Nobody to cuddle but it was better than cuddling a wretched Beast who confesses love only to stab you from behind.
A slight sigh escaped from his lips.
It was morning already and the sun's ray was already forcing themselves through the Window
"This might be the last time that I will be lying to you." He tapped his bed slightly.
Seeing his phone lying there brought back the memories of the previous night back to him.
But whatever it was that was behind what had happened the previous night, he was certainly going to find out from his grandfather that day.
He rose from his bed. And for the first time in years, he got a proper dose of sleep.
Staring at his wall clock, he noticed that he had just a few hours left to get set.
He stared at his worn-out shoes that were already opened at the tip and his tattered clothes.
Wishing that he could get to the mall and do a quick change, a slight sigh escaped from his mouth knowing too well that he did not have enough time to do that.
And he didn't want to keep his grandfather waiting for him for such a long time.
And it was better to keep his status low for a while. Especially after what happened last night, it was already an eye-opener that flaunting his status all around was not going to be good for his safety.
"I guess that I will have to make do with my old buddies for a while." She waved his head as he got into them.
Since he was already late and could not wait for his bus, he decided that he was going to ride his bike to wherever it was that he was going to as he had always done in the past.Hopping onto his bike, he began to ride away toward the headquarters, the place had always been tightly guarded.
Even when he was in the business and the university applied for sightseeing, the manager of the place, not even the CEO, rejected it within a few minutes, and after pleading, only the children of the elites of the elites could get into the place.
But from what he heard, the manager back then was just being extremely rude now the place was always open but With extra checks.
"At least. That was somehow sensible."
When he got there, he noticed someone that he shouldn't be seeing there.
Someone who made the stream of anger flow through his spine and he jerked.
Who else could it be apart from the fool who stole his wife from him? He wondered if he even knew that the lady that he was getting married to was someone's wife.
This time, he did pretend that he was avoiding them. He Walked over to his car, clutching his hands tightly to control his anger that was rising badly.
While he was walking, it seemed that he was floating in the air out of his anger. He did not realize it When he hit his feet on a stone, throwing him towards the car and snapping Marcel off the fruit juice that he was sipping.
"And what do you think it is that you are doing?" I inquired with a frown hanging on his face but Ethan was not by any means startled by his ugly looks.
"Don't you think that I should be the one asking you that question?" Ethan replied, getting out of his car.
But before he even attempted to answer the question, Marcel stepped into the car slowly and picked up his cell phone.
"You were saying?" He Inquired staring right into his eyes.
"Are you that dumb not to realize that the lady that you are flirting with is married!" Ethan shot the words at him.
But he didn't seem to go off at the revelation.
He only chuckled for a while and turned back around towards Ethan with a dark smile hanging on his face.
One that annoyed Ethan so much that When he clutched his hands harder, it made a cracking sound...
"Did those bones that you call hands make that sound? I guess that you have lacked food for days."
"But anyways, I am not the one that is going to feed a broke ass like you."
"But anyways, I will tell you one thing that you are dying to hear. I knew about it right from the beginning."
"And then you continued chasing her?" Ethan returned to him, stuck with bewilderment.
"Well. She is Beautiful and such a broke guy should not have the better part of her you Know." He chuckled.
"And the only reason that I didn't recognize you that day was because I never really saw you before, just heard of you."
"But I have to say, I never really knew that you were that wretched so that says. That was enough to wade down my anger."
Ethan gnashed his teeth and growled at him but that was only going to make things even worse for him already as Marcel loved seeing him in distress.
"But what are you doing here? The manager isn't going to allow you to go in, you know, right?" He said.
Just then, a lady who seemed to be his sister Walked gradually toward him and mumbled loudly enough for hir to hear.
"We have to go now. I got us a space." She said but Marcel was not yet done with Ethan just yet.
He turned around towards him and brought out a parcel from his pocket.
It was a card sprinkled with gold and silver linen and his hands could feel its texture, as smooth as silk.
"Go on, look through it." Marcel sneered
And though he was really angry. His instants moved him to do what it was that he had to dom
He opened it up and read the first part and just as he had expected, it was a wedding card.
"See you there, you are our special guest and will be in the VIP section." He finalized, walking away from the place slowly.
Ethan gnashed his teeth even harder and his hands folded the card neatly into a ball.
The taste of anger sprinkled all over his face.
He certainly was not going to allow them to go scot-free after what they did.
He knew that the manager would be inside waiting for him already and from the papers that he saw from his sister's hands, they were going to pass that across to him.
A dark smile hovered on his lips as the thoughts of what he was going to do to them flashed in his head.
"Let's see how this rolls." He muttered.
"He brought his phone out from his pocket and searched for the contact of the manager that his grandfather had passed across to him."
"There you are." He mumbled.
Not wanting to call the manager, he began to type a message tagging it urgent.
"A young named Marcel is coming into your office with a young lady right away. I don't care about what they are going to do there."
"I want to get angry upon seeing them." He wrote.
"A request from Ethan Geftan." He used his last name which carried so much authority.
He paused for a while, taking out the thin film that had formed on his tongue With his teeth.
"Let's see how you are going to get off this beast." He growled at himself and his anger was soon replaced by a dark smile.
