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?" Her enquiry stemmed through his head snapping him off from his thoughts.
"Who else could it be if not for that fool called Ethan." She heard him saying but she was even more confused than ever.
"Ethan? Who is he and how does he have anything to do with what happened? Is he a thick billionaire or something?"
"Billionaire?" He scoffed.
"Isn't it evident that he rubbed off his bad luck on me?" He said.
But his words got his sister even more confused than he was already.
Random thoughts ran through her head as she tried to screen through the past events of what happened in her head to see if she could get any clue.
The only person that she had seen his brother with was the pitiful fellow. And rubbing off bad luck.
"Could he be the one that he was talking about?" She thought again.
She towards him slowly and stared right into his eyes wanting a definite answer from him.
"Wait! Are you talking about that pitiful fellow that I saw with you earlier?" She shot a stare at him waiting patiently for the answers.
But his next response shocked him so much
"Who else could it possibly be?"
Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, she burst out into laughter clutching hard to her stomach almost immediately.
"Are you serious right now? Blaming him?" She laughed harder than she had ever done all her life. Her laughter broke into a slight cough.
It certainly cannot be him, I am just sure that he is in a bad mood today." She added...
Marcel shot a withering stare at her but that did not go anywhere into stopping her as she continued right in the act.
He was about to argue with her but she had the perfect medicine right in stalk for him.
"What about Beauty? How are you going to deal with her now?" He inquired.
Immediately she said the word, he realized what he should be talking about now rather than Ethan but he just had this odd feeling of pissing him off.
A slight sigh escaped from his mouth again as his mind wandered towards her.
The success of his project today was mainly because of her. She was the owner of the papers that he had taken there to the company
But now that they had rejected him, he did know what to say to her.
And he could not find out the truth about him now, which was that he never loved her.
The only thing that he wanted from her was to take over her family's company and add it to her. He had already plotted the plans and if everything went well, it was going to be nothing other than eating a cake.
"Are you even listening to me?" She inquired with a frown hanging on her face at the fact that her brother was arguing with her.
"Well, what do you suggest?" He inquired because he could not get his mind on anything at the moment.
"Well, I guess that you should tell her everything about what happened." She suggested.
Immediately she spat out the words from her mouth, he spilled out all the water in his mouth through the window.
"What!!!" He exclaimed."
"What else do you even intend to tell her? Lie to her or what? Are you for real right now? Knowing well that she is going to find out about the truth in the long run?" He shot the Words.
Right now, he could feel his heart racing fast, and sweat broke out from the Corner of his face...
That was the only right thing to do?" He thought in his head
"He would tell her that Mr. Blake was not in a good mood and he was chased away. That was going to do just fine."
"I guess you are right?" A slight sigh escaped from his mouth.
"Well, good for you 'cause we don't have much time here Anymore. We are here already." He announced.
He looked up and he could see his Mansion just before him.
And all this while, to make things even worse for him, Beauty, the ever-nervous lady was already outside waiting for him all those while.
His heart seemed to limp out from his chest and the only thing that he wanted to do now was to yell at her but he had to do everything within his powers to control himself.
He drew a really deep breath as he walked towards her after stepping down from the car and the guards helped him with his things.
When she got to him, she kissed him on the neck with so much passion and held his hands tightly.
"I know it went well thank you." She appreciated him.
His gaze shifted away from Beauty slowly and fell on his sister.
Her eyes fluttered and she shook her head. Even without her spitting out a single word from her mouth, he already got the message and he nodded her head to her.
Returning his gaze to Beauty, he stared right into her eyes and held her hands tightly.
"Yeah, it went well certainly." He heard himself and the jaw of his sister fall apart in shock yelling an exclamation.
"What!!"
