Two hours later, Drogo and Ethan were leaving the coastal countryside with flash drives and documents from the smaller rectangular boxes in the treasure chest at the Ivanov's resident. They also didn't leave without having some money transferred to Polina and a promise to visit her again in the future.Now they were headed to Ethan's grandfather's beach house in the rental car.“I'm thinking of having Polina work for us after I resuscitate Belinsky Enterprises. I'm going to focus on how restaurant and food production part.” Ethan shared his thoughts with Drogo who responded with a small smile of approval.They got to the beach house in time. Outside, the building was beauty to behold but Ethan knew that the inside would be crawling with all kinds of creepy and stray things. After his grandfather's death, all of the workers had been dismissed including the housekeeper or do he thought until he saw a hunched figure in a black coat and a checkered print tweed flat cap hurrying out ofa cr
The best they could do by themselves was make the study rid of dust so to recieve Mr Alexei Javi who was probably running down this way with his shadow behind.As soon as they were done, theybwere informed of his presence.“Sir Zaitsev, you have a visitor.”“Scan and see if you recognize his face,” Ethan replied the AI with a smile, knowing that it knows who Alexei was. It just simply felt good to be him again.“Alexei Javi, Chairman of Javinsons hotel. Would you like further information on him sir?” it replied.“No, thank you.”“Approve or deny entry?”“Approve.” Minutes later, a man in his seventies still with a youthful energy around hims burst into the room as if the fact that he had been given entry was not enough proof that Lukyan was alive. As soon as he reached the threshold of the study, he halted. Eyes shifted from Droho to Lukyan. “You.” He breathed, staring at Diego. His eyes softened and Justine was filled with relief. “You're here too.”Drogo smiled. “But…” He stared
“You have a visitor Will.” The officer informed him..William frowned, wondering who it could be. Has his father developed a remorse of his un-fatherly actions and wanted to right the wrong?Nah. William shook his head.“Who is it?”It's your uncle.” The officer replied over his shoulder. William halted. His father's brothers didn't give a hoot about family, why would they visit him all of a sudden.“Hey! Hurry up. I ain't got all day.” The officer yelled at him. William wasn't led to the usual visiting room. He was led to a more.lrivaye one hat a detective would use to interrogate a prisoner for details instead. “Who the heck could that caring uncle be?” William wondered out loud as the office urged him into a room.The bloody hell!” William yelled as soon as he saw who was seated waiting for him.Ethan and one other man he didn't know. Ethan looked at the officer and nodded at him to leave them in privacy. “Hey! Hey!!!” William yelled whn this officer locked them in.“I'd prefer
They were all waiting for one person to arrive. Ruby continued to glare at William, pissed that he was here. “I still don't see any reason why he is here Lukyan.” Ruby called him directly now that everyone present in the room now knows. “We need him to testify against his father in the court later. Besides an enemy of my enemy is a friend even if it's temporary. “ Etham whispered to her. Ruby spared another harsh glance at William who gave her look that told how pleased he was to be her source of discomfort. Ruby thought she's had her share of surprise that day until the AI announced Drogo's presence askimg Lukyan to give them entry. Them because Drogo wasn't alone. Ruby watched the door with expectant eyes as Drogo filed in, followed by Tony and a battered blindfolded man.. Tony pushed the blindfolded man to the floor, blood smeared the it as the man tried to gather himself up. In addition to the blindfolded, his mouth was gagged and his hands were tied behind his back. “A p
Ethan takes a deep breath and walked into the tall building. It was one of the various companies owned by his wife's family."My wife." The words rolled off his tongue bitterly as he entered the elevator. He had no idea what is wife would say when she sees him. He hoped he'd be able to leave the company unnoticed by her.Left to him, he wouldn't have dared visited the company but his brother in-law had asked him to bring a fruit parfait from the house.He clutched the paper bag in his hands when the elevator opened with a 'ding' sound. He lowered his head and hurriedly walked to his brother in-law's office, praying his wife wasn't anywhere around. He knocked on his brother in-law's door and paced around in fear when he got no response."What the heck are you doing here?" A chilling, all familiar voice asked behind him.Slowly, he turned around to meet blue piercing eyes glaring at him."I-I." He stuttered, loss on how to explain himself. Workers around them spoke in whispers, poi
Ethan hung his head low and went to the bathroom. He began washing till his hands were numb. Just as he finished washing the clothes seven hours later, he heard Isabel's voice from the living room."Is my husband here?" He heard her ask.He sighed in relief. She was the only one who could save him from her mother and reduce his punishment. "No, he is not." His mother-in-law, Victoria, replied. He went still, his thought racing. What was Victoria planning now."But a good for nothing, poor rat by the name Ethan is here." Victoria continued. "Rathan!" Victoria yelled for him.Ethan rinsed his hands and rushed downstairs, "You called for me. "Victoria scoffed and turned to her daughter, "There he is."Ever since Isabel introduced Ethan as her husband, Victoria had hated him and always blamed him for ruining her daughter's life. No matter how much she begged Isabel to divorce him, she wouldn't answer. As she stared at her daughter and Rathan, she smirked. Everything should wor
As Ethan stood outside, lost in thought. Someone came to stand beside him waited patiently till he noticed them.Ethan pulled out of his thoughts and glanced at the person staring at him with a beautiful smile. Without talking, the person removed her baggy jacket and placed it over Ethan's ripped shirt."No.. no.. I can't take this." Ethan quickly declined, removing the jacket."Take it, it's the least I can do." The female smiled again. Ethan nods gratefully and welcomed the warmth the jacket brought. "My name is Ruby." The lady beamed, "You saved my grandfather earlier.""Oh... okay. ""Thank you very much, and if you need my help later don't hesitate to let me know. " She squeezed her card into his pocket.Her mind wondering why he was being treated poorly."What's your name?" Ruby asked.Ethan stared off at the sky as he replied, "Ethan. My name is Ethan."Ruby nods and disappears back into the hospital. Unknown to them, Isabel watched the entire exchange and was shaking
Ethan stared at the man in front of him, waiting for him to laugh and say he's joking or something of sort. Or maybe it was a prank from his wife. The timing was too perfect to be a coincidence. Ethan took an involuntary step backward and shook his head strongly. "That's not true. I don't believe you.""Come on, young master, don't you remember me at all? It's me, Drogo?" The man said earnestly. Ethan took in the man's features. He looked nothing like a gentle man. He was about six foot five, had bulging muscles, tattoos arm, and even a piercing on his lower lip. There was no way he could have gotten himself associated with a person like that. It had to be his wife playing tricks on him. "Fine..." Drogo persisted, "Ask me anything. We've been together since you were little. ""Ask you a question?" Ethan repeated in his mind, questions he was sure their answers could be manipulated."Get out!" Ethan yelled in frustration, "Go back and tell Isabel that her tricks won't work on m
