“I see you have been warned about me…” The caller retorted after a while, giving Ethan a quick response to his question.“I hope Alden told you lovely things about. I am an angel, you know?” Zane’s voice reeked of so much sarcasm, causing Ethan to grunt.“What do you want, Zane?” He asked, causing Alden to gasp.“Is that…” Alden attempted to break his silence, but that seemed like the hardest thing for him to do at that moment.His breath had been seized, and his eyes looked like they were seeing double while he tried to maintain his balance.“Is that Zane?” He finally found his words, but before he could get to speak again, Ethan had already broken his silence, interrupting him in the process.“I asked you a question, Zane…” His tone lacked the fear that Alden had expected to hear, his eyes burning with impatience and annoyance.“What do you want?” Ethan asked again, his eyes still glowing with impatience.“You…” Zane gave him a response after a while, taking a deep breath.“I want y

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURMr Sly got into the black jeep and the policeman who opened the door for him, closed it behind him and entered one of the white cars parked in front.Gradually, the three cars reversed almost at once and left the Lena residence.Ethan remained calm while in the car with the two policemen seated beside him with their guns fitted tightly in their hands. He didn’t want to say a word but only thought about the best way to handle the situation.“I bet you can’t speak now yeah? You bloody thief.”“He dared to lay his filthy hands on the Chief’s daughter. He is in for a lot of trouble.” The policeman by Ethan’s right said right after his partner had spoken and they giggled in anticipation to whatever they felt was going to happen to Ethan.“Why are you so quiet huh? Did the cat cut your tongue?” Asked the policeman with his right hand and seeing that Ethan chose not to say any word, he tapped his shoulder but still he was not responsive.“Don’t worry about the criminal W

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX “Oh really? What do you take us for? Some fools or what?” Mr Sly said with a smirk but Ethan didn’t respond to him. He only kept on smiling and stood at a spot.“There is no way this belongs to you. You are some wretched leech who found himself lucky enough to lure yourself into the bed of a girl from a rich home.” Mr Sly sniggered but as much as his words slightly got to Ethan he chose not to say any words in response.“This is all I need to lock you up. By the time we get the owner of the card to confirm that his card is missing and get him to testify against you, I promise that your life will be over.” Mr Sly said again with a broad smile extending across his face towards his jawline. The two policemen standing at different corners nodded with similar smiles following what he said.The Chief of police looked at the card thoroughly, turning it over and over again to get the details.“Hmm. This is a unique card. I bet it belongs to a very rich and powerful perso

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT All the ears in the room expanded to hear what Ethan was going to say, and even their eyes bulged out of their sockets in the widest curiosity. It was expectation for some while it was anxiety for the rest.Ethan paused and created more suspense amidst the tension that already exuded from his aura. Mr Sly’s face turned pale from the tension in his body.“You know what they say about Karma Mr Sly?” Ethan said, then he turned to look at the Chief of Police who was seated on the hot seat with his hands shaking uncontrollably. Obviously, he didn’t have an answer to the question the young man asked him.“Right, I will answer that for you. They say karma is real and I absolutely concur. Don’t you think so?”Mr Sly looked at Ethan, not sure if he was to respond to the question, but even if he wanted to, the frozen state of his body wouldn’t have let him. Of course, he knew that no matter what he said, nothing was going to change his fate.“Anyways Mr Sly, it doesn’t re

CHAPTER FORTY“What?”Hena was the first to speak as she came out of the house through the door. The rest of the people standing very close to her raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes to be sure that what they heard was what the Chief of Police said. Naya twitched her eyes severally to see if her father was actually serious or if she was hallucinating but Mr Sly didn’t budge.“Dad? Is this some kind of joke?” Naya asked with a low tone as she stared at her father who bent his face almost immediately avoiding his daughter’s eyes.Logan could have sworn that the Chief of Police was playing some kind of prank, but he had always known him to be a serious-minded person who had no time for silly jokes. He looked at him carefully for the second time and found himself just as confused as his wife.“Dad? Say something.” Naya said again with a shaky voice as she watched her father stand both motionless and speechless at the same time.“Mr Carson this is really some kind of expensive jok
