The Mystery he Carried
His expression remained calm, but his thoughts had already returned to the abandoned warehouse where Louis and his men had held him captive. There was something he had discovered there that he hadn't checked since leaving the place, and the thought made him instinctively reach towards his pocket. The burial invitation card. His fingers curled slightly as he remembered the aged card he had discovered at the warehouse. His heart stirred with a mixture of anticipation and concern. He hoped it hadn't fallen out or gotten lost. It had been a while since he had last checked, and the possibility of losing it troubled him more than he wanted to admit. “I hope it's still here. It would be a serious problem if I'd lost it.” he thought. Without drawing attention to himself, he slowly slipped his hand into his pocket. His fingers brushed against the thick paper, and relief immediately washed over him when he felt its familiar, worn surface. The card was still there, its aged texture unmistaka
A Victory that left its Mark
“Darling, wait...” Ethan said, gently holding Sonia's hands. “Let me take off these battered clothes and have a bath before dinner. I don't want to sit at the dining table looking like someone who has just crawled out of a battlefield.” Sonia glanced at his worn clothes before looking into his eyes. A small smile appeared on her face as she squeezed his hands. “Alright, sweetheart. Go ahead. You've been through so much, and you deserve a good bath and some rest before eating. I'll make sure the food stays warm until you're ready.” “Thank you, darling.” Ethan smiled and brushed his thumb across the back of her hand. “I promise I won't keep you waiting for too long.” “You'd better not,” Sonia replied playfully. “I've been waiting all this time to see you eat the food I prepared. I won't allow you to escape after making me wait so long.” Ethan chuckled. “Who said anything about escaping? After tasting your cooking, I might even ask for a second serving.” “You haven't even tasted
The Depth of Sonia's Love
“Darling, nothing can happen to me,” Ethan said gently, wiping the remaining tears from Sonia’s cheeks. “Look at me. I’m standing right in front of you, and I’m back home. You don't need to be afraid anymore.” Sonia searched his face, still holding his hand as though she needed to convince herself that he was truly there. “But, hero, you don't understand how worried I've been. Whenever I hear something bad about you, my heart refuses to settle. I keep imagining the worst, and I can't stop myself from worrying about what might happen to you.” Ethan smiled reassuringly. “I understand, sweetheart, but you have to trust me. Nobody born of a woman can kill me or defeat me. I'm stronger than you think, and I know how to protect myself. So, whenever you hear that I've gone missing or something has happened to me, don't allow fear to take control of you. As long as I'm in charge of myself and the people around me, including those who depend on me, you have nothing to worry about. I know wh
An Emotional Reunion
The evening sky had already darkened over Dervadia, but the Desmond villa remained warmly lit as Mr. Desmond and Sonia waited in the sitting room for Ethan's return. A thriller movie played on the latest Samsung television, filling the room with tense music and occasional sounds of gunfire, yet neither of them was paying much attention. Sonia had prepared a special delicacy for Ethan, hoping to welcome him with something delicious after his absence, but her excitement had made the wait almost unbearable. “Grandpa, do you think Ethan will be home soon?” Sonia asked, glancing towards the entrance for what seemed like the hundredth time. Mr. Desmond smiled at her impatience. “Didn't you hear what he told me on the phone a few minutes ago? He said he would come back home. Why are you worrying so much?” “I'm not worrying, Grandpa. I'm just waiting for him.” Sonia picked up her phone and checked the screen again. “It's been a few minutes since the phone call, and I really want to see
The WestTitan Deception
“Listen carefully,” Damian replied. “We shouldn't try to overpower Ethan through force or challenge him openly. Instead, we should use the WestTitan project meeting to our advantage. Ethan may be powerful, but he doesn't yet understand what the meeting is really about or how everything is supposed to work. We can exploit that lack of knowledge.” Celeste leaned closer to the screen, listening intently as Damian continued. “During the meeting, we should speak in a way that makes Mr. Desmond and Sonia appear unreasonable, unprepared, or responsible for any problems that arise. We can twist the discussion to our advantage, present our arguments selectively, and use carefully chosen words to make it seem as though the Desmond family is the one creating difficulties. If Ethan steps in to defend them without fully understanding the situation, we can turn his own words against him and make him look ignorant of the project.” Diana's eyes brightened as she began to understand his intention.
Diana's Desperate Countermove
Diana considered her mother's question for a moment before answering. “Mom, I think a video call would be the best option. We can discuss with the Cross family without wasting time travelling to their residence. The WestTitan project is only two days away, and we need to act quickly.” Celeste nodded in agreement, her expression becoming more determined. “You're right. Call Damian first. We need to hear what they have to say before deciding how to deal with Ethan's interference.” Diana immediately picked up her latest iPhone and searched for Damian's contact. After a few moments, she initiated a video call and waited impatiently for someone to answer. When the screen finally lit up, Damian appeared with his younger sister, Isabella, sitting beside him. “Diana, what a surprise!” Damian said, raising an eyebrow. “Is something wrong? You don't usually call us like this without a reason.” “Hello, Damian. Hello, Isabella,” Diana replied. “I wanted to discuss something important with you
