âOhh.. yeahâ Irene turned back to her phone and noticed they had disconnected the call.
Another ro-mantic, action, thri-ller or family stories @:- Pizarena.com
She turned to Ethan, embarras-sed.
âI guess they thought you were here to see me for something important and they didnât want to interruptâ Irene quic-kly said.
âOhh..i thought they disconnected it because they do not want to talk to me. How about we go to your house to say hi to them after leaving the hospital in two days timeâ Ethan suggested.
He really wanted Ireneâs family to love him like they love Harold.
âOkayâ Irene smiled, knowing if her plan works out, Ethan would be going to jail right from the hospital.
Her only worry now was the baby,she really hopes itâll be Haroldâs.
âDo you want anything?â Irene asked.
âNo, just wanna spend some time with you.â Ethan sat beside her and made her rest her head on his shoulder.
âI know youâre uncool about what Carrle said,Iâm sorry about thatâ Ethan said.
âItâs fine seriously. Iâve learned not to take Carrleâs words to heartâ Irene smiled.
âYouâre just so different from other women Iâve spent time with. Youâre specialâ Ethan said and Irene smiled.
âYouâre actually the first man to trust me this much and make me feel so loved. Iâm so glad to have made the right choiceâ Irene said, smoothening his hair.
Ethanâs head felt like itâll spill into two with love.
Irene could see the effect her words and carre-ss had on him and she knew this is the right time to ask him the about Helenaâs death.
âYou were about telling me the similar plan Alex and Marie carried out for you that turned out to be a success before Carrle interruptedâ Irene said.
âOhh..that?â Ethan asked.
âYeahâ Irene smiled.
âYou shouldnât bother yourself with that, just know they once carried out a similar plan for me that was successfulâ Ethan said.
âComâon,are you trying to hide things from me again? Ainât i p@rt of you guys anymore? Why is everyone treating me like an outcastâ Irene said, raising her head from his shoulder.
She turned from him, pretending to be pissed while she quic-kly gr@bbÂŁd her phone and cli-cked on the recording app.
It started recording and she stealthily placed it back on the stool.
âComâon, donât tell me youâre pissed over thatâ Ethan said, ma-king her face him.
She reluctantly did.
âIrene,you donât have to know about our past plans,you should just flow with the new onesâ Ethan said.
âWhy donât i have to know? Thatâs just because you donât trust me,i only want you to fill me in on the past incidence so i can trust Alex and Marie to be capable of this planâ
âThey are, youâre going to see for yourself when theyâre done with itâ Ethan said.
âIs it so bad for me to know about that past incidence and you were even about telling me before Carrle walked in yesterdayâ Irene said.
âI wasnât going to tell you Irene,itâs something..i shouldnât just reveal. Trust me,you donât have to knowâ Ethan said.
âAlright then! And to think i was starting to feel youâre the only man who has ever trusted me and loved me. I was wrong after all!â Irene said crossly and made to get up from the couch.
Ethan quic-kly st©pped her.
âAlright sit,Iâm going to tell youâ Ethan said and she almost jumped in the air in excitement but she couldnât make Ethan see how excited she feels or heâs gonna get suspicious.
She reluctantly sat down beside him.
âThe thing is,the first plan Alex and Marie carried out that was successful was t..â Ethan was saying when they heard a loud knock on the door.
âJust ignore it and continue what you were about to sayâ Irene said, trying not to sound as desperate as she felt.
The knock grew louder and Irene told Ethan to ignore it again.
âIts one of the maids..i guessâ She said.
âOhh.. okay, so the plan was carried out inâŠâ
âEthan! I nee-d to talk to you now. Open this damn door,what the hell are you doing in there!â Carrle yelled.
Ethan sighed loudly.
âIâll be back Ireneâ He said as he got to his feet.
Irene nodded even though she was so pissed that Carrle had interrupted them again.
Ethan walked out of her room and she let out a loud gro-an .
She picked her phone and discarded the recording.
Just two days left!
And sheâs yet to know the truth behind Helenaâs death and so many other crimes Ethan has committed.
Damn it.
Is
Carrle doing this intentionally!
đđ
âWhat the hell did you just performed there Carl!â Ethan yelled at Carrle after they got to her room.
He had dragged her all along.
âHey, youâre hurting me!â She said and he re-leased his hold on her .
He dropped her hand and she winced.
âIâm sorryâ He said.
âWhatever!â She hissed ru-bbing the p@rt Ethan had held her.
âWhat do you want Carrle? Did you interrupted us on purpose?â Ethan asked.
