Thomas yelled in pain, blood oozing from his nose.“Go home boys! Don't be stupid like your captain or what ever you call him, over here.”“He broke my nose again, tear him apart! Don't spare him!” Thomas yelled.As if waiting for a sign, Thomas' men instantly rushed at Ethan, ignoring Ethan's warning.But Ethan's fists tore through them with ease, causing them to crumble to the floor like a pack of cards.Daniel on the other hand heard his brother scream and he instantly became confused.“Didn't he just leave with four men?” He whispered to himself as he out of the sofa and headed for the other penthouse that Ethan and the girls were occupying.Daniel froze instantly as soon as he got to the door.His brother and all four men were on the floor, wreathing in pain.Daniel swallowed hard as his gaze met that of Ethan's, “Hi…Hi….it's me again from the….. from the other penthouse. I just wanted….to check on my brother,” he told Ethan in fear.“Get them out of here then!” Ethan gritted his
The following day, Ethan decided to explore the rest of May Paradise City with the girls.The taxi driver that had brought them from the airport on their arrival to May Paradise City was already outside waiting for them by the time they got out.“Good day Mr. Banks, ladies!” He greeted all three of them as he held his taxi’s door open for them to enter.“Where would you like to go, Mr. Banks?” The taxi driver asked as he turned one the car engine.“Where should we start from girls?” Ethan asked both ladies with a pleasant smile on his face.***Later that day, Mr. Wedge was seen sitting with Thomas, Daniel and Gabriella.“Explain to me again, how an ordinary servant was able to do all these to you?” Mr. Wedge asked, staring at his sons and the men he had assigned to them.“Dad, we are sorry, I know we shouldn't have bothered him but it was all Thomas' idea!” Daniel explained.It had actually been Thomas' idea to force Loretta and Samantha over to their apartment and Daniel, not wantin
Since Ethan couldn't afford to allow anything worry both ladies, he quickly made up an excuse.“I'm fine, it's just something I need to take care of but I'll do that some other time, it's nothing too serious.”Loretta stared at him briefly before nodding, “All right, I'm here if you need my help.”Ethan smiled at her, before wrapping an arm round her back.***“Baby!” Jay yelled into his cellphone as soon as he saw Ariella's call come in.“Guess what? I just spoke with my father and he told me he is currently working on getting Andrew out!” Jay broke the news to Ariella, causing her mood to instantly lighten up.There was an excited scream at the other end of the line, causing Jay to beam with pride.“Darling, I knew I could always count on you! Thank you, baby! I can't wait to show you how grateful I am!” Ariella chuckled naughtily.“I actually had something similar in mind,” Jay gave an equally naughty reply.Ariella chuckled, “And what's that?” She asked.“It's a surprise baby! You
Jay wished the ground would open and swallow him.He had placed the call on speaker with the intention of rubbing his efforts to release Andrew in Ethan's face but instead it has backfired, causing him and his entire family great embarrassment.The head guard began to quiver, “Did you….you…just say Ethan Banks?” He asked Jay, his demeanor instantly changing.Jay nodded with a frown as he glared at Ethan.Sweat instantly broke out on the face of the head guard.He dropped the baton in his hand and began to beg Ethan for forgiveness.“I'm sorry Mr. Banks, I never knew it was you!”The head guard was almost in tears.He turned to Ariella and slapped her hard on the face.“Ahhhh…..” She yelled in pain, her cheeks turning red instantly.“That's for wrongfully accusing Mr. Banks! I should have you thrown out and your ticket revoked?” The head guard gritted his teeth. He remembered receiving details about an important guest coming to the concert hall that evening and he remembered the name
She quickly called one the guards that she saw, “Guard!”“Slap…”But before she could say anything else, a heavy slap landed on her face, “You again? Didn't I just warn you?” The head guard suddenly appeared with a dark look on his face.He had been keeping an eye over the exclusive VIP section from a distance because of Ethan and had spotted Ariella loitering around the exclusive VIP section.Ariella yelled in pain as she quickly grabbed Jay's hand, trying to get him to defend her, “Guard, my girlfriend meant no harm, she only wants to have a word with that fellow in there,” Jay responded, pointing at Ethan through the transparent glass.“Slap…” The head guard slapped Jay instantly.“You both are constituting a nuisance here, get lost or I'll be forced to throw you out, I won't warn you again!” The head guard clenched his jaws.He had spotted Ethan staring in their direction so he quickly slapped Jay in a bid to curry some favor with Ethan.Jay's cheek flashed red from the slap he ha
Gabriella stared at Ethan as she strode to her father's side, “Dad, was he the reason we returned?”Her gaze remained on Ethan even as she spoke to Mr. Wedge.“Yes, my dear, look what he did to your brother's face!” Mr. Wedge pointed at Thomas' face while staring at Ethan.“I'll ask you one last time, what are you doing in our apartment? You have twenty seconds before I lose my patience!” Ethan glared at them coldly.Mr. Wedge suddenly began to chuckle, “This dude is quite bold, I love a man who is bold!” He glanced at Daniel as he spoke, a tinge of mockery in his voice.Mr. Wedge's gaze suddenly darkened and his men suddenly surrounded Ethan.“Now Ethan, or whatever you are called, I understand that you do not know who we are so you can think of this beating we are about to give you as a special orientation program!” Mr. Wedge and Thomas chuckled, his men also joining them.Samantha and Loretta instantly became afraid.Mr. Wedge didn't look like he came to mess around as his men were
Ethan sank into a sofa in his bedroom.Since Ian's penthouse had five rooms, all three of them occupied one each.Ethan's mind suddenly drifted to the small piece of paper and old-looking key the young lad at the park had given to him.He had been so occupied with improving Samantha and Loretta's emotional state that he had forgotten to check out the address on the paper.‘What if it was a trap?’ He thought to himself.He took out the key from his pocket, staring at it for a while.There were inscriptions on it that appeared strange to him.‘What if the lad or the man who hired the kid mistook me for someone else?’ He asked himself.Meanwhile, Mr. Wedge burned with rage as he paced continuously in the other penthouse.“Dad, I know you are pissed but you need to calm down!” Gabriella tried to get him to relax.“Calm down you say? That nobody made a mess of me and you tell me to calm down?” Mr. Wedge kicked the table in front of him, sending it flying instantly.“Who does he think he is
It took the men almost an hour to comb through the entire penthouse.The leader of the team had a rather frustrated look.He glared at Ethan a couple of times but Ethan remained still, enjoying the show he was watching on the television.All the men soon returned to the living room, exhaustion written on their faces.The team leader paced around a couple of times, but halted when he heard Loretta's voice, “What's with all the noise…” Loretta suddenly paused on sighting the strange men in the living room.Ethan turned around instantly, “Hey, you are up! Sorry about the noise, I believe they are done with their search and were just about to leave!” Ethan responded, smiling at the leader while giving him an angry glass.“Search? What search?” Loretta asked in confusion.“I'm not sure myself, perhaps the man here can explain to you,” he responded, still staring at the leader.The leader cleared his throat, obviously unsettled by Ethan's stare, “We are just carrying out a routine search, s
