Others in Ethan's shoes would have been too scared to say anything, but Ethan on the other hand spoke to them with so much boldness. The third man furrowed his brows as he turned to Ethan, “Seems you are determined to get beaten. Guys how about we teach this fool a big lesson.” As if waiting for the motivation, the other two men nodded in agreement as they both clenched their fists. All three men suddenly charged at Ethan but he was too swift for them as he simply moved away causing them to crash into the door. Ethan chortled with a mocking expression written on his face when he saw them wreathing in pain, “What fool sent you boys here anyway?” *** Siren sounds blared outside a magnificent building as several men alighted from the vehicle dressed in their smart uniforms. They walked toward the entrance of the building and tapped a few times on the door. The butler suddenly opened a slightly startled expression written on his face as soon as he saw the men in uniform door, “Welc

Meanwhile, Ethan, Gabriella, Loretta, and Samantha went out that evening for a celebratory dinner. Ethan was surprised when he walked into the restaurant to find the Diamond Rhythms playing one of their sensational songs, making the mood in the exquisite restaurant perfect. Ethan turned to Loretta grinning, “You didn't have to.” Loretta chuckled, “Same way you didn't have to purchase the movie production company for my sister's sake.” Ethan smiled, “You found out about that?” “Let's just say I did some snooping into some of your secured files,” she replied, winking. Ethan shook his head, laughing. He knew sooner or later she would find out that he had been responsible for Samantha’s first movie role. “Thanks for doing that, it means a lot,” Loretta added, taking one of his hands as they joined Samantha and Gabriella at their table. *** News of Mr. Camino’s arrest was soon on the lips of everyone especially those whom he closely associated with and one of them was Damian Crown!

Ethan was still busy at the art exhibition center when his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number! Ethan furrowed his brows as he picked up the call, “Yes, who is this?” There was a loud chuckle at the other end of the line, “Am I speaking to Ethan Banks?” The person at the other end of the line asked disdainfully. Ethan responded with a cold tone, “Who wants to know?” “I have your girls with me, say hi to them!” The voice responded, laughing mischievously. Suddenly Loretta and Gabriella's voices could be heard in the background, screaming and calling out Ethan's name. “Do I now have your attention?” The voice at the other end of the line suddenly asked. Ethan's face darkened instantly as his grip on his phone tightened, “What do you want? If you touch even a strand of their hair, I'll end you!” There was a loud chuckle at the other end of the line, “Meet me at the address I just forwarded, don't be late!” The phone line suddenly went dead. Ethan clenched his fists as h

“Now, the way I see it, it is you who has a choice to make! You either willingly release the ladies or I put you down and allow my trigger-happy companion standing outside your apartment to go in, you choose!” Ethan narrowed his eyes at Mr. Douglas as he spoke. Mr. Douglas froze instantly, gawking at Ethan in disbelief. ‘How did he find out where I live?’ He wondered. “You idiot! You dare threaten my family?” Mr. Douglas suddenly yelled, gritting his teeth. “You have ten seconds to decide or I'll make the decision for you!” Ethan suddenly snapped as his patience wore thin. Mr. Douglas was about to speak when a loud bang was suddenly heard as he dropped to the ground. “Time up!” Ethan announced as he swiftly took out Mr. Douglas’ men, including Randall. In another few minutes, Zack arrived with several other men from the Cedarwood Police Department and picked up Mr. Douglas and all his men, hauling them into a police van. Ethan simply waved as Zack and the officers drove off. *

Ethan already knew that a massive dump was going to hit the foreign exchange market any moment from now and since he would be busy with several other projects especially that of the art exhibition center, he needed somebody with proper knowledge to handle his investment in the foreign exchange market. “Yes Mr. Banks, I know a good investment expert,” Michael Rivers nodded excitedly, happy to be helpful to Ethan. “Okay, that's great, Mike. I'd like to see him immediately!” Some hours later, Ethan sat in an office at Labell Innovations with a young man in his early thirties, glaring at a computer screen. “Stan, right? You came highly recommended. Your portfolio is actually quite impressive too! I think you will be a good fit for my team,” Ethan smiled, shaking Stan’s hand. “Thanks, Mr. Banks. So what's your starting capital?” Stan enquired. “I'm looking at investing 300 million dollars,” Ethan told him casually. Stan's eyes widened in shock at the huge sum that Ethan wanted to inv

"Yes, you did!” They both responded in unison, bursting into laughter immediately as they stared at each other before exploring the apartment.Ethan's phone suddenly began to ring.It was Ian!“Hello son, how was your flight?” Ian's rich voice could be heard over the phone.“It was great, Mr. Lopez. We are at the apartment.” Ethan responded.“Beautiful! I hope you like it. I had the building manager reorganize it before you got there.”“Thank you, Mr. Lopez, it's perfect,” Ethan smiled, though he sensed that something was on Ian's mind.“Is everything all right, Mr. Lopez?” Ethan suddenly asked.There was a small sigh from the other end of the line, “I’m a bit concerned about the girls, how are they?”Ethan glanced in the direction of Loretta and Samantha who were busy checking out the rooms.“They are great, Mr. Lopez but I have the feeling that they aren't the only reason why you are this worried,” Ethan responded gently.Ian chuckled slightly, “You are very perceptive, Mr. Banks.

Ethan had just finished speaking with Olivia over the phone.He, Loretta and Samantha had taken a stroll around the neighborhood and were returning when he received the call from Olivia, so the girls went ahead of him.“Hey girls, you both look so gorgeous, why don't you join us over here, we are having a private party,” a young man in his early twenties was seen glaring at Loretta and Samantha.“Thanks but we'll pass!” Samantha simply responded as she brought out the key card to open the apartment's door.“Wrong answer sweetheart,” another fellow stepped out, responding to Samantha's remark.“You must be new here, so I'll permit your response just this once. You see girls, our father owns this beautiful building and as such we own you and everyone else living here, so when we tell you to jump, your response should be ‘how high' got it?”Loretta shook her head, “Since when is that a thing?

Ethan and Loretta sat by the the poolside with their feets 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 alright,” 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 alright. 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 can do that
