Hudson had gone back with Alexandros and Alberto to get his things from his old house but they both kicked against it after seeing what was there.
They had called it trash and bought new things to put in his new room and new clothes also.Hudson clapped his hand to shake off the dust on it, he stood with his hands placed on his waist, staring at the room with a smile of satisfaction showing how pleased he is plastered on his face, he had decorated as he wanted.His gaze moved around the wall, his eyes stopped on the portrait photo of his mother that was hung on the wall, apparently she had taken the photo when she was young, far before she gave birth to him.He remembered always hearing her talk about how that photo meant so much to her because it reminds her of the person that gave it to, she always says it with a smile on her face.The memories appeared vividly in his head.He shook his head and stepped out of the room, the apartment he once lived in, can never be compared to the one he is currently living in. It is far bigger, more luxurious, even the bathroom is bigger than his former apartment, not to mention the room. Everything in the house is top notch.He dipped his hands into his trousers' pockets, touring the house. It's been only two days since he came here and he didn't have a proper time to tour the house because his father was always interrupting. He could tell that his father was trying to know him better and recover lost time.There were maids walking to and fro, bowing their heads slightly to greet with a smile on their face as they walked past him.The scent of coffee wafted through the air, Hudson raised his chin up and sniffed the air to trace where the scent was coming from."Hudson" he heard the familiar slightly cracked voice of the old man from behind him.He had two cups of coffee in his hand, he stretched one to him with a smile on his face.Hudson collected it with a brief smile on his face and a slight nod, the smile broadened as the liquid touched his taste buds.It is exactly how he liked his coffee prepared."How do you… know about this stuff?" he asked with a puzzled expression on his face and his lips slightly curving upward to the top corner."Oh, it was while I was watching you, I was also studying you to be sure, it was really you, I can't just give Alexandros a false information, there is a lot of punishment to it" he said with a slight chuckle, that chuckle wasn't light at all, it was dark, void of any positive emotion but filled with fear.That explained much of who his father is, but he was still curious to know more about him, he seemed like a man of mystery."Your surname, Jackson, is trash , you should never use that name again, you are a Stewart, you have always been one, don't worry son," Alberto tapped his shoulder lightly and takes a sip of his coffee, "you will soon know how powerful that name is, soon, just soon" he said with a smirk on his face."Who is he… my dad, I mean?" saying the word "dad" with a bit of difficulty while looking at a dark painting of buildings falling apart hung on the wall."Well, as you know, he is a Mafia boss and he is the most feared one in and out of the Mafia world."Alberto followed his gaze to the painting on the wall, he took another sip of his coffee and turned away."It seems your father wants to see you, he has been looking for you""He just can't seem to get enough of me, huh?" he chuckled softly."Oh, there you are, I have been looking for you, Hudson, we have to talk" Alexandros said with a more serious expression on his face."In your office?""No, don't worry, we can do that, while walking, it seems like you are on a tour around"*****Ethan sat on the chair with his legs crossed on the table and a headset on his head, nodding and humming to the loud music that filled his ear, scrolling through the songs on the playlist on his phone, looking for the next song to play.He has a glass of wine in between the index and middle finger of his left hand.His phone vibrated in his hand, a call came in, a smile appeared on his cold face instantly as he saw the name of the caller."Hello babe" he said, immediately after picking the call."I am done with you, Ethan, I can't believe you did that sh*t that I just heard about" a voice that was filled with anger came from the other end of the line."Alexis, wh… what do… you mean?" he stuttered and let out a soft chuckle, trying to convince himself that it was a joke but her voice sounded with so much conviction."I mean the exact same thing you heard, how can you do that, you pretended to be me and sent him an invitation, you beat him up till he was almost unconscious as if that wasn't enough you lied to me, I can't continue with an a****** like you. I have always tried to tolerate your bullsh*ts but now I am done with that sh*t. It's over between us!""I don't know what you mean, Alexis, I don't know what you are talking about" he stood up, pacing around the room with a stressed, pained face, he bit his lips angrily, the expression on his face morphed to that of regret."Ha" Alexis laughed out, "do you play me for a fool or what, Ethan?""You are denying