Ethan's head almost exploded just by seeing the words on the screen. A million dollars in his account was a dream come true and now he knew this shit was real! With that money, he could clear all his debts and do whatever he wanted but above all, The Star Hotel reward was still shocking.

At the same time, his phone dinged and he took it from the bedside and saw that he had just received an alert. Truly, a million dollars had been deposited into his account and he sat up. All forms of pain disappeared from his body and he started to grin from ear to ear.

He became a bit anxious and he just wanted to get out of the hospital so fast. Two days passed and the doctor discharged him, although he didn't get to see the doctor who he flirted with, he didn't mind.

Ethan was dressed in shabby clothes as he took a cab to the city center. Before being rewarded, he would always board buses to save cost and now he didn't care about the cost of a cab.

Soon, he got to the entrance of The Star Hotel and his eyes twinkled, filled with so much expectation. He didn't fail to notice the eyes on him and they were filled with disdain. He got into the hotel lobby which was enormous, with chandeliers hanging from the ceilings.

The place had a resting area by the side where distinguished guests sat to chat and then there was a reception by the side. Immediately, he spotted a well-dressed lady behind the stand and he smiled, she smiled back at him with his legs moving on their own to meet her.

“Good morning sir, welcome to The Star Hotel. How may I help you?” She asked, her eyes roaming about Ethan’d body and they landed on his face. Seeing how shabby he was, her expression did not change one bit and he was impressed.

“I think my job here is done because I have seen what to work on.” Ethan blurted out without thinking as something was pulling him to her. He just wanted to make her elicit emotions. It was like a primal instinct and he guessed this was because of the system.

“And what is that, if I may ask?” She asked.

“You,” Ethan replied firmly she was taken aback at first and then a genuine smile spread on her face and he didn't relent.

“You look so much beautiful when you smile.” He complimented her, causing her smile to grow wider.

“Oh wow, Mr…” She said, her voice drowning out as she didn't know my name.

“Ethan.” He filled in, winking at her.

“Mr. Ethan, it is such a pleasure to hear those beautiful words from you.” The receptionist was visibly glad about the compliments.

“You are so good-looking as well and I hope your day is going well.” She said, sincerely while she blushed. Ethan couldn't control the smile that bloomed on his face and he nodded.

“Of course, with you, I am sure I will have a great day.” He said, firmly. He would be able to do what he was there to do faster since the receptionist was so kind.

“So, what would you like me to do for you?” She asked and instantly, I turned serious.

“I would like to speak to the manager. We have a little business to discuss and I guess he should be expecting me.” Ethan explained simply. The receptionist was a bit taken aback, wondering what a man like Ethan would want to discuss with the manager.

There was a tiny bit of doubt that Ethan was a fraud but she refused to dwell on that. The Star Hotel accommodated many billionaires and millionaires, most of them were not even known by the world. What if Ethan was a billionaire and he was just being low-key? She decided to take this gamble and call the manager.

“Alright, I will let the manager know.” The receptionist replied and Ethan took a sigh of relief. Things were going smoother than he expected, especially after his encounter with the guard.

His back was turned to the rest of the lobby and he didn't see who was behind him but then he heard footsteps. Before he could turn around, a voice resounded.

“Ethan, you don't have to hide your face from me. I dumped your ass and now you are here to stalk me? Are you trying to get my attention by pulling one of your ridiculous tricks?” An obnoxious voice filled with so much mockery flowed into Ethan’s ears, causing him to turn around.

“Becca?” Ethan said with raised brows, seeing his ex-girlfriend. But she was with another man, his hand wound around her waist.

And there were two other men, clinging onto their women, Becca’s friends.

