The car drove back to the Bennett mansion. Ethan was so exhausted, no doubt that he had forgotten all about the dinner. All he wanted to do at this point was get some sleep. That way, he could return to searching for Sasha.But he was almost startled the moment he stepped in, and his sister Zara was seated on a single couch.“Zara! What are you doing here? I thought you told me that your shoot wouldn't be over until tomorrow or the next?”“Yes, I had to leave. Mom called me on the phone, and she sounded so excited. She told me you were inviting Sasha for a dinner and begged that I be here. I had to take the possible flight that I could, and when I mean possible flight, I mean I had to buy someone off their seat, which was an economy.”She was speaking so fast and while she did, her eyes scanned at the door as if waiting for the next figure to step in.“I am glad that you finally decided to take a bold step to your heart, but where the hell is she?”“She is not here!” he shrugged. He f

Once Ethan had followed Rodrigo to his office, his men all turned to each other. They knew the true reason why they were there and didn't want to hesitate even for a moment.But they didn't want to be suspected, so they remained calm and as soon as Rico's men went ahead with their change of shift, they all dashed out of there, leaving just one of Ethan's men in the room. That way he would keep the camera busy.They did not bother going around searching through every room. Ethan had informed them on time that the place they had to search for was the basement and if she was there, it would be the storage and if they couldn't find her in both places, then they should not bother searching anywhere else.With the instructions given to them, they hurried to the basement knowing that they didn't have lots of time, but as expected, there were two guards standing there.Both men signaled to each other, since they were guarding a basement, they were fully convinced that indeed something had bee

After Max told Sophia about the identity of the one that had paid for their hospital bill, since then, her thoughts had been running wild thinking about the possibility of getting married to a man like Mr. Bennett and becoming the heiress to everything he has.It'd been two days now since their father's surgery, and he was not yet awake. Sophia was starting to lose all the money in her account and, with no job or contract, she knew it was only a matter of time before she went bankrupt and the thought of that was starting to scare her like hell.After several thoughts, she decided to put a call to the Bennett corporation, hoping that she would be able to get through to Mr. Bennett to appreciate him for his help, and she might finally start a relationship between them, but no matter all her efforts, she was asked to book an appointment, stating her official reason she wanted to speak to him.And after several trials, all her efforts were in vain. Just when Sophia felt dejected by the fa

Sophia stood still for a while, staring at the old woman's flare-up at her and once it seemed like the old woman was done speaking, she smiled politely at her.“Mother, you need to calm down. I might have had a bad relationship with your daughter in the past and I understand that must be the reason you seemed so angry, but trust me, it's all sorted out.”“Sorted out?” She asked, Mrs. Bennett was finding it difficult to believe the words she was saying, yet she did not stop staring at Sophia with nothing but disgust and contempt.“Yes, in fact, I know you haven't been informed of it, but Mr. Bennett and I are really close. In fact, we might soon become a couple, which is why I wanted to see you and have some motherly advice from you.”Seeing that she had calmed down, Sophia drifted closer to her and tried to wrap her hands around her. But Mrs. Bennett had forgotten all about her sickness or how weak she was. She raised her hand and slammed Sophia pretty hard in the face.Sophia felt h

Max could not stop tapping on the table anxiously. After the call he received the other day, he was instructed to go to this hotel and was asked to go ahead and order whatever he wanted.While Max was told of the offer over the phone, it sounded too good to be true. He didn't believe that there was anyone ready to give such an offer, but their company was in a fiery situation. He was desperate and if there was any means possible, then he had to try.He had been seated at the hotel counter for a while now and even though he was instructed to go ahead and take whatever he wanted, Max was too anxious to go with the order, for fear that he might not be able to pay just in case the caller didn't show up.But after a while, a man dressed in a black suit with black sunglasses walks up to him and, while acting casual, he whispers to him.“Mr. Steele, come with me right now!” He ordered and started walking out of there, although Max had no idea who he was, but immediately followed him upstairs