it when you obviously know that you have been caught," she laughed sarcastically."Wait, are you seriously going to break up with me because of that son of a b*tch?" he asked, with a surprised tone, he placed his hand on his chest in disbelief."Do you seriously want me to continue in the relationship with a liar and a monster like you?..." she let out a scoff irritatingly. She visibly showed it in her tone that she was getting irritated the more the conversation dragged on."Alexis, don't do this" he pleaded, he tried to mask the pain in his voice but he failed terribly at it."Nothing on this earth can change my decision!" the beeping sound indicating that the call has ended followed next."F*ck!!!" He repeated over and over and over again, letting his phone slip through his fingers and falling to the ground, pulling his headset off his head roughly and combing his hair backwards with his finger.A mixed expression plastered on his face; unbelief, shock.He held his chest in pain as he felt his heart tripled in beat, the break up slowly sinking in, he fell on his knees slowly, his eyes widened in pain.He couldn't believe how miserable he was feeling at the moment, he let out a scoff and shook his head, trying to ward off the pain.He stood up angrily and picked up the glass of wine, devouring it down his throat on a couple of gulps.A maid walked in with the bottle of wine in her hand, "do you want me to refill for you sire?" she asked politely."Bring it to my room" he said with a hoarse voice and an expressionless face, he masked what he was feeling perfectly with a cold expression, climbing the staircase in long strides.The maid was putting on the maid uniform which was a black gown that stopped just above the knee and a white mob cap on her head.She held the bottle of wine and the glass cup shakily, following him closely behind as they walked into his room.She wanted to protest against it but she couldn't, she had no choice than to go in with her."Shut the door" he said coldly as he sat on the only chair in his room.She did as she was told and placed the wine and the cup on the table, she uncorked the bottle and poured little of its content into the cup stopping just below half of the cup. Her hands were shaking through every step of the way.She had never been alone with him in his room before, she had heard of things that usually happen here long ago and that scared her, the expression on his face worsened the situation.She placed the bottle beside the bottle of wine as silently and calmly as she could in that situation and took a few steps backwards."I'll be on my way, sir" she said with a slight bow of her head."Wait, take off your dress, now" he said with a harsh tone."Sir?" she asked again to be sure she heard him correctly."Don't make me repeat myself, b****!" he yelled at her angrily, his gaze growing colder as he stared at her."Please, I am begging you sir Ethan, please" she pleaded, her eyes clouded with tears"You all are b****es and you should be treated like one, don't make me repeat myself and do as you are ordered to!" he yelled at her coldly."Yes sir" she whimpered and zipped down her gown, letting it fall to the ground slowly, she used one of her hands to cover her n*pples and the other free hand to cover her p*ssy but it barely did the job."Take your hands off"She pretended not to hear what he said, but his cold gaze forced her hands to drop of their own accord.She bit her lips to fight back the sob that was approaching like a tsunami, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably."Good girl" he said with a devilish grin plastered on his face, his eyes filled with lust.The loud screeching sound of the tires of a car after the brake was applied forcefully filled the air. Alexis stepped out of her black Mercedes Benz, she took off her sunglasses and climbed the stairs, heading to the apartment she was told he lived in. The clicking sound of her heels hitting, climbing the staircase one step at a time, slowly till she got to the old wooden door, she looked around, the paint was starting to peel off and there are large cracks on the wall. She folded her fist lightly and knocked on the door, she got no response, and she did it again and again till she was convinced that no one was at home. She climbed back down with a slightly worried look on her face, pursing her lips a flat line, she had been wandering around all day to look for his house and now that she eventually did, he is not at home. She let out a tired sigh and walked to the closest apartment she saw next. She knocked on the door twice and stood back, with her hands held behind her, w
