~(Lauren’s residence)~
(A Saturday)
Lauren sat down on the couch caressing Ethan’s hair when a knock came on the door.
“Oh Gosh… Is Ellie that fast?
“Aunty Ellie is coming to visit us?
Ethan asked.
“Yeah, I will take the door, you go to your room.
I need some time alone with her”
“Alright, mom…
He stood up from the couch.
“But, can I go visit Katherine in the evening?
“Am sorry you can’t…
Her dad and I haven’t been in a good time for now”
Lauren replied and walked towards the door.
Ethan sighed and walked to his bedroom.
Lauren opened the door and saw an unusual face.
It’s Marcel.
Marcel smiled at her.
Lauren looked at him closely.
“You must be Marcel, right?
Lauren asked.
Marcel nodded.
“What are you doing here? How do you know my place?”
” Well, have been here several times for me to know your place…
Can I come in?
“No,
Lauren said almost immediately.
“Why?
“Ellie isn’t here…
“Oh… Ellie
He smiles.
“Am not here to see her, am here to see you”
So please can I come in?
Lauren looked at him for a while before opening the door widely for him to enter.
Marcel smiled and looked around the house.
“Wow… Everything still looks the same.
Nothing had changed”
Marcel said.
Lauren folded her arms as she looked at him.
“What do you mean?
And you have you have been here several times”
“Yeah, I have…
I guess you are giving me an unwelcome feeling, you can’t even offer me a seat”
“Oh am sorry…
You can have a seat”
Lauren faked a smile at him and also sat down.
“So why are you here?
Marcel looked at him.
“Don’t you recognize me from anywhere?
“No, I don’t,
Except that, I knew you were my son’s class teacher”
Lauren replied.
“Wow, I guess six years has changed me a lot
How is Ethan by the way?”
“He is fine, he is in his bedroom I guess…
And I heard you saved him from those hands of the kidnappers at school”
Thanks for that”
“Yeah, I did…
And I heard he was kidnapped the second time again”
“Yes, but the cops saved him”
Lauren replied.
“So, who do you think is behind his kidnapping? ”
“Am sorry, I wouldn’t like to talk about that, it’s opening up fresh wounds”
Lauren said.
“I understand.
Marcel smile.
“So you don’t recognize me as anyone else apart from Ethan’s class teacher?
“Yeah.
Lauren shrugged.
“Is that why you are here to find out if we had met somewhere?”
“Not precisely, but yes..”
Marcel replied.
Marcel stood up and sat beside Lauren on the other couch. He held her hand as she watched him.
“What are you doing?
Lauren asked.
Little Ethan walked into the living room.
“Mom, I can’t have a bath in the bathroom. The water isn’t rushing out anymore”
Ethan said and looked up to see Marcel with Lauren.
“Dad…
Ethan shouted happily and rushed to him. Marcel smiled and carried him up in his arms.
Lauren opened her mouth surprised.
“Hey, Ethan…
Marcel caresses his cheeks.
Ethan smiled and hugged him.
“I miss you, dad”
“Yeah… Did you know you just broke our secret?
You called me dad in front of your mom”
Marcel said.
Lauren wanted to talk but lost her voice. Words are not coming out.
“Am sorry, Dad…
I can’t help it”
“What’s going on here?
Lauren finally found her words. She had a shocked look on her face.
Marcel dropped him down.
“You can go back to your bedroom, am coming to fix the water problem in your bathroom.
Let me talk with your mother”
Ethan nodded and walked back inside. Marcel smiled and walked to Lauren who was still in shock.
“Do you remember me now?
Marcel asked.
“Ethan Baker”
Lauren said with tears flowing down freely from her eyes.
Marcel nodded and hugged her.
Lauren cried on his shoulder.
“How is it possible you are alive? How did you do it?
“Long story, babe.
Am here, well and alive today”
Marcel replied.
Lauren looked at his face. Now she just noticed the resemblance with Ethan Baker.
“Am sorry for everything”
Marcel began.
“Ever since I was taken away from you and my son, I haven’t known peace.
I was just waiting for the day I will come forward boldly and take back what is mine”
I was forced to watch you all grow up for six years without being able to touch you or feel you, to be there for you in hard times, comfort you”
When I heard my son was involved in an accident, I was terrified. I have a fear that I could lose him”
“Wait, Wait…
Lauren stopped him trying to get something straight.
“Were you the anonymous who donated blood for Ethan at the hospital? ”
“Yes, I heard his blood type is rare and I am the only one who can donate blood to save his life”
Marcel replied.
Lauren burst into more tears.
Every good thing that happened was because of him.
“Like I said, am sorry…
No, you don’t have to be sorry, you saved our son’s life”
Lauren replied.
“Yeah, and one more thing, Lauren.
There was a time when news got to me that you don’t want to forget the past. The past about me has been holding you back and it’s affecting you negatively.
So, I decided to go with the idea of making another ethan baker for you”
The Mr Ethan who you know about, his real name isn’t Ethan Baker. I had his name changed for you”
“Wait what?
Did you know about Mr Ethan? And all his date with me?