"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
Marcel was captured by the Beautiful Lady and would have worked if not for the scumbag that was standing right beside her.Meanwhile, Beauty could not find a place in her head to believe that he had moved on so quickly and her eyes farrowed, trying to process things in her head.It just couldn't be possible."I can see that you have gotten a new job haven't you?" She shot a stare at the lady who was standing right beside him.They could not recognize who she was but from the looks of things, they could tell that she was wealthy."I don't think that she realized what she has done to herself." Marcel chuckled."From the looks of things ma'am, I can tell that you have enough potential to get someone better than him.""Excuse you?" Her eyes farrowed and she clenched her fist. "I didn't get what it is that you are trying to say." She added, still staring right into their eyes."Okay. I guess that it's not long that the both of you meant but you just need to Know. This fool here is going to
She tried to regain her words but she had already noticed it. She tried as much as she could to keep her stare away from the beautiful lady but then it was difficult for her as her eyes kept on going backwards."So what are you guys doing here?" Beauty was the first person to inquire."Are you here to get him a new set of clothes ma'am?" She shot a stare at him.Meanwhile Marcel continued to stare at her until she decided to speak back to him.."Mr. Can I know your name?" Her eyes were farrowed but he was already filled with so many smiles that he didn't even notice.He straightened up, fixing the collars of his shift with a broad grin on his face"What the heck are you trying to do?" Beauty frowned at her and was about to stop Marcel but he had already given out his name."I'm Marcel, I'm a CEO, compared to.." He paused since he already knew that she knew who he was talking to."Do you know that it is rather awkward to stare at a lady that way? Coupled with the fact that you alrea
Marcel and Beauty continued to stare at them confused as they tried to comprehend what was going on in their head. "This certainly can't be true right?" Beauty thought in her head. Is her ex turning out to be a young master? It was even possible. "It has to be a mistake right? They might have mistaken him for someone else right?" The Words flew out of her mouth. Meanwhile, Ethan already knew that his grandfather had sent them but he didn't know exactly why. He was confused for a while and didn't know what to do as he did want them to know anything about being an heir. Thoughts Flowed through his mind from hundreds to thousands but out of all these thoughts, a solution was still not found. He drew a really deep breath, deeper than he had ever drawn all his eyes. Then he felt a delicate hand torching the side of his pants and looking down, he noticed that it was Victoria. Even though she did not spit out a single word from his mouth, the gesture seemed to say that he could help.
"Is that so, let's see how you are going to keep your job in that case." He frowned.He felt his pocket and could still feel the card there. Going over to the other end of the vast hall, he switched on a monitor, and a building was displayed on it with a price tag.His feet swayed over to the monitor as his hands gestured towards it."This is a four-bedroom apartment at a strategic location." His deep voice sped throughout the hall, hitting the core of their ears."Do you like it?" Marcel turned towards Beauty and inquired hoping that she was going to be considerate and say yes since it was somehow cheaper.But instead, she shook her head side by side to his disappointment."I think they would have more beautiful ones. And the color, I don't like it." She noted.She gestured towards the sales agent and he was eager to listen to her due to the first expression that she had given to him."I want a large duplex. White with a fine touch of gold. Do you think that you can get me something
The face of the manager twisted into a thick frown immediately. If there was anything that he hated most, it was fraudsters.They had the potential to crumble a business empire to its lowest. He had seen it happen before and apart from that, he has also dealt with a lot of them."And he is even asking for the multi-million dollar estates to choose from." The sales agent added...With the sound of that, his initial anger soon melted into stalk amazement."Was this scammer thinking that they were fools?" Though he had dealt with a lot of them, he could not wait to see this scammer with so much audacity.His eyes skimmed around towards Ethan almost immediately and his eyes farrowed into a smile."And I thought scammers at least have some sense of decency at least to fool their counterparts. You amaze me.""At least you have some sense than the piece of thrash that you employed here."And from the way that he just spoke to him, he could tell that whoever Ethan was, he was really outspoke