"You did what?!" Ethan's father stormed in angrily. Ethan stood up in surprise, "I don't understand what you mean" he said. "What don't you understand? Don't tell me you do not know what the f*** I am talking about here!" "I am serious, I don't understand, I don't know what you are talking about, how the f*** am I expected to know what you are talk—“ Ethan’s father right hand punch connected with Ethan’s cheek, it was too quick for him to react, with lightning speed he felt fist hitting his cheek strongly. He held his cheek in shock as he felt the stinging pain of the place where his father’s strong punch just hit. A look of shock just came over his face immediately as he registered his father was saying, he remembered the scene of what happened a few hours ago before his father came home.“Fuck!” he muttered silently, rubbing the place slowly. “It seems like you are gunning after my ruins you son of a b****!” he yelled angrily and threw another punch at him, Ethan couldn’t dod
Ethan picked up his phone reluctantly with a slight frown on his face, he clicked the search bar in the contacts app and typed in Alexis’s name, before he typed it finished her contact appeared and he clicked on it, putting a call across to her. He placed the phone on his ear, after a couple of rings, the call was finally picked and Alexis’s sharp voice came from the other end, “How may I help you?” she asked with a very harsh tone, he could picture an irritated expression on her face, which she always has on, whenever she is pissed. “I am sorry” he said softly through gritted teeth. “Huh? I did not hear you clearly, can you speak louder?” she teased. Ethan let out a deep sigh to calm his raging nerves, “I said I am sorry” “For which of them?” “What do you mean by which of them?” “You did many things to annoy me and I don’t even think I am the one who needs your fake a** apology at the moment” “I am sorry for all of them and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, it is not s
Hudson sat at the dinner table, the foods there were untouched yet, he raised his head and took another look at the wall clock with a frown plastered on his face, it was already a few minutes to nine. He let out a deep sigh and sat back, resting his head on the chair, it had become a tradition for him and his father to eat breakfast and dinner this past few days with the aim of strengthening their bond and it was going according to plan while he was also slowly getting used to eating with his father most of the time. A confused expression slowly appeared on his face as his mind traced back to the conversation he had with his father at noon, "Two years" he muttered with a light scoff. The loud honking of a car sounded downstairs, jolting Hudson out of his thoughts and the sound of tires moving against the cold paved road leading to the garage followed next. The door to the dinner room was opened immediately and Mr. Alexandros walked through it with a small smile on his face. "How
TWO YEARS LATER The news of Mr. Alexandros retiring shook the Mafias, most of them were happy that he was getting out of the mafia world. They saw it as an opportunity to take the reins, to pick up the top position that he occupied. There was news of a heir taking over, an unknown son of Alexandros, he wasn't seen as a threat, he was rather seen as a stepping stone to their goal. A time and venue had been set for this event and all the mafias around the whole world had all been invited, it was only a couple of days away. "Two years gone and there have been a couple of changes around here, in a couple of years now it might become unrecognizable" Hudson said in a calm thick voice with a smile on his face as he stared out the window of the black Mercedes Benz he was in. He was occupying the back seat of the car. "Yeah, exactly, there have been a lot of changes lately" Bethel replied, his hands clutching the wheels of the car loosely as he turned the wheels slowly to evade a car th
"What occasion is it, today, Dad?" Ethan asked with a sight frown on his face while tapping away on his phone. The expression on his face showed that he wasn't happy going to where they are going currently but he had no other choice than to come along with his dad, he dared not protest for fear of the consequences. Since the incident he had two years ago, none of his crimes dare go unpunished, there was always a consequence or the other for anything he does that is against his father or what he wants. "Oh, it is the introduction of the most powerful Mafia's son and all the mafias have been invited. I see this as a jackpot for us if we strike our cards well, and this all depends on your relationship with his son," he said with a bit of excitement in his voice. "The most powerful mafia?" he asked with a frown on his face, suddenly piquing interest in the topic, anything his father talks about things like this, he just nods his head in response and reply very rarely but this time his
“This is my heir and the successor to my empire, the new king of my empire” Mr. Alexandros added, there was a loud applause that filled the hall instantly. Hudson eyes roamed around the huge hall, all the faces around, he knew about everyone present in the hall or rather he read about all of them, he have enough information about them up in his head, he kept on moving his eyes around, it finally landed on someone he had predicted to come; Ethan. Their eyes meet each other, Hudson flashed him a bright smile like all is good, while Ethan moved his eyes away instantly, he couldn’t bear to look at him. “Hudson is someone that is weak, useless and an orphan, so what the f*** is he doing there?” Ethan said lowly through gritted teeth, he clenched his fist as tight as he could till his knuckles turned white and his fingernails bared into his palm, he couldn’t feel any pain, he drowned in his pool of thoughts instantly that he didn’t know when the lady he was talking with walk away. He wa
