VIP pass please” the chubby bulked up man at the checkpoint asked, stretching out his arm towards Ethan and Jack as they approached.“I hope you didn't forget that, with all your talks of victory over me?” Jack threw accusatory glances, as he turned to look at Ethan.“VIP membership card coming right up!” Ethan said as he held the card and flew it like an airplane into the hands of the security at the checkpoint.The security took the card and scanned it shortly. “Here, have it” He said as he handed the card back to Ethan.“Thank you” Ethan replied with a smile and he turned to Jack and said, “See? Easy-peasy. Card accepted and now I'm taking you to the slaughter, where I'll show you who's king between us” “Much talk from a man who hasn't been able to beat me since college” Jack retorted, as he grinned in self-satisfaction Ethan and Jack walked towards the lawn tennis court to pick up their rackets and stretch for sometime when Claire's voice was heard, “I'm guessing they let just a

Having already drawn the attention of people who were around them but were now dispersing as they saw Ethan turn to walk away from the scene.Rora saw an incoming call. It was from the personal assistant of the new investor she had just secured to officially launch her brand, Rora's makeovers.As she saw the call, she quickly called Ethan's attention saying, "Guess who's calling? My new investor's personal assistant. He is probably calling to sign the contract today itself. You see, this is what happens when you burst your ass and your hard work pays off."Ethan stopped in his tracks and Jack joined where he was now standing. Claire walked up to Jack and Ethan and said, "This, right here, is what success sounds, looks and feels like. Too sad, you would never be able to experience this."The crowd had gathered again. Claire encouraged Rora, "Pick up the call and share the pleasant news with us.""Oh! Right! I almost forgot about that," Rora said as she picked up the call."Hello, Rora

Ethan and Jack's laughter resounded across the lawn, and if looks could kill, Ethan and Jack would be 6 feet under, with the way Claire shot daggers at them.Cassie finally spoke up, "You stand there to mock Rora when both of you combined are not even worth half of what Rora is worth.""At least we know this as a fact and we're not living in denial." Jack retorted as they continued laughing.Some members amongst the crowd joined them to laugh and mock Rora for trying to deceive them with her lies."Enough!!! Your presence here has spoiled the aura and purity of these grounds. You have ruined the once fun, peaceful ambience that filled this place. You have done enough and you should leave." Claire commanded Ethan and Jack."Excuse me!!! But I know for a fact that you do not own this place, so you have absolutely no right to chase us away from here." Ethan made sure to put Claire in her place."Yeah, he's right. The same way you struggled and waited for ages to become a VIP member, we a

Ethan woke up to the rays of the sun peaking through the curtains.He had a swell day with Jack the day before, after Claire was thrown out of the sports arena.For most of it, he defeated Jack as he had promised, whilst Jack kept bragging about his little wins.Ethan stretched to pick his phone up from the night stand and he saw 10 missed calls from Tony.Ethan had put his phone in silence mode after he got back from the sports arena. He was so tired and he needed a peaceful sleep without any disturbance from anybody.He informed his manservant to not allow anybody into his room to disturb him and he silenced his phone.Seeing 10 missed calls from Tony as he woke up, he pinched his forehead and wondered, 'what could be wrong?'He immediately dialed Tony's number in and it started ringing. Tony picked up on the first ring and said, "Sir Ethan, I've got important information for you concerning your sister, Elora."At the mention of his sister, Elora, Ethan's eyes brightened and he was

It was date night for Melissa and Jason and they had a blast at the restaurant chosen by Claire Graham, Melissa's mom.“Why'd your mom pick out a restaurant for us?” Jason asked Melissa as they held hands and walked out of the restaurant into the car.“I don't know, I guess she was just being nice and supportive. Who knows?” Melissa answered.“Your dad also called me to ask how the date went. Why do I feel really awkward about all these? Hope they're not planning something we're not ready for” Jason said as he walked over to his side of the car without opening the door for Melissa.Melissa was used to this as Jason never gave her princess treatment, only Ethan did. She opened the door for herself and got into the car as they started their journey home.“Babe, I really enjoyed tonight. Everything was perfect. The lights, the aesthetics and the food, oh my God the food! I loved it and the music was timely” Melissa gushed over the whole experience to Jason in the car, as she was filled w

The news channel was interrupted by “Breaking News”.Breaking News! The TV presenter was seated in his chair as the camera returned to the studio and he said, “Good morning and welcome back to BC news. My name is James Boulder and today I'll be bringing to you the breaking news of the day. The Graham's have made a huge announcement today, In a week's time, the only daughter of Eric and Claire Graham will be getting married to Jason Miller, the heir to Miller companies.He took a pause and turned around like there was someone around when he continued, “Wow! What a union. I had to check around to see if any other person was bewildered by this news, hahaha. In a historic…”Ethan switched off the TV while the broadcast was ongoing. He got up from his chair and paced around a bit. He walked to the nightstand by the bed and picked his phone that was on it and called Sarah.“Hello?”“Yeah, I'm fine. How're you?”“Alright, could you come to the restaurant we went to last time so we'll talk?”

