Rags to Stardom Chapter 234
Nash dropped his phone, shaking his head. Sarah had gotten into a frenzy after watching the live broadcast of Ethan hanging Andrew out to dry. News of Andrew’s arrest has already circulated and it was one of the most trending stories on the media. The live broadcast only made Sarah more apprehensive, causing her to mount some more pressure on Nash. “Relax! I have my people working on it as we speak! It's only a matter of time before that jackass is kept in his place,” Nash had assured her. He tapped a button on his desk, “Jamie, come to my office immediately!” Meanwhile, at Lopez Conglomerate, Loretta could be seen working on the new design that Ethan had just given to her. After that, she proceeded to the lab but was surprised when she saw Ethan there. “Hey, you! I've been waiting for you,” Ethan chuckled when he saw the surprised look on her face. Ordinarily, Ethan would probably have been at his mother's apartment, crying his eyes out but Loretta had been not just a pillar

Several employees were also seen casting alluring glances at him. Since Jay was the heir to the Walters' empire, they all desired him. “Oh…these ladies….they keep tempting me,” Jay whispered, flashing a naughty smile at one of the ladies who kept trying to entice him. Trevor walked into Jay's office at that instant and saw his brother staring at one of the ladies, “Oh, don't go there bro, cos dad is not going like it at all!” Trevor warned him. “But she is kind of cute right?” Trevor added, chuckling. Jay chuckled as well. His brother was right though, Marcus was not going to tolerate any improper conduct in the office. Suddenly Jay's phone began to ring. “Damn it! She must think I'm talking to my father about Andrew!” Jay banged his desk when he saw Ariella’s call. *** “Okay, we need to try it out and see how good your code is,” Loretta's voice echoed in her office as she and Ethan stared at her computer screen. They had both spent the last couple of days working on Ethan's

Loretta settled on the sofa with a bowl of cereal in her hand. She had been agitated after the attack on the company several hours ago. Ethan on the other hand didn't allow the problem get to him as he tried to encourage Loretta, “Don't worry, we will bounce back. Eat, relax and tomorrow we will determine a way forward.” “But how are we going to do that?” Loretta countered. There was no telling how much damage had been done until they looked through everything themselves. Ethan grabbed a spoon and joined her in her bowl of cereal. “If you want to keep worrying while I eat up your cereal, then be my guest.” Loretta rolled her eyes at him and they both chuckled as they stared into each other's eyes. Meanwhile, seated behind a parked vehicle somewhere in Cedarwood was the uncanny fellow and Nash Barrington. “Okay boy, what have you got for me?” Nash asked. The uncanny fellow took out a brown envelope from his jacket and handed it to Nash. Nash perused the contents of the envelo

Samantha glared at her mom, “Why the excited expression? Did something good happen?” Sarah chuckled, “Come off it! You don't expect me to lay down and mope all day do you?” “Have you checked what time it is? You've literally moped the day, Mom!” Sarah didn't pay much attention to Samantha’s response, “I'm down now and that's what's important.” “Have you heard what happened to Lopez Conglomerate?” Samantha suddenly asked. “Oh, yes dear. It's quite unfortunate what happened,” Sarah responded, making a sad face. Samantha thought it strange that her mother was happy on the same day that a tragic incident had taken place at the company but she said nothing in that light. Maurice and Ian suddenly walked in with sad expressions written on their faces. “Dad….Grandfather!” Samantha rushed to hug them both. “I heard about what happened at Lopez Conglomerate, I'm sorry!” Samantha apologized, knowing how passionate both her Grandfather and father were about the family company. “Come dear

"Come on! That isn't my place! It's left to Loretta and Nash to come up with a convenient date!” Maurice was beginning to get tired of Sarah's insistence on Nash and Loretta's marriage. “But it's still within your right to do so, after all, she is your daughter! Besides, I don't think Nash would mind,” Sarah ran her fingers across Maurice's chest, tenderly. “Okay, fine. How about two weeks from now?” Maurice finally gave in, in a bid to stop her from pestering him. “That's perfect baby, I'll ask her to come over tomorrow!” Sarah responded excitedly, hugging Maurice, almost suffocating him. *** Nash glared at his phone that had just started to ring, his vision fuzzy, “Hello Nash, guess what?” An excited voice rang out from the other end of the line. Nash smiled when he heard the excitement in Sarah's voice. “Just tell me, baby, what is it?” Nash responded carelessly. “Baby? Nash, are you drunk?” Sarah yelled, looking around to be sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversati

