So it was his grandfather's doings but how was he even aware that all of this was even happening to him?
Then he remembered the words of his grandfather, I Know everywhere in the city and I have eyes distributed all around. Such a thing will never happen again, understand my watch.
His voice re-echoed in his head.
Soon. The phone of the manager beeped and he read through it. Streams of sweat flowed down swiftly from the corner of his face and his palms were sweaty.
"What the hell have you done?" He yelled turning over to the receptionist who was already shivering hard with so much fear like someone that just caught a cold.
"I don't understand sir." She could not help but return, now that she was already shivering with so much fear and cold shivers running down her spine.
The manager turned around towards Ethan with dread in his eyes and he knelt before him.
"I am sorry Sir. I didn't Know that.." He could not get himself to say anything as his words broke into multiple shivers and his lips shuttered.
Seeing what was going on, Evelyn, her boyfriend, and the receptionist were beyond confused and they could not comprehend what it was that was going on there anymore.
Ethan noticed that as more customers came in, the manager was going to cause a scene there so he assisted him up from the floor and stared right into his eyes.
"You don't have to do this, mister." He said.
He drew over to him and stared right into his eyes to calm him down before he made way for his ears.
"Nobody knows about it yet and nobody has to find out anything about it." He announced.
The manager got the message that Ethan was trying to pass along almost immediately and he nodded his head.
"Once again. I am sorry sir and to show my sincere apologies. You are fired." His tone shot up immediately his gaze shifted to his receptionist who shivered at the sound of the word.
For a while, she could only quiver
"I am sorry sir. Sir, please don't do this to me. You Know that I need this job." She pleaded.
But all her pleading fell on deaf ears because the manager was working on the orders of a higher authority.
Soon, two security men fully guarded walked into the place and turned around towards the manager.
"Take them out of this place." He wanted to say but then Ethan stopped him...
"Not yet." He whispered.
He drew gradually towards him and whispered some Words that only the manager could hear.
"I will do that right away sir." He concord.
He called out to one of the guards that came at his request and whispered to him to
With a slight bow, the guard walked away from the place and returned a few minutes later with package parcels in his hands, About to hand them over to the boss but his hands stopped him.
"For them." He noted gesturing to Evelyn and her likes.
The guard nodded his head and handed it over to them while they looked into it..
"Leftovers!!" The receptionist said with a broken voice as tears continued to drizzle down from her eyes.
"Cool thing that you noticed," Ethan noted.
"Just a little gift from me to you." He said and this time, there was a dark smile hanging on his lips.
"Now you can take them to the gutters where they belong."
He watched as they were thrown away by the yells and tears of the receptionist reaching out to him.
"I am Sorry again sir. The manager apologized.
"I never knew that you were."
"There is no need to mention." Ethan stopped him. "I should get going now."
He pulled away from the place with a happy feeling. For the first time, he was really happy.
For once, he was going to be the voice of the voiceless and fight for every single person who had fallen prey to the powerful hands out there
And from his deep knowledge after graduating from business school, he was going to gather immense wealth until he was on top of the world.He walked home gradually and took his bath, already exhausted after everything that had happened to him that day.
But as he was about to lay his head, he got a really strange phone call that got him wondering.
He wasn't the kind of person to receive such. And even when he did, because he was too poor to get himself into any kind of trouble. He usually avoided them.
"But there is no need to avoid such things any longer. You are richer than the richest man in the City now." He reminded himself.
Taking a sip in the fresh air, he picked up the call but after that, there was a sudden pause.
"This is Ethan Geftan right?" The caller noted after such a long pause that seemed to be like forever.
It seemed as though whoever it was that the caller was, a lot was already known about him or a lot of research had been done on him already.
"Or was it due to what happened earlier?" He could not help but think.
For some reason, he could not get his hands around, his heart was racing fast as though it was going to burst through.
"Who are you, what do you want from me and how do you even know me?" Multiple questions streamed out of his mouth, making whoever it was that was at the other end of the phone burst into dark evil laughter.
"Do you think of me as a robot? To answer all those questions at a spot?"
The audacity of the person made Ethan twist his hands with so much hate and disgust Even without seeing him already.
"If you aren't that scared, at least you will tell me who you are." Ethan ventured.
"Scared? That is one thing that can not be linked to me. And as for my identity, there is certainly no need for me to hide it from you."
"I am Bel Geftan. Your sweet brother." He announced it to me but for a while, I could not think straight.
"What?" I exclaimed, really confused.
"I have a brother?" The words came out of my mouth as a surprise.
"And I am the sweatiest thing that will ever happen to you." He finalized and ended the call but for Ethan, he was still stiff.
When he was finally able to get a hold of himself once again, he tried as much as he could to call back the number but it was already blocked.
"Shit." He exclaimed.
Random thoughts ran through his head. Just within a few days, he had received a lot of Gbas gobos (unexpected news) and it seemed as though his head was going to tear apart.
"But if he was my brother. Why did he have to announce himself in such a way? Or is he some weirdo? A spoiled thing?" He could not even get himself to place his thoughts on anything anymore.
"But he said he is the sweatiest thing that is ever going to happen to me. That should be a good sign right?"
His phone made a beeping sound once again and Adrenaline flooded into his bloodstream, forcing him to reach out to his cell phone as soon as he called and it seemed as though he had a text message.
"And your worst nightmare too." He read once again.
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 w
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
