The After-Party
The next day…Jenna had stormed out of the house and Ethan had her followed so she wouldn’t do something stupid. He couldn’t risk Genie knowing about his plan now, no matter what.However, she didn’t go too far, only lurking around the estate while she walked into a secluded coffee shop mainly for the rich wives stationed in that estate.He watched her, quietly sipping a cup of coffee, and wondered if this calm, serene woman who was so eager to do anything he wanted would take the place Erin once held in his heart.He stepped out of the car but the minute he placed his foot on the tarred road, he recalled his face being plastered all over the news.His death had been publicized widely and he quickly retreated. He continued to stare at Jenna, while he scrolled through the recent news and articles about his death.“Can anyone find out who killed him?”“Of course? The police will do that. But I am willing to bet Chairman Davins did it.”“That man certainly had his eyes on the West Valley
Soon-to-be Fiance
Ethan sat in his car, tapping on his thighs as Erin’s words rang again and again in his ears. He realized Genie had planned this so well and if everything went well for her, it would be the best wedding present.“Can you really trust what she says?” Mason glanced at his boss with doubts in his eyes.“Do you think she would agree to kill you? Is she capable?”Ethan let out a light chuckle, “Do you think someone who chooses to betray me wouldn’t kill me? She harbors so much resentment toward me and even after this crisis passes, I don’t think I should keep her alive.”“So, are you going to kill her?” Mason’s fingers tightened around the wheel.“Of course not…” Ethan chuckled. “I can’t stain my hands with her filthy blood. We will have someone else do it…”He curled into a sly smile, as he clicked his fingers, “All we have to do now is to begin the plan…”As soon as they got back to the hotel, they staged a murder scene. Fake blood pooled on the floor, and Ethan lay within with a fake kn
Price For Pain
Erin’s attack was fast and swift, with the tremors from the sharp blade resonating through the air. However, Ethan was faster.Swish!He jabbed against her chest, almost shattering her core while he slammed his palm against her throat.Immediately, she convulsed, almost as if everything in her was about to rise up her throat.The pocket knife fell to the floor, as she staggered backward. Her hands moved to her neck and chest, clutching them and trying to relieve the sharp throbbing pain in her body.“You…” She let out a strained sound but it sent even more jolts of pain down her body. Her eyes blurred with tears and the next second, she fell to the floor with all her strength leaving her.All that moment, Ethan waved his hands at Mason, “Restrain her...”“Sure!”Mason quickly tied her hands behind her while he dragged her across the room, to the couch. Her legs were tied up too, and though she tried to fight him, her current strength was no match for Mason’s.A few minutes later, when
Death Threat
The night had been intense, as Ethan never left the bed as Jenna clung to him like vines. And as he walked out of the shower, with a flimsy towel around his body while the sky turned bright, she smiled.There was a flash of pride, possession, and desire in her eyes. Ethan knew that look all too well, knowing she would want to have him to herself.“After the wedding, Jenna, when everything is done. I would like to tell you something important.”“What’s that?” She perked up immediately, eyes twinkling like a girl utterly in love. He realized the sooner he told her she couldn’t have him to herself, the better. But then, he decided to test the waters a bit, “You have to wait until I am done with everything. Also, you can bring your friends along for a party.”“Ohh…” She raised a brow. “What kind of party? Do they need to be there?”She was opposing, as her brows creased with obvious dislike toward his words. “Yes, it’s a small party, just to let us unwind. Moreover, you agreed to have
Number One Woman
“How are you going to do that?” Jenna’s brows creased. “Will you do anything I ask, Jenna?” Ethan asked, as he clutched her shoulders.“Yes, I will.” She nodded with a determined gaze. “Anything at all.”He grabbed the card again and waved it lightly, “Can you get another one for me? I need to meet your uncle.”“But…” Her eyes dimmed, with uncertainty in them. “Don’t you think it will be too risky? You could meet him in any other place, with a lot of security around.”“You won’t be duly secured if you meet him during the wedding.”However, Ethan assured her with his calm gaze, “You don’t need to worry about anything. I will be fine…”“Are you sure?” Her tone went a notch lower, riddled with worry. She knew she would go crazy, if anything happened to Ethan. She would blame herself to death because she told him the truth about her origin.“You don’t have to worry...” He patted her shoulders. After everything was done with Genie, that would be his final blow toward her. Appearing at he
Giving Ethan Everything
Mason quickly ushered Chairman Davins into the car while he stood guard outside. He had no trust in the old man, and he knew his presence could either put Ethan at a risk or there was something fishy cooking. And back in the car, Ethan’s face was cold as ice while he stared out of the window.“You have five minutes.”“Thank you…” Chairman Davins nodded, while clutching the hem of his clothes. His lips quivered, with his eyes darting around and looking beyond the open parking lot.Ethan noticed every single thing. His movements, his quivering lips, and how he had changed in just a few days. He didn't look like the dignified man he used to be.However, he didn't care as he spoke up, “Three minutes left, old man.”Chairman Davins immediately perked up, knowing this was his only chance at saving.“Save my daughter, please.” He pleaded as his eyes blurred with hot tears. “Aria is in danger.”“What do you mean?”“I will tell you everything…” He whispered. “Everything I did to you, rejectin