Tony rushed down to Ethan's penthouse to know what the call was about.He walked into the building and hopped into the lift to reach the penthouse. “Good day sir” Tony echoed as he stood in the living room of the penthouse.“Tony! How're you?” Ethan asked as he got out of the room to sit in the living room with Tony.Tony bowed his head as he stood to watch Ethan sit. “Sit please” Ethan said, gesturing to the other sofa beside Tony.“Thank you, young Master” Tony said but received a death stare from Ethan who had warned him about calling him ‘young master’.“I'm sorry sir” he said, realizing his mistake.“So, how have things been for you sir?” Tony asked as he lowered himself onto the sofa. “Well, I've been good actually but I'm about to be better. How have you been?” Ethan said with a smirk.“I'm doing quite well sir. What do you mean sir, when you say you're about to be better? Would it have anything to do with your reason for summoning me?” Tony replied.“Well indeed Tony, indeed

“Is she sick or something?”“ Can't she tell he's broke? I mean look at the cheap clothes he's wearing.”The remarks were random from the sales reps gathering to watch Tyra attend to Ethan.Tyra walked up to Ethan and asked, "How may I be of help to you , Sir? Is there anything specific you're looking for? I could show you around and help you select something that fits your physique."He looked around and seemed to have a hard time determining what he wanted.The other sales rep took it as a sign that he was looking for what to steal and the fastest route to run away with it.“ You can't steal anything here and run away successfully,” one of the sales reps said to Ethan.“Steal? Who said I planned on stealing? I'm only here to buy clothes and I'll leave your precious space.“You obviously can't afford anything here so why are you distracting this young girl from attending to better clients?”Another sales rep asked.Ethan turned deaf ears to them and asked Tyra,”Tyra, is it?”“Yes it i

Kehlani stared through the window of the car as she sat at the back seat of the taxi.Her hands fidgeted in fear as she thought of the ways she would be dealt with by Henry.“We're here ma'am” the taxi driver called out as he infiltrated her subconscious.Startled she sprung out of the car and started moving away when she hit her head against the stop sign and turned around to see the driver facepalming himself.Khelani walked towards the car and picked up her purse that contained her phone and some cash and handed the amount for the ride to the driver after which he zoomed off.She took at deep breath and walked up into the apartment.“Woman! Where are you waddling into this house from?” Henry yelled out as soon Kehlani opened the door to the sight of him sitting on the couch.“I'm very sorry” Khelani went on her knees and begged as she crawled to Henry.“Why are you begging? Where have you been?” Henry insisted.“I've been at the…” Khelani Paused to think of how to tell Henry she's

“Yes, I am at the hospital,” Kehlani answered.“What the fuck does that have to do with you not being home? Get your ass over here now!” Henry yelled from the other end of the phone.“Won't you want to know what I'm doing in the hospital? Aren't you worried at all?” Surprise was stamped on Kehlani's face as she questioned Henry.There was a certain silence as she questioned Henry, but it was short lived as he picked up yelling, “Why would I care? Do you think I go around my day wondering what you're doing and probably not doing? I couldn't give two fucks about that and quite frankly, you still haven't answered the original question; why are you not at home?”.“My mom…” Kehlani was interrupted by Henry's sudden question, “Right! Your mom, is she dead?”“No! Why would you say such a thing?” Kehlani retorted.“You know what? I'm tired and this conversation is draining my good energy, get home now” Henry ordered.Khelani almost immediately rushed to tell Henry, "I'm currently in…”, but

Ethan strode down the steps defeated and worried when he saw the doctor that handled Kehlani's mother's surgery.“Doctor, how is Mrs. Michaels? Is she getting better?”“Yes, she just woke up and is talking to her daughter right now.” The doctor responded casually.Ethan almost walked away when he understood what the doctor meant and stopped him to ask, “wait, her daughter? Is she there with her right now?”“Her daughter, the lady you came with earlier, is there with her mother. Will that be all sir?” The doctor asked Ethan politely.Ethan raced up the stairs to Mrs. Michael's room and gently knocked on the door. “Come in,” Kehlani replied.Ethan heaved a sigh of relief as he opened the door, “Hello ma'am, and hello Khelani”.“You look worried sir, I hope all is well?” Khelani asked Ethan, whose brows were furrowed in frustration.“Well, all is well now. I just came from your room, and I thought you had left the hospital, but I'm glad you're here with your mom.” Ethan said, as he drag

