Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 51. The Next Morning!
The next morning dawned with birds singing in the trees, and the cold air injected a sense of endurance into Isabella's bones. When Isabella opened her eyes, she found herself on the floor, where she had slept the night before.As she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find herself sprawled on the ground, as she had forgotten everything that happened the night before, like a child with no memories of events before being born.However, the sight of a wine bottle on the ground and her throbbing headache spoke volumes, like a symphony of regrets, each note resounding with the aftermath of her indulgence. She wondered what had happened, but the memories were elusive. She could only recall that her parents had been rushed to the hospital two days ago, and she had met Ethan there, too.Suddenly, a sensation rushed through her like an elevator ascending a tall building, and when it reached her chest, she felt as though she might vomit.Without delay and in an effort not to soil the living
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 52. Go To Eldridge
"Isabella, this is the same attitude you gave your daughter, and she didn't sleep at home all night long. How would you even know, since you nag at her every second?" "What?" Isabella burst out in this instance like a fierce thunderstorm, her eyes widening as if she had witnessed something utterly shocking. Though she had nagged at her daughter, she never meant for her to stay out all night long. "Where the heck is she?" Isabella asked, but Alexa wouldn't answer her with that kind of tone. "Ask me nicely, and I'll tell you, Isabella," Alexa replied, unbothered, her voice remaining calm. But Isabella was ready for all this crap coming from Alexa, and it was false. "Housekeepers!" Isabella screamed, and before her voice finally quieted down, the group of housekeepers rushed to the living room, responding to their names being called like a battalion of soldiers, quick and timid. "Where the heck is my daughter?" she asked, but none of them could answer her. They looked down at their f
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 53. On The way
Isabella arrived at Eldridge about two hours later in her fancy car. While she was at the gate entrance, the security guard told her to wait.Their appearance was not different from the last time Isabella saw them. Their sunglasses were defining features of their notorious duty.To Sophia, these security guards were more organized and fashionable than the ones they had at the beach house. This fascinated her, and she kept throwing questions at Isabella even when she received no answer."Mum, is this where Dad lives? How did he become so rich all of a sudden? Wow! Look at that," Sophia exclaimed.Right from the gate, Sophia's eyes met a statue in Ethan’s compound. It resembled a fountain that poured water from its mouth in a beautiful fortress, and she continued to peer at it. Perhaps when they were allowed in, she could finally get down from the car and touch the statue to see how it feels.Isabella was still peering at the security guard, who was observing the car's contents.It's no
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 54. The Guest Room
In the guest room, Ethan was already waiting, sitting with his legs crossed over each other. He could not believe this day would come so fast, when he would have custody of his child. Just like a child eager to arrive at the playground, Ethan was eager to see the guest room door open and catch a glimpse of Sophia, his precious daughter, stepping in.The guest room was constructed differently from other rooms. While the other rooms were adorned with gold and silver, the guest room was made entirely of glass, allowing one to see the outside from the inside but not the other way around. This place was perfect for Augustus Markwood's relaxation and study, but Ethan had converted it to a guest room.At this moment, Ethan rose to his feet and walked slowly to the glass wall. His hands were deep in his pockets as he stared at the security coordination from the inside. Standing at the glass wall, he certainly looked like a model being photographed for a popular magazine. It was evident that h
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 55. A Talk with Isabella
At the very height of this moment, just as Mr. Smith held Sophia’s hand and walked her out of the guest room, Ethan fixed a stare at Isabella. Then he rose to his feet and walked slowly to the glass wall like a predator stalking its prey, calculating every move with a silent intensity.He put his hands into his pockets and made sure that the glass wall he was walking toward was at a good distance from Isabella. He then took a deep sigh, like a man who was about to lift a heavy burden off his chest, and spoke slowly."I will tell you a story, Isabella."Hearing this, Isabella wondered what a story could achieve at a moment like this. Though she was reluctant, like a hesitant butterfly, she was still eager to see where Ethan was heading. Thus, she paid attention but maintained the same sideways look away from Ethan."This is a story about the Giraffe and the monkey," Ethan said, then looked sideways as if he was about to turn and shoot a glance at Isabella. But no, he did not turn. Inst
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 56. Leaving by Force
As Isabella still refused to leave as Ethan had demanded, instead strolling around the guest room, boiling like a kettle on the verge of eruption, Ethan remained standing still and only turned again to face the glass wall like a king admiring his grand throne.In this tense moment, Ethan said nothing more than silence, and neither did Isabella say anything more than her groanings. Slowly, he retrieved his hand from his pocket, making his cell phone obvious as he placed it to his ear and said,"Come in."Just like that, Ethan drew his hand and his cellphone back into his pocket like a magician concealing a mysterious object, leaving Isabella curious about the conversation he had just had. As he yet said nothing more, which caused greater confusion to Isabella, he looked out through the glass wall and saw a security guard approaching the mansion's entrance.Without too much time wasted, she quickly dissolved the puzzle as she yelled, "You fool, you have called one of your errand dogs to
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 57. The HavenBrook’s Hospital.
Maintaining the same speed as Eldridge, Isabella arrived at the hospital. Like a bolt of lightning, she hurried out of her fancy car and raced like a gazelle to the hospital’s post-operative room, where her parents were kept.Not even the caution of the receptionist was able to stop her as she ran past the passageway and bumped into every nurse and patient's family walking through it at this moment. Though the looks on everyone Isabella had bumped into were of aggression at what Isabella had just done, and when a few of them even cursed at her for almost falling them to the hospital floor, she did not mind, and she only continued in haste, pushing anyone in her way aside."What?" she exclaimed as she hurriedly turned the door handle to the post-operative room, and the door opened to the post-operative room; yet, she found no one inside."Where are my parents? Where is the guard? Where is everyone?"Her confusion covered her from head to toe like the garments of men from Dubai. There w
Ethan Mark: Billionaire in Disguise 58. The Beach House
Isabella arrived at the beach house, still vexed as if she had been anointed to be Lucifer's second in command. She walked quickly towards the entrance door as soon as she slipped out of her fancy car. Immediately, she paused, and what she saw ignited the fire of rage burning within her. She then decided to act on her words of promise by diverting towards the beach, just beside the house, to find a heavy stone that she couldn't carry alone with one hand.Lifting the heavy stone with both hands, she continued to groan as she walked faster, indicating the weight of the stone. "F**king Davis, I promised you would smell death the next time I see you here," she muttered, and with that, she smashed the heavy stone into Davis' car's windshield.As if that wasn't enough, she smashed it into every other window the fancy car had, causing the car to make an alarm sound like a symphony of shattered dreams. "F**k you, Davis, f**k you!" she said again, her breathing heavy upon her chest as she walk

