Nadia looked at him closely, those eyes were quite familiar to her. Roy rushed to him to help him maintain his balance in other for him not to fall.
" What are you saying, son? She's a fraud !" His mother yelled.
" Even still mom! She's my wife now and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't get divorced immediately after getting married?" he says taking his seat.
" And besides it is of no use now. The reporters outside took a picture of her already. So it would be disappointing if the public finds out" she saw a picture on her phone of Nadia entering the mansion earlier.
" That fast?" His father asked surprised.
" The internet loves stories as this" Kim says.
" You have a good heart my dear unlike your bitchy sister" Grandma Elsa gave a warm smile.
" She's lying I didn't........" Her father took her by the hands dragging her to the garage.
" Are you stupid?" He asked.
" I can't admit to something I didn't do! You're making me suffer. Aren't you to be my family because at this point I feel alone" tears gathered up in her eyes.
" Well, you should have thought about it when you decided to be careless at the hotel. Just be grateful am letting you marry a rich young man. You'll go in then and apologize to everyone for what you have done to your sister" he ordered.
" But I didn't do anything wrong!" She fired back.
" Do you want me to cut off your beloved grandmother's medical bills? He threatened to make her go stiff.
" Just what I thought. Be a good girl and your grandmother would be safe" he said, she glared at him with hatred in her eyes, and she walked back inside. Everyone turned their gaze at her, she bowed her head as she clenched her fists.
" Am sorry for my misdeeds. I was jealous and wanted to get married to the son of the Welsh family at all cost even if it meant hurting my sister and for that am sorry" she apologized through gritted teeth as she fire a death glare at Kimble who seems to be enjoying the little show she put up. Kimble returned the look with a dirty smirk and said " it's ok, we're sisters and can't be enemies"
If looks could kill then Kimble would've been lying dead by now. She hated her guts and couldn't believe that her entire family ganged up on her. For the first time in a long while, she felt alone.
" Miss Barnes, my sincere apologies that things have to turn out this way but I'll compensate you for the troubles" he calmly said walking to her, he walked passed Nadia, and his cologne immediately hit her nose.
" This was the same cologne the man had that night," she thought although she had not seen his face this time when he was close enough she recognized him. He was the same man!!!! The one that took her virginity at the hotel that night.
What were the odds? Or was fate trying to play a trick on her? She thought as she was dumbfounded at her discovery.
Kimble happily agreed. It was the best outcome for her. She could enjoy Ethan's favor without marrying him. It was a pity in Kimble's heart that Ethan was so handsome, yet so short-lived. After hearing what Ethan had said, everyone retired to their rooms and the Barnes left the mansion shortly after that.
" You better take good care of my son's problem else I will throw you out personally" Mrs. Welsh stomped off to her room.
He walked and noticed she wasn't following him
" You're not going to sleep there, are you? He turned to ask.
"I thought you don't care? She thought inwardly and followed him to their supposed bedroom.
Inside the bedroom was spacious and beautiful too, admiring the place her eyes fell on the bed, she instantly blushed at the thought of what the bed meant to married couples.
" It's beautiful," she says sitting on the bed.
" What are you doing! Get up this instance" he yelled she jerked up as if bitten by a scorpion.
" What's the matter? She held her chest with her heart throbbing fast.
" I don't share my bed with the likes of you. There, sleep on the couch" he said and walked into the bathroom to rinse his face and climbed back on his bed.
It was around midnight when she noticed he unusually curled himself she had just gone to the bathroom and on her return, she sees him shivering. The sleep instantly cleared from her eyes as she rushed to him, his body was instantly cold, so cold that she wondered what exactly was his sickness although she heard he was poisoned which was given by the dead enemy Donald from the Graham Family. The pain is unbearable when the disease attacked him. She tried to touch him but he pushed her making her crash into one of the flower pots in the room, and didn't even notice that she was bleeding right under her arm, she was worried and scared. The door kicked open and everyone entered, it was obvious they had been alerted by the noise coming from the room.
" Stay away from my son" his mom pushed her aside.
" Roy, get his medicine". She yelled with traces of fear in her voice.
Roy rushed over and helped Ethan take some medicine. But Ethan's state didn't turn out to improve.
" What do we do now! My so could die any moment from now." Tears rolled down her eyes ." I can help if you'll let me" she says shyly everyone turned in her direction.
" I mean am a medical student. So I know what to do." she tried to put on a smile. which they weren't buying but she still pushed her luck. This was her chance to prove that she's not a bad person as her family portrayed her to be.
