Chapter 49: TAKE CARE ( MATURE CONTENT)
Jasmine brought back her hand that was frozen in the air. She had been really angry when Ethan threw her out of his house on that rainy day. She had called and called but he never picked as always, so she thought of coming to see him personally but got insulted by his secretary instead.
The make up on her face had darkened because of her anger but Peter didn’t care at all. He hated Jasmine just like everyone one else because she was a desperate woman who keeps getting rejected but would still come back. She really didn’t know when to stop.
"Please leave. As you can see, I was busy with something when you barged in and I am still busy right now so I can’t entertain your lunatics anymore", he spat out and faced the computer screen.
Jasmine fisted her hand so tightly that her knuckles turned white. "Don’t your forget that you are just a secretary..."
"....but you can’t fire me." Peter completed the sentence.
"I am going to tell Ethan how you have disrespected me today and I will make sure that he fires you from your job. You will pay", she vexed out and turned her heels to leave. Peter only shook his head and continued working on his laptop. He wasn’t scared of Jasmine because just like Ethan, Cassandra and the three brothers of the Walters, he also saw her like she was a witch.
"Everything was going just fine until she came to pollute the environment with her maniac self", Peter huffed.
Jasmine walked out of the building in a fit of rage. She was called so many names by Peter but couldn’t even talk back at him. She had come wanting to see Ethan but received insults instead. It was totally a waste.
Jasmine got out of the building to return to the Davis Mansion. Her father was already waiting for her in the living room, hoping to receive a pleasant news from her but when he heard her stomping her feet so hard on the ground, he realized that he shouldn’t expect anything positive.
"Dad, Ethan was not in his office", she nearly cried, making the old man glare at her with distaste.
Mr Davis grabbed his walking stick for support in order to stand up. "What do you mean?" He questioned her.
Jasmine slummed on the couch tiredly before replying, "His secretary, peter said he wasn’t in his office. I even got insulted by that mere secretary, can you believe that?"
"I don’t care about that. You have to continue searching for Ethan".
Jasmine’s mouth opened wide due to her father’s remark. He didn’t care?
Jasmine gathered her emotions before saying, "But dad, I can still get married to another rich man who can help revive our company. It doesn’t have to be Etha....."
PAK!!!
Jasmine wasn’t given the chance to complete that name as she suddenly felt her cheek go numb. She held her cheeks in her hand and stared at her father with wide eyes.
"You are going to have to get married to Ethan, do you hear me?!" Mr Davis yelled at his daughter.
Mrs Davis who was with the servants, preparing for their dinner rushed out to go stand by her daughter’s side when she heard the loud sound. "What are you doing, Jasper?" She questioned her husband.
Mr Davis pointed a threatening finger at Jasmine and barked,
"You’d better put some sense into this daughter of yours. She is going to get married to Ethan and I will make sure of it. You are going to do everything I tell you to do that you will be able to snatch Ethan from Erika, do you hear me?!"
Jasmine, whose tears had turned her eyes blurry slowly shook her head and softly mumbled, "Yes dad".
Mr Davis snorted and left the mansion to go visit his old "friend" while Mrs Davis attended to her daughter.

"It’s really beautiful", Erika commented when she saw the garden of the new house. It has already been filled with different types of flowers that has different colors which made it look unreal.
"Do you like it?" Ethan asked, whose hand was over her shoulder that Erika was fondling with.
"I love it", Erika replied. "But isn’t it too big for just the both of us?"
"Well... it won’t be the two of us forever", Ethan said scratching his head and Erika blushed. "If it wasn’t too soon, I would love to marry you today".
Erika turned speechless. Her heart skipped a beat because of what he had just uttered. She didn’t know how to reply to him because it was indeed too soon to get married.
"We will get married someday, I promise". Ethan smiled at her reply and grabbed her hand to show her other parts of the house. "Wait...I just remembered something", she suddenly stopped.
"What is that?"
"How are you going to be working if you are going to stay here with me for the meantime?" She asked worriedly.
"Don’t worry about that, Peter will be sending the files to me on my computer and if any emergency comes, I will go there to settle it although I don’t think there is anything he can’t handle there", Ethan replied with full confidence.
Peter had started in the company as an intern and with his capabilities, he was able to climb to the top to be the secretary of the CEO in less that 2 years. Ethan had complete trust in him. If only Peter could hear what Ethan was saying about him now, he would probably shed tears because Ethan has never complimented him before.
"But when you are done here, we could go back to New York. I have another house there", Ethan suggested while they entered the master bedroom they would be sharing.
"You have another house there? I thought you lived at the main mansion", Erika was a little shocked to know that he had another house.
"I go there sometimes when I miss my family", Ethan replied genuinely. He came beside Erika and hugged her from behind. He bit into her earlobe and whispered seductively, "This is where we will be making our babies".
In a blink of an eye, Erika’s face turned as red as a tomato. Ethan can really be too brazen about some things, she thought to herself.
"How many do you want?" Ethan asked pecking her cheek this time. "I am thinking about a whole soccer team".
Erika freed herself quickly from Ethan’s embrace when she heard him. A whole soccer team?
"WHAT?! A whole soccer team? Are you planning on turning me into a baby machine", she blurted. Wasn’t eleven children just too much?
HAHA!!! Ethan laughed so hard.
"Hey! What is so funny?" She asked.
"You should have seen your face when I said a whole soccer team. Relax, I was just joking", he said trying to control himself as he wiped away the tears that formed in his eyes due to laughing so hard.
"That was not funny, stop laughing", Ethan tired to keep his mouth shut.
He grabbed Erika’s hands when she was about to leave and pulled her close to him. "I have stopped now. But I really do not mind if we end up having eleven children because I will make sure to love you every day" and he captured her lips to stop her from speaking.
