“What did you do? How did you do it?” Luke Marshall sputtered when he finally found his tongue. “You didn’t answer my question, Mr. Marshall. Are you a woman beater? Do you beat your wife at home? Is that why she hasn’t said anything about you cheating on her?” Chloe ignored his question and asked instead. The man pointed a finger at her in agitation and said through clenched teeth, “What nonsense are you spouting? I’ve told you not to say anything you’re not sure of. Every word you say could put my reputation in jeopardy!” Chloe narrowed her eyes in confusion “What are you talking about? When did a question become putting your reputation in jeopardy?” Luke parted his lips to say something, but clamped it shut when he realized she was right. After some seconds of being speechless, he whipped out his phone in irritation. “I’m done speaking with a lowly person like you. I will call Levi Cruz and have him fire you.” “Just give me your name. No, keep it. I’ll describe what you look

There was a pin-drop silence in the auditorium as Chloe’s voice echoed through. Luke and the other parents stared at her in confusion. With his eyes pinned on her in disbelief, he took the phone to his mouth and stuttered into it, “A-are you Levi Cruz’s assistant?” Chloe didn’t say anything for several seconds before she said, “Yes.”This time, there was no doubt about it. “You’re Mr. Cruz’s assistant?” A parent stepped forward to ask. “If she’s Levi Cruz’s assistant, doesn’t that mean she wasn’t lying about Luke Marshall forcing himself on that waitress.” “Before we rush into condemning him again, shouldn’t the assistant of Mr. Cruz have a list of blacklisted customers?” “Yes, show it to us so we may believe you are really her and my husband doesn’t have a wrong number.” Chloe didn’t want the situation to drag on longer than it already has, so she just nodded and began tapping away on the screen of her phone. After a whole minute, she beckoned onto the person operating the s

At this point, Luke couldn’t deny it anymore. So as soon as the recording ended, he slowly began retreating backward. However, someone pulled him back by his collar. “What are you doing? Let go of me this instant!” He turned his head to see it was Charles and lashed out at him immediately. “Principal Hutchinson, have you called the police?” Charles ignored him and asked Jordy Hutchinson. Jordy Hutchinson, who was on the call already, nodded and dropped his phone. Almost immediately, the school’s security rushed into the auditorium. As he was dragged away by then, he yelled at Chloe with all his might, “No! I’ll be suing! Pearl Hotel made a deal with me not to leak this to the media, you just breached that agreement so get ready for a lawsuit because I won’t stop until I milk your hotel dry!” Chloe smiled faintly, “No, Mr. Marshall. The person you made a deal with was Mr. Cruz’s former assistant. Mr. Cruz never would’ve taken the deal.” “If you want the agreement you signed back

Pearl Hotel Matilda kept her eyes on the two strangers and Charles who surprisingly joined them to eat thirty minutes ago. Chloe was occupied with feeding Honey, she didn’t remember to introduce Chris and Penelope to her. Ethan remembered, but didn’t want to. Claire was simply too preoccupied with Charles eating at the same table as her family to see the curiousity in her mother’s eyes. At the same time, she couldn’t help, but wonder if Matilda was really right. Charles had no reason to eat with them except he wanted to build a relationship with her family before they got married. Matilda couldn’t hold in her curiosity any longer. She dropped her cutlery noisily, catching everyone’s attention before she asked Charles pointedly, “Mr. Wilkins, have you finally come to ask for Claire’s hand officially?” Charles, who was gulping down a glass of wine, choked on it immediately. Penelope and Chris lowered their face to hide the smile tugging the corners of their lips. “M-mother, stop

Matilda refused to be shamed by him. She threw her face to the side and sneered, “At least it’s better than buying her some cheap looking necklace.” Honey reached to touch the dog tag around her neck gently and raised her eyes to look at Ethan. “I love it, daddy!” Ethan smiled back at her before he raised a brow, “Do you want to know something about this necklace?” She nodded and Ethan leaned closer to her ear. Whatever he told her made her happier because she turned to face him fully and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. When they disengaged, Chloe reached into her bag for a big rectangular box wrapped in wrapping paper. Honey was about to tear of the wrapping paper when Chloe shook her head. “I want you to open it tomorrow.” Honey was hesitant, but still nodded and dropped it on the table. Claire was still in a mood after finding out the betrothal she thought she had was actually misunderstanding, but she still flashed Honey a warm smile. “Your gift was too big

Chloe finally gave in to him after several seconds of probing his mouth with her tongue. His tongue delved into her mouth, twirling and turning. She tasted like a sweetness that made his head spin. She wrapped her hands around his neck as she kissed him back with so much fervor, eyes closed. After what seemed to be an eternity of biting into marshmallow treats, he moved his lips to her jaw, trailing kisses down her chin before pausing on her neck where he nibbled a little harder until he was sure he left a hickey. He tightened his grip around her waist and ran one up her back and in one swift move, unclasped the hook of her bra. Her eyes snapped open immediately, but she threw her head backward the very next second, a soft moan escaping her lips when he pulled down the hand of her silk night gown and lowered his lips to her breasts. The warmth of his tongue enveloped the pink breast bud, licking and teasing it. He kept at it while his free hand strayed to her other teat, squeezi