Nash frowned, “That won't be possible mother, I have to be at the Lopez estate this morning. Maurice has fixed a date for my wedding with Loretta.” His mother's face instantly lit up. “That's great news! I'll let your father know then. Congratulations son!” His mother left his room in excitement. Nash smiled when he saw his mother's reaction. Meanwhile, Ethan and Loretta were about to leave for the office when Sarah called asking Loretta to come over briefly. Ethan recalled how disturbed Loretta had been the last time she had been called that way to her family home. “I don't think you should go. I'm sure whatever nonsense she has to say to you can wait. We just suffered a major blow barely two days ago and I need you in top shape if we are to navigate our way through this!” Ethan spoke to Loretta. Loretta sighed, “I know but she claimed it was my father who requested my presence.” “And who requested your presence the last time? Besides, since when did she become your father's s

Loretta glared at her father in shock, “What? You can't be serious, Dad!” “Dad, why are you doing this?” Samantha yelled at Maurice. “I gave your sister a choice but…” “Let me stop you right there, son. It was my decision to give Ethan that position and it was also mine to keep him there, so don't blame the innocent girl for your decision. At least be bold enough to own up to it.” Ian furrowed his brows as he returned to his study. “Grandpa wait!” Samantha yelled as she ran after him, leaving Loretta with Nash and their parents. “Dad, so this is why you sent for me right?” Loretta gritted her teeth, glaring at all three of them before storming out. “Wait! Where are you…” But Loretta was gone before he could finish speaking. “Call Ethan and have him come get her!” Now damn it!” Maurice yelled at Sarah when she hesitated before picking up her phone. Nash on the other hand felt very satisfied as he exchanged glances with Sarah when Maurice wasn't looking. *** Ethan was in the m

Ethan and Loretta sat by the poolside with their feet dangling in the water. The air was slightly chilly as the wind blew past their faces. Ethan ran his fingers through his tussled hair as he stared at Loretta. He could imagine the numerous thoughts that were running through her mind. “With you beside me, it feels so easy to believe everything will be all right,” Loretta finally spoke, staring blankly at the sky. Staring at him made accepting her harsh reality more difficult so she struggled with herself to avoid his gaze. “Everything will be all right. You are not alone you know?” Ethan responded, his gaze still resting on her tear-stricken face. He handed her his handkerchief as if just noticing her tear-stricken face. “How can it be? When I've just been condemned to a life of sorrow by my own father?” She asked, her eyes instantly becoming watery. She felt like locking herself in her room and crying her eyes out. But she knew Ethan would never let that happen. “No one ca

Gripping the club, Chuck suddenly swung it hard in Ethan’s direction, aiming for his head, but Ethan's sturdy grip easily caught the club in mid-air.Chuck struggled to retrieve the club from Ethan's powerful grip but all his efforts were in pain.“Is that all you've got?” Ethan suddenly asked after watching Chuck struggle to retrieve the club from his grip.Chuck’s frustration was immediately palpable as he tried to land a punch on Ethan’s face but Ethan stopped it with only one finger and swung the club at Chuck's face.“Bang!” In another second Chuck was on the ground with blood oozing freely from his mouth.All the other customers who had initially looked down on Ethan, suddenly gawked at him.“You've simply been a pawn, so I'll spare you and your men. Leave now and don't ever come back!” Ethan warned Chuck as he and his men struggled to get to their feet.Mr. Orlando was also about to leave but Ethan stopped him, “Not you!

Mr. Orlando’s discomfiture was palpable as he clenched his fists in rage, almost launching an attack on Chuck, “You moron, what do you think you are doing?”He yelled at Chuck who simply frowned, “We have a bit of a setback but I'm handling it. I was just about to put this poor fool in his place before you showed up!” Chuck responded, ignoring Mr. Orlando's outburst.Mr. Orlando gritted his teeth. It was almost impossible for him to deny his involvement any longer, “You had a very simple task! Take the money quietly and leave, yet you blew it, you and your incompetent crew!” Mr. Orlando ended his statement, with an irritated expression on his face.Loretta couldn't contain her shock! She and several other customers, including Gabriella, gawked at Ethan and Mr. Orlando.“Let me guess, the last robbery incident here was also planned but you took the fall for it while Orlando here pulled some strings to get you out!” Ethan responded glaring at both Orlando and Chuck.“I'm also guessing t

“What was I even thinking when I turned down his proposal initially?” Clarissa asked herself, smiling as she watched the security guard preparing to hit Ethan with his baton.Ethan’s unwavering gaze remained fixated on Darius, even though he was speaking to the security guard, “I would think carefully about my next step if I were you!”The security guard chortled, “What's there to think about? I have the backing of Mr. Darius! Besides, what can a nobody like you do to me, huh?”A well-dressed man came out of the building at that instant wearing a discombobulated expression on his face, “What the heck is going on here?”The security guard wore an excited look as soon as he saw his boss, “Sir, I'm glad you are here! I was just about to call to inform you of Mr. Darius' arrival.”Clarissa chuckled, “Darius is a very important fellow, even the executive director of the museum came out to personally welcome him.