Everyone in the hall stood up from their seat without a second thought.Beauty could not believe what she just said before him."It can't be possible. He had certainly cheated." She repeated in her head.Meanwhile, the sales agent turned around towards the manager, still finding it difficult to believe."I think that the machine is having some sort of fault because it's impossible for the transaction to go through within such a period.Without a word, he rushed towards the machine, refreshing' multiple times just to ascertain that there was a fault. But then, it was still the same."Sir, you can't allow him to fool you this badly. I don't know where he learned that trick from but he is certainly a fraud?""And what do you suggest now?" The frown that was hanging on his face this time was vivid."I think that you should contact the financial department so that they are going to run a quick search."But before he could even finish the statement, the manager brought out his phone from hi
The expression on Marcel's face was transfixed with so much shock at the sound of the words.He had already checked his bank statement before that so how can that even be possible?Random thoughts ran through his head but he could not even think of a single one of them to place the thoughts on."What do I do now? Run away. What lie can I even come up with." He thought."I think there is a mistake here. He is a CEO.""See madam, there are a lot of broke CEOs so?"Beauty got the message almost immediately and she bowed her head not knowing what to say this time.Her face all washed up in shame seeing the expression that was hanging on Ethan's face and wishing that Marcel would come rescue her from the situation as soon as possible."I wished I had just allowed him to move along in the first place." She growled in her head."I think that she is right. There must certainly be a mistake somewhere." He finally summoned the courage that he needed to speak up, trying to hide the cold sweat th
Mr. Greftan was admitted to the hospital and placed on bed rest by the doctor. He had a minor heart attack and the doctor warned that it might reoccur if Mr. Greftan wasn't resting well. Keren was still not at work, and Ethan couldn't find her document. He searched all his files but they were nowhere to be found. He was sure he left it in his office. He was worried about Keren but there was no way to reach her. It had been two weeks since the incident and Keren was not yet at work. He thought it was because they made out that was why she was shy about resuming and it broke him when he couldn't find her credentials so he could locate her house address. Worst of all, he didn't have her picture saved on his phone; the only picture he had of her was missing too, and he couldn't explain how Keren’s document mysteriously disappeared from his office. Ethan turned on the CCTV camera to see if Eli was the one who took Keren’s file but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary; all he could

“Impressive!! This is by far the best project you have come up with; I cannot believe it! How did you get this idea?“You see, grandpa, I am not the bad egg after all; I have been breaking my back working on something that would make you and dad proud.“I cannot wait to show Ethan this project; I am sure he will be so proud of you.Eli collected the documents from his grandfather’s hand; he did it in such a way that it showed that he was disgusted with what his grandfather said.“What? What is wrong? Do you want to yank your hand off? Why did you collect your document like that? Did I say something wrong?"Yes, grandfather, you do not even trust me enough; I did all of this myself and now you want to show Ethan for approval.“I wasn't going to show him for approval; I just wanted him to know what you were working on; surely he would be so excited too. “Why do you always do this, grandpa? Do you need validation from Ethan before approving my project? You all complain that I don't do a
“Irish! I thought you said she wouldn't be here!“I know Vivian, but Keren lives here; you both cannot be fighting forever; I need you both to settle your differences. “If not for the fact that we are sisters, I would have slapped you really hard! I do not have time for this nonsense! “But Vivian, Irish is right; you cannot be like this forever; you need to forgive me and let us move on.“You killed them! I will never forget that you made me a widow! I want nothing to do with you; excuse me, I am out of her.Vivian left the house, ignoring Irish and Keren, who were calling out her name. All the excitement on Keren’s face faded away. She fell to the couch and let out a loud sigh of relief. Irish sat beside her. They were both silent for a few minutes before Irish decided to break the silence.“You do not have to think too much about it; she will come around; she is still traumatised, and she told me she started therapy; she will come around soon."It has been years; I miss my best fri