Chloe’s eyes fluttered open 8 hours later to see a familiar figure standing rigidly by the side of the bed. It took her a moment before she realized the person was Ethan. The man was holding a white tray which contained a glass of water and milk. When he saw she was awake, he lifted the glass of water and stretched it towards her. However, her eyes went behind him and settled on the clock on the wall. “9:37am! Wh-why? You should’ve woken me! Why didn’t you wake me, Ethan?!” She half-shouted, trying to leave the bed, but quickly stopped when she realized she had no clothes on under the duvet she was under. Ethan stared at her seriously before saying, “Because I didn’t think you’d be fit to work today.” Chloe’s cheeks flushed in embarrassment as the events of last night flooded back to her. She closed her eyes and pressed two fingers against her forehead as if trying to push the memory to the back of her mind. If she wasn’t in a hurry to get to work, she wouldn’t have the heart t

Chloe and Ethan went back and forth with each other before someone banged on the door to their room loudly. “Daddy, can you take Honey to the garden?” Honey’s pristine voice followed almost immediately. Chloe couldn’t stop the smile that crept onto her face. Ethan saw this and parted his lips to say something, but Honey’s voice came up from the door again. “Daddy! Daddy, are you making Honey a sibling too? Is that why you’re as tired as mommy?” Chloe chuckled, “She will not be leaving until you respond.” “Are you in there with mommy, daddy?!” Honey asked again. This time, Ethan couldn’t ignore her any longer. He turned to Chloe and gently dropped her feet on the ground, then waited for her to slip into the bubbly bath before he walked out of the bathroom. “Is daddy upset with Honey?” “Upset with Honey? What even is upset and why does that have anything to do with my Honey?” Chloe heard Honey’s soft giggle along with the door being closed. Then she threw her head backward and

Ethan left the cleaning up of the Wellington family to his men while he boarded a plane and flew back to Springdale with his family.The mayor was waiting to welcome them once they arrived. Since they had just endured a hectic day, Ethan drove a tired Chloe and a sleeping Honey to one of his condos.After tucking them in, he left the room to the living room where the mayor was. “I kept my eyes on the William family like you asked. Lewis William has been unconscious ever since you left.”“Currently, every member of the family is gathered at the hospital he’s at. Would you like me to take you there, Commander Black?”Ethan scoffed lightly, “Since when did a mayor become my personal driver?”The man grimaced and lowered his eyes to the floor, “Even the President would become your driver if he could.”Ethan simply took the keys from him and left the house, instructing the him to remain with his family until he returned.Getting outside, he spent a few seconds familiarizing himself with h

Unable to use either of his arms, Declan curled into a ball, rolling around in pain as he lashed out bitterly.“You think the Wellington family will let this slide? I’m the head of this family! If anything happens to me, they’ll hold you accountable, you crazy punk!”Ethan turned, picked up another vase, and dropped it near Declan’s foot with a shrug.“You’ve done nothing but cause them panic. You’re so unstable with your decision-making that they fear you’ll drag the family into ruin just to fund one of your whims.”“In fact, I’m quite sure they’ll thank me for getting rid of you. Anyway, enough talk about them.”“Once I’m done crippling you, you’ll be reduced to nothing, bound to a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”“Hopefully, you’ll use what’s left of it to reflect on how you became a cripple. Now, hand me the other leg or would you prefer I do it roughly?”Declan blinked, clenching his jaw tightly against the raging pain in his arms. “No… you wouldn’t. You’re my brother. You

In an instant, Declan’s life flashed before his eyes. He reacted like any cornered man would by moving his hand.Unfortunately for him, Ethan anticipated it. He clamped down on his wrist and twisted it away from Chloe’s neck until she could safely slip out from underneath him.Once she was out of harm’s way, he threw caution to the wind and slammed his foot down on Declan’s hand, sending the dagger flying across the balcony.“You…” Declan stumbled back in horror, his eyes flickering between Ethan and his men.With his backup now useless, he knew he was no match for Ethan.So, without thinking twice, he turned and bolted.However…Snap!“Arghh!”Kane appeared out of nowhere, grabbed him by the arm, and twisted it.Snorting, he glared at Declan. “Your jaw’s moving too freely. If you don’t shut it this instant, I’ll break it.”Supporting his broken arm with the other, Declan gritted his teeth and looked ahead.With Kane now blocking his exit, he had to think fast.After a while, he clenc

