EPISODE 80
However, after a few more minutes, he heard the doorbell rings. He lazily openned the doorknob but he was startled to see a smiling woman holding a glas-sof wine.
”Wanna drink?” The woman offered.
Aisha? He was a bit suprise. How did she know where he was staying?
”I’m staying at the room right in front of you so I was thinking to get to know more about my neighbor.” She grinned playfully.
” I’m busy.” He emotionlessly uttered then closed the door immediately.
” So rude! Hmp!” Aisha growled before going back to her own room. Meanwhile, Ethan was smiling wide. He’s not yet done playing the hard-to-get damsel, so might as well see how far she can go. Though he sighed a relief seeing the woman was safe and her room was just in front of him. It should not be ha-rd to monitor her too.
Now, he can rest! Ah! He laid his tired body on his soft king sized bed and with a smile on his face, he slept.
As for Aisha, she was stamping her feet as she enters her room. Then he banged the door upsettingly. That man playing hard-to-get! Ahhhhhh!!! She yelled as she messes her hair. Then in her annoyance, she openned the glas-sof wine and drinks it continously.
And after a few more minutes, she fainted. Dang! Is she drunk already? But it’s just a wine!
*****
She woke up feeling weak and dizzy. Damn that doorbell! It woke her up! Therefore, she got up lazily and strides towards the door and openned it.
” What is it?” She sluggishly asked with her eyes still closed.
The man in front of her was dumbfounded at what he saw. The woman is definitely a mess! Unruly hair, droopy face, slothful stance, and what’s with her breath? Did she get drunk last night? He raised his brow.
However, the woman didn’t hear any response therefore she slowly opened her eyes and was about to get mad.
”Don’t dare knock and no ans—-” she wide-ned her eyes. ” Ethan!?” She staggered backwards. Now she’s totally awake!
Surprised, she immediately closed the door as soon as she realized how ugly she was at the moment. fudge!
But then she heard another knock, not just once, twice but more than! Dang! What will she do? Ethan kept knocking, looks like he’s a bit upset.
Aisha cursed within her and started scolding herself. ”Good! Drink more!” But after a few minutes, she opened the door slightly.
” Why are you here?” She accusingly gazed at the man who was wearing a business outfit. Looks like he is going somewhere.
” Don’t you dare give out the wrong room number again for your package!” He irritatingly showed a medium paper bag then shove it to her upsettingly.
Then her eyes wide-ned embara-ssed. She must have been so drunk last night that she provided the wrong room number when she ordered a dress online. Guess she had provided the last number she saw before she drunk the wine.
” Sorry!” She yelped abashed then snatched the package and closed the door swiftly.
Ethan jolted but snickered after. Was she that bristly last night? Guess she was.
Then he left. But before leaving the hotel, he called room service and ordered some meal.
Meanwhile, Aisha had just gotten out the shower room when she heard the doorbell rang. She could feel her stomach grumbling and was about to order a breakfast but the doorbell kept ringing. It annoys her so much so she went to opened the door.
”Your breakfast order is here.” She was greeted by a lovely young man holding a cart of breakfast…?
”Eh? But I didn’t order yet. I think you have the wrong room number.” She bellowed.
” Eh?” The young man creased his brow and checked the room number once again. ”Miss, this is room 544 right?”
” Yes.”
”Then I am not mistaken, Miss.” He smiled.
”But I didn’t order anything—”
” I think it was your husband since Mr. Ethan Williams made the order a few minutes ago.”
” E-ethan?” She suddenly lit up. So he still cares about her after all. ” Yes, he is my husband. Come in.” She smiled as she opens the door wide for the man to enter in.

Mira hadn’t met the others yet except Rio, Caleb and Hunter. However, when Stacy introduced herself, the little girl hadn’t showed any reaction at all. They all thought that it will be a jaw-dropper but Looks like she was wearing an unbemused face. Did she knew about her already?
” Aren’t you surprise to see your mom’s twin sister?” Cherry inquired.
” No.” She was straightforward. ” I have already saw her once.” She nonchalantly uttered.
” You have seen your aunt Stacy? Where?” Sophie asked.
”Few months ago?” The child answered. ” It was our inter-school game and she was one of the sponsors. I think I have seen Robi too.”