Chapter 245: The Tears And Redemption
Pushing her back into her prison cell like a reluctant pawn being returned to its square on a chessboard, Isabella fell on the prison floor, resembling a fragile autumn leaf descending with a surrender to the inevitable embrace of the cold, hard ground. No matter how her voice had risen in anger towards her mother in the meeting room, she knew very well that she wanted to read the contents of the letter in the envelope and discover the help Ethan Mark had promised her. "Would he file for my release?" "Has he bought me a home as a sign of my forgiveness?" "Would he take me back as his wife?" Different questions rushed through her mind like a tumultuous river, each query cascading over the other. As she held the envelope in her hand, she sat at the corner of her cell and stared at it much more closely. In this way, she saw that the surface of the envelope bore a faint trace of handling, like a blank canvas marked only by the weight of the untold. She also observed the edges, crisp

Chapter 244: What Was She Told?
As Isabella saw her mother through the glass panel, her eyes first peered at her face, which was fresh and glowing like a sun-kissing morning, radiating warmth and vitality. Similarly, she observed her hair, cascading strands of silk, flowing effortlessly, resembling a gentle waterfall gracing a serene landscape.But if that were all, it would be a lie. She also noticed her dress, which was as beautiful as a field of blooming flowers, each petal a vibrant hue, creating a tapestry of elegance. Likewise, her neck, ears, and wrists were adorned with jewelry, resembling constellations adorning the night sky, each piece a sparkling star in the galaxy of her elegance.Taking in this perfect image of her mother, the thought immediately struck Isabella that her mother's current appearance was the complete inverse of hers—a mess in a uniform and in a confined space, akin to a wildflower struggling to bloom in a cramped garden bed."Been a while," Victoria Sinclair said again, immediately as Is

Chapter 243: Isabella and The Tears
Like a fish forced to live in the desert for the crime she had committed, Isabella's prison days wove a bleak tapestry of monotony and despair. The cold, unforgiving reality of prison life left her yearning for freedom, with each passing moment feeling like an eternity. The absence of familiar faces and the pervasive loneliness created a profound sense of desolation that permeated every aspect of her existence.Most especially, the daily beatings from her tormentor, Elara Whitewind, resembled an unrelenting storm, leaving Isabella's spirit battered and broken, akin to a shipwreck in the tempest of her despair. This was the reason she wished she had never set foot in the prison yard, mess hall, or communal bathroom ever again.However, whether she wished to visit those places or not, prison protocol had to be followed, leaving her no choice but to be present even in the devil's face if the protocol demanded it.In the dimly lit mess hall, clattering trays and hushed conversations fille

