The Scorned Heir Chapter Twenty
‘You have no business being here. You do not belong here.’Ethan was stunned for a few seconds. What had suddenly struck her? Why was she acting so strangely?"What do you mean by that, Samantha?" He inquired, hoping to have misheard what she had said previously."I believe what I said is quite self-explanatory." She responded quickly. "I don't have time to waste on you. I have things to do and hotel guests to speak with. Please excuse yourself from the premises before I summon the guards to do that. It would be embarrassing if you forced me to kick you out. That is something I shall despise doing."Ethan couldn't believe what he was hearing. Where did all of this come from? Why had she been so sweet to him earlier? He couldn't figure out why she was suddenly unpleasant to him. Did he say something incorrectly?"I didn't expect this from you, Samantha." Ethan spoke with disappointment in his voice. "I realize that the bodyguards were tough on me because they didn't know who I was. But

Samantha laughed. "Regret? What do I have to be sorry about when a thug like you threatens me? Or do you believe that attempting to enter the hotel grounds by force is not a legal offense? If you continue to speak to me in this manner, I will have you arrested."Ethan's pupils dilated. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. To begin with, she utterly humiliated him by bringing up his history. She brought up his financial difficulties in school and mocked him for it. She was now accusing him of criminal activity. Could she possibly get any worse?"Are you trying to accuse me of a criminal act?" Ethan inquired, completely taken aback. "What has come over you, Samantha?""Yes. And if you don't go, I'll have you arrested." She hissed. "I don't think you even can afford to bail yourself. Or can you?"Ethan gave a slight shake of his head. He'd had enough of her insults. As he stood there, he began to regret turning down Archibald's offer of a ride. They wouldn't have considered disrespec

Samantha stared at Ethan, shock evident in her expression."W..what are you talking about? You own this place?" she stuttered in disbelief. He didn't take his gaze away from Drew. Drew could tell he wasn't bluffing by the serious look on his face."Right away sir," Drew responded without any form of query. Samantha's face paled instantly. The shock on her face was palpable, her confidence going down the drain. Ethan caught sight of her hands trembling in fear."You heard Mr. White. Your services are no longer needed," Drew said to her firmly. Her knees wobbled and she fell to the floor.She gazed at Ethan desperately. "Ethan, I had no idea you owned this place. Forgive me for all I said. I wasn't in my right senses," she pleaded. Her apology didn't sound sincere to him. And even if it did, his mind was made up. He would never forgive her for all the insults she hurled at him and Cassie. She deserved whatever was about to happen to her. The people passing by paused and looked at the s

"You have done a tremendous job, and we are all proud of you, "Lilian said to Cassie and Cassie smiled proudly. “I thought you wouldn’t be able to get the work done, but you proved us wrong and showed us how capable you are, we are proud of you, no perfect words can express how proud I am”Ethan found himself stunned and taken aback by the unexpected twist that had unfolded. Cassie's parents, who had previously blamed him and accused him of leading Cassie towards unfathomable actions, suddenly shifted their perspective and expressed pride in her.“Mom! You flatter too much, I hadn’t believed in myself either, but it was all thanks to Ethan, he pushed me when I didn’t believe in myself and he was there to support me throughout” Cassie replied to her mom.Moving deeper into the room, Ethan closed the distance between himself and Cassie, as well as her parents. Startled, they finally became aware of his presence. Lilian, Cassie's mother, greeted him with an uncharacteristically upbeat to

Chapter 24Ethan's expression was one of sheer astonishment as he observed his wife gracefully adorning herself in a stunning red gown. The gown was designed with a front slit that tastefully showcased her well-toned thigh, perfectly accentuating her figure.“You are making me shy” Cassie suddenly said and Ethan erupted into laughterAs night descended, the pair prepared for the grand party. Ethan had chosen to assist Cassie in getting ready, and he couldn't help but be captivated by her stunning appearance. He was certain that his wife would exude an unmatched radiance, guaranteeing that she would stand out among the crowd at the event.Cassie possessed an enviable figure that seemed effortlessly flawless, and her innate beauty required minimal effort to achieve. As Ethan was lost in his thoughts, Cassie abruptly cleared her throat, catching him off guard. With a hint of amusement lingering on her lips, she raised an eyebrow in a playful response.“I can't help but imagine how lucky

