Ethan drove back to his mansion. It was already late at night.

He pulled up in in his parking lot and turned off the engine of the car, then he remained sitting for a while.

Memories of what happened earlier that night flashed in his mind and he closed his eyes thinking about it.

"Why did I do that?" He muttered to himself rhetorically.

But Ethan knew the answer himself. Any time he was alone with Maya, there was this calm that always settled in his mind and made him feel like nothing in the world could get to him.

In fact, Ethan knew that the reason he hadn't regretted going on that short trip a while ago with Maya and his siblings was mainly because of Maya. She had brought almost all of the relief and calm that he needed. His emotions and feelings towards her couldn't help but become complicated.

Ethan recalled her face and also recalled the way that he had felt. Then after a while, he shook his head ruefully.

"I can't keep getting distracted. There's a lot that I need to do." He s

    Maya looked at the man who had just walked in with slight apprehension.He clearly looked like a thug of some sort. He had the appearance of someone who was into shady business. Being the detective that she was, Maya was able to tell.But, he was asking about Ethan?"Did you not hear me?" The man asked."Why are you asking about Ethan?" Maya replied with a question of her own."Did Philip send you to kidnap me? Does he want to find out information about Ethan?" Maya asked curiously while she also seethed inwardly with fury.The man turned to look at the other guy who had been there since Maya woke up."Ghoul, why is she asking me such questions?" He asked.Ghoul, the first guy, looked at the other man. "Yeah, Bolt, she's a detective. She'll ask questions that'll bore you out." Ghoul replied."Okay... Ghoul? Bolt?" Maya spoke up with a frown. "What kind of lame-ass names are those?" She asked in utter astonishment.Both Ghoul and Bolt's faces turned grim and furious immediately."What'

    Bounty or ransom... Philip couldn't wrap his head around it.All he knew was that he was very angry. He had given Brick a simple job to abduct and extract information. The bastard was just too greedy."What are we going to do about this sir?" Philip's butler asked in a tone of worry.Philip looked at him with an expression that portrayed the face of one who had swallowed a fly."I don't even know what to do at this moment. We just have to keep trying to reach the bastard and get him to stop what he's planning to do." Philip replied."But he doesn't need to fear you for any reason because you don't know him and you've also paid him for the services ahead of the job." The butler replied.Philip's expression contorted even more as he heard how he had inadvertently caused this sort of situation to happen."I swear to god, I'll catch that bastard one day even if it's the last thing I do." Philip swore and stomped away from the table he was seated. He headed straight to his room where he sa

    "Do you take me for a fool or something?" Tommy replied harshly."It's the same damn thing y'all said the last time. I'm rotting in jail for something I didn't even do this time!" Tommy shouted.One of the reasons that Tommy was so infuriated with his arrest was that he hadn't even actually tried to smuggle the drugs that they said he did.Tommy was very close to a thug in his behaviour and he was confident that if he had actually tried to smuggle the drugs they claimed he smuggled, he wouldn't have been caught so easily. He wasn't a rookie in that sort of thing."Relax Tommy...""Don't fucking tell me that!" Tommy raged. "Last time I saw y'all at the court trial, you said 'relax Tommy, everything is gonna be alright.

    Ethan sighed as he parked his old and rickety car in front of a mansion. He turned off the engine and the car went off with a strange noise, but it was not new to Ethan. It had happened numerous times before. "This old thing is done for. I'll have to fix it before it will move again." Ethan grumbled with disappointment written all over his face. He took his equipments from the car and went into the mansion. He was there to work as a cleaner. The company he was working for had sent him to clean such a big mansion alone when it should have been the work of several people. 'This is a lot of work. I'll have to use painkillers after today.' He thought inwardly with a worried face. He passed the security after they confirmed his identity and walked into the house. The butler greeted him at the door of the building and guided him to where he would start the cleaning. Ethan had a lot of cleaning to do so he got started immediately. *** It was in the afternoon. Ethan had cleaned several

    Ethan made his way to the nearest police he could find by the road and tried to report Philip. But once the Police heard what Ethan had to say, he hissed in annoyance. "Go back to your house if you don't want to be arrested. You're being a nuisance." The policeman said in a voice tinged with annoyance. Ethan had approached the policeman still in his cleaning jumpsuit which was dirty. From the moment the policeman heard the name of Philip Carnegie from Ethan's mouth, he didn't even try to hear Ethan out. He already considered as a pauper who was trying to fight against the rich. Ethan was dumbfounded at the coldness of the police man. He looked at his dirty clothes but he couldn't get rid of it since his proper clothes was still in Philip's house and he had been kicked out of the house. Ethan went back to his house with dejection. He entered the house that he had been living in for almost a year now. It wasn't his house, when he wanted to marry Sophia, he told her to wait since he c

    "What?!" Ethan blinked in confusion. It was as though he didn't hear correctly."You're not deaf are you?" Mrs Phoebe asked, a tinge of irritation coating her voice. "Get out of my office. I do not want to see your face here again." She said. Ethan was dumbfounded. "Why are you doing this?" He asked with a shaky tone. "I don't have a choice, alright? Don't take it too personal. You should have focused on your job and not disturb the client who was enjoying himself in his own house." Mrs Phoebe said. It seems like someone was behind this. "Did Philip put you up to this?" Ethan asked, his anger began to simmer again. "Keep your voice down." Mrs Phoebe said as she glanced about as though she didn't want anyone else to hear their conversation. "Don't cause trouble for me. I just tf you that you're fired so get out of my office before I call the guards to carry you out." She said. Ethan had no choice but to turn around in defeat. His mind was already a chaotic mess by now. He turned

