“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
Hudson stepped inside the warehouse fearlessly but fully on guard for any surprise attack. He saw Bethel standing with his gun in one hand pointing towards the ground, his other hand was bleeding and a few guards were standing behind him, they were putting on suits, Hudson recognized all of them instantly, they were surrounded by dead bodies lying on the floor and a few that were heavily injured.The two men that brought them were both standing with a gun pointed at Bethel and the rest of the guards, they both had a smirk plastered on their faces. Hudson announced his presence with two loud gunshots in the room and instantly the two of them let go of the gun, the arm that had been holding the gun was shot, going numb instantly. Before they could register what was going on, another one was shot into each of their legs, forcing them to their knees with a loud scream. Hudson walked towards them, the look on his face showed how pissed he was. They shook with fear immediately they saw
Hudson sat in the garden alone, he was clad on an armless top and a short, he had a lighter in one of his hands, while playing with a cigarette with his other free hand, moving it across his lips, inserting it in and out of his mouth, he seemed lost in space, staring at a blank space, it was evident that he was lost in his thought. He didn’t even notice the approaching footsteps that were behind him. He felt a hand grab his shoulders, he jolted out of his thoughts and turned back as fast as he could. Bethel was staring down at him with a smile on his face, Hudson let out a deep sigh and returned back to his former position, resuming what he was doing before. He inserted the cigarette back into the pack and placed it in between his laps. “Don’t beat yourself up over it, it was nothing, you can’t expect the first thing you take care of to go so smoothly after all, there have got to be challenges also, you can’t expect everything to go your way and your life should be a bed of roses
Alexis walked into her house with a very exhausted expression on her face, she saw her dad and muttered a greeting to him, dragging her feet on the ground as she walked past him. “I take it that you are very exhausted” “Yes, I am extremely exhausted” she responded as she ascended the flight of stairs, climbing it slowly, one step at a time till she finally got to her. She pushed the door open and slammed it shut, locking it immediately, she rested her back on the door and slumped down slowly, the tired expression on her face morphing into a pained expression. She had put on an exhausted look on her face when walking in, only because she doesn’t want to arouse suspicion from her dad which she had successfully done but now that she is in her room, she couldn’t hold up the feeling she had any longer, she buried her face in her palms and let out all the tears she had been fighting back. The incident that had happened at Hudson’s party kept repeating itself in her head over and over ag
"It was canceled again?" Alice asked with a surprised expression on her face, holding a phone in her ear. "Yeah" the person on the other end of the line said. "Oh," the expression on her face morphed immediately into a sad, downcasted and devastated expression on her face. "What was I expecting before?" she let out a soft chuckle, "after all, he had made it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with me" she muttered, totally forgetting that she was on a call. "Ma'am, do you have anything else you want me to help you with?" the person on the other end of the line said with an impatient tone. "Oh" she jolted out of her thoughts. "Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts, I have nothing else to say. Thanks a lot" she chuckled and ended the call, tossing the phone on the table, letting out a tired sigh. "It is all that bastard's fault" she cussed loudly and slammed her hands on the table with a frown plastered on her face. "Damn it" she facepalmed herself with a frustrated look.
