“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? Your father owns the building, and so what? Like my sister just told you, we are not interested,

    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

    Ian slowly beckoned on Samantha as he rook her into his arms.“All right, I will speak to your father about it. Please don't cry.”Meanwhile at Sunrise Villa, Loretta couldn't get over what had happened earlier in the day.“Ethan, please tell me again how you knew that it was going to rain earlier today,” Loretta asked, after harbouring the thought in her mind for so long.Ethan had succeeded in getting her to think about other things besides her forced marriage to Nash Barrington.Even though he wished she wouldn't bring up the subject about the rain incident, he still preferred it over her crying her eyes out.“So? How did you know?” Loretta asked again after watching Ethan smile at her question.“I checked the weather report before I told you, although I didn't know it would happen that quickly,” Ethan quickly made up an explanation.He had actually perceived the rain as his senses seemed to be getting even sharper.Loretta furrowed her brows.She hadn't thought about the weather r

It was a message from Sarah!Nash frowned, as he read the message.He quickly grabbed his car keys and walked out of the door.Nash raced to the Lopez family estate.And as he tapped on the door, a maid quickly let him in.“What? What is going on here?” Nash chuckled excitedly when he saw his friends and family members including his parents gathered in one of the massive living rooms of the Lopez family.They all appeared just as excited to see him but his question surprised them.“Why do you look so surprised to see us, son?” His father asked.“Didn't you ask us to meet you here for a big surprise?” his mother finished off his father's statement.Nash frowned, suspecting a fowl play from his parents.“Yes Nash, we all got the same message from you,” his friends concurred with his parents.“What do you guys mean? Dad, Mom, weren't you both away on a business trip? So how come you are both here?” Nash asked, chuckling.“Oh, come on, son. Didn't you arrange fo

    Sarah froze instantly as soon as she heard the sound of her voice coming out of Ethan's phone.Her mind quickly raced back to the day Ethan asked her about the project nine documents.She gritted her teeth, “You bastard! You set us up!”Maurice instantly pulled away from her.“What have you done?” He asked her with a pained expression on his face.“Baby….”“Don't you dare!” Maurice yelled at her, cutting her off instantly.“And you! So you were responsible for what happened to our company? And I was about giving my daughter to you?” Maurice gritted his teeth as he spoke to Nash.“Mr. Maurice, do you remember the project nine expansion deal?” Ethan suddenly asked Maurice.“Yes, I do, but what has it got to do with anything!” Maurice responded.Ethan smiled as he glared at Nash's parents, “Don’t you both think you've indulged this lunatic you call your son, enough?”Nash's parents froze instantly when they heard Ethan's question.“What….. What did you say to me?” Nash's father asked.“I

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!