Meanwhile, Marcel and Nancy gained a quick pass into the building and since they already knew what they were for, they Walked swiftly towards the manager's office but first, they had to meet with the secretary and tender their request."Good day, ma'am." Marcel greeted the lady who was behind the Deck and was putting on a white glittering suit.Pairing away from her computer after what seemed to be like ages, he blinked her eyes for a while and returned her glasses."Good day to you too Mr. Marcel. How may I be of help to you?" She inquired, staring right into his eyes.Nancy brought the documents that they were holding and offered them to his brother who also returned them to the secretary.As a busy person, her eyes could only blink through the important details and afterward, she handed it over to them."This would be a really difficult request since we will be getting new management soon so I think that you should discuss With Mr. Blakes properly." She noted pushing its bottom on
Ethan stood outside for a while staring right into space and looking forward to what was going to happen nextThen he could see them from afar being dragged away as a dark smile hovered on his lips, waking gradually towards them."Guess who just got kicked out." He laughed his hands folded and seeing him, Marcel tried to control himself and made it seem as though it was nothingDusting his hands, he returned his gaze to Ethan who raised his eyebrow."And what do you think is going on? I am just being escorted out as a VIP that I truly am and nothing other than that." He responded but Ethan could already see through his lieThe way that he gripped your hands, it didn't say so I have to say." He responded and walked away from the place while Marcel gnashed his teeth.He got towards the guards and was about to show him the invitation card that he got to see the manager"Hey, this is not a charity organization, please step aside." He heard the person that was in charge of the queue saying
Everyone around stared at what was going on in astonishment. "Who could this poorly dressed man be?" Ethan could hear the whispers filter into his ears like murmurs of bees."But sir. I was about to get him out of this place." The security officer named Mr. Austin tried to say, still clutching hard to his aching face that seemed to want to pull apart."Another word from you and I am going to make sure that I cut off your tongue. I guess that slap isn't enough for you already right?"The security officer shivered on the point that he stood, knowing way too well that he was on the verge of losing his job if Ethan was anybody important.But a part of him screamed out that he could never be anyone that big.It's clothes, cheap body spray. Everything about him spoke of a low key life.Mr. Blakes walked towards Ethan swiftly to apologize on behalf of the mishap."M...." He was about to say but Ethan shot a stare at him, not ready to reveal his identity yet."Don't do that. For now, I am ju
His words broke into stutters as he tried to find his words but he found it difficult."Sir please I need this job. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I don't think you were just a bagger and all I did was for the best interest of the company." His eyes moved erratically, threatened by fear.Ethan's eye blinked knowing way too well that the security officer was trying to manipulate him.But it was somehow interesting and he wanted to find out more about this man. And thanks, he had the best more than knew everything about him."So Mr. Blake, can you tell me more about Mr. Austin here? What's his name and why did my grandfather make him so immune." He outlined the details of every single thing that he wanted to know about him.Mr. Blake stammered for a while and his hands skimmed through his head as he did not know much about him."Sir, I don't know much about him." He replied.His face flushed With disappointment. "How can you say that you do not know anything about him?" He inquired.
The act that he just put up made him remember his past. Deceitful and manipulative people who thought that they could use people as much as they wanted to and thought that they were still loyal pissed him off so much.His teeth gnashed against each other as the image that stood before him was replaced by that of the betrayer."But sir." Mr. Austin was about to say but he would not allow him to spit out a single word from his mouth."One more lie from you and I am not only going to make sure that you leave this company but you will leave this city for lying to me." He said but he decided to pretend as though he knew nothing about what Ethan was saying."I don't understand sir. What has to be done to get you angry?" The words on his lips shook."You want to Know don't you?" He inquired and the only thing that he could do was nod his head."Yes sir. And Also make it up to you." He replied.Ethan nodded his head, a dark smile hovered on his lips as he loved the game that the security off
His eyebrows furrowed staring right into his eyes as random thoughts ran through his mind."What could that even be?" He thought in his head.Without spitting out a single word from his mouth, he waited patiently for Mr. Blakes to state what was wrong but he didn't seem to be ready to say that any time soon."And that would be?" He finally had to break the overbearing silence in the room."Your grandfather told me to inform you that your father is not in good condition." He noted.He was taken aback by the words and didn't want anything to happen to the closest relative that he just meant.Right from the point where he could not see him, he knew already that something was wrong."We should get going in that case." He turned around towards Mr. BlakeHe was led to the car park by Mr. Blake and they got into a white Porsche.His heart raced fast as random thoughts ran through his mind and when he could no longer take it, he Paced out through the window just to view the city and get his m
Meanwhile, Marcel's face was sweaty as he drove in his car through the feet.For reasons that he could not know, his feet were shivering so badly and his hands ached on the starry.Right from the very first day that he had known Mr. Blakes, he had never seen him so angry before."What do you think might have been wrong?" The seat that sat beside him all those while in silence finally broke the silence."I am supposed to know." He could not help but transfer the same energy that he had been given by Mr. Blakes.He could feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through as the thoughts about what happened crossed his mind.The events before that could not help but scream through and only one name surfaced in his head.Ethan.His Hands clenched tightly until it made a cracking sound and the expression on his face deepened.His sister could not help but notice the quick change in his countenance and had to ask what was wrong.Is anything the matter?" He
"That night?" The words came back out in form of a stutter and his grandfather smiled slightly."Of course, you got into a misunderstanding with someone."For what I needed to tell you, you will need to get a suitor soon enough."Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, he coughed almost immediately.His heart was racing fast. He did not ever think that he would want a relationship with anyone."Do you intend to live with me or get a house for yourself?" He inquired, snapping him off from his thoughts and switching off the topic swiftly.He thought about it for a while. He would have loved to live with his grandfather but he seemed to be a busy man and would not want to disturb him that much.It was going to be a really difficult thing for him to do. His head ran through different thoughts and he finally stopped on a decision."I think that I should get a place grandfather." He added."Just as I thought." His grandfather stared at him for a while and returned his hands to hi
