Chapter 33
Ethan sighed and raked unsteady fingers through his hair .
He knows someone is after him and that means they’ll hurt people close to him too. He won’t forgive himself if any of his workers get hurt or killed just because of him.
Who the hell is after his life again!
“The cops are on their way with two FBI agents” Carl said. “Good!” Ethan said.
“None of you should spill what happened to Arin or anyone” Ethan said and Alex and Carl nodded.
“I’m sure you have other patients to attend to, we’ll be at the reception” Ethan said, rising to his feet.
“You should stay here, you know you’re a public figure. I won’t want you causing hullabaloo in the hospital” Doc Luc aughed.
“Carl get my sunglass and face cap from my car” Ethan said and Carl left quickly.

“Tell the cops to hold on. We have to get home before discussing” Ethan said to Alex who came to inform him that the cops were around.
“Okay Mr Ethan” Alex said and walked outside.
Ethan was seated in the reception disguised in his face cap and sunglass. His head was bent and he had told his bodyguards to stay outside.
He’s so worried even after knowing she’s fine.
He can’t just wait for her to be awake so she can tell him she’s truly fine.
He have to be super at alert now.
Especially with Arin, if things get worst then she’ll be homeschooling .
“She’s awake” Ethan heard and glanced up. Doc Luc was smiling in front of him. “Really?” Ethan rose to his feet.
“Yeah, come with me” Doc Luc said.
“Do you recognize the shooter?” An FBI agent asked Alex. “Damn well! I’d recognize him anywhere” Alex said.
They were now at home and he was discussing with the cops outside. He was filling them in on the incidence.
Other workers looked on curiously, not knowing what was going on.
Ethan walked out, he’s changed into house wear.
He had watched Irish sleep in her room before coming to join the cops. She’s still weak and Luc said all she needs is rest.
Ethan is so glad she’s fine, he had almost hugged her when he saw her awake.
“How is it going?” Ethan asked ~approaching them. “We sent the bullet to the lab already” A cop said.
“We’ll check out the CCTV footage of the street which the incident happened and we’ll get back to you Mr Ethan” an FBI agent said.
“Okay, thanks so much, you may leave now” Ethan said.
Arusha sat in class, completely lost.
What happened yesterday kept replaying in his head.
*Flashback*
“So would you like to come with me now?” The man repeated and Arusha nodded. He followed the man with his heart beating fast.
“What had happened to Irish?” He thought fearfully.
“Did something happened?”Arusha asked but the man didn’t respond. He was almost forced to go back but this is about his sister..
His sister!
The only one he loves most in the world .
The creepy man turned into a street and Arusha followed. Is he doing the right thing?
Following a stranger cause he mentioned his sister? And he hadn’t even mentioned Irish’s name.
Arusha suddenly stopped walking and the man noticed that immediately. He turned to him.
“Why did you stop?” The man asked.
“What’s my sister’s name?” Arusha said, prepared to run if he mentions the wrong name. “Irish Levine working as a nanny for Ethan Harlow’s daughter ” The man said.
It’s really his sister!
“Can we go now?” The man asked.
“What happened to her?” Arusha asked but again the man ignored him and he had no choice but to keep following him.

He was surprised he was taken to a bear where he met Morgan Harlow.
This will be the first time she’ll be seeing him face to face. “But he doesn’t look nice” Arusha noticed.
“I offered your sister to sponsor your education and pay for your dad’s debt but she refused” Morgan Harlow said, toying with his glass cup of wine.
“So?” Arusha asked.
He doesn’t want to think about the fact that his father was no more but the debt was still there and again there’s his mother’s surgery’s bill to focus on too.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“She chose that nanny job over my great offer” Morgan said and even if Arusha was just seeing him for the first time, he can see that cruel look on his face.
“Why did you gave her the offer out of the blue?” Arusha asked. The bodyguards surrounding them was almost choking him.
“Cause i want her to leave My Brother’s house” Morgan puffed out smoke from his cigarette. “Why?” Arusha asked.
“Quit the foolish questions boy and have your drink” Morgan said. “I’m fine, why did you want me here? ” He asked.
“To convince your sister of course, i found out you guys are quite close” Morgan grinned. “Well, i can’t” Arusha said.
“What do you mean you can’t? Just convince her to leave that job and you’ll get something in return too” Morgan winked.
” I can’t convince Irish cause she can’t be forced to do what she doesn’t want to” Arusha said. “Really?” Morgan’s face grew angry.
“Yes” Arusha said.
“That means you can’t convince her!” “Yes”
“Then you should accept the fact that she’ll be in danger starting from now!” Morgan threatened and Arusha looked lost..
*
He had cried on his way home knowing all this was his father’s fault.
If he had forgiven Irish and they’ve both lived like a family, all this won’t have happen. Irish won’t have left home. And now, her life was in danger.
He and her mother will be moving out from Singapore to California tomorrow. He’ll get to meet his sister as often as possible and can also protect her
It’s quite obvious there’s a feud between the two brothers, Morgan and Ethan. Morgan had looked like a desperate person.
He can do anything.
He had sent Arusha out of the bar and he had to start trekking. Knowing Irish is in danger really made him sick.
But, Did Morgan travelled all the way from California to Singapore just to tell him this? He was worried.
~End of flashback~
“Arusha, you haven’t answered the question i posed to you” Mrs Maxine, the English teacher said.
“Huh?” Arusha asked.
“Did she just asked him something?” He wondered until one of the girls crushing on him whispered the answer to him.
“After what happened today, i realised that just one bodyguard is not enough, you guys safety matters a lot. Another bodyguard will be joining you Carl” Ethan said.
He was in the living room with Irish, Alex and Carl while Javad and one other bodyguard stood behind him.
“Javad, you’ll be the one to join Carl” Ethan announced. Tbc