The introduction of Hudson was over, people were leaving slowly, while there were still a lot of people in the hall, looking for opportunities to talk to him.Ethan stood with his father outside the hall, his father had a huge smile on his face as he kept on talking about Mr. Alexandros and his assets, Ethan only watched his mouth move, he wasn't hearing anything that his father was saying, He had drowned in his own thoughts of unbelief wondering why Hudson pretended to be an orphan, bearing the surname of a nobody when his father is a very powerful man and one of the most feared people in the world. "Now go and talk to his son, make sure you make him your friend and you dare not make him your enemy" Ethan looked at his father in shock after hearing what he just ordered, he squeezed his face, drawing his eyebrows closer to each other, "No, I can't" he stated with confidence. "What do you mean by no?" his father asked, a surprised expression plastered on his face. "I said no, I can
FOUR MONTHS LATER Alexis sat nervously in the bedroom, dressed in her wedding gown but somehow she found herself sweating for absolutely no reason. The door opened slowly and Hudson walked in. "Hi babe... " "Hudson! You know it's not nice to see your bride in her wedding dress before she walked down aisle. ""I know... ""I just wanted to check up on you ""Now you have seen me, so just leave already before someone sees you here! By the way, how did you manage to get in here?" Alexis asked teasingly, with smiles in her face."Let's just say.. I sneaked in just to see how beautiful my bride looks. Truth be told Babe, you look absolutely stunning and I might just stay rooted at this spot and keep staring at you all day"Alexis blushed really hard as she tried to look down but Hudson held her jaw up."Don't! Let me keep looking" He said.She looked at him, straight into his eyes and all she could see was herself in it. She could see love in his eyes and that could only melt her heart
Chapter 134 Bethel stood in front of Kenny who was on his knees with his head busted, blood was dripping down his face. "What were you saying again?" he asked again. "What the fuck are you talking about, who the hell is Ethan?" he asked with a confused expression."Hudson is at the hospital with his wife that is the reason why he can't come here but he sent me specifically to greet you for him for the job well done that you carried out for Ethan or are you still going to keep up that stupid lies of yours that you just wanted to play a game with him?" he asked with a blank expression on his face, holding the bat with his hand but he placed it on his shoulder."I don't know what you are talking about but seeing that you came alone, I thought that you decided to be a real man and settle this with your fist and not beat up someone without a weapon," he said through gritted teeth with an angry expression on his face. "Well, if you think that I am scared of having a fair fight with you,
Chapter 133Hudson drove as fast as he could, jumping out of the car without slamming it close and before he even packed his car properly. Immediately he reached the entrance of the hospital, the people guarding the entrance bowed their heads to him slightly and let him walk past them into the hospital. He stopped at the counter, a ring heavy, "I am sorry, I am looking for someone named… Alexis Stewart, in this hospital" he said. "I am sorry, there is no one bearing that name in this hospital currently," she said with a calm voice which only irritated him, he groaned and ran his hand through his hair, looking frustrated and furious. "Fuck!" he muttered and turned away, he looked back at her, "Do you know me?" he asked, while pointing to his face, hoping she nods her head. She nodded her head slowly just like Hudson had expected, "Yes" she muttered, a smile making its way to her face, "Hudson Stewart, the number one richest and most powerful man, right?" "Yeah, yeah" he replied to
One down. Ethan was the first to lose a man, despite being the first to start the shooting. He was the only one taking proper cover, while the rest of them had confidence in their numbers being greater than the number of people on the other side. Seeing their behavior only made Hudson chuckle, he already knew they were going to have that thought and it was going to be to his advantage.He stayed in his car, with his hand on the trigger button, he had no intention of wasting bullets today. He turned to look at the person beside him and it only made him chuckle, he was lying down on the floor, pointing his gun through the hole under the car, he turned to look at Hudson and nodded his head. Hudson could already guess what he was trying to do but he needed to confirm, "Is it what I am thinking?" he questioned him and the lad nodded his head with a bright smile on his face. "I shoot the feet of someone since I have a very good aim, I am sure I won't miss and then once the bullet hit
