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
"We have to go back to our initial arrangement,” Sarah finally announced after several minutes of silence. “Let's follow the initial plan. Get me my money and the evidence he has on me and I'll see to it that your marriage to Loretta happens very quickly!” Sarah added, furrowing her brows. Nash clenched his fists. He was beginning to understand how Sarah had initially felt when she told him how difficult it had been for her to take care of Ethan. “I think I need something stronger. Get me something stronger,” Nash yelled at one of the maids, almost causing her to jump out of her skin. As soon as the maid returned, Nash downed several glasses of whiskey, just to calm his pulsating nerves. Nash shut his eyes, relishing the calming effect of the whiskey on his nerves. Suddenly he opened his eyes and a devious look appeared on his face. He knew what he was going to do! *** At Sun City, all the injured men cringed in pain as some medical vans were seen taking them away. Their ve
Ethan gave her a forced smile, “Thank you, Olivia.” The vehicles were taken to Ethan's garage while he and the girls headed into the house. Inside Ethan’s apartment, Olivia couldn't help glaring at how beautiful everything was. Loretta grinned when she saw the expression on Olivia’s face, “Ethan had the exact same look when he first came here!” Ethan couldn't help smiling when he heard Loretta. “Yeah, Loretta has very exquisite taste. She personally oversaw the design of the entire Villa. Loretta chuckled, almost blushing, “Well, I can't take all the credit, I had help from grandfather.” Olivia smiled, still admiring the place. “What can I get you?” Ethan suddenly asked as he took off his jacket. Suddenly Ethan's phone began to ring. It was Tim. “Hello Tim, what's up?” “Boss, everything is set. She's on her way to the Villa,” Tim responded. “All right, good job Tim!” Ethan smiled as the phone line clicked, a devious look suddenly appearing on his face. Meanwhile, Emiliano
A panic-stricken Andrew glared at his father, unable to speak. “Have you suddenly gone dumb? You better start talking before I lose my temper!” Emiliano growled. “I..I…had no choice. It was the only way I could save my neck. Pachenko spared me in jail and in return I was supposed to take Ethan out of the picture so he could get out of jail but when I failed, he gave me another condition, which was to launder money for the red dragons to enable them to exert their revenge on Ethan and the black axe group. I swear I don't know how Ethan got proof of my dealings, I was extremely careful!” Andrew explained before breaking down in tears. Emiliano gritted his teeth, “Apparently, you were not careful enough! Now look at what you caused. Why didn't you come to me?” Martha was almost in tears after she heard Andrew's explanation. “What are we going to do now?” Martha asked, panicking. “Andrew, how in the world did you make such a blunder?” Ariella yelled at her brother. “You should have
"Yes Jay, you both should help my boy. Please all hands must be on deck to save Andrew!” Martha joined Ariella. Emiliano furrowed his brows, contemplating his next move. *** “Mr. Douglas, we might have a problem. Emiliano’s kid just got arrested, we might be exposed!” A slim fellow was seen talking to someone on the phone. The voice at the other end of the line, didn't sound too pleased, “And you called to inform me? What happened to our security protocol? Don't call me again, I'll send word to you! And please lose that damn phone!” The line instantly dropped, causing the slim fellow to frown as he glared at his phone. Meanwhile, Ethan returned to his Villa to find Loretta and Samantha chatting happily. As soon as Loretta saw him, she chortled, “So, how did it go?” Ethan’s satisfied laughter gave her the answer, even before his words. “They didn't see that coming, that's for sure!” Ethan winked at her. Samantha chuckled, “You are really something you know. You mean you watche
“What is it? You sound unusually excited, ” Loretta rolled her eyes at him in a curious manner. “Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Anyway, I have a really good design that I need you to work on pronto. Here it is,” Ethan handed her a rather detailed rough sketch. Loretta stared at the sketch for a few seconds and glared at him, “Did you sketch this?” Ethan simply nodded, unsure of why she was asking. Loretta glared at him in disbelief. She had seen his sketches in the past and none of them…not even his best could be compared to the one she held in her hands. “This is far better than anything I've ever seen you sketch before!” Loretta exclaimed. Ethan grinned, “I've been doing a lot of practice.” Even though she was still stunned, she didn't make any other comments about it, instead, she sat down to study it. “This is brilliant! I still don't know how you come up with these things!” She exclaimed after studying the design briefly. “I'm a business analyst, remember? It's what I
