Chapter 38

Mia POV
 
"Andrew, how dare you sue Ethan for murder?" My eyes are blazing with anger.
 
He looked at me, and we both looked at each other.
 
"Mia, I did that for us both," he smiled, making me laugh out loud at his statement.
 
"Andrew, I never loved you, and I can never love you," he interrupted.
 
"But we both loved each other when we started this."
 
"Ehh, Andrew, that our past, you can't drag our past into the present," I said with some look.
 
"Why do you keep saying it's our past, Mia?" he asked as he drew himself closer to me.
 
"Don't you dare," I said.
 
"What do you think I wanted to do?" he laughed.
 
"I just don't care about that, Andrew; all I want now is for you to bring down that court case," I said to him rudely.
 
"And I am trying to tell you that I can't possibly do what you ask of me, Mia," his hands going around my face as he said those words.
 
"Andrew, just know that I'm not going to let you bully me again," I said, my voice firm and aggressive. 
 
"I've done nothing wrong, and neither has Ethan. You're just trying to hurt us because you're jealous and you want me back in your life." I spat at him quickly after my words to him, which just made him look for anger.
 
Andrew's face turned red with a rage of raging anger at this apex point. 
 
"Jealous? You think I'm jealous of you and your precious lover, Ethan? You're the one who's jealous, Mia. You're jealous of the fact that I'm not afraid to fight for what I want; you are afraid that I would get you back into my life." He chuckled, adding some evil spice to his statement.
 
"I'm not afraid to fight for what I want either, Andrew," I said, my eyes locked on his with me grinning my teeth.
 
"And what I want is for you to leave us alone and give my new family peace."
 
Andrew sneered and sniffed at the same time.
 
"You're not going to get what you want, Mia. I'm going to make sure of it, and these are my words: ."
 
With those words, he turned and stormed out of the room, leaving me feeling shaken and angry at this point. I couldn't believe the nerve of that man and his newly formed attitude just to get me back into his life.
 
As I sat there for some time, trying to calm down, I heard a voice behind me, which snapped me out of my thinking. 
 
"Mia, are you okay?" It was Ethan. 
 
"How did he get me here?" I quickly asked myself.
 
I turned to him, feeling a wave of relief wash over me the second I set my eyes on him.
 
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said. "Just a little shaken up, and I would be better."
 
Ethan came over and sat down beside me with a smirk. 
 
"What actually happened?" he asked, his eyes full of concern for me.
 
I told him everything that had just happened with Andrew. Ethan listened intently, his face growing more and more angry. The rage of anger within him was clearly visible to anyone.
 
"Don't worry about all this, Mia," he said when I finished with his teeth also grinning.
 
"I'm going to take care of all this like a real man. Andrew's not going to bother us again, I promise you." I looked into his eyes with no words to him but just looking.
 
Then I just smiled, feeling grateful for Ethan's support at this point, but I am still not sure if Ethan could be able to fight Andrew. I know Andrew is a strong guy, and Ethan, on the other side, is just one cool and gentle young man.
 
"Thanks, Ethan. I don't know what I'd do without you at this point." I smilied.
 
Ethan put his arm around me and pulled me close to him. 
 
"You'll never have to find out, Mia. I'm here for you, always and forever."
 
We sat there in silence for a moment, enjoying each other's company and slowly taking away the old thoughts from our minds.
 
Then Ethan spoke up after a few minutes of open pleasure.
 
"Mia, I think I have an idea. Why don't we take a trip? Just the two of us and no one else. We can get out of here and forget about all this drama with Andrew and have some rest of mind." He smiled at me, saying these words.
 
I thought about it for a moment. It sounded like a great idea to me, and it would be great.
 
"HHmmmm" I reacted to him.
 
"So, what's your answer to this?" I continued to smile at this point with no reply.
 
"Maybe when we get home, I will give you my answer." I smiled.
 
"Okay, that's no problem." As soon as we both smiled over the issue, one of the enthusiastic waiters walked into the room.
 
"Sorry for interrupting, sir and ma'am, but the money you paid for here would soon expire," the female figure said with a bold smile on her face.
 
"Oh, sorry, I would pack up to leave." She nodded positively and walked away.
 
"You didn't make a full payment," Ethan curiously asked.
 
"Yes, I just paid for four hours and that 4k." I stood up quickly.
 
"Woah!" he exclaimed.
 
"Also, how did you find me?" I questioned, giving another kind of look.
 
"Oh, that's another story for another day; let's just leave," he said.
 
"Nope, it's always strange that you find me almost every time," I exclaimed.
 
"Okay, I track your phone." I laughed when he said the words.
 
" What!" 
 
"Can we leave now?" He groaned like a child.
