"What do you mean? his dad didn't send him?" Ethan asked still getting angry
"Yeah"
"It still doesn't change anything whether or not his dad sent him or not" Ethan said to his brother then he approached Austin and grabbed him by the collar.
"You hurt the lives of a lot of people so don't expect to get forgiven easily or maybe I may never even forgive you so leave now" Ethan yelled furiously at Austin.
"Ethan..." Austin called remorsefully but Ethan didn't allow him say whatever it was he wanted to say
"Leave" Ethan yelled and Fredrick signalled for Austin to leave and with a nod, he walked out of the office.
"Son of a bitch" Ethan cursed after Austin
"Ethan listen up here, Austin is the least of our problems He seems sincere and that means he won't be coming after us"
"So it's over?" Ethan asked hoping for a positive response.
"No, it's not over" Fredrick replied
"What do you mean? Damon is dead and Austin like you said won't be coming after us so?"
"When Damon spoke on the phone, he sounded so certain that he was going make me pay, even when it was obvious that he was still going to die"
"He dislikes us so it's normal for such a person to say trash like that before they die" Ethan said trying to convince himself that it was over.
"Believe it or not, something is coming and its something big because I can fucking feel it. Damon was serious about making me pay because he already gave someone the job" Fredrick announced to Ethan who sat listening to him with rapt attention
"What? even in death. He is still hunting us" Ethan asked furiously pacing round the office.
"Damon wants us to think we've won and then when we let our guards down and we least expect then the enemy strikes.
There is always peace before the storm and it looks like, we are going to be having that peace for a long time maybe a month or two months. It's still uncertain"Fredrick said racking his brain.
"Who do you think he sent to kill us?" Ethan asked hoping he knows
"It's definitely not a hitman but someone who has deep hatred for us. Someone who seeks revenge, someone just like him, someone he trust, someone we may have met?" Fredrick replied intelligently
"Who do you think it is?" Ethan asked with all seriousness.
"Okay, my brain is not a computer so I still need to think about it" Fredrick said and rolled his eyes while he chuckled softly.
"Goliath" Fredrick said after a few minutes of silence.
"What, the spy secretary?" Ethan asked in surprise
"Yeah, I could see the hatred in his eyes that day on the interview and he tried to obviously cover it up but he couldn't" Fredrick said playing with his chair
"Oh my, Damon just dug their graves together then" Ethan lamented.
"Exactly so yell Mr Fidelis to pull up all the information he has on that bastard and also, it's confidential" Fredrick said to Ethan
"I will do just that. I should leave now" Ethan said then Fredrick nodded and he walked out of the office.
"I see you don't give up easily Damon so just watch me tear that Goliath of a guy into pieces if he does anything to hurt my family" Fredrick thought inwardly"
GOLD POV
"Now that's weird" Gold muttered on their way home.
"Of course it is because I can't believe Austin just apologized. What has gotten into him?"
"Maybe, he changed?" Ella said and Gold shrugged.
"People like Austin never change so I doubt it" Gold responded
"Maybe, we should stop talking about Austin and talk about more important things" Gold said to Ella.
"Remember the party we got invited to..."
"I was serious when I said I'm not going because I'm pregnant and the least thing I should be thinking of is going to a party and getting drunk which will definitely harm my babies or dancing with some horny kid who will want to have a taste of my pussy and that would mean cheating on Fredrick"
"We all know you hate alcohols and no guy will dare touch you as long as I'm there.
"You will probably be drunk by then It's still a no for me" Gold said still refusing the offer
"It's so hard to convince you sometimes" Ella said and Gold chuckled when she said that.
"Oh my God" Ella exclaimed as she gasped at something on her phone.
"What is it?" Gold asked getting worried already
"Damon is dead" Ella broke the news to Gold who looked excited
"If he really is, then that's great news. At least now we can have peace"
"I guess you are right" Ella concurred
ETHAN POV
Ethan walked into the sitting room feeling exhausted but Fredrick had to stay back saying he had some issues to sort out at the office.
"Ethan, you're back" Ella squealed and jumped on him as she kissed him. It was slow and passionate as their tongues fought for dominance.
"Get a room" they heard Gold giggle so they had to stop kissing.
"Where is Fredrick?" Gold asked Ethan
"In the office, had a few more things to do"
"Where is my little nephew?" Ethan also asked Gold
"Napping"
"OK"
"Sir, someone is here to see you" A maid said to Ethan.
"Who is that?" Ethan asked and the maid shrugged
"I don't really know, she says you know her and she has some important information for you?"
"Who could that be and why will someone want to see me and what information is she talking about? Well, there's only one way to find out"
"Let her in" Ethan instructed the maid.
"Okay sir"
"Do you think you did the right thing by letting her in?" Ella asked him.
"Of course because I need to find out what she came for and who she is"
"Okay" Ella nodded and some minutes, later, Jonathan the guard walked in accompanying a pregnant woman and she looked familiar really familiar.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Ethan thought inwardly.
"Rejoice?" Ethan called in absolute astonishment not believing his eyes.
"It's great you remember me" Rejoice said smiling.
"Ethan, who's she?" Ella asked already getting confused.
"I'm his wife and can't you see I'm carrying his baby" Rejoice replied.
"What the hell are you talking about? We had sex and that's all because there were no strings attached" Ethan yelled angrily.
"I had sex with Rejoice but that was before Ella and I started dating and It was just a one night stand at the club. Ella is so going to misunderstand everything" Ethan thought inwardly but he was jolted back to reality by Rejoice's voice.
"I'm pregnant Ethan and hence I'm carrying your baby I'm going to be your wife soon" Rejoice announced provoking Ethan.
"Ethan what the hell is she talking about?" Ella yelled...
ETHAN
"Hey, calm down and let me explain?" Ethan said pleadingly to Ella.
"Don't fucking tell me to calm down because this is getting messed up" Ella yelled.
"Look what we had was a one night stand and that was before we dated. I don't even know her and she was the one who seduced me"
"Why didn't you use a fucking condom?" Ella asked furiously.
"I was drunk that night to notice it and the next morning I made sure she took a goddamn emergency pills then I had to do a HIV test too" Ethan said glaring at her.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Rejoice asked glaring back at him
"Then why is she here claiming to be pregnant?" Ella asked impatiently.
"Who are you to him?" Rejoice asked Ella in an angry tone.
"I'm his wife bitch and you're not welcomed here" Ella replied making Ethan stare at her in awe.
"I'm still going to marry her anyways" Ethan thought Inwardly.
"Well, I'm with his baby and he's definitely going to marry me and divorce you" Rejoice said victoriously to Ella
"His baby? You fucking slut you better go look for the father of that baby and don't try to pin it on him" Ella said to Rejoice
"You're just jealous because..."
"Shut the fuck up and that's not my child so get out here this minute" Ethan yelled and she flinched.
"Of course, it is and I'm here to stay" Rejoice said and confidently sat on the one of the couches.
"I'm afraid you can't stay here" Gold finally spoke because she's been awfully silent ever since.
"And who are you?" Rejoice asked her disrespectfully.
"I'm his sister-in-law and we are going to the hospital right now to do a DNA test"
"How is that even possible? I see that you are pretty stupid to know that a DNA test can only be performed when the baby is out and until then I'm going to be living here" Rejoice sad fearlessly to Gold
