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
Maya was filled with anger. It was clear what was happening; the judge was being careful of and partial to the Waltons. Maya had formerly investigated the case on her own to an extent. She knew that someone was trying to put Tommy in jail from the shadows but she didn't know the person. She had been very happy that someone unknown was trying to help Ethan. However, she couldn't meet with the person as she had no idea who they were. The only way to act on her own was to release the evidence that she had against Sophia and her family. Now that she had done that, the judge was trying to play favourites and save his own head. Maya gritted her teeth as she left the courtroom in frustration. Sophia glared at Maya as she walked out with hatred in her eyes. She was getting more annoyed because someone was trying to help Ethan. Oliver also took deep breaths to calm himself down. He had noticed that the judge was being careful not to offend him so he relaxed a bit.Meanwhile, Khalid saw an
Ethan stared at Maya absentmindedly. He had been repeatedly surprised by the pretty lady since he heard about her from Andrew that morning. As she came into his office, she had surprised him the more. He didn't even know if he was supposed to be angry or not. The fact that she knew that he was planning to take revenge on Sophia and her family was startling. 'Is she working for someone?' Ethan thought and his paranoia set in. He reflexively became a bit aggressive in his body language. As far as Ethan knew, someone could be spying on him too. Perhaps she was working for such a person and was now trying to get his attention so that she could blackmail him. Ethan looked at her face again. He realised that the faint smile on her face had a hidden ferocity behind the smile. When she had mentioned taking revenge on Sophia, her expression had become serious. Ethan shook his head in denial and came to a conclusion: 'She's also seeking revenge against the Waltons. Or at least, she wants
Maya didn't know what to think about Ethan's mysterious. Her legs suddenly felt very heavy and it didn't seem as though she was interested in walking away. It had been more than a couple of years, her heart should have been set at ease or at least her heart should have given up on Ethan. However, she found out today that Ethan still had that strong impression on her. 'Why am I still feeling this way?' She thought to herself in slight panic. Her heart was beating excitedly in her chest. "I definitely have to come back to him." She muttered to herself. "He needs my help." She stubbornly insisted. She had no idea how Ethan was planning to deal with the Waltons but she doubted that he'll be able to pull it off easily. It was right for her to be concerned after all, Ethan was someone who had been on the lower end of the food chain of the city while the Waltons were a high a lofty family that refined at the top with other families. The power that Mr Walton wielded in the city wasn't li
