"Very well then. You're to leave as soon as possible." Ethan agreed."At once Master Ethan." The Old Man stood up on his feet and headed for the door. The mission at hand was a time sensitive one and each second counts."Housekeeper." Ethan called before he turned the door handle."Yes Master Ethan?""I'm counting on you.""I won't let you down." The old Man assured as he left the office.Back alone in his office, Ethan fell back on the chair. To an extent his worries have been alleviated. He really prayed the Old Man would be successful in the task he had undertaken.Digging his hands into his pocket, he brought out his phone. "Shit!" He had forgotten his phone was on silent. He had put it on silent so as to avoid been disturbed. He scrolled through his phone as he saw numerous missed calls from Sandra"What does she want now?" He wondered in his mind. "Can't deal with this right now." He said out loud as he tucked his phone back into his pocket. He would come back to her later, ri
"Hey big brother." Denera greeted as her elder brother appeared from the staircase."You didn't forget about our weekly dinner, did you?" She added.“Lovely to see you too, dear sister. I'm doing alright thanks for asking.” The young man said sarcastically."You don't have to be such a child Jason.""Says the last born." Jason the young man replied. "Shall we?" Jason asked as he clapped his hands..A team of skilled chefs moved into the dinning room with choreographed precision, each one focused on their task with unwavering dedication. The air was filled with the tantalizing aroma of spices and herbs, mingling together to create a symphony of scents that promised an unforgettable culinary experience.Plates were garnished with delicate sprigs of fresh herbs, sauces were drizzled with artistic flair, and each dish was inspected with meticulous attention to detail before being whisked away to the awaiting diners.The soft glow of candlelight in the dining room, cast a warm and invitin
"Very well then brother, I have a plan." Denera voiced out, after a few seconds passed by. "Well don't keep me waiting Denera, let's hear it." Jason said as he dropped the fork and knife in his hands, giving his sister his undivided attention."Well if you want to ruffle Ethan's feathers, a good place to start will be going back to Sandra." Denera began. Her eyes completely balanced on her brother's face. She knew she had to structure her words very well so he does not see through her manipulation, after all they're both members of the same house with the same traits."Going back to Sandra? And why would I do that?" Jason asked, leaning back into the chair."Rumor has it that, Ethan picked Sandra to be his partner not based on professional observation but because of a secret bond they shared." Denera answered."If you can weave your way into Sandra's life and find proof of their bond, you can expose them to everyone. Ethan would lose his balance which will make the contract to be ta
"Watch your back Ethan." Alex growled.There was no going back at this point. He was already at rock bottom, he had nothing to lose anymore. ***The rays of the sun finds it way into the room of Ethan and rests on his face, making him squint his closed eyes as the rays made him uncomfortable."Another day." Ethan sighed as he opened his eyes.He wasn't asleep really. He hadn't done much of that in a while. Ever since Sandra died, it was as if his glow died with her. He knew they had just known each other for a while, but the bond they were nurturing was something great. He remembered her smile, how she always readjusted his tie every single morning. A little smile creeped up his face as the memories they shared together played in his head."Life goes on". Ethan said, heaving a sigh as he got out of the king size bed....***"Good morning Master Ethan." Rachel greeted with a quick bow when Ethan appeared from the stairs. He was on a fitted vest which brought out his built shape, wit
"So stay calm my brothers, do not lose your composure. We are House Geralt, the Oldest and Strongest House in the country. We have witnessed ups and downs yet we have stood tall. This too will soon become a victory for us." Gerald spoke with so much motivation.After addressing his kinsmen, Gerald stood up and headed into the mansion.Having walked a considerable distance from the meeting hall, he dipped his hands into his pocket, brining out his smartphone."It's me." He began as soon as the call he made connected. "We're gonna need to run that mission again." He continued. "No, this one is a different target. His name is Ethan Anderson." He concluded and dropped the call. ***Ethan arrived at Majestic Skies Building in the latest model of a black Range Rover. He had given Paul the day off and decided to drive himself to work today. It was unconventional for someone in his position to be seen driving themselves but Ethan needed the distraction. Stepping out of the luxurious vehicl
Most of them had their initial doubts about Ethan's capabilities but seeing him evolve was soothing and exciting to witness."Another thing we would like to address today?" Ethan asked."I believe that would be all sir." "Very well then. I'll get the review back to you once I'm done with it." Ethan said to Mr. McDave as he stood up and headed for the door..***"You did well boss." Rachael commended walking halfway to meet Ethan who was coming downstairs."How did you..." Ethan wanted to ask. "You listened to the whole thing didn't you?" He suddenly realized."I believe that's what the camera and audio are for sir." Rachel defended with a gentle smile."You never seize to amaze Rachel." He shook his head as they both descended down the stairs."I believe that was the only thing on my plate for today right?" Ethan asked, reaching the bottom of the stairs."Yes sir.""Alright then, I'll be heading back home. Keep up the good work." "Alright thank you sir."***Stepping outside the bui
"Hello Ethan" a very deep voice from the shadows greeted."Jackson." Ethan called, his hands placed beside him with his feet a few inches apart. He had a ready-for-battle stance.As Ethan called the person's name, a very built man with average height came out of the shadows. The man had on a very fitted shirt that brought out his huge biceps and ripped body. He had different scars that were visible on the parts of his body that the cloth was unable to cover. "Can't say you're a sight for sore eyes" Jackson blurted out. Standing in the same stance as Ethan.It was almost as if they were in a stand off."I can see you got my little love letter to you." He continued."You're a sick man, you've always been sick since I've known you." Ethan fired back, squeezing the letter and throwing it back to Jackson."Ouch" Jackson said as the ruffled piece of paper hit him on the chest. "No need to beat around the bush then, Ethan. Let's go straight to what I want." Jackson beamed an evil smile at
"No fucking way." Alex said in a whisper. He had listened to the whole argument between Ethan and Jackson. ***The warehouse that Ethan and Jackson met was not far from the slum Alex lived in. They were both at the outskirts of the city..Alex had remained in a troubled state all day, occupied in deep thoughts on how he could get back at Ethan, until he heard the revving of a car.He peeped out and saw at a distance a black Range Rover pulling up across the abandoned warehouse house that was a bit close to him.Overtaken by curiosity, Alex stretched his neck to see who would come out of the vehicle. It wasn't everyday that someone came to these parts of town anyways."No it can't be." Alex had said to himself as he saw Ethan come out of the car. "Ethan?" He called out to himself in disbelief. He couldn't believe the person his eyes were staring at. "What was he doing here?" Alex thought in his mind. Seeing as fate had made his revenge a little easier for him, without wasting time,
