Chapter 23
And as Irish trailed behind Gabrielle she couldn’t help but grow so curious. What could be in that room?
Gabrielle will definitely know because she has been with Ethan for long. “Gabrielle” Irish called as they stepped into the living room.
“Huh?”
“What’s in the room?” She asked.
“I do not know!” Gabrielle replied bluntly. “Really?”
“Do not go about prying, it may lead to the end of your work here” Gabrielle warned.
“Okay, just curious” Irish said.
“I’ll be up in my room” she added.
“Okay, I’ll be in the kitchen” Gabrielle said.
“Okay” Irish said and they both went their separate ways.
Gabrielle sighed as she walked into the kitchen.
Everyone has always been curious about that room, can’t they just act like it doesn’t exist?.
Well… who wouldn’t be curious? If she did not also know about the incidence, she would have been curious too.
“Rest in peace Carrle”Gabrielle muttered under her breath. She sat down and shook her head sadly.
Well.. Carrle has been gone for years now but her presence still lingers in the house.
She was always in the kitchen with Gabrielle ready to help. Just like Irish does.
Carrle had been Gabrielle’s close friend, they were always in the kitchen and if they were not cooking, they’ll be chatting and laughing at funny things.
She was Ethan’s godmother and he loved her so much. He even spends more time with her than his parents.
Their bond was unbreakable then, anyone would mistake them for mother and son.
She practically raised Ethan to be hardworking and independent, she always told Ethan not to depend on his father’s wealth but work hard for his, Unlike his younger brother Morgan, who hated Carrle so much, and had always depended on his father’s health and couldn’t wait for the property to be shared immediately their father’s Death. Ethan had shocked him to bones when he said he could have all the property to himself.
Carrle made sure he didn’t grow up as a spoilt brat.
Ethan is the first child of his billionaire parents and they were ready to spoil him and his brother but Carrle prevented that.
Carrle had also wanted to raise Morgan the same way she raised Ethan, but Morgan have bluntly told her he hated her.
Gabrielle could boldly say Ethan holds his success to Carrle and God. He was so broken when she died.
She was poisoned right in this house and till date, the culprit have not been apprehended.
Detectives tried all they could but they couldn’t fish out the person, investigation went on for years until they finally washed their hands off the case.
They didn’t want to suspect Morgan to be responsible because he doesn’t live with them and there was no one he could find his way into the house without being noticed.
Despite Morgan calling Ethan his enemy and had warned him not to take him as a brother, Ethan had deeply loved his younger brother. Reason for the suddenly hatred was something no one knows.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Carrle died on the same day Arin came into the world and Ethan was more sad than happy.
But he believed that she came back to him through Arin and he had wanted to name Arin ‘ Carrle but Catherine had refused.
Even with the love he had for Carrle, he still respected his wife’s decision. But he made sure the name ‘Carrle’ was among Arin’s names.
Even after Carrle’s death, Ethan still go to her room.
But suddenly he stopped! and warned everyone not to ever step their feet into the room. No one knew what happened.
Most people were so curious and they tried finding out what’s going on, they tried violating his orders and he had them sacked.
Others learned from it and no one dared go near the room afterwards.
From Carrle’s death to harold sudden warning … everything sounds so mysterious… “Carrle” Gabrielle sniffed and she realised she had been crying.
She loves staying in the kitchen cause that’s where she shared most memories with Carrle. Gabrielle dabbed her tears with her apron and then placed her head on the table feeling so sad.
Irish laid on her back staring at her ceiling, completely lost in thought.
“All i know is it’s a sacred room and Ethan hates anyone going there, he’ll sack you immediately he finds you prying. ” Gabrielle ‘s words echoed in her ears.
Why?
“What happened in the room?
Whose room is that? ” Irish wondered. C’mon Irish.
It’s none of your business.
But her curiosity wouldn’t let go of her.
“Remember curiosity killed the cat” her subconsciousness told her. Why can’t she just act like the room is not there like Gabrielle had said.
But why would Ethan restrict anyone from going into that room? Something is definitely up.
“Let it go Irish, everyone has their little secret. Even you!” Her mind screamed at her. “Okay okay” She rolled her eyes.
She picked her phone and placed a call across her Mum. She needs to divert her thoughts.
Arusha would have gone to school and her Mum might be making new designs for some models.
