"What has Diana done now?Why didn't she tell us that Ethan Sterling was the father of the children." Mrs Peters wailed.
"Mum what are we going to do now, he literally threatened us just now." David stated.
"There is only one solution to this problem." Mrs Peters spoke.
"And what could that be?" David asked.
"The marriage between Diana and Ethan." She stated.
"That's the only way out, Diana has to marry Ethan."
...
"No mum, I'm not going to marry Ethan." Diana stood her ground firmly as Mrs Peters shook her head.
"Why can't you?" She asked angrily, she wasn't expecting her to still be silly over this serious matter.
"Because he doesn't care about us , how many times will I say that?" Diana said.
"Diana we only have limited time, get married to Ethan and be happy with the children." Mrs Peters insisted as Diana disagreed.
"No! I'm happy with my life now, I don't want him in my life."
"You might not want him but the children want him, you can't keep thinking about yourself alone, the children need their father's love too." Mrs Peters explained.
"They don't need him, I can be both parents to them." Diana said, no hint of her changing her decision.
"Fine do what you want but don't come crying to me when you lose the children forever." Mrs Peters said and walked out of the room.
"Mr Sterling shouldn't have done this, the more you try to make us yours, the more we'll go away from you." Diana thought.
...
"So how did the meeting go?" Olivia asked as she placed the snack tray on the table.
"Well no as I had expected." Ethan said as he grabbed a cookie from the tray.
"What happened? Did Diana cause a scene?" She asked as she sat down.
"Well, she wasn't home at that time." He said"oh? So what happened?" She asked.
"They didn't agree to my proposal?" He sighed.
"Wait, you mean you didn't get any support even from the parents?" She asked as Ethan nodded.
"Even my own daughter hates me." Ethan blurted out as Olivia laughed.
"Oh my that's bloody hell crazy, like how?" She laughed.
"Well, Kiara said she didn't like me and I was trouble for her mum."
"Well, you are indeed causing trouble to her mum." Olivia muttered under her breath.
"So what are you going to do about it? Seat around and wait for her to change her mind?" Olivia asked.
"Well, I was actually planning on that since I'd run out of options."Ethan shrugged.
"I just hope she changes her mind before grandpa does."
"I hope so too." Olivia stated. "It's nice seeing you in this state for once." She laughed.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Who is there?" Olivia asked.
"I wonder who could be here late at night, I'll go check." Olivia said as she stood up to open the door and behold
"You?" Olivia said as she widened her eyes in surprise.
"I wasn't expecting to see you here?" Diana said as she clutched her bag tighter.
"Yeah, I'm Olivia, Ethan's sister." She introduced.
