“It’s not what you think, Erin.” Ethan tried to calm her but she shut him down. “I am not thinking of anything! Why do you think I would think about you and that doctor?” She snapped at him as she started the car and stepped on the pedal. Ethan had to steady himself well else he would have been thrown forward. “Well, if you are not thinking about us, why did you act like my girlfriend?” He asked, as he really wanted to know what she thought about him. “What? Don't you like that I did that?” She asked, glancing at him through the mirror as he was in the back seat. “I like it.” Ethan was straightforward but Erin sneered at him. “Don’t let it get to your head! I was just trying to get that pesky fly away from you. I just don't like her.” Erin didn't hide her dislike for Emily. She felt there was something weird about the doctor but she couldn't place her hand on it. Ethan let out a sigh since she was so adamant that acting like his girlfriend was nothing. For someone like Erin, ev
“What do you mean upfront fee? I have never heard about that.” Erin interjected, feeling like the sales rep was about to scam them. The floor was quite empty and there was no way they could know if the sales rep was lying or not. “Well, it is a new policy. Please, make the payment of 1000 dollars.” The sales rep looked straight at Ethan, ignoring Erin. Erin was about to stop her but Ethan shook his head at her. He didn't think it was something serious since it was just a thousand dollars. “Take my card.” He brought out his card from his pocket and the sales rep put it in the point-of-sale machine. However, the card declined quickly.The floor turned silent for a moment. Ethan frowned as he wasn't expecting that. “Sir, you do not have any money in your account.” The sales rep pulled out his card and passed it to Ethan. Her expression had changed as she was no longer smiling. “Try it again.” Ethan was sure that there was a mistake somewhere. “There is no need. Please, leave. If
“Bella, be calm. The police are almost here. I will make him rot in jail.” The manager continued to calm her down. He saw Ethan like a man he could trample on.How else could the manager prove his manliness to a girl?Ethan let out a chuckle while he looked at them. His hand, supporting his jaw, amusedly. “You must be the most caring man in the world, Mr. Manager.” “What do you mean? You have no iota of sympathy within you and that is why you preyed on a defenseless girl.” The manager countered Ethan’s words. “What if I prove you wrong? Are you ready to face the law? I suppose you care so much and you would go to jail for her, right?” “You are the one going to jail. See, he is trying to get his way out. He is going to hurt me if no one punishes him.” Bella cried out, putting out her manipulative words.At the same time, the elevator opened and three policemen walked in, looking ready to drag any offender out. “Welcome, police officers. That’s the rapist.” The manager pointed at E
Bella, the manager, and the police officers, even Erin stared at Ethan in shock as he stood up.“I am suing her for defamation of character and false accusation.” Ethan declared. “No… you can't do that. I… I am a girl.” Becca cried, this time, real tears were streaming down her eyes. “You deceived us all. You can walk. It's only fair that they let me go.” “Sorry to burst your bubble, bitch! You are going to jail and I will personally see to that.” Erin stepped forward this time. She took out her police ID card and showed it to the officers.“Arrest her and charge her to court as soon as possible.” She was higher in rank than the officers and they were quick to do as she said. Bella saw them coming for her and she started to move away. “Miss Erin, you can't do this to me. I am a woman like you, have some sympathy!” “Dom’t let them take me, please!” Her screams echoed through the whole place as she was taken out of there, leaving the manager there. He stood with his head bowed,
A groan left Ethan’s lips as he pulled away from Erin and sat back in his seat. The car was still rammed head-on into the ground and coupled with that, Ethan was in tremendous pain.“Are you okay?” Erin asked, her face filled with horror. She immediately tried to fish out her phone to call 911 but Ethan stopped her. “Check on that person.” He was referring to the person screaming for help. “The car must have hit her too.” He added. “But you are injured! You still want to care about someone else, huh?” Erin yelled, her heart bleeding for him. She wondered what would have happened if he hadn't shielded her in time. She would have been covered in blood and gashes.“Don’t worry, I will be fine.” He whispered with a smile. He had the Super Healing Technique and he needed to use it while she was away. Also, the person screaming for help needed help more than he did. His smile reassured her but Erin didn't listen to him completely. She discreetly dialed 911 and opened the car door. She
Erin watched the woman being wheeled into the ambulance but she couldn't follow through because Ethan was about to get treated.On the other hand, Ethan frowned wondering where exactly the woman had appeared from. Before he swerved the car, he was sure he had seen her running, headlessly and panicking. She came from the other side of the road which was covered in thick bushes. He turned to tell his findings to Erin. At the same time, he felt the paramedic behind him opening his shirt and feeling his back. “You–”“Uhm, miss. He has no injuries.” The paramedic cut him off and he let out a huff. How was he going to explain that he had no injury after being bedazzled by that amount of glass shards? “Are you mistaken?” Erin stepped closer, peeking at his back. It was true!Ethan had no visible cuts or wounds and his body was just drenched in blood. “It’s okay. I guess he is lucky.” Erin brushed off the paramedic’s look of worry. Ethan’s back was cleaned and he had to go shirtless sinc
Erin walked into the police station eager to lay her message across to her teammates so they could set off quickly. She walked up to her desk and she was immediately stopped by her colleague. “The chief wants to see you.” She was informed and Erin’s face contorted. Ever since her last raid in Gas Arc, she had not gone to give a report to the police head. “He seems pretty angry, so you should tread carefully.” “Alright.” Erin let out a sigh and then glanced at her teammates who were looking at her. She had already texted them and they knew they had a task incoming. She told them she would be back and then went to see the chief. None of her teammates knew what she knew about the police head. How he had always helped those criminals at the human trafficking ring. Knock!Knock!!“Come in.” The chief gruff voice resounded from the office. Erin opened the door to see that he was just crushing a cigarette butt in his ash’s tray. It was against the rules to smoke during office hours a
“Hello, Emily.” Ethan greeted her as she walked with the nurse to the patient’s bedside.“Hi, Ethan. I can see your legs are doing okay now.” It had not even been a complete day since he left the hospital in a wheelchair. “Yes.” He replied simply, not bothering to explain himself to her. He watched her do a few checks on the patient and she sent the nurse away. “Were you involved in the accident scene to you? How come you are not hurt? Why are you here?” Emily asked, going to stand beside him, with him seated, she brushed her fingers on the side of his neck. She wanted to know who the woman was to him. “Sort of…” He moved a bit away from her, as he was really concerned about the patient. “When is she going to wake up?” He asked. Emily frowned seeing the way he ignored her advances. “Anytime soon.”She huffed in her mind, wondering why he was so entangled with women. “Alright. I will be here then.” He replied. Emily was angry that he didn't have his eyes on her. All the time the
