Ethan was thrilled to see his father approach him with a bottle of white expensive wine. “What are we celebrating , dad?”Smiling from cheek to cheek, the one-time finance tycoon, replied, “What more can a man ask for if not a worthy son that would make him proud. You have made me proud, son. I will never stop appreciating you.”He handed him the bottle.Ethan stole a duchene smile and shrugged. “This must have cost you a lot but you shouldn’t have bothered yourself. I am not done yet, wait for Ethan reloaded then you will know the stuff I am made of.”Ethan stroked the bottle with ounce of appreciation.“You know, when I was very young I told myself when I finally have children I will give them the best and be rich so that when I retire, they can give me the things I can’t afford.”Ethan brooded briefly about those words and wondered. “But what is it you can’t afford, dad. You made money before me, and you are the CEO of Arthur Bank, one of the best financial institutions in New York

The Tony’s were having breakfast. Mrs. Tony had reported Annabel to her husband so Tony deemed it fit to re-educate Annabel about Ethan.“I heard you seeing that riffraff.”Annabel went cold once she heard those words; Ella rolled her eyes at her and sighed. Mrs. Tony hissed and yelled at Annabel to answer the question.“Ethan is a good guy. He is my friends. I see nothing bad about…”“Can you just keep shut!” Tony snapped, his cutlery clanking on the saucer. “This is New York and it is our duty to tell you about who to mingle with and who not to. That boy, Ethan will not only drag you down but will make your condition worse.”She squinted after a brief thought.“But why do you all despise him? What did he do?” she queried, staring at them with rare caution, expecting to get her response from any of them. “He is cute, educated, intelligent. Although he may not be rich but he is average.”“Ethan is the son of a criminal, a money launderer. Ask about Rex Arthur and they will tell you wa

“I am two weeks pregnant. I am carrying our baby,” she mustered once George brushed cheeks with her.George couldn’t believe his ears. He had to blink nervously to get the message. “What did you just say? You are carrying my baby?” he leaned to her belly and placed his ears on it, his smile widening in utter excitement.Tony, his wife and the servants looked on, while Annabel stared from a corner, her smile slightly held, wishing some day she would become the wife of a moneybag. She had been wondering if ever she would have such a story.“What took you so long to tell me?” he queried, his hands cautiously resting on her waist. Some things are best not kept secret.” He locked eyes with her. “I wanted it to be a surprise,” she whispered, drifting into tears as she smiled on, “I waited for the right time to tell you. But glad you know now. We are expecting a baby,” she repeated, and couldn’t believe the excitement that hung in his eyes.Tony leaned to his wife. “I bet you their wedding

Montana’s face etched with a sudden smile as he neared her. Ella became more restless and thought about walking out of the reception.“Happy married life,” Montana whispered and handed her the envelope, his lustful stare still on her drifted face.With trembling hands, she barely could hold onto the envelope. She stole a glance at George who was busy with guests at his spot and she swallowed hard, tucked to corner.At the moment Montana perched by waiting for her to take a look at the content of the envelope.Mrs. Tony noticed what was happening. She knew the presence of Montana wasn’t welcomed, and her daughter was in a deep mess but she held back and kept an eye on them.She tore the envelope, and founded a sizable, pink new G-string and a note that said, LET’S MEET IN THE RESTROOM.Her gaze lit up with scare and uncertainty as she flashed a warning stare at Montana who was still all smiles. A profuse heavy sweat balled on her forehead as she hastily hid the G-string under her weddi

Susan sniffed heavily into her palms. With her red face, she sobbed over the thought of George walking Ella down the aisle. She had been drifted into tears for the past few days.And once her mother barged into the room, she hastily tossed away her face and brightened up and forced a dampened smile, fondling with her fingers.“Hey, girl, the trending news is that of Ethan being bounced out of the club the other night. He came to a club where Coleman was, and the moneybag ordered the security to walk him out. I don’t know when that pauper will realize that he is back to his last toes, and…”She paused and peered at the red face of Susan once her sunken eyes caught her attention.“What is wrong, dear? Have you been all tears? Look at your eyes like that of a vampire.” She sat down pretty damn quick and held her face. “Who rattled your cage?”Unable to overshadow her pain, those tears burned her cheeks again. “I am just unlucky with men, mom. Isn’t it obvious? Look at Ella being walked d
