The email hit Ethan’s inbox at 10:37 p.m.Subject line: “Stop calling, your wife is busy.”Ethan frowned. He had already called his wife more than a dozen times, but received no response. And now, this strange email had suddenly appeared in his inbox.Ethan opened the video attached to the email, and immediately, a string of obscene sounds filled the air: A half-dressed woman appeared on screen, clearly enjoying herself with a man!"Who’s behind this sick joke?!" Ethan snapped, anger rising. But just as he was about to close the video, he noticed a distinctive tattoo on the woman in the video.In that instant, his blood ran cold.That small, distinct moonflower inked on her back!That tattoo was incredibly unique—only he and Sierra knew about it. Which meant… the video couldn’t possibly be AI-generated!Ethan’s hands trembled. In the video, the woman was bent over a desk. That was Sierra’s office desk. Even their photo together was clearly visible beside it!Every detail in the video

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 23
Chapter 23: Power ShiftDana’s legs wobbled, her smug smile vanishing like smoke in the wind. Eric clutched the rack beside him for support, pale as a ghost.Even the sales associate — a tall woman with glossy black hair and perfect posture just minutes ago — now trembled like a leaf, her knees buckling as she collapsed to the floor in terror. Her voice faltered as she stammered, “M-Mr. Santos… I-I didn’t know…”Roger didn’t spare her a glance. His focus was on Ethan.“Mr. Ethan,” he said again, his tone steeped in reverence, “allow me to explain. The bounty… it was issued before I took full control. I’m in the process of cleaning house. As of today, you are officially under my protection — anyone who touches you answers to me.”Ethan raised an eyebrow, his arms crossed lazily. “Took you long enough.”Roger bowed again, deeper this time. “It won’t happen again.”Dana’s mouth opened, then closed. She looked like a fish gasping for air.“Wait… what’s going on?” she finally managed to wh

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 22
Chapter 22: The Santos Family’s ReachDana spotted Ethan near the racks of casual wear, and at first, she looked down on him with a scoff.What’s he doing here? she thought, wrinkling her nose at his blood-stained jacket and worn boots. Did he mistake this for a thrift store?But then her phone buzzed.A message popped up from one of her contacts—someone who liked to brag about being close to power: “The Santos family just issued a bounty on a guy named Ethan. One million dollars for his location.”Dana’s eyes widened, and a wicked smile slowly curled across her face.No way.Is this fate?She turned her gaze back to Ethan, who was inspecting a hoodie with quiet focus, oblivious to her stare. He looked too calm—too unaware. Perfect. He clearly had no clue that the biggest crime family in the city had a price on his head, as he was nothing more than a pretty boy with no access to insider information.Dana’s mind raced. If she played this right, she and Eric could split a million-dollar

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 21
Chapter 21: Rosanna’s Wake-UpRosanna shot up with a strangled scream, drenched in sweat, her chest heaving. Her eyes darted wildly around the unfamiliar room, panic swelling in her throat. The cream-colored walls, the expensive chandelier above, the silken sheets against her bare skin—Bare?She looked down, horrified to find herself completely naked under the covers. A sob broke from her lips.“No, no, no, please—no…” she whimpered, clutching the blanket to her chest as she trembled. The last thing she remembered was Sergio’s twisted grin, his hand grabbing her throat, the sound of Ethan’s voice shouting in the distance…She curled into herself, sobbing.Did he…? Did Sergio…?The door creaked open.Rosanna’s instincts kicked in. Her eyes snapped to the nightstand, where a sleek lamp sat. In one swift motion, she grabbed it, holding it above her head like a weapon.“Stay back!” she cried out, her voice shaky.The figure in the doorway paused. “Rosanna—it’s me.”Her breath caught. Eth

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 20
Chapter 20: Roger’s Revelation The moment Ethan stepped outside with Rosanna cradled in his arms, a shadow moved near the stairwell. “Stop—wait!” a voice rasped. Ethan pivoted on instinct, shielding Rosanna behind him with one arm and drawing his weapon with the other. A young man stumbled into view, his face pale, body bruised and bloodied, barely standing on his own two feet. Ethan narrowed his eyes. “Who the hell are you?” The young man raised both trembling hands. “I’m not your enemy. Please… did you… did you kill them? All of them?” “Yeah,” Ethan said flatly, his tone icy. “Including Sergio. And of course that I welcome everyone that wants to avenge that scumbag.” The words struck like thunder. The young man’s knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, trembling violently. Then—unexpectedly—he burst into tears, covering his face with his bruised hands. “I have to see it. I have to see for myself!” Ethan frowned as the man bolted past him and into the house. Seconds l