âYes and noâ
âExplain thatâ Ethan said sitting impatiently on her be-d.
âI know being alone with her would make you spill things youâre not supposed to? You grow weak like a dead plant whenever youâre with herâ Carrle claimed.
âWhat does that mean? I know the things to say when Iâm with her okay? Donât dare use that as an excuse to interrupt us againâ Ethan warned.
âWell..Iâll be leaving for Mexico tomorrow afternoonâ Carrle announced to him.
âReally? Again?â Ethan asked.
âYeah,that was what i wanted to tell you but that witch told you not to open the door and if i hadnât yelled,you wouldnât have opened the door. What were you both doing in there huh?â Carrle asked.
âWe were not doing anything! Okay.â Ethan cleared.
âI wonât be surprised if you were scre-wing her, sheâs a slutâ Carrle said.
Ethan shook his head and sighed. âI canât believe youâre being this way to her just because Harold rejected you. You were nice to her from the startâ
âThat was because i thought Harold would accept me back but finding out sheâs the reason he rejected me made he hate her. He still loves herâ Carrle said.
âThatâs not her fault! channel your anger on Harold who deserves it, do not make life unbearable for Irene in here,to the extent sheâll want to leave. plea-seâ Ethan said.
âAnd
thatâs the reason, iâll be going to cool off my head in Mexicoâ Carrle said but she knows de-ep within herself that thatâs not the reason.
Irene knows sheâs being watched by her and Carrle knows Irene is watching her also, Ireneâs being careful not to make a suspicious move in her presÂŁnce.
Perhaps if Irene sees sheâs in Mexico and believe sheâs not being watched, sheâll be loosÂŁn up a bit and Carrle would know whatever sheâs hiding throu-gh the CCTV footage thatâll be connected to her l@pt©p.
Irene would feel sheâs not being watched anymore and then walk right into the tra-p she had set.
She so much wish she can set up a c@mÂŁra in Ireneâs room,not just the living room and corridor.
But the damn girl is smart also, sheâll discover the c@mÂŁra like she did the last time and show it to Ethan who would get pissed at her.
The living room and corridor should be okay for now.
She canât actually wait to see what Ireneâs hiding,so she can show it to Ethan who would kill her or kick her out immediately.
âWell..i hope you wonât tell the pilot to st©p the plane when the footage goes blankâ Ethan joked and Carrle laughed.
âComâon..Iâm really going this time. Perhaps when Iâm back,Iâll get to love Ireneâ Carrle said.
âThatâll be greatâ Ethan smiled.
âWell..about Irene contacting Harold, donât you think something sounds off about itâ Carrle said.
âI donât think so, they both gave the same excuseâ Ethan said.
âTheir excuse seems quite dumb to me, who would contact someone just to remind them of how much theyâre hatedâ Carrle arched a brow .
âIt happens and that was not the only reason Irene mentioned,she also wanted to make him erase the thoughts of ever having her back again. Sheâs head over heels with me nowâ Ethan chuckled.
Well..
sheâll be waiting in Mexico to hear the news that Irene finally has a miscarriageâŠ
âFor how long will you be gone?â Ethan asked.
âTwo daysâ Carrle said.
âWill you be watching the house activities on your l@pt©p again?â
âNoâ Carrle lied, telling Ethan means Irene would also know and that would ruin her plan.
âAre you sure?â Ethan asked suspiciously.
âOf courseâ Carrle said.
âAlright,will you be nee-ding anything?â
âNothing..for nowâ Carrle said.
âOkay,i should go nowâ Ethan said.
âYeah, go meet the mother of your babyâ Carrle rolled her eyes.
âUhm..is that jealousy Iâm s-en-sing?â Ethan tea-sed.
Carrle shrugged as she sat on the be-d.
She la-id on her back and stared at the ceiling.
âComâon Carl, youâre still my first and youâll forever be.â Ethan as-sured.
âUh..that? Iâm not worried about that,i know Iâll still get to love Irene and weâll all live happily ever afterâ Carrle smiled.
âGood!â Ethan grinned.
âyeah,in your dreamsâ Carrle said inwardly.
âI love thatâ Ethan said.
âYeah,you should go meet her now,she nee-ds your company more than anyb©dy elseâ Carrle said.
âOkay Carl,see you over dinnerâ Ethan smiled before walking out of her room.
Carrle called in her personal maids and ordered them to start packing the things sheâll be taking along with her to Mexico for two days.
She left the room, determined not to make Ethan and Irene have a time to themselves before she leaves for Mexico.
