CHAPTER 41
Across the city, in Helen's upscale apartment, she sat on her couch staring at her phone, scrolling through social media posts about the gala. Charlie was in the bathroom, still cleaning dried blood from his hair, muttering curses that carried through the door.Every post Helen saw reinforced the same narrative: Ethan had attached himself to Jolie Spencer. He was a kept man, a gold-digger who'd traded up from Helen to someone infinitely wealthier.Part of Helen wanted to feel vindicated—see, she'd been right all along about Ethan being a freeloader.But another part, a part she refused to acknowledge, felt something uncomfortably close to loss.Because Ethan had left her. Actually left. Had walked away and moved on to someone beautiful, powerful, and successful in ways that made Helen's own achievements look modest by comparison."It won't last," Charlie said, emerging from the bathroom with a bandage wrapped around his head. "Jolie Spencer is smart. Eventually she'll see through him,
CHAPTER 42
Ethan and Susan had just settled into their seats, menus unopened on the table between them, when a man in a manager's uniform approached their table with quick, aggressive strides. He was middle-aged, with slicked-back hair and a expression that radiated self-importance."I'm going to have to ask you both to leave," the manager—his name tag read "Jack"—said without preamble, his tone dripping with contempt.Ethan looked up, his expression shifting from relaxed to guarded. "Excuse me?""You heard me. Leave. Now." Jack crossed his arms, his posture making it clear this wasn't a request."On what grounds?" Ethan asked calmly, though his eyes had gone cold. "We have a reservation. We just sat down. We haven't done anything wrong.""I don't need to explain myself to you," Jack sneered. "This is a high-class establishment. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone we deem inappropriate for our clientele."Susan's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Inappropriate? What exactly are you implyi
CHAPTER 43
Other staff members, clearly familiar with Jack's authority and not wanting to cross him, immediately began nodding and murmuring agreement."I saw him knock into the table," one waiter said nervously."He definitely hit it," another confirmed, avoiding eye contact."This is ridiculous," Ethan said, his voice tight with barely controlled anger. "I was nowhere near that plate. What exactly are you trying to pull here?"Jack's expression was pure vindictive satisfaction. "You destroyed restaurant property. That plate was a rare eighteenth-century piece, valued at one hundred thousand dollars. You're going to pay for it, or I'm calling the police and filing charges for destruction of property."Susan's face had gone white with fury. "This is extortion. We both saw you knock that plate over deliberately. You're trying to scam us.""Are you calling me a liar?" Jack stepped closer, his voice rising. "Multiple witnesses saw what happened. Your boyfriend here is a clumsy thug who doesn't belo
CHAPTER 44
"Clearly," Joseph said coldly. "Because if you'd known I was here, you might have thought twice about whatever this disaster is." His eyes swept over the broken plate, then settled on Jack with obvious displeasure. "Start talking. What happened?"Jack recovered quickly, his expression shifting to righteous indignation. "Sir, these two customers—this man specifically—he knocked over one of our antique serving plates. When I asked him to compensate the restaurant for the damage, he became belligerent and refused to take responsibility. I was attempting to resolve the situation peacefully when—""He's lying," Susan interrupted. "Your manager deliberately knocked that plate over himself, then tried to extort one hundred thousand dollars from us."Jack's face flushed. "That's absolutely false! I have multiple witnesses who saw—"Joseph raised a hand, silencing him. Then his eyes landed properly on Ethan for the first time.Recognition flashed across Joseph's face, followed immediately by s
CHAPTER 45
Peter straightened his shoulders, injecting as much authority into his voice as he could muster. "Mr. Crawford, I don't think you understand the situation here. I'm Peter Morgan—of the Morgan family. We have extensive business relationships throughout this city, including direct partnerships with the Spencer conglomerate itself."He paused, letting the weight of the Spencer name hang in the air, expecting Joseph to show the appropriate deference.Joseph looked at Peter for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Then he let out a short, harsh laugh that held no humor whatsoever."The Morgan family?" Joseph repeated, his voice dripping with contempt. "And what exactly are they supposed to be?"Peter's face went from confident to shocked to flushed red in the span of seconds. "We're—we're one of the most prominent real estate families in—""In this city," Joseph finished for him. "Yes, I know. Mid-tier commercial developers with delusions of grandeur." He waved his hand dismissively.
