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

Maurice stood at the door leading to Ian's room glaring in shock at his father.Ian smiled weakly at his son, “Hey son,” his frail voice was heard greeting Maurice.“Father! This….this is impossible!” Maurice exclaimed, rushing to hug his father.Ian winced slightly in Maurice's tight embrace causing Ethan to interrupt them, “I'm sorry Mr. Maurice, but your father needs a lot of rest. He's body is still very weak.”Maurice nodded, flicking off a teardrop.“I was quite carried away, I hope I didn't hurt him?” He asked with a frown, afraid he may have hurt Ian.“No son, this man is tougher than he looks,” Ian responded with a weak smile.Ethan chuckled at Ian's response, happy to see that Ian's sense of humor was still intact.Dr. Kris who had been screaming in excitement before Maurice came, was yet to get over what Ethan had just done.He suddenly dropped to his knees before Ethan, “Sir, I'm sorry but I'm not qualified to even work for you. I want to appeal to you that you make me you

Loretta nodded in agreement before responding, “I feel great actually. Better than I've felt in a long time.”Ethan had used a nerve relaxation technique to cause her to fall into a deep sleep, making her feel extremely relaxed as she woke up.Samantha walked into the room at that instant, squinting as well, having just woken up, “Hey Sam, you are up as well?” Ethan chortled at the sight of Samantha’s dishevelled hair.Samantha shot him a warning look, squinting her eyes, causing Ethan to laugh even more.Loretta stared at Ethan for a few seconds before responding, “Wait a second, how is it that you've been so active? Didn't we all board the same flight?”Samantha shook her head, the same thought suddenly occuring to her.Ethan didn't look anything like them. He looked like one who had been up, several hours earlier and both ladies didn't understand why.“I'm just waking up myself, your grandfather’s call actually woke me up,” Ethan swiftly shifted the focus of both ladies to Ian, who