Emily and Jessie walked after her as she made her way to the living room,she st©pped by Ireneâs door and concluded there was no one in there because she couldnât hear a sound.
She proceeded to the living room and didnât meet them there either.
She asked one of the b©dyguards who told her they were in the garden.
She headed there fast.
Ethan was sipping his wine while Ireneâs glas-s cu-p of water was beside her.
Christiana and Ryan,one of Ethanâs personal b©dyguards stood at a distance.
The novel Irene was re-ading before Ethan c@mÂŁ to join her la-id on the gras-s.
She doesnât even know how to approach Ethan over telling her about the plan Alex and Marie once carried out cause it seems Carrle told him something alre-ady.
âWhy are you looking worried?â Ethan asked.
âAm I?â Irene asked.
âOf courseâ Ethan said.
âHello! I thought i should spend some time with you both before leaving for Mexico tomorrowâ Carrle smiled, approaching them.
She caught the happy look on Ireneâs face even though it disappeared almost immediately.
Sheâs obviously glad to hear sheâll be leaving for Mexico.
Carrle is so certain her plan is going to work this time.
âïžNext Morningâïž
Sunlight streamed into Ireneâs room,sheâs yet to open her eyes but she could feel the warmth of the sun on her skin.
She remained that way for some minutes before finally opening her eyes and sitting up.
Thereâs only one day leftâŠthat was the only thought that crossed her mind as her eyes opened clearly.
One day left and sheâs not fully done with what sheâs here for.
She has been here for six days now and even though she has gathered some evidences,she nee-ded more.
Her intuition keeps telling her Ethan knows about Helenaâs death but sheâs yet to confirm it.
Carrle keeps cutting in,sheâs glad sheâll be off to Mexico this afternoon, sheâll get to coax Ethan into spilling what she wants him to.
She stretched as she sli-pped her feet into her footwear.
She adjusted her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.
đ»
She was fully dressed by the time Christiana walked into her room.
âGood morning maâamâ Christiana smiled.
âGood morning Tianaâ Irene said,she was seated on her dressing chair, styling her hair.
âYour breakfast is re-adyâ Christiana said.
âReally?â Irene asked glancing at the wall clock.
Itâs actually time for breakfastâŠshe had gotten up late.
âThanks Christiana, Iâll be at the dining room soonâ Irene said and Christiana nodded.
đ·â°đ·
âHave a nice trip darlingâ Ethan k!$$ÂŁd Carrle on her forehead.
Irene didnât say a word,she only sat, impatiently waiting for Carrle to leave alre-ady so she can get Ethan to spill those things.
âI want you to see me off to the airportâ Carrle said to Ethan.
âfu-ck!â Irene cursed un-der her breath.
Itâs just feels like Carrle knows of her plans alre-ady.
âAlright..Iâll be back soon, Ireneâ Ethan said.
âOkayâ Irene said.
Carrle walked out of the living room with two of her personal maids and two b©dyguards thatâll be going with her to Mexico.
Ethan stepped out after her and Irene let out a de-ep sigh.
Well.. heâll be back soon,thereâs still a lot of time.
Irene patiently waited for Ethan in the living room.
She had thought itâll take him minutes but itâs going to two hours and heâs not home yet.
Carrle left by 4:30 and now itâs 6:31!
She sighed as she picked her phone and placed a call across Ethan.
đHey Irene..â He said.
đHey, where are you?â She asked trying not to make him s-en-se the desperation in her voice.
âIâm on my way home alre-ady, Carrle st©pped by a lot of places to get things, thankfully,sheâs gone nowâ Ethan said.
âOhh..i was worriedâ Irene said.
âIâm sorry to have made you worryâ Ethan said,with a smile. Sheâs worried just because she didnât see him for two hours,that simply means she cares for him.
âItâs fineâ Irene said.
âIâll see you soon at home thenâ
âAlright byeâ
Irene disconnected the call and dropped the phone beside her.
Heâll be home soon, she felt relieved.
She wonder if Carrle is deliberately preventing her from spending some time alone with Ethan.
Well..whatever,sheâll be away in Mexico and without interrupting her and Ethan.
~
Ethan was about pas-sing the phone to one of his b©dyguards when another call c@m£ in.
He glanced at the screen and almost screamed in excitement.
The call is from B pharmaceuticals!
**
Ethan walked into the living room and Irene stood up.
She had planned to go with him to his room before coaxing him to tell her whatever he knew about Helenaâs death.
She noticed the excitement on his face as he approached her,he seemed to be in a hurry also.