Ethan glanced at the triplets. “Can you tell what will happen now?” The triplet on red was the first to speak up. “The helmsman isn’t reliable. If you take the deal, he will run and possibly take your daughter with him as insurance and kill her once he’s gotten to safety.” Ethan flashed him a tight smile. “Since when did you start thinking for me?” The triplet blinked in trepidation, quickly lowering his eyes to the ground. “Fo-forgive me, I didn’t get what your question was about.” Ethan glanced at the other two. “Can any of you tell what will happen once I accept Declan Wellington’s offer?” The triplet on black was silent while the one on green suddenly realized it, swallowing hard. “If he leaves, we won’t be of any use to you anymore. Then… you’ll have us dig our own graves.” Ethan nodded approvingly. “Excellent! I noticed you don’t talk too much. Your intelligence must be why. So since you know that now, what do you think should be my next move?” The triplet was hesi

The triplet on black began cackling almost immediately, his eyes darting to his siblings in disbelief. “This fella, isn’t he humorous? I don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard.” His brothers hummed in agreement, crossing their arms across their chest. “Young man, you should’ve pursued a career in comedy and stayed far away from trouble. Big shame that the world will miss a talent like you.” Ethan covered his mouth and yawned. “What is this? Don’t you three know how to do anything else besides talking and more talking? Not everyone has a lot of free time on their hands.” “I, for example, cherish my time more than anything as I’d rather spend it with my family than people like you.” The triplets stared at him in amusement. “I hope your last memory of them was a memorable one then, because today, this is where you’ll be dying.” “Before we kill you, I’ll tell you the truth. Whoever taught you didn’t teach you well. Just identifying the weakness of your enemies isn’t en

Charles, Chris and Penelope froze. Kane sat up inside the crane, his eyes pinned on the elderly man with a white goatee laughing behind Ethan. “You’re already so old, when will you stop running like that?” “Let him do as he likes. He only has a few years to continue moving that fast. Might as well make the best use of it now.” Everyone turned their eyes towards the direction of the second and third voices. Ethan furrowed his brows when he saw them. Triplets? All three og them had the same shiny head and trimmed their beards into a goatee, making it impossible to distinguish who was who. The only difference between them was the color of shirts they had on which ranged from blue, red and black. The triplet who had attacked Ethan had on a black shirt and was still cackling underneath his breath. The other two stood beside him and glanced up at Declan on the balcony. As soon as he saw them, his tense shoulders relaxed and so did his grip on the blade. “You asked for us, master

As soon as his words fell, some figures darted through the men and in an instant, they were all swept off their feet. Declan didn’t see this. When he waited for several seconds and didn’t see Ethan’s body riddled with dozens of bullets, his eyes darkened and he looked down at them again, ready to lash out, but saw them all on the ground, groaning and clutching onto their stomach in pain. “Wh-what do you think you’re doing? I didn’t say to roll all over the floor, I said to waste him, you dumb fools!” However, the men were in too much pain to care about his words. Charles, Penelope and Chris took their time to kick the guns away from their reach.As Penelope walked towards a bulky man whose gun was lying at his foot, he suddenly stretched his left hand to grab her by the neck, but she caught it, slammed her foot against his chest and twisted his arm, completely destroying his rotator cuff. Cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead as a painful shriek erupted from his lung. A t

“Who’s this brazen punk?” “If he’s so bold, why’s he hiding up there?” The men murmured amongst themselves as they stepped backward. Butler Ambrose glanced at the crane. The distance between him and it made it impossible to see the face of the man sitting inside. But he didn’t need to think too hard to know who it was. From what he had seen in the past few months, only one person would dare to make such a bold entrance. “Take out your weapons. Once Mr. Wellington gives the order, waste him!” He raised his voice and ordered his men, eyes still pinned on the moving crane. The men obliged, taking out their guns and aiming it at the machine. However, Kane merely paid a blind eye to them and went ahead to uproot the gate. Instead of driving into the vicinity, he remained at the gate and elongated the crane towards them, swinging it right and left at the men. He did this until the aim of every one of them was to get to safety. Taking advantage of this chaos, three figures stealthi

In the Wellington family residenceButler Ambrose led a cautious and haggard looking Chloe to the balcony where there were chairs and table arranged in a romantic manner. Leaning back on one of the chairs, Declan Wellington had one leg crossed on the other, sipping his wine with a satisfied smile. Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyes to see who it was. The second his eyes settled on her face, his cheeks stretched into a wide smile. “Chloe, you’re here!” Chloe clenched her fists tightly beside her, her eyes falling on the dozens of men crawling around the compound. Declan instantly followed her gaze.Sensing her worries, the man leaned forward to assure her, “You don’t have to worry about them. I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you. The only reason they’re here is to make sure no harm comes to me.” Chloe turned her eyes to him, instantly realizing the kind of person she was standing in front of him. Because she was born into a power hungry family, she spent her life with people fr
