Chapter 138
He was looking so terrible and he reeked of alcohol.
He had dark circles beneath his eyes and his eyes looked red and sad.
His hair was disheveled and he tried to make it look better by raking it with his fingers.
“Dad, Irish’s going to be back” Arin said happily, rushing to him.
‘she’s fucking deceiving you!’
“Okay” Ethan said, putting on a smile for his daughter.
“I can’t believe this… she was feeling unwell before i left to get Ethan” Mrs Harlow said. “We were also surprised to see her recover while talking to Irish” Mr Harlow said. “Unbelievable” Mrs Harlow sighed.
“I guess there’s no need to get her treated anymore, she’s looking fine now” Doc Luc said.
“Carl, don’t ever put my daughter on the phone with her ever again okay?” Ethan said angrily. “Okay, Mr Ethan”Carl said.
“Ethan, you really need to chill okay?” Mr Harlow said.
“And why are you looking so terrible! Will you get your ass into your bathroom and have a clean bath, resume work and live like the man you are” Mrs Harlow said sternly.
“Look at you, looking like you lost three people in a day. She left you, fine, let her go. It’s her loss, get yourself together and stop drinking and crying like a cry baby” Mr Harlow said. “Arin, tell your dad to go have his bath, he’s stinking.” Mrs Harlow said to Arin.
“Uhm… you’re stinking dad, go have your bath” Arin said, pushing her dad out of her room with her little hands.
Ethan laughed.

“Okay, I’m back”Carl said to Irish over the phone.
He was sitting in his room.
“I hope Arin’s fine now?” Irish asked.
He had told her she was sick when she called to tell him she was fully settled into Morgan house.
“She’s fine now” Carl said.
“And how’s Ethan also?” She asked.
“He’ll be fine, though he seems not to take the news well, he looks shattered.
“OMG! My baby” Irish said, blinking back tears.
She feels so sorry for him.
“Do not worry about him for now, you need to fully concentrate on what you’re in that house for okay?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Okay” Irish said, keeping her emotions aside.
“I hope you’re in the toilet?”Carl asked.
“Yes, why do you insist i stay in the toilet to interact with you, i can stay in the room, no one’s going to hear me, besides they are both not home at the moment.”
“Morgan is a fucking dick! He might have installed a camera in your room.
“Camera?” Irish asked.
“Of course, you do not think he’ll trust you that easily right?”
“I was wondering too” Irish sighed.
“Listen, do not panic. First, you need to check your room thoroughly, the four corners, behind the curtain, the drawer, your closet, the bedside lamp, check every damn place and see if you’ll
find a camera. We need to be sure there’s no camera before proceeding with our plan” “Okay, I’ll be back” Irish said and disconnected the call.
She walked back into her room and started searching like Carl had said.
She searched for minutes and didn’t find anything, she was about giving up when she decided to check her bedside lamp and there it was!
Damnit!
She dropped on the bed, pretending not to see it cause she definitely know they’ll be watching her now.
“Where the hell is my bracelet” She sighed loudly, making whoever is watching her right now think she’s searching for her bracelet.
‘im in deep shit’ she said inwardly.
She sighed and sat up on the fluffy bed.
She looked round the room, Morgan really did a great job in making it look spectacular, it was the most beautiful room she has ever seen.
And how he knew one of her best colours was scarlet was still surprising to her.
She rarely tell anyone.
She stood up knowing she needs to tell Carl there’s a camera installed in her room.
She must have been so dumb to think Morgan would trust her easily.
He’s a smart and sneaky man.
Though she knows his love for her is genuine, she could feel it but he hadn’t allowed the love cloud his judgement.
He isn’t a weak man who can be easily tamed.
She’s not here to tame him though but to get what belongs to Ethan.
Carrle’s necklace.
Ethan might look happy on the outside but she knows he feels incomplete without the necklace. And he was always constantly thinking about it.
~if there’s anything i wish for most, it’s to get back Carrle’s necklace~ He had said to her.
And with all he had done for her and her family, helping him get back the necklace he so much cherished shouldn’t be too much.
She loves him so much and would do anything to make him feel happy and complete.
While she’s here for the necklace, she’ll make sure to get all Morgan’s bad deeds and also the spy who keeps supplying him information about them.
If she’s successful with her plan then Morgan will be heading to prison in five days.
She’s not sure it’ll be easy though, now she gat a steady camera on her.
She just got into the room this morning and she’s glad she hasn’t done anything suspicious. Carl was so wise to suggest she makes call in the bathroom.
Damn!
What if he has a camera installed in the bathroom also.
She walked into the bathroom and looked around carefully, the search for another camera went on for minutes and she was glad she didn’t find one.
She splashed water on her face and grabbed a towel which she wiped her face with.
She searched her pocket for her phone to call Carl and realized she left in the room.
She stepped back into her room and screamed as she saw Morgan sitting on her bed. “OMG! Did i startle you?” He asked gently.
“Ahh” Irish sighed in relief.
“You startled me” She said, walking closer to him.
She picked her phone beside him on the bed.
“You didn’t ask about my business meeting” Morgan smiled and something suddenly came to Irish’s mind.
She closed her eyes tightly and tried hard to remember the death of her father.
She bursted into tears and Morgan quickly got to his feet.
“What’s wrong?” He asked worriedly.
Irish continued crying and Morgan sat her down, he gazed down at her worriedly.
“What’s wrong darling?” He asked and Irish sniffed.
“I can’t believe you could do this” She said, wiping her tears with her palm.
“What?” Morgan asked, so scared she might have found out something unpleasant about him.”How could you install a camera in my room, you claim to love me but you don’t even trust me a bit and to think i was starting to love you” Irish said and sniffed as drops of tears fell from her eyes.
“OMG” Morgan sighed.
“I’m so sorry” He said, crouching before her.
He was so touched by her tears that his heart ache, this is so unusual of him.
And did she just said she’s starting to love him?
Gosh.. his heart felt like bursting.
“Irish, I’m so sorry. Its not me actually. Catherine suggested it, trust me, i have no hand in this. I trust you Irish”
“Really?”
“I swear”
“Then why did you allow her do it?” Irish asked.
“Catherine is obstinate, she does whatever she wants, i couldn’t have stopped her even if i wanted to but… how did you find out about the camera?” Morgan asked.
“I.. i was searching for my bracelet when i sighted it by the bedside lamp”
“I hope the love you’re starting to have for me hasn’t diminished yet cause thought i didn’t trust you?” Morgan asked hopefully.
“It almost did” Irish said.
“Gosh!” Morgan sighed.
“But now I’m sure you trust me and have no hand in it” Irish said.
” I’m going to order them to remove it right now.”
“Please do” Irish said.
” Hardin” Morgan called.
“Yes boss” Hardin opened the door and walked in.
He bowed.
