Ethan was still busy at the art exhibition center when his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number! Ethan furrowed his brows as he picked up the call, “Yes, who is this?” There was a loud chuckle at the other end of the line, “Am I speaking to Ethan Banks?” The person at the other end of the line asked disdainfully. Ethan responded with a cold tone, “Who wants to know?” “I have your girls with me, say hi to them!” The voice responded, laughing mischievously. Suddenly Loretta and Gabriella's voices could be heard in the background, screaming and calling out Ethan's name. “Do I now have your attention?” The voice at the other end of the line suddenly asked. Ethan's face darkened instantly as his grip on his phone tightened, “What do you want? If you touch even a strand of their hair, I'll end you!” There was a loud chuckle at the other end of the line, “Meet me at the address I just forwarded, don't be late!” The phone line suddenly went dead. Ethan clenched his fists as h

Ethan already knew that a massive dump was going to hit the foreign exchange market any moment from now and since he would be busy with several other projects especially that of the art exhibition center, he needed somebody with proper knowledge to handle his investment in the foreign exchange market. “Yes Mr. Banks, I know a good investment expert,” Michael Rivers nodded excitedly, happy to be helpful to Ethan. “Okay, that's great, Mike. I'd like to see him immediately!” Some hours later, Ethan sat in an office at Labell Innovations with a young man in his early thirties, glaring at a computer screen. “Stan, right? You came highly recommended. Your portfolio is actually quite impressive too! I think you will be a good fit for my team,” Ethan smiled, shaking Stan’s hand. “Thanks, Mr. Banks. So what's your starting capital?” Stan enquired. “I'm looking at investing 300 million dollars,” Ethan told him casually. Stan's eyes widened in shock at the huge sum that Ethan wanted to inv

Ethan had just finished speaking with Olivia over the phone.He, Loretta and Samantha had taken a stroll around the neighborhood and were returning when he received the call from Olivia, so the girls went ahead of him.“Hey girls, you both look so gorgeous, why don't you join us over here, we are having a private party,” a young man in his early twenties was seen glaring at Loretta and Samantha.“Thanks but we'll pass!” Samantha simply responded as she brought out the key card to open the apartment's door.“Wrong answer sweetheart,” another fellow stepped out, responding to Samantha's remark.“You must be new here, so I'll permit your response just this once. You see girls, our father owns this beautiful building and as such we own you and everyone else living here, so when we tell you to jump, your response should be ‘how high' got it?”Loretta shook her head, “Since when is that a thing? Your father owns the building, and so what? Like my sister just told you, we are not interested,

Ethan and Loretta sat by the the poolside with their feets dangling in the water.The air was slightly chilly as the wind blew past their faces.Ethan ran his fingers through his tussled hair as he stared at Loretta.He could imagine the numerous thoughts that were running through her mind.“With you beside me, it feels so easy to believe everything will be alright,” Loretta finally spoke, staring blankly at the sky.Staring at him made accepting her harsh reality more difficult so she struggled with herself to avoid his gaze.“Everything will be alright. You are not alone you know?” Ethan responded, his gaze still resting on her tear stricken face.He handed her his handkerchief as if just noticing her tear stricken face.“How can it be? When I've just been condemned to a life of sorrow by my own father?” She asked, her eyes instantly becoming watery.She felt like locking herself in her room and crying her eyes out.But she knew Ethan would never let that happen.“No one can do that

Suddenly his phone buzzed. It was a message from Sarah!Nash frowned, as he read the message.He quickly grabbed his car keys and walked out of the door.Nash raced to the Lopez family estate.And as he tapped on the door, a maid quickly let him in.“What? What is going on here?” Nash chuckled excitedly when he saw his friends and family members including his parents gathered in one of the massive living rooms of the Lopez family.They all appeared just as excited to see him but his question surprised them.“Why do you look so surprised to see us, son?” His father asked.“Didn't you ask us to meet you here for a big surprise?” his mother finished off his father's statement.Nash frowned, suspecting a fowl play from his parents.“Yes Nash, we all got the same message from you,” his friends concurred with his parents.“What do you guys mean? Dad, Mom, weren't you both away on a business trip? So how come you are both here?” Nash asked, chuckling.“Oh, come on, son. Didn't you arrange fo
