Vengeful Heir: The Rise of Ethan Bennett Chapter Thirty Three
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? The payment he was expecting was part payment.“I didn’t come here to show you this just so I would be busy on your phone” Zara snapped the phone off from his h

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

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

Ethan stood awkwardly by the wall, Henry's sarcastic voice cutting through the room."Hey, Ethan, you forgot to shine my shoes again."The laughter around the table erupted, but Henry didn’t even glance his way.“How am I supposed to enjoy my birthday if you can’t even do the basics?”Ethan forced a smile, though it felt tight and uncomfortable. "Sorry, Henry. I didn’t realize."Helen, his mother-in-law, chimed in, sipping her wine with a superior smirk."Honestly, Ethan, how Sophia puts up with you is beyond me. You’ve been in this family for two years, and still, you can’t manage to do anything right."Max seized the moment, not missing the chance to take his usual shot at Ethan."She must be a saint. I mean, being married to someone who can’t even hold down a decent job? No offense, Ethan, but what is it you do again? Oh, that’s right… nothing."Heat crept up Ethan's face, and his hands clenched at his sides. No matter how hard he tried, he always felt like the outsider, the one wh
Vengeful Heir: The Rise of Ethan Bennett Chapter Two
Ethan kept walking, ignoring the muffled insults that followed him out the door. His body moved on autopilot.A sleek black car pulled up to the curb, and his driver, James, stepped out, holding the door open. Ethan slid into the backseat, staring blankly out the window as James closed the door and walked around to the driver's side.As the car began to move, silence filled the space. Ethan couldn’t bring himself to speak. His mind kept replaying the scene over and over again, Sophia’s cold words, Brian’s smug face, Max's insults. Zara had been right. He never should have hidden his identity.James glanced at him through the rearview mirror, his brow furrowed. "Everything alright, sir?"Ethan didn’t look at him. His gaze remained fixed on the passing streetlights, his voice flat. "I’m fine."James hesitated, clearly not believing him. "If you don’t mind me saying, you don't look fine. Did something happen?"Ethan let out a breath, shaking his head and held in his hurt and emotion. "It
Vengeful Heir: The Rise of Ethan Bennett Chapter Three
Ethan stepped out of the car, his clothes still simple and ragged from the night before. The early morning air was cool against his skin, but it did nothing to ease the weight in his chest.As he approached the Steele family’s estate, the mocking laughter from the night before echoed in his ears, reminding him of the insults he had endured. His heart raced, a mixture of anger and resolve pulsing through him.Sophia’s family was already seated in the living room when he entered. Henry Steele, his father in law, was the first to speak, his voice dripping with condescension."Ethan, you finally decided to show up. You’re lucky we’re even giving you the time of day after everything."Ethan said nothing, his face impassive as he sat down across from them. Sophia barely looked at him, her posture rigid and cold. Max, her brother, leaned back in his chair, a smirk on his face, clearly enjoying the moment.Sophia pushed the divorce papers toward him without a word. Her hand was steady, her ex
Vengeful Heir: The Rise of Ethan Bennett Chapter Four
Ethan drove through the winding mountain roads, leaving the city far behind. The tall buildings and suffocating reminders of his past shrank into the distance as the fresh air of the countryside filled his lungs. The weight of his recent days in the Steele household seemed to lighten with every mile he put between himself and them. He didn’t look back. He didn’t need to.The remote cabin he had booked sat nestled in the mountains, away from the prying eyes and judgmental whispers of those who had belittled him. When he arrived, the peace of the place felt almost foreign to him. He hadn’t experienced true quiet in so long. The absence of noise allowed his thoughts to catch up, to settle in the stillness.As he unpacked his bag and surveyed the rustic interior, he felt a strange sense of relief. Here, there were no reminders of Sophia’s betrayal, no cruel laughter from her family. It was just him, the mountains, and the quiet. For the first time in months, he allowed himself to take a d

“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

Chapter Twenty Eight
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
