"It's always a blast, catching up with you and Jack." Ethan said over the phone to Sarah."Yeah. Jack couldn't stand up straight, after having a go at two shots. TWO SHOTS." Sarah echoed from the other side of the call, before bursting into laughter.Ethan joined in laughing, when his bedside alarm rang and he realized that he had to get to work early, to oversee how the plans for the fashion brand were coming along, and to make some plans for his college reunion that was coming up.He didn't have a lot of friends in college. He went to Sapphire college in Beryl City. It was one of the prestigious private colleges in Beryl city, and he was opportuned to attend it through a scholarship.Being a pauper was hard in college. It was difficult to fit in, and most people only used him for his brains. He took advantage of that and got paid for his services.Jack and Sarah were his only true friends that accepted him as he was."Hey, Sarah. I don't want to end this call so quickly, but I've go

"No need to get so worked up over nothing. She's right. I would feel betrayed if I were in their shoes." Ethan said, waving off Tony's reaction.Tony returned to his seat, before apologizing, "I apologize for my outburst.""It's fine. I just asked out of concern for how Sarah and Jack would feel. I think they deserve to know." Emma said, with her head bent this time."I would let them know soon, but for now, let things remain as they are." Ethan concluded."I think that would be all for today. Tony get a normal suit and pair of loafers sent to the condo" Ethan ordered Tony before turning to Emma and saying,"It looked like you had to see Tony concerning something. You can carry on with that. I better head to my desk, so the others wouldn't get suspicious."With that, Ethan exited Tony's office.On Ethan's way to his desk, he bumped into Marcus, who was holding some papers and these papers went flying into the air.Ethan tried grabbing the papers that were still in the air."Can't you

“Hello”“Hello Sarah?” Ethan asked as he picked the call without checking his phone.“Yeah, it's me. Where are you?” Sarah asked from the other end of the call.Ethan placed the phone between his shoulder and neck as he went through some documents on the table with his laptop in front of him.“Uhmm, I'm home right now. How're you doing?”“I'm about to leave for the mall. If you're not too busy, I'd like you to join me” Sarah requested.Ethan looked down at his watch to check the time as his brows furrowed, "I'll be there in less than an hour. Send the location to me if you don't want me getting lost”.“Phew! Thank you so much. You're a dear friend. I'll send you the location now. Be there soon, byee” Sarah said over the phone before Ethan replied, “Bye!!!” then hung up the call.He dropped his phone on the table and went into his room to look for what he'll wear to the mall and he succeeded in picking out a vintage shirt and a black pair of trousers. He finished it up with a brown pa

"We're not struggling. Both the Millers and the Graham's are stronger financially when we come together. Or don't you want to show Ethan that you are more of a man than he could ever be?" Melissa argued with Jason.Jason knew that it was no use arguing with Melissa cause she'll only keep insisting and he wasn't ready for a back and forth with her."You're right. Let's get it. Only the best for my munchkin." Jason teased her and walked towards the counter to pay for the gown.Melissa walked towards the counter behind Jason, pushed Sarah and she fell on Ethan. Melissa scoffed, "Pathetic"."Watch how a real man does it for his woman." Melissa flung her hair as she held Jason's arm.Sarah was about to walk away to hide her shame, when she noticed that Jason was looking for his card and he said,"Seems I left my card in the car." Jason laughed nervously as the sales rep stared at him."I'll just go get it right now." He scratched his head and left the counter with Melissa.Ethan smiled, no

"What are you doing here with this bitch, Jason?" Melissa screamed as she slammed her fist on the table where Jason and another girl were seated."How dare you interrupt our quiet time together?" The other girl sitting with Jason, stood up and landed a heavy slap on Melissa's face.Ethan and Sarah walked into the same lounge to have their lunch, when they saw Melissa being slapped across the face by another woman while Jason sat there like a big ol' pile of nothing."Ouuu""Damn!!!""That must've hurt"."That would leave a mark".Ethan and Sarah gasped, while the other people enjoying their meal exclaimed from the scene that was unfolding in front of them.Melissa was still reeling from the slap, before she grabbed the other lady's hair and they were about to start fighting, when Jason finally stood up to intervene."Babe, you don't need to do this. Why are you not at home? You're not supposed to be here." Melissa landed a slap across Jason's face."You're sitting here, enjoying your

“Hahaha” Sarah and Ethan laughed at the sight of Melissa and Jason being escorted out of the building.“Gosh, my day has been made” Ethan exclaimed as he heaved a sigh.Sarah reached for Ethan's hands, looked in his eyes and said softly, "Thank you so much, I appreciate you”.Ethan looked puzzled and confused for a minute before he asked,”Thank you for what?”“Thank you for the gown and generally a good day. It's been awhile I had that” Sarah explained. “It's nothing my dear. I'm happy to do this for you” Ethan replied with a smile on his face.“No, it's not nothing. I actually mean it. I would have felt so bad if Melissa had the chance to humiliate me like she wanted. Thank you for not letting that happen." Sarah said as she held Ethan's cheeks and stared at him.“Bring the bill,” Ethan beckoned to the waitress nearby.She walked over to Ethan and said calmly, "Your bill has been settled by the gentleman in the corner”“Ouuuu, Sarah you have an admirer," Just as Ethan teased Sarah,

"This suit is worth $10million and it's definitely going to steal the show." Raphael announced."It is very tempting, but I think I'm going to stick with the suit I wore to Melissa's wedding." Ethan said, waving his hand to dismiss the clothes."I'm not going to allow you to do that. This is your very first reunion since you left college. It's time to show them that you're no longer the Ethan that they could walk over, just like they did, back in the day." Raphael stated with determination.Ethan let out an exasperated sigh."I'm not going there to reveal my real identity to them, but I also don't want to go there looking like the laughingstock I once was."Tony and Raphael began smiling like they had hit the jackpot with convincing Ethan to wear the suit they got for him."I'll only wear the suit on one condition." Ethan announced.Tony and Raphael almost facepalmed themselves before they asked,"What's that?""I can see Watson's family emblem embroidered on the arm of the blazer. Ge

"Melissa!!!" Jason yelled from downstairs."Yes!!!" Melissa yelled in response."We should be on our way. We're going to be late,” Jason retorted.“For fucks sake! You can't go anywhere with women, without them dragging you hours behind time. Fuck!” Jason muttered to himself under his breath.“I'm coming, urggh! How do I do look?” Melissa asked Jason, as she walked down the stairs.“You look fine, can we go now?” Jason asked without even sparing her a glance.He took his keys from the table and walked out.“Wait for me” Melissa echoed, as she held the hem of her gown in her hand and skipped out, right behind Jason.Jason got into the car as he yelled out, "Get over here! I've waited for you to bathe, dress up and put on make-up and now, I'm waiting for you to get into the car”.Melissa was stunned at Jason's mean behavior towards her, she walked to the car, opened the door for herself and got in.“You couldn't even open the door for me or tell me how nice my dress is. You didn't even

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

“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
