ENCOUNTER WITH HIS WIFE
Outside the City of Capilonia, a manor stood atop a hillside, its grandeur illuminated by the soft glow of countless lights. It was a sprawling estate, with towering spires and intricate stonework that spoke of wealth and power. Ethan went wide-eyed at the series of Luxury cars lined the driveway, their polished surfaces reflecting the golden light from the chandeliers inside. The air was filled with the hum of conversation from people and the clinking of glasses, as elegantly dressed guests mingled in the opulent ballroom. Ethan stepped out of the car, his sharp eyes taking in the scene. He was dressed in a tailored suit chosen by Rebecca Grant, its dark fabric accentuating his broad shoulders and commanding presence. Though he felt out of place among the crowds, but he didn't give a thought about it. Rebecca emerged beside him, and for a moment, Ethan was mesmerized by her transformation. She wore a long gown of deep emerald green, its delicate fabric glowing under the lights. Her hair was styled in an elegant perfect bun, with a few loose strands down her face. She looked radiant, her beauty both striking and effortless. Yet, there was a hint of tension in her eyes, a reminder of the danger that lurked around the corner. “Your outfit seems nice,” she said with a small smile, her voice teasing but warm. Ethan raised an eyebrow. “You don’t look so bad yourself,” he replied, his tone dry but appreciative. She laughed softly, the sound like music in the crisp night air. “Let’s go,” she said, linking her arm with his. “We have a mystery to solve.” As they entered the ballroom, Ethan couldn’t help but feel the weight of the evening pressing down on him. The room was a sea of glittering gowns and tailored suits, the air thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the murmur of polite conversation. He scanned the crowd, his golden eyes searching for any sign of the mysterious businessman they had come to confront. But before they could make their way further into the room, a familiar voice cut through the noise. “Well, isn’t this a surprise?” Ethan turned to see his wife standing a few feet away, her arm linked with that of a tall, impeccably dressed man. It was none other than her secretary. The Secretary glanced at Ethan and then, to the lady beside him, he couldn't help but appreciate their clothes. He was seriously angry to see him here. A man like him has no right to be here. She was stunning in a sleek black dress, her hair cascading over her shoulders in perfect waves. But her beauty was marred by the cold smirk on her lips and the sharp glint in her eyes. “I didn’t expect to see you here,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “And with a new companion, no less. You move on quickly, don’t you?” Ethan’s jaw tightened, but he remained calm. “This isn’t what it looks like,” he said seriously. His wife laughed, a sound devoid of warmth. “Oh, I’m sure it isn’t. But really, darling, couldn’t you have found someone with better taste? Or are you just that desperate?” Rebecca stepped forward, her chin lifted in defiance. “Excuse me,” she said, her voice firm but polite. “But I think you’re mistaken. He’s a good man—far better than you seem to realize. If anyone here has poor judgment, it’s you.” The wife’s smirk faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. “How charming,” she said, her tone icy. “But let’s not pretend this is anything more than what it is. You’re the new chick he is trying to leech on, aren’t you?” Rebecca Grant blushed in rage, she couldn't tolerate Ethan's wife's attitude any longer but before she could speak, Celine began to say something. “Do you know why I am here?" She scoffed maliciously, “I'm here for an investment. My Company is planning to partner with the Grant Cooperation. When that happens, my company's status is going to rank high among others in California!” She mumbled boastfully. Rebecca couldn't help but smile sheepishly, "I don't think you are going to partner with Grant! A rude spoiled brat like you doesn't deserve to be cooperating with Grant. I promise you, you won't get the investment!" “What do you just say, bitch?" She hadn't completed her words when a heavy slap landed on her face. She staggered due to the force. Celine glared contemptuously at Rebecca and then at Ethan, “You dare watch her lay her filthy hands on me!" She tried to retaliate by slapping Ethan but Rebecca stepped in quickly and grabbed her hand, pushing her away. “Get out of here, shameless woman!" Celine’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment, but she said nothing. She turned on her heel and stormed away, her male secretary trailing behind her. Ethan watched her go, a mix of emotions swirling in his chest. He felt a pang of guilt, but also a sense of vindication. His wife had always been quick to judge, quick to assume the worst of him. But now, she was facing the consequences of her actions. Rebecca turned to him, her expression softening. “I’m sorry you had to go through that,” she said quietly. “But she didn’t deserve you.” Ethan nodded, his golden eyes meeting hers. “Thank you,” he said. “For standing up for me.” She smiled, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. “You don’t have to thank me. You’ve done so much for me—it’s the least I could do.” As they moved further into the ballroom, Rebecca Grant excused herself to make a phone call. “I want Celine Henderson out of the cooperation list. Send her a message we aren't partnering with her company anymore. Do it now!" She ordered. When Rebecca returned, her expression was grim. “I’ve instructed my subordinates to remove her company from our list of potential partners,” she said. “I hope that’s alright.” Ethan hesitated, his mind racing. He knew his wife’s company was struggling, and this decision could have serious consequences for her. But he also knew that she had brought this on herself. Before he could respond, his phone buzzed. It was a message from his wife. Her tone was desperate, pleading for him to reconsider. She apologized for her behavior, and begged for another chance. Ethan read the message, his heart heavy with conflicting emotions. Rebecca watched him, her eyes filled with understanding. “It’s your decision,” she said softly. “Whatever you choose, I’ll support you.” “Let's leave that for now!" Ethan said, Meanwhile, as Celine angrily walked deep into the ballroom, she got a beep on her phone. She halted instantly and checked the message; ‘We are sorry by breaking the news to you; The Grant Company won't be investing in your company! Have a nice day!’ “What?" Celine went wide-eyed and she couldn't help but panic. Dreads washed over her instantly.Related Chapters

