A new morning arrived faster than expected, one that Ethan wasn’t so pleased about, because the time moving fast means that he had to return Axel to her house, and doing so means that their time together had to end that instant. As much as Ethan would have loved to convince her to stay, he chose against it because he knew how much she loved her work and didn’t know how it would feel if he told her to abandon her work just to spend more time with him. “Ah, an unfortunate incident, really,” he said, picking the already brewed cup of coffee off the counter in the kitchen, and then he turned around to lean on the counter, taking a sip from the hot cup of coffee. He shook his head, trying to shake off the thoughts that had intruded at that moment. Every single action he did this morning reminds him of the previous night. “I wonder what it is that is making you so lost in thought that you are not noticing me standing in front of your kitchen door.” Ethan heard the voice low and quite fa

Jamie occupied the swivel chair behind his desk, staring at the two men sitting in front of him, they were all in his office in Nexus Air. His initial plan was not to attend the office that day, but not after the threat that had been dished out to him by the chairman whose face he doesn’t know about till now. “We have the plan, now our only issue is how to execute it and also how to get to the chairman.” Gerald pointed out the obvious, which was the reason why they were all in that office. “I am down for anything, as long as it doesn’t involve me getting kicked and knocked out by our chairman just like Gerald,” Robert added, with a cock of his head towards Gerald, who was already staring daggers at him. “Does that have to be mentioned at all?” Gerald questioned, fuming with anger, the anger was an act, of course. There is no way he would get offended over something like that for real as long as it is coming from his friend or his partner-in-crime or one of them at least. “It had t

For a moment Jamie froze, staring at the caller ID on his phone, but just like he was pulled into reality once again, he blinked, rubbing a hand over his face before answering the phone call, and with a gentle exhale he placed the phone on his ear. “Is there a problem?” Paul's voice was pretty evident over the phone, with urgency coating his tone. “You are definitely not busy, so why the delay…Jamie?”The former rose from his chair in the office, striding towards the window. “Umm, I'm sorry, but lately I've been preoccupied with some things.”“Thought you knew about it,” he added, his lips flattening into a thin line. Paul just shook his head on the other end of the phone. “Whatever. After all that's not why I called.” “Is there something I should be worried about?” Jamie asked with curiosity in his tone, slowly making its way to his eyes. “The recent goods you smuggled out,” Paul paused for a while, the silence becoming deafening, but Jamie understood that anyone at the headquart

Ethan pulled out his laptop after dropping the call with Jamie. It hadn’t gone as well as he would have loved, but at least he was able to gain something.There are really bigger fish involved in this, just as he had thought. The sound of the keyboard clicking fast as his fingers descended on it filled his study room. He logged into the Nexus Global headquarters portal, scrolling through the list of workers. He searched for those involved with Nexus Air, whether directly or indirectly. Taking a deep breath, he pulled back from his laptop to stare at those involved. There are quite a lot. It was going to take him a lot of time to be able to investigate a lot of them and get to whoever might be the superior that Jamie was talking about. Just then, his phone buzzed, pulling his attention from the screen of his laptop. He turned to stare at it. The number that was calling him, he recognised the last few digits, it belonged to Jamie. “Ah, seems like he is desperate too, huh?” Ethan mu

‘Angering the Cole family, I told those fools that it will really be a bad decision’, Romanov muttered to himself inwardly. All three brothers before him had discarded their calm expression and had made their displeasure towards the news known through the faint lines that appeared on their foreheads. “I think I need to rephrase the words that I said, reduce your killing intent,” Romanov pleaded. The fear of what these men could do in anger was enough to make his heart race. “Then rephrase those words, and I warn you to be careful from this moment forward. The four corners of this room will not save you from my fury if you dare provoke it,” Alexander warnedRomanov nodded his head in agreement, a sentence made its way to the tip of his tongue, but he was quick to shove it back into the depths of his stomach. He had done enough crossing of a line already. Any more steps forward and that might just mean the end of him. “If you are to be pissed at someone, I don’t think it should be m
