After a few rings, Cory answered, and the sound of cars honking could be heard in the background."Hey man, how's it going?" Cory asked."I'm good, thanks. Are you already at the hotel for the party?" Ethan asked."Sorry, man, I can't make it to the party. I have another package to deliver," Cory apologized.Ethan was annoyed. "You're kidding me, right? We agreed on this, Cory; you can't just leave the package and come to the party.""I can't do that, Ethan." He replied, "My boss will fire me if I don't deliver this package on time," Cory replied, his voice sounding stressed."Hey, forget about being fired; I can offer..."He was about to offer him a job, but the call hung up before he could say anything. He sighed and walked towards his car, getting ready to drive to the party.As he got into his car, Ethan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He now had a lot of money, and Cory was his best friend, so he was looking forward to hanging out with him and enjoying the party tog
"Screw you." Olivia yelled, hearing his reply. "Even I did not get a special invitation from Manager Campbell herself; how dare you lie here? Why don't you say you are the unknown young CEO of Aureus, then?"Ethan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was actually the unknown young CEO of Aureus, but there was no need to explain it to them."You wanna fuck me? Oh, sorry, but I don't like you." He said, mocking OliviaOlivia felt her anger reach its peak; she felt like slicing Ethan into pieces at that moment. "Who wants to fuck a poor rat soul like you?" She spat on the floor.Ethan looked at the security guard and said, "Well, if you don't believe me, I will call Victoria to come pick me up, and then you will know that I am not lying."The security guard and Olivia looked at each other and burst into laughter."Sure, go ahead and call," Olivia said between giggles. "Let's see what Ms. Campbell has to say about your special invitation."Ethan took out his phone and dialed Victoria's
Yolanda gave the security guard you're very lucky look before they both walked into the event centre park of the hotel.The first thing that caught Ethan's attention when he entered was the huge board with the word "Aureus" written on it in golden letters, which sparkled under the bright lights of the venue. The whole place was decorated in a luxurious style with golden, silver, and black balloons hanging from the ceiling. There were colourful lights and streamers hanging from the trees. "Yolanda, this place looks beautiful, it seems there are several places in this hotel I've not explored yet." He said"Thank you Master. This party was specially made for you, so we invited nest designers to decorate the place and yes, Luxuria is really big, there are a lot of places you haven't explored yet." She repliedEthan nodded with a smile and took another look at Yolanda and said,"You really look beautiful and managing such a grand hotel at this time, your boyfriend should be very lucky fi
In the washroom, the waiter continued to apologize to Ethan, who was trying his best to remain calm."Sir, you know I didn't see the floor well and tripped; please don't take it to heart." He said"It's alright; accidents happen," Ethan said, giving the waiter a reassuring pat on the back.The waiter nodded, relieved. "Thank you, sir and please, I beg of you, don't report me to the manager. I could lose my job."Ethan sighed. "I won't report you." "Just be more careful next time, okay?"The waiter nodded and left to fetch some clothes for Ethan. A few minutes later, he returned, holding a set of janitor's clothes."I'm really sorry, sir." "These are the only clothes available at the moment."Ethan's heart sank as he looked at the clothes. How could he wear the clothes of a janitor to his own party? What were others going to think of him? Even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to wear them."Well, just give them to me; I'll wear them like that." He said. "After all, I was
Charles Fitzgerald smiled as a wide smirk appeared at the corner of his lip. He didn't know how to confront Olivia himself, but she gave him the opportunity to humiliate Ethan and get a date with her; there was no way he was going to reject her."Deal." He whispered into her ear and turned to Ethan after that."I'm going to give you one last chance. Kneel and apologize in order to be forgiven else..."Charles didn't finish his words when Ethan interrupted him."Else what? Hey, I'm not kneeling, so you better do what you want to do faster.""Damn!" Charles gritted his teeth, knowing Ethan wasn't ready to kneel."You want to act tough, right? Wait and see what happens to you in the next few minutes." After saying that, he took his phone out and made a call."Wait till my men are here; we will know if you want to kneel or not. I'll punish you well for hitting me." Charles said it with a cold glare."Wow, Master Charles called his men?" Those who heard it were shocked."I heard the men f
As Charles turned to his men and gave them the order to break Ethan's arms, the bystanders stepped back, leaving Ethan and the six intimidating men surrounding him. They menacingly advanced towards him, bat sticks in hand."You're going to die today, kid," one of them snarled.But just as one of them swung their bat towards Ethan, a loud, commanding voice cut through the air. "Touch a strand of his hair and watch how I bury you all deep down the earth."All eyes turned towards the source of the voice, and to everyone's surprise, it was Shield who had arrived on the scene.A smile appeared on Ethan's face when he saw Shield walking towards them. Shield was dressed in a sharp and professional suit that hugged his muscular frame perfectly. The black suit was accented with a white dress shirt and a black tie, giving him an air of authority and power. His chiseled jawline was clean-shaven, and his short hair was perfectly styled.The man who had swung his bat froze in mid-air, intimidated
Shield stood his ground as the four remaining men charged at him with their bats. He moved quickly, dodging their swings and striking back with precise blows. He was a blur of motion, kicking and punching with incredible speed and power. The men were no match for him.With a single swift motion, Shield grabbed the bat of the third man to attack him with force. The man stumbled back in shock.BANG!Shield quickly followed up with a hard punch to his face, sending him crashing to the ground.The last man, seeing his three companions lying on the ground, hesitated for a moment before charging at Shield with renewed determination. Shield was ready for him. He caught the bat in midair and twisted it out of the man's hands, then delivered a punishing kick to his stomach that sent him reeling backward.AHHH!As the man stumbled, screaming, Shield seized the opportunity and grabbed him by the arm, flipping him over and slamming him down onto the pavement with bone-crushing force.The crowd wa
WHAT!" Ethan felt shocked hearing Lily's apology. He couldn't believe his ear and couldn't believe that she had called him all the way because she wanted to apologize.Lily's tears began flowing as she continued pleading. "I still love you Ethan, I need you." She said.Ethan stared at Lily, unsure of how to respond. He longed to believe her and forgive her, but he was filled with uncertainty and doubt."I understand that it's too late to apologize," Lily continued, "but I needed to see you. It hasn't been easy for me since we separated."As Lily spoke, Ethan's mind became increasingly muddled."No, Ethan. Don't fall for her lies. She cheated on you with another man because he was rich. She's a gold-digger," he muttered to himself, anger flashing in his eyes."Leave me alone, Lily. We're divorced, and you were the one who wanted it," he said, pushing her away.Lily got to her feet, her tears still streaming down her face. "I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness, Ethan. I played w
