46 You are mine (1)

Late at night Ethan was driving aimlessly on the roads of Isla, after roaming around for hours he finally drove towards the family villa.

"Son, it's so late..." Mrs Go rushed downstairs, as soon as she heard her precious son was back.

"Mom don't bother, go sleep..." despite saying that Ethan hugged his mother tightly. He was the closest to his mother.

"Honey...what happened?" Mrs Go asked patting his back

"I missed you maa..." Ethan mumbled

Before Mrs Go could speak a word, a strong force pulled her from behind

"What do you think you are doing? stealing my wife in the middle of night..." a low and threatening voice came from behind

Mrs Go turned towards the source of the sound, as expected it was her overly jealous husband

Mrs Go:"... HE'S OUR SON"

"Do you not feel any shame whining to my wife like a 3 year old" Mr Go glared at his son, ignoring his wife remarks

"...Your wife is my mom alright?" Ethan commented rolling his eyes at his dad's exasperated reaction

"So? If you want to act coy so badly go get yourself a wife, stop bothering my wife"

Ouch!!!!!

Heartbreak

Ethan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, opening his eyes he glared at his father, speaking word by word "Can you not hit me when I'm down" stating his piece, he stormed upstairs to his bedroom

Mrs Go watched his son retreating back feeling heartbroken

"Wife let's go, continue" Mr Go said happily, cheering inside 'the obstacle was gone'

Mrs Go glared at her husband hatefully before kicking him in the shin "Get lost"

"Surely the husband has no value after the son was born" Mr Go mumbled to himself quietly

Inside the bedroom

Ethan was sprawled on the huge king size bed, staring straight at the ceiling.

He couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did. He can't explain the pain he was feeling....

He looked in the direction of windows, warm sunlight was seeping through the lightly shut curtains, it was already morning

He get off the bed tiredly and went to the garden.

He walked for a few minutes before sitting on an empty rattan chair.

"This old man isn't dead yet, what are you mourning at?" came a stern angry voice, startling Ethan from his daze.

He turned his head to find his grandpa holding his walking cane, shooting daggers at him.

He stood up hurriedly to greet his grandpa.

Grandpa Go nodded and then sat on the chair next to his. He gestured Ethan to sit down too

"A mere girl is capable enough to make you lose your mind huh?" Grandpa Go asked, tapping his cane on the ground, his stance was that of a investigator.

Ethan froze, but then again he knew his grandpa too well, nothing could be hidden from this old fox.

He sighed softly.

"She's Mia" Ethan stated after a long, long silence

Grandpa Go stopped his movements, his eyes widened "Mia? Mia.. how can that be? She is called Salman" He shook his head in disbelief

"Mia Styller, she followed​ her maternal family name" Ethan explained to his grandpa, though the explaining didn't seem right, he didn't think too much into it.

"Styller's?" grandpa Go snorted

"Yeah..."

He knew that they had a old grudge with the Styller's.

Grandpa Go watched his distressed grandson quietly, he couldn't bear to see him so distressed. So he smacked his walking cane hard on Ethan's calf "Can't even woo a girl, putting shame over the Go's. Do I need to teach you how to woo a girl?" He barked furiously

After taking all the insults he was still quiet. After a while he opened his mouth mumbling softly "She has a boyfriend"

"So?" Grandpa Go smacked him again "When I fell for your grandma she was already engaged, at that time engagement meant half a marriage" Grandpa Go sighed heavily, then again regaining his strength he roared "I still dared to woo her and make her mine. Why wouldn't you dare?"

Ethan stared at his grandpa, unable to form a reply

Grandpa Go continued "If you are sure of your love, then go for it. What's the point of crying over her. Be a man, as long as you didn't cross the line you've got all the rights to woo her. Understood?"

Ethan's eyes gradually brightened

The man who looked like an abandoned puppy drooping it's tail moments ago was now jumping in joy full of life.

He turn to the old man, listening to his golden words with even more attention.

After pondering for some time, grandpa Go analyzed "Since you two share a past, you have the upper hand compared to that boyfriend of hers" stroking his chin he added "This is your trump card, you must use it wisely. Girls are sentimental creatures, if you fell for at that time she must have felt some special attachment with you too, no?"

Ethan thought it through 'hmm that makes sense'

"Just create a little spark and the fire will be lit up again" old man said with a meaningful look

Ethan chuckled lightly "Thanks grandpa"

After eating breakfast with the family, Ethan left for his mission with high spirits

He called his assistant An to fix an appointment with Doctor​ Davis.

When Ethan reached South Side, it was still early for the appointment so he decided to wait in the car.

After about twenty minutes or so he got off the car and walked towards building.

Knock Knock

He knocked twice on the office door

"Please come in" these few words were like music to his ears

He pushed the door open then walked inside

A frail looking girl was sitting on the chair behind a large desk, wearing a white lab coat. Her hair was tied in bun. She looked pure and delicate without any makeup.

She looked up to find the man staring at her dazedly.

"Mr Go" she called out

He walked towards her slowly and sat on the chair opposite her.

When he was fully comfortable in his seat, she picked up his appointment, flipping it over she asked "How are you feeling?"

"Wonderful" he replied with a huge grin

"..."

"Ahem I mean what are the symptoms?" she asked again

"Oh...I feel...my heart is beating like crazy. I feel like it will jump out of my body anytime" he paused thinking about something then added "it feels like I'm always missing something. Yesterday I was feeling claustrophobic...my chest felt constricted but now I feel happy I feel like laughing out loud...do you think I can be saved?"

".....". She really really don't want to deal with this man.

"I strongly recommend you to see a psychiatrist soon" Samantha said through gritted teeth

"Why?"

"Cause your issues are out of my league" She said, rolling her eyes inwardly

"But you are the cure...and the cause also" he declared looking into her eyes

"..."

"Mr Ethan Go are you flirting with me?"

Ethan laughed softly "So you do realise"

At that point Joseph entered the room with a tray in his hands.

"Your blueberry smoothie" he passed a cup to Samantha who accepted with a gentle smile

Looking at the young man before him Ethan was alerted

"Who are you?" he asked coldly

Sensing his coldness poor Joseph got scared and took a step back immediately.

"I'm Joseph​, Doctor Sam's assistant"

Then thinking about something he hurriedly added "You must be her boyfriend. Hello"

Ethan's mood instantly brightened, his cold face was replaced with a huge grin.

Samantha:"...."

"J-O-S-E-P-H" She glared at Joseph harshly

The poor man shivered in response

Ethan turned to her, smiling at her fierce face he said "Be good"

as if he was really the boyfriend, coaxing his naughty girlfriend

The way he looked at Samantha dotingly with endless tenderness, made Joseph even more sure of his assumption.
