VOWS OF VENGEANCE Charade
Miranda looked all around for her husband and almost went mad by calling his phone numerous but to her chagrin, he didn't pick up. She had stylishly asked me if they had seen him but everyone kept talking in the negative. She didn't want to believe that he had absconded just the first day of having access to her wealth. This would mean that Cassandra had won and that will be the end of everything that she had been trying to prove to that couple. Ethan, on the other hand, had decided to cross over to the next Street and have his lunch. He didn't want to return to the office where he was not as respected as he would have loved to be. He could read through the lines because he was not stupid and the only way he could exert dominance was to show that he was somebody with or without Miranda. What better way to prove that besides going out on his own and not even touching a dime out of Miranda's card that she had handed with her to him? As soon as he stepped back into the office he saw
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Troubled Camp
Williams was having a hard time getting over the fact that Ethan had not danced to his tune and decided to conduct a private investigation about him. He understood the rule of business as always allowing the best man to win. If he could prove that this man was nothing but an imposter, then he would have the upper hand, and anything he asked him to do would be done deal. Cassandra fumed on her stool as she went on with her makeup. "I don't think you understand the gravity of everything that is happening. I would go out of business if it is proven that they are together. Ethan is a sick businessman and is only going to push Miranda's business forward. I know that they are only in a fake marriage just to spite me. I need to uncover their mess." She said. Williams was tired of her incessant complaints and they were just only two days into the marriage. "You give me a headache with your constant complaints. I understand that you hate them so much but this is not a reason for you to conti
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Tempting Offers. (I)
Ethan was on his way to getting answers that no one was willing to give to him because they were all stingy with it. It was his duty to find a way of always making sure that things went accordingly, especially in the office. The sound of the office telephone had him gritting his teeth angrily, as this was the last thing he wanted for himself, especially on a day like this. He just wanted to go through all of the accounts and see how it was able to rectify them while Miranda granted those interviews that she had discussed with him. He didn't really care for whatever was going to happen, especially on her end, because he was hoping that he could get everything right on track, but right now, things were not looking as favorable as they should. Not knowing exactly what he should say or do, he maintained his cool."Ethan speaking." He barked into the phone in irritation. He didn't want to have to discuss anything other than business with whoever decided to reach out to him. He wanted to
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Tempting Offers (ii)
Ethan had heard so many things in the cause of him being in that company, but nothing prepared him for the shenanigans, which he listened to in just a minute. "You mean Cassandra has been going about tarnishing the image that I stole from her when I was working in her company?" He asked with an annoyed countenance.Cassandra had not said anything, but this was Miranda's way of checking how he was going to react to certain news, especially the ones that tarnished his image. She shrugged carelessly, "I understand that you might be angry that all of this is coming to light especially when you got involved with me." She said, still watching for any movement that would confirm that he was indeed guilty. Ethan, with a clear conscience, smiled, shaking his head in disappointment before looking at her, "What did you think? Do you think it's true? Is that why you are suddenly protective of your company? You can always return to have sole authority, no one needs to know." Miranda was perplexe
VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Step Ahead
Ethan frilled a glance at his assistant as she made the statement, while she placed a stack of files in front of him and flipped one of them open. "What is this," he questioned, running his eyes over the written words on the paper. "Where did you get this from?""I am sorry sir, the assistant said slowly, partly trying to lessen the tension which was beginning to creep into the atmosphere. "These are printouts of the emails I received recently." Ethan drew in a deep breath and leaned on the table, flipping the pages. "I still cannot make sense of this. Where did the sender of this email get a copy of the company's deed?And who is the sender?""I have no idea, boss," the slim, bespectacled lady answered, lowering our voice and averting her gaze to the floor. "I have never received an email from the address before. I did research immediately but I was unable to get the source. They intend to remain anonymous. The person claims to have more shares than you do in stocks and capital.""