DIVORCEThe sleek, modern office was silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioning. Ethan, a man in his early thirties with sharp features and a calm demeanor, sat behind his mahogany desk. His fingers tapped lightly on the polished surface as he held the phone to his ear. The voice on the other end was tense, almost anxious."How is our deal going?" Ethan asked, his tone steady but laced with authority and power. There was a brief pause before the voice replied, "We agreed before that we would help your wife's company go public, and you would give me what we need, right?"Ethan leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Business is business," he said calmly. "You did what you should do, and I will give you what you want."The line went dead as he hung up the phone. He placed it gently on the desk, his expression unreadable.Suddenly, the door to his office burst open. A man strode in, his face flushed with anger, and threw a thick document onto the desk.Etha

THE AWAKENING Ethan walked out of the room with his heart filled with pain, and reached the lobby downstairs where he met two people who had once been family—his mother-in-law and his wife’s younger brother. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Henderson, a woman of sharp features, looked at him with a mixture of disdain and impatience. Her arms were crossed, and her lips were pressed into a thin line. Beside her, his wife’s younger brother, Logan, a lanky young man with a cocky smirk, leaned against the wall, his hands stuffed into his pockets. Ethan had always felt a certain distance from them, but today, the air between them was charged with tension.Ethan took a deep breath. He had helped his mother-in-law’s company rise from the brink of collapse. He had poured his heart and soul into it, working tirelessly to ensure its survival. And when his wife inherited the company, he had supported her every step of the way. “ Mother-in-law, my wife is trying to divorce me! You need to talk some se

Ahh!”She screamed at the top of her lungs and collapsed to the floor. The bodyguard outside the door heard the scream and burst into the room, his gun drawn and aimed directly at Ethan. His face was tense, his finger hovering over the trigger. But before he could act, a low, rumbling sound filled the air. It was deep and powerful, like the growl of a beast. Everyone froze, their eyes darting around in confusion.The sound grew louder, and then they saw it—a massive helicopter hovering above the building, its rotors slicing through the air. It was sleek and black. Several red laser dots appeared on the bodyguard’s chest, forcing him to lower his weapon. He hesitated, then stepped back, his face laced with frustration and fear.The helicopter descended, its powerful downdraft whipping through the lobby. The doors slid open, and a woman stepped o

