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

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

Ethan's voice stunned Ariella and Jay. Even Martha thought the voice she heard belonged to someone else, someone important until she realized it was just Ethan.Martha furrowed her brows at Ethan.“You useless thing, you've really lost your manners. Have you gone bonkers?” She yelled at Ethan.“Do you think you are the only one capable of inviting the Diamond Rhythms without notice? You must be so full of yourself!” Jay joined Martha to attack Ethan.“Since you couldn't give me a befitting wedding reception, Jay here has taken it upon himself to make up for that. He's going to invite the Diamond Rhythms to our wedding reception,” Ariella added.“And before you start having any funny ideas, you are not invited!” Martha snorted.Samantha's friends were curious to find out a little more about Ethan. They listened with keen interest to the exchange between Ethan and Ariella.“Oh, I see! Frankly, I probably gave you more than you deserved. Even a couple of chipmunks squeaking would have su

There was a displeasurable expression on the face of the man standing next to him.Both men had followed General Cage from Kingston Dome but avoided approaching Ethan.Their instruction was simple, “find out who this guy is!” And so they came to do just that.“Let's go back to tell the boss we found him,” the man with a sly smile bellowed to his counterpart before attempting to leave.“Not yet!” His counterpart roared.“I had a different arrangement with Olivia,” a smirk suddenly formed on his, arousing the interest of his counterpart.“Come with me, I'll tell you what we are going to do.”***After an eventful evening, Ethan couldn't wait to bury himself under his bedsheets.The drive from Loretta’s family home had only added to the exhaustion he felt as he had to take Samantha home before heading to his villa.“You are quite an interesting guy,” Samantha’s teasing remark still rang in his head. She was as amusing as Loretta. Initially, she had been cold towards Ethan but since Jethr
