“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
“I know what's going through your mind but you are wrong.” Ethan tried to explain but Loretta walked out in anger.Ethan went after her, “Loretta, listen to me. Your sister was in trouble and I went to help. She only hugged me to say thank you but made me promise not to say anything to any of you guys. That's what happened!”“I reported the matter to the police department and the men are behind bars, you can call to find out.”Loretta listened and instantly became calm.“So how did you know she was in danger?”“I had a few guys in the area and they called me when they noticed Samantha being carried by some men,” he had to come up with an explanation.Loretta felt convinced after hearing Ethan's explanation.“So that means someone has been watching you? She finally asked.“Yes and I have my suspicions on who is responsible!”***Jimmy excitedly waited for the result of the fire he had just lit.Since he saw a good opportunity to set Ethan up, he wasted no time in using it.He figured t
Jimmy heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the mobsters behind Ethan.“What took you guys so long?” He asked furiously.“Any second now and I would have been dead meat!”“You are still not off the hook yet!” Ethan squeezed one of his fingers, snapping it instantly.Jimmy yelled in pain.“You fools! Are you going to just stand there and watch him torture me!”One of the mobsters shot Ethan a kick that he easily blocked with his hand.Ethan responded with a counter move that sent the mobster into a nearby dumpster.Suddenly the leader of the mobsters signaled to the rest of his men to stop.“I apologize young master, I didn't know it was you,” the leader went on his knees, begging Ethan.The other mobsters looked at each other and wondered why their leader was kneeling down before Ethan.“How is it that you recognized me?” Ethan asked, frowning.The Gambino mobsters do a lot of collaborative work with the black axe, so I recognized your ring.“Ah..I see.”“Why are you backing up this scu
An hour later Tim brought his findings about Jethro.Ethan studied the report before him with keen interest.“How accurate is this, Tim?” Ethan asked with raised brows.“Very accurate boss.” Tim assured him.“Okay, thank you, Tim.”“How can Samantha be rolling with the likes of this guy?” He wondered.Jethro had been arrested for countless crimes including, theft, kidnap, assault and murder.The guy was the worst kind of criminal and yet Samantha claimed they were friends.Ethan picked up his phone,“Tim, I want you to find out the connection between Samantha and Jethro.”After dropping the call, he cleared his table and left for Loretta’s office.Loretta was sketching the design for the new prototype when Ethan walked in.“Oh, I see you are working on the new device already!”“Yeah, since the first prototype you suggested has been so successful, I decided to take the second one very seriously,” she grinned.Ethan chuckled, “I'm glad you are taking it very seriously. I was heading out
