Rags to Stardom Chapter 112
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

Simon King felt like the ground was about to open and swallow him.He turned around to see Ethan's mocking glare directed at him.His friends on the other hand seemed to be waiting to see what he would do next.They still wondered how Ethan had managed to bring the Diamond Rhythms to perform at the hotel.Since the Diamond Rhythms were extremely popular, there was no way that imposters could imitate them or they would have accused Ethan of doing that.They decided to stay out of the rift between Ethan and Simon, afraid that Ethan might be someone very powerful.Simon King frowned deeply, as several thoughts flew into his mind.How was he going to face his friends after now? He wondered.A wicked smile slowly crept up on his face.They were his friends after all and not those of Ethan's, so there was no need for him to fear!“If you need drinks, why not go somewhere a poor kid like you can afford!” He responded coldly.As far as Simon was concerned, Ethan was a nobody who must have use

Samantha's friends were yet to fully grasp all that was happening.They stared in awe at the General by Ethan's side.The respectful actions and the friendly exchange between Ethan and General Cage left them dumbstruck.For someone who appeared to be unimportant, his actions were the exact opposite.Their jaws instantly dropped when they saw Simon return to the hall, dressed as a waiter.Tried as they may, they couldn't hold back their laughter anymore. Everyone in the hall roared in laughter at the sight of Simon in a waiter's outfit, serving drinks.“This is hilarious!” Amanda, one of Samantha's friends exclaimed. “Who would have thought Simon King would serve us drinks tonight? Ethan beamed with satisfaction as soon as he saw Simon in a waiter's outfit.Loretta and Samantha couldn't help laughing as well when they saw Simon serving them drinks.General Cage had insisted on waiting a little, forcing Simon to be even more respectful towards Ethan.“Sir Ethan, would you want anything
