a friendly threat
Ethan’s P.O.V.“Mr. Croft.” I looked at Mr. William Foster, our math teacher, when he called me from behind.I was leaving with the other students after class.“Yes, Mr. Foster?” I asked him politely, moving toward him.He picked up a file from the desk and looked in my direction again.I recognized that.It was mine.“This assignment.” He spoke calmly.I was a bit confused, but I waited for him to finish first.“You actually did it by yourself?” he asked me, raising his brows in the process.I could say that he was intrigued, but his interest confused me.I wasn’t at the bottom of the class, but I guess being a transfer student from a community school is my biggest disadvantage here.He probably didn't expect something good from a student like me.“Of course, he did by himself, Mr. Foster. Look at the bags under his eyes. He only takes two hours of sleep ever since he has joined the school,” Nathan yelled from the door, teasing and laughter evident in his voice.Mr. Foster’s brow hit
scarier than Ashton
Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)Ashton controlled his anger, but he was still infuriated by my intrusion.I don’t know why he was so sure about my involvement, but I had no way out of this situation.“I will make sure that you and your siblings won’t get admission anywhere else.” My heart went cold, and I stared at him coldly.His voice carried his confidence, arrogance, and anger.I knew he meant every word that he said.I chuckled dryly and looked at him with contempt.“I don’t know what you are accusing me of, or how I have offended you, but don’t you think that the wager you put here is unfair to me?” I asked sarcastically, slowly walking towards my shelf.Nathan had defended me earlier, and I didn’t want him to get suspicious. I still had a mission to complete, which is related to him.Ashton continued glaring at me while trying to keep his composure.“If you are wrong, you will say sorry. I still don’t know exactly what you want to find here, but if you get that, my life will be ruin
his accusation
Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)For a few seconds, we both just stared at each other with different expressions on our faces.Pain in my face.Fury on his face.He marched inside, shutting the door with another bang.“You…. Do you have any idea what you have done?” he roared at me, his whole aura murderous.I narrowed my eyes, feigning confusion.“What are you talking about? What did I do?” I asked him, still holding my stomach.He grabbed my collar and pulled me to his face harshly.“What are you doing?” I yelled, grabbing his wrist, trying to yank his hand away from me.“I told you…. I warned you.” He roared, his nose almost touching my nose.“What the f**k is wrong with you? What did I do?” I yelled back, still trying to push his hand away, but he was stronger than me.Of course, he is.He always had the best food and drinks. He got the best physical training all these years, while I had to find a means to survive every day.I was no match for him in physical strength.“Mr. Stone. Pleas
the price I paid
Ethan’s P.O.V. (continued) Want to hurt my siblings???No f**king way…My fingers moved faster than earlier.The man with rings was still on my toes. The trace bar was running rapidly towards the end.The battle between us was now at its peak.We were both now attacking each other while protecting us from the traps that we had laid for each other.The surveillance of the casino's main hall showed chaos like last time.People running for their lives while screaming in horror.The machines blasting in a series…Security guards and bouncers were trying to calm down the crowd, but the terrified crowd never had ears.It only had mouths to scream and limbs to run as fast as they could.Pushing each other with all their might to escape the disaster.The man with rings broke the trap, but I didn’t let him take a second breath.The system continued blaring its warning.The clock was still ticking.But I zoned everything out of my system.All I could see was the windows open on my screen.All
he anticipated my move
Ethan’s P.O.V. (Continued)A room in chaos…Bright screens everywhere….Security footage….algorithm…. coding….“How did this happen?” someone roared, sounding enraged.“They were in front of us all the time. There is no way that he has done this….Everything went black in front of my eyes for a few seconds, but before I could blink…That very same room appeared in front of my eyes again…I froze…On three different screens appeared three different but very familiar faces…No…This can’t beNot them…Please, not them…“This boy is good with coding and algorithms. He must be the one.” Someone yelled, pointing at one faces…“Our system is hacked…. Someone is trying to break the firewalls.” Someone yelled.At the same time, the boy whom they pointed out stood up with his bag and started walking….“He is not the one.” Someone mumbled, disappointed, angry….“Find him, now.” A commanding roar, and then everything went black again….I jerked my head to get rid off the headache.I breathed out
unexpected mission
Ethan’s P.O.V.I cracked my neck, massaged my nape, and rounded my shoulders a few times before resuming my homework and assignments that I needed to submit by Friday, and it was already Wednesday.It had been four full days here, and God!My fingers started shaking because of constant typing and writing.It wasn’t only me.Walter and Iris also had the same sleepless and restless days and nights.Iris didn’t say a word in complaint, but Walter is another story.“For how long are you going to keep that light on?” Nathan groaned angrily; his voice was hoarse, indicating thatI stiffened, but there was nothing that I could do now.“I am sorry, but there is nothing that I can do, Mr. Campbell. I need to finish everything in two days,” I replied to him apologetically.Nathan is the only one who spoke to me here and there.Ashton goes out early in the morning and comes back late at night.He barely stays for more than six hours here.And the fourth one….I never saw him.I never inquired ab