  • Make Me The New CEO

    "It's my sister's funeral, I am glad you didn't let that woman grace it." Aria hissed as she stepped out of the hospital arm in arm with Ethan."Why do you say so? You sound like you hate her." Ethan's brows creased. He couldn't think of any relation Erin and Aria had for there to be such hostility. "No..." Aria stuttered, her eyes darting around as she was embarrassed."Are you jealous?" Ethan clocked it immediately."Of course not!" Aria gasped, her fingers tightening in Ethan's grip, not wanting to let go. "I am just worried she wouldn't want me near you. I..just...""I understand." He said before she could finish, after all, he knew she was under the influence of the Women Soothing Technique. "But you don't need to worry, Erin is easygoing—""Is she your woman?" Aria cut in, her voice shaking.Ethan pursed his lips, thinking for a moment, because due to their recent altercation, Erin had fallen away from his heart. But she was back now, and she had apologized. He had to take her

  • Crawling Her Way Back

    The next day…Erin didn't bother meeting up with Ethan at the hospital. After all, what would she say to him? She had nothing but spite for him now and the little affection she had for him had been snuffed yesterday by Genie’s teachings. Now, all she wanted to do was crawl her way back into Ethan’s life and she would do that when he finally woke up. She had gone straight to his mansion, and there was no one there to stop her. It was as if every one of his underlings had disappeared and she couldn't help but think it had to do with Ethan and the secret power he possessed. She relaxed, twirling around the house like a ballerina ready to strike. However, a few minutes later, her phone buzzed. “Hello, Miss Erin, this is the City’s hospital. Ethan Blackwood is awake.”In that moment, she froze, her eyes widening in shock. But she quickly regained herself and a smile bloomed on her face, “Really? I will be there.”The call ended and Erin ran out to get ready for battle. From this moment

  • Spilling Ethan’s Secret

    Three hours later…Ethan was wheeled back into the ward room, Erin was there, waiting for the bad news. Skillfully putting up a weak front and crying. “We have done all necessary tests on him.” The doctor said, his lips pursed with brows creased. “However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him.”“What?” Erin gasped. “Yes. It's shocking for us too.” They nodded. “But.. But why is he asleep and can’t wake up?” She asked. “Well, we don’t know for sure. We will have to wait until he wakes up. At the same time, further tests will be carried out on him.” Erin clutched her phone, shivering slightly. What if Ethan woke up? Her deal with Genie would be elongated and it would mean more stress for her. What was actually wrong with him? She knew Ethan to be strong and invincible and she definitely knew he had a secret to his power, however, she didn't know what it was.“That might be what’s happening...” She whispered, her gaze dimming. “Maybe his so-called power is leaving him and the

  • Fake Tears

    Ethan’s eyes snapped open, red and teary, with red veins straining the surface as if they were going to burst out the next second. His fingers clawed on the dirt floor of the prison, trying to suppress the pain that was currently tearing him apart. His arms and legs wobbled as he struggled to get up, his eyes now blurred with tears. However, he saw through the darkness, his head whirling around. “Shit!” He cursed when he saw that Genie was nowhere to be found. Her chains were already let loose and her footprints led out of the prison bars. “Why is this happening?” he whispered, clutching his chest. He thought the pain in his body had reached its height, but then, it was only just starting especially with the burn that drilled through his chest. He wobbled out of the cell, staggering and trying to look out for any of his guards or Mason but no one was there. Absolutely no one. The weight of the system’s punishment finally dawned on him. After all, he was being punished for a deat

  • Battle Axe

    Ethan’s System stats all went down to zero as the world turned blank in his eyes. In the next second, he staggered, falling heavily to the damp floor of the prison. Bang!The sound echoed, one that should have reached the number of guards stationed outside the prison but no one heard him and no one came. Genie stared in shock at the lifeless figure on the floor, her hands itching, desperately thinking of what to do. Was he faking this to get her to slip? She couldn't tell. “Ethan?” She called out, slowly standing up to touch him. This time, the chains didn't hold her back as she had been released before now. The tip of her finger pushed against his head, however, there was no movement from him. She crawled closer, examining his face. He was still breathing however, shallow. His skin had gone deathly pale and beads of sweat gathered on his forehead. “Woah…” Her eyes went wide, a sly smile tugging at the ends of her lips. This was a miracle! A perfect one! It was a one-in-a-million