” Really?” Stacy inquired.
” Yeah… but mommy didn’t believe me.” She added. ” But I know what I saw.”
” and you really believed that she has a twin sister?” Cherry probed.
” Yeah… my dad came from Central State as well so I knew mommy was originally from their too.”
” Did you really come up with those ideas alone?” Stacy and the others was dumbfounded upon hearing the little kid. Was she that smart at that very young age?! Amazing!
” Guess I did.” She smiled innocently.
This kid! She’s definitely smart! But what could they expect? Her mom and dad is a combo!
” But do you know that you have an elder brother too?” Stacy inquired further.
” Eh? I have a brother?” That was the time Mira lifted her head to look at them.
Dang! She didn’t know! Stacy suddenly covered her mouth. That information should have come from Aisha and Ethan themselves!
” Yes, you have a brother and his name is Eli.” Cherry understood Stacy’s concern therefore she interrupted. ” He is so kind and sweet. And I’m sure you’ll get along once you meet him.”
” Really mama?” She lit up. She couldn’t call the woman grandma since she is too young to be one, same with her papa Rio. But she suddenly got excited when she learnt about Eli. It has been her wish to have a big brother!
” Can I see him now?” She added.
” Soon when we get back to Central State… but for now, we need to talk to your teacher first so we can transfer your school.” Cherry answered.
” Would that mean mom and I will stay with you?” She glowed..
” Of course yes!” Her mama Cherry exclaimed.
” Yehey!” She jumped in excitement.
” You’ll be able to meet some new friends out there too, Like Robi and Sahaya… I’m sure you’ll love them.” Lisa added.
Now the little lad is expectant! ”Grandpa Sy, I now have a complete family!” She whispered within.
*******
Meanwhile, after Aisha had finish her breakfast, she checked the man’s schedule for the day. He will be having a lunch with…. a woman? She raised her brow. Who could this freak be? She somehow got a little bit perturbed when she remembered what Sophie and the others had said about Italian women who are good at seducing men. Therefore, she took the time and location then went before them.
She made sure to seat beside their reserved table. 30 minutes more to go then they’ll be at the place. And surely, exactly thirty minutes had pa-ssed. She saw a man and a woman walking near her… or should she say, approaching the table beside her.
She was all alone so it’s not ha-rd for Ethan to tell it was her. So she covered her face using the menu in her hands. Its quite large therefore, it should cover her face.
She saw the man pulled a chair for the woman. ” It’s a common courtesy, Aisha… relax…” she was trying to calm herself. But she couldn’t help being jealous since the woman was definitely a beauty queen! She sulked within.
” What do you want to eat?” The man was showing his teeth and his totally alluring! Now Aisha is clenching her teeth.
The woman stared at Ethan suspiciously. ” why are you acting weird? This is not you?” She muttered.
Then Ethan inch closer and whisper something in her ears that made her chuckled.
” You! You haven’t change at all.” The woman uttered, still laughing modestly.
Ethan only smiled in response. Meanwhile, Aisha was sulking in jealousy while watching them. The way how Ethan acts, she’s sure that he knew she was there! Fudge! Now she wanted to attack the woman.
Someone must have seen her agitation that’s why a gentleman went to her table and sat opposite her. Due to her concentration, she didn’t notice the man who was staring at her with excitement.
” Need help, sweety?” The woman jerked when she heard an unfamiliar voice. Then she glanced at the man in front of her.
” And you are?” She dubiously asked.
” Hi, my name is Nathan. I saw you’re alone but kept glancing at that table. Let me guess, is the man your fiance?”
” How did you know?” She was startled.
”It’s pretty obvious! The way how you watch over them, how your eyes glints madness, the way you clench your teeth and the likes…” then the man chuckled frantically.”
” Mister, its none of your business. I can deal with this alone.” She voiced. The man looks handsome but her instinct warns her to not trust this man.
However, she was a bit surprise at what the man did next. In an instant, their faces are now just an inch away. The woman gulped at his sudden reflex.
” Trust me, I’m a man myself. Just look at your man, he is surely staring at us right now.” He smirked as soon as he whispered those words in her ears.
