Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 21
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

It couldn't really be called a strange feeling. Ethan had once felt something similar before: it was when he got married to Sophia. To the current Ethan however, he just dismissed it as a feeling any man would get would see when they saw a beautiful woman.After all, Maya was looking very pretty. "Isn't that a bit..." Ethan wanted to refute. "It's perfectly fine. If you keep referring to me in such a way, I would almost feel like I've gotten quite old." Maya insisted. Ethan went silent for a moment before nodding his head in agreement. "That's alright, Maya." He said. Maya felt an inexplicable happiness bloom up in her chest and her cheeks flushed red. "Hmm! Good!" Thank you." She replied bashfully. Ethan didn't pay any attention to any of that. "Were you able to get any more evidence of the insidious things that the Waltons have been engaged in?" Ethan asked, getting straight to the point. Maya felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. She was still

Ethan couldn't help but be flattered. He felt like there was an underlying request in Maya's request but he didn't think much of it. He gave her the number without much hesitation. Maya smiled with a suppressed excitement. 'Huhu... Finally!' She inwardly celebrated. It was a big step forward for her. At this time, Ethan escorted the kids out of the office towards the cafeteria to get the snacks that he had promised them. Maya also left Ethan's office with a feeling of fulfilment. But she still felt like she should do something so she waited at the reception. As she sat down there waiting, some plans began to form in her head and she smirked mischievously. Meanwhile, Ethan tried his best to entertain the kids. He just allowed them to eat as much as they wanted and watched them while smiling faintly occasionally. Sylvie still clung to his side throughout the entire time until the short break Ethan had taken was over. Even though he was only pretending to be the assistant CEO of

Clara Walton felt like the world was turning against her. Her face scrunched up in anger and extreme discomfort. It had first started with her son. Her son was arrested by immigration officers and accused of smuggling drugs into the country. This should have been relatively easy for her esteemed husband to do. However, it had somehow begun to spiral out of control. The public were already getting to know of this matter and her family was beginning to become the gossip of the city. Just the previous day, she had gone for a tea party with some of her high social friends to cool off, but she ended up being indirectly humiliated. It wasn't done to her face but her 'friends' had been whispering to each other in muffled voices. She could even recall one particular conversation that had fallen on her ears;"Isn't that Lady Clara?" One lady asked, speaking to another lady with a glass cup of champagne. "Hmm, she's the one." The lady with the champagne cup replied as she took a sip, eyei

Sophia felt like her head was hit with an hammer. Disown? How? She couldn't comprehend her father's threat and looked at him with disbelief. "You're going to disown me?!" She asked with an expression of incredulity. "You think I can't?" Oliver glowered, not backing down. He was finally enraged. It was like a thread had snapped within him. He no longer held any desire for Sophia to suck up to him or not. it wasn't as though she had even treated him the way he wanted before; she had always been manipulating him to do her wishes. He knew about it but still he kept falling prey to it. But now, all those feelings and expectations could go to hell!Sophia recoiled once again in slight fear. At that moment, she came to realise that something had changed in her father and there was no going back. But she still couldn't take it..."You wouldn't dare!" She yelled with some summoned confidence. She wanted to call Oliver's bluff. "Oh, you think I won't?" Oliver asked with a contemptuous sm

Ethan?Sophia's mind blanked briefly. She felt a surge of anger and disgust for Ethan in her mind. But she was in a precarious situation, she was being dragged away by some security guard. For this to happen to her in the presence of Ethan, Sophia couldn't be more annoyed and embarrassed. "Ethan!" She called out to him. "Sophia?!" Ethan recognised her immediately. How could he not? This was his ex-wife!Ethan's facial expression turned grim. "What are you doing there?" He asked with a cold voice and a piercing gaze. At this time, the security guard had stopped dragging her away and was only holding to her arm tightly. "Ethan, you bastard! How dare you?" Sophia growled as she struggled to wrestle free from the strong grip of the security guard. Her face was contorted into a scowl as she glared at Ethan with anger and disdain. "What?!" "How dare you file charges against my family?" She spat. "Just because you got lucky and got a miserable job, you're becoming too arrogant." Eth
Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 28
Ethan didn't bother to look back as he left the company. He no hadn't expected that Sophia would show up at all in the company he was working. He had at least expected Mr Walton of come by himself or send someone to him, not send his annoying daughter. Ethan was irritated and annoyed being comprehension but he didn't even allow it to show on his face. He went ahead and entered into his new car and then zoomed off. He was heading out for lunch at a restaurant. Surprisingly, Maya had been the one to invite Ethan out for lunch. She had called him just about the time that Sophia showed up at his company and asked him to come to the restaurant for lunch. It was as he was leaving the company to go meet Maya that he had surprisingly met Sophia at the doors causing a ruckus.Ethan had been somewhat confused as to why they had to meet in a restaurant, but Maya had somehow convinced him. Ethan still had some reservations towards her but he didn't think it was such a bad idea. In no time at

"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. We're gonna be getting you out of here soon...'"But I'm still fucking here and you are enjoying the life out there. You're all just selfish bastards!" Tommy ranted out in frustration.Sophia felt like her chest was being pierced with sharp daggers.She remembered that i

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

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'

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

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.

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
