VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Glimpse of Hope
Miranda's face was plastered even on national TV with her words misconstrued and tagged to mean disrespectful and problematic. A lot of netizens had things to say about her behavior to a man of reputation after losing almost half of her assets. "Even if she wants to be mad at him, he doesn't deserve her scathing actions. It has not been proven that he was in any way involved in her kidnap, so why is she trying so much to paint him black?" One person said. "I think that a lot of women have been made to be empowered in a silly form, and all they think about is revenge when they should be happy that someone even takes a look at them." A Rosie Meyer said. Miranda couldn't bear the reproach she was facing from something that she was supposed to emerge as a winner and, most importantly, from women who understood how this works. She rolled her eyes as she kept on watching the news dissect her personal life and asking for proof that her claims were true. "I don't think you should

"Call me bias but I think that you have a fair chance at winning this case. I'm going to take it up with Judge Roberts and watch her handle it with proficiency. If you hand it over to other people I promise you that they would make a mess out of the situation." Barrister Karen made it known to her clients. What Williams didn't know was the fact that she never intended to represent him in any way. She just wanted to waste his time, but now that he was proven to be stubborn, it was better that she dealt with him. She also had an ire against him but used this as a means of getting her revenge. He had killed her youngest sister during a raid. "I don't know what this is about, and I honestly do not think I am interested in finding out what exactly it represents, but... I guess we have to do something else." Ethan said, deciding to give her the benefit of the doubt. Everyone knew that he didn't trust anyone especially to handle such a situation like this. He always felt that people woul
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Minor differences
"Taking my word for law was not going to do you any good, instead it was only going to break the non-existent chains that you had managed to build." Williams said into the press mic when he was invited for a meeting. Even the blind could see that he was referring to Ethan who had not come out to release any statement despite the rumors circulating the blogs. He felt like it was a childish thing to do and coming to do that was only going to reduce whatever he had to say in the first place. He watched the news with an open mind, waiting to see where this was going to lead to and how he would be able to anchor the situation without doing too much. It was better that he wasted some time trying to figure out a few things than jumping into suing Williams without too much evidence. Miranda didn't have such patience, because she felt like this procedure was too slow for her liking. It was going to reduce the reason she ever believed in the judiciary system in the first place and now that
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Split
The next stride into the office was dramatic. Everyone looked right and left waiting for an exposure, especially a clash of powers as they had heard. It wasn't news that anyone that didn't dance to Williams tune was always handed the shorter end of the stick but no one saw this play out with Ethan. In fact the silence had even caused more uproar than anything else in the world and this had most of them trembling and hoping that this was all they could get. It was as pathetic as anyone could think of because how the mighty had fallen was a huge talk of the town and except the people who wanted to pretend like they had not heard the news, everyone was busy talking about it. Williams also knew that the world was waiting for his return but he also wanted to shock them by being as mature as he could. If he kept on giving them audiences he was going to lose his relevance sooner or later and that would discredit everything he ever had to say. Cassandra had also decided to cut ties with h
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Rumours And Lies
Ethan was just walking into the house as the sun began to set. The house was a little dim; in that dimness, he could see Miranda stretching on the sofa completely out of it while going through some papers."You are home early today; of course, everything is alright?" spoken Miranda, without ever bothering to get her head out of the paperwork she was going through."Yeah, just because I'm home earlier doesn't mean something is wrong Miranda," Ethan almost growled while walking to her. "In fact, we are going to have a date tonight,""Dare I say we have a date tonight?" she inquired as she slowly raised her head."Yes, so hurry! And don't fall asleep in the room or we won't make it," "A total prick," spat out Miranda, followed by some vague gestures.Ethan turned to Miranda as they cruised off to the event. "I can't wait for our date tonight," before flashing her a smile."And I, too," replied Miranda as she tucked away a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "It's been a while since we
VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Sudden Change of heart
Ethan and Miranda reached home, having felt peace after work because of the event night. The lights inside were dim, and it felt like almost a quiet oasis compared to the noise and gossip outside it. Miranda smiled while she untied the shoelaces on her shoes and set her purse down on the counter."This feels good," she said with a contented sigh.Ethan smiled, pouring them both glasses of champagne. "To us," he conveyed through the glass he handed her. "To getting through another day."Miranda took the glass and attached it to his in a faint clink. "And to the future. It's looking brighter."They sat cozily on the couch, drinking from their glasses as morsels of cookies that Miranda had baked earlier that day pervaded the air. There was soothing music playing in the background, adding to the ambience. Ethan stretched his legs and watched while Miranda danced lightly out into the open. Her beauty swayed him, and she looked blissful dancing so gracefully in the moment. That made it all
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Truth Hurt
Miranda arrived at Williams' home, a large place well cared for. The dark rectangular windows were staring at her. The silence about the atmosphere felt ominous. She had come to a decision. He will have to face her today.Her heels sounded upon her ascent down the pavement and a murmur lifted into her ears. She took in an unsteady breath at the tumbler of anxiety that was buzzing in her chest. Ready for him. What was on his mind? After all of that fuss about the blueprint, she wanted to know. He had to pay for everything he robbed from their company.Knock, knock went her hand, steady but for the storm inside her. One of Williams' employees opened the door after some time. He stood aside for her to pass, without uttering a word. Miranda thanked him and walked in.Inside was quiet. That almost eerie stillness was now making her uncomfortable. Feet padded against the thick carpet as she walked down the long corridor, almost soundless on her way toward the knock on one of the office door
VOWS OF VENGEANCE In the Neck of time
The tension in the room was electric as Miranda stood there, arms crossed, thoroughly cold in the present battle of wills against Williams. With an air charged with rage, every word counted against one another as it set off the powder keg of combustible emotions. Williams's eyes were dark with fury, and Miranda had finished holding it in."Do you really think I'm gonna sit here and listen to you defend him? Ethan? Really?" A sarcastic mockery from Williams.Miranda drew a big breath, solidifying her voice against the storm inside. "Yes, I am going to defend him. This is another good man, Ethan. Principled. You, on the other hand, have none." Williams scoffed, shaking his head as if he could not believe what he had just heard. "Principled? Is that what you're calling him? This failed man in every aspect of his life? You can't be serious, Miranda. Get a life.""Wasting my time? Not even a bit," he came back quick, and her tone sharpened. "He is so much more of a man than you will ever

