Chapter 04

“I do not owe anybody any apology and if someone has to apologise then it should be you, Mr Augustus,” Ethan uttered without hesitation.

He didn’t know where this sudden confidence came from either but he’s never going to apologise to someone who should have apologised to him instead.

Mr Augustus felt like this guy is really pissing him off yet he liked the fact that he’s one interesting guy, “How much would it take you to bow down to me?” He asks.

He didn’t even want to care about the things that have been going on for a while now, right now he’s after him making sure he worships him.

Ethan could not believe his ears, he’s going to go this far? “I’m never going to bow to you no matter how much you offer me” He cuts him off.

That’s something he won’t do especially with someone like him, he just wants to mock him and make him understand that money is everything.

“Are you sure about that?” He chuckles with his hand raised out from his pocket, snapping his finger, his girlfriend gets down from the car almost immediately carrying a suitcase.

Money is everything in this society they are but he’s not going to let money bring him down on his knees before this man.

“Tina, open the case!” Mr Augustus ordered and she opened the case full of dollar cash immediately.

Ethan swallowed hard and stood on his feet, remaining unshaken, “He’s too much for a pauper like him huh!” Tina scoffs.

Another car drove in from the entrance of the car pack, it was a sight to behold.

The cars are on another level from Mr Augustus' own and he felt small instantly, Ethan wondered how many people he might have worked for in his life.

If he wants to be a slave to money, here is another man who seems to be richer than Mr Augustus himself and the thought of this makes him chuckle.

Ethan believes no matter how much they would be offering him here today he can get more than that from the black card in his pocket.

The man walks down with his wife beside him, “Mr Bill!” Mr Augustus called, unbelievable.

“It’s so unexpected to see you here” He says to the person who didn’t give him a reply.

The man looked at Augustus and then at Ethan’s wondering what could be going on between the two, Ethan looks cheap!

He seized him from head to toe and started feeling nauseous, “Did you not bathe for days? Tell me, do they pay to get water to bathe now?” He asks disgustingly.

He had been rolled on the floor earlier when Augustus almost hit him with his car.

“That’s not a way to talk to someone” Ethan said with a frown regardless of who he might be, his friend slowly walked away from his side.

He’s not going to be one of his friends into this type of crime because he has family at home waiting for him.

“Tell me, how am I supposed to talk to someone who looks starved, homeless and to top it all you look like someone who is begging in the gutters down the straight” Mr Bill said.

Ethan almost looked down at himself to be sure all this quality befit him truly, “what are you doing with him?” Mr Bill asks,removing  his dark shade.

“This dirty hag server is trying to tell me that money isn’t everything” Augustus laughed at his own words.

“Oh please he’s just bluffing! If he wants money tell him to work for one and stop his silly jokes” Mr Bill laughs.

“Really? You know money is a lot in this life but what I try to let Jim understand is that money won’t bring me down on my knees before him, never!” He stood his ground.

“This looks like one silly little man that I have once dealt with! Boys!” He calls and his boys get down from the other cars.

Mr Bill feels like getting him to knee and offering him money is tactless and a waste of funds , “Make him beg to keep his worthless life!” He ordered.

Ethan pushed the card and cellphone inside his pocket very well just to make sure that they are safe before he starts stretching his fingers.

He felt like he could just do this all day, they charged at him at once and he started fighting off, his martial skills suppressed what Mr Bills was expecting immediately.

Who exactly is this young man? It’s as if he works with seconds the way he has bitten them all almost immediately.

He takes his best men out with him and they disappoint him? “You!” He yells and before he could look back at Augustus.

He already steps into his car ready to leave, “it’s not over yet! Mark my words!” Mr Bills felt even more pissed.

He can’t believe what was happening right there, he walks away, His girlfriend scoffs almost immediately,

“I see no reason why we should be bothered by this nobody!” Elena said and glared at Tina who tried to talk to her.

Tina dial Gracie his wife's line almost immediately on her phone while Ethan walks away with his injuries.

Few minutes later,

He walks down into their mansion and the first person he sets his eyes on is Mrs Richard, Gracie's mother.

“Where are you coming from?” The old lady snapped at him while he remained silent.

“You have nothing to help this family but you have to cause more trouble!?” She scoffs and Mr Richard clears his throat.

“He should have watched the old man try to get into our daughter's pants instead?” Mr Richard intervened and his wife went mute.

He greeted the two of them and walked upstairs to their room.

“What are you doing here?” Gracie snapped at him immediately as he walked in.

“Gracie, look I’m sorry about everything that happened but ... .don't even dare to apologise to me right now cause it’s useless! Do you know what you have done?” She half yelled.

She’s sure he knows how his actions would affect her business badly but how could he still do it without thinking when he has nothing to offer.

“Here!” He said bringing out the black card and cellphone, “I will take care of everything and protect you Gracie, trust me please” He tried to make her understand.

“Don’t do anything! I won’t take something from you that would put me in trouble because we are divorcing!” She snapped at him.

“Trust me Gracie! They can’t affect the business, I will take care of everything” He says to her but she shakes her head in disapproval. 

“Get out Ethan, I’m not sharing this room with you tonight, get out!” She said to him and he slowly walked out of the room.

He really hopes that she would give this a second thought, he thought and walks to the guest room to pass his night.