Aisha was about to glance at Ethan’s side but the man suddenly held her chin. ”Don’t let him notice that youre checking him… it will give him a hint that we’re only acting up.”
Aisha leered. ” So what are you expecting me to do? ki-ss you?” She whispered back sarcastically.
” No, just smile sweetly… that’s more than enough to trigger him.” The man casually replied.
The woman did what the man suggested and true enough, the man was throwing daggers at them. Peripheral view ^_^
Nathan smiled seductively before going back to his seat. and after a few more conversation, the man tried advancing even more! Now he tried holding the woman’s hand!
She jerked so she pulled her hand back.
” I’m sorry… I just felt the need to do so since he was looking at us once again.” The man innocently beamed.
” Please do not do anything like that again.” She scowled.
”Okay…” he backed out. ”Then let me do this instead.” He placed a fruit on the woman’s plate. ”Eat… I won’t disturb you, I promise.” He a-ssured.
The woman raised her brow but munched the piece of fruit he placed on her plate. Then the man took a paper napkin and gently wiped the woman’s mouth. After that, he pat the woman’s head as if she was a little girl.
” Do you really need to do this?” She snorted. But Nathan only smiled.
Unknown to them, Ethan had been observing them silently. once in a while, he glances at them.
” Ethan, are you alright?” The woman opposite him inquired since she notice his darkened mood.
”Let’s get out of here and find another restaurant to eat.” He heavily placed the fork and spoon on the table and stood up and exited the restaurant. The woman followed after.
Aisha was about to get out as well but Nathan held her arm.” Where are you going?”
” Follow them,of course!” She was annoyed.
Then the man chuckled. ” If you keep showing him that you are head over heels on him, I guarantee you, he will keep ignoring you.”
She paused for a minute before going back to her chair. She sat back while her arms are folded across her . Her gaze was accusing.
”who are you exactly?” She meticulously asked. ”Who sent you?”
”Eh?” The man jolted but straighten after. ” No one sent me!” He fake a laugh.
” Stop fooling around. I could kill you anytime, you should know that.” She threatenen. The man gulped.
”Caleb! It was Caleb… he asked me to tail you a while ago. Guess he doesn’t trust you after all.” The man chuckled lightly.
” Tsk! That Caleb! I will definitely kill him once I got back!” She bellowed.
” You. Don’t ever follow me from now on! I will prove to him that I can manage on my own! Tell him I don’t need his help!” She commanded before she left the man startled in the restaurant.

She was looking for Ethan at the dinner party but couldn’t find him nor the woman whom he was with. Where could they be? She got anxious.
But then as soon as she averted her eyes on the stairs, she saw them walking together and rode the elevator going up. Wait, are they possibly going to his room? Her thoughts were running wild therefore, she rushed to where the elevator and waited to see what floor they will be stopping.
Her eyes wide-ned in disbelief. Fifth floor! Are they really going to Ethan’s room? Is he planning to sleep with her tonight? Her mind is in a muddle.
She was pacing back and forth thinking what she’ll do next. Will she follow them upstairs or trust Ethan? But what if he was really angry at her and have decided to be with somebody else?
How about her? And Mira? Ah, she wanted to cry but she tried calming herself. But after a few minutes, she entered the elevator and pressed the on going to the fifth floor.
Slowly, she treks the hallway and reached her room. She was already holding the doorknob but couldn’t opened it. She really wants to check the room opposite hers. But she glanced at it before entering her own room.
Then she sat behind the door for almost an hour with an empty mind. But after an hour, she gathered some strength and confidence then went outside and stood infront of Ethan’s room. She knocked thrice. After a few minutes, the door slowly opened.
Her eyes wide-ned in dread as she held her breath! She was totally dumbfounded to see a woman wearing a white robe while drying her we-t hair with a towel.
” Who is it?” She heard a man spoke coming near and as soon as she got a full view of him, she staggered backwards.
Ethan was wearing a white robe as well. His hair is we-t and she could determine that THEY had just finish their showers! Together????
She wanted to break down but she held it in then without a word, she run back to her room and locked the door. And as soon as she reached her place, she fell on her knees and cried. Dang, it hurts!
Is it really the end of their complicated love story?
