Hudson sat at the dinner table, the foods there were untouched yet, he raised his head and took another look at the wall clock with a frown plastered on his face, it was already a few minutes to nine. He let out a deep sigh and sat back, resting his head on the chair, it had become a tradition for him and his father to eat breakfast and dinner this past few days with the aim of strengthening their bond and it was going according to plan while he was also slowly getting used to eating with his father most of the time. A confused expression slowly appeared on his face as his mind traced back to the conversation he had with his father at noon, "Two years" he muttered with a light scoff. The loud honking of a car sounded downstairs, jolting Hudson out of his thoughts and the sound of tires moving against the cold paved road leading to the garage followed next. The door to the dinner room was opened immediately and Mr. Alexandros walked through it with a small smile on his face. "How

"What occasion is it, today, Dad?" Ethan asked with a sight frown on his face while tapping away on his phone. The expression on his face showed that he wasn't happy going to where they are going currently but he had no other choice than to come along with his dad, he dared not protest for fear of the consequences. Since the incident he had two years ago, none of his crimes dare go unpunished, there was always a consequence or the other for anything he does that is against his father or what he wants. "Oh, it is the introduction of the most powerful Mafia's son and all the mafias have been invited. I see this as a jackpot for us if we strike our cards well, and this all depends on your relationship with his son," he said with a bit of excitement in his voice. "The most powerful mafia?" he asked with a frown on his face, suddenly piquing interest in the topic, anything his father talks about things like this, he just nods his head in response and reply very rarely but this time his

The introduction of Hudson was over, people were leaving slowly, while there were still a lot of people in the hall, looking for opportunities to talk to him.Ethan stood with his father outside the hall, his father had a huge smile on his face as he kept on talking about Mr. Alexandros and his assets, Ethan only watched his mouth move, he wasn't hearing anything that his father was saying, He had drowned in his own thoughts of unbelief wondering why Hudson pretended to be an orphan, bearing the surname of a nobody when his father is a very powerful man and one of the most feared people in the world. "Now go and talk to his son, make sure you make him your friend and you dare not make him your enemy" Ethan looked at his father in shock after hearing what he just ordered, he squeezed his face, drawing his eyebrows closer to each other, "No, I can't" he stated with confidence. "What do you mean by no?" his father asked, a surprised expression plastered on his face. "I said no, I can

“You wanted to see me” Hudson said with a tired voice immediately he barged into the garden where his father was chilling with a couple of friends. Mr. Alexandos turned his head on hearing the voice of his son, the others that were seating around him also turned their head to his direction of the voice. “Oh you are here son” a huge smile appearing on his face instantly. “Yeah, I heard that you wanted to see me, so I came straightaway when I had taken care of what I needed to but it seems like you are busy so I will check back later” he bowed slightly and turned back immediately but was halted in his steps immediately by one of the men seating with his father. “No wait, why are you leaving so soon, we are done with what we were discussing, it is not like it was something serious after all” one of the men seating around him said, flashing a smile at him. “Yeah,” another one began, “we were just catching up on old times” he added, standing up to his feet. The two of them shook han

Hudson sat in the garden alone, he was clad on an armless top and a short, he had a lighter in one of his hands, while playing with a cigarette with his other free hand, moving it across his lips, inserting it in and out of his mouth, he seemed lost in space, staring at a blank space, it was evident that he was lost in his thought. He didn’t even notice the approaching footsteps that were behind him. He felt a hand grab his shoulders, he jolted out of his thoughts and turned back as fast as he could. Bethel was staring down at him with a smile on his face, Hudson let out a deep sigh and returned back to his former position, resuming what he was doing before. He inserted the cigarette back into the pack and placed it in between his laps. “Don’t beat yourself up over it, it was nothing, you can’t expect the first thing you take care of to go so smoothly after all, there have got to be challenges also, you can’t expect everything to go your way and your life should be a bed of roses
