“It is indeed an honor to meet Ethan Arthur in person,” Esther intoned as she walked in to the dining room to dish out some food for Ethan , who was a bit famished . “Indeed my honor,” she flashed a smile at him and felt the distastes in his eyes.Julie was out to fetch some stuff from the grocery store and had instigated Esther to prepare some food for Ethan who had nagged about hunger over the phone; suddenly Ethan had become used to her food and often made it home to eat some.These days Ethan never paid heed to the food prepared by his chefs anymore but that of July; he had only come to reality that Julie was his perfect match and would want to propose to her for the second time.“So, tell me what inspires you to make so much money that you could buy Globus Holding,” Esther asked, sitting opposite Ethan who was busy devouring the food.“Nothing special,” Ethan shrugged, “I make money, spend money, invests money and get paid in bigger ways. What other inspirations are you asking of

The black tinted Rolls Royce had pulled up, and the glistening shoes shone in the late hour sun only for Ethan to emerge, taking off his glasses and sending a broader stare across the once busy mall which was quitter than a grave yard.“What could be happening?” he queried and stepped closer only to be welcomed by the ear ringing silence in the hall, the sales person were at their counters. While the aisle were empty.“Why is the mall empty?” he queried, his eyes still scanning around, “Have you lost all your customers over night?”“Not actually sir,” the sales person a young lady and a blonde replied, “Actually we have customers today. Just that they have booked the mall to themselves, Grayson and his fiance Tessy.”She pointed at the other extreme aisle only for Ethan to see two figures holding hand-in-hand , their eyes tilted to the ten trolleys that were already stuffed with groceries.“Oh I see,” Ethan smiled and asked. “In other words, I won’t be allowed to do some shopping toda

Like the strike of lightning and the beaming of thunder, and a pack of card, the host of assassins dropped to the ground, yelling, gnashing, and wailing.“Ah. What the fuck,” the yelling went spread, the ringleader turned around to see Ethan standing with a stick of cigar in between his lips smoking heavily, “You piece of cunt. You have come to your end today. You shall not see the dawn of new day.”“Why don’t you let me smoke in peace and enjoy this fresh cigar,” he prided, puffin heavily and chokingly coughing, “Furgives, or whatever you are called, who sent you to have a kiss at death, huh.” a thick cloud of smoke pushed from his cigar.The furgives fighter, staggered to their bodies and pulling out their fists on a combatant manner.“How the hell did you know about us, huh,” he ground, and pushed back to his men, to give an order, “Anyways, it is either you submit yourself to death or you watch us do it. Your name is on our bullets. And I wouldn’t want to mince words…”“You have

The dining wasn’t normal as expected, on it were cakes, of all sorts, velvet, chocolate and the sparkling wine and dishes filled the space. She had lit the candle, and ensured the seat reserved for Ethan was well decorated.When she phoned him earlier Ethan had told her, he would turn up at a later time but right now she had been phoning him, without getting any response. It was late already; although she knew Ethan to be a nocturnal man, she wouldn’t want to reveal the surprise she had for him on phone.This time she was at the window peeping, and the next time she was outside, to see if the car that just pulled up was his.She had told him to check her up in her house and not his mansion so she was expecting him to come around any moment now.This would be the first time he would visit her home; she had waited for this day, a day she would host Ethan and make him feel like her man, her exclusive man, one she would love till the end of time.About that proposal she had been rejectin

“Ethan just terminated our affair,” her tone came cracking than communicating, “He has finally known my identity, … she tossed her head, her eyes twinkling, “One thing keep occurring to me, how on earth did he know about me…”“Exactly what I wanted to ask,” Esther cut in, her fingers entwined with hers, “How on Earth did he know about you? I mean he has been carried away but your sweet and nice approach toward him so how did he know…”A hush of silence hung over them for a while and she asked, “I am beginning to suspect if Tessy has not confronted him , just to ruin me. Yes she can do it…” Julie gasped, her fingers still trembling as she stood up and neared the window to see if Ethan was still around.She rubbed her eyes, a profuse sweat carpeted her arm and face; she had been thinking what next awaited her since her reason for being excited had been ruined.“So what are you going to do now?” Esther asked, her face taking the shape of someone who cares, “Losing Ethan is such a big sla
