Departure from Desmond Villa
Mr. Desmond stepped closer, allowing a couple of moments to pass before addressing Ethan. Although he had smiled while watching them, he could no longer hide how much he would miss the young man. He had met many influential people throughout his life, but Ethan had earned his respect through his actions rather than his appearance or growing reputation. “Son, before you leave, I want you to remember something,” Mr. Desmond began. “Your life is more important than any battle you might face. I know you're strong, and I have no doubt about your abilities, but strength alone cannot protect anyone from every danger. Always think carefully before taking action.” Ethan turned towards him. “I understand, sir.” “Good. You're still young, and you have a long future ahead of you. Don't allow your responsibilities to make you careless about your health. Take care of yourself, avoid unnecessary trouble, and never underestimate the threats posed by your enemies. I sincerely wish you good health,
Departure from Desmond Villa
Sonia stood directly in front of Ethan, but when she finally looked into his eyes, the words she had prepared seemed to disappear. She had wanted to ask him to stay one last time, yet the thought of making his departure even harder left her struggling to speak. Ethan watched her quietly, waiting for her to say what was on her mind. “Love, I know I can't stop you from leaving,” she began, her voice trembling. “You've made your decision, and I understand that you're a man who keeps his word. But before you go, there's something I need you to promise me.” “What is it, darling?” Ethan asked gently. “Promise me you'll take good care of yourself. Please, be careful wherever you go, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. I know how strong you are, and I know you can handle people who threatens you, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful.” Ethan said nothing. He simply gave her a faint smile, allowing her to continue. “I'm going to miss you terribly, sweetheart,” Sonia
A Man of his Word
Ethan remained silent, caught between a promise he had made to leave and a favour he had no intention of declining. Mr. Desmond had stood up for him when the Alexander family tried to humiliate him. He had not forgotten that kindness, and he had no desire to turn his back on someone who had helped him. Yet he had already told Sonia and her grandfather that he would leave. He was a man of his word, and his word meant a lot to him. He refused to treat it as an empty promise simply because circumstances had changed. “Ethan?” Mr. Desmond called after waiting a little longer. “Why are you so quiet?” Sonia leaned forward, her eyes fixed anxiously on him. “Sweetheart, please say something. Why aren't you answering us? Are you really considering leaving Grandpa and me to face this meeting alone?” Ethan slowly raised his eyes. “I'm considering the best way to handle the situation.” “Then what is there to consider?” Sonia asked desperately. “Grandpa needs your help, and you know what h
Before the WestTitan Showdown
Ethan studied Mr. Desmond's face, noticing the unusual seriousness in his expression. “You seem concerned. What exactly do you want to discuss with me, and why do you need my help?” Mr. Desmond adjusted himself on the sofa before answering. “It's about a business meeting called the WestTitan Project. It will bring together some of the top CEOs and executives in Dervadia, and it kicks off tomorrow morning.” Ethan nodded slowly. “I don't know much about it. What exactly happens at this meeting, and how can I help you? Is there something wrong?” “There's quite a lot you need to understand,” Mr. Desmond replied. “I know you're not familiar with this kind of business gathering, but the WestTitan Project is more than an ordinary meeting. It involves major shareholders, powerful business owners, and executives who want to influence the future of Dervadia's economy.” Sonia shifted closer to her grandfather, listening carefully as his expression grew more serious. “Some of the discuss
The Uncertainty of Louis
Ethan’s serious expression made Mr. Desmond and Sonia turned their full attention towards him. The sitting room fell quiet as he leaned forward, resting his hands on his knees.“Mr. Desmond, regarding the debt you owe Louis, I want you to keep that money. Don’t bother paying him now or in the future. You’ve suffered enough because of that man, and I see no reason why you should continue worrying about a debt to someone who has caused you so much pain.”Mr. Desmond nodded slowly. “That’s exactly what I intend to do, Ethan. I’ve already told you that I won’t pay him the debt.”“Good,” Ethan replied. “But on one condition: don’t convince yourself that Louis will certainly die in prison. He has received a thirty-year sentence, but none of us knows what the future holds. His fate is uncertain, and I don’t want you becoming emotional or troubled if he somehow gets out.”Mr. Desmond’s smile faded slightly. “I understand what you mean. Considering his age and the length of his sentence, I’ve
The Wounds of the Past
Ethan's expression grew serious as he looked at Mr. Desmond, who stood beside his granddaughter, still trying to comfort her despite her refusal to accept his departure.“Mr. Desmond, there's something I want to ask you before I leave,” Ethan began. “You already know that I've delivered Louis Blackthorne to Governor Gibson. He's been sentenced to thirty years in prison, and I hope knowing that your greatest enemy has finally been dealt with will allow you to find some peace. After everything he's done to you, I hope your mind can finally rest?”Mr. Desmond's face brightened. For the first time that morning, a genuine smile spread across his lips as he recalled the years of suffering Louis had caused him. “Of course, Ethan! How could I not feel relieved? That man has been a thorn in my flesh for years. No matter how hard I tried to move forward, his shadow always seemed to follow me. I never imagined that the day would come when someone would finally bring him to justice, yet you've ac
