CHAPTER 32 : Suicide
At first, it seemed too strange. Ethan was busy with the Pierce family. That was where everyone was focused, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.The authorities had found him too quickly, someone must have known where to look and the right moment to strike.And the only man with the power to do all that right now was Ethan. Even though most people would not want to accept this fact. The suspicion grew into certainty.Ethan had not simply reacted after the Pierce family collapsed. He had been moving on other targets all along. While everyone assumed his attention was fixed on the people who had hurt him personally, he had quietly been closing in on this man.He was right.Unknown to the prisoner, Ethan had deployed members of his security network to the other city. They had tracked the man's movements. They had followed his visits and calls, identified the property where he kept his records and when the moment came, they had alerted the police.They had delibera
CHAPTER 31 : Unfinished Business
Julian Montgomery was not the only thing Ethan had been working on.He had been arrested. The Pierce family had crumbled, the men and women who had used Ethan's kindness and trusted him for a fool were now paying for it, one by one.But there was another target.Someone Ethan had been quietly pursuing, a person whose downfall had been arranged long before the recent events began.For now, Ethan kept that part of his plans to himself.One day after Julian's arrest, Ethan stood on the balcony of his private mansion. The morning air was cool on his skin, the city stretched out below him, bright under the sun. He held his phone to his ear and looked out at the skyline with a calm look on his face, like he was bored.A voice spoke on the other end of the line. It was low and steady and it delivered a short piece of news.Ethan listened without a word.For a few seconds, he remained silent. "I see," he said at last. His tone was soft, almost sad. "That is unfortunate."The voice waited."
CHAPTER 30 : Arrested
Julian couldn't find his voice, tables had turned all of a sudden, Ethan was supposed to be begging and bargaining for the release of his secretary but now Julian was the one on the ground, with a bleeding nose. "Your family name cannot change what is happening, your connections cannot change it, your little threats cannot change it." Ethan continued. Julian's eyes were wide. The confidence he carried into the building had almost completely vanished. He had come expecting to see fear on someone else's face. Instead, he was the one lying in his own blood.Every man in the room obeyed Ethan without question, every order Ethan gave was followed in silence and this baffled Julian so much. Ethan lifted a hand and gave a brief nod to one of his security men. The operative stepped forward at once. He was carrying a black document bag, used for confidential files and sensitive corporate records. He opened the zipper and took out a thick file, handling it respectfully to Ethan.Ethan he
CHAPTER 29 : Broken Pride
The cuffs bit into Julian's wrists. Two men held his arms from behind. Every time he moved, their grip tightened. His eyes darted from Ethan to Darius, then to the armed men standing along the walls.It still did not make sense. Julian had come here to celebrate. He had come to see Sarah tied to a chair, and Ethan, already willing to trade the files. Instead, Sarah was gone. His own man was tied up in her place. And a team of professional operatives had him pinned like a criminal."What is this?" Julian shouted."Let go of me!" He twisted and pulled with all his strength. "Do you hear me? I said let go!"The operatives held him like statues. Ignoring his failed struggles and shouts. "I am Julian Montgomery!" he roared. "Do you understand what that means? I am the heir to the Montgomery Real Estate Group! My family owns half this city! You think you can put your hands on me?"Still there was no reaction."You will regret this," Julian said. His voice shook with rage. "Every single
CHAPTER 28 : Walking Into A Trap
Darius's head snapped back. Blood flew from his mouth, plastering the concrete floor, he groaned and slumped against the chair.It was a hard punch. Ethan lowered his hand. He wasn't angry, this was punishment for Darius. "That is for scaring Sarah," Ethan said quietly.Darius spat blood on the floor but didn't argue."You tried to use her fear as leverage," Ethan went on. "You laughed at her, treated her like a bargaining chip. Whatever happens to you now, remember this. You do not touch someone under my protection."Darius looked up through swollen eyes, fear enveloped him like a canopy. .Ethan walked back to the center of the room and faced his security team."Listen carefully," The operatives straightened at once."Julian will be here shortly. I want him to walk in believing everything is still under Darius's control. He must not suspect anything.""Yes, Boss""Move the convoy. All the vehicles, take them around the back, Park them out of sight. The front lot should look empty
Chapter 27: Convincing.
Julian Montgomery stood in the middle of his living room, giving orders."Put the champagne on ice," he told a maid. "The expensive bottles. The ones from my father's cellar.""Yes, Mr. Montgomery.""And clear the table. I want it ready for guests."The maid hurried away.Julian poured himself a glass of whiskey and walked to the window. The city lights were bright below. For the first time in days, he felt like a man with a future.The past week has been a nightmare. The Pierce family had collapsed. The Montgomery Group was bleeding money. Vanguard Apex had cut off every financing channel and shut down every partnership. His father called him ten times a day, creditors were sending warnings. And Ethan Sterling, the delivery boy he had laughed at, had become a real threat to his freedom.But tonight, everything would change.Julian had Sarah. He had the leverage, In a few hours, Ethan would have to hand over the medical records from Dr. Halloway's clinic, every single copy. Without
