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.

Taking Their Women
“There is no way you wouldn't want to marry me, Ethan!” Erin screamed, piercing through the silence in the car. Her face was twisted like a knot and he had never seen her so terrifying. “What do you mean? I never promised to do that!” He snapped at her. “I have never vowed my undying loyalty to you, why should I do that now?”“Because I have sacrificed so much to be by your side. I neglected my family, neglected my job just to live as your woman and yet, you still don't see that as anything.” She continued to scream with tears streaming down her eyes. Ethan could only purse his lips, knowing a large part of her words were true. Her job complications arose just from her clashing with the higher powers that tried to bring her down and he was also entangled with it. However, he never told her to stay away from her family. In fact, he never even spoke about her family with her. Neglecting her family was everything she did on her own but Ethan wasn't going to say that out loud because s
Let’s Get Married
Seeing Baron’s surrender, Ethan’s eyes dimmed in suspicion as he couldn't readily believe that this minister would easily relent. After all, he was proud and cocky. “Alright, start speaking.” He urged but before Baron could start, he spoke up again, “And if you dare lie to me, you are dead.”Baron frantically nodded, his eyes filled with too much fear to even lie and his first sentence shocked Ethan so well. “I wasn't the one who helped Genie out of prison.” Minister Baron began and Ethan quickly sat up in his seat, realizing it was about to get serious. “I only served as a connection between her and the other person. My only benefit was to come out of prison and become a minister again as a placeholder. This position isn't controlled by me, it’s for the benefit of that person.”Ethan was surprised at the outcome of things. No wonder Baron was a show-off. Empty people tend to make the loudest noise. “Who is this other person you are in contact with, huh? And what did Genie offer t
Dead Eyes
Even though Erin was visibly raging, Ethan sat down coolly staring at her with a blank gaze. He recalled how she had begged to be involved in the case, and yet, she let her emotions lead her. “You have ten seconds to leave, Erin. You are no longer involved in this.” He warned her. “Why?” She snapped, “First, you deceived me into thinking you wouldn't be coming and here you are. I brought you both here! If anyone should be taken out of this, it’s Mason, who stood up to leave abruptly. He ruined the whole thing before my family—”“I ordered him to do so…”“What?” She gasped. “You let your emotions rule over you, Erin. You are not fit for this.” Ethan waved his hand. “Leave before it’s too late.”However, it was obvious she wasn't ready to leave at all. Quickly, Ethan signaled Mason to get her out.“What will you do…hmmm…” Mason quickly covered her mouth, muffling her words. At the same time, he held her body together making her thrash, trying to get away from his grip but then, he wa
A Simple Note
One day later…Mason held Erin by the arm, walking her into the grand venue to greet her family for the night. He had a gift box in hand, looking very charming but then he had his eyes scanning the room. His glasses, which complemented his black tailored suit had tiny cameras on them, sending live feed of the event to Ethan. Mason gently scanned the hall but Minister Baron was nowhere to be seen. Though there were other government officials of his caliber in the event, no one seemed to be concerned about his absence. “Are you sure Baron is going to be here?” He asked Erin who clutched his hand rigidly. “Well, I don’t know.” She hissed. “We will have to find out.”Ever since Ethan switched up on her last minute, she had been gloomy. She thought she was going to show him off for once before the high society and her family but he was a step before her. Deep in her mind, she hoped Baron wouldn't even appear! Her grievance overshadowed her reasoning, her emotions rising to an all-time
Erin’s Happiness
Driving into his mansion, Ethan had his fingers on his chin, deep in thoughts. Getting to minister Baron would be a long walk especially when trying to get him involved in the scam case. Minister Baron had a lot of power on his side, one that definitely aided him in getting Genie out of prison. Fighting against such a man might be a lot of toll. Ethan had to strategize the perfect plan and not just go in rashly. But then he knew the minister would get news about Genie’s disappearance. Would it be soon and would he be able to trace it back to Ethan?As he got out of the car, he realized there was no way it could be traced back to him. After all, his men had done a clean job. He spotted Erin right outside the building looking very worried and he wanted to ignore her completely but then, as she quickly approached the car, he became concerned. “Ethan, Eva is not in the house.” She said, shocking him. “And why would you care?” He raised a brow, suspicion stirring in his mind. “Uhmmm…”
The Raging Old Man
Genie was immensely surprised that Ethan knew about Elvis Chris and the Minister. She had truly underestimated her biggest opponent. It was easy to conquer her husband but Ethan, it didn't seem so. But at the same time, she wondered how he got to know. Everything she did was securely under wraps and only a few people knew she was out of prison. “You want to know how I got out of prison, right?” She tilted her head to the side, her gaze scanning. Ethan pursed his lips, seeing the way she stared at him like a specimen under scrutiny. “You amaze me, Ethan.” She chuckled. “You were able to find out about the minister and Elvis, yet you couldn't find out about such a simple thing. Are your resources limited?” Ethan didn't react to her provocative words just like she wanted, instead, his smile was cool, one that made her swallow. “You know what?” He grinned, his eyes darkening sending warning bells in her head. “I don't need to know how you got out.” He slowly stood up to his feet, a
