Once Ethan opened his eyes he realized they weren’t blurry anymore and he could see clearly now. Standing around him were the tall, ever-smiling doctor and Rex Arthur, and three of his personal guards. They stood arms folded hands on the waist, their gaze locked to his.
“Oh god,” he nagged, his breath unsteady, “Where am I?” he sighed and dared to rise and his limbs hurt, limiting him to lie back.
“Hold on, dear,” the doctor mumbled and leaned toward him to check his pulses and heartbeat, “You are strong now. Congratulations,” he turned to Rex, whose face still housed scare and uncertainty about Ethan’s fate. “He is conscious and strong now.”
“But how is he?” Rex asked, his brow ridged anxiously.
“Oh my limbs!” Ethan snapped, his face grinning hugely as he dared to touch his limbs and then raised his gaze on Rex once more, as if to ask him what had happened to him.
“He still complains about his limbs,” Rex said to the doctor who tossed his head in agreement. “What could probably have happened to him. What remedy could you proffer? I want him properly healed.”
Meanwhile, at the time Rex spoke, his gaze was fixed on the intricate necklace on the neck of Ethan. He had been wondering how he got that necklace, that necklace fetched a lot of memory now.
“You must know his broken limbs is not as a result of the accident. In fact, the accident didn’t have any much impact on him. He already had the broken limbs before the accident.” The doctor revealed.
And Ethan tossed his gaze away, his jaw sagged in thought as he recalled the thugs pounding him to a pup. He had already decided not to get anyone involved in his feud with Jack but the doctor insisted to know what happened to him prior to the accident.
He tightened his lips and wouldn’t utter a word.
“How did you get a broken limb,” Rex pestered him and sat down to hold his arm, “I know I hit you but glad it didn’t cause you any harm. I really need to know what happened to you so I can know what other way I can help you. What happened? I guess I saw you leaping.”
His eyes were still on the intricate gold necklace. He knew that necklace so much and to an extent, someone like Ethan couldn’t afford that piece. If there was something he wanted to know, it was that necklace hanging on his neck.
The doctor forced a smile and left after assuring to render any possible help if they needed it.
“Thank you so much, doctor,” Rex appreciated him with a warm handshake. Now with Rex and his guards, Ethan had already perceived he was with a moneybag but he couldn’t tell who exactly he was. Tossing caution to the wind, he narrated what actually transpired between him and Jack and how he felt betrayed by his girlfriend.
Like an ocean making toward the pebbled shore, Rex’s interest in Ethan grew.
“What is your name?” he asked, his eyes still staring at the necklace.
“Ethan,” he coughed and added, “Ethan Moneyfield.”
“I am Rex Arthur of the Arthur Empire, Ceo Arthur Bank,”
At the mention of that Ethan readjusted himself and cast an inspective gaze at the famous money bag he had been with. He stared at him from head to expensive, classic shoes and up to his cute, healthy face that exuded wealth.
“Nice to meet you, sir,” he winced and raised a thick brow, feeling a bit terrified by his presence.
“Keep calm, OK. I really want to know who gave you that necklace on your neck.”
Ethan hesitated as he stroked the piece, his thought pacing, mind thudding with the past. He winked and hesitated a little more.
“Talk to me, who gave it to you?”
“My mother,” he replied coldly, his tone seemed tensed but pensive and calculative, “She gave it to me.”
“Your mother?” Rex retorted, his mind burrowing deep into the past twenty years of his life. “Where is your mother?”
“She is dead and gone,” he replied again, his brow thickening with anxiety and shades of scare, hastily he sat up, and locked gaze with his beholder, “Why are you asking me these questions?”
Rex ignored his question and leaned forward to stroke the necklace, and instantly his recognition struck.
“I thought as much yes, this is it,” he said inwardly and he was thrown back memory lane to twenty years ago when he gifted Isabella that necklace.
Isabella was his beloved wife but unfortunately, Isabella was barren at the time, his parents never hid their contempt for her. Once she overheard Rex’s parents advising their son to take another wife and divorce her, she took a hard decision that ruined everything.
One day Rex returned home to find out Isabella had vacated his life without any short notice. He searched for her all over town but it was to no avail. Over the years he had been in search of that long-haired, conical-eyed Isabella, the wife of his youth but there seemed to be a dark end. Because of the love he had for her, he had vowed never to marry another.
“But she left barren,” Rex thought, “This can’t be my son,” he doubted to clarify his doubt, he took out his phone and showed him the photo. “Is this your mother?”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is my mother!” Ethan exploded, his eyes red with sheer love, “How did you know her? Who are you?” he asked right now with so much anxiety. “Have you met her before?”
“Who is your father?” Rex asked instead squinting at him trying to strike the resemblance; actually Ethan resembled Isabella.
“She never told me,” Ethan snorted heavily and told him several times he had demanded to know who his father was but it often sprouted dark memory and pain in her.
Rex lowered his gaze and tossed his head in wonder. He held Ethan’s hands, and gazed upon him with rare inspection.