"You should be ashamed to call her your wife when you cannot offer her anything," Mason said and the room became quiet the air getting dense.An expression of disbelief crossed his face, causing his eyebrows to arch in a questioning manner. He stared directly at Ethan, silently daring him to utter a single word. In response, Ethan tightly balled his hand into a fist, exerting immense pressure that threatened to break the delicate skin and draw blood.Desperately trying to conceal the waves of anger surging within him, he strategically folded his hands behind his back, masking his true emotions from prying eyes.“What’s wrong with you Mason, please leave! I can’t have you come over to my house and insult my husband, that’s enough!”Cassie yelled angrily, she moved forward to face Mason but her mother held her back.“Let me go, mom! I have to talk sense into him. Why can’t you accept that I am married and I have no intention of cheating on my husband with you” Cassie said and Mason chuck

Mason held a drink in his hand and slowly twirled it around before offering it to Cassie, who was busy fuming inside the car, still angry at the way Ethan gave in easily.Cassie glared at Mason and turned her head to look at the city passing a blur, ignoring the stink Mason was holding.“Don’t tell me, you are going to ignore me throughout the night. Are you that offended your husband let you go easily like the coward he is” Mason said and Cassie shot him a look.“I have told you several times not to talk about Ethan in that manner, if not just stop the car and I will gladly come down, I can go to the venue with a cab” Cassie retorted, fisting her hand angrily. The night wasn’t going the way she had planned, and everything was on her nerves.“Stop being stiff Cassie, I don’t know why you get so angry when someone spills the truth about Ethan, you know deep down every word said against him is the truth” Mason stated and Cassie flared at her, at this point she was tired and regretted ge
The Scorned Heir Chapter Twenty Seven
Cassie walked into the buzzing hall, the vibrant lights and pulsating music seemingly mocking her turbulent state of mind. She felt out of place amidst the lively crowd, her delicate balance between intoxication and emotion threatening to collapse. The sound of laughter and merriment echoed in her ears, a stark contrast to the turmoil within her.Desperately needing something sturdy to hold on to, Cassie reached out her trembling hand and gripped the nearby wall. The coolness of the surface offered a brief respite, grounding her in the midst of the chaotic scene. Her head spun with a mixture of alcohol and emotions, the intoxicating effects and the weight of her current situation vying for control.“Fuck!” she muttered as she tried to stable her stance.“Why is everything going against me today!” she muttered as she squeezed her eyes shut.Arnold watched her from a distance, a smirk dancing on his face. He glanced at his phone occasionally, watching a video Mason had sent him. Disgust

Mason was happy everything was going as planned, the thought of how he was humiliated a few days ago only made him more livid, and he did anything to prove to them, that he wasn’t a failure.Mason remembered how Arnold met him outside his office, at first, he was surprised to see him outside his office, but soon his surprise morphed into anger. “Mr. Stitches!” Arnold had called when he saw Mason moving closer to him, Mason had a faint smile on his face.“I wasn’t expecting to see you here, is everything alright?” Mason asked.“Yes everything is fine, I just came here to formally invite you to the feasts you know the celebratory party for winning the deal,” Arnold said amusingly, he had a tug of mischievous smile on his lips.“Thank you, you could have just sent an invitation, you don’t have to go far by coming here yourself,” Mason said and Arnold laughed, gently lolling his head back.“I have to come myself because it’s important.

To prove what he was saying was wrong, Cassie snatched the drink from his hand and drank it on a go.“Good,” Mason said and smirked. Quietly, fisting his hand into a ball to show his happiness. He gently pulled his phone from his pocket, made sure Cassie wasn’t seeing him, and set it on camera, gently placing it in a place that would cover Cassie.Mason was happy everything was going as planned, the thought of how he was humiliated a few days ago only made him more livid, and he did anything to prove to them, that he wasn’t a failure.Mason remembered how Arnold met him outside his office, at first, he was surprised to see him outside his office, but soon his surprise morphed into anger. “Mr. Stitches!” Arnold had called when he saw Mason moving closer to him, Mason had a faint smile

Ethan arrived at the venue, he stepped out of the cab “Keep the change” he said as he handed over the fee to the cab man, who slightly bowed at him and drove off.Ethan turned to walk inside the venue when he suddenly noticed Mason, he had his back resting on a car and was about to light a cigar, he thought he might have stayed behind, perhaps he wanted to humiliate him.
