The sound of the phone ringing woke Brian up, and he stretched his hand over the bedside to pick up his phone.“Boss, are you sleeping? "Things have gone out of hand” Brian Secretary panicked.“What do you mean? "What happened, why are you calling this early morning?” Brian, who was still feeling sleepy, couldn't hear the urgency in his secretary’s voice.“We are going bankrupt and the officers are here taking all our files to their station to investigate embezzlement.” She dropped the bombshell.“Wait what?!” He sprang out of bed immediately.“It’s exactly what is happening right now” “Shit, why haven't you called me since?!” He hung up and quickly got out of bed.He didn’t take off his clothes from last night, so he just puts on his shoes and heads out. He slid on a few pages and saw the headline.It’s over for him. Why did he doubt selling Steele’s shares off yesterday? If he had sold it then this wouldn't have happened.Yesterday, when he was on his way to sign the paper document

If he brings them all down at once, it won’t be that fun.Liam walks in and places a document on his table, “Sir, you might have to see this.” Ethan turns his chair back to the table and glances at the file. “Henry is finally showing his true color”, he murmurs.“Should I inform the S.W.A.T about this?” Liam was ready to take order and put things in motion immediately.“No, don’t do anything”, Ethan stopped him.Liam didn’t understand why he said that because he had thought he was doing everything to bring these people down to the ground and this was just going to be like a final blow.“Okay sir” he walks out. It’s an advantage for them to finally wrap it up. “Lea

Ethan walks into a random restaurant and takes his seat, waiting for the waiter to come take his order.He looked around briefly before finally settling his mind down and waved for the waiter to come take his order.He felt like his life had become empty without anything worrying him at that moment except the fact that his mom said she was coming home.Ethan knew his mom very well and thought there must be a reason why she was coming home and she was not telling him.“Good afternoon sir, this is our menu” The young lady smiled at him and showed him the menu.He glances through briefly and picks out a family set for himself. The waiter frowns and thinks of why he will pick it for his order when it’s only him.“Sir, Are you expecting someone else?” “No I’m not”. He raised his eyebrows in confusion as to why she would ask something like that.You picked a family set, she told him, and he glanced through it again.Ethan didn’t know it was a family set, he liked everything included in the

Henry walks into the bank he was once thrown out a few days ago when he tried to secure a loan.The manager rushed up to him and greeted him with respect. “Mr Steele, we are delighted to have you here” He flashed him a smile.Henry felt like scratching the smile off his face at that moment, the same smile he was wearing when he walked in here, giving hope last week.“Delight? "Are you?” he scoffs."Of course we are," he stammered. The manager knew he was here to insult him and boost his success in his face.He was the one that attended to him last week and said the company was hitting rock bottom, so, of course, he would rub it in his face.“Don't worry, you won't be delighted any more soon.” Henry's face was stern, saying those words with a serious tone.“Why sir? Is anything wrong with your account? "Do you have any un-issued debit?” The manager tries to get him to say why he's here.“I'm here to close my account”. Henry drops the bombshell.“What! Why? "We are the best bank, sir, a

Ethan was finally able to get out of the restaurant. He walked down the restaurant street and someone almost hit him with luggage.“Please we are going to pay”, the old woman begged.“When would you pay? "It’s been two years and I think you are starting to take me for a fool” The other old man said, raising his voice at a high pitch.“Please, I’m trying my best to pay up. "If my husband was still alive he would have paid and, you know, we always pay earlier” The woman knelt down begging him, but he refused.“Is that not the reason I left you alone for a year? "Your husband was a good man, but won’t you pay? "It’s been two years, and you still can’t do anything by yourself!” He yelled, snapping his hand from her grip.“Please don’t do this to us. "We have nowhere to go. "I have no family or friends I could call” She started crying while the kids watched their mother struggle with him.“Go and sleep on the street then. "I also need money and if you can’t pay then you should leave and le

Once Zara was out of his presence, a cold expression swept through his face. He immediately pulled out his cell phone as he placed a call to an unknown number.“Close down the store!” His voice was ruthless, as it echoed through the other end of the phone, the receiver knew just what to do.Once the call ended, his attention retired to the driver on the front side of the car. “Drive to Karla Jewelry store”“Yes Sir” he muttered, a response that was barely audible before he steered off the engine and drove right there.But arriving at the store, Ethan was about to step out of the car when an idea crept through his mind. He had always regarded the staff of this store as polite and well-mannered, but then Ethan thought to himself that it might probably be as a result of the fact that he always went there with his convoy and, not to mention, he kept his identity hidden.With that thought that had clouded his mind, he quickly tucked off his jacket and slid into a casual outfit that was us

The entire air seemed to have grown intense the moment Ethan stepped in there, surrounded by a large number of armed guards. Although his face was masked, making it possible for them to see his face or comprehend his identity, they could tell that this was one hell of a powerful man that they should never anger.The manager clasped his hands together as he lowered his head, his palm had become sweaty, and he was barely keeping his legs from trembling.“How dare you all try to assault my sister!” He roared, his voice deep and carrying such an intimidating aura that all the staff present were now afraid of what their fate was going to be with such a strange man.“We apologize, Sir, but I think you have misunderstood the entire situation. We didn't try to assault her, she just went against company policy.”“Policy?” Ethan scoffed, his voice so cold that it sent a shiver down her spine.“I always thought of this store as a very reputable store and yet you judge your customers by their out

Zara tiptoed into Ethan's room and strode to his bedside before bringing out the confetti cannon and popping it right beside him.Ethan’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes went wide open. The sudden brightness makes him shut his eyes back as he sits up.“What the hell is going on?” He glared at Zara for disturbing his peaceful sleep.“Congratulations!” She started clapping her hands and gave him a cup of juice. He collected it reluctantly and they both clicked their glass cup, cheering.“Congratulations on what? "Did you get new deals?” Ethan tried to keep up with the reason for the celebration.Zara takes out her phone and shows him the ranking system. Ethan couldn’t believe his eyes.He took out his phone and checked his account balance. The man had sent him full payment on the deal he signed yesterday.Why would he do that?

“Are you sure you want to reschedule this?” The new business partner asked over the line.Ethan was on the edge, deciding if he wanted to step back or move forward.“I would like to keep my identity hidden, which, of course, I know shouldn't be a problem, right? "If you want to go for someone better, we both know it would be through email signature and the same procedure except you have a reason you choose us in the first place”, Ethan explained.He went silent for a while and Ethan felt he had lost the contract this time around, but it's better to be vigilant about his identity for now.“I will email you, I hope it will be nice doing business with you” He finally said something and Ethan closed his eyes, breathing out his worries.“You won't have a problem with us,” Ethan assured him.“Okay”. With that he hung up.Ethan looked at Liam and wondered why he'd all worked up before. Was he worried we would lose the contract? Each time he acts suspicious it turns out to be nothing.Ethan w

The door burst open and Sophia almost fell from the sudden outburst. “How dare you!” Henry was foaming in anger.“How dare me what?” Sophia acts ignorant when she's aware of what her father is talking about.“You mess with Zara Bennett? Are you crazy? Do you think she's Ethan? That you could use and dumb however you like? The media is blowing up in your favor, and you think it's okay?” Henry couldn't believe how careless his daughter could be.“I didn't do anything! "It's not like I'm the one controlling people to be against here, they just see something better and want it.” She shrugs.“Don’t tell me that! "I know you did this and, trust me, you really don't know what you're doing to yourself. If her family takes this up with us, we will be buried underground like we never exist at all.” Henry feels frustrated about what she did.It's already done and there's nothing I can do about it. Measures have already been taken, but it's not going to end like that.One thing he learned about t
