“Good, I see our stocks are already rising, keep it up son,” Marcus tapped his son on the shoulder before leaving the office. Jay chuckled excitedly as soon as his father left. He was happy his father had finally gotten over the license incident. ‘If things went according to plan, he would make his marriage to Ariella an even bigger event,’ Jay thought to himself, smiling widely. Meanwhile, at Lopez Conglomerate, Ethan sat next to Loretta sipping a cup of coffee. Samantha suddenly walked in, excitement written all over her face. “Hey Sis, what's up, you look so excited,” Ariella hugged Samantha, beaming. “Yeah, she does, right,” Ethan chipped in, smiling. Samantha giggled as she withdrew from Loretta's arms, “Guess what, Sis!” Loretta furrowed her brows, “You know I can't guess, so what is it, Sam, out with it already!” Loretta’s response did the opposite of dampening Samantha’s mood, “Stanberry’s art exhibition is tonight!” Samantha broke the news, laughing. Loretta frowned

But suddenly, she broke off in the middle of her statement the moment she saw Ethan. “Huh, you again? How the heck did you get in here?” Emiliano gritted his teeth as soon as he saw Ethan, “This is unbelievable! Are you all blind? How can anyone in their right senses see this jackass and call him an important fellow!” Emiliano's remark made several of the guests frown instantly with some of them struggling to restrain themselves from hitting him. Emiliano smiled, confident that they wouldn't dare touch him as they all knew who he was. Ethan shook his head, “There are blind people here but they certainly aren't any of these people.” Ariella sneered, “Are you trying to convince us to pretend with you, to forget that you are nothing but filth? Sorry, but that's never going to happen!” Jay gave Ariella a coquettish look, as if trying to make Ethan jealous, “Forget about that loser, baby, we came here to appreciate the beautiful world of art and maybe spend some money, something that

It became obvious to Ethan that Mr. Martini was terrified of Andre. Emiliano, Martha, Ariella, and Jay who had paid their respect to Andre immediately he walked into the hall, and glared at Ethan, sneering, “It seems there were is no limit to the misbehavior of this good for-nothing! Of all the paintings to misbehave with and he chose that one? Even a fool can tell that such a painting is worth a lot!” They exchanged all manner of mocking comments, raising their voices so Ethan could hear them. “And who is talking about the painting? I'm talking about the entire building! I want to buy it!” Ethan suddenly responded with a mischievous grin. Several eyes instantly widened the moment they heard Ethan's words. Even Loretta and Samantha were shocked by his response! Why in the world would he want to buy an art exhibition center? Mr. Martini stuttered as he tried to speak, “Mr. Banks….I….are…what…. what are you saying?” The art exhibition center had actually been struggling in reality,

But Ethan didn't pay much attention to his words, instead, he waved at him, “I'm not obligated to prove anything to you, so think anything you want!” “As for you!” Ethan suddenly turned to Andre Camino, “I'm giving you a couple of days to return everything you stole from this building, I'm aware that you've sold most of the artworks you stole, so I suggest you go back to retrieve them! If you fail to do as I say,” Ethan suddenly turned to Ariella, Jay, Emiliano, and Martha before he continued…..“you would automatically be making yourself my enemy and I don't spare my enemies!” Ethan suddenly gestured at the guards who had been in the hall watching everything unfolding. “Get this garbage out of my sight!” Ethan's command stunned everyone! Mr. Martini’s eyes widened instantly as soon as he heard Ethan's command. He didn't think Ethan had it in him to speak to someone as dangerous as Andre Camino! The guards immediately obeyed Ethan's command, dragging Andre Camino by the collar, out

“How can you tell me to calm down after what we all witnessed tonight? Don't you think we should be worried?” Jay asked Ariella with a frown. Ariella bit her lower lip, trying to fight the conflicting thoughts within her, “I don't think we should, baby, see, I spoke to my parents and they convinced me that everything Ethan did at the art exhibition center wasn't real. He was only trying to get us to fall for his tricks yet again,” Ariella tried to convince Jay with her parents’ explanation. As soon as Jay heard Ariella’s words, he relaxed slightly. Since Emiliano didn't believe any of the theatrics that Ethan had put up, he had absolutely nothing to worry about! Ariella slowly took the bottle of tequila from Jay and led him to his bedroom where she cuddled him to sleep. Meanwhile, at Ethan's Villa, Loretta and Samantha could be seen speaking to Ethan with so much excitement. “I can't believe you humiliated Andre Camino the way you did, way to go, chief!” Samantha gave him a mockin

Ethan stared at Loretta, smiling, “Is that jealousy I sense?” Loretta's cheeks instantly turned pink as she fought hard to avoid Ethan's coquettish gaze. “I meant after everything those people put you through, do you think going to their wedding is necessary?” She rephrased her question whilst still avoiding his gaze. “Well, I was invited, was I not? Besides, I'm more entitled than anyone else to be there and I won't pass up the chance to bid them farewell one last time,” Ethan’s smile was laced with so much mischief. Loretta furrowed her brows, “I see your point, but….” Ethan suddenly held her hands, causing her to instantly break off, “No buts, just trust me, okay?” His reaction was soft yet so reassuring. She placed her head gently on his chest, taking in the pleasant aroma of his cologne. He smelt good, too good for her to resist the burning desire that burnt within her. She lifted her face to his, swallowing hard as she peered into his eyes, and in another moment, her lip

“Calm down bro, I think you should just focus on your wedding plans for now,” Trevor sighed, observing his brother's countenance. Jay remained silent for a few minutes as he considered his brother's words. “And DredgeTek? What happens to it?” Jay asked, shaking his head. After investing so much into acquiring a dredging license and setting up the new company, the business was hardly making any money. “DredgeTek would have to wait too! Just take care of yourself and your wedding to Ariella, okay?” Trevor responded, patting his brother on the shoulder. Jay nodded, glaring at his phone as it rang out. “Okay bro, that's my cue, I'm out. Talk to you later okay?” Trevor shook him before leaving. “Hey baby, miss me already?” Ariella's voice sounded from the other end of the line. “What's wrong?” Ariella asked when she didn't get any response from Jay. “Business hasn't been good!” Jay's voice sounded unusually hoarse. Ariella frowned, “That's terrible, baby. And our wedding is only d

The Lopez family must really be in mourning though, not to have released any official statements since Ian's demise. Emiliano’s sources had told him that Ian had indeed passed away, so he had initially wondered why they were yet to release anything official about it. “All right, we are all set then!” Emiliano finally responded, smiling at his wife. *** Finally, it was the day before Jay and Ariella’s wedding. Several guests who had already flown in from outside Cedarwood to grace the grand occasion were already lodged in their hotel rooms. The Grays' family home was also a beehive of activities as Martha yelled out commands to several maids ahead of her only daughter's big day. Several members of the extended Gray family came in to help in whatever way that they could. “Jake! Where is Jake!” A member of Gray's extended family yelled from the door. “Auntie!” Ariella yelled excitedly as soon as she saw her auntie. Auntie Phina as Phina Gray was popularly called smiled softly as

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!
