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.

  • Price For Pain

    Erin’s attack was fast and swift, with the tremors from the sharp blade resonating through the air. However, Ethan was faster.Swish!He jabbed against her chest, almost shattering her core while he slammed his palm against her throat.Immediately, she convulsed, almost as if everything in her was about to rise up her throat.The pocket knife fell to the floor, as she staggered backward. Her hands moved to her neck and chest, clutching them and trying to relieve the sharp throbbing pain in her body.“You…” She let out a strained sound but it sent even more jolts of pain down her body. Her eyes blurred with tears and the next second, she fell to the floor with all her strength leaving her.All that moment, Ethan waved his hands at Mason, “Restrain her...”“Sure!”Mason quickly tied her hands behind her while he dragged her across the room, to the couch. Her legs were tied up too, and though she tried to fight him, her current strength was no match for Mason’s.A few minutes later, when

  • Death Threat

    The night had been intense, as Ethan never left the bed as Jenna clung to him like vines. And as he walked out of the shower, with a flimsy towel around his body while the sky turned bright, she smiled.There was a flash of pride, possession, and desire in her eyes. Ethan knew that look all too well, knowing she would want to have him to herself.“After the wedding, Jenna, when everything is done. I would like to tell you something important.”“What’s that?” She perked up immediately, eyes twinkling like a girl utterly in love. He realized the sooner he told her she couldn’t have him to herself, the better. But then, he decided to test the waters a bit, “You have to wait until I am done with everything. Also, you can bring your friends along for a party.”“Ohh…” She raised a brow. “What kind of party? Do they need to be there?”She was opposing, as her brows creased with obvious dislike toward his words. “Yes, it’s a small party, just to let us unwind. Moreover, you agreed to have

  • Number One Woman

    “How are you going to do that?” Jenna’s brows creased. “Will you do anything I ask, Jenna?” Ethan asked, as he clutched her shoulders.“Yes, I will.” She nodded with a determined gaze. “Anything at all.”He grabbed the card again and waved it lightly, “Can you get another one for me? I need to meet your uncle.”“But…” Her eyes dimmed, with uncertainty in them. “Don’t you think it will be too risky? You could meet him in any other place, with a lot of security around.”“You won’t be duly secured if you meet him during the wedding.”However, Ethan assured her with his calm gaze, “You don’t need to worry about anything. I will be fine…”“Are you sure?” Her tone went a notch lower, riddled with worry. She knew she would go crazy, if anything happened to Ethan. She would blame herself to death because she told him the truth about her origin.“You don’t have to worry...” He patted her shoulders. After everything was done with Genie, that would be his final blow toward her. Appearing at he

  • Giving Ethan Everything

    Mason quickly ushered Chairman Davins into the car while he stood guard outside. He had no trust in the old man, and he knew his presence could either put Ethan at a risk or there was something fishy cooking. And back in the car, Ethan’s face was cold as ice while he stared out of the window.“You have five minutes.”“Thank you…” Chairman Davins nodded, while clutching the hem of his clothes. His lips quivered, with his eyes darting around and looking beyond the open parking lot.Ethan noticed every single thing. His movements, his quivering lips, and how he had changed in just a few days. He didn't look like the dignified man he used to be.However, he didn't care as he spoke up, “Three minutes left, old man.”Chairman Davins immediately perked up, knowing this was his only chance at saving.“Save my daughter, please.” He pleaded as his eyes blurred with hot tears. “Aria is in danger.”“What do you mean?”“I will tell you everything…” He whispered. “Everything I did to you, rejectin

  • Let Him Stay

    “Mason? Are you there? Fucking say something!”Erin kept banging on the door while she pulled on the doorknob. The force in her grip ripped it out of the door and it bounced on the floor, however, the door still didn't open.She stood there, breathing heavily while her hands shook. There was no way Mason had locked her up, right?“It has to be a mistake…” She muttered to herself as she took off her bag and rummaged for her phone wanting to call Ethan.However, she could find it. “My phone...” Her brows creased, but then she continued to search. But the next minute, she hurled the contents out of the bag.Every single thing she had came off, but her phone.“What the fuck…” She sank to her knees as she ran through everything again and again. And it clicked in her mind. Her phone was gone. And it didn’t just disappear, Mason had taken it.She was sure she didn't leave it in the car and it didn’t fall off.Quickly, she rose to her feet, rummaging through the house, trying to find any pho

  • Three Days To Death

    As soon as Erin ran out of the quiet estate, she hailed a cab, going straight to Sky Avenue where her family lived. All through the ride, she had tears in her eyes while cursing at Ethan.“It’s all your fault, you bastard!” She screamed, while slamming her fists on the headrest before her. She never cared if the cab driver was looking at her. All she could think of was how she was going to stab Ethan a hundred times over. However, she couldn’t bring herself to do it and that was why she ran out of Genie’s mansion, hoping she could escape.When she finally got back home, she rushed in, checking for her parents and her siblings, and the minute she realized they were fine, she slumped on the couch while breathing hard. “Are you okay, Erin?”Her mother’s worried voice reached her, and a lone tear streamed down her face.