    Ethan was too familiar with the streets. How could he not? He had grown up there, in the orphanage that took him in ever since he lost both his parents. It was the house that had housed him and made sure that he was able to grow up without starving to death. Even though life there wasn't the best or the most comfortable, Ethan had a multitude of fond memories there. But it had been a while since he had left the orphanage, since he graduated and got married, he had begun to live there as a grown man. He took a pause in the middle of the road before he turned a corner leading to the orphanage. 'I should not be going back there. A lot of those children look up to me and now I'm back because I've failed as a man and I've been rendered homeless.'Ethan had such thoughts even though his going back to the orphanage wouldn't really bother the kids. They loved him very much but Ethan could only see himself as a liability. But he didn't have a choice, there was nowhere else to go. After all

    Andrew handed the phone over to Ethan. "He is ready to talk to you." He said. Ethan was still in disbelief after hearing that he had a father. His mind was racing through with thoughts on how such a thing was possible. If he hasd a father then why had he been living in an orphanage all his life? Why had his father never shown himself? If his father could afford a bodyguard like Andrew, then that meant he had to be rich. So why hadn't he been there for him all his life?Ethan was beginning to fume with anger as he took the phone from Andrew. "Are you my father?" Ethan asked with a tone that contained a bit of ferocity. "Ethan? Oh my god, it's finally good to hear your voice. I'm so sorry Ethan." An old voice replied Ethan, the words took Ethan by a bit of surprise but he didn't change his expression. "Who are you? Are you my father?" He asked again. "Calm down Ethan. Yes, I'm your father." The man replied with a cough. "I know you must be angry and will have many questions in y

    Brick... He was a slim guy in his late thirties, but he looked like someone who was already in his fifties. As much as he loved having hair on his head and desired to keep it, he was still going bald as the hair on his head had become very sparse. He usually wore round rimmed glasses and looked like a notorious swindler most of the time. But Brick wasn't a swindler, he was someone who got himself in dirty jobs and tasks for people. The craziest part was that neither his clients or his employees actually knew who he was. He was very good at being covert and unknown. This fact alone made him somehow unreliable. But everyone who actually used his services were actually sure that he would do just about anything for money even if they hadn't met him before. Brick also had a resolve to never get directly involved with a crime scene. Whatever job he was going to carry out, he was never going to show his face. And when he did speak to his employees or contractors, he always used a distor

    Maya found it difficult to grasp the reality of what she had just experienced.Even though it had been a wish of hers for a very long time that she be recognised by Ethan, she still found it unbelievable to witness it.Her wide-opened eyes met the closed eyelids of Ethan while his lips were still connected to hers. Then she saw the eyelids pry open gradually.Ethan looked into her eyes and drew away slowly without breathing.Maya was still stunned. But she didn't like the fact that Ethan was already retreating before she could even enjoy it. And the next thing she did was that she grabbed his face......and pulled him in for another kiss.This was Ethan's turn to be surprised. He had still been feeling unsure about his sudden impulse to kiss her before she pulled him back in for another kiss. And this one was way more intense than the first.Maya made sure to dig into his face gently as though she was savouring her favourite cake in the world. Ethan also cooperated with the kiss.It w

    Ethan and Maya sat opposite each other, their expressions bright and faint smiles danced at the edges of their lips.The food was set on the table before them but Ethan hadn't yet touched his plate. Maya was only taking little nibbles from her plate once in a while as she was completely engrossed with Ethan while he spoke to her.Anyone who looked at the both of them in the restaurant would regard them as couples who were on a date. Well, it was a date."...I was only lucky to get out of there safely because Andrew had told some bodyguards to keep me safe." Said Ethan as he came to the conclusion of his brief narration.Maya's eyes twinkled like she had just heard a fairy tale story. But after a while of thinking about it, she discovered that she hadn't been truly listening. But luckily, she still recalled what Ethan had said."That fool!" Maya cursed at Philip. Her face flushed as she imagined what would have happened to Ethan if he hadn't been protected by those two mysterious bodyg

    She had cheated on Ethan with this guy called Philip.It had been a thrilling venture then at that time, every time she cheated on Ethan, she had always felt a thrill run though her body just because of the knowledge that she was cheating on Ethan. At that time, Sophia had thought that she had always enjoyed it because she was in love with Philip since she never loved Ethan in the first place.How naive had she been...Sophia knew nothing about what love was supposed to truly be like. Her parents had never shown her the best example.They also, weren't brought together by love. It was all a contract marriage. Oliver had liked Clara and then struck a deal with her parents. Clara had never said anything or complained about it then and she had been entirely content because Oliver had the money that she needed to be happy.She was willing to be blind to her feelings as long as her husband was rich. It was this ignorance and nonchalance that was now being reflected in Sophia.It was now th

    They arrived in front of a famous restaurant in Geneva.It was a large building with tall walls and magnificent but exquisite designs.Ethan escorted Maya out of the car and took her to the entrance. Somehow, the guards obediently made way for Ethan to enter without obstruction, this made Maya surprised.'Did he come here beforehand to arrange all these?' She wondered inwardly. However, she couldn't dwell on that for long.She stepped into the interior and was dumbstruck. There were walls of marble and plated gold made into tiles and pillars. Every corner of the restaurant was glamorous.The tables were very sparsely arranged and neither one was close to each other, giving each group or date a relatively private space. It was clear that only extremely wealthy people could come to this place.Before any time could pass at all, they were both approached by a beautiful lady with a pretty good dress as she guided them to a separate table for the both of them. Even such a waiter had Maya s
