The second Ethan walked into the panel hall just to get the discussion with the executives started, a familiar voice boomed through the expanse of the room, drawing his attention immediately. “Who let this poor dude in here?” The second he turned in the direction the voice was coming from, he found Nathan standing to his feet in rage. He was furious to see him in the hall. Nathan was one of his bullies in school, and it made Ethan furious to see him as one of the executives he was working with. “I guess I'm making more than just one person pay for their crimes today!” He smirked at Nathan, who had left his seat and had begun to trudge closer to where he was standing with James. “Ethan, he's from school, remember... He can do something crazy!” James emitted, calling Ethan by his name, knowing what had been happening back then in school. “I don't care... Let him come to me!” Ethan spoke softly, a smile still on his lips. He just couldn't wait to hear what Nathan had to say to him.
Getting respected and no longer bullied, mocked, or looked down upon was one thing that Ethan had always desired. Seeing how they all had their heads bowed to him the second he stood up from his chair, Ethan couldn't help but sneer at their behaviour. If there was anything he loved so much, it was when people were scared of him, and that was what was happening. With a smirk curling up in his lips, he turned around and left the hall, heading for the exit of the company. “Sir?” James called swiftly, halting Ethan right in his tracks. “What again, James?” Ethan asked the second he stopped in his tracks. “Nathan might come back for you... We both know him. What should we do?” James was questioned. “Ignore him; he can't do anything that'll endanger the company… That I am pretty sure about! And you can let him go now,” Ethan stated before continuing his path towards the exit of the company. The second he left, he was going to think about how he would leave the company and head back h
Just as Ethan and his mother kept celebrating and jubilating, knowing that Ethan had gotten a comfortable and promising job, a knock came at the door, making Ethan and his mother pause immediately. Ethan turned to the door briefly before he turned to look at his mother, who was more shocked and confused than he was. “Are you expecting anyone, mother?” Ethan questioned, his gaze fixed intently on his mother. “What? No! You are pretty aware that I barely have any friends because of our situation. I am not expecting anyone. Maybe it's your friends from work,” she uttered, making Ethan scoff instantly. “There's no such thing, Mother…” Ethan let out before he let go of his mother and walked over to the door. Without a second thought, he opened the door. He was expecting to see a mailman or someone different since they weren't expecting anyone, but to his shock, it was a different person who was standing before his door. ‘What is he doing here?’ Ethan questioned, tightening his fist o
“Two days to beg him? Who the hell does he think he is? What does he take me for? A fool?” Mr. Han's fist clenched as he struck his hand on the couch where he was sitting. He just couldn't help but keep thinking about what had happened at work that day between him and Ethan. Ethan was nothing more than a trash boy, and that was what he was going to remain as. He still doesn't believe that Ethan was his new boss and that his application didn't pass the review. “No! There's definitely no way he is the boss. He and James are just acting up!” He concluded, his teeth clenching tightly. He believes that they were both playing a trick on him. “He can never be above me! I won't let that happen! Never!” He declared this before he stood up from the couch where he was sitting. He began to walk around the area, his hands running through his hair as he looked a bit troubled. He doesn't, and he won't believe it. Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a knock came at the door where he was, but h
“It's over between you and I, Ethan!” Camilla's voice boomed through the silence that covered everywhere, and just then, a sly smirk curled up on Ethan's lips. The second he let go of his cheek where Camilla had slapped him, his hand tightened around his mother, and with a frown, he responded to her. “A breakup? That's the best move right now, Camilla!” He stated this with so much joy coursing through his veins. “What?” Camilla stuttered, her eyes widening in shock, as she just couldn't believe what she had heard from him. “You are joking, right? You don't mean you are accepting it. You need me!” She uttered it, trying to make Ethan believe that she was his only saviour. She still hasn't seen the clear picture yet, and she still hasn't understood that Ethan was no longer on her level anymore. As Ethan stared at her, he couldn't help but recall his past life and how she kissed and romanced Gideon. ‘If only I could kill you right now, I would definitely do it! You don't deserve to
“I am the CEO of the Newhope robotics company, mother... I don't need someone like Camilla or her father! Isn't that clear?” Ethan explained briefly, his eyes squinting and his fist clenching tightly as he stated. If he could find Camilla's father before him, he would hit him on the face without thinking twice. “But...” his mother was going to say, but immediately, Ethan cut in. “I promised to protect you, didn't I? You are safe with me, mother, and I won't let you suffer anymore! We are fine by ourselves!” Ethan concluded before embracing his mother, who was sitting down pretty close to him. He didn't need to utter any more words as they drove to their new apartment. It was a long ride, but finally, they arrived before the mansion, his mother's eyes gleaming with shock as she stared at the building through the window. It was a massive building that glittered with shiny designs on the walls. “What in the world?” Her eyes widened as she climbed out of the car. She kept looking ar
Waking up in the most comfortable way, Ethan couldn't help but smile as he opened his eyes slowly to behold the dawn of a new day, the day he would count as one of his best days. He slowly sat up on his bed, and looking around the room he was in, he couldn't help but wonder how he had gotten this much within just a few days. Thoughts about his past life came slamming through his mind, and he couldn't help but tighten his fist. “It's never happening again!” He said to himself as he turned to the table in his room. Staring at it, he recalled the task that was given to him by his system. “I need to get it done soon, but where do I get the diamond ring when I barely know anything about it?” He pondered deeply, staring all over his room. He was left with a feeling of confusion, doubt, and worry. He wasn't sure where to start his journey. Soon, his alarm rang out, and he understood that it was time for him to get to the company. He swiftly stood up from his bed and went ahead to take
“I never knew you were the CEO; please forgive me, Ethan...” Mr. Han begged as he went down on his knees on the ground, tears flowing down his eyes like he was a little child. Truth be told, Ethan never knew that Mr. Han could be so humble and cry before him. In the past, he would always get bullied by Mr. Han, and he never cared if Ethan was feeling okay. He'd send him on errands just to mock him before Camilla, and because Ethan saw it as nothing but him trying to get into his heart, he did it all, making sure he went through hell so Mr. Han would never take his daughter away from him. Ethan's fist clenched, thinking about the past. He knew what he had suffered in Mr. Han's hands; things he dared not speak of either way. Seeing him beg was just the beginning of it all; Ethan had vowed to make him suffer even more. “Please, Ethan, forgive me and give me the position back!” He got closer to Ethan and held his pants. “You never knew I was the CEO? And now you know, you are willin
