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

The 7 grotesque-looking men suddenly regained themselves. Everything that happened to Douglas' men appeared so surreal to them.They were going to watch the show and possibly join Douglas' men in beating up Ethan but now the task fell on their shoulders alone.They clenched their fists as they prepared to attack Ethan.Ariella's mood picked up again as she heard Olivia giving her men the order to attack Ethan. Her previous disappointment instantly vanished.“Hahaha, you may have escaped those men somehow but you won't be so lucky this time! Let's see how you escape these thugs!” She laughed disdainfully at Ethan.“Yeah, don't spare him. Tear him to pieces. I'll even double whatever Olivia offered you!” Jay announced to Olivia's men.He had just won his father's approval, which meant he had more money at his disposal.The aura surrounding him was frightening but Olivia's men suddenly had more motivation!Jay had offered to double the generous sum that Olivia was paying them!They had d

Ethan's menacing demeanor caused Jay and Ariella to step back.Loretta stood watching the whole scene. It all felt so surreal.How can anyone take out several men without even moving? Was that even possible?Her eyes followed Ethan who was now a few meters away from both Jay and Ariella.Before Ethan could say anything else, the couple fell to their knees with their heads facing down.“Please let us go. We were stupid to have come here.”Their pleas surprised Ethan.But he wasn't letting them off the hook so easily.“You have both wronged me greatly!”“Ariella, you and your family had only one task while I was in jail. To the care of my sick mother! But what did you do? You let her die!”“We tried to help her..” Ariella attempted to defend herself but Ethan cut her off.“Zip it! Do you think you are talking to a fool?” Ethan had uncovered everything that Ariella’s family had done to him and his mother but he didn't say anything about it.A part of him wanted to just snap their necks a

Zack was filled with shock as he looked around. He tried to imagine what had happened but the image in his mind terrified him greatly.He stared at the janitors as they worked. As the last drop of blood was wiped off the floor, Ethan spoke to him, “No they are not.”“Don't you recognize them?” Ethan's question caused Zack to look beyond their blood-stained faces.A glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.“Are those not the thugs that just escaped from jail?” Zack asked excitedly.“Calm down, my amiable officer!” Ethan smiled.He perfectly understood Zack's excitement. It was not easy for one officer to arrest even a single thug, yet Ethan was handing over 7 thugs who had just escaped from jail. So it was a big deal for Zack.“I had to knock them out so they won't give you any trouble on your way to the police department,” Ethan patted Zack's shoulders.“You are welcome by the way.”Zack didn't know what to say.He owed Ethan so much.Since they had become friends, he had quickly risen t

Ethan sat comfortably in his seat the moment they got into his office.Loretta's expression told him there was a lot on her mind.The ambiance in his office turned slightly dull as he watched her take a seat opposite him.She wanted to ask him how he had attacked those men without even moving but for some reason, she didn't.“What are you not telling me about Dahlia Kings? Why are they suddenly after you? Do I need to be concerned?” She asked him several questions at once without waiting for an answer to the previous one.“Why did you burn their car?” She went on.“Okay, one question at a time,” Ethan's response softened her face a little but it did nothing to calm her fears.“I have something they want real bad and today showed me just how desperate they are to get it back.”Loretta's eyes widened at Ethan's revelation.“If these people are desperate, then that makes them even more dangerous than they already are! Are you certain you want to do this?” Her concern was quite touching b
