As soon as Ethan drove away with Mason, Erin let out a soft laugh. However, it slowly turned into a vicious one, resounding in the air like a witch just descended from hell. She liked the worry etched in his eyes even though he tried to hide it. And what's more, he was being attacked and didn't even know where it was coming from.Just two more days. Two more days and everything would be completely over for him. Quickly, she tapped on her phone, putting a call through to Genie.“Hello, ma’am.” She smiled. “Should I meet you at the mansion?”Genie immediately agreed and quickly sent a car over to pick her up.Arriving at Genie’s mansion was always bliss, after all, she liked the grandeur of the whole house. And soon, she was led to an inner part of the mansion but darkness started to shroud her path. She stopped, turning to the attendant leading her in. “Are you sure the madam is here?”“Of course. She has been waiting for you.”At this point, Erin had no choice but to follow after

As soon as Erin ran out of the quiet estate, she hailed a cab, going straight to Sky Avenue where her family lived. All through the ride, she had tears in her eyes while cursing at Ethan.“It’s all your fault, you bastard!” She screamed, while slamming her fists on the headrest before her. She never cared if the cab driver was looking at her. All she could think of was how she was going to stab Ethan a hundred times over. However, she couldn’t bring herself to do it and that was why she ran out of Genie’s mansion, hoping she could escape.When she finally got back home, she rushed in, checking for her parents and her siblings, and the minute she realized they were fine, she slumped on the couch while breathing hard. “Are you okay, Erin?”Her mother’s worried voice reached her, and a lone tear streamed down her face. Though her family had the power to protect themselves, she knew they weren't as powerful as Genie.“I am fine...” She whispered. “Please, go back to sleep. I will stay

Mason quickly ushered Chairman Davins into the car while he stood guard outside. He had no trust in the old man, and he knew his presence could either put Ethan at a risk or there was something fishy cooking. And back in the car, Ethan’s face was cold as ice while he stared out of the window.“You have five minutes.”“Thank you…” Chairman Davins nodded, while clutching the hem of his clothes. His lips quivered, with his eyes darting around and looking beyond the open parking lot.Ethan noticed every single thing. His movements, his quivering lips, and how he had changed in just a few days. He didn't look like the dignified man he used to be.However, he didn't care as he spoke up, “Three minutes left, old man.”Chairman Davins immediately perked up, knowing this was his only chance at saving.“Save my daughter, please.” He pleaded as his eyes blurred with hot tears. “Aria is in danger.”“What do you mean?”“I will tell you everything…” He whispered. “Everything I did to you, rejectin

The night had been intense, as Ethan never left the bed as Jenna clung to him like vines. And as he walked out of the shower, with a flimsy towel around his body while the sky turned bright, she smiled.There was a flash of pride, possession, and desire in her eyes. Ethan knew that look all too well, knowing she would want to have him to herself.“After the wedding, Jenna, when everything is done. I would like to tell you something important.”“What’s that?” She perked up immediately, eyes twinkling like a girl utterly in love. He realized the sooner he told her she couldn’t have him to herself, the better. But then, he decided to test the waters a bit, “You have to wait until I am done with everything. Also, you can bring your friends along for a party.”“Ohh…” She raised a brow. “What kind of party? Do they need to be there?”She was opposing, as her brows creased with obvious dislike toward his words. “Yes, it’s a small party, just to let us unwind. Moreover, you agreed to have

Ethan sat in his car, tapping on his thighs as Erin’s words rang again and again in his ears. He realized Genie had planned this so well and if everything went well for her, it would be the best wedding present.“Can you really trust what she says?” Mason glanced at his boss with doubts in his eyes.“Do you think she would agree to kill you? Is she capable?”Ethan let out a light chuckle, “Do you think someone who chooses to betray me wouldn’t kill me? She harbors so much resentment toward me and even after this crisis passes, I don’t think I should keep her alive.”“So, are you going to kill her?” Mason’s fingers tightened around the wheel.“Of course not…” Ethan chuckled. “I can’t stain my hands with her filthy blood. We will have someone else do it…”He curled into a sly smile, as he clicked his fingers, “All we have to do now is to begin the plan…”As soon as they got back to the hotel, they staged a murder scene. Fake blood pooled on the floor, and Ethan lay within with a fake kn
