Rise of The Unknown Billionaire Chapter 92
Terror unlike anything she had ever known flooded Clara as Ethan strode toward them, his cold smile promising cruelty. "Release us at once!" Oliver struggled furiously, face purpling with helpless rage as their captors forced them to their knees on the damp grass. Ethan ignored him entirely, eyes locked on Clara's. "Did you truly think your pitiful efforts could topple me?" His voice was deceptively soft, a velvet glove concealing iron. Up close, Clara saw the seething madness in his eyes and shudder."Or perhaps my own wife's betrayal?" Ethan spat viciously. "You will all rue the day you dared conspire against me."He crouched before Clara, grasping her jaw in an iron grip. "I know precisely who has been whispering in Elizabeth's ear, filling her mind with poison." His fingernails dug into Clara's cheeks. "You will pay dearly for that mistake."Clara's breath came shallow and panicked, her mind blank with stark terror as Ethan's hand slid from her face to grasp her throat. At Olive

Maya gazed down into her wine glass, swirling the ruby liquid pensively. Clara's proposal to join forces against Ethan had caught her off guard, but also awakened troubling doubts she could no longer ignore. She raised her eyes to meet Clara's intense, searching look. "Your offer is enticing for many reasons. But earning Ethan's trust was no easy feat. If he ever suspects me of betraying him...""He needn't ever know of this conversation," Clara said earnestly. "We would be the utmost discretion." She extended her hand across the table in appeal. "Ethan has brought much pain to both our families. Together, perhaps we can protect ourselves and those we love from further harm."Maya grasped Clara's hand lightly. The woman seemed sincere in her desire for reconciliation. And was it not wisdom to keep one's enemies close?Steeling her nerves, Maya said, "Tell me your thoughts on swaying Ethan. But this must remain between us alone."Relief washed over Clara's features. She squeezed Maya'

"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

Oliver paced the threadbare living room rug, glancing regularly out the curtained window into the dreary rain. Evening was creeping in, and still no word from Clara on her clandestine errand. Each minute she remained away ratcheted up his worry further. Finally, headlights flashed up the driveway - Clara was back, along with two unfamiliar sedans following behind her. Oliver watched warily as Clara and Maya emerged, along with a small entourage of smartly suited men and women. Lawyers, by the look of them.Oliver opened the door to hurriedly usher the group inside, away from prying eyes. Turning to Clara, he kept his voice low. "What's going on? Who are these people?"Clara grasped his hands reassuringly. "It's alright, these are new allies. Maya's been busy recruiting assistance, and they have information that may turn the tide."While Oliver struggled to conceal his skepticism, Maya stepped forward. "I know you have little reason to trust us. But please hear what we've uncovered to

The day of reckoning had arrived. Ethan straightened his tie in the executive washroom, steeling his nerves for the performance ahead. When he emerged, all traces of apprehension were smoothly masked behind his diplomat's smile. In the boardroom down the hall, his three guests awaited - Philip Carnegie a sweating, twitchy mess; the elder Waltons tense but composed. Ethan had kept them isolated on arrival as an assertive tactic before their "negotiations." Let them stew and speculate. Fear of the unknown unsettled people wonderfully.At his entrance, the trio stood hastily. Ethan noted with amusement how they subtly angled themselves away from each other. Good - he wanted them anxious and off-balance for now."My dear guests, so pleased you could make it," Ethan greeted them warmly as though welcoming old friends. "Please, sit. Can I offer refreshments before we begin?"Playing the genteel host, he poured sparkling water for Clara Walton and a stiff drink for Carnegie, who snatched at

Clara replaced the phone in its cradle, her heart pounding. What had she just agreed to? Could she really trust Ethan after everything he'd done to them?Yet she couldn't dismiss this potential olive branch outright. Not when their situation was so precarious. She started as the study door opened. Oliver entered, his broad face creasing when he saw Clara's distress. "What's happened, my dear? You look unwell." Clara sank into an armchair, motioning for her husband to sit. "That was Ethan Hunt. On the phone just now."Oliver's expression darkened. "What did that snake want?" Taking a deep breath, Clara explained the call - Ethan's talk of "truce", his offer of financial aid. Oliver's scowl deepened with each new detail."Please tell me you didn't entertain his nonsense for one second."Clara twisted her hands in her lap. "I...admittedly did not refuse outright. He dangled the possibility of a negotiated peace, with him providing resources to help our businesses recover."Oliver su

Oliver paced the plush carpeting of his study, gaze darting regularly to the mantel clock. Clara should have returned from her meeting with Ethan by now. Each minute she remained absent, his unease grew. Finally, approaching footsteps and murmured voices signaled Clara's return. Oliver hurried to the front hall, relief washing over him as he saw his wife and daughter removing their coats, both appearing unharmed."Thank God, you're back. I've been worried sick," Oliver said, enfolding Clara in an embrace. "Did everything go alright? What did that snake say?"Clara's smile seemed strained. "Let's discuss it over tea. It was...quite a conversation."Soon seated around the parlor coffee table, Clara recounted the meeting in detail for Oliver and Sophia's benefit. Ethan's offer of financial aid in exchange for the family's cooperation, the apparent olive branch. Oliver's scowl deepened with each new revelation. "I knew it. This so-called 'truce' is just another ruse to lure us into comp
