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.

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
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Humble Agreement
Ethan's hands trembled as he walked toward Cassandra Paige's office. The salary deduction notice had arrived that morning—another blow he couldn't afford. Missing the monthly quota meant his already meager paycheck would shrink further, and with his mounting debts, he had no idea how he'd make it through the month.He knocked on the heavy oak door, his heart pounding. A cold "Enter" was all he got in response.Cassandra Paige sat behind her massive desk, not bothering to look up from her tablet as he entered. The morning light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows cast her in sharp relief—expensive suit, perfect posture, an air of dismissive authority that made the spacious office feel suffocating."Ms. Paige, about the salary deduction—" Ethan began, fighting to keep his voice steady."You failed to meet your quota," she cut him off, still not looking up. "The deduction stands.""Please, I can explain—""Your explanation won't change the numbers, Mr. Moore." She finall
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Cold Reception
However, Ethan looked at the big house one last time before getting into his car. The thought of saying no to Cassandra Paige was all he could think about. But he was trapped, she was his boss and it was either he said yes or got sacked the following day. He was lost in thought as he drove back to his modest apartment. Everything about Cassandra Paige’s world was different—polished, calculated, and cold. He wondered if he would ever fit into that life. The next day, Ethan received a text from Cassandra. It was short and precise: “We’ll make the announcement tomorrow. Wear something appropriate. No arguments.” Ethan sighed. He had agreed to this arrangement, but Cassandra’s tone already grated on him. She hadn’t bothered to ask if he was ready or comfortable. This wasn’t a partnership; it was a command. He went through his closet, eventually settling on the best suit he owned. It was slightly outdated and worn, but it would have to do. The next evening, Ethan found himself s
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Chains That Binds
The house felt suffocated but the idea of him living in the Paige’s family house was more than suffocating for Ethan. He couldn’t move freely in the house without the servants taking down at him. He felt more like a slave in his own house. But it was comforting with the contract he had signed. Ethan knew it was just a year, and it was only a matter of time before it lapsed. He didn’t understand why Cassandra had orchestrated the marriage anyway. All he knew was that he was picked out of many men who were in the company. Ethan was given a post in the organization just to make him look good. Everyone knows that the list meant nothing as Ethan would just sit down ideally without doing anything. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. He has had a long day, and he needed all the rest. The door to his room opened gently. He looked at the time and looked back at Cassandra, who was putting on a beautiful velvet gown. He watched her as she took off her clothes. His eyes darted towards
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Weight Of Pretense
Ethan looked at Cassandra, and his face went pale. “Slow down, Father.” She said, staring at Ethan. She could see that he was scared. “Can we have a moment to ourselves?” Cassandra looked at her father and then at her mother. “Sure. But don’t forget we have an appointment. Don’t keep us waiting.” Tiffany looked at her daughter before they walked away. Ethan couldn’t hold it anymore. He was like a time bomb waiting to blow up. “What was that?” He looked at Cassandra. “This wasn’t part of the contract, was it?” “Can you keep your voice down?” Cassandra looked at his face. It was evident that she was scared. “Keep my voice down? Did you even listen to yourself? What happened to my bills? Don’t tell me you cut me off simply because I voiced my opinion last night.” Cassandra looked at her feet like some spoiled brat. “Oh my god!. I can’t believe you would do this to me.” Ethan said he was getting fed up already. “It is bad that you and your family humiliate me whenever you feel lik
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Shattered foundation
Everything happened so fast. Both lay on the bed, breathing heavily. Ethan looked beside him to see that Cassandra was fast asleep. He gently got up with a white bedspread around him and walked into the bathroom to have his bath. He looked at her once and again before he drifted into a long sleep. [THE NEXT DAY] The loud noise of Cassandra woke him up. “What did you do to me?” She asked with anger. Ethan yawned; he felt so tired, but the lash he received on his back sent an electric jolt to his brain. He opened his eyes in a hurry. “What is it, Cassandra?” Ethan looked at her. “Are you seriously asking me that?” Cassandra said, fuming in anger. She opened the bedspread again and saw she was naked. “Did we?” She looked at him anxiously.“Are you asking if we had sex?” Ethan asked, not sure of what to tell her. “You know what I mean, Ethan, and don't you play dumb with me!” “You got home yesterday and you were drunk. You asked for this,“ Ethan said immediately trying to defend hims
VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Stranger's proposition
The beeping sound of the machine was the first thing Ethan heard as his eyes fluttered open. The blinding white light of the hospital room made him squint, and a dull pain throbbed through his body. He tried to move, but his limbs felt like lead.A nurse leaned over him, her expression a mix of relief and caution. "You're awake," she said softly. "You’ve been unconscious for two days.""Two... days?" Ethan croaked, his throat dry as sandpaper. He winced as he attempted to sit up, only to feel a sharp pain shoot through his ribs. "What happened?""You were hit by a car," the nurse explained, adjusting the IV line in his arm. "The driver brought you here. You’re lucky to be alive."Ethan's memory was hazy. He vaguely recalled the rain, the blinding headlights, and the sensation of his body hitting the pavement. "Who brought me in?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.The nurse hesitated. "She’s still here, waiting outside. Do you want me to call her in?"Ethan nodded weakly, uns

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

Chapter 91I trust Silvia to do just as I've told her to. All I was expecting at the moment was just results, results of the strings I was going to pull, something he'd never recover from. 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. I should have tried another alternative. It just occurred to me. I gnashed my teeth in regret.