Chapter 242: The Heart of Gold.
Ethan said nothing in response to Mr. Alexander's words. Instead, as if he hadn't heard him, he seized a seat on the other side of the table and crossed his left leg over his right.Yet, this did not mean he spoke at this moment. The only sound was the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the table, as if he were playing an invisible piano.In this manner, Ethan Mark exuded authority. Gazing calmly from Mr. Alexander's feet to the tangled mess of hair atop his head, he looked at him. With a serenity akin to the gentle flow of the Nile and a voice as soft as a satisfied dove contemplating a defeated jungle lion, he suddenly spoke."Kneel and apologize."Upon hearing these words, Mr. Alexander's eyes widened in shock. He never anticipated a day when he would be asked to kneel and beg for mercy, especially from the person he had always regarded as a poor bastard.Like an enslaved cat in the presence of a lion, Mr. Alexander fell to his knees as Ethan Mark instructed, pleading, "I was a ter

Chapter 241: The Visitation
Seeing how bold, tall, and dangerous this prisoner appeared and observing his audacious manner of poking at him was akin to witnessing a prowling lion, confident in its dominance, taunting its prey before the impending strike. Mr. Alexander then immediately turned his back, attempting to escape from this menacing part of the communal bathroom like a startled deer seeking refuge from the looming threat in the dark forest. "I have to run," he muttered in total fright, his voice a tremor in the echoing silence, like a desperate whisper carried away by the chilling wind of impending danger. However, if his intention was for success, it was a futile hope. "And where do you think you are running to, huh?" Another prisoner said this behind him and pushed him forward like a pawn on the unforgiving chessboard of the prison's power dynamics. As Mr. Alexander was pushed forward, he witnessed how the older prisoners immediately surrounded him. He also noticed how they revealed smirks on their c

Chapter 240: The Next Morning
After speaking for hours, the man who had conversed with him advised Mr. Alexander to get some sleep. He emphasized the importance of having alert eyes to observe any unfortunate events that might occur in the morning. And with that, Mr. Alexander retreated to the corner of his cell once again, burying his head in his ankle like a ship seeking refuge in the harbor of solitude, sheltering itself from the tempest of the prison's harsh reality. He sat on the ground, succumbing to a haunted sleep. *** The next morning revealed Mr. Alexander as a mere specter of resilience, marked by the weariness of a night spent in the clutches of haunted dreams, like a tattered flag fluttering weakly after enduring the relentless storm of a sleepless night. His eyes, burdened with unrest, betrayed the toll of his surroundings. Disheveled strands of hair clung to his forehead, bearing witness to the restless hours entangled in unsettling dreams. As he rose from the dark corner of his cell, his eyes fir

Chapter 239: The Eerie Prison Cell
"Long story, man," the man answered. However, if this was all he said, it was a lie. He began to unravel his own narrative, detailing how his legs became amputated and one of his hands irreparably broken and dislocated."You see, I entered this prison as a healthy man. My crimes weren't that significant. I robbed a bank because I couldn't bear to watch my daughter suffer. We hadn't eaten for days, and robbing the bank seemed like my only option." He took a deep sigh and continued talking."Yes, you guessed right. The mission was unsuccessful, and before I knew it, I was completely surrounded by the police. I had no guns, only a knife and a dagger. I never headed to the vault but collected pieces from each person I encountered in the bank. I just wanted to be able to feed my daughter and move on with life the next day.""While being surrounded, there was nothing more I could do than raise my hands in the air and let the police apprehend me. God knows it was the biggest mistake I ever m

Chapter 238: The Prison
Arriving at the prison, Mr. Alexander saw how the prison walls were imposing, resembling a fortress of despair that stood as a testament to the shadows of society. Certainly, he shook his head in regret, as he had never been to a place this horrible before.He observed cold steel bars, like sentinels of incarceration, confining notorious men whose stories were etched in the graffiti of hardened souls. Similarly, he noticed how the air hung heavy with the weight of regret, whispers of past misdeeds echoing through the dimly lit corridors.The sounds of his handcuffs tucked in chains down to his ankle made obvious sounds as he was escorted through the corridor harboring the cells of different notorious men by two prison officers whose faces lacked smiles, as if they hadn't smiled for many notorious years. Hence, he saw individuals behind these cells harboring untold secrets with their unappealing faces and frightful behaviors.Upon witnessing him and the others being escorted to their r

Chapter 237: The Question and Live on TV
“Detective Sharon, we would love to ask you a few questions if you do not mind. We are sure this would help the public understand more of what is going on,” one reporter said immediately. “Alright, please go ahead. If this would help the general public understand more of what is going on, “Thank you, Detective Sharon. Now that Mr. Alexander, Mr. X, and Attorney Hughes have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms, and Attorney Reynolds is awaiting the outcome of his investigation before he is sentenced, do you think that would be the end of this deadly organization?” “Yes, Mr. X. Mr. Alexander Rosewood and Attorney Hughes have been sentenced to prison for a very long term, and if care is not taken, for life imprisonment. However, this is not the end of the organization. As you might already know, the deadly organization is a large organization that has penetrated every sector, which could even include the police, the prison officers, the legal system, and many more, which could even i
