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
She can't let go of Ethan
The following morning, Ethan descended the staircase with his moderate khaki backpack resting against his shoulder. He had finished preparing, packed his few belongings, and was ready to leave when he found Mr. Desmond and Sonia waiting downstairs.“Ethan, have you finished preparing?” Sonia asked, immediately approaching him. “We're almost ready to leave for Desmond Group.”Mr. Desmond nodded. “It's nearly time. I should have gone to the company by now. Your disappearance kept Sonia and me away from there for days, although my executives continued managing the business under my instructions. The chief operating officer supervised daily operations, the chief financial officer handled financial matters, and the heads of departments maintained their respective responsibilities. I also received regular reports to ensure everything remained under control.”“I'm glad the company didn't suffer because of me,” Ethan replied. “But you and Sonia shouldn't have abandoned your responsibilities f
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 unmist
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