~(Harry’s apartment)~
(11am)
Harry and Jemmy were on the bed. Harry was still asleep. Jemmy took a glance at him every five seconds.
Jemmy smiled as she watched him open his eyes.
“Wakie, wake”
“Hey,…
Harry muttered and took his phone from the table beside his bed to check the time.
“Omg, it’s 11 am?
“Yeah… Just thank your stars it’s the weekend”
Jemmy replied.
“I had a long sleepless night, am sorry”
Harry said.
“What were you doing during the night?
“I was just… Harry couldn’t finish his statement”
He sighs.
Jemmy looked at him.
“Please don’t tell me you stay up finding another way to solve the current problem, Mr George’s case”
“Yeah…
I promised never to give up on Ethan Baker”
“Harry…
That doesn’t mean you should deprive yourself of sleep”
“Am sorry, I just had a lot on my mind”
He replied.
“It’s okay… But next time don’t do that without me”
Jemmy said and they both laughed. She drew his head closer and kissed him.
“So, is there any breakfast?
Harry said.
“Yeah, there is but first, what do you think of enjoying my breakfast”
Jemmy smiled and went on top of him.
“Oh gosh, Jimmy…
She shut him up with another kiss.
“Okay?
Since you asked for it, you can have it”
Harry said as he held her waist.

~(Back at Lauren’s residence)~
Lauren and Marcel stared at each other for a while after he explained everything.
“I don’t know if I should be thanking you right now”
You saved my son many times”
“Our son…”
Marcel corrected her.
Lauren smile.
“Am sorry…
How did you know you were the father?” Cos I don’t remember we having sëx anytime since we met”
“It’s a long story”
There was a time when I was still wayward and a bad kid. Together with my sister, I love parties a lot.
Every night was a party night at our place.
We changed after our parents died. Parties every day.
A day came when my sister went on an outing so I hosted a party alone that night with Harry.
The next morning when my sister came back….

“Wake up, sleepyhead…
It’s morning already”
Hannah shouted at him as she walked into their small apartment.
She looked everywhere and the whole room was messy and scattered.
Empty bottles, red cups, and weed papers were scattered all over.
“Did you have a party here last night?”
Hannah asked.
Ethan groaned and yawned stretching out his arms.
“Morning Hannah”
He managed to say.
“Really? Ethan…
I thought I said no parties”
“Am sorry, I only organized a small party and invited just a few friends over, I was surprised almost the whole city of London came”
Ethan replied with a sorry look on his face.
Hannah scoffs and walks to the kitchen. She stepped on a small red bottle some syringes and injection.
“Do you guys use drugs?
Were you high last night?”
Hannah seems angry.
“Oh busted…
Ethan muttered and slam his face.
“Just a little, sorry”
Hannah buried her face in her palm sadly.
“Oh gosh,
How I wish Mom and Dad were alive to see this?”
She said as she came out of the kitchen.
“Am sorry sis,
I just decided to throw a little party”
I didn’t know it would lead to this”
Ethan shrugged.
“Just clean this place up…
Am going for my shift”
She replied and grabbed her coat jacket from the couch before walking out.
Ethan sighed and stood up from the bed. He looks around the room.
“What happened last night?
He suddenly asked himself and his eye caught a drop of blood on the ground.
“I guess someone got an injury during the party”
He muttered and later shrugged.
“Who cares”
He took his phone and checked the time.
“Oh Sh|t, am late for my interview”
He said and suddenly rushed to the bathroom. He rushed in and undressed to take a shower and noticed he had some remains of discharge on his body.
“Did I have sëx with someone at the party? ”

“That night was the night my dad came with a doctor. I was very drunk and I couldn’t remember anything.
Marcel continues.
My dad said I mate with Mr Quinn’s daughter at the party, and we are both drunk.
At that moment I knew it was you”
“And then how come I don’t remember going to a party?
I knew I went straight home that night after sucking up my problems I lost my parents with some drinks.
Lauren asked.
” I don’t know either…
Maybe you were drunk”
“Yes, I was but I made sure I went straight home and landed on my bed.

(Flashbacks)
~That night at the party~
Everywhere was loud with music. Ethan just sat down as he sipped down every content of his drink.
A lady came to him and crashed on his lap.
“Finally, am home…
On my sweet bed”
Lauren said with a smile drunkenly caressing his lap.
“Hey, lady.
This is my house”
Ethan replied.
🧩🎲🧩🎲
“My dad had to make sure you are taken care of and got cleaned up after the party.
And his drivers drove you home like nothing happened”
Marcel said.
“Now, I understand…
That was the night I got disvirgined without having the feeling I had had sëx once”
Lauren replied.
Marcel nodded.
“Do my parents and your dad know each other?
“Yes…
My dad and yours were best of friends”
They were involved in an accident together caused by Mr George.
My parents and your parents were both inside the car.
But my dad survived while my mom and your parents died”.
Tears were already on both of their faces.
“My dad decided to take revenge secretly and quietly, while Hannah and I, thinking our both parents were dead decided to live an isolated life but I said no…
Am going to find out who killed my parents”
“Then you saw me also grieving my parents and decided to…
“Yeah, that’s the first thing that drew me to you”
Marcel cut her words short. He hugged her.
“But, am back now… And my dad had promised to take them all down once and for all”
He added.
TBC…
