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

Davis Kings clenched his fists as he heard his wife narrate the tale of what Ethan had done to Simon and how he had also jeopardized the collaboration deal with Ambassador Gerald.The Kings family had suddenly become a laughing stock, thanks to Ethan.Davis had been watching his evening show, a program that showed various embarrassing moments of elite families for the entertainment of others.He enjoyed watching other elite families being displayed on the show for one embarrassing thing or the other and it had always intrigued him until moments ago.Davis had always taken pride in the fact no member of the Kings’ family had ever been involved in anything embarrassing enough to be featured on the show. There was just no one bold enough to cause such a scene!“How did Simon get involved with such a fellow in the first place?” He asked as his fists crashed into the table, causing a loud bang that left the maids shaking.They had never seen Queen Dahlia or Davis in such a mood before.

There was hesitation at the other end of the line and a part of him began to worry.“Yes….yes, I'm fine,” a frail voice finally answered, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.It was still very early in the morning, so he was quite alarmed when he saw her call.He had told her she was free to call him at any time, yet he felt troubled when he saw her call.There was a brief pause from the other end of the line before she spoke again, “I couldn't sleep…I was scared.”Ethan felt pity for her. He could tell that she was troubled. Her heart was thumping so loud that he could hear it over the phone.“Did I do the right thing?” She asked him.The intensity of her situation had begun to dawn on her.Initially, all she wanted to do was to try to do the right thing. And it had seemed so easy at first when Ambassador Gerald had offered her a better position with a bigger salary, bonus, and other perks, as well as some money…“money for your troubles,” he had called it, even though it was more t

Simon furrowed his brows as soon as he heard the voice at the other end of the line.“So what were you expecting, for me to pass up the opportunity to finally have your family featured on the evening show?” The voice at the other end of the line appeared not to care about Simon's feelings.Simon couldn't help swallowing hard as peered at the screen of his phone to see if he had dialed the right number.“Who…who is this?” He asked nervously, certain that he wasn't speaking to just an ordinary fellow at Blue Fountain Hotel.“This is President George of Blue Fountain Hotel!” the voice announced proudly.Simon frowned as he heard President George call his name.President George was in charge of the entire hotel and he was usually very busy but now he was even taking calls that were not directed to his personal line.“President George?” Simon asked as if he hadn't heard him the first time.“I…don't understand. Why are you the one answering this call?”George smiled casually, “That's my dec

Ethan's smile deepened.He had been expecting some disturbance but he didn't think they would come this quickly.“And you are?” He asked, staring at the man.The man ignored Ethan's question and took out a cigarette to smoke.“I'm sure you heard me the first time?” Ethan clenched his fists, causing a startling sound to ring out.The man in black overall felt a tinge of fear but it didn't last very long. He was told Ethan was a nobody who only worked for a wealthy individual, besides he didn't come alone, he came in the company of several highly trained men.“I was sent to deliver a message to you!” He finally responded with a smirk.“Trash this place!” He suddenly ordered his men.“Send everyone out!” He added, reveling in the fumes that escaped from his nostrils.Several brawny men swung into action, chasing out people from the lobby.An alluring feminine figure suddenly walked in amidst all the chaos.Causing the men to halt for a few seconds.“Why are you stopping…?” Douglas, the m

Loretta watched as the men sent everyone out.The workers ran out of their offices in terror. Not even the security team could do anything to stop Douglas and his men.Olivia and the thugs she sent also stood and watched Douglas' men in action.They were excited that they didn't even have to lift a finger as Douglas and his men far outnumbered the security men at Lopez Conglomerate both in skill and in number.Ethan's phone suddenly began to ring, it was General Cage calling.“Are you all right, Sir?” General Cage asked Ethan after getting wind of what was going on at Lopez Conglomerate.“Yes General, I'm fine. Don't worry about me,” Ethan assured the General quickly, not wanting his men to come as they were no match for Douglas and the rest of the Kings' highly skilled men.A powerful sounding engine soon roared from outside the building and a few seconds later, Ariella and Jay strolled in like they were coming to a place of amusement.She swiveled the keys to the new Ferrari in her
