“Car hire?” the man retorted, heaving an investigative gaze at Jack once again , wondering what could be stirring him to go for a car hire, “Hiring a car for twenty four hours is baseless especially when the owner has purchased it.”There was no stopping Jack. “Yes the owner may have purchased it but I am just hiring it for just tomorrow so he won’t notice it. I just need the car to attend an occasion.” Promptly he dug into his jacket and brought wads of bills, “I guess this will be enough for the troubles. This is 300 thousand dollars.”The man winced. “To hire an Aston Martins Valkyrie?” the man shot an offensive frown at him, and sighed with repeated tossing of head, “I can see you are not ready to hire the car. Do you know what car you want to hire? What about the risk and the insurance that covers the car. What if anything happens to it while you use it?”“Oh , no , no, I am a careful person,” Jack protested and molded his hands to plead. “Please accept this token from me. I prom

After the anniversary party, Ella couldn’t be found around. Her parents thought she was able to secure a nice moment with Ethan; like anxious birds their thought had been hovering and eyes scouting for Ella.Mrs. Tony checked her up in the room and found her in solitude; her hands pressed between her thighs, face lowered, tranquility hanging over her, and just from the bathroom, she could hear the tap over running.“You are wasting water,” she peered at the face of Ella and found out it was crimson and wet. Obviously, she had been all tears and washing her face each time. “You look unperturbed. What is wrong, honey? Were you able to meet Ethan. Has this got anything to do with him?”While she spoke, the door creaked open and Mr. Tony stepped in, his silhouette standing in the door.“What is happening?” he groaned and cast an investigative stare between Ella and his wife before asking. “What a great anniversary. Ethan found it honorable to come around. It is indeed an honor to have the

Uncomfortably seated in front of the doctor, Jack wasn’t as nervous as his mother. In fact his mind was fixed on his car outside. He never cared about what the doctor had to say about the states of health of Nathan.Ever since the doctor invited them to his office, Stella had been all tears; she could read the message in the eyes of the doctor; she knew there was fire on the mountain and her husband wasn’t getting well soon.“We have an issue here ma’am,” the doctor finally spoke after taking a glance at their files, “Nathan has a long lasting genetic disorder that is about to snack his life but if you can make hay, we will get him treated.”“Genetic disorder?” she flinched and sat up, “Is he going to live and what does it require to get him treated. I don’t want to lose my husband,” her voice teary.Jack got busy pressing his phone and posting his new Aston Martin on the school platform, trying to diss Ethan. Mostly his post sounded like: finally an Aston Martin owner; I am the real

Jack and his mother were saddled by the bed side of Nathan when they noticed the presence of a convoy of luxury cars outside. At first Jack winced and squinted. His mother didn’t bother for one bit. She had an appointment with Ethan and a few associates of the bank without the knowledge of Jack.“What is happening mom? Who are they?” Jack kept bugging her with tons of questions as he noticed the convoy were that of Aston Matin, and Roll Royce; promptly his thought clicked to only one enemy; just one arch rival of his.“Is that not Ethan?” he fumed, his jaw sagging in fury, “Mom? Talk to me. What is happening? Did you invite anyone to this hospital? Obviously, they are here to see us. That is Ethan and a few of his officials? Why are they here?”His mother, calm and of a heavy-spirited, sat down and breathed heavily. “Sit down, son.” She pointed at the chair and Jack sat down reluctantly, “It is quite unfortunate that you are the heir to Nathan Group yet you are unaware of the happenin

The coming of Peter Rowling was already making the round in other schools. Sponsored by Ethan, the music show did not only annoi8nce the philanthropic prowess of Ethan, but also placed his name in the hearts of student in other school that didn’t know him.Jack wished he could avoid such news but he was inundated with it, even when he thought he could. When he swerved through his phones, he got churned with news about the show, and on the TV, media personality couldn’t say a few sentences without mentioning it.At a time the picture of Ethan haunted him and he decided to go clubbing with Ella who had told him earlier she wouldn’t be going for the show.But factually Ella wanted to make it to the show ; she had only lied to him just to repel him, and keep his mind off suspicion.Night slid by and while she got dressed for the show, she saw a red car pull across the road. And she dimmed her eyes out the window.“Oh shit!” she snapped, “Why is he here now?” she nagged, rolling her eyes a