For a moment he thought Isabella remarried after she left him so this cute-looking boy could be another’s man’s son.
“Excuse me sir but why are you staring at me like that?” Ethan was thrown off guard.
Rex left him, taking the bold step to run an instant DNA text on him to know if actually Ethan was his child. He was very sure of Isabella’s barrenness.
In less than twenty four hours the DNA was done and the doctor invited Rex to his office.
“Rex Arthur, I got good news for you. That boy is your son, your blood. The DNA is 100% positive.”
“Jesus!”

Dare Ethan At Your Downfall
“Nice to work in proximity with you now Linda,” Rex affirmed sitting up to catch her gaze as she sat coldly across the desk. “I must commend your indelible approach to making Jeff Group greater under the ownership of my son.”She etched a hard smile. “My pleasure, sir, and I look forward to a better Jeff Group too.” She lowered her gaze and asked, “About my interest in your son. Is there any hope for me? I would feel better acting and investing my effort in this group as Mrs. Ethan than Mrs. Linda.”Rex snorted heavily. “Yes, it is on my mind but I have come to realize Ethan has zeroed his mind on love, and wouldn’t want to hear anything about women. The other time he got mad at me. The only thing that matters to him now is his multi-billion empire…”She felt a churning in her belly, her heart stiffened with loss. “You have tried your best sir. I will wait , hopefully someday he will notice me. But for now I have to give this group my best and execute the best projects…”A cloud of sm
End Of Plan
“Have you ever pondered the impossibility of doing what you just said,” Linda blinked thoughtfully at him, her studious gaze on his venous hands that took out a stick of cigar and began to smoke. “Did you just say it for saying sake or you want to put me in trouble..”Jack hesitated , and once he puffed a cloud of smoke he sat down, and let a dismissive chuckle. “Ethan is fucking rich, and besides you are not stealing his money but stealing back what belongs to you…”She tossed her head. “Stealing back what belongs to me? How?” she seemed to be gaining interested; it was evident in the way she sat almost close to him. “I have lost that company. I don’t think I can ever reclaim it..”“Oh you can,” he cut in, and took out some documents. “Jeff group is currently worth 300 billion ever since Ethan stepped in, it is time to liaise with the accountants, the secretary and every useful staff that can aide your mission…”She dimmed her eyes thoughtfully. “And you think Ethan would have such e

Ethan Kills Josh
That night Rex had visited Ethan for dinner but within him, he knew the purpose of his visit wasn’t for the sake of dinner but to steal a chance to convince him about Linda. After appreciating him for hiring her as his branch manager, he pretentiously focused on talks about Linda just to capture his attention.“I have never seen a girl as educated as Linda. I guess you saw that in the interview,” he stole a glance at Ethan who was busy staring at the highlight on TV.He tossed his head idly, and Rex would have preferred a cold reply to the tossing of head which made him look like a fool. Ever since they started eating, Ethan had never muttered a word, especially when he raised discussion about Linda.Seeing that discussion about Linda wasn’t doing the charm, Rex resumed another discussion about his cousin’s son.“You are yet to see Mark, but that guy surprised his parents last weekend. He proposed to his girlfriend, and guess what they are expecting a baby. Despite his father’s warnin
Another Plot To Terminate Ethan
Being a servant to your enemy is a voice screaming weakness and not a powerful comeback. How else do I tell you Ethan is your enemy for life? How do you want me to tell you that he will do anything to see you breathe your last…”She sighed. “Listen up, I don’t want you to ruin my day, OK,” she snarled. “Getting that job is the best thing that has ever happened to me so I wouldn’t want you to poison my mood.”She wanted to shove past when she gripped her.“OK, fine, I have come to say sorry for everything,” he took out a sizeable flower from his car and held out. “please, let it go. I don’t want us to drag this. I have come to be the man you want me to be. I just…”“Jack… Jack…”she interrupted. “I thought you were my kind of man but you are not. Ethan is and will always,” she affirmed, seeing the cloud of ruin and fury that hovered in his eyes at the struck of reality. “Yes Ethan doesn’t crave me as much as I do but in my next life I will still go for him…”“You can’t compare me with t
Hiring Linda To Work For Him
Their gaze met and Linda struggled to swallow hard. “Good morning, dear. I …I came for the interviews,” she stuttered heavily, her gaze now lowered to avoid Ethan’s interrogative stare.“I least expected you showing up.” Ethan sat up and pointed her to a seat, “You lost your father’s group to me and you want to work for me in the same group? There are many groups out there that can hire you so why me?”“My father’s group like you said,” she sniffed gently, daring to fight off the shades of emotion that engulfed her as she dared to recall the loss. “I guess I stand a better chance to manage it and take it to the next level, since nothing is new about it…”“I want a fresh graduate for this position, Linda. You don’t stand a chance,” Ethan tossed his head and clicked his fingers… “Tell me why I shouldn’t reject you…”“I have two masters, three doctorate, and two first degrees in business administration, I got what it takes to be your manager. Let’s keep our differences aside. I can perfo
