“If you say so, then I’ll have to admit that you are right.” She responded with a weak smile on her face.“Hey! You don’t have to worry about this. I just want you to keep up with your writing.” He placed his hands around her chin and assured her softly with his hands.As they kept staring at each other for a long minute, the waitstaff finally arrived with the same meal that they had ordered. The aroma was very delightful to the nose. The waitress stood in their presence and dropped the meal on the table with a soft voice and a beautiful smile.“I hope you’ll enjoy it and keep on patronising our brand.”“Sure! As long as the meal beats my expectations, then I’ll always be your number one top customer.”The waitress held onto her laugh with her breath before responding,Thank you very much, sir.”Meanwhile, Bella tried to understand why Ethan was out here with a beautiful lady like Anita. She was lost in her thoughts before Marco snapped his fingers at her face to call her back.“Bella, what a
“You are a liar, Anita, and a bloody thief. Hold on a second, did I just tag you as a bloody thief? I guess I made a mistake. You are a shameless thief.”“Ethan, are you the one saying all of this? After everything we’ve been through, Her legs were beginning to stagger as she spoke.“You must be joking, right? What exactly have we been through? I barely just met you 12 hours ago, and here you are tagging it as if we’ve been in a relationship.Bella was surprised to see what was happening before her eyes when she raised her eyeballs. She didn’t even pay attention to Marco anymore; instead, she focused all her attention on Anita and Ethan.“When I thought this shameless and useless boy had moved on, this is what happened? OMG! What a poor girl! I wondered what he might have said to her to wash her brain before she finally accepted his proposal to be his date for tonight. Or was he trying to ridicule me with the girl?” Bella questioned her inner self, who was curious to know where all the ar
“How about we go check up on Ethan? I hope he is safe and not drowning. Bella stood up in fear as she tried to take a step forward to look for Ethan. Marco grabbed her hands and held them so tight.“What has gotten over you? Why can't you just let that boy go and be on his own for once? Why do you keep acting as his saviour?"“Excuse me! What did I just hear you say?" She stannered a bit with her voice.“You heard me say the right thing. I didn't change my words, nor are you deaf not to hear me speak.”“Marco, I can't believe you are the one saying this to me. After everything I've done for you, After everything we've been through, you have the effrontery to utter those disgusting words to me. How dare you tag me as his saviour? Do I look like one?”“Your actions say everything, Bella. Don't try and play the manipulative game right now.” He defended himself.“Which nonsense manipulative game are you talking about? Weren't you there when I pushed Anita with my words for her to teach Ethan s
“Shut your dirty mouth, Ethan. No one is coming to save you. I'm going to teach you the hard way how you need to stop lying to people about your fake wealth." Bella kept pressing his head into the water closet as he gasped for air.“Bella, don't do this to me. You won't go Scot-free at all. If you think that I'm faking my wealth, then so be it.” He tried fighting back with his hands, trying to grab Bella's hands.Bella's eyes blazed with anger as she tightened her grip on Ethan's wrists, maintaining her steely resolve. "You've been living a lie, Ethan, and it ends now. I won't let you deceive people any longer. I'm so glad that Anita Baby listened to my headings and warnings before she came and dumped you here in the toilet."Ethan, desperate for air, managed to sputter in defiance, "You can't force the truth out of me, Bella. You'll regret this.”Bella scoffed, her grip relenting slightly. "Regret? I've regretted trusting you and your fake promises. It's time for you to face the cons
“I’m feeling better and relieved, and it’s because you both came to save me. I don’t even know what would have been my fate if you people didn’t show up for me. Now, I can boldly beat my chest and say that good people still exist.” Ethan responded to them with his hands, cleaning his face with the face towel the young woman gave him.“It’s nothing, and I’d advise you never to get yourself stuck in there next time. It’s not advisable or welcoming at all. What if we weren’t kind enough to come to your aid, earfly? Do you think you might have survived it?’ The man asked him.“Sir, It wasn’t that I wanted to be stuck here forever, nor was it that I placed myself in this kind of situation. I was pushed in here by a lunatic, but it’s a long story, and I don’t ever want to talk about it so that I won’t bother you with my problems.”“Did I just hear the man speak about a lunatic? A lunatic in this restaurant? I would rather take my leave than stand and watch the lunatic pounce on me.” The lady
After having a hectic day at the restaurant, Ethan picked up his bag and his suit to leave the restaurant he had come to earlier on. Marco and Bella, feeling so pained, cancelled their date and went back home.“Babe, we need to strategically plan out intensively how we want to bring Ethan’s back down.” Marco, who had full control of the wheel speed, had jealousy in his voice.“You don’t have to worry about that, Marco. He is already down, and for me, that’s final. I still stand by my truth that Ethan is living a fake life, and he won’t escape it the next time I get hold of him.”Marco smirked with disgust. "Bella that’s what you end up saying, and by the end of the day, you won’t still get anything done at all. How many times have I believed in you, and your plan still didn’t come out well?”“Marco, that doesn’t matter this time around. Ethan, he is already a finished man, and for your contract, he’ll call you back to come to sign with him.”“Bella, that hasn’t yet answered the goddamn que
Ethan drove down all the way from the restaurant to his apartment. Vroom! Vroom! “I can't believe he came back this early. I thought he was just joking about his return. Anyways, I'm glad that I made the meal even before his return. ”- Nadia said to herself as she dressed up at the dining table. Knock! Knock! “I'm coming, uncle Ethan. ”- she went over to the door handle and pulled it over. “Wow! Why aren't you asleep? Are you still awake because of me? ”She didn't pay attention to the question she asked earlier, she was only focused at who else was coming to join them. Ethan was astonished to see her not still looking outside the door as if she was expecting anyone. “Nadia! Shut the door immediately. No one is coming inside. I'm already inside already or can't you see me? ”“Uhmm… I wasn't.. Looking out for anyone. ”- she stuttered a bit. “That aside, please, where is my dinner? I'm really famished. ”-he fling his suit on the couch. Nadia hurriedly closed the door and turne
The door flew open as Jacob stormed into Ethan’s office. "What's the plan? Is there anything new that we can work on today?”“Not now, Ethan. I’m trying hard to clear up my desk and finish some tasks.” His hands were busy with the files scattered on the table.“Your desk? I thought you’d done that before you came into the office today. Besides, you had a day's break all to yourself. You should’ve worked it out at home.”He sighed a sigh of relief. “Jacob, I so wish to go back in time and maximise my time to the fullest.”"Why are you saying such a thing as that? How did you spend your weekend?”“You want to know how I spent my weekend? I wasted it, and I feel so pained about it.”Jacob burst out with laughter. “A whole you, Ethan? If anyone should be complaining about not utilising their time well, then he shouldn’t be you.”“Why are you saying that? You think I’m all perfect, and I don’t seem to have any flaws at all.”Jacob crossed his legs and rested his back on the chair he had on
