Josh stood in the midst of his gang, dressed in black tuxedo and hat and all-masked with rifles held out.“It’s an honor to have you all in my midst tonight. Jack had informed us about our next destination. George, a loyalist to Ethan is going to be our next target.”“As the don pleases,” the gang replied and Jack tossed his head in agreement.A day before now he had been monitoring George and the expensive lifestyle he held. Robbing him wouldn’t only earn them enough money also Jack had made secret plans to get him killed.Jack had accepted the fact that since Ethan was untouchable, he would start by harming all his loyalists and he would stop at nothing until he avenged his evil motives on Ethan.“Jack!” Josh called, “I hope everything has been put in place. We want a smooth operation. What about his guards? Are they going to cause any form of nuisance?”Jack bowed. “Not at all, don,” he concurred. “George’s guards are a piece of cake. If we can get to him tonight, we have enough to

The warm food in her mouth chilled like ice and she felt her belly knot with a rare churning.“OK… OK,” she fought hard to compose herself.And on the side of Ethan, he intentionally made a false story just to see what her reaction would be, but the woman staring at him was all smiles, despite not knowing what was ongoing in her mind.”“So what led to her condition? I wonder why a woman would exist without a womb. Did she have an accident or any tragedy? I can’t believe that,”Ethan shrugged. “I still can’t believe that. Just that he is nagging to me, just to seek my opinion, you know since I am his boss perhaps I could tell him what to do. Now I want to ask, is it possible for a woman not to have a woman and still hide it from her husband?”She chuckled, her heart melting and dropping as wax into her belly as she fought on. “Well, I don’t think so. For a woman that loves a man wouldn’t hide anything from that man.” She chuckled harder, “So what advise do you have for your friend?Eth

Annabel widened her gaze at the papers, about five of them bearing the headline: Ethan’s barren wife actually without a womb.Her heart sank into her belly, a hard churning tingeing her belly.“What’s this, honey? Where did you get these papers from?” the saliva in her mouth turned bitter. She blinked over a million times just to muster a pretentious look. “Who wrote this shit.”“I don’t know, this is the highest ridicule of my life!” Ethan railed, “What are you not telling me. How come some stranger knows you don’t have a womb? What is it that a stranger knows that I know? This is madness.”“Come on, honey,” she gasped, her tone gentle and mild enough to melt Ethan. She grabbed his hand, “Can you please listen to me. Perk up. It’s not all about me but you. Have you forgotten you have got rivals, and enemies?”Ethan stroked his hair confusedly. “Susan mentioned, it, and now this,”Ethan intentionally left Ella out of it, since she was still alive and obviously Ella could be confronted

“I am ruined. I am finished!” Annabel wailed at the top of her voice as she approached Ella , who was smoking hard in her sitting room, “the cat is let out of the basket. Ethan has finally know about my wombless state…”Ella let a pretentious frown. “How the hell did he know about the secret, or did you finally confess to him?”Sniffing heavily, Annabel shook with every ounce of regret and bitterness; she barely could open her lips properly and utter a word. “I don’t know who did this to me. Someone somewhere wrote about it in the paper and it went viral. Ethan got hold of the paper and became furious. And…”She broke down in tears, shaking heavily.“And what? Talk to me!” Ella snapped, trying to bring her to order. “And what happened?”“He demanded we go for a medical checkup, I guess you know how the hell it would be if we should go to the hospital. I just couldn’t do that. I had to open up. Oh Ella, please I need you to beg him on my behalf, or your mother can do that please, I do

Annabel’s heels clicked into the sitting room to meet Ella well-seated, cuddling her twin babies while the servants attended to other chores. Ella ordered them to leave so she could discuss with her cousin.“How did it go?” she anxiously asked Annabel , whose face was flushed with sarcasm, “Were you able to secure the divorce and have you presented it?”Hesitant, Annabel tossed her head. “I did and I have given it to the motherfucker. He was shocked to see me propose a divorce. Obviously Ethan had taken me for a fool all these years. Perhaps he didn’t know I am aware he cheated on me several times…”“Oh come on,” Ella sighed and took out her phone and opened to some photos, “I have been hiding this from you because I don’t want to crash your marriage. “Annabel tilted closer, “This is a photo of Ethan fucking one of his mistresses. “Yes, my spy took a photo of them and sent to me.”Annabel gaped, her mouth wide enough to swallow Ella. Ruffled, her belly churned. “I knew it, pussy boy I