“Take me home. That was the last thing Ethan said before he was unconscious. Keren had to call for the help of the receptionist so they could carry Ethan to the car. By the time they got downstairs, the driver was already in his seat, waiting to move. They managed to put Ethan into the car, the receptionist went back to her work station and everyone was worried, wondering what was happening to their boss. They thought he fainted but the receptionist had to tell them that the boss was under a lot of stress and he needed rest. Ethan was in the back seat with Keren; he was sleeping deep. Keren couldn't get her eyes off him; she wished she could touch his hair so she could do that. Tears rolled down her face when she thought about her late fiance. She looked outside the window so no one would see her crying. Shortly after, they got to the mansion and Keren was left in amazement. She couldn't believe her eyes; she couldn't believe the edifice standing tall in front of her. When the driv
Keren was so shy, she used to wish the ground would open and swallow her. Ethan was still fast asleep; he was oblivious that his grandfather was in the room. “You must be Keren, right?Keren tried to speak but she was stuttering and she struggled to compose herself."Yes, I am, sir.“Why is Ethan fast asleep by this time?“He is drunk, sir; he drank too much. “I see. Follow me.“Sir?“You heard me; follow me. Ethan’s grandfather left the room and Keren jumped off the bed and rushed to Ethan’s closet to wear something casual. She wore a white collar shirt and joggers. When she was done, she headed downstairs to meet Mr. Geftan. “Right on time, join me.Mr. Geftan poured Keren a glass of freshly pressed juice; he pressed it himself. It was a mixture of pineapple, watermelon and a little ginger. “This is so lovely, sir; I have never tasted a better fruit juice.“So tell me, what is it like working with Ethan?“I have no idea, sir. I only resumed today. I hoped I was going to have a bli
How can I repay you for your kindness sir?“You do not have to pay me, just go home and start something beautiful and profitable for you and your son. Your son deserves something better.“Who are you sir?Bal’s father said amidst tears, he couldn't control the tears that rolled down his face, he wanted to kneel to appreciate Ethan but Ethan stopped him mid air.“You do not have to do that, just consider me your angel, now please go get something good to eat.“Thank you uncle, my dad is really happy. Bal and his father left the park and Ethan watched how joyous they looked until they faded out of sight, he was truly happy for them… he was fulfilled when he saw the smile on their faces, and at that moment he was convinced that everything happened for a reason, if Eli had not crashed his car, he wouldn't have met Bal. He walked back to the hospital ward and when he got there he was informed that Eli was out of coma. He wasn't sure if he was happy about the news or not but he had to go
“I am not going to calm down, grandfather!! Did you see what he did to my car? That car was badly damaged—damaged beyond repair!! “Stop stressing over material things; your insurance company can take care of the damages.“They would if I were the one driving the car, but I am not and Eli is moving around with an expired driver’s license!" He better stay in that coma, because I will send him back there if he comes back to this house! How dare he take my car without my permission!!! He left his luxurious cars and took mine. I am starting to think that he crashed my car on purpose. “ Don't be ridiculous. I understand you are upset but do you think Eli would risk his life just to crash your car and get back at you? You should be praying for his recovery, not this.“God forbid!! I better waste my time on important things than pray for that rebellious soul. Eli is a lost cause.“You are the older one, Ethan. I know Eli is not the best but do you want us to throw him away? Your father doesn
“Hahah!! I told you I was going to get to you, didn't i? Eli was smiling at the screenshot he took; he was the happiest soul that night. He was one step away from bringing Ethan down and he was very excited. He took out his phone and called Marcel.“Hello, where are you?“I am resting at my loudspeaker.“Meet me at the bar.“At the bar? By this time of the night? Isn't it late already?“I told you never to oppose me again; remember, I am paying for that room. I can kick you out anytime, so please do as I say or else I will throw you out.“I will be there in 20 minutes.“Be there in 15.“Eli ended the call and tossed his phone on the bed and he made his way to his closet to change into something casual for the night. He was humming a melodious song as he went to the bathroom to freshen up. After he was done, he took Ethan’s porch and left. He didn't want to drive his Ferrari, but he knew Ethan was going to have his head by morning, but he didn't care.“He got to the bar and ordered a
