Mrs. Barrington banged her fist against the table in fury.Ethan had ruined their perfectly well thought out plan!“Calm down my love,” Mr. Barrington gestured to his wife, in a bid to calm her down. He and Nash had gone into similar fits of fury, so he understood how she felt.“I thought you were coming to break news of our imminent release to us, not this!” She responded through gritted teeth.“That fool is smarter than we thought!” Mr. Barrington announced with a slight smile as if just realizing the source of their problems.“Kikikikiki…” Mr. Wedge suddenly chuckled, causing the trio to stare at him in shock.“From the looks of it, you plan on taking another shot at Ethan, my advice, forget about it!” Mr. Wedge warned, shutting his eyes as he swallowed the last bit of his tasteless food.“Forget about it? Are you being serious right now?” Mr. Barrington asked him in shock.Mr. Barrington shook his head in disbelief.His friend had suddenly become a shadow of himself!Their plan to

Gabriella stood at the door, knocking subtly but persistently.After several taps on the door, it finally swung open to reveal Ethan's calm exterior directly facing her.Gabriella froze for a few seconds, gawking at Ethan.“Ethan, who is…? Loretta instantly went silent as soon as she saw Gabriella.“You again? What do you want here?” She asked, scowling at her.Gabriella suddenly cleared her throat, “May I come in?”Meanwhile, at the other penthouse, Thomas appeared to be in a very bad mood.He had barely stepped into the living room when he learned that Gabriella had gone to see Ethan behind his back.“She's in the best position to do this Thomas, so just chill,” Daniel told him after seeing how upset he was.Daniel wasn't too surprised with Thomas' reaction though as he already knew his brother would take the news and it was the reason why Gabriella went without telling him.“You were in on this, huh? You knew she was planning to make a fool of us and you went along with it! How stu

Thomas glared at Gabriella, fuming.“You have the guts to ask me such a question after rubbing filth on our family name?”Gabriella shut her eyes, fighting the anger that threatened to erupt.“Go home Thomas, before you mess things up!” Gabriella warned him, hoping Ethan wouldn't take her brother's misbehavior to heart.“I'll suggest that for once you listen to the voice of reasoning, go home Thomas!” Ethan warned Thomas as well after observing him for a few seconds.“Hahaha…. scared already?” Thomas guffawed while staring at him disdainfully.“These thugs are nothing like our men, they are the meanest bastards…..”“Ahhhh…..”Suddenly one of the burly men dropped to the ground yelling in pain with blood all over his face.Ethan had moved with lightening speed, slamming him hard against the door.Thomas’s eyes instantly opened wide as they met those of Ethan's.The rest of the burly men drew back in terror. The wailing sound of one of them was enough to cause them to rethink.“What do

Thomas suddenly had a demure look as he cowered before Ethan.His cheeks burned from the slaps the thug had given him, causing him a tremendous amount of pain.Gabriella stared at him, wishing she could poke her fingers at his swollen cheeks to inflict further pain on him for being so stubborn.Loretta on the other hand kept a close eye on Gabriella as she didn't trust her intentions.‘She must be using her father's incarceration as an excuse to be here,’ she thought to herself as she observed Gabriella.Ethan suddenly spoke, breaking the brief silence in the room, “Thomas here would be joining your father in jail, it would only take one phone call to the narcotics department to make that happen, at least that way he can show us just how tough he really is!There was a sly smirk on Ethan's face as he spoke, causing Thomas to gawk at him.“How did he find out about that?” Thomas held a shocked expression on his face as he whispered to himself.Thomas instantly became even more afraid o

Gabriella nodded, her response surprising Ethan.“Tell me everything you know about it!” Ethan responded eagerly.Meanwhile at the other penthouse, Daniel was becoming increasingly concerned about Gabriella and Thomas.He knew Gabriella had gone to speak to Ethan about letting their father go but he didn't trust his brother to let it play out, especially with the way he had stormed out of the penthouse.What if he had gone to cause trouble at the other penthouse and caused Ethan to change his mind or even hurt them? He wondered.“No,” he responded to his own thoughts out loud, causing the men in the room to stare at him.“Is everything alright?” One of the men suddenly asked, observing the frown on Daniel's face.Daniel shook his head, “No, I think we should head over to the other apartment, Daniel and even Gabriella might be in trouble!”The men who had been engrossed in their game of cards, suddenly paused, everyone of them turning their full attention to Daniel.There was a look of

“The man looked exactly like you!” Gabriella re-echoed her words with a higher pitch as if her voice hadn't been audible enough the first time.The words shocked both Ethan and every other person in the room.Gabriella's words kept replaying, again and again in Ethan's head.Does it mean that the words of the stranger were indeed true?Was his origin really from May Paradise City?So many questions that demanded answers raced through Ethan's mind as he forced himself to concentrate on the rest of Gabriella's tale.“The man beckoned on me to bring the key. He had a smile on his face when he explained that he had been looking for the key,” Gabriella paused, giving her words time to sink in.Loretta stared at Ethan, a tinge of excitement in her expression.Although she was still skeptical about Gabriella's intentions, her instincts told her that Gabriella's tale wasn't fabricated.“Ethan, if what she's saying is true, then your ancestral roots may actually be here in May Paradise City!”

Daniel stood outside the door, unable to make up his mind on whether to knock or to yell the names of Gabriella and Thomas.The apartment appeared to be quiet, with no indication whatsoever of anything dangerous happening within it.He snorted at himself for even attempting to come here in the first place.He thought about returning to the other penthouse but if he did, the men would know he couldn't see his plan through and would make mockery of him at his back.He was still pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what to do when the door suddenly opened to reveal several pairs of eyes staring at him.***The plane touched down at the Stanberry international airport as Ethan, Loretta and Samantha alighted with smiles on their faces.The trio felt glad to be back from their vacation as they made their way to the parking lot where Tim was already waiting for them.Tim had insisted on personally picking them from the airport and Ethan had accepted slightly reluctantly.“Boss, ladies

The sound of a scream suddenly interrupted Maurice's depressing thoughts.Maurice furrowed his brows, his confusion palpable.“What's that sound?” He wondered, peeping in the direction of Ian's room.A part of him wanted to go and see what the noise had been about but he shook his head instead, recalling his own reaction when he saw his father's lifeless body.The image still haunted him every time he closed his eyes.He had left his father's room as quickly as his feeble legs could carry him, having endured several days with little to no food.It still felt like a terrible nightmare to him, one that he desperately wished he would wake up from.He suppressed the feeling of going into his father's room as seeing his father's lifeless was only going to cause him more pain.“But what will I tell the girls?” He suddenly asked himself in a barely audible tone as Loretta and Samantha crossed his mind. He was grateful that Ethan had been able to hold the girls off for a little while even tho
