Chapter 12

Mia POV

"What the fuck is this?" I stood up with anger within me, just looking at the nan who looked at me without a sign of surprise within him.

No word from him at that point until Sarah walked in with my baby.

"Sir, this Sarah and her daughter." I dragged my baby away from her at that second.

"Sarah, what the meaning of all this?" I asked with an arrogant glance to her.

"We are United once more," the young man exclaimed with much excitement within him.

I looked at what was actually happening there in the office. It all looks like another bad kiss-ass novel, which was bad for me to be involved.

"Seems you both are crazy," I chuckled with me holding my baby much tighter. "Excuse me," I tried pushing my way through but got restricted by Sarah.

"I'm Ethan Joshua and we both met countless times," he smiled as he got closer to me.

I ignored him with a carefree look at that point.

"Can I please leave?" I asked with a calm voice.

"That's not a problem," Ethan smiled, giving a slight bow to me.

I approached the door to discover it was already jammed from behind, which made me turn back to look at my both rivals.

"What do you want, Ethan?" After much trial on pushing the door hard, I had no choice but to ask.

"You and the baby," I hissed as I spat to the floor.

"Over my dead body would I accept that rubbish?" I gave my words much like a remarkable word.

Ethan smiled,enjoying my frustration already.

"Oh, Mia. You're so good looking. I like that about you."

I glared at him, my grip on my baby tightening with fear within myself.

. "What do you want, Ethan? Spit it out." I asked.

"We want to be a family, since you already have my baby," Sarah chimed in, inti ethan words.

"I think this family and I should stay off," Sarah said.

"Take the keys," Ethan reached out to hand over a key to her.

My heart raced fast with my babies looking so fragile.

"You expect me to believe that? After all you have to me?"

Ethan shrugged as Sarah walked out, keeping me with wet eyes.

"I made mistakes, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it right." Ethan exclaimed.

. "Save it, Ethan. I'm not buying it."

The door behind me creaked open as I gazed, and it turned out to be a tall, imposing figure standing in the doorway.

His appearance was good, looking like a white collar worker.

"Ah, perfect timing," Ethan said, a smile spreading across his face.

"Whose this?" I asked myself.

"Meet our lawyer, Kate. He'll explain everything."

My heart sank as the lawyer approached me, a nice look on his face. I knew I was in trouble already.

"Hey, take a few steps backwards," I commanded.

" Sorry!"

He brought out his black suitcase, placing it on the table.

"So, Mia," I interrupted.

"Go straight to the point," I commanded again.

" Okay"

"Your family," I just didn't give a chance for talking.

"What did they do?" I asked.

"Can you just shut up?" Ethan said with a camel voice.

"Spare me," I hissed.

The lawyer cleared his throat, just to get over the tension in the room.

"As I was saying, Mia, your family...well," he paused, "they're not exactly what you'd call conventional." His cleared his throat.

I raised an eyebrow, giving a nasty expression with a grip on my baby tightening. "What do you mean?"

The lawyer hesitated, glancing at Ethan before continuing, to which he smiled.

"They're... iinvolved in certain activities though.".

" Activities? What do you mean by that?" I asked questions after questions.

"Activities that could put you and your baby in danger." He responded.

"What do you mean?" I looked to Ethan.

"Why looking at me?" Ethan threw his face away.

"How do you expect me to believe that? " I chuckled slightly.

"I know my family isn't perfect, so you're just trying to scare me."

The lawyer sighed, pulling out a folder from his suitcase.

"I have proof, Mia. Proof that your family is involved in some very shady dealings with the Ethan family." I just didn't look shocked.

I rolled my eyes, but a small part of me was curious. What could my family possibly be involved in that would put me and my baby in possible danger?

"Show me," I said finally, my voice barely above a whisper with my inner self filled with thoughts.

The lawyer handed me the folder, and I opened it, my eyes scanning the contents. My heart sank as I saw the evidence, my mind racing quickly.

Ethan smiled, a carefree look on his face.

"You see, Mia," I interrupted.

"I have gotten enough, so I want to go," I protested.

"Do you know we're not the only ones with secrets? Our family has secrets too, secrets that could destroy everything you hold dear." Ethan smiled

My heart raced as I looked up at Ethan with fascination and my mind racing with questions. What did he want from me? And what did my family have to do with any of this he was actually talking about?

"Okay, what else do you have to say apart from gliberrish?".

"Our night was an arranged one; I was also on some drugs."