Alexis was rushed to the emergency unit immediately after the attention of the doctor was called."Um… sir, can I have a few moments with you?" one of the doctors that was on duty said to Ethan, grabbing his attention. He turned to look at the doctor with a puzzled expression on his face, "A moment for what? How can I help you?" he asked with a harsh tone. "Do you do anything to make her unconscious, like do you by any chance hit her or something?" he asked, while making gestures with his hand and looking at him keenly. "What is giving you the thoughts that I would do such a thing to a woman that just gave birth? By the way, isn't that punishable by law?" he asked again, folding his arm on his chest. "Yeah sure it is, I am sorry for asking you such a ridiculous question, I don't know what came over me," the doctor said, running his hand through his hair and combing it backward, he shook his head and walked away. Ethan shook his head and stood up from where he sat, walking towards
“I want this call to be traced,” Hudson yelled, entering the place that was meant for the search for Alexis, all the equipment and technologies they needed were there, “Get working now! I want the exact location of the place” he barked at them. The people in charge of the tech and tracking quickly went to work and started the tracking of the call, it didn’t take long for them to locate where the call was coming from and immediately after they did, they sent the location to Hudson. He ended the call and looked up the place, it was a place that he knew too well, he ran outside as fast as his legs could carry him, immediately he got outside, he saw three more cars parked beside his car, Bethel popped his head out of the window of one, “Lead the way, let’s get moving” he yelled to Hudson. “How many people are available at the moment, I need at least five more extra, hope it is up to you,” Hudson said, pulling open the driver’s seat of his car, he stepped in and ignited the engine of hi
Ethan walked into the ward after Alexis was cleaned up, he turned to the nurses that were present in the ward with a puzzled expression, his eyes moving around the whole room, searching for something, where the newborn baby was but he couldn’t find him and it was getting on his nerves. “Where is the baby?” he asked suddenly with a calm voice but he didn’t get any response, he turned to one of the nurses who looked like she had a loose mouth and would spill anything if asked properly. “Sorry please, do you know where my baby is?” he asked, calmly with a worried tone. She stopped what she was doing and turned to face Ethan, flashing him a smile, she said, “I am so sorry but it seemed like the mother wasn’t in a good condition, she seemed stressed but emotionally and physically and this affected the baby, he is currently undergoing treatment, you just need to exercise a little patience and I am sure that you will see your baby in no time” she explained calmly with a sweet and assuring
Ethan walked up to the shade with a glass of red wine in one of his hands and a gossip magazine in his other free hand. Just like usual, he met Alexis seated there, doing nothing as usual, just staring at the garden and enjoying the cool breeze. It is only at periods like this that she looks alive but that doesn't seem to be the case here, she seemed different today, uncomfortable.Ethan raised the glass of wine to his lips, from the side of his eyes, he noticed her move uneasily on the chair that she was seated on. "Are you sure you are okay?" Ethan asked again with a worried tone for the umpteenth time. "Yes, yes, and yes and yes and yes and yes, how many times do you want to ask me that question and how many times do you want me to reply to you?" Alexis said with a hiss, rising to her feet. She walked past Ethan, with her hand on her stomach and a little difficulty, after taking a couple of steps past him, she let out a loud yell. Looking down, she saw the blood on the floor.
“I warned you, didn’t I?” Mr. Alexandros asked Hudson, immediately he stepped into his sitting room. Hudson jumped off his feet, “Oh, Dad, it’s quite a surprise to see you here without notice” Hudson said, forcing his lips to stretch into a smile. “Don’t deviate from the topic that we are discussing here” Mr. Alexxandros said while shaking his head, he had a very angry expression on his face. “Which topic is that, father?” Hudson asked, feigning a confused expression on his face and acting like he had no idea of what his father was talking about. “Oh, you know what I am talking about, Hudson, why would you attack Brandon?” his father asked.“Oh, that?” Hudson asked with a wave of his hand, a slight chuckle escaping his lips “Though I am very glad about how the idiot died when I heard the news, I mean he deserved that, the only thing that is making me not happy like I should is the fact that I am not the one that put a bullet through his skull” he said through gritted teeth. “You