TRYING HIS NEWFOUND ABILITY The room was silent as the graveyard, they could only hear the faint beeping of the heart monitor and the soft, labored breathing of the young lady lying on the bed. She looked fragile, her skin pale and her lips dry. Tubes and wires connected her to various machines, each one a reminder of how critical her condition was. Ethan stood at the foot of the bed, his golden eyes fixed on her. He could feel the weight of the moment, the gravity of what he was about to do.Beside the bed stood the young lady’s suitor, Nico Wharton, a man in his late twenties with a sharp jawline and an air of arrogance. He was dressed in a tailored suit, his posture stiff and his expression was that of disdain. Next to him was the doctor he had brought—a man in strange, almost ceremonial robes that seemed out of place in the sterile environment of the ward. The doctor’s face was unreadable, his eyes hidden behind thick and black glasses.Ethan ignored them both. His focus was e

Samantha standing beside him shifted uncomfortably, her curiosity getting the better of her.“Why hasn’t she woken up yet?” she asked, her voice low but insistent. “You said your blood would heal her. It clearly worked, her body is stronger now. So why is she still unconscious?”“Are we going to wait a little bit? She is taking a lot of time to wake up. What is going on, Sir Siegfried?” She mumbled, her voice hinted with fear and concern. Ethan didn’t look at her. His gaze remained on the young lady, his expression thoughtful. “Her body is healed,” he said slowly, “but her spirit is still trapped. She’s been cursed. My blood can cleanse the physical ailments, but it cannot break the hold of the curse on her mind.”Samantha’s eyes widened. “A curse? Who would do such a thing? Why would someone p

Ethan stood at her side, his golden eyes glowing faintly as he examined the young lady. The housekeeper, Samantha, and Nico Wharton —the three of them watched him intently, each with their own thoughts and fears.Ethan glanced back at them and broke the silence. “I can remove the curse,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “But it will require carving runes on her body using my blood. It’s the only way to break the curse completely.”This was the method his mother taught him when he was a child and the power of the Dragon blood, he knows every knowledge about it. Upon seeing this, Nico Wharton’s face turned red with anger. He stepped forward, his fists clenched. “You expect us to believe that?” he spat. “This is outrageous!

I have been trying to reach you but to no avail. Do you switch off your phone because of me? Are you trying to make me angry?” Ethan chuckled at his wife's irate words. He totally forgot he had thrown his phone out of the helicopter earlier. The reason she could get through to him. “I found the woman’s contact information through the helicopter that had taken him away. Who the fuçk is that woman?

A SCARY NAMEThe leader of the gangsters lay on the ground, his face contorted in pain. His right hand was in total mess, each finger broken by Ethan’s relentless grip. Ethan stood over him, his golden eyes glowing faintly, his expression cold and unreadable. He had asked the same question over and over, his voice calm but menacing: “Say something.”The leader groaned, his body trembling as he clutched his ruined hand. “You didn’t ask anything!” he screamed, his voice hoarse with pain and frustration. “What did I say? What do you want from me?”Ethan tilted his head slightly, his golden eyes narrowing. “Who instructed you to attack me? Who are you working for?” he asked, his voice low and steady.The leader hesitated, his eyes darting around as if searching for an escape. But there was none. Ethan’s presence was overwhelming, his power undeniable. Finally, the leader broke, his voice trembling as he spoke. “It was… it was Xavier Zubimemdi,” he stammered. “The man in the mask. He is

They swung their weapons in the air, some with Cutlass and axe, while some were with the baseball bat. They smirked wickedly at the car before them. Nothing rings in their ears than —Destruction.“What are you waiting for? Get to work immediately!" Someone bellowed. The voice belonged to the leader, the voice oozing with authority and power. The gangmen smirked even harder. The order they had been waiting for. They ran towards the car like a mad dog and their weapon swinging wildly as they smashed the vehicle with brutal force. The sound of metal crunching and glass shattering filled the air, each hit sending vibrations through the car’s frame. The young lady screamed and clutched onto her seat, her face contorted with fear, while the driver bent down, trying to shield himself from the flying debris.Ethan sat in the backseat, his golden eyes glowi
