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
Simon felt like his world was about to crash as he quickly thought about what to do. His heart rate slightly increased as he imagined the disappointment his mother would feel when she saw him.“Oh Dahlia, you didn't tell me your son worked here as a waiter. Are you now keeping secrets from your dear friend?” Melinda wasted no time in confronting Simon's mother.“Damn it!” Simon yelled, trying to slip through a nearby hallway but it was too late. He could already feel his mother's piercing gaze behind him.“What nonsense are you spewing now Melinda…” Dahlia stopped in the middle of her response when she recognized the unmistakable figure that she had given birth to and watched grow up into a man.“Simon! What in God's name are you doing in those clothes?” Dahlia's fury was unimaginable at the sight of her beloved son dressed as an ordinary waiter.There was a subtle chuckle from her friends as they soon realized what was happening.“Simon King, a waiter? I thought they just secured a
Ethan chuckled as Loretta said something funny in his ear.Samantha beamed as well, enjoying the company of Ethan and Loretta more than all her friends put together.Since Ethan made Simon dress as a waiter and serve them drinks, Samantha's friends had become suddenly courteous towards him.There attempt to curry favor with him amused all three of them, causing Loretta to joke about it in small whispers to Ethan.Not that Loretta couldn't make such jokes openly to their hearing but she didn't know how Samantha would act, so she decided not to.General Cage had left after receiving an urgent call from the base, promising to return if Ethan needed him again.Ethan took a peep at his Daytona wristwatch and looked around, a frown forming on his face.Loretta noticed the expression on his face and enquired, “Is there a problem?”“Simon isn't back….” Ethan didn't need to speak further as he saw the disdainful look on Simon's face. He was in the company of a popular feminine socialite.“What
Queen Dahlia's annoyance could be seen from a mile away. Not only did someone with no background make Simon serve drinks at the hotel but he also howled mocking comments at her and her son and now her friends are present with her!A thundering sound was suddenly heard as not less than 12 fierce-looking bodyguards stormed the hall.Their intimidating presence sent fear to everyone present in the hall…everyone but Ethan who didn't even flinch.Simon glared at the men, his eyes widening instantly.These were the specially trained bodyguards of the King's family. The King's family had different sets of bodyguards, according to their capabilities. Since the King's family had dealings with very important people in closed circles, they took their security very seriously.Queen Dahlia chuckled at the sight of her bodyguards. After she heard that Ethan had invited General Cage, she decided not to take chances. Each of the men she invited was specially trained to handle even the toughest comman
Ariella spat out the words in such a scornful manner.Ethan furrowed his brows as he turned around to look at her.Ariella and Jay along with her mother when standing a few meters from him with contempt written on their faces.“He was my ex-husband. We got divorced after he got out of jail!” Ariella enjoyed the look that the others in the hall gave Ethan as she spoke about him.“He doesn't get to live happily with this lady beside him after messing up my life,” she whispers to herself with a devious smile.“She's right Queen. This punk has been both but trouble ever since he got released. We would be so grateful if you could put an end to his miserable existence!” Jay's tone held so much resentment.“Queen Dahlia, please listen to what my daughter and her boyfriend are saying. This piece of trash doesn't deserve to roam about freely. I still don't understand why he was released from jail in the first place! He even had the guts to lay his filthy hands on me!” Martha chipped angrily.“
The silence that followed Ethan's remark was defending.Queen Dahlia’s mind raced quickly as she tried to figure out how Ethan came about such sensitive information.“Did someone put you up to this?” Queen Dahlia suddenly asked.“Was this whole charade with my son a bid to attack me?” Dahlia wondered if Ethan actually knew anything or if he was only grasping at straws.“Mom, I'm sure he knows nothing…let's finish him off and be done with…” A thunderous slap landed on Simon’s face, reviving the pain General Cage had inflicted on him earlier.“Shut your mouth before I lose it! If you hadn't brought this lunatic in here in the first place, none of this would be happening!” She gritted her teeth in anger.“Did you just refer to me as a lunatic?” Ethan clenched his fist instantly.“Let me show you what a lunatic is capable of!”He dialed a number on his phone, “Put Silvia Wright on the phone!” He ordered the person on the other end of the line.Within a few seconds, a feminine voice was su
Simon gritted his teeth and was about to respond to Ethan when he caught the cold glare of his mother.He knew his mother was in a very bad mood and he wasn't about to make her more angry, so instead he walked towards Ethan.“What can I do for you…Sir?” He asked Ethan with a forced smile.“Oh, you would be serving us until we are done here,” Ethan responded with a mischievous grin.Simon was filled with rage but since his mother didn't want him to do anything, he remained calm and did as Ethan said.Dahlia left two of the bodyguards behind to wait for Simon while she left with the rest.Meanwhile, Ariella was still in shock as she watched everything that unfolded before them.“Did that good-for-nothing ex-husband of yours just threaten Queen Dahlia?” Martha finally summoned courage to ask after Dahlia and her bodyguards left.“How can a small fry like him threaten Queen Dahlia?” Jay snorted.“Then why did she run off like that the moment he mentioned that name?” Martha asked, furrowin
