After watching the video over and over again as a form of entertainment. Sophia got bored of seeing Ethan's face. At some point, she noticed that the expression on his face wasn't really genuine... Or at least that's what it felt like to her. There was still some defiance she could notice in his golden eyes. Waving it off as some form of misconception, Sophia took her phone and finally called her father, Oliver Walton. "My beautiful flower..." Oliver said the moment he picked up the call. He hadn't even wasted any time in picking up her call. "That was the best breakup present ever, dad. Thank you!" Sophia said to her father. "I'm glad you like it." Oliver nodded and grinned with pride. He felt filled him with fulfillment that he had been able to please his daughter and make her happy. "I don't like it. I love it! I could watch it hundreds of times without getting bored. It feels good to see that bastard grovel and beg me. I just wish he could do it in my presence." Sophia said
"Big brother Ethan. Where's my sister?" Mark asked with a tearful tone as he spoke to Ethan over the phone.It was already the third day and he was still yet to see his younger sister being returned to him safe and sound. He had been trying to act strong until he couldn't take it any longer and called Ethan out of frustration. "Don't worry Mark. I promise you to get Sylvie back to you today." Ethan replied with a heavy heart. He felt guilty for what was happening to Sylvie and was sorry for the pain that she might be going through and also the anguish that Mark had been forced to endure. Only Mark's sobs were heard in response to Ethan's words."I'll do everything in my power to get her back to you today. Just wait for me and I will bring her." Ethan promised to reassure him. "After they made you beg they still didn't release Sylvie. It's not fair!" Mark grumbled with more sobs. Naturally, he had seen the video of Ethan apologizing to Sophie and he felt a huge guilt weigh on his c
"Tell me what happened." Oliver demanded. He was speaking to the thug that he had hired to kidnap Sylvie over the phone. "We dropped the girl at the park and called Ethan to pick her up.He came and carried her away without even a car to pick her up!" The thug said with a sneer. "Hmm, he has probably taken her back to the orphanage." Oliver mumbled. Then he ended the call. Seeing as Ethan had retrieved his younger sister safely, Mr Oliver Walton was already thinking of something else that he could do to appease his daughter and make her cozy up to him. Naturally, his target was Ethan. He picked up his phone and dialed her number. "What is it, Dad?" Sophia asked with a tone of annoyance. Oliver felt his expectations crumble. Where was the daughter that was telling him that she loved him just a few days ago?"My beautiful flower, that's no way to address your loving father..." Oliver grumbled. "I don't have time for this dad." Sophia cut him short. "Philip is sick." "Really? What
Oliver pulled all the strings of the connections that he had. He had promised his beautiful daughter Sophia that he was going to fulfil her request. He wasn't going to fail. After all, was there not a benefit to it?But Oliver soon discovered that it was easier said than done. Despite calling in favors and using every connection he had, he was unable to get Tommy released from the airport detention center. The security were giving him an unusually hard time and refused to let him go without a thorough investigation. There seemed to be something fishy. Some hours later when Oliver wasn't able to turn up with a good result, Sophia called him again. "Hold on darling. There seems to be some problem." Oliver said to his daughter. He was already getting furious but he wasn't going to be furious with his daughter. Definitely not. "What's taking so long?" she grumbled over the phone. "Just get him out of there!""It's not that simple," Oliver replied in frustration. "They're being very
Oliver sat staring blankly ahead, his phone slipping from his limp fingers. The past few days had utterly drained him, leaving the once imposing man a hollow shell. Between the constant calls from his increasingly impatient daughter and the lawyers who could offer no solutions, Oliver felt like he was losing his mind. How had everything gone so wrong so quickly? None of it made sense to Oliver. In just one week his family's reputation had begun crumbling in the face of the public. First the drug charges against his son Tommy and now he had also failed to break him out of jail. Oliver suspected that someone was behind everything that was happening. It could have been the same person who planted drugs in Tommy's luggage to implicate him. Oliver reached his current status in the city by his hard work and dedication. He had also invested no little effort in making sure that he had a good grasp of things going on in the city, yet he wasn't able to do anything in face of such a situatio
Sophia and her mother made their way to the court. Sophia couldn't hide the anger that was simmering deep within her. She honestly hated the fact that Ethan was beginning to live a comfortable life. She knew that by this point he hated her already and if he one day became more successful, he might come back to take his revenge on her for what she had done to him. She wasn't bothered by his retaliation though, after all, her family could be considered invincible in the city of Geneva. No matter how powerful became, he would still be too weak and irrelevant to do anything to her family. "We're here..." The driver said and Sophia snapped out of her thoughts. She and her mother stepped out and entered the courtroom. There, she saw her father already waiting. Oliver had a bit of eye bags under his eyes but he still looked composed. He kept up a proper appearance and kept a confident stature. His son had been pushed around and the person trying to implicate him had given Oliver enough
Two days later. It was time for another court session on Tommy's case. As expected, Oliver, his wife and Sophia arrived in the courtroom. Sophia had a gloomy expression on her face and she looked like she was ready to bite anyone who moved close to her a tiny bit. This was because she had noticed that her father was yet to do anything about Ethan. Just before she came to the courtroom, she had seen another post on the internet about Ethan and him thriving in his new job. This was enough to ruin Sophia's day. At this point, Tommy's case took less precedent in her mind than the downfall of Ethan. "Hey dad!" She called out to Oliver as they took their seats. "Hmm? Sophia what is it?" Oliver asked with a dull voice. He was incomparably tired and exhausted. He had been trying his best to get another lawyer who would have a chance to help get his son out of jail. "Have you done anything about what I told you?" She asked with a frown. Oliver furrowed his brows. "What are you taking abo
"I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done to Ethan!" Maya swore under her breath. Her eyes piercing daggers at the Waltons. Maya Trump. She grew up in the city of Geneva and attended the same high school with Ethan. Being the shy girl that she was, she hadn't ever had the courage to walk up to Ethan and become close with him, even though she liked him very much. But she always had the goal and ambition to speak to him and become his friend. However, she couldn't do it. Her introverted nature and her shyness was the main cause of her hesitation. Before she knew it, highschool was over and Ethan had gone to college, she also had found her with to a different college and they didn't see each other for years. During the few years she spent at college, Maya found it hard to forget Ethan and instead she always had a longing feeling towards him in her heart. It was then that she discovered that she was in love with him. But Ethan was oblivious to her existence. He was dealin
