Just as Ethan kept staring out of the window in his office with his hands crossed behind him, he couldn't help but wonder what would be his fate next. It was his second life and he barely knew how things were going to work for him. He had begun to change his fate, and that made him oblivious to what would happen around him next. Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the task that he was expected to complete, taking of the ring and returning it to the owner, slammed into his mind and he couldn't help but be disturbed by it. “What will it take for me to get it?” His eyes squinted as he stared out of the window, still lost in thoughts. He wasn't sure where or how he was going to get it, but he must do so. “Ethan!” A voice called out his name from behind in his office, making him turn to find out who it was. Seeing that it was James, he didn't hesitate to let him come into his office. “What do you want from me this time, James?” Ethan asked, sliding his hands into his pockets as he st

As Ethan got into his car and was being driven back home, his thoughts wandered off to Nathan and the crazy thoughts he might have going on in his head.“I would be prepared for you, Nathan, no matter what!” Ethan muttered as the car drove faster than he had ever expected. After what felt like an eternity, they arrived back home, and Ethan didn't hesitate to climb out of the car. Shutting the door, his driver ignited the engines again and zoomed off, heading back to the company to get some files for Ethan. Releasing a deep sign, Ethan walked into the house, hoping to be welcomed by his mother's warm embrace, but to his disappointment, she came out of her room with a white envelope in her hand. “Ethan, you are back,” she said, smiling at him. Ethan didn't mind her pleasantries at this point; his eyes were just fixed on the envelope in his mother's grip. “What do you have there, Mom?” He questioned, his eyes turning shady as he suspected it wasn't for a good course. No one would w

“Albert claims he found it, but I’m not sure that’s the case because if he did, the company wouldn't be going into ruin at the moment," James revealed, his eyes widening in shock. Ethan knew all too well how Albert was always the calm type, the kind who avoided trouble. Seeing him lie suggested something was behind it. Then, Ethan recalled the moment when Albert was surrounded by Gideon and his gang at the graduation party. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but it was clear Albert was being threatened. In Ethan's past life, he remembered how Albert had become a doctor and how Gideon had exploited him. Allowing that to happen again would mean doom not just for his mother but for everyone. History would repeat itself. "I can't let this happen. I have to stop his company from collapsing. I can't let him turn to Gideon for help!" Ethan's fist tightened as he thought about it all. "Sir, is there anything I can do?" James asked, his voice determined. It seemed he had momentarily

Taking the ring was one thing, but the fact that it was in the possession of Camilla was both thrilling and annoying. Ethan hadn't expected such a turn of events, and he wasn't happy about it either. His fist clenched as he watched Camilla leave the living room. There was no doubt that she had tried her best to make him see the diamond ring in her hand. There was something at play, and if Ethan wanted to survive, it was best he played his game well. ‘I can't go in there without the help of Albert; I need him here!’ Ethan thought inwardly as he glanced around the place. The executives before him kept talking and smiling, but they tried their best to act moderately, knowing that any wrong move could make Ethan fire them without hesitation. Just then, Ethan felt choked up and picked up his phone. He needed to get the task done and leave. He needed to exit the house before something crazy happened. He texted Albert without delay, his thoughts hovering all over the place. It wasn't as

“Give it back right now, Ethan! I know you are wretched and poor, but one thing I didn't expect from you is to be a thief! Even when you are a CEO, you still have the guts to come into my house and steal from me?”Mr. Han's words cut through Ethan's heart as his fist clenched. He was angry, seeing how Mr. Han had made him look like the evil person before everyone else.Everyone had begun to see Ethan as if he wasn't fit, as if he wasn't suitable to be the CEO of the Newhope Robotics Company.Ethan's teeth clenched, and for a split second, he wished he could grab Mr. Han by his neck and just rip his throat off. Mr. Han was nothing but a cunning man that everyone should stay away from. He shouldn't be close to anyone as it stood.“Han, we both know that this isn't yours! We both know that you don't have any right to claim this diamond as yours!” Ethan snarled as he glared at him.“You speak of being greedy and wretched?” Ethan scoffed, trying to calm his nerves in the best possible way.
