The man was none other than Jay.“What’s this about?” Ethan asked, unmoved by the lavish entrance.Passersby were already peeping to know what was happening.A few of them took off when they saw the hideous faces of the men in black.“What did you think would happen after the humiliation you put the Walters to yesterday?” Jay erupted in laughter. He took out a stick of cigarette and one of the men in black rushed to him with a lighter.“This is what real power means!” He sneered.“You should be in the hospital after your ordeal yesterday!” Ethan's mockery struck him like a slap on his face.

I know you are upset but think….please..think about it.” She appealed to him calmly as she observed the murderous glare that his eyes held.“Why should I spare this fool? He was supposed to be my friend, yet he betrayed me and even stood by to watch while they executed my mother!” Ethan's voice sounded unyielding. He watched Jay struggle for breath until he became unconscious, before dropping him to the ground with a loud thud.Loretta's eyes widened when she saw Jay's lifeless body on the ground.Though she had witnessed Ethan fight countless times, she had never seen him take a life.She gazed at him in terror, not knowing what to think or say at that instant.She knew that Jay didn't deserve his mercy but she was scared for Ethan and what could hap

One of the 40 bodyguards appeared at the door just as Jay was about to explain.He was limping on one foot and had blood all over his face.Marcus frowned at the sight of the man, his mouth opening in disbelief.The bodyguard went on to narrate everything that happened.“Is that what really happened?” He asked Jay, struggling to come to terms with the fact that only one man defeated all 40 of his highly skilled bodyguards.“Yes, Dad! That's exactly what happened. I barely made it out of there alive!”“I think it's time we involved our friends from outside!” Marcus finally responded with a devious smile.He signaled to another bodyguard and a special mobile device was brought to him.Both Jay and Trevor stared at each other, a wicked smile forming on their lips.***It took Ethan several minutes to calm down.

Ethan's phone rang for a few minutes before he picked up.The loud feminine voice from the other end forced a smile on his face.“Hey, slow down Sam, what are you saying? I can barely hear you when you yell like that.”“Okay, what I'm trying to tell you is that, for the first time in a long while, I finally had a good night's sleep!” Samantha sounded really excited, distracting him briefly.“You were right. Thank you…. thank you. I want to take you both to dinner tonight, my treat! I'm not taking a no for an answer. Send my regards to Loretta! Ciao!” She hung up almost immediately without waiting for a reply.Ethan smiled to himself. He felt slightly proud for being instrumental in restoring Samantha's inner peace.“That was Samantha right?” Loretta asked with a smile.“Yeah, she called to tell me how beautifully she has been sleeping since the Jethro incident.”“She's like a new person, thanks to you!” Loretta grinned. Her memory drifted to her new relationship with her sister.Sarah

Samantha felt at ease. She had recounted to Ethan how well she now slept and out of gratitude she had decided to treat both Ethan and Loretta to dinner.Everyone at the Lopez estate had begun to notice the change in Samantha.Even the maids were not oblivious to it.“What do you think happened to that little sad one? She is now the opposite of herself!” One of the maids whispered to another.“Yeah, it's really weird to see her smiling and happy. Yesterday she even waved at me like she actually noticed me!” The other maid exclaimed with wide eyes.“I'm sure she's found some miracle drug that's keeping her head in the clouds! Feelings like that will eventually wear out!” The other maid scoffed.Samantha quickly checked her phone after she heard it ring. It was a message from some of her friends inviting her for a get-together and coincidentally it was going to be the blue fountain hotel! The same place Samantha wanted to take Ethan and Loretta to, for a lovely dinner.Samantha's friends