“Please help me get up” Kehlani asked Ethan, as she winced in pain.“Slowly. Take it easy” Ethan guided, as she sat upright and he helped her on to the wheelchair by the bedside.“How do you feel? Comfortable?” Ethan questioned, as he checked the wheelchair to see if there was any issue before moving.“It's okay. I'm okay, let's go see my mom” Kehlani said with a smile, before Ethan wheeled her round the hospital and into the recovery room where her mom was kept.“Please we can't let strangers see patients” a male nurse that has just resumed duty for his afternoon shift said to Ethan.“I agree I'm a stranger but she's not. She's the daughter of the patient” Ethan said, pointing to Kehlani in the wheelchair.“Please what is the name of the patient you wish to see?” the nurse asked.“Mrs. Michael. Daniella Michael is her name” Kehlani responded with a nonchalant look.“And what is your name ma? Please may I have your file to confirm that too?” “I'm Kehlani Michael and here's my file to

"Nice to meet you, Kehlani. You seemed to be in a haste when you tripped over the huge rock in front of the hospital, causing the fall that impacted your head. Is everything alright?" Kehlani instantly remembered that she was rushing to the hospital to plead with the doctors to accept half payment in order to proceed with her mom's surgery, as she was informed that her mom needed the surgery urgently."My mom! Where is my mom? I need to get to her right now." Kehlani moved to leave the bed frantically, but Ethan didn't let her."Your mom? What happened to your mom? I'm sorry I can't let you get off this bed. The nurse said you need rest." Kehlani tried struggling in Ethan's grasp but Ethan didn't flinch and she broke into tears."My mom needs urgent surgical attention and I only have half the money for the surgery. I need to plead with the doctors to understand my situation and help my mom, so I won't lose her." Kehlani said in-between tears."That's the problem? I need you to stop
CHAPTER 66
“Good day sir, please help me” Kehlani said, as she dropped slowly to the floor with her injured forehead bouncing off the hospital tiles.“Somebody help her! Nurses! Doctors! Help!” Ethan cried out as he saw the young lady look up to him helplessly before she passed out.A team of doctors and nurses ran out and lifted the patient onto a stretcher and admitted her to be treated, while Ethan waited to make sure she was okay.Ethan paced back and forth the waiting room as his thoughts raged free enough to make him scared for the lady.“Who could she be?“She fell so abruptly, will she need surgery?”“I hope she gets better,” Ethan whispered under his breath.“Mr. Ethan?” A nurse called out.“Yes? That would be me” Ethan replied as his body trembled with thoughts of what the news could be .“Sir, the patient you brought to our attention is stable but she's unconscious. Do you know her name and other details we could write down in her file?” The nurse asked with a smile.Ethan heaved a si

Hello, Why are you not home yet?” Henry said on the phone. He had gone back to an empty house he had rented for her but coming home to the empty house wasn't quite unusual.“I…I went to see mom. The doctor called so I had to rush over, I should have called to inform you, I'm sorry about that.” Kehlani said hurriedly knowing fully well what reaction would follow the situation.“Well, get here. Now.” Henry ended the call abruptly, then tossed his phone on the couch.He reached to lessen the pressure of his tie while striding towards the mini bar. A smile curled on his lips as he thought about the plan he's about to actualize.He got hold of a bottle of bourbon before he could think of an actual choice of drink. He chose the bottle of bourbon because it tends to help him think better.The sound of a closed door drew him out of oblivion, he checked his watch to find out that an hour had gone by.“Took you long enough.” He said blandly. His eyes moved up and down her figure, and a smile t

“How about doing something that he would never be forgiven for and no one will want to side him on?” Henry suggested.“Yes? But that's almost impossible, he won't do anything like that. He's too much of a righteous being when it comes to the things he does and doesn't” Melissa chipped in.“So what do we do about that?” Claire questioned.“Can we set him up and make him do it? By drugging him or any means necessary?” Eric added.“Who said anything about him doing anything? Henry said as he sat upright on the couch.With everyone staring at him expectantly and their eyes signaling him to continue with sharing the details of his plan, he began to explain, “What if we can find someone that will be willing to blackmail him for doing something unforgivable and we can forge proof with Photoshop. The Internet doesn't do much research with these sensitive matters, they mostly just go with the ladies' story. If we can use that to our advantage, he'd be locked up for life”.“That's a brilliant i

"Baby!!! You look like you just got hit by a truck, what happened?" Claire inquired, as Melissa and Jason walked through the door."C'mon mom, it's not that bad." Melissa said, trying to console herself with how terrible she looked and felt."Not thay bad, huh? Jason is literally limping and your mascara is all over your face like you cried. What happened at the reunion?" Melissa and Jason fell unto the couch, fatigued.Before they could respond to all the questions that Claire was throwing at them, Eric came storming down the stairs,"What the heck did you two do now? Why are the Grahams trending again, for the wrong reasons? I thought I gave a stern warning concerning that?"Jason was groaning in pain as he had sprained his ankle from the fall.Melissa begun wailing after Eric yelled at her and Jason."Mom, Dad, everything is ruined and it's all Ethan's fault.""Ethan's fault? What did he do this time?" Claire asked impatiently."Ethan.." Jason was about to explain what happened, w
