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
"You changed the time suddenly to two hours earlier, do you know whether I was busy or not?" Alexis slammed the table furiously with a huge frown on her face as she stared down at Ethan who had an expressionless face, his head raised up slightly as he looked at her. "I am not the one that needs the information after all" he said with an expressionless face, "sit down, Alexis" She let out a sigh and slumped on the chair slowly, there were two cups of coffee on the table, Ethan pushed one to her. "Whipped cream and two cubes of sugar like you like it" he muttered. "Never knew you had a pretty good memory for storing meaningful details" she joked and took a sip of the coffee, she licked the liquid that glued on her lips. "Mmmhhh" she moaned in satisfaction as the liquid touched her taste buds, the expression on her face showed how greatly she loved it. She placed the coffee back on the table, pushing it slightly to a corner. "Now, to the main reason why I am here," the expression o
“You wanted to see me” Hudson said with a tired voice immediately he barged into the garden where his father was chilling with a couple of friends. Mr. Alexandos turned his head on hearing the voice of his son, the others that were seating around him also turned their head to his direction of the voice. “Oh you are here son” a huge smile appearing on his face instantly. “Yeah, I heard that you wanted to see me, so I came straightaway when I had taken care of what I needed to but it seems like you are busy so I will check back later” he bowed slightly and turned back immediately but was halted in his steps immediately by one of the men seating with his father. “No wait, why are you leaving so soon, we are done with what we were discussing, it is not like it was something serious after all” one of the men seating around him said, flashing a smile at him. “Yeah,” another one began, “we were just catching up on old times” he added, standing up to his feet. The two of them shook han
