On the busy night street of Ashville, Ethan made his way from his part-time cleaning and delivery job. Ethan Nightangle had always worked hard to make ends meet. As a part-time delivery man, he would spend his days running from place to place, picking up and dropping off packages for various businesses and individuals in his city. But even with his tireless efforts, it seemed like he could never catch a break.
In addition to his delivery work, Ethan also took on odd jobs like cleaning and handyman work to supplement his income. He knew that his wife, Lily Johnson, was successful and owned her own company, but he didn't want to rely on her for financial support.A sense of joy and anticipation filled his heart as he walked down the street. The reason for his happiness was a small box he held in his hand, which contained a beautiful cake he had saved up for weeks to buy Lily. Even though they've been married for a year, it was going to be his first gift to her."Damn, after what it seems like an unending, I've been able to get Lily a cake. I hope she loves it when she sees it because I've worked hard enough to get it." He mutteredThe warm aroma of the sweet treat filled his senses as he imagined the look on Lily's face when she saw that he had worked hard to get her a cake.As he approached home, his heart beat faster with excitement. He could hardly wait to see that look on Lily's face when she saw the cake he had bought for her.As he made his way up the winding driveway, his eyes fell on the car parked in the garage. It was a sleek and stylish vehicle, one that spoke of wealth and luxury, and it was Lily's. Beside it was another Mercedes-Benz parked. Even though he was confused as to who owned it because he had never seen Lily drive it, he didn't think much about it.With a deep breath, he pushed open the front door and stepped inside. The living room was spacious and well-furnished, with plush sofas and elegant decor."Shh, ahh."The smile on Ethan's face vanished immediately after he entered the living room. The faint sound of moans of pleasure coming from upstairs made him frown. The realization of what was happening hit him like a ton of bricks. Even though he couldn't hear the voice clearly, he was familiar with Lily's voice, so he knew it was hers."What's going on?" His mind was filled with questions and doubts, wondering who Lily was with or what was going on in their room upstairs. He clenched his jaw and held the box containing the cake tightly to his chest.With a sense of dread, Ethan rushed towards the door, desperate to find out what was going on. His heart thumped faster as he approached the entrance. The sound of the moans grew louder with each step he took. Without wasting time, he opened the door."Puff!"His body shook lightly, seeing what was going on in the room. His worst fears were confirmed. There on the bed was Lily, naked with her legs widely opened, as another man who was also naked was on top of her, going to and fro.The man appeared to be around 40 years old, with a chiseled jawline and piercing blue eyes. His hair was a messy tangle of sandy blond, and he had a muscular build that spoke of hours spent in the gym.The room was filled with the smell of sex and the sound of loud moans. At that moment, Ethan felt like his world was crumbling right before his eyes.His heart sank as he stood at the door of his own bedroom, watching in horror as his wife and another man were wrapped up in each other's arms. Their bodies were entwined, lost in a world of their own, oblivious to the fact that he was standing just a few feet away.As he watched, tears began to well up in Ethan's eyes, mixing with the rage that was building up inside him. He tried to turn away to escape the painful sight before him, but something kept him rooted to the spot.Finally, unable to take it anymore, he stepped forward and shouted her name."Lily!" He yelled in a loud voice.The sound of his voice broke through the haze of pleasure that had enveloped her, she looked up to see Ethan standing there with tears streaming down his face.Lily was shocked to see Ethan at the door. Her face went pale as she quickly pushed the man off her and covered herself with the duvet, looking at Ethan with a mix of shock and guilt.The man, on the other hand, had an ugly expression on his face as he quickly scrambled to his feet, reaching for his clothes in a hurry. As he dressed, he shot a look of disdain at Ethan, as if he found the whole situation amusing."Ethan, what are you doing home so early?" she asked, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice.Ethan chuckled bitterly as he stepped closer to her. "Were you expecting me to stay late so you could enjoy your intimacy?" He asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.Lily's face went pale as she looked down at the ground, unable to meet his gaze."Ethan please." She said. "It's not what it looks like," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "I can explain. Just give me a chance to explain.""Bullshit!" He replied with a yell. "Are you telling me it's not what it looks like
Lily's face twisted into a mask of rage. "You're the one who's always holding me back, Ethan. You're a cleaner, for God's sake. I need someone who can keep up with me, someone who can match my ambition," she hissed.Ethan felt a bitter laugh escape him. "You always said you wanted me to work for myself, Lily. And that's what I'm doing. I'm trying to make a living to support us. But it's never enough for you, is it?" He said, his voice filled with hurt."Lily, why are you letting him come between us? Have you forgotten we haven't finished our thing?" Roger asked, looking at Ethan disdainfully while wrapping his arm around her waist.She chuckled lightly and said, "Of course, how can I forget how good you are in bed? I need more of you, Mr. Anderson." Ethan stared at her, disbelief etched on his face. How could she be so callous?But even so, he didn't budge. Instead, he looked at Roger with a fiery glare. "Who the hell are you?" he asked, his voice trembling with anger.Roger smirked
