Rags to Stardom Chapter 110
The following day, while Ethan was on the wheels, a black SUV with covered plates suddenly stopped in front of him, almost causing him to crash the Maserati.Several other identical SUVs also surrounded him.Almost immediately, about 40 men in black suits stepped out and barricaded the Maserati.A loud snarl was suddenly heard as another man came down from one of the SUVs and walked up to Ethan. 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.

Jay suddenly went silent, unable to speak as he struggled for breath.Life was literally draining from him as he struggled to keep his eyes open.“Ethan, please let him go!” Loretta screeched, rushing to Ethan's side.“Please let him go. 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. His heart kept racing as the words of Jay lingered in his mind.He felt like like exploding! Manipulations, deceit, betrayal! - He felt like a fool all over again. Jay's words gn

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

Simon King was the wealthy heir of the elite King family.The King family was well known in Cedarwood. Their prestige and vast connections made less important families cower at their feet.So it wasn't a surprise to Ethan that the scion of the family was conceited and ill-mannered.There was deafening silence in the hall as Simon's mocking remark reverberated causing everyone's attention to shift to Ethan.Even the musical group that had been playing melodious tunes suddenly paused, their attention fixated on Ethan.“I’m sure your sorry ass heard me punk!” Simon King yelled in exasperation when Ethan didn't bulge.Ethan's calm exterior stunned Simon. For someone who didn't appear important to him, he was unusually calm before Simon.This wasn't something Simon was used to, so it infuriated him.Ethan glared at the musical group. He had been moving his head gently to the music, enjoying the rich blend of their instruments fiddling with his eardrums.Since his senses were heightened, he

Hearing Ethan mention the diamond rhythm so casually, momentarily unsettled Simon.He wondered for a minute if Ethan was capable of pulling off something like that before the mocking expression returned to his face.“The Diamond Rhythms! Are you insane or something?” Simon scoffed.“The Diamond Rhythms would never respond to someone like you and even if they did you would have gotten to them long before now. And how are you even going to pay them?” He shook his head while eyeing Ethan disdainfully.“I'm sure he's just bluffing. Look! The Diamond Rhythms are even performing at Kingston Dome! So how was he even expecting to bring them here.” Samantha's friends began to mock Ethan.“He was probably going to make up an excuse but unfortunately we found out in time that they were unavailable!” Simon King smiled mischievously as he heard the rest of their friends mock Ethan.“Guy! I'm sure he just wanted to feel important! Let's cut the jerk some slack, he's probably never been in the compa

Simon King glared at Ethan, unsure of what to think.He recalled Ethan promising to make sure the Starlight harmonics never perform in any major event again and a few moments later it happened that way!“Could he really have done it?” He wondered.Samantha's other friends began to look at Ethan differently.A person that could instantly ban a popular group like the Starlight harmonics was not one they could afford to offend.Simon King on the other hand wasn't pleased with what was happening, so he quickly called a reporter to find out why the Starlight harmonics were banned.“Ah…you all can relax, it was only a coincidence that the Starlight harmonics were banned at the same moment that this loser promised to have them banned. I just called a reporter friend of mine and it seems they offended someone very important.” Simon explained after dropping his call.They all heaved a sigh of relief, convinced that it wasn't Ethan or his name would have been mentioned by the reporter.Ethan sh
