That next morning, Ethan decided to meet with Mr. Mathew Wirtkov. He hadn't been able to sleep that night and that would make it two consecutive nights that he hadn't slept.

After Grandfather Robbins' discovery of his connection with the Moon's Crown Forces, he knew it was only a matter of time before his cover as both Mr. King abd A.M.E.N eventually gets blown up, and he wasn't ready to risk it.

Arriving at the Wirtkov Penthouse, he stepped out of the car he had come with, and took in a deep long breath as though it was his last.

And then, he took the elevator at the ground floor punching the control keys to take him to the topmost floor where Mr. Matthews and Ahmad Malcolm were already waiting for him—the only two people in the world who knew him in his three different personalities..

“You’re late,” Matthew said, as Ethan stepped out of the elevator, walking towards them with the strides of a man who had indeed, fought and won many battles in life.

Ethan rubbed his temples. “It's ju

  • Chapter 131: Behind bars

    Inside one of the coldest cells at Fort-tight, Frank lay stretched across the narrow metal cot in his cell, staring at the ceiling with tired, hollow eyes.For the longest time, since the day he arrived here, he had learned to understand that no one truly cares, ad everyone would do anything to protect that which was precious to them. He had learned to live with the chains around his heart long before he learned to live with the ones around his wrists.And he had survived all these years with only one burning thought keeping him alive:One day… I will make the Robbins pay.He didn’t know how nor did he know when. But he knew that someday and somehow, he would. And when that day comes, he’ll make sure to make it happen in such a way that the Robbins’ would have wished that he was the one who had died in that plane crash instead of Richard.And that was because every time he thought of the life they had stolen from him, the happiness of a family that they deprived him of enjoying, it o

  • Chapter 130: Chloe’s resolve

    Rose let out a shaky breath. “Well, congratulations,” she whispered bitterly. “Because all you protected was the lie.”The room fell deathly still after she made that statement and for a brief moment, it almost felt as though Aunt Rose had long been preparing for this day as every of her argument seemed to be so one point that it didn’t appear as though she was speaking with her father.Lizzy’s fingers tightened around the handkerchief she had been wringing since the confrontation began. Her face was pale, her guilt visible like a bruise spreading under her skin.All she ever did was make a careless statement, and now, the consequences were almost spiraling out of her control, that she could only but wish she could take back what she had said so that all of what was happening could just come to an end.As for Grandpa Robbins, even if he didn’t want to outrightly admit to Rose that what he did over twenty years had really cost the Robbins’ family more than they were willing to pay, he

  • Chapter 129: The cost of buried secrets

    Chloe slammed her bedroom door shut so hard that one of the picture frames rattled against the wall. She twisted the lock with trembling fingers, her vision blurry with hot tears.She had heard enough for one morning, and just couldn't take it anymore as it was just too much to take in.She slid down to the floor, her back against the door, her knees pressed to her chest. A broken sob escaped her before she could stop it.“Why… why didn’t someone just tell me?” she whispered to the empty room.Her phone buzzed in her trembling hand — the image of Mr. King contact glowed softly on her screen. A surge of desperation shot through her chest.She needed him at that moment, as he was the only person who truly made her feel chosen and worthy.Her thumb slammed the call button before she could think twice.There was no other person she'd love to speak with at that point than Mr. King himself, and all she could do at that point was to hope and wish that he'd answer.“Chloe?” came the deep, vel

  • Chapter 128: Secrets served hot

    Lizzy’s head snapped up. “You keep your mouth shut, Rose.”Rose’s laughter was low, mocking. “Oh, darling… you really think you can keep the past from catching up forever?”Ethan, silent and watchful, glanced around the table. The pieces were shifting again — faster, darker, and exactly as he had predicted.The Robbinns were actually hiding something and it was more than the secrets of the Crown of Aetheron. Lizzy’s breath caught in her throat as the entire room seemed to close in on her.“Rose,” she said, trying to steady her voice, “this is not your story to tell.”“Oh, but it affects the whole family, doesn’t it?” Rose’s tone was deceptively light, her eyes glittering with mischief. “We all lived through the scandal, Elizabeth. You may have buried it, but that doesn’t mean it died.”“Enough, Rose,” Grandpa Robbins’ voice came like thunder — calm yet commanding. But it wasn’t enough to silence the storm that was already gathering.Another breakfast successfully ruined, and this tim

  • Chapter 127: War during breakfast

    The following morning arrived with the soft glow of sunlight streaming through the high glass windows of the Robbins mansion. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and buttered croissants wafted through the air, mingling with the low hum of conversation around the long dining table.The family had gathered for breakfast as usual, and this time around, the atmosphere wasn’t tensed as it used to be, as it could almost appear as though everyone seemed to want a peaceful and a quiet breakfast.Ethan, as usual, sat quietly at the far end beside Emma, who looked well-rested though still distant in thought. Across the table, Chloe was radiating excitement, her makeup flawless, her phone propped beside her plate as if she were waiting for another notification from social media.Aunt Rose sat next to her, sipping from her porcelain cup while her eyes darted between everyone with that habitual gleam of intrigue. Grandpa Robbins, dignified and calm as ever, occupied the head of the table, unfolding

  • Chapter 126: Shadows behind the screen

    Emma’s intention was to tell the caller that Ethan was in the shower and would call back later. But the moment her eyes caught the name flashing across the screen, her breath froze in her chest.Matthews Wirtkov.The phone continued to ring in her trembling hand, the name glowing coldly against the black screen.Emma’s pulse quickened. She blinked, reading it again to be sure. Matthews Wirtkov.Her mind spun, and at the same time, her heart began to pound in her chest as she couldn’t help but wonder how Ethan knew Matthew Wirtkov and why he was calling Ethan.“What the hell is going on?” She whispered; her voice barely audible.She knew Matthews Wirtkov well enough to know that someone like Ethan wasn’t in his league to have the privilege of meeting let alone have his personal call line, except maybe it was someone else and not the Matthews Wirtkov that she knew.Just then, Ethan stepped out of the bathroom with droplets of water sliding down his bare shoulders. He was rubbing a towe