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 19
Chapter 19: The Final Confrontation The soundproofed walls of Sergio’s lavish room offered no warning as Ethan stormed in. Rosanna’s figure, bound and vulnerable on the bed, was the first thing he saw. His heart clenched, but he didn’t let the anger that surged through him cloud his focus. Sergio was too busy setting up a camera in the corner, unaware of the impending storm. Afterward, he planned to let his men have their way with her. Only by humiliating Rosanna completely would he feel that he had avenged Norlan. As the door slammed open, Sergio’s head snapped toward the intruder. His eyes widened in disbelief, quickly followed by a seething fury. “How dare you—! How did you—?” Sergio’s voice cracked as he looked at the bodies of his men sprawled across the villa. He hadn’t heard the gunfight outside due to the thick, soundproof walls, and now this… this filthy man had somehow bypassed all his defenses. His mind scrambled to comprehend the impossibility of it. Ethan took a step

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 18
Chapter 18: The Fury Unleashed The gangsters had gathered around Ethan, thinking they had him cornered. Their laughter echoed through the quiet street, but it was more than just the thrill of the moment. To them, capturing Ethan would mean glory, and possibly a high position under Sergio’s command. They could already taste the rewards—the power, the wealth, and the status. The leader of the group, the one with the scarred face, couldn’t contain his glee. “You think you’re so tough, huh? Well, here’s your chance to prove it!” He grinned, his voice dripping with malicious amusement. “We already got the woman who hurt Young Master Norlan. Now it’s your turn.” Ethan’s jaw clenched at the mention of Rosanna. His eyes narrowed into cold slits, his voice low but dangerous. “Rosanna,” he demanded, his fists tightening. “Where is she?” The men smirked, enjoying his obvious discomfort. The lanky thug with the crooked nose, who had been standing a little farther back, sauntered forward, his

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 17
Chapter 17: The Encounter at Hampton HillEthan leaned against his car, phone pressed to his ear as he waited for Lilian to pick up. The cool evening air did little to calm the simmering tension in his chest. He needed a new place—something permanent, somewhere away from the chaos of his current life.“Lilian,” he said when she answered, his tone casual but firm. “Do you know of any decent places to stay? I can’t keep hopping from hotel to hotel.”“Of course,” Lilian’s voice was warm, with the familiar touch of concern. “We’ve always kept a villa for you, just in case. It’s ready whenever you need it. I’ll send you the address.”Ethan’s eyebrows lifted in surprise. “You kept a place for me?”“Always,” she replied, a smile in her voice. “You never know when you might need it, right?”“True,” he muttered, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Alright, send me the address.”A few minutes later, the location popped up on his phone. Ethan slid into the driver’s seat, starting t

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 16
Chapter 16: The Price of SilenceEthan watched from the shadows as Rosanna’s car disappeared through the gates of the Morgan estate. His face was unreadable, but his fingers curled slowly into fists. The moment he had stepped out of that ballroom with her, he knew this wasn’t over.Before parting, she had clutched his hand tightly, eyes wild with fear.“Promise me,” she whispered, “Promise me you’ll keep your head down.”“I’ll handle it,” Ethan had replied, voice low and sure. “Don’t worry.”But Rosanna did worry.She returned to her family estate like a lamb walking into a den of wolves, trying to hold herself together. At the entrance, she straightened her shoulders, wiped the sweat from her palms, and rehearsed the line again in her head: I landed a fifty-million-dollar deal. That had to mean something.Inside the opulent Morgan mansion, her family sat in the drawing room, dressed in their usual layers of judgment and expectation. Her father, Lawrence Morgan, barely looked up from

Ethan Storm’s Dark Awakening 15
Chapter 15: The House of Santos Strikes BackThe air inside the grand ballroom was still heavy with disbelief. No one moved. No one breathed. All eyes were glued to the man who stood like a god among mortals—Ethan, calm as ever, tucking his handkerchief back into his pocket.He hadn’t flinched.He hadn’t hesitated.He’d just destroyed Norlan Santos—the sole heir to the most feared family in the country—without blinking.Dana’s shriek still echoed off the marble walls, but Ethan didn’t spare her a glance. He turned to Rosanna, who was pale as a sheet, frozen where she stood. Her heart thundered in her chest, lips slightly parted, but no words came.“Let’s go,” Ethan said quietly, and without waiting, he walked past the carnage, past the murmuring crowd, as if none of it mattered.Rosanna hesitated, then ran after him, heels clicking against the marble. She caught up, grabbing his arm.“Ethan,” she whispered urgently, “what have you done?!”He looked at her with an unreadable expression
