Bang!Bang!!The gunshot sounds continued and immediately, the boss ducked going behind his throne. Erin knew it was Ethan coming and she immediately rushed toward Eva to shield her. “Boss!!” The chief police rushed in, frantically, slamming the door of the empty room shut with his body jiggling. “We have been invaded! Half of our men have been killed!” “Who dares to invade my territory!” The boss finally rushed out from behind his throne. “I… I don't know! I couldn't see their faces. No one would dare to attack your territory!” The chief continued frantically. His eyes darted around and they landed on Erin who was shielding Eva. “Erin!” The chief yelled and all eyes turned to look at her. “Did you do something?” He pointed an accusing finger at her. “Right…” The boss muttered as he came to a realization. Seeing her shield Eva was a confirmation of the suspicions he had toward her. “You dare to attack my territory?” The boss raged, rushing toward Erin, and grabbed her neck. He
“Are you okay?” Ethan rushed toward Eva and Erin as soon as Killeen disappeared. Ray rushed toward the door he disappeared in and tried to get it open but there was no handle from outside. He rushed toward the throne, pressing the button but the door wasn't opening any longer. It was obvious that Killeen had disabled the door’s system.“We lost him, boss,” Ray informed Ethan who already had Eva in his arms while Erin pressed the bullet wound on her shoulder. Eva was anemic and she was losing too much blood. “Surround the villa and make sure he doesn't get out. Also, call the ambulance to get Eva out of here.” Ethan instructed as he began to walk out of the basement. “Yes, boss.” Suddenly, Ethan halted, a deadly look in his eyes, “Have you released information about Genie and the chief being involved in trafficking?” “Yes. It's going to be released in ten minutes.” Ray answered as he took out his phone to send instructions to the men. “Release information about Killeen too. He sh
The paramedics froze and immediately Eva stood up, holding onto her bandaged shoulder. Her broken knee didn't let her walk well and Erin had to rush forward to hold her. “But you are not fine yet. You have lost a lot of blood.” The paramedics tried to stop her. “It doesn't matter. I will be fine as long as I have stopped bleeding.” Eva shook her head. “I don’t want to go with them. Take me away.” Eva pleaded with Erin. She knew that Killeen could get her anytime soon since he escaped, and the City Hospital was a place he could go into freely, just like the last time she was locked up and monitored in the hospital. Erin pursed her lips as she also had the same thought as Eva. “I will take you home.” She whispered to Eva. “Come, walk slowly, Ethan is waiting for us.” Eva nodded and they started to walk away from the ambulance. The paramedics could do nothing since they said they didn't want any more treatment. Their bill would be wired to them later, anyway. Erin and Eva had walke
Ethan’s car was parked outside of the police station as he watched lines of cars arrive just before it. Chairman Davis got out of one of the cars and immediately marched into the police station. Ethan was quite sure he was there to bail Eva out. It would be easier for the chairman to do that than Ethan doing that. Ethan might risk exposing himself if he intervened. On the other hand, Ethan was quite concerned about Erin and Eva. Ray had informed him that Eva was not transferred to the hospital like they claimed as the cameras and devices on Erin were still intact, and nobody had searched them all through the night. Ethan consoled himself in the fact that he could see that they were alright. He patiently waited for Eva and Erin to appear so he could take measures to care for them. A few minutes later, Chairman Davis’ voice resounded, transmitted from the device on Erin’s body and Ethan could hear it.“Eva, my child.” The Chairman cried, his voice shaky. “You… you are Chairman Dav
The car came to a stop with a loud screech in front of the mansion and Eva stepped out, rushing in while she wiped her tears. Her heart ached a lot and she couldn't believe that the imaginary father in her memory was that man. “Eva!” Ethan got out, and went through the gates after her but she didn't stop. He didn't want to be the one to tell her about her past but she had pestered him in the car and he couldn't help but divulge everything in the car. Chairman Davis came after them but he stopped at the gate by Ray, “I am sorry, chairman but outsiders are not allowed into the mansion.”“What do you mean? My daughter is in there and you are calling me an outsider? Step aside this minute or I will order my men to take you down!” Chairman Davis threatened angrily. “Well, I guess your men will fall before you.” Ray sneered with a wicked look in his eyes. He wasn't scared of the threats at all. The Chairman took a step back, breathing in and out heavily while he checked out the mansion
Ethan took one last look at Eva before walking out of the bedroom. As soon as he got out, he realized that Erin had been at the door. “Ethan.” She held him by his hand and directly slipped into his embrace. “I have been waiting for you.” She whispered. “I’m sorry, Erin.” Ethan hugged for some time before letting go. “But I have to go now, I have an important meeting. I will see you later. Please, check on Eva, she will be going in for a scan, you can go with her.”He kissed her on the cheek before walking away. As his back got smaller and smaller, Erin’s eyes got dimmer. She couldn't even decipher whether she was angry or not. Ethan wasn't giving her the attention she needed and she hated that. She groaned slightly and went back to her room, not caring whether Eva was alright or not. On the other hand, Ethan had met up with Ray at the stairs leading to the basement. They went past the cells and Ethan took a look at Jonathan’s cell. He stopped while looking at the corrupt police of
Ethan walked out of the meeting room a few minutes after the elders left with a troubled expression on his face. However, aside from that there was an angry storm brewing in his eyes and Ray could see it. “What are you going to do, boss?” Ray was curious. “What do you think I am going to do?” Ethan smirked. Ray took a deep breath and evaluated his boss’ expression once again, “There is no way you are punishing or throwing Eva out, right?” “Right,” Ethan affirmed. “However, this isn't only about Eva.” “What do you mean?” Ethan took a deep breath and then explained, “The club was passed onto me and the elders have been a part of the club ever since it was founded by the previous boss. They have a few investments in the club to generate revenue for our operations.”“You are right,” Ray affirmed. “But I am the boss here. Everything from the previous boss, his investments in the club, was passed down to me and none of you questioned that because you know the previous boss chose a co
The torture tools called out to him and Ethan picked out the claw hammer, as his eyes flashed with wickedness. He was going to teach Jonathan how not to spit at people next time.He turned to look at the officer who had a fearful look on his face as he saw Ethan hold the hammer tightly. This was even worse than what Ray had done to him.“Hold him up,” Ethan ordered Ray who gladly went ahead to drag Jonathan.However, Jonathan struggled, “Let me go! Get your hands off me!” He screamed and thrashed but he was too weak to even topple Ray over.On the other hand, Ray had him tightly held onto Jonathan as he was eager to see what Ethan was about to do.“Let’s start with your lips first…” Ethan smirked, stretching his hand and with an eerie look, he tucked the officer’s lower lip into the v-shaped part of the hammer.“That’s more like it…” Ethan marveled at his work while Jonathan looked in horror, wanting to run far away from the horror before him, however he was being held in a tight grip