VOWS OF VENGEANCE Rehashing The Past
Miranda was many things but she wasn't a woman who forgot what she had promised to do. She didn't see a reason to do it. She was going to go through with it so that her word wasn't void. Ethan was also getting to find out that she was a person of integrity like himself and he made things easier for him. They were supposed to meet up with Williams with her in tow with whatever decision he had made. It was almost like asking her to cut her fingers and toes just to get good answers. He wasn't sure he was going to get the answers that he had longed for but there was no harm in trying either way. "Is there anything you also want to be sorted out before he arrives?" He asked, helping that they could hash out any hiccups that promised to pose themselves.Williams wasn't a soft man so they needed to outwit him at every turn. It might sound stupid but that was the only way to deal with a person who had decided to go ahead to make various inflections about his character online. He had no cho
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Negotiation
Williams’ gazed right into the eyes of whoever wanted to cross him, about to crush them off. In this case, it was Miranda who was toying with him. “You made propaganda against my company and made people begin to see me in a different light. Now you want to talk about the past?” He demanded from her. Miranda seized this opportunity. “Oh yeah, what's good would it be if I can have you here but not talk about your very offense? How do you think that makes me look? Stupid ain't it? I ask a simple question: why did you plan for my demise?” she demanded from him. He wasn't going to go scot-free with everything that had happened. She had a lot to cover up for and they had to happen right away. If she didn't do it, then she was just as pathetic as every other fool she had met. “Do you think this is going to change anything? You have no evidence against me but somehow hope that I'm going to incriminate myself because I decided to grace this meeting? You must be a joker and I am here fo
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The New Phase (I)
So many things were wrong at the same time, but one of the things that remained prominent was the fact that Ethan had refused to grant any interviews, and that caused a lot of speculations to fly around, which he refused to pay attention to. He had better things to do with his time than to go ahead with conversations that added no value to him. Even Miranda had tried to stress the importance of him having interviews with people that she considered to matter a lot to society, but that had not worked for her. Ethan rather buried himself in more work looking for ways to find expression of dealing with these people who called themselves the powers of the industry. Just at his ascent as the CEO of Miranda's company, he had managed to step on many toes which he was unapologetic for. They had to call themselves to order and not him. If they didn't find it reasonable enough for him to be angry at them, then they had another thing coming. Miranda walked into the office with a small smile,

Relinquish
Relinquishing all his control and power to somebody who didn't even care about the company that much but just wanted to see him destroyed made Williams worried for himself. He wasn't going to accept something that was going to bring him problems, neither was he going to accept something that was going to land him in trouble in the future. If he could get Ethan's word that he would be protected forever, then he would never need to worry his head about anything else in the world besides to just keep on relaxing and hoping that he got answers soon. "You shouldn't be so sure of yourself whenever you make decisions or offers, sometimes we might have our plans and they end up turning out to be better than anyone else. If you think I'm lying, why don't you try it out? Tell somebody else to take this offer and watch them flip the script on you." He told Ethan stylishly that he was having various plans up his sleeves. Ethan also wasn't going to just wait and expect that the person he was t
The Salesman (II)
Ethan saw the conflicting look on his opponent's face and figured out that he had already clocked in. He just needed to push a little bit, and this man would fall into his trap, and then it would be a done deal, and everybody would part ways. Then he would have the sole ability to do whatever he wanted and get away with it. Most importantly, Williams wanted to take revenge and that was his opening. "I see you as a man who wants revenge at all costs, but you found no one to trust you or attempt to assist you. Would you allow the fear of me winning to overcome you instead of figuring out how you would be able to do the same? Come on, you, of all people, should be smarter than that." The instructions were clear: Ethan wanted to rule every affair related to Williams, and he had a choice of letting that happen or standing ground and making sure that this didn't continue. "You must think that I am a fool not to understand what you are driving at and how this would work right? It's a
The Salesman (I)
William stamped his foot on the ground, weighing his options. It was a little bit great to start weight but he could already foresee the end of this bargain. "Make me a better offer and I wouldn't hesitate." He demanded, his fingers crossed as he waited for what he had planned to come to pass and then he would be able to deflect every form of tyranny that came with his association with Ethan. Ethan laughed, a little bit perplexed that this man in front of him still didn't understand that he had a lot of ideas on his mind. "Let me break this down to you in case you have suddenly forgotten your current dilemma. You are one of the worst people in the world right now, and everyone is looking for a better way of serving you justice; if I can help you find a way of pleading not guilty, you would have to do everything that I say. It isn't even negotiable." "Yeah, right. I would have believed this if I didn't have other plans up my sleeves. I think you are only trying to take advantage of
