(Administration office)
Alright, continue having fun with the kid”
Stephan said and walked to his office chair.
“Are you jealous the kid is more handsome than you?
Jessica asked.
“No wonder you have stayed single for the past ten years now”
Beth burst into laughter.
” C’mon… That’s too much, Jessica”
“Am sorry, we are just cracking jokes here”
Jessica replied.
“I understand…
And am not going to stay anything”
Stephan said and looked at little Ethan busy with the phone game. He stares at him for a while.
“Jessica”
He called.
“What it is?
Jessica asked.
“Don’t think Lauren’s son takes a resemblance with the dead Ethan Baker?”
Stephan noticed and he sounded serious.
Beth and Jessica burst into laughter.
“Are you saying he is Ethan Baker’s kid?”
Beth asked.
“There is no way he could be his son… Have you forgotten Lauren was married to Alex before they conceived him?”
Jessica also said.
“Well, that’s what I saw and am just saying cos those faces resemble each other so much.
It’s like am seeing Ethan Baker in him”
Stephan said.
“Please, am going back to my office now before Mrs Ellie sees me here”
Beth stood up and wanted to walk out when little Ethan shouted “yes” happily.
Beth smiled and walked out.
“I guess he is enjoying his game”
“Aunty Jessica, I qualified for the next level”
He said to her. Jessica smiled at him.
Stephan looked at Jessica the way she looked at Ethan like her own kid.
“Are you planning to have your kid soon?
He asked.
“What? No…
Jessica replied immediately.
“Then, why are you looking at Ethan like you want him as your son”
Stephan asked.
Jessica realized Stephan just caught her by understanding her looks. She took a pen and threw it at him.
Stephan smiled as the pen hit him on the chest.
“Stay out of my business”
Jessica warned.

(Mr Georges’s residence)
Mr George just sat on the couch listening to the argument between his son and daughter. Jack was trying to come in and prevent further argument but nothing seemed to work.
Jack looked at Mr George who seems not to be worried. Bigger problems filled his mind.
He couldn’t get to believe there was someone still out there that is protecting Lauren and her family.
Not to talk about being powerful and smart.
“Who can that person be?
He asked himself.
“For a man to shame and outsmart me, George Quinn… No, I think someone powerful is behind him”
Jack sighed and went to sit down beside Mr George when he couldn’t stop the twin’s argument.
“Mr George”
Jack called.
“Is everything okay?
“Yeah, why are they filling my house with noises?”
Mr George asked.
“Twins fight, I guess”
Jack replied.
“I noticed you are in deep thought”
Mr George faces him.
“Who do you think is behind that mask?
“The man who came for Lauren’s kid?
Well, no one knows but I think he is a powerful and noble man. Twenty of his men surrounded us”
“Why is he protecting Lauren’s family?
Something isn’t right”…
Mr George said.
“Yeah, the only person who could have done that is Ethan Baker who died years ago”
Jack replied.
“Then who is he? Am going to find out who he is cos he is going to be a hindrance to all my plans. A huge hindrance”
He added and stood up ready to walk to his bedroom.
Alex walked in with a worried look. Everyone faces him. Luke and Lucy paused their arguments.
Mr George looks back.
“Is everything okay?
Jack asked.
Alex sighed and looked at everyone.
“I can’t believe you all left me to die there,
He started his complaints.
Lucy and Luke sigh.
“I was being shot and no one not even Jack, who I trust the most can help me”
He continues.
“Alex, am sorry about…
Jack said but his words were cut short by Alex.
“No, don’t talk yet…
Let me continue till I finish”
I was shot and left to die, I could have died if not for the police who came early and saved my life”
Let’s assume if the cops didn’t arrive in time and I bled to death, I would be dead by then, you guys are so wicked
I thought we were friends”
“Look,
Luke faced him.
“That’s how life works, you were a liability at that period and there is nothing we can do”
Mr George remains quiet.
Lucy also shrugged.
“Yeah, am sorry about that too, life goes on”
She said.
“What I was saying before I was interrupted by you, am sorry I left you.
We knew the cops were coming soon and if we decided to take you with us, it’s going to slow down our escape”
“What sudden escape?
Alex shouted at him.
“That’s enough…
Mr George said from a distance. He kept quiet for a second later and faced Alex.
“We knew what we did was wrong, we shouldn’t have done that and to show our apology, I made sure you got released from the police’s custody when we heard you were still alive and being arrested by the cops”
So… We owe each other nothing”
Alex swallows in saliva.
“Fine”
He muttered.
“When came in, you came in with a worried look, I noticed that, meaning something is bothering your mind.
What it is, tell us?
Jack asked.
“Yeah, about that…
Alex said.
“I think we have a bigger problem”
Everyone looked at him.
“What is it?
Lucy asked.
“I think Lauren’s son… Ethan Quinn
His father is back in town”
Alex dropped the news.
As soon as he said that, they all burst into laughter.
“Ain’t you his father? What type of joke is that?
Luke said.
“I don’t mean me, I mean his biological father.
The same man who came to save him is his father”
“What nonsense
Mr George yells out.
He walked to Alex.
“Are you trying to play and outsmart us here?”
“Am saying the truth, Mr George… After everyone left me to die, I saw the father’s feelings between him and Lauren’s son.
At that moment, I knew he was Ethan’s father”
Alex replied.
“Are you sure about that?
“Yeah,
Alex nodded.
“That’s the only reason he came to rescue Ethan”
Jack said.

~(Mr Ethan’s residence)~
Katherine and Ethan were having fun in the living room. Lauren and Katherine’s dad just watched them with smiles as they played and had fun together.
They sat on the diner table as they watched.
“You’ve never found time to find out about Ethan’s biological father”
Mr Ethan raised the question.
Lauren looked at him.
“Many people have asked me that question, and the only answer I give them is…
I want an easy and no-trouble life for my son”
“And why? Looking for his father doesn’t deprive him of that”
“Yeah, but digging up his father’s side might dig out some sad past I don’t want to re-experience”
She replied.
“Are you afraid of that?
Don’t you want to find out who his father is?
Mr Ethan asked. Lauren sighed and looked at him.
