The afternoon sun was at its peak when a midnight black Koenigsegg Jesko, sleek and extremely fast, drove into Springdale Ville. The windows of the car were tinted, but inside it was a man in a meticulously tailored military uniform behind the wheels.Seated in the passenger's seat was a man in a black shirt and matching khaki trousers.His build was sturdy, and there was a certain ruggedness in his features.Ethan Black held up an almost fading picture in his hand with a gentle look in his eyes. Six years ago, his family involved her in a feud that had nothing to do with her. He was young and gullible. So how could he have known he was drugged and led into a room that wasn't his in the middle of the night where he raped a young woman who was fast asleep? At that time, Chloe William wasn't just the most beautiful woman in Springdale Ville, she was also the most highly sought after wife by every man in Springdale. As if that wasn't enough, Chloe majored in business administration a

A tall and oppressive figure had entered the room and was standing in front of Chloe. An eerie silence also hung in the air before Lewis groaned in pain as he was helped up by some members of the William family. He was bleeding from his head and couldn't even open his left eye properly.He also seemed to have broken a leg as he dragged it across the floor to meet the man who left him in such a state. "Do you have any idea where you are and what I can do to you for laying your hands on me?!" He yelled angrily, but winced in pain when the strain from his facial expression caused his head to throb harder. Jonas frowned seeing the man. The man was so tall and intimidating that he found it hard to meet his eyes. "E-Ethan Black?!" Lewis suddenly frowned, recognizing the man. "I knew he looked familiar! How dare that bastard return to Springdale?" A member of the William family hissed in anger. He sounded like he'd walk up to Ethan and slap him across the face, but he didn't even have

Ethan stepped backward after saying that much to the excitement of Kane. "Am I permitted to beat him up?""Half-dead. Then deliver him to the Kendrick family house." Ethan nodded and turned around to look at everyone in the room. For the first time in six years, Ethan's heart raced. His heart never raced when he cut off the head of the enemy's commander while on the battlefield neither did it race when he was ambushed by 700 highly trained assassins sent to kill him. His heart was actually racing because of the thought of seeing the precious human he made with Chloe. Kane waited until he and Chloe were out of the building before he got to work. As Jonas' high pitched scream tore through the quiet afternoon, Claire who was walking right behind them couldn't help but hiss. "I don't know what you're thinking, but the Kendrick family will never let you off for touching Jonas. What am I saying? Chloe, your husband broke Lewis' legs and is having his goon beat up Jonas Kendrick. Do you

The time was a few minutes to 8 in the evening. Naturally, the day was getting darker.Due to the estate's houses reduced price, it was home to a lot of criminals and dangerous ex-convicts. Even the police didn't dare to frequent the area once it was dark.Furthermore, the flickering streetlights and the chill in the air made the estate, which was usually vibrant during the day, to lack a single soul on the streets.In a dimly lit corner, the chubby man Ethan had roughed up just an hour ago was in a heated discussion with a sinister figure."What do you mean the cops visited you? How's that even possible?" The man who had kidnapped Honey sneered."I'm telling you what I saw, Gauche! Return that kid to her family, and maybe the cops can let this slide!" The chubby man hissed."What are you so scared of? The cops? They won't be here again until morning, and she'd be long gone by then. Don't mess this up for me, Paul. I already have someone willing to pay so much for that kid." Gauche sc

Matilda Brown, oblivious to what happened the night before, was in a very good mood when she woke up the next morning. The reason being that she had won a lot of money while playing cards the day before.However, her good mood immediately turned sour when she saw Ethan walking out of the balcony with his phone in hand."What is this nonsense? How dare you return to this family after everything you've cost us?!" She hollered, pointing a finger at his nose, her face turning beet red from anger.Ethan, who didn't think the first voice he'd be hearing first thing in the morning was that of his loud and unreasonable mother-in-law, paused and looked up at her.He didn't know much about her since he only stayed with her a few days after his marriage with Chloe, but he did know that the one thing she cared most about was money.Matilda Brown would do anything for money."Good morning," he greeted, recalling this was Chloe's mother, and it'd be rude to simply ignore her."Keep your stupid gree
