“Huh……You also know about that?” Sarah asked in shock.“What? You didn't think I knew because I held my peace about it?”“I'm warning you, Sarah. Stop trying to make an enemy of me or it might not end very well for you! Consider this my last warning, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about,” he warned her before leaving.“Is it my imagination or did this nitwit just insinuate he knew about my plans with Jimmy? Who the hell is this guy and how does he always know what I'm up to?” She wondered.“No, I need a new mobile phone!” She rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower.***Jimmy was outside the Lopez estate when he spotted Sarah driving out.He quickly followed her until they got to a somewhat lonely street before he gave her a signal with his car lights and car horn.“Were you following me?” Sarah asked, looking out the window as if sensing that an invisible force was watching her.“Of Course not! I followed that good-for-nothing to your home and was waiting for him outside befo
Samantha quickly answered the call. From the sound of the conversation, Ethan could tell that it was more of a monologue than a dialogue. “It must be that guy again,” Ethan spoke under his breath so no one could hear him.The call soon ended and Samantha turned to both Loretta and Sarah's questioning gaze, “I heard virtually all the big shots in Stanberry will be gathering at the Coliseum today to introduce a very special person. So since a friend of mine was privileged to work there, I convinced him to help me get in!” She exclaimed joyfully.“And is that friend the one that just called?” Ethan furrowed his brows.Samantha rolled her eyes at him without responding.But her attitude already told Ethan what he needed to hear.Unknown to both Loretta and her sister, Ethan was the special guest that was going to be introduced today.Sarah didn't think too much about Samantha going to the Coliseum since Loretta was also going to be there.She simply rode her Porsche to the front of the ma
“Hey buddy, you are in our way!” Ethan's casual tone surprised the Viper as most other people froze or even dropped dead at the sight of him.“What did you just call me?” The Viper asked, frowning.“Buddy? Is anything the problem?”The Viper furrowed his brows, observing Ethan from head to toe.“When you are done admiring me, can you move away so we can leave!” Ethan's patience was fast wearing thin.Everyone in the restaurant avoided the Viper's gaze, except Ethan.“You don't seem to be scared of me?”“Do you want to die?” The Viper tried putting some fear in Ethan but he remained unmoved.“Buddy, I really don't want to hurt you. You seem like a peace-loving guy, so why not move away and all three of us can be on our way.”“Haha…..you are indeed a funny one. I'm going to enjoy putting out your misery, after all that's what I was paid to do.The Viper took a few steps back before yelling, “The first man to send this poor thing to the world beyond, gets 15 grand on the spot!” The Viper
“Hey, you are late! I've been waiting for you!” The strange man took her hands roughly, causing Samantha to wince in pain.“Hey, champ. Let go of the lady, you are hurting her!” Ethan warned the strange man.Jethro frowned at Ethan, “And who might you be? Her guardian angel?”“Hey, scumbag, that's my sister! Let her go this minute or…”“Or what….huh”“Your sister and I have a special arrangement. What, she didn't tell you? Why do you think she is here then?” He laughed scornfully.“It would be a shame to watch you lose that arm!” Ethan whispered into Jethro's ear.The dark look Jethro saw in Ethan's eyes scared him so much that he instantly released Samantha and walked away.“Why did you do that?” Samantha asked, peeping in the direction that Jethro had taken.“Hey, whatever is going on, now would be a good time to spill!” Ethan had always sensed that Samantha was in some kind of trouble but he never got the chance to find out.“Nothing is going on okay.” She insisted.“Sam, you know
Emiliano was shocked to see Ethan in the hall walking right behind Mr. Tage.“How did this jerk get in? Those guards must be so incompetent!” He muttered through gritted teeth.Ethan stared at Emiliano as Mr. Tage led him across the hall.Emiliano was about to expose Ethan when he remembered the Duke was also expected to be present at the event.“I'll act cool for now until the Duke comes then I'll expose him,” he decided within himself, smiling deviously.Such a stunt was sure to incur the wrath of the Duke.Loretta was the first to spot Ian, “Hey, look! It's Grandfather!”Ethan quickly gestured at Mr. Tage to give him a minute.Ian was surprised to see all three of them.“How did you guys get in here?” Ian asked, frowning.“Ethan got us in,” Samantha replied, grinning.Ian still wore a concerned look, “The Duke will soon be here and he doesn't take illegal entry lightly!” He warned.Ethan smiled, realizing why Ian looked worried, “Don't worry sir, nothing will happen to them. They a
“Stupid woman! Do you know the deep shit you just got me into? You better shut your mouth before I do it for you!”Sarah didn't dare say anything else as she watched Hiram pleading for mercy.“I'll forgive you only if you throw her out!” Ethan's response shocked Sarah.In less than 5 seconds, Hiram had personally thrown Sarah out of the Coliseum.She fumed as she called Jimmy to narrate everything to him.Meanwhile, Emiliano re-entered the Coliseum smiling. Martha had called, so he had to step out to take her call. When she heard Ethan was also present at the Coliseum, she screamed in anger but Emiliano's plans eventually consoled her.Ian was shocked to see Hiram shaking like a leaf in front of Ethan. Even with all the power and connections that his family possessed, it would still be impossible for him to make Hiram cower like that in front of him.The Coliseum soon shook with excitement as Duke's entry was announced.He was the underground lord, with several thousand men at his com
Ethan woke up early the following day but decided to allow the chef at the villa to take care of breakfast.After tasting the sumptuous meal from the Chef, Ethan decided it was time he took a back seat when it came to cooking.He decided that his mornings would be used more for meditation and exercising at the gym.A thought came to Ethan's mind as he did his morning drills at the gym.It was the same thought that bugged him since he rescued Morrison at the hospital.The strange man in white told him that he hadn't even scratched the surface of the medallion. Which meant, there was so much more that he could do with the medallion.It made Ethan wonder if he could even bring a dead person back to life.“What if Morrison had died, would I have been able to bring him back to life?” Ethan asked himself.After his exercise, he and Loretta had breakfast before they headed to the office.As usual, Tim was already waiting for Ethan when they arrived to help him get ready for his busy schedule
Samantha felt a little embarrassed after landing in Ethan's arms.“Thank you!” She said to him as he helped her stand to her feet.“How did you know I was here, were you following me?” She managed to ask him.“Let's just say I decided to keep an eye on you after the incident with your friend.”“So what was that about?” Ethan stared at her.“I was supposed to meet Jethro here but instead these guys showed up.”“Don't you think he sent them?” He asked, walking to one of the burly men.“I'm going to ask you a question very nicely the first time but after that, I'm going to start breaking things. Who sent you?”A few minutes later Ethan and Samantha left the diner. Ethan called Zack and had him pick up the two burly men.Whoever sent the men made sure it could never be traced back to him if they were caught, so Ethan couldn't get much information from both men.“Please can you keep this between us,” Samantha pleaded as they approached the main gate of the estate.Ethan remained silent for
