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
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
