesitated in signing it if it was legalâ Irene said.
âJust shut up! What do you know about contracts? Youâre just a school drop out and a nanny!â Carrle laughed mockingly.
âCâmon Carrleâ Ethan scolded.
âIâm sorry about that Ireneâ Ethan turned to her.
âItâs fine, Iâm just a school drop out and a nanny like she said.â
âIâll be going to my roomâ Irene stood up.
âAre youâŠupset over what Carrle said?â Ethan asked.
âNot at all..i just nee-d a napâ Irene said.
âAlright,will you be fine?â
âOf courseâ Irene nodded.
âAnd Harold said you contacted him..â Ethan said.
âWhat!â Carrle exclaimed. âI told you sheâs not to be trusted!â She added,prepared to get on her feet.
âYeah i did,to remind him of how much i now hate him and to erase his thoughts of me ever coming back to him.â
âLies! Youâre a liarâ Carrle shouted.
âSheâs not, Harold said the same thingâ Ethan smiled, Irene had proved trustworthy once again.
Carrle breathed heavily and glared ha-rd at Irene.
âCan
i go take my nap now?â Irene asked.
âOf course dearestâ Ethan smiled.

Harold walked into his living room and Ivory jumped on his b©dy immediately.
âHi Dadâ She smiled and Harold picked her up.
âHow are you princess?â He k!$$ÂŁd her cheeks.
âVery fineâ She said.
âHey brother, how was work?â Allysia asked with a smile, walking into the living room.
âIt was greatâ Harold smiled at her.
That bright smile is still plastered all over her face.
He dropped Ivory gently on the couch and turned to her.
âCome to my room later and tell me the reason youâre looking so bright these daysâ He tea-sed and Allysia laughed.
âI got some macaroons and cakes on the way, you both can have itâ Harold said and motioned Alex to give it to them.
Allysia and Ivory squealed over it while Harold smiled and walked to his room to freshen up.
**
âHey brotherâ Allysia walked into Haroldâs room while he was b!ow-drying his hair.
âLittle Sisâ Harold said, handing the dryer to her to help him continue with it.
She collected it and stood behind him and then continued from where he st©pped.
Harold stared at her happy face in the mirror and smiled.
âWhatâs with the glow on your face recently?â He asked.
âWellâŠâ Allysia smiled shyly.
âHmmâŠare you up to something nas-ty?â Harold tea-sed.
âNo, well..you know Blaine,you met with him when you were at Damienâs ap@rtmentâ Allysia said.
âOhh..yeah,the smart guyâ Harold said.
âIâm d@t!nghimâ Allysia said without hesitating.
âUh..ohhâ Harold nodded and smiled.
âDo you like him?â He asked.
âSo muchâ Allysiaâs face was beaming with love.
âHeâs a good guy..from the little i know about him,heâs smart,good looking and ambitious. Good for youâ Harold win-ked and gave her thumb up.
Allysia grinned.
âBut..i donât want you both doing things youâre not meant to do okay?â Harold said, sounding a bit stern.
Allysia nodded.. âTrust me brother,i wonât do suchâ
âI trust you Allyâ Harold smiled.
âGeez! I still canât believe thatâs the reason youâre glowing happily. Youâre a nas-ty girl, arenât youâ Harold dragged her nose pla-yfully and they both laughed.
đ·
Irene laughed ha-rd at the joke Damien just cracked.
She was on a video call with him and Mrs Neave.
And Damien has been ma-king her laugh all along.
She really missed him and canât wait to see him again.
//When are you coming home?â Damien asked with a frown.
//Soon, Dam.
//Thatâs what you keep saying, i donât like the fact that youâre in that house,heâs a dangerous man and youâre not safe.â Mrs Neave expressed worriedly.
âIâll be fine Mum and Iâll be home soonâ Irene as-sured them.
They sighed.
âIrene,you know i like Marl right?â Damien asked.
âOf course,Iâm glad you finally admitted itâ Irene smiled.
âIâm waiting to make sure youâre back safe in the house beforeâŠasking her out because i donât think Iâll want to continue with the relationsh!pif anything happens to you and sheâll be hurt, i really like her Irene and it seems she likes me too,i donât want to wait anymore,i donât want to loose her to anyoneâ Damien said and both Irene and Mrs Neave could tell he was serious.
Irene felt bad to have being the one delaying him.
âDamien,im so sorry,i promise to be back home soon and safe. Trust me Dam..Iâll be back home soonâ Irene said.
âOkay Sis,i know youâll be back soon,Iâm only worried about your safety in that houseâ Damien said.
âI have people protecting meâ Irene whispered,only to their ears.
âReally?â Mrs Neave and Damien asked in unison, and they looked relieved when Irene nodded.
âNow,Iâm relievedâ Damien sighed.
âNevertheless,we want you back home soonâ Mrs Neave said.
âOkay ma’â Irene saluted and they laughed.
âIrene,you wonât believe Damien keeps downing your strawberry jui-ce everydayâ Mrs Neave said.
âGeez! Iâm so going to kill you!â Irene said and felt like dragging his ears from the screen.
Damien pouted and hid behind Mrs Neave,who was laughing.
âHey Ireneâ Irene heard and turned to see Ethan, standing behind her.
Sheâs a bit pissed he hadnât knocked before coming in but she didnât question him about it anyway, itâs his house.
âHeyâ She said to him.
âIsnât that your Mum and brother? Can i speak to them?â Ethan smiled .
âOhh.. yeahâ Irene turned back to her phone and noticed they had disconnected the call.
âI canât ever talk to that wench!â Mrs Neave hissed.
âSame hereâ Damien gro-an ed.
