"Your act is rather irritating, Mom and I’m so disappointed!” Samantha yelled. Sarah frowned, “What's wrong dear? I still don't know what you are talking about.” Loretta gritted her teeth, “So, you still choose to pretend right? What were you two doing here anyway?” “Calm down baby, we were only discussing some of our wedding plans. It was supposed to be a surprise,” Nash came up with an excuse very quickly. Ethan shook his head, “You are of no use to me, Nash. So, I won't waste my time talking to you.” He turned to Sarah, “Are you telling us that you didn't send this woman?” Ethan asked her, pointing at the gorgeous actress. Sarah glanced at her briefly and scowled at both the actress and Ethan, “Why are you asking me such a question? Are you trying to use me as an excuse to deny her?” Loretta yelled at her, “Mother, there is no use pretending, we know about your plan. We saw your messages!” Sarah furrowed her brows, “What messages? I don't know this woman and I defini
Pachenko was more determined than ever to destroy the black axe group for good and he believed that his freedom would also be more easily achievable if they were out of the picture, hence, the order for his men to go on with the attack that was slated for the following day. Meanwhile, Ethan and the girls sat in the living room, each one reminiscing about the events of the day. All three of them, especially Ethan and Loretta, were exhausted after a hectic day. Ethan stood up and returned after a few minutes with the hamburger and sandwiches from the restaurant. “Anyone still interested in these?” Ethan finally broke the silence between all three of them. Both girls nodded in unison with forced smiles on their faces. “Sure, I'm famished,” Samantha responded, reaching for a sandwich. Loretta also reached for one as Ethan sat beside her. Ethan observed both ladies for a while before speaking, “I know you both do not feel like talking about what happened with your Sarah but I'm sorr
“Has anyone seen Andrew?” Ariella suddenly asked. Martha frowned, remembering that she hadn't seen him that morning. Both Martha and Ariella had worried looks on their faces. Jay thought for a few seconds before responding, “Maybe he's left already for Sun City.” Ariella frowned as she considered Jay's response. But why couldn't he just wait for us if that was the case? It was still relatively early in the morning, especially for someone like Andrew who wasn't known for getting up early in the morning. “Relax, I'm sure he's fine. Besides he is not a kid. Must you lot always worry about him like he is one? Emiliano’s voice rang out as he alighted from the stairs. He had overheard them talking about Andrew's absence and instantly dispelled their fears. Emiliano noticed all three of them looking exceptionally nice, so he enquired, staring at them, “Where are you all going, looking so finely dressed.” Martha chuckled, her excitement suddenly returning as she explained where they
As Ethan alighted from the vehicle, General Cage and several other high-ranking and highly decorated military officers stood still with their hands held at Akimbo in a salute for him. There was a massive uproar from all who gathered, anxiously waiting for his grand entry. Martha was the first to catch a glimpse of Ethan. She instantly lifted her handkerchief to her eyes, wiping them severally as if trying to take off an invisible veil that had suddenly covered her eyes. “Huh! Isn't that Ethan?” She suddenly yelled, pointing her fingers in the direction of a fellow standing by the motorcade. Ariella and Jay whose eyes were already facing Ethan's direction, squinted their eyes as they tried to get a clearer view of the fellow’s face. There was a gasp of surprise on both their faces as soon as they confirmed what Martha had just said. “It's actually Ethan!” They both yelled in unison, their faces filled with shock. “How could that be?” Ariella asked in disbelief, wondering if Etha
There was a satisfied smirk on Ethan's face as soon as Jay moved back. Ethan looked incredibly rich and powerful in his grey Stuart Hughes Diamond edition suit. Even his custom-made shoes with pure gold finishing, sparkled as he walked, exuding pure luxury and wealth. “The ground where you now stand was the same ground my poor mother walked on for several years before she passed!” Ethan's smirk softened as an image of his late mother flickered through his memory. Ariella's eyes widened as she turned around to look at the place. The transformation was incredible, evident that a lot of work and resources had gone into the place. She had initially gotten the feeling that she had been to the place before but she had quickly dispelled it as her mind confusing the place with somewhere else. Ariella had detested Ethan's poor background so much that she had quickly ridded her memory of anything associated with where he had grown up, so it was no surprise that she couldn't remember Ethan
Ariella suddenly broke into laughter. “Hahaha….You? Lopez Conglomerate's head of operations? You must be out of your mind if you think me, my boyfriend, or my mother would buy any of this bullshit! Don't forget we know you more than anyone else here does!” Martha furrowed her brows, “I think it's time we sent a message to that boss of yours, demanding for your dismissal! This charade has gone on long enough! We all came here with the hopes of seeing him instead what do we get..a lunatic pretending to be him! Even your mother would be ashamed of you!” Something in Ethan instantly snapped when Martha mentioned his mother. “What did you just say?” Ethan walked towards Martha in intimidating strides, his fists clenched so hard like he was about to hit her. Loretta sighed deeply as soon as she heard Martha mention Ethan's mother. She knew the presence of the Grays was a bad idea on its own but now that they had even mentioned Ethan's mother, things were going to decline even faster.
The tough-looking man was none other than Drexel, Pachenko’s right-hand man. Martha was so thrilled when she saw that Andrew had come with Drexel and the men from the killer squad. “Ahh…Mr. Drexel, your words are like music to my ears. Please break him into pieces very quickly! No one will miss him, I assure you. In fact, you will be doing us a favor!” Martha spoke to Bruno excitedly. Suddenly, a series of Range Rovers drove in, parking side-by-side with the SUVs as several men totaling ten in number, jumped out of them wielding metal clubs. “Who amongst you is Ethan Banks?” One of the ten men who had just arrived asked. “And who are you?” Ethan asked, rolling his eyes. “We are from Mr. Gray! We were asked to crush you to pieces and tear this place apart! I don't suppose you have any problems with that,” the man responded as he glanced at the rest of the men who stood behind him, chuckling with them. Andrew beamed with even more excitement than before on hearing that his father
Andrew suddenly began to quiver as Ethan walked towards him with the metal club. Martha was too shocked to speak. Ethan had taken out the dreaded members of the killer squad and men from the red dragons with only one hit from a metal club! It was unbelievable! Martha, Ariella, and Jay would have found it extremely difficult to believe had they not witnessed it with their own eyes. Even Augustine Tage and all the other high-ranking members of the black axe marveled at the strength of their esteemed leader. General Cage also glared at Ethan in admiration. Loretta was instantly relieved after she saw Ethan defeat the men with the metal club. She had been scared for Ethan despite knowing how strong he was. Samantha chuckled as soon as she saw the relaxed look on her sister's face, “You were scared for him right?” “Don't worry, I won't tell him,” Samantha whispered into Loretta’s ears. As Ethan glared at Andrew, fear gripped him. Andrew swallowed hard, “I…I…” he struggled to spe
