“Ethan Arthur!” the doctor called, and bowed to him, “You are hereby fit and ready to be discharged, your convoy awaits you outside. Are you aware of that?”

“Aware of what?” Ethan raised a thick brow and breathed uneasily before opening the window to see hefty-looking guards, all suited with sunshades adding to their hostility, they manned a convoy of Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Austin Martins.

Ethan shot a striking glance at the doctor. “My name is Ethan Moneyfield not Ethan Arthur. And the billionaire? I didn’t see him again after yesterday. Why the change of name now?” he asked.

The doctor lost about what response to give, handed him a paper. “Please put your signature here to approve your discharge.” He obliged and Ethan gazed on the paper to see Ethan Arthur graven on the spaces and he winced.

He managed to put his signature and the doctor left only for two hefty guards to step in and bow, hailing, “Grand master!”

Ethan raised a thick brow, staring at them sheepishly; he had never been so composed before. “Please, what is happening? And where is your boss? He promised to get back to this place but I didn’t see him again. And here you are calling me grand master.”

“Our boss demands to see you immediately at the mansion. It is very urgent and you must come with us, please.” He hesitated, his eyes inspecting the guards and then he stared around to see if they were referring to another person.

“Are you serious?” he rubbed his eyes and blinked in utter confusion but then he grinned and shrugged, “How can this be. Rex  Arthur wants to see me in his mansion?” he hesitated.

“Please, don’t hesitate, grandmaster. We are on instruction and you must come with us,” the guard pleaded,

Shrugging hugely, Ethan joined them to the convoy outside where the rest of the guards bowed to him, with their hands folded in honor. He could recall winking several times trying to see if he was dreaming.

He had seen those guards with Rex yesterday and they bowed to him so why would they do the same to him now. He paused for a moment to brood over it before enter into the Rolls Royce whose door had already been opened for him.

This was his first time to get into such a luxury car, and he could feel some rejuvenation and vigor sprouting in him as he felt the seat and glanced around the expensive car. He could breathe life afresh.

“God what is happening?” he cast a glance behind to see the rest of the cars in straight lines, their gleaming headlamp sparkling, and he stroked his hair, feeling on top of the world already.

Once they drove into the mansion, he was graced with the honor to alight form the car as one of the guards opened the door and the rest bowed to him, with their gestures pointing at the entrance to their mansion.

He stepped into the edifice and couldn’t stop staring around the haven of a mansion.

“Welcome to my abode, Ethan,” the unnoticeable voice sounded and once he turned around, he caught sight of Rex , well seated at the dining table in the room , his smiles well held as he gestured at him to join him.

The maids led Ethan to join him and he gave him a warm lunch. Ethan had been starving and not just hungry. He ate with great appetite and was really eager to know the reasons for the fanfare and honor.

“I didn’t see you again, sir,” he sounded, “What is happening? And why did the doctor change my name to yours. He mentioned Ethan Arthur.”

Rex patted him on the shoulders, and snorted heavily to reveal the shocker. “You are my son, the flesh of my flesh, and the blood of my blood.”

Ethan gape at him, his confusion compounding like gravel, “What are you talking about , sir? I don’t get you. Me? Your son. Son of Rex Arthur? This has got to be a joke. How? When? talk to me.”

Tossing his head he narrated to him, how he married Isabella, his mother and she was heartbroken by the contempt of his parents who never wanted a barren wife for him. She couldn’t hold back so she vacated his life.

Leaning to Ethan he held his fingers. “Obviously, she was pregnant when she left and gave birth to you, my son. I have been searching for her all these year past but there seemed to be no breakthrough. How did she die?” Rex asked, bitterness up his guts.

Ethan lowered his gaze, his face suffused with pain and gloom.

“She died of breast cancer. She died in my arms. She had a lot to tell me but she couldn’t tell me. All she did was put this necklace on my neck. She had always worn it.”

Rex held his face and gave him a gluey hug.

“Welcome back, son!”

He patted his back and Ethan dimmed his eyes in rejuvenation and strength. He stroke his scraggly hair and gave orders to his maids to see that Ethan look fresher and better again.

First, he had the opportunity to have a warm bath and he couldn’t even tell what a proper bath was like anymore. These years of poverty had come to an end just instantly..

Given a clean haircut, he was adorned in expensive tuxedo, sleeves and oxford.

“That is my son,” Rex admired him from behin., “Anything you need is at your beck and call.”

“Thank you, father,” Ethan replied and Rex tossed his head; hearing a son call him father was worth more than his avarice of wealth.

He took out a credit card. “Here you are. This credit is specially for you, your spending limit is one billion dollars.”

Ethan gaped at him, his body shaking but he dared to keep his poise.

“Whatever you want this card can afford it,” Rex said, “I am not done yet,” he took out a business licensee documents and placed on the desk, “Please, put your signatures as my heir.”

Ethan couldn’t blink, he couldn’t bat an eye lid; he gaped as he put down his signatures hurriedly..

“So you told me you were a student. Are you going to school tomorrow?” Rex queried.

Ethan hesitated; his mind fell back to his horrible past in school.

“No, dad, I am on six months suspension.”

  • Tessy And Grayson Gets A Shocker

    “So when is the gift you bought for me going to arrive?” Tessy asked Grayson who had been staring at the image of Ethan all the while, “I just hope it gets here on time.”Grayson snorted heavily; just a day ago Tessy had demanded a gold bracelet to grace her neck, she had told Grayson about it and he had placed an order for a special one. The consignment was meant to arrive today, and Tessy had been curious.“Don’t worry Dear,. Any moment from now the consignment will arrive,” he replied her, his face buried in the illusion of hearing Ethan’s demise soon. He had dreamt of Ethan being buried and now he couldn’t wait to get a feed back from the mafias he sent to kill him.“Are you still bothered about him?” Tessy asked, taking the photo from him, “I thought you hired some mafias to take care of the asshole. I guess by now they must have taken care of him. What do you think?He hesitated and hummed in exhaustion. “I hope so, I have been trying to reach the mafias but they are unavailable

    “I need his head,” Grayson groaned, pacing up and down as he addressed the group of mafias that stood in front of him with their faces fused with fury, and their jawline sagged with danger.“He thinks he is untouchable and feels he can walk away with my money…” he intoned and spread a disdain stare at them. “We are talking about 500 million dollars here. That fraudster called Ethan is sitting on my glory and money… I need his life..”“How soon do you want his head?” one of them asked, a thick towering man with thick mustache and hefty shoulders. “My men are ready to take him down as you soon you want. All I need is an advance.””Grayson groaned under his breathe. “Money is not going to be a problem.” He raised his hand and one of his guards stepped closer with his briefcase. They flipped it open and he took out a bundle and placed on the table. “Here you are . Once I see his bloodied head I will give you your balance.”“There is no cause for alarm,” their ring leader groaned, slamming

I don’t know if you are expecting anyone.”Ethan hesitated for a while and replied with a smile. “Let him in.”The secretary bowed and left at once to fetch him.Grayson inched into the office staring around as if it wasn’t the same office he had been occupying all this while. He didn’t fancy the idea of taking a seat so he stood , arms folded, face clouded with frown as he shot those dark brooding eyes at Ethan.“Who do we have here? Grayson,” Ethan chirped , rolling around in his chair as his chin dragged a smile. “You are yet to resume work. Or do you need me to get you some toasted bread before you can recognize me as your boss now, huh?”“I have not come here to recognize your fucking ass as my boss.
