282 CHAPTER 282: SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER

His knuckles turned white as a result of gripping the steering wheel hard.

Clement was driving back to his house just after meeting with Alex. He was beyond mad of what Ethan did and how Alex reacted. He did his best to conceil what he did, even threatening the Kersey's. So how did Ethan know?

He clench his teeth in annoyance. What if the Kersey's tells them about the whole truth as well? He needs to see the old couple. If he needs to kill them to hide the truth then he will. He smirked.

'' You asked for this Alex, huh!'' He derided within.

After a few more minutes, he thought about his friend. So he took his phone out and dialed Clement's number.

'' Where are you?'' He asked the old man when he answered his phone.

'' At the Casino, why?'' The old man replied.

'' I'll be there in a few minutes.''

'' Oh, why the sudden? You seems upset?'' The old man chuckled.

'' I need to talk to you.''

'' About what?''

'' You want to get a hold of Alex, correct?''

'' Aha..'' the old man leaned back on his chair as he traces his jaw in awe. Clement seemed like he changed his mind from what they originally planned before. He smirked.

'' I will help you. I will bring her to you.'' He spoke sternly.

'' Oh... ha-ha! what made you changed your mind? I thought you love that woman?'' The old man was mocking him.

'' Love? Tsk!'' He scoffed. '' What's the use of loving someone who doesn't feel the same way?''

'' Ha-ha! I told you many times, right?'' The old man is still laughing

'' Shut up.'' He scowled..

'' Okay, okay, fine. I'll just be here whenever you need me.'' Then the old man hung up.

'' Alex... I told you to choose wisely.'' He tighten his grip on the steering wheels then he speed up.

Meanwhile, Zoren put his phone back on his pocket then stared at the young man in front of him.

'' I'm sorry... where were we again?''

'' the woman had already left the apartment and moved at Ethan's house---''

'' Oh, so she already seeked his help, huh.'' The old man was seemingly iin deep thought.

'' And also, according to my source, they seemed to be planning of something since an army was seen at the hotel.''

'' what? An army?!'' Zoren suddenly creased his brow.

'' Yes Sir.''

Then he chuckled mockingly. '' really? Then I guess they are on the move already.'' He was tracing his jaw with his finger. '' Okay, let's wait and see what they've got then.'' His tone was challenging.

Meanwhile, the woman's shocked expression is not new to Ethan. Of course, who wouldn't be surprise to hear something unbelievable.

"Yes... Miracle is OUR daughter. I am her biological father." Ethan uttered.

Alex raised her brow mockingly as she look into the man's eyes. She twitched her lips unbelievingly.

"Ethan, will you stop joking. Your not funny anymore." She chuckled.

"Alex... I am not joking." Then he stood up and went to get something on the table. It was a white envelope.

He took the paper inside it and hand it to her.

As soon as Alex read what was written on it, she held her breath in awe.

DNA TEST? Positive?! since when did he do it?

"She is our daughter.... You were pregnant when you fell on the cliff. Everybody thought you died three years ago even though we hadn't found your body in the ocean." Ethan explained.

"S-so basically, t-the woman in your story..."

"It was you." Ethan uttered. "And your name real name is Aisha."

Alex chuckled frantically. "N-no... T-that's nonsense!"

"I know it seems impossible. But you'll know that I am telling the truth once you meet your parents and twin sister."

"Parents? Twin sister?"

"Yes. And the people you saw last night... My grandpa, Shawn and Rio... They all know you. Especially Rio..."

Then suddenly the woman remembered what Rio said about her daughter.

"Mr. Rio... Is he..."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"Your father." Ethan was about to speak when they heard a familiar voice who had just entered the door.

Rio!

The woman went speechless.

" I am sorry for intruding. I was passing by when I heard you. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just that the door was wide opened." Rio uttered.

Then he stared at the shocked woman.

"Alex... I know it's too much for a revelation, but you must know that you grew up in my care. That's the reason why you were able to beat those men in your apartment." Rio explained.

"Eh?" The woman suddenly yelped. What do they mean?

"You grew up surrounded by Mafia's. I trained you myself that's why you know how to fight." He furthered.

"Eh?" Still shocked.

'' I know its hard to imagine and everything is probably diffficult to grasp as of the moment. But Ethan is right, you'll understand once you meet the other member of the family. For now, let's settle Zoren first.'' Rio continued.

Alex fell silent for a while. Looks like she was trying to sort all the information that she had received today. What a blow!

'' Alex... or if we could call you Aisha now.'' Rio stared at her eyes. '' we are not forcing you to accept everything, but I hope you'll give us a chance to prove ourselves to you...and to our Mira.'' Rio furthered while Ethan smiled to agree with what Rio had just said.

She couldn't answer them for now. But she tried to forced a smile to let them know she understands there point.

Rio smiled back. A piece of his burden suddenly lifted within him. This is one step closer to her. Hope it will soon heal his guilt.

After a few more minutes of having a heart-to-heart talk, Rio left the two to sort whatever they need to sort.

''Mom, what are you doing?'' Jane asked when she saw the woman packing some stuffs on her luggage. '' Are you going somewhere?''

Cherry smiled at her. '' I am planning to surprise your father in Estrella.''

'' Your going today?''

'' No not today. I still need to see the host of the event for the annual mascarade party to plan our surprise for Ethan's birthday.''

Jane lit up. Yeah, she has forgotten that they have planned to surprise Ethan on his birthday.

Since Aisha's death, everyone knew how Ethan struggled and how he punishd himsef by not marrying nor courting anyone else. Rio and Cherry had been encouraging him to forget about their daughter already but looks like he was still on the process of moving on.

Jane, at first, only considers him as a brother, but as months and years passes by, she had unknowingly fell for him. Ethan treats her as a younger sister, but unknown to anyone, the young lady had already fallen in love with him.

Though she knew how Aisha loved the man base on her stories before, when they were on the Island... guess she started liking the man that day. And when she finally saw him and was able to stay beside him for who knows how many times, the man is definitely someone that anyone would die having for.

Anyway, Aisha is gone now. Not that she wanted that to happen but unfortunately, she died. She loves Aisha since she was the first one who treated her well. She became her big sister as well and she grieeved when she's gone. That's why she promised her that she will do her best to make Rio and Cherry happy when they decided to adopt her.

And also, she had decided to make Ethan and Eli happy as long as she's alive. That's the reason why she had never bothered to entertain any of her suitors till now.

'' You're coming on his birthday party, right?'' Cherry asked to make sure that Jane doesn't have any schedule next week.

'' Of course mom! It's Ethan's birthday! I should be there.'' She was smiling wide.

Cherry paused for a minute or two but suddenly lit up after. She had just notice that Jane's not calling the man brother anymore, unlike in the past. She's a woman too, so she knew what those eyes were trying to imply. She likes the man--- oh no, she doesn't only like him... she loves him!

But Cherry knew it's futile for Jane to have that feeling towards Ethan since she knew that Ethan only sees her as a younger sister. Furthermore, Ethan wil never see her as a woman!

Is it okay to let her be? Or should she reproach her as early as now?

Then Cherry heaved a silent sigh. Maybe she'll be able to let go of her feelings once Ethan marries another woman. She only hope that it won't shatter Jane's heart.
