Promise With A Deadline
No words had ever been so spiky.Ethan fought it off with a hard breathe.“I know past glory is no glory but I need your help with half a billion to regain it. It will go a long way to help me back on track. At least half a billion but if you can help me with more I will be …”Jaden pulled aback, squinted at Ethan as if his sight was blurred to see him clearly.“What the fuck are you talking about. You call figures as if they are ABC. Common half a billion? You can’t be serious. I am not even promising you a cent and you are demanding 1 billion?”Vanity flashed before Ethan. Goose bumps , ravaged his skin, mind melted like wax. “Don’t get it. I say I need some money…”“Just like that?” he queried, his tone increasing with each pitch, “I don’t have a dime on me now, but even if I have I can’t risk it giving you knowing the fact that not every business owner that loses regains pace…”Ethan’s jaw sagged, mouth went sore. Even in his dreams he wouldn’t believe those words from Jaden, a d
Past Glory No Glory
Silence of the entire world seemed to have clustered around Ethan’s mansion as the three men sat in despair and loss. Rex couldn’t even sip his rum, he kept stirring, George sat , with hands on the jaw, brooding through the loss they had been through these few days.Ethan was seen pacing up and down making some calls; but all doors seemed shut on him.“We are only left with this mansion,” Rex recounted, “This.. this is the worst day of my life.” He stuttered, “How in such short hour , every damn thing just dissipated. This is unfair. Who did we offend. I never saw this coming. …”His voice almost broke down in tears as he blinked hard to retain his tears.“Perk up, dad,” Ethan intoned, “When I fall I don’t remain on the floor, I roll.” He assured and heaved breath, “We need to bounce back in any possible way we can. And I know a few people I can contact that will help me with some money…”“Will they be willing to help?” George queried and shrugged in disapproval, recounting the tons o
Ethan Loses His Bank
Those words aroused Ethan’s gnashing of teeth, as he steamed with fury. “Was that why you came with the media, huh? and besides the last time I checked you had nothing to do with the tax cooperation. So why are you here?”“… to witness the richest guy pay his accumulated debt while the rest of the world watch the behind the scene,” Nathan burst into a huge laugh. “You know a while, not too long . We couldn’t rest. The richest guy dis this, you own over 9 groups, huh, today where are they. Huh?”“Nathan or whatever you called, “ Rex interposed, “Please, let us be. We are indebted to the tax cooperation and not you!” he swung his scarlet eyes at the tax officers, “I really wonder why state officials like you will be comfortable with some asshole accompanying you guys with the media. Is this necessary?”“Hey, hey, you guys back off and stop taking the photos!” George warned the journalist taking swift repeated shots, “This is absolutely unfair. We are going to sue for this. Nathan be rea
Mockery And Shame
“Let’s leave here, son. You can’t face these guys,” scared to his bones, Rex fell back, seeing the one with dagger step powerfully , with the veins on his neck and arms hugely pumped as he groaned towards Ethan.Beam!A first blow.Ethan swerved out of target, rotated at a pivot and leaped in the air and delivered a powerful kick that separated his attacker from his dagger. Still falling back, Ethan sent a divulging kick, at his chest and belly and grabbed his neck to a snap.Thud!The attacker smashed on the floor, leaving the rest of them gaping at Ethan. Clara rubbed her eyes in doubt of what had just happened before her, Roham dimmed his gaze and turned his gaze to Luis.Silence fell across the house.“Ahhh!”One of the guards impatiently attacked Ethan with an unsheathed blade. Ethan glided backward and bent like rubber, his body streamlining before he sent a rotational kick that smashed his attacker on the glass panes behind.The guest were left puzzled, fingers clicking, deep
Ethan Stands Firm
George had never been insulted. Teeth gnashing, bones cracked as he folded his fists, he made a move to pounce on Roham when Ethan wedged him with his hand.“Let me handle this, George,” he tossed his head and widened his gaze at Roham, “Just let the assholes go . We have not come for violence. Just that I am disappointed that a woman chosen for me by my father is boldly kissing another asshole in my presence….”Rex knowing how guilty he was right now lowered his gaze and couldn’t even utter a word. “Fine and good, son, since it is going this way,” he turned his redden face to Roham, “We have come to reclaim the 3 billion we gave you. We want it right now. Once you give it to us we will leave this fucking occasion….”Heavy murmuring across the crowd, leaving Roham chirping and shrugging proudly, “Did you just mention 3 billion, huh? Can you please show me any evidence that you gave me 3 billion dollars? Can a struggling pauper give such money….”The guests booed a no , leaving Clara
Dead Weight
“The loud murmuring and chatting of what seemed to be a crowd emanated from inside and Ethan paused, stealing a stare to see what was ongoing inside.Wait a minute,” he thought and could see a few guests gorgeously dressed, holding glasses of wine and tossing their heads to the audible rhythm of a song on the back ground. Rex neared him and whispered.“Can you hear that music? Something like a celebration is ongoing in there. Can you hear that?” he emphatically asked again and George neared him to whisper the, same. Ethan looked puzzled but calculative.The guard wasn’t standing alone now. About four more well-suited guards had stepped out to join him.It just dawned on Ethan they weren’t just being hostile to him, they were carrying out the instruction given to them obviously by either Roham or Clara.“OK, you want some tips,” Ethan intoned and dug his hand into his jacket and took out some bills, “Here you are. Can you let us in. We have an urgent appointment with Roham. It is very