âI just got a call from B pharmaceuticals, they want me to come nowâ Ethan smiled.
âYouâll be awarded the contract?â Irene asked.
âHopefullyâ Ethan said.
âSo youâll be going there now?â Irene asked.
âOf course,i nee-d to get dressed and run along. I canât miss this opportunityâ Ethan said.
âWhen will you be back?â She asked.
âI might be late, donât wait upâ He said and patted her shoulder gently before rushing to his room.
Irene slammed herself on the couch knowing she just missed the chance to get to know more about Helenaâs death again.
Ethan might be back late and heâll obviously be tired to say anything or even respond to her.
Well..he might not be tired when heâs back,sheâs going to wait up.
She canât miss this again when tomorrow is the last day sheâll be here.
âMaâam,you nee-d to be careful with your movements so you wonât hurt the babyâ Christiana said, she was alarmed when Irene slammed herself on the couch.
Irene obviously forget sometimes that sheâs pregnant.
âThanks Tianaâ She sighed.
đ
Ethan returned late like he had said but Irene was still waiting up for him.
She was dressed in her pajamas alre-ady and had told Christiana to go to be-d.
Most of the workers were asleep also.
âYou waited up?â Ethan asked and Irene nodded.
He looked a bit tired
âThank you,but you shouldnât haveâ Ethan was t©uçhed by Ireneâs care.
âItâs fine,i just wanted to make sure youâre home safely. Do you want me to dish out your dinner?â She asked, knowing the meal would probably clear his tiredness.
âNo, i had something on the way. I should go to be-d nowâ Ethan yawned and Irene felt sad her waiting was in vain.
Thereâs still a dayâŠshe comforted herself with the thought.
âWere you awarded the contract?â She asked.
âNot yet but i was as-sured Iâll be awarded the contract, Iâll be going there tomorrow morning to sign some papers and the itâll be mineâ Ethan smiled sleepily.
âYouâll be leaving the house tomorrow also!â Irene asked.
âYeahâ
Damn.
âGoodnightâ He k!$$ÂŁd her cheeks.
âGood nightâ She sighed.
**đ§Next Dayđ„**
Ethan returned home drun!kin the afternoon,in celebr@tion of the B pharmaceuticals contract he had been awarded.
He smiled happily as Irene and some b©dyguards helped him to his room.
They placed him on the be-d and left, leaving Irene with him.
âI won it!â He laughed but Irene was less concerned.
She was sad sheâll be leaving without really knowing if Ethan is involved in Helenaâs death cause obviously heâs drun!kand will be sober by night or tomorrow.
She had packed her luggage alre-ady and told Christiana to pack hers also because theyâll be going for the test result tomorrow.
Well she had enough evidence against him alre-ady,that should be enough to put him in jail.
She was about leaving his room when she remembered heâs known to leak informations when drun!k.
She quic-kly turned back to him.
âEthan,you wanted to tell me about how Alex and Marie is involved in Helenaâs deathâ She said bluntly without coating words.
âOhh.. Helenaâs death? Sheâs dead. Sh.. sheâs deadâ Ethan said drun!kenly.
âI know sheâs dead but were you involved in her death? Did you sÂŁnt Alex and Marie to do it?â Irene asked.
âNoâ He shouted. âAlex and Carrle did it! I told them to do it and th..they didâ Ethan laughed.
âY..you mean.. Alex and Carrle poisoned Helena?â Irene asked in a shaky voice.
âYes..they poisoned her dinner and sheâs rotting in hell now..â Ethan smiled, pu-lling the be-d cover over his head.
He laughed un-der it, speaking gibberish.
It took a while for Irene to gain her momentum,she had suspected Ethan knew about it,she shouldnât be so surprised now.
Tom had told her to keep her emotions aside and thatâs what sheâs gonna do.
She slowly pu-ll-ed the be-d cover from Ethanâs head.
âWhy did you ordered them to poison her?â She asked him slowly.
âHelena..i hate her! Sh..she dared threaten to tell Harold about our affair,i started d@t!ngCarrle while she was pregnant with Ivoryâ Ethan said and made to drag Irene closer to him,she quic-kly shifted back.
Irene sighed, getting the whole picture now.
They had poisoned Helena because she threatened to reveal their affair.
She slowly walked to the door,staying with such a murderer almost want to make her puke.
She felt like hitting him over and over again for the crimes he had committed.
âH..hey. Donât you want to know about your fat..herâs death?â Ethanâs drun!ken words brou-ght her legs to a halt.
She turned sharply.
