“Move away from him! What do you think you are doing?” She yelled at the security guards who were about to beat Ethan up.“Kara, stay out of this, you don't know what he did. I can't believe you not only married this thief but you also brought him into our home. But don't worry, I have already fixed it, the police are on their way to arrest him as we speak.”“What do you m

The King of War
There was a knock on Ethan’s apartment in the evening.Ethan, who had been reviewing regional logistics reports in his study, calmly walked down the staircase to answer it himself. He turned the polished brass handle and swung the door open, only to find three familiar figures standing beneath the porch lights.It was Kara and her parents.Kara stood in the center, her eyes red-rimmed and brimming with tears, her hands trembling as she clutched a small medical file against her chest. Flanking her were her mother and father, both vibrating with an absolute, unbridled fury that distorted their features.Before Ethan could even utter a word of greeting, Kara’s father took an aggressive step forward, shoving a finger directly toward Ethan’s chest. “You absolute monster! You thought you could just play your little games with our family and walk away unscathed?”Ethan remained perfectly still, his eyes shifting calmly to Kara. “Kara? What is th
Master Vance
Mary Jane’s father paced the linoleum floor, his hands wringing together so tightly his knuckles turned white. “You have to do it, Mary! You have to go to him and beg for his forgiveness, accept to marry him! There is no other way out of this nightmare!”“Father, no! I already told you, I would rather die!” Mary Jane cried out. “He is a repulsive, predatory monster! How can you stand there and ask me to hand my entire life over to a tyrant like Master Vance?”“Because if you don’t, we are going to lose absolutely everything!” her mother wept, clutching a damp handkerchief to her face as she stepped toward her daughter. “Mary, look around you! The thugs are going to return with more men. They will burn this roof right over our heads! Your father and I are too old to sleep in the dirt. Master Vance offered to erase every single cent of our debt the moment you sign the marriage contract. It’s a sacrifice, yes, but it’s a sacrifice that saves your family!”“A
Countryside thugs
The dirt-packed paths of the village market were bustling with the mid-morning rush, a chaotic maze of wooden stalls, colorful awnings, and the sharp aromas of fresh produce, dried spices, and livestock.Ethan walked a step behind Mary Jane, his hands casually slid into his trouser pockets. To the casual observer, he looked like an ordinary visitor; he had left his luxury SUV parked back at the farmhouse and accompanied her on foot, wearing a simple button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.But beneath his relaxed posture, his razor-sharp senses were fully engaged. As they moved past the crowded stalls, the shift in the atmosphere was instantaneous. The lively bartering died down, replaced by a toxic, heavy wave of stage-whispers and pointed glares.“Look, there she is. The shameless one,” a woman at a fabric stall muttered, nudging her neighbor.“Back from the city after getting caught, and now she’s dragging some new man around
Mary Jane
The rolling green hills of the York Town countryside were bathed in the soft, muted gold of a late afternoon sun, but the scenic tranquility did nothing to ease the quiet weight settling in Ethan Vale’s chest.He pulled his black SUV to a stop along a narrow, dirt-hemmed driveway leading to a modest, slightly weathered farmhouse.He had made a solemn promise to Sabrina, and the King of War never broke his word.Stepping out of the vehicle, he walked toward the porch, his eyes taking in the peeling white paint of the railing and the old rocking chair resting in the shade. Before he could even knock, the door creaked open.A young woman stepped out, carrying a woven basket of laundry. The moment her eyes locked onto his figure, the basket slipped from her hands, tumbling to the wooden deck.“M-Mr. Vale?”Ethan froze, a sharp pang of guilt twisting in his gut. It was Mary Jane, his former personal assistant. But she was a shadow of
Nico Seaman, you are fired!!
The reflective glass doors of Seaman Technologies didn't offer Nico Seaman the same sense of absolute domain they usually did when he stormed through them. Although his new plan of tarnishing Vale Corp’s image seems to be working, it had cost the Seaman Group a ton of money, and the sting of losing the initial two hundred and forty million dollars was still vibrating through his veins like an electrical current.He didn't bother greeting his assistant as he marched straight toward the main executive conference room, ready to summon his financial analysts and demand a full audit on the state commercial banking clauses. But the moment he threw the double doors open, he stopped dead in his tracks.The room wasn't empty. Sitting at the head of the long obsidian table was his brother, Dave Seaman. Surrounding him were five of the most powerful, stone-faced senior board executives and institutional shareholders of the corporation. The atmosphere in the room was
Lawsuits
The morning sun barely touched the glass facade of Vale Corporation’s tower when Ethan strode into the building.He had been taking the operational side of the company very seriously these days, fully intending to keep his word of completely overtaking Seaman Group of Companies with little or no reliance on his hidden, lethal King Of War alter ego.Arriving at the executive suite, Mario Kart stood pale as a ghost by the door, clutching a digital tablet with trembling hands.“Ethan, we have a massive problem,” she whispered, her voice tight with panic.Ethan frowned, unbuttoning and taking off his suit coat. “Of course we do, Mario. Don't we always? What kind of problem are we facing so early in the morning?”Mario swallowed hard, her knuckles turning white around the device. “Not just one. Dozens, I am afraid.” She held out the tablet toward him. “Thirty-two separate lawsuits were filed against our various subsidiaries and acquisition ass