CHAPTER 46
"As for you, Mr. Morgan," Joseph said, his voice quiet but carrying absolute authority. "You're no longer welcome in any Crawford Hospitality establishment. Consider yourself permanently blacklisted."Peter's face went white. "You can't do that! I'm a paying customer! You have no grounds to—""I have every ground I need," Joseph interrupted. "You stood there and lied about what you witnessed, supported false accusations against an innocent customer, and wasted my time with your pathetic attempts at manipulation. That's more than enough reason to refuse you service.""My family will hear about this!" Peter's voice rose, desperation creeping in. "We have connections! Partnerships! You can't just—""Do you want me to blacklist your entire family?" Joseph asked, his tone suggesting he'd be perfectly happy to do exactly that. "Because I can make one phone call and ensure that no Morgan ever dines at a Crawford property again. Your father would probably be very interested to hear why his so
CHAPTER 47
Joseph smiled warmly, then turned to Ethan. For just a fraction of a second, their eyes met, and an understanding passed between them—acknowledgment, respect, and mutual agreement to keep certain truths unspoken."Enjoy your evening," Joseph said. Then, with a slight bow that made Susan's eyes widen even further, he departed to handle the aftermath of Jack's termination.As Marcus led them toward the private elevator that accessed the couple's suites, Susan grabbed Ethan's arm."What just happened?" she whispered. "Joseph Crawford doesn't personally apologize to random customers. He's one of the most powerful businessmen in the city—he could have just had us escorted out and moved on with his day. But instead he's treating us like VIPs. Why?"Ethan glanced at her, his expression carefully neutral, a small smile playing at his lips. "Maybe that's just the kind of person he is. Some people take customer service very seriously."Susan studied his face, clearly not buying the explanation
CHAPTER 48
Peter Morgan sat in his car for a long moment after making the call, a cold satisfaction settling over him. This wasn't the first time he'd gone down this path—far from it.Over the years, there had been others. Women who'd rejected him, who'd thought they were too good for him, who'd chosen someone else or simply said no. Each time, Peter had convinced himself he was justified. They'd led him on, given him false hope, humiliated him publicly. They deserved what came next.The pattern was always the same: his men would grab the woman—sometimes through force, sometimes through drugs slipped into drinks at carefully selected venues. They'd take her somewhere private, somewhere Peter controlled. And then Peter would take what he believed was rightfully his.Afterward, the Morgan family machine would activate. Money would change hands—generous settlements to keep victims quiet, payments to police officers to lose evidence, donations to prosecutors' campaigns to ensure charges were never f

The big man with the bat stood over Ethan, looking down with cold calculation. "Stay down, pretty boy. This doesn't concern you."Then they were gone—the van's tires squealing as it peeled out of the parking lot, leaving Ethan bleeding on the pavement, his vision swimming in and out of focus.Susan.The thought cut through the pain and confusion. They'd taken Susan. He had to—he needed to—Ethan's hand fumbled for his phone, his fingers slippery with blood, his coordination shot. It took three tries to unlock the screen, his vision doubling and tripling as he tried to focus.He found Jolie's contact and hit call.One ring. Two rings."Ethan?" Jolie's voice was bright, cheerful. "How was dinner? Did you—""Jolie." His voice came out slurred, weak. "I need... Susan's been taken. They hit me... I can't...""ETHAN?" Jolie's tone shifted instantly to panic. "What happened? Where are you? Are you hurt?""Parking lot. Riverside Terrace. They took her." Ethan tried to push himself up and imme

Marcus nodded and pulled out his phone, barking orders to someone on the other end. "White van, four suspects, last seen leaving Riverside Terrace parking lot approximately six minutes ago. License plate unknown. Find it. I want every camera in the city accessed, every traffic feed monitored. Find that vehicle NOW."He ended the call and looked at his team. "You heard the man. We're tracking a kidnapping. Treat this as a hostile extraction—weapons authorized, lethal force if necessary to protect the victim."The security team moved immediately, two of them returning to the SUV to access the mobile command center equipment while the others maintained security around Ethan.Ethan forced himself to his feet, swaying but staying upright through sheer willpower. The doctor tried to protest, but he waved her off."I'm going with you," Ethan said, his voice steadier now despite the throbbing in his skull. "Susan's in danger because of me. I'm not sitting this out."Marcus assessed him for a