Ethan felt his heart racing as the men approached him. He tried to move away from them, but his legs felt like they were glued to the ground. He couldn't believe what was happening. He stood there, frozen, staring at the group of men in disbelief. He had never seen anything like this before in his life. Those who had stopped to take a look took out their phones and started to record the scene.The men looked like they were straight out of a Hollywood movie, with their sharp suits, dark glasses, and pistols hanging from their belts.Ethan felt a wave of fear wash over him as they approached. He tried to take a step back, but they were too quick. Just when he thought something bad was going to happen, another incredible thing happened."Thud!"The men rushed in front of him and knelt down together on one knee, their voices booming as they spoke in perfect unison, "Youthful master, we have been sent by the master to bring you.""Wow!"Ethan's heart was racing as he looked down at the gr
"Dad, it's you." Ethan muttered in shock with his mouth widely opened.When he was just 10, his mom died. After that, his dad left the house and never returned. Even though it had been a long time, he still remembers his face clearly.The man who had entered nodded with a smile."It's me, son. Dad is here for you." He repliedThe man was William Nightangle, Ethan's dad.Ethan's initial shock turned into a mix of anger and hatred as he looked at his father. The memories of his childhood came flooding back, and he couldn't help but feel betrayed and abandoned."Why are you here?" he asked, his voice laced with anger."I made them bring you here, Ethan." William walked towards him, trying to touch him.Ethan stepped back, dodging his touch. He was shocked to hear his dad say he made the people bring him. He didn't understand how he was able to send such powerful-looking men.Seeing the angry look, his father's smile faded, replaced by a look of sadness and regret. "I know I left you to s
Victoria smiled and straightened her glasses."Master Ethan, I'm the manager for the Aureus Group of Conglomerates." She saidEthan's eyes widened as he took a step back. No one in Ashville hasn't heard of Aureus. It was a massive corporation with a net worth in the billions. He couldn't believe that his father owned such a powerful company. "Dad, you...you own Aureus Group?" Ethan asked in disbelief.William nodded with a proud smile. "Yes, son, and it's now yours, so you're the one going to run it now," he said."Wow!"Ethan's mind was reeling. He had never expected any of this. Slowly he had turned into a rich man in the blink of an eye. William reached into his pocket and pulled out a card, which he placed on the table in front of Ethan. The card was silver in color and had a sparkling finish that caught the light in the room. Ethan's name, "Ethan Nightingale," was emblazoned on it in bold letters.Even Victoria's eyes widened when she saw the card. She recognized the card, it
Ethan was caught off guard as he turned around to see Lily's best friend, Charlotte, standing there with a sneer on her face. He took a deep breath and composed himself, trying not to let his emotions get the best of him."Hello, Charlotte. What are you doing here?" He asked, trying to sound as polite as possible."I could ask you the same thing," she said, still sneering. "What business do you have in this hotel?""I'm here to get food, is there any problem with that?" He asked"Get food?" She chuckled. "Have you forgotten where you're standing Ethan? This is a 7star hotel, is an ordinary cleaner like you qualified? I even think you sneaked your way in because no security guard would allow a shabbily dressed person like you here." She repliedEthan tried to ignore Charlotte's condescending attitude and maintain a cool composure. "I'm not just a cleaner," he replied calmly. "And it's not your business what I do or don't do in this hotel."Charlotte smirked, clearly enjoying his discomf
"This guy is dead meat now.""Oh, yes, I'm sure he would be beaten to pulp. You want to joke at a 7-star hotel.""Beat him, Sir, he sneaked in here; look at how dirty he is; he's only going to drive customers away." Charlotte said againThe man in red was angry; he had not seen Ethan's face yet because there were others also standing beside him."Who's he? Who dares cause trouble in the hotel?" He asked"It's him." Charlotte raised a finger and pointed at Ethan.Following the finger's direction, his eyes narrowed to where it was pointing. His eyes met Ethan's."Wish!" The security guard's body vibrated as his eyes met Ethan's. How can he forget him? He's their young master. Without a delay, he quickly walked towards Ethan.As he walked towards Ethan, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of fear and surprise. He had been ready to deal with whoever was causing trouble, and now he was faced with the young master of the hotel. He quickly composed himself and smiled respectfully at Ethan
When Ethan walked out of the hotel, he was met with the sight of a sleek black Aston Martin parked in front of him. The car was shiny and looked expensive, but not too over the top.He could see two figures standing beside it: a woman and a man who was built and looked like a bodyguard. As he got closer, they both greeted him and called him Master.He frowned and asked, "Who are you two? And why are you calling me Master?"The woman, who was wearing glasses and had her hair tied up in a bun, introduced herself."Master, I'm Lady Byte, a skilled computer programmer and hacker, capable of doing anything related to tech, and yes, I can break into any network system I want if I have the tools.""Lady Byte, the programmer?"Ethan couldn't help but chuckle. He turned to the man beside her and asked who he also was. The man also began to introduce himself."Master Ethan, I'm Shield, and my job is to protect you, keep you safe, and also help you in terms of your needs."Ethan looked confused.
