Rags to Stardom Chapter 138
A towering apartment stood before Ethan with some guards standing in front of it.Ethan pulled out his Daytona wristwatch and glanced at the time.He let out a soft sigh as he remembered that every day brought him closer to his mother's funeral.The remodeling project of his mother's home had finally been completed.He spared no expense in the project. Only the best materials had been used, making him spend an additional 50 million dollars outside the initial sum.He approached the entrance to the apartment and the moment the guards saw him they bowed respectfully and hurriedly opened the door to let him in, not daring to lift their faces until he was inside.The guards heaved sighs of relief as soon as he entered inside.They stared at each other with a slight tinge of fear in their eyes.It wasn't every day that they got to meet their leader…..the esteemed leader of the black axe.The inside of the apartment was tastefully furnished. An upgrade had been carried out only recently at

Ethan tilted his chin to the roof in disbelief as he heard everything that Silvia revealed to him.“So the evidence you talked about, where is it?” He asked after carefully listening to her.“I…I have it hidden in my apartment on Broadway Street! That is the only copy left. I was grabbed by Dahlia's bodyguards while I was trying to deposit a copy at the bank,’’ she explained to Ethan.“And you are just telling me this now?” He asked her with a frown.“I'm sorry, I haven't exactly been myself since the incident,” she apologized sincerely.Ethan clenched his fists.What if he was too late? What if Dahlia's bodyguards had already found it?“I don't mean to be hard on you but do you realize the repercussions of you not telling me? It means your sacrifice might have been for nothing because no one would believe a word you say and Dahlia would still come after you!”Silvia gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.“Dear Lord! What do we do?” She exclaimed as everything Ethan just told her

Davis' bodyguards instantly opened the backdoor to his Bentley as they saw him approaching.They all got into their respective cars as Davis' motorcade sped off.Gerald picked up a file that had Ethan's picture pinned to its cover, studying its content carefully.“There's nothing extraordinary about you yet you have managed to cause me so much trouble!” He thought.He laid back before hitting the button on an intercom, “Call Skyler! Tell him to see me!”“Ethan Banks, if you are hiding anything, be rest assured that I'll find it,” he narrowed his eyes before taking a whiff of his cigar.The scantily dressed ladies soon returned to his side, running their fingers all over him as his vehicle zoomed off.Meanwhile, in another vehicle parked several yards away was a man with a sophisticated-looking device in his hands that was directed at the point where Gerald's vehicle had been parked.He picked up a mobile phone and dialed a number, “They just left boss and I think they are headed your

“They are here already,” he whispered to himself as he emptied the contents of the safe into the backpack he was carrying.He ran his fingers through the content until he found a blue-colored thumb drive.A chuckle appeared on his face as he returned the drive into his backpack.The sound of the engines he had just heard became even louder, indicating that they were only seconds away.A bright idea suddenly came to his mind.Meanwhile, Leo and the rest of the men slowed down as soon as they saw Jack's car.“This is the place guys! Leo announced again over the walkie-talkie.“Get the hell out of the vehicle and bring me that fool!” Douglas yelled as he jumped out.Two of the bodyguards went to the Audi R8 and found Jack unconscious. He had been knocked out cold by Ethan!They quickly revived him and helped him out as they joined the others to go after Ethan.The steps leading to Silvia's apartment creaked under the weight of the bodyguards as they all marched in.Suddenly, they heard t

Dahlia's previous expression instantly became a nervous frown as she saw 5 menacing figures walk in.“Ambassador Gerald, I didn't you were coming!” She spoke uncomfortably.Davis frowned as soon as he spotted the Ambassador as well.“To what do we owe your visit, Ambassador?” Davis asked, shifting uncomfortably.It was the second time he was seeing the Ambassador in less than 24 hours and it wasn't a good sign.Even though both men had agreed not to be seen together publicly.The men who walked in with Gerald all held icy stares that made everyone in the living room uncomfortable.“What do we offer you, Ambassador?” Dahlia asked, stepping back tearfully.“Oh, absolutely nothing?” Gerald finally spoke.“I won't be staying for long.”The look in Gerald's eyes told Davis that something might be amiss.He gestured to one of the men behind him and he suddenly bowed and left.“Ambassador, where is your bodyguard going to?” Dahlia asked, as her eyes followed the menacing fellow.“Don't worry

Ethan was shocked as he approached the kitchen and found Loretta and Samantha preparing dinner. The aroma of the food was simply unbelievably inviting.“Hmm….hmm…” He cleared his throat in order to gain their attention.“What are you girls up to?” He asked grinning.“We are making dinner!” Samantha announced, still feeling slightly sleepy but opted to spend more time with Loretta.The two were getting closer and closer by the day.Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly and wiggled his nose.“Okay, you can come out now! I know you are there!” He voiced out with a chuckle.Laura poked her head from underneath the cabinet instantly.“Damnit! How did you know she was in there?” Loretta asked, laughing.“Does anything ever get past you?” Samantha asked, disappointed that he had caught them.“Not when it includes you two and the kitchen,” he grimaced.“Someday, we are going to take you head-on in a cooking contest!” Loretta threw an open challenge.“Bring it on girls,” Ethan chuckled.“But until

Skyler chuckled hoarsely. It intrigued him to see that they still feared him even after he was no longer a member of the group.He sniffed in air like one who had been caged and forced previously to endure stale air.There was an aroma he perceived and it appeared to be coming from inside.He smiled deviously, licking his lips in anticipation.***Ethan drove like one who was being chased, speeding through traffic lights like they were mere decorations.The way he had felt only made sense to him after the image came flooding in.She was in extreme danger and he might just be too late.The Maserati's powerful engine came through for him as in no time he slowed down in front of the safe house and leaped out even before the engine went off.Inside the apartment, Skyler went from room to room, searching for Silvia.He soon became irritated as he yelled out her name.“You are never going to find her that way!” A powerful voice sounded from behind him.Skyler furrowed his brows before turni

Gerald lay down by his pool with a pair of sunglasses over his eyes.A beautiful petite lady could be seen massaging him in a slow but rather sensual manner.“Oh, girl! If you keep doing that, I'm never going to let you leave!” He laughed, enjoying her feminine touch on his shirtless body.He turned around as she worked her fingers slowly on his back.His face suddenly contorted in pain, “Hey bi**h, watch it!” He roared in anger but before he could turn around, he heard a cracking sound from his back.Gerald yelled in pain, gritting his teeth while struggling to turn but the pain prevented him from doing so.A fellow with a mischievous grin suddenly stood over him.“Hello, Ambassador! I heard you've been looking for me, so here I am.”Ethan suddenly bent down, slapping the sunglasses from the Ambassador's face.“Guards!” He yelled through gritted teeth but no one came to his aid. Even the female that had been massaging his back was nowhere to be seen.“You can yell all you want but no