The Last Deal
Proceeding out of your hidden zone wasn't the best way to go but Williams had practically no choice at this point. She had been hoping for a break and now that he had the opportunity to learn his hands on it he wasn't there to let it slip off his fingers. “I am heading south. You should catch up with me. I am in a black SUV.” Ethan explained. “Alright, then. I'll be there.”Ethan contacted Jada immediately who had begged him to make him know when her opponent was coming out. “He is already heading my way but I don't want you to do anything yet. He doesn't trust me and we have to ensure that he does, if he keeps on suspecting me what good is that? It is only going to complicate issues and that is the last thing I want.” He reminded her. Jada tapped her feet in anticipation of further destroying Williams reputation. She just needed to get footage that she could spread lies about and also involve Cassandra who was trying to leave now that she realized that she probably might be in a
Kick Offs
Williams looked right and left before he could cross the road just to see if anyone was coming behind him or trying to find out where he was about to move to. Ethan watched him from the car where he sat, wondering how this man intended to break out of prison without going through the normal way of pleading. His phone started to ring and he laughed in wordly. This was the best way to deal with people who felt like they had an idea of how life should work instead he was going to make him realize that things didn't go smoothly all the time. “I can see you already in the restaurant, why don't you walk to the car? You don't want to be caught in an open place, do you?” Williams hung up immediately and looked around trying to figure out where Ethan was watching from. Ethan loved the show of shame because now Williams was going to fear him even without saying a word. Williams, mustering courage, called back just to be sure that he was talking to the right person. “I would love to meet
Stowed Away
“THE HEADLINES: A MAN WAS SEEN TRYING TO BREAK OUT OF PRISON AND WAS CONVICTED. RUMORS SAY THAT IT WAS THE FORMER BUSINESS MOGUL, BUT WE ARE YET TO GET ANY INFORMATION.” Ethan watched the news the next day, with a slight shake of his head. There was absolutely no way it wasn't true because Jada had informed him before then.Miranda came in just in time to see the news flashing on the screen and was a little bit confused. “Don't tell me that it is Williams over there.” She said, taking a seat beside him. “I don't see any reason why he should try to break out when he knows that everyone is already fixated on him and what his next move should be. I don't know why he doesn't want to keep his head low. Does he still want to contact us?” She got on speaking. Ethan wasn't in the mood to indulge her or talk right now because he was trying to figure out William's next move. “According to the news like you have seen, it has not been confirmed so we shouldn't be found talking about something
Locked Away
Williams thought about his previous life and how things suddenly went downhill for him. All of this started when she decided to employ Jada. She was the one who ruined his life to the point where it currently was. There was absolutely no way that he was going to be able to be free from this mess if he didn't stand his ground and make sure that she no longer had power over him. He stroked his beards gently, thinking of how things began. She was the only picture that was coming into his mind and at that point there was absolutely nothing he could do to erase it. It was more of an introspective way of thinking as to why things got destroyed beyond repair and how he had lost in the grand scheme of things. "You shouldn't bother yourself about thinking about the past. It's all the matter of time before things begin to work normally. The moment you are able to take out the fact that you need revenge you will be able to be free." Somebody called through the other side of the prison
A failed Plan. (I)
As much as he wanted to prove to himself that he was more than any one who was trying to help him he also knew that there were a lot of things that needed to be assigned. One of them included acting like he didn't have any choice or hope to be free. All the jobs assigned to him the previous day were done with so much enthusiasm that even the fellow inmates were a little suspicious of his new attitude. It wasn't as easy as he posed it to be but at the same time he also faked an apology to demand he had been engaged in an altercation with. His excuse was that he had a bad day and that was why he went off for a man who had done nothing to hurt him. Williams waited patiently counting his breath as the warden moved around to take roll calls as usual. It ended up in a state of nothingness followed by a large breakdown as the warden stopped in front of his cell, looking at him keenly. "Williams, come out!" He commanded.
Enemy's pardon
Williams stood in front of the ledge his eyes roaming about as he contemplated suicide. There was absolutely nothing for him to live for and the proposition that his enemy had brought up was nothing to write home about. He would rather grovel at the feet of someone he didn't know than to allow Ethan to win him. It wasn't something he had envisaged but, sending him to wash the latrines was not the way to go or leave his life. "Mate, you still think of yourself as high and mighty don't you? Why don't you do something else that helps you out instead of hoping or thinking that you will be able to break out? It's not as easy as it is portrayed in movies!" Someone clapped him at the back and held his hands. He looks at the man who stared at him lewdly. He was up to no good and he wasn't about to become a victim in a place where he should be victorious. "I think that all of you are just perverts looking for ways to fuel your perverseness. I
