Ethan turned to Ariella and Jay, "I see you fancy my new hotel, how would you feel if I kicked you both out?” Jay and Ariella exchanged glances, “Your new hotel? You own Le Meridien hotel?” They both asked Ethan, almost echoing each other's words. Martha gawked at Ethan, ‘Is he really the owner of this hotel?’ Jay, in a bid to save face, suddenly yelled, “You can't kick us out! I can easily buy this hotel, so don't think it is such a big achievement!” Ethan took some steps toward Ariella and Jay, shooting them a mischievous smile, “How about I give you your wedding gift then!” Jay and Ariella glared in shock, unable to summon any more courage to speak after what Ethan had done to Trevor and Marcus. Ariella also caught sight of Olivia at that instant, “Olivia! You knew about this?” But Olivia ignored Ariella’s remark. She has vowed to do everything possible to make amends for all the time she had spent mocking Ethan. Olivia had even pleaded with Ethan to have her father sent out

“Hello, Mr. Banks, I accept your offer. I'll tell you everything you want to know,” Marcus' voice could be heard speaking to Ethan over the phone. Trevor shook his head in resignation, he still couldn't believe all that had suddenly befallen them. “Don't look at me that way! If only your stupid brother had used his brains, none of these would have happened. Go pack your things, our time in Cedarwood has come to an end, we are leaving!” Marcus roared, throwing his glass cup against the wall. *** Emiliano’s phone kept buzzing for days as various news reporters called him non-stop, requesting for an interview with him. Martha had become a shadow of herself, whispering to herself day in, and day out like one who had gone nuts. “I'm afraid your wife has lost her sanity,” one of Emiliano's doctors broke the news to him at Green Health Hospital the following day. Auntie Phina had left Cedarwood to return home, leaving Emiliano to take care of Martha. But Martha on the other hand didn't

“I was going to serve you on a platter to the justice department but then I remembered all the lives that you and your family have messed with and I figured one of you had to at least answer personally to those that you've wronged, so I decided to serve you up to one of your disgruntled customers,” Ethan added, smiling mischievously. “Thank you, Mr. Banks, I will never forget this!” Jimmy Wood shook Ethan while gritting his teeth at Emiliano. “Ethan, please! I would rather go to jail, please don't leave me with him, he is crazy!” Emiliano yelled, shifting uneasily. “Boys! Put him in the truck, we have some catching up to do!” Jimmy Wood roared as Emiliano was hauled into a truck outside the building. *** Ethan drove the Maserati to the Lopez family estate with Loretta seated beside him. Ian had called, requesting for them to come over and spend some time with him and the rest of the family since it was Sunday. The smell of roasted lamb could be perceived even from the door as th

Dr. Dennis chuckled, “What is the meaning of this? Do you know who you are messing with? You will pay with your miserable life for this!” He yelled through gritted teeth. “Ahhh…..” Ethan suddenly slapped him, causing him to yell out in pain. “Stop talking, you've said enough!” Ethan responded, staring at with sternly. “How soon before the buyers get here?” Ethan asked, peering at his wristwatch. “In…in another ten minutes or less!” Dr. Dennis quickly answered when he saw Ethan walking towards him. He suddenly realized how right Emiliano had been about the new Ethan Banks! A few minutes later, some men in dark suits walked into the abandoned hospital, yelling, “Hey Dr. Dennis, we are here!” “Welcome gentleman! Dr. Dennis is unavailable right now, can I take a message for him?” Ethan asked, smiling mischievously. “And who are you? How dare you interrupt our meeting? Are you tired of living?”One of the men who appeared to be in charge fired back, glaring around. “No, but it's the

Gabriella furrowed her brows as she glared at the screen of her phone, “Why is Thomas calling me?” As soon as Gabriella picked up the call she heard Thomas' crying from the other end of the line, causing her to yell, “Thomas, what's wrong?” Meanwhile, in Cedarwood, Ethan also receives a phone call, “Mr. Banks….sorry…to trouble you, sir,” the voice at the other end of the line shook with fear. “What is it? Out with it already!” Ethan yelled impatiently. “We caught an intruder on your parents' property. He was trying to torch the place when we caught him,” the voice finally managed to spill everything out. Ethan frowned, “An intruder? Who is this intruder?” “His name is Thomas Wedge!” The voice at the other end of the line responded. Ethan nodded, a mischievous smile appearing on his face, “Since he wants to see his father so badly, have him sent to the Stanberry Penitentiary to be reunited with him.” Ethan disconnected the call instantly, smiling to himself. Loretta walked in a
