"I think you must be mistaken. Henry, it's me, Ethan, your ex brother-in-law."Mr whatever your name is, hold it right there. Let this be the first and the last time I warn you, we have no existing relationship and I would love it to stay that way." Henry cut Ethan off before Ethan could complete his sentence."Noted." Ethan said, staring Henry in the eye without flinching."Now that is out of the way. I'm here to see the director of this bank, we have pending business together, but these guards have refused to let me gain entry into the bank. Please send them off, so I'll dash in and out and be done with whatever business I came to sort out." Ethan said in an unfriendly yet serious tone."What's this delusion you're living in? You think you're some big shot that can just demand to see the director? And that without going through me first? What's this new joke you're pulling?" Henry said, scoffing."Well, as I already informed you, I'm here to meet with the director and I'm not leavin
Ethan took a ride in his customized Tesla as he reminisced on the past events that occured. He really missed the company of his family even though he only spent a short amount of time with them.He enjoyed hearing stories about his dad, and his days as a young child from his grandfather, Ben Watson and his mother, Brianna Watson. His memory of his sister made him teary as he didn't know where she was and what her fate was. He had ordered Tony to look out for any information on her and alert him immediately.His drive to Paradise valley was a getaway from the stress of Beryl City and to fulfill his promise to his family that he'll make up for the rushed visit of last time. He had caused enough Havoc to the Graham family, at least for now and was ready to fulfill his promise to his family by going home and being in the company of people who truly loved him.He has always loved journeying through places. Before now, it was just to see luxury in passing and to see the rich living large b
The Graham's tried to return to their normal lives as it was but they were met with insults and mockery of the night at the Emerald Estate.On this cold evening, Eric Graham and Claire Graham were seated on their large bed in the bedroom where they cuddled to get warmth from each other.“I really can't live like this anymore, after all the sweat we've put into our work to make our name and family respected in this City” Claire lamented as she sat on the bed and leaned on Eric's shoulder as he rested on the headboard.“I know pumpkin, and I've been thinking about it too. I would like to resume work at the pharmaceutical company. We're working on something new and I'll be meeting with some sponsors tomorrow morning” Eric said as he stroked Claire's hands gently with his.“I can't wait for things to get back to normal” Claire said as she heaved a sigh of relief.*“Gbam gbam gbam” “Who's there?” Claire asked as she woke from a much needed sleep.Melissa's voice echoed in the hallway as
Ethan returned from Paradise Valley and resumed his acting role as Tony's secretary.Tony felt uncomfortable with Ethan assuming the role but he couldn't protest as Ethan had made up his mind.The day seemed to pass by quickly and it was time for the staff's lunch break.During the lunch break, Ethan took a stroll to the park near Emerald Estate to have his lunch while he enjoyed the cold breeze, the scenery, the sound of birds chirping and children playing around. It was the perfect blend of nature.Melissa and Jason were also at the same park, laughing, playing, teasing each other, and enjoying each other's company over a picnic.Since they had gotten together, they didn't have time to enjoy each other's company outside the house as Jason worked late into the night and Melissa was busy during the day.But on this day, they cleared their schedule for each other and had the whole day planned out. After the picnic, it was supposed to be a dinner date at one of the finest hotels in the
Tony had gotten back to Ethan's condo and had tasked the maids and manservants to wait for Ethan at the entrance with towels to dry him up. He had instructed them to turn up the heater in the house so Ethan would be warm when he got home. Ethan's meal was ready and the chef was brewing hot tea. Some manservants had prepared a hot water bath for Ethan as Tony informed them that Ethan would be back in no time. Ethan's clothes for the night were splayed out on the bed and later folded in a neat pile with socks and hand mittens accompanying the pile of clothes. As soon as Ethan arrived, a manservant ran towards the car with two umbrellas,one for Ethan and one for himself. He held the two open for himself and Ethan until they got to the entrance, where two maids dried his hair and his hands with dry towels. The manservant helped him get out of his wet shoes and into something more comfortable and dry. Ethan stripped himself of his clothes that were dripping wet and remained in his br
Melissa barged into the house, her eyes red, seething in rage. Her outfit was dripping water on the floor of the house as she stormed into the house, walking away from Jason. Her teeth were chattering as she shivered from the cold.The maids hurriedly brought dry towels to try to dry off Melissa's hair when Melissa started crying."Mel?? Omg!!! What happened to you? Why are you so drenched? Wasn't the heater in the car working?" Claire asked as she stood up from the couch where she had been sitting she went towards Melissa and placed the back of her hand on Melissa's forehead to feel her temperature.Melissa was about to answer Claire when she heard Jason's footsteps at the entrance of the door, then she left her mom and ran up the flight of stairs saying, "Ask Jason", as she held her mouth to muffle her tears as she ran up to her room."Claire was worried about Melissa and moved to follow her to her room when she heard Jason say, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll handle it."Jason didn't bothe
It was a cool evening at the Graham mansion as Claire Graham reclined on the balcony chaise, basking in the moon's cold reflection of the sun waiting for Eric Graham.She scrolled her phone aimlessly searching for something to expel the boredom that consumed her this very moment. She picked up her phone and ordered random beautiful jewelries and cooking utensils she fancied while snacking on some chips and a glass of fruit juice. The big gate rolled open to the sight of Eric Graham driving into the compound. Claire watched keenly as Eric came out of the car and threw the key to his driver whom he refused to use today because he had somewhere private he needed to go and no one could be trusted. “Keep the car in its place and don't forget I'll be leaving quite early tomorrow morning, be ready” Eric said as he stormed off into the house. “Babe!” Claire yelled out to get the attention of Eric from the balcony of the house.“Darling?” Eric replied as he looked and squinted to see his w
“I am greatness and I'm better than everyone” Claire repeated as part of her morning affirmations as she was on her yoga mat carrying out her morning meditation to the sound of monks humming on her phone.After thirty minutes of that, she was done and headed to the bathroom where she played a motivational podcast on Spotify as she had her bath.She felt positive today as she woke up to a note from Eric that read, “You're better than everyone”.“Hey gurll!” Cassie shrieked over the phone.“Hello Cassie, you know I'm too old for that right?” Claire replied with a chuckle.“Yo girls, what time are we hitting the sports arena? Our baby just got that VIP membership babyy!” Rora said, as she just joined in on the call.“No one told me we're bringing the calvary today,” Claire noted happily. “Well, what time are we meeting there then?” Cassie and Rora echoed over the phone.“I think… The next thirty minutes, I'm already out of the shower and ready to move. I just called to check in with y'a