Regrets
Misha ran back into the restaurant, rushing towards Ethan because she could also feel that she was the reason why this gunshot had been released into the air. It was too great to be a coincidence when she knew how she had left things. Someone was trying to kill her and that person didn't care about how she felt at all. The security guards quickly locked the door to safeguard everyone who was inside and Ethan decided to make a great decision that would not harm anyone but keep him away from more problems. "Why don't we go into the other VIP section so that it would be harder to access us?" He suggested as people kept on screaming and running when they saw them doing the same thing. He couldn't even act pissed because he truly was and was only trying to stop himself from getting more angry at this people who were making a mess out of the situation. He would have preferred it if everyone just kept quiet and watched on instead of shouting and making noise that could have been avoided
Flirting skills
The deal was sealed and Ethan smiled after shaking hands with the secretary. He wasn't going to use her for any malicious work because he wanted the bond to be fostered with trust and unity but he needed a strong man on his side. "Mr. Finn frequency Lucy's bar every Friday and I think it will be pretty nice if you frequented the same place. I believe that he is not going to turn you away especially when he realizes how truthful that you are." The Secretary, Misha spoke, She was a bit worried that he might not fulfill his end of the bargain, so she didn't want to get involved fully and wanted to see what gains he had up his sleeves so that she could make her decision from that. "No way, I was thinking of other things, and now you have made it absolutely clear to me that you are not going to be involved in this, which I kind of respect," Ethan said, assuming a flirting tone so that he could penetrate her hard exterior. She looked like she wasn't going to budge even though he had pro
Poaching
Theatrics wasn't something that Ethan wanted in his life, and that was why he went on to keep watching, just to understand what exactly could be done to be the man who had made it his life's mission to go ahead and disturb whatever he could find of his. Getting a lot of people to send death threats to him wasn't going to stop his mission from being accomplished and it was only a matter of time before he made a way out of this. No one had the right to make him feel a certain way unless he wanted to. It was going to be pretty hard for anyone to comprehend the way he operated because he took different routes daily just to confuse people like Williams. A muscle ticked in his jaw while he scanned through the paperwork. Nuisance. He thought. Miranda had done a poor job at reconciling all the accounts because now he was supposed to have a proper record instead of this nonsense that was showing up. The next thing that he did was to continue working as though it didn't matter. He would al
Negative Allies
Early morning visitors were always the best to deal with especially when it comes to wasting some time, because they helped in awakening you before heading over to work. Ethan was surprised to see this man standing in front of his door with a file especially when he had moved from his previous home to the new one so that he could oversee everything going on in the company. Damien felt bad that he was throwing his former boss under the bus but that was not going to stop him from saying his truth because this man now had forgotten what it meant to be available and loyal at the same time. Ethan moved towards him because he intentionally didn't wake Miranda after staying up for so long the previous night. It wouldn't make any sense to do that so he wanted a level of calmness before pitching anything to her The only thing that could make her listen to him right now was if it was monetary. There was absolutely no need for him to stress her out. "Damien, I have seen you in mutual meetin
Rebuild
Ethan's welcome party was a huge one because everyone wanted to get to understand why he was acting all cold and didn't even look into anyone's eyes pretending like they didn't exist. It would have made a lot of sense if most of them had taken up the offer but now they refused and were suffering from it. He and Miranda had their fights behind closed doors, but before the world,, they were a formidable pair that no one dared to cross.He whispered into Miranda's ears as the camera scheme closer just to prove that they were very close and that it would make a little sense for others to keep their tongue away from them. "This is the only place where we have to go deep as probably sharing a few kisses just to prove to people that we are the best bunch. It doesn't really mean anything to me, and I believe it's the same with you." He asked her. She didn't respond. Instead, she kept on watching ahead as the reporters came near. "This is the official launch of your company how do you fee
Sabotaging
Williams had enough of beating around the bush and he decided that the next time he was going to be involved in such discussions he would not waste anytime but to put this guys under the bus. "You have made the rounds a few times and everyone has never believed you why do you think this is going to change now?" The reporter asked him when he came into the studio because quite frankly she was getting tired of his appearances and making sure that people saw him in the best light.She kind of knew that the people who came to cry wolf most times didn't even have anything attached to their name such as integrity. More evidences have been leaked to the press that he was involved in some illegal businesses not limited to human trafficking but people were still digging deep before accusing such a reputable businessman at least that was what they knew him as. "I think that question is too direct and you are only doing this to satisfy your curiosity instead of being truly involved in this ca

At some point, I felt selfish. I was literally putting Silvia's life on the line because I know he'd surely come for her after everything's going to be leaked.
