“What the hell are you doing here?” Ethan groaned once he stepped out of his mansion, to see Linda with her luggage, about four bags and her little boy Kelvin by her side. At the time her baby bump had protruded so well that it stretch the edges of her gown. Once Ethan sighted her on the camera he instructed his guard to restrict her at the gate.She lowered her gaze, scared to utter a word and cautious to mutter the right words that wouldn’t offend Ethan. “Apologies for my unannounced arrival. I only came to pay a visit to you and my father in-law. I heard the news of assassins making an attempt on your life…”Ethan scoffed, tossing his head in pity. “You never seems to amaze me, Linda. Frist, let me correct some impressions, here. My father is not your father-in-law. Get the perfect definition of a father-in-law and stop deceiving yourself. The fact that you are carrying my child doesn’t make you my wife…”She screwed up her face pitiably. “But I don’t see anything wrong I have don

It was breakfast time in prison and Jack was well-seated with his inmate, as they steadied their gaze on the screen, expecting the broadcaster to mention the demise of Ethan anytime time soon.A rumor had been making the round in jail about Ethan brutally attacked by some assassins , and it went a long way to gladden Jack’s heart because he knew it was his doing. But now he wasn’t too sure of his condition.“Do you think he is dead?” Jack mumbled as he fixed his eyes on the TV which was featuring loads of commentary and news about business and world leaders. “We haven’t received any news yet. I heard an inmate saying the richest guy in New York is dead. I really believe he is dead.”The inmate cleared his tone and replied. “I have been trying to reach my men but I can’t connect to them. I just hope they are fine after the hit. They are the most formidable of my mafias, I am sure they shot him dead…”Jack tossed his head in agreement. “Yes, I am sure they did. Inmates can’t just fabri

“Are you OK, Ethan? Is everything alright? Are you hurt?” the detective asked as he and his team approached Ethan who was staring at the remains of the don, on the ground “You don’t look hurt.”“I will never,” he groaned as he dimmed his eyes at the dagger slash on the throat of the don. “Something mysterious about him. He took his life when I wanted him to reveal who sent him. Some bloody fools want me dead.”The detective and his team squatted to get their forensic exhibit. “Obviously. This is the second attempt in one week. They are not giving you any chance to breath, because they want to snap your breath.”Ethan snorted. “So do you have any suspect yet. Anybody . I can’t wait to visit them with my fury.”“Nobody yet Ethan,” he signed. “But if you ask me I would advise you to watch out for your associates, your shareholders, even your clients. You are the number one soul on the map now so everyone wants you out of the queue…”“As if they have monopoly to it,” Ethan tossed his hea

The clattering of cutlery could be heard in Ethan’s dining room and a close observation could reveal Ethan and his father having breakfast. Quietness hung over them as everyone faced his meal. It would have been a peaceful meal until the knocking of heels could be heard.Ethan was the first to pause before Rex did. They swung their eyes to see Linda and her huge baby bump making entrance into the mansion.Ethan lost his appetite.“What are you doing here?” his voice was sharp and fury crystal, “I thought I warned you never to appear in my mansion until you give birth to the thing in your belly…”“Son!”“Father, excuse me!” Ethan cautioned Rex who had stood up with a fierce cutting jaw. Linda lowered her gaze, her hand stroking her baby bump. “Why are you here? You lack nothing. I give you enough money for the antenatal and ensure you are fine. So why are you here?”Rex narrowed his gaze at her, wondering what she had come to do at such an early hour of the day. Ordinarily, she would p

“I want to have a word with you, son,” Rex affirmed once he barged into Ethan dressing up for work, “Apologies for interrupting your privacy,” he tendered, and hesitated to speak yet further.“Say whatever you have to say, dad. I don’t have time to waste. I got to catch up with some schedules at my space craft group…”“Oh so sorry,” he swallowed hard still hesitating, knowing how his discussion with him may end,” I don’t intend to hurt you. I don’t want to make you feel bad but I wish you could address Linda as the…”“As the woman in my life?” Ethan interposed leaving him gaping in uncertainty., “no I guess that was what you wanted to say. Listen up, dad, I know your position in all of this. but permit me to inform you that I am not ready to make you a grandfather in your own terms…”“You are not getting any younger son, neither am I?” Rex reposed, “But that is not my purpose of this discussion. I just want to let you accord her some respect at least if not for any other reason for t
