“You set them up, admit it!”Ethan chuckled, amused by her statement.“Well, those two deserved it for trying to set me up. Besides, they needed to have a taste of what it feels like to be labeled an ex-convict, don't you think?”Loretta burst into laughter, “Remind me never to provoke you.”Ethan laughed deeply, as he made a turn and drove in through the gates leading to the main building.“Hold on a second,” Ethan stopped Loretta before she got out of the Maserati.“You forgot this. It's yours, so you should wear it,” he said before taking out the diamond necklace that the manager had given them a while ago.Loretta blushed, as Ethan drew close to her and fixed the necklace around her neck.As he did that she felt his breath around her neck and she froze instantly but suddenly turned around, her lips inches from his.Ethan lost himself briefly, his lips hungry for hers as he reached for her, pulling her closer to himself to close the little gap between them. His lips had almost touc

Everyone including Ethan got up and moved to the dining table as the maids quickly served different delicacies that made Ethan's mouth water.Samantha, who had been acting like she hadn't noticed Ethan, glared a few times at his wristwatch and also at the one Loretta was wearing.‘I hope he leaves me alone after this,’ she thought to herself.Ethan caught her staring at him and wondered if Loretta's weird sister was all right.Ethan had been too engrossed with work at Lopez Conglomerate to find out what was going on with Loretta's kid sister.It was Maurice's voice that interrupted Ethan's thoughts.“Ethan I can see you've been taking good care of my daughter. Keep it up but try bringing her home more often.”Ethan chuckled softly, “Thank you, sir. I'll do as you've said.”Ian smiled, “It's hard to find a humble young man these days. Men like you are such a rare commodity,” thought quickly crossed Ian's mind as he spoke but he didn't say anything about it, instead he lifted his glass.

Nolan walked out of the Campbell's mansion and as he approached his limousine, a hefty-looking fellow opened the passenger door for him and got in with him.“How was it boss, do you think they would go for it?” His new bodyguard asked.After his last encounter with Ethan, he had spent a fortune upgrading his security and even going as far as recruiting ex-military men as his new bodyguards.“They have no choice. It's either that or they watch their family name dissipate into oblivion,” he smiled mischievously.“Either way, I get what I want!”***As the Maserati pulled up in front of Lopez Conglomerate, Ethan opened the door for Loretta and smiled at her as they passed the former security men from Tasty Grilled Chicken that Ethan had just recently employed.Ethan had barely settled into his office when Tim came in.“Good day Sir,” he greeted before placing a hot cup of chocolate on Ethan's desk.“Good day Tim, thanks for the cup of chocolate. Is the team ready with the reports,” he as

Loretta gave him a piercing gaze, half-guessing what had previously occupied his thoughts.She had entertained similar thoughts just moments ago before Tim told her Ethan wanted to see her when she had some time on her hands.She was somewhat grateful that Ethan never brought up the incident as she wasn't sure how she would react.“I didn't think you would come so quickly,” he smiled, sipping some more hot chocolate more from embarrassment than the need to.“Do you want some,” he pointed to his cup of hot chocolate but she turned it down.“I just had a cup but thanks for asking. So what's up?” She took her seat as she asked.“I wanted us to go over the marketing strategy that the team of department heads submitted. Are you up for it?”“Yes, sure.”“All right then,” he immediately placed a call and had the secretary bring physical copies of the report for both of them to go through.After a hectic day at the office, Ethan and Loretta decided to pick up some groceries at the Mall.After

Henry walked into Ethan's office with Tim following closely behind him.Henry's impression of Ethan suddenly changed as he stepped into his majestic office.“Was this not the fellow my cousin claimed was a nobody?” He whispered, trying to make sense of everything.First, he was convinced that Ethan was an important person, for him to have made them lose in a matter of seconds a contract that had taken them months to secure for months.But then his cousin said he investigated Ethan and it turned out that he was the divorced live-in-son-in law of the Gray family who was recently released from jail, and so his impression about Ethan changed again.Not until Nolan Perez came knocking on their door with a 2 billion dollar too-good-to-true merger deal for a so-called nobody! “Who goes to such lengths to fight a nobody?” He had asked himself.“Mr. Campbell to what do I owe this visit,” Ethan broke his chain of thoughts with his powerful voice.Henry could sense the coldness in his voice but

“Grandfather please hold on!” Henry yelled as walked and saw that his grandfather was about to sign the last part of the document for the merger.Morrison furrowed his brow, pausing to listen to his youngest grandson.“What's this rat up to?” Lucas cursed under his breath, angry that his cousin had stopped their grandfather from completely signing the merger documents.Henry was glad he had made it just in time, a few more seconds and it would have been too late.“Grandfather, we don't need the merger anymore, we have our contract back!” He announced, causing everyone's eyes to widen.“Hahaha…We have our contract back!” Lucas snorted, imitating his cousin mockingly.“How is that even possible? Grandfather, please don't pay him any attention, let's not keep Mr. Perez waiting,” another member of the Campbell family added.“Grandfather, I'm just coming from Mr. Banks office and after apologizing to him, he agreed to return the contract to us on the condition that you allow me to oversee

Ethan woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.It was the same dream he had a couple of nights ago that had woken him up.“Why won't it go away,” he asked himself.“Okay, I've received your message, my lord,” he yelled at the medallion on his neck as if talking to someone on the other end of it.Since he was yet to figure out the meaning of the dream, he found it difficult going back to sleep each time he had it.He peered at his bedside clock, “Huh, it's just nine minutes past four,” he grumbled, unhappy that his sleep had been cut short so early in the morning.An idea suddenly popped into his head, ‘Why not hit the gym,’ ‘Yeah why didn't I think of that?’ he thought as a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Since he had never used the villa's gym facility, he welcomed the idea with open arms.Within a few minutes, he had already changed into his workout clothes and he dashed off instantly in the direction of the gym.Suddenly, a slim figure appeared from the shadows

Ethan's piercing glare scared Titus making him almost piss on himself.“I..I..still have no…idea what you are talking about,” he responded fearfully.Slap…Ethan's slap stunned the security men as it sent Titus rolling on the ground.Loretta's gaze remained the same as she had seen Ethan slap thugs countless times.“You were here this morning while I was at the gym, were you not?”“I know because I perceived the smell of that thing you just dropped but I assumed it was coming from outside, so I didn't think anything too serious of it.”“You must have slipped in using Laura's key card. So what, you came in to poison me?” He's revelation shocked the security men as their eyes widened.“Start talking before I lose my patience,” he warned Titus through gritted teeth.“I didn't know she was going to drink it. It was meant for you,” he finally admitted, shocking everyone. Titus couldn't stand Ethan's menacing scare anymore and he was scared of what he would do to him if he didn't speak up,

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. You should have pleaded for mercy when you had the chance….”“Slap….. Slap….”
