“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
Just as Ethan kept staring out of the window in his office with his hands crossed behind him, he couldn't help but wonder what would be his fate next. It was his second life and he barely knew how things were going to work for him. He had begun to change his fate, and that made him oblivious to what would happen around him next. Just as he was lost in his thoughts, the task that he was expected to complete, taking of the ring and returning it to the owner, slammed into his mind and he couldn't help but be disturbed by it. “What will it take for me to get it?” His eyes squinted as he stared out of the window, still lost in thoughts. He wasn't sure where or how he was going to get it, but he must do so. “Ethan!” A voice called out his name from behind in his office, making him turn to find out who it was. Seeing that it was James, he didn't hesitate to let him come into his office. “What do you want from me this time, James?” Ethan asked, sliding his hands into his pockets as he st
The second Nathan tried to punch Ethan in the face, Ethan acted swiftly, his hand gripping that of Nathan's and tightening more than Nathan could ever imagine. It was so tight that Nathan couldn't help but feel his bones crush into tiny particles as Ethan held them. To him at this point, Ethan was different; he had the kind of powers that he could never have imagined he would have even in twenty years. “What are you doing to me? Arrgh!” Nathan growled as he found himself becoming weaker and weaker under the grip of Ethan. Soon, he found himself going on his knees like he was being compelled to do so. It was just a tight grip to Ethan, but it meant more than that to Nathan. “Let go of my hand!” Nathan struggled to pull his hand out of Ethan's grip, but it was impossible to do so. Ethan wasn't the same weakling he bullied back in school. His eyes became moist, and his heart beat rapidly. It felt as if he was going to die. The second he got on his knees, there was just one thing he
As Ethan got into his car and was being driven back home, his thoughts wandered off to Nathan and the crazy thoughts he might have going on in his head.“I would be prepared for you, Nathan, no matter what!” Ethan muttered as the car drove faster than he had ever expected. After what felt like an eternity, they arrived back home, and Ethan didn't hesitate to climb out of the car. Shutting the door, his driver ignited the engines again and zoomed off, heading back to the company to get some files for Ethan. Releasing a deep sign, Ethan walked into the house, hoping to be welcomed by his mother's warm embrace, but to his disappointment, she came out of her room with a white envelope in her hand. “Ethan, you are back,” she said, smiling at him. Ethan didn't mind her pleasantries at this point; his eyes were just fixed on the envelope in his mother's grip. “What do you have there, Mom?” He questioned, his eyes turning shady as he suspected it wasn't for a good course. No one would w
Staring at the paper invitation that was in his hand, Ethan couldn't help but smile brightly. The thought that it was Mr. Han who had the diamond was pretty fascinating, and he saw it as his own way of making Mr. Han pay for acting so viciously. “Let's see what you've got, Mr. Han!” He tightened his grip around the invitation in his hand, and just then, he turned to his phone that was on his bed. He reached for it and picked it up; as unlocked it, one person came into his mind at this point, and it was no other person than James. The second he dialled his contact, he placed the phone in his ear, listening to it as it rang out continuously. “Come on, James... pick up the call!” Ethan pressured as he stood to his feet and began pacing to and fro in his room. James wasn't the kind that left his phone far from his presence, so seeing that he wasn't responding no matter how many times Ethan called him made Ethan ponder what must have gone wrong with him. “Did he run off somewhere or
“Albert claims he found it, but I’m not sure that’s the case because if he did, the company wouldn't be going into ruin at the moment," James revealed, his eyes widening in shock. Ethan knew all too well how Albert was always the calm type, the kind who avoided trouble. Seeing him lie suggested something was behind it. Then, Ethan recalled the moment when Albert was surrounded by Gideon and his gang at the graduation party. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but it was clear Albert was being threatened. In Ethan's past life, he remembered how Albert had become a doctor and how Gideon had exploited him. Allowing that to happen again would mean doom not just for his mother but for everyone. History would repeat itself. "I can't let this happen. I have to stop his company from collapsing. I can't let him turn to Gideon for help!" Ethan's fist tightened as he thought about it all. "Sir, is there anything I can do?" James asked, his voice determined. It seemed he had momentarily
2 days later…. (D-day) [Host must ensure that he gets what belongs to another family to gain more popularity and trust] [Penalty for not accomplishing this mission would be dreadful. Don't think it's a joke] The mechanical voice echoed as it warned Ethan, who was standing before the mirror. He was already getting ready. He was set to leave; he was ready to show each of them that they weren't expected to mess with him. He was going to show them how important it was to just hold onto what they had and not dive into what belongs to someone else. “I understand the plan, and it will be accomplished… I am fully prepared! I can't miss this!” Ethan uttered confidently, a smile curling up on his lips as he kept staring at his reflection. Just as he was still admiring his outfit, his phone rang. Picking it up from the table beside him, he noticed it was James. “Is everything ready on your side?” Ethan questioned, hoping for the best response ever. “Yes, Sir…everything is
Taking the ring was one thing, but the fact that it was in the possession of Camilla was both thrilling and annoying. Ethan hadn't expected such a turn of events, and he wasn't happy about it either. His fist clenched as he watched Camilla leave the living room. There was no doubt that she had tried her best to make him see the diamond ring in her hand. There was something at play, and if Ethan wanted to survive, it was best he played his game well. ‘I can't go in there without the help of Albert; I need him here!’ Ethan thought inwardly as he glanced around the place. The executives before him kept talking and smiling, but they tried their best to act moderately, knowing that any wrong move could make Ethan fire them without hesitation. Just then, Ethan felt choked up and picked up his phone. He needed to get the task done and leave. He needed to exit the house before something crazy happened. He texted Albert without delay, his thoughts hovering all over the place. It wasn't as
